"The Handbook of Global Interventions in Communication Theory by Miike and Yin is an intellectual tour de force that boldly grapples with "mainstream" Eurocentric paradigms while introducing a refreshing range of both well known and nascent concepts that open up space for global communicative inquiry. I would encourage all those interested in decentering the existing hegemonic teaching of communication theory to add this to their personal libraries." 
Ronald L. Jackson II, Author of Encyclopedia of Identity, Past President, National Communication Association
"An admirably comprehensive and critical intervention on historicizing as well as defining the emerging contours of communication theories. The editors, Yoshitaka Miike and Jing Yin, have gathered a diverse group of scholars from across the world to produce an outstanding handbook which will be extremely useful equally for seasoned academics as well as research students." 
Professor Daya Thussu, Hong Kong Baptist University, author of International Communication: Continuity and Change.

"Exciting nonfiction books for kids just beyond the beginner stage can be hard to come by, and the story of the sinking of the Titanic and its subsequent rediscovery will be the ticket for both hard-to-please young 'real stuff' buffs and older reluctant readers. The descriptions of the ship and action are clear, facts are accurate, and the watercolor illustrations convey the high drama of the sinking. A must."--School Library Journal.&#160;&#160;

The History of France

A Cultural History of Women in the Renaissance

‘Perera and Pathak weave together a number of ‘serious’ perspectives on humour. Inaugurating a novel method to excavate the nuances of cultural politics in South Asia, the book offers useful insights that both refine and deepen scholarship in South Asian studies. Edited by two prominent South Asianists, this book will profit all social scientists who are willing to undertake serious adventures beyond the predictable, formulaic and mainstream approaches. It is profoundly engrossing and enriching – a must read!’
Ashok Acharya, Professor, Department of political science, University of Delhi, India

‘Humour expands the field of politics at innocent moments, but to dissect the codes of subversive energy inherent in humour is extremely challenging. A pioneering effort at south Asian scale, here, the subversive politics, the hidden layers of the embedded past of the region and the cultural nuances of humour all come alive brilliantly.　　From Punch to stand-up comedy, and from Khattar Kaka’s philosophical forays to internet memes, the book offers an extraordinary canvas of humour and its subversive energy in South Asia.’　
Sadan Jha, Associate Professor, Centre for Social Studies, Surat, Gujarat, India 

‘In complete seriousness, this amazing work examines humour in social and political relations in diverse contexts! What makes the book different and iconic in some senses is the unravelling of laughter and humour in classical frames of analysis. It opens a new mode of understanding social reality: a lens which is often ignored because it is considered trivial or merely funny. By taking it seriously, anthropologists Perera and Pathak have opened up novel avenues for research in our efforts to unpack a troubled world disrupted by political instability, violence, anxiety, trauma, and much else.’
Meenakshi Thapan, Former Professor of Sociology and Director, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, India

“The authors have to be congratulated for their ability to describe in a book of less than 600 pages such a variety of topics and methods, together with scripts allowing the reproduction of the results, for so many real examples. It is a valuable contribution with a strong statistical orientation and a carefully designed pleasant typography.” (Anna Bartkowiak, ISCB News, iscb.info, Issue 65, June, 2018)“The chapters are nicely structured, well presented and motivated. … it provides sufficient exercise questions making it easier for adoption as a graduate textbook. The book will be equally attractive to graduate students, practitioners, and researchers in the respective fields. … The book contributes stimulating and substantial knowledge for time series analysis for the benefit of a host of community and exhibits the use and practicality of the fabulous subject statistics.” (S. Ejaz Ahmed, Technometrics, Vol. 59 (4), November, 2017)

Praise for Nothing But The Truth&ldquo;Nothing But The Truth is such an enjoyable escape. I love the sparky writing and the &lsquo;Day of Truth&rsquo; concept is brilliantly done. This is&#160;a properly sparkling debut&#160;and frankly if it makes even one reader decide they should wear whatever shoes and knickers are most comfortable, Holly should probably get a prize.&rdquo;&mdash;Jackie Fraser, author of The Bookshop of Second Chances &#160; &ldquo;I was immediately hooked into the fun and pacy&#160;world of LA's publicists to the stars as well as enjoying the&#160;more serious themes that were weaved effortlessly through the story. Hollywood, hot bartenders and a touch of magic&mdash;this brilliant novel literally has it all!&rdquo;&mdash;Lorraine Brown, author of The Paris Connection   &ldquo;In Holly James&rsquo;s Nothing But the Truth, a magical twist&mdash;publicist Lucy Green wakes up on her thirtieth birthday unable to tell a lie&mdash;turns out to be the spark that sets fire to a woman&rsquo;s life, launching an urgent journey of self-reflection, self-empowerment, and workplace revolution. At once charmingly effervescent and seriously introspective, James skillfully balances a call to arms with a story of romantic love and personal awakening. Readers will fall head over heels for Lucy and for James,&#160;a fresh, sharp new&#160;voice in women's fiction.&rdquo;&mdash;Ashley Winstead, author of Fool Me Once and In My Dreams I Hold a Knife
