Ron Ransom's Favorite Santas for Carvers

'Laruelle and Peyrouse offer a seminal addition to the literature and partially fill the void in scholarship on Central Asia from the South Asian perspective. Given India's rise as a regional power and strategic player, this book should be on the shelf of every student and specialist of Central Asia, and is required reading for those formulating policy on the region.'    Reuel R. Hanks, Oklahoma State University, USA  'India is the looming, yet poorly understood big actor in the strategic competition for the heart of Eurasia.  This book offers a wealth of unique insights into how Indians themselves understand the shape and dynamics of this accelerating contest.' S. Enders Wimbush, German Marshall Fund of the United States  'Confirming the shift of power eastwards, India has been depicted as a rising global power. Yet, the complex political, economic, cultural and strategic contexts of such a rise have surprisingly been overlooked by commentators. Not anymore! This timely volume provides a rare and comprehensive overview of India's international interactions with Central Asia. The wealth of solid knowledge and sharp insights demystifies the 'new great games' in the region and constructs a prescient account of the strengths and weaknesses both of India's external relations and its Central Asian policy.' Emilian Kavalski, University of Western Sydney, Australia  'This rare collection of essays by primarily Indian scholars provides a masterful analysis of Central Asia's role in India's Look-North policy. The authors' underlying premise that the current striking gap between possibility and reality in India's relations with Central Asia is inconsistent with India's rise and Central Asia's intended geopolitical diversification, suggests a looming major change in the regional security dynamics worth paying attention to.' Rouben Azizian, Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies, Honolulu, USA  '... the essays are rich in argument and empirics, and the volume is a boon for an

’More than a decade after 9/11, this timely book explores the dilemmas faced by liberal states in confronting asymmetric warfare waged primarily by non-state actors. Legal experts offer lucid assessments at the intersection of human rights law, international humanitarian law and Islamic law that must be understood in order for liberal societies to maintain their core values while meeting dynamic security challenges.' William C. Banks, Syracuse University, USA  ’The Liberal Way of War discards the tired practice of counterpoising human rights and humanitarian law in a normative turf war. Instead, using the touchstone of liberalism, it examines the synergistic relationship between these bodies of law and the nature of the conflicts that they govern. Robert P. Barnidge, Jr. is to be commended for bringing together such an accomplished group of original thinkers to examine this dynamic from different perspectives.’ Michael Schmitt, United States Naval War College, USA

From the reviews:

"The book presents most of the technical tools available today for a rigorous analysis of random mean field models. It will be indispensable for anyone working in the field." (Anton Bovier, Combinatorics, Probability & Computing, Issue 13, 2004)
"This book seeks to start from basics … to develop the rigorous theory, in almost complete detail. … this is a book of ideas and calculations which build upon each other to create a rich and informative theory." (David Aldous, SIAM Reviews, Vol. 47 (1), 2005)
"Each section of the book ends with some comments on the literature. … The author has … put a great effort into rendering the exposition as clear as possible. … The book will, certainly, find a favorite place on the desk of anyone working in the field." (Anton Bovier, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1033 (8), 2004)
"This is a book on structures, which are very interesting for physics and – at the same time – rather fundamental for mathematics. … In conclusion, this is a very important, impressive book, written by a prominent mathematician and leading expert in the field … . the book remains indispensable as a basic introduction and reference on this extremely difficulty and interesting subject." (EMS Newsletter, March, 2006)

From the reviews:“The book under review introduces the cell method, which is a numerical scheme for the solution of field problems governed by partial differential equations. … This book may be of interest to engineers and mathematicians who want to investigate the cell method further and see how it can interplay with other numerical methods, including the finite element method and the finite volume method.” (Teodora-Liliana Rădulescu, zbMATH, Vol. 1280, 2014)“The book under review introduces the so-called ‘cell method’ (CM) developed by the authors for solving various partial differential equations (PDEs). … authors attempt to introduce the CM without a high level of mathematics and hope that the readers can implement the CM for practical engineering problems. … this book may be interesting to those mathematicians who want to investigate the cell method further and see how it competes with other well-studied numerical methods such as the finite element method and the finite volume method.” (JiChun Li, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2013)

"It’s a great book!!!"-Lew Aron and Bob Pyles
"This book needs to be read by psychoanalysts at every level of development, from candidates to institute administrators. Eisold brilliantly makes the case for the powerful presence of so many institutional and social formations in our every theoretical and clinical move.Psychoanalytic theory and practice is saturated with social process, institutional practices and ideologies.Much of the material in these chapters is painful and challenging to encounter. But Ken Eisold writes in a welcome and deft manner and the lessons he wants to teach us and that we must learn, arrive in a deeply accessible form."-Adrienne Harris, New York University, Editor of The Relational Perspectives Book Series.

"This bookcontains many brilliant insights into the origins and nature of the ills besetting contemporary psychoanalytic institutions. Ken Eisold has a unique and profound understanding of individual and collective psychology and of organisations. His work also offers helpful lessons from the past and the present which should not be ignored."-Douglas Kirsner, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Deakin University; Honorary Member, American Psychoanalytic Association. Author Unfree Associations: Inside Psychoanalytic Institutes.

"Kenneth Eisold has long been one of the most astute and insightful observers of the institutional problems of psychoanalysis. He is one of the few psychoanalysts who easily bridges the gap between a profound psychoanalytic knowledge of individuals, and that of groups. Eisold clearly illustrates our similar struggle to free ourselves from the confines of our founders, and to bring psychoanalysis into the modern age."-Robert Pyles, former head of APsaA.

'David Seidl's book is to be welcomed. He takes organizations as his focus and explores in great detail how Luhmann conceptualises them as autopoietic systems. This book provides an excellent resource for those interested in new perspectives on organization theory and also for those interested more widely in Luhmann's social theory.'   Professor John Mingers, University of Kent, UK  'There are two sides to any organizational identity, a determinate one and an indeterminate one. David Seidl succeeds in showing that any entrepreneurial function necessarily assumes that both are working together. This alone is turning classical organization theory into a postclassical one, places evolutionary sensitivity and undecidability where it belongs, and puts an end to the idea of seeking identity in definite purpose.'   Professor Dirk Baecker, University of Witten/Herdecke, Germany   'David Seidl's book can be read as a systematic and meticulous analysis of the work of human systems in the continuous work of saving the structures and appearances of the human world. He places autopoiesis in its social context through the work of Niklas Luhmann. Luhmann's comprehensive and probing analysis invites us to re-interpret contemporary views of organization by opening up radically new vistas for re-thinking organization as a profound and existential theme.'  Professor Robert Cooper, Keele University, UK
