’This is a superb work and punctures the myth of African countries in thrall to China. Lucy Corkin's deep account of how the Angolan Government exercises its agency, and how it negotiates with China, is revelatory. The work is nuanced and balanced and important.’ Stephen Chan, School of Oriental & African Studies, UK  ’This exceptionally rich and informed book punctures much of the myth about China’s operations in Africa. Based on detailed primary fieldwork in Angola and China, Corkin shows the limits to the China’s impact on Africa lens. This is a relationship driven as much by Africans as by the Chinese. Read it, and be informed by evidence rather than prejudice!’ Raphael Kaplinsky, The Open University, UK   ’This book is an immense achievement. It provides a finely detailed look at a critical relationship, and an illuminating analysis that is both empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated. Highly recommended for scholars, policy makers and anyone seeking a better understanding of how China really works in Africa.’ Deborah Brautigam, Johns Hopkins University, USA, and author of The Dragon's Gift: The Real Story of China in Africa  'This book provides timely insight into the highly relevant and dynamic research field of China-Africa relations by studying the evolution of China’s relationship with Angola through the concession of oil-backed loans to this country. Despite the difficulties that are involved in obtaining relevant data in both China and Angola, challenging contexts for any researcher, and in a field in which there is very little research to begin with, Corkin’s book stands out as a rich empirical qualitative study, which is based on almost 200 indepth interviews conducted in both China and Angola as well as the use of Portuguese and Chinese-language-based texts, an achievement in and of itself.'

From the reviews:
"This text provides a unique blend of theory, methods and applications that is suitable for a one-semester course in Bayesian analysis." C.M. O'Brien for Short Book Reviews of the ISI, December 2006
"The material of the book covers more than a one semester course and provides enough results for a second course. … the book is simultaneously useful for different readership groups. Instructors will get guidelines for preparing a course on Bayesian statistics … . Students will enjoy the excellently clear … style and the exercises at the end of each chapter. Practitioners will find plenty of classical and recent Bayesian methods. … I highly recommend the book to all readers who are interested in Bayesian statistics." (Friedrich Liese, Mathematical Reviews, Issue, 2007 g)
"This book, with its 10 chapters, represents a valuable introduction to Bayesian statistics and varies among theory, methods and applications. … The book’s material is invaluable, and is presented with clarity … . Each chapter’s topics are covered by various examples and many exercises. … gives a constructive approach to the statistical analysis based on Bayes’ formula. … So, it is strongly recommended to libraries and all who are interested in statistics." (Hassan S. Bakouch, Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol. 35 (3), 2008)
"Taken overall, the book should be recommended to a wide audience...as a source of interesting and mind-provoking information about Bayesian statistics. " ( ISCB News, 2008)
"Bayesian analysis have arrived. … This text offers one approach based on the pedagogic decision to ‘balance theory, methods, and applications.’ … The brief introduction to classical inference … provides a nice basis for the objective Bayesian treatment offered by the authors throughout the book. … this book appealing for classically trained statisticians. … Overall, I congratulate the authors for a largely successful attempt to introduce true religion." (C. Shane Reese, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 103 (482), June, 2008)
"The book under review aims to contribute to existing graduate-level introductory texts on Bayesian analysis by providing an impressive blend of theory, methods, and applications. It consists of 10 chapters and 5 appendices." (Joseph Melamed, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1135 (13), 2008)
"This book is an introduction to the theory and methods underlying Bayesian statistics written by three absolute experts on the field. It is primarily intended for graduate students taking a first course in Bayesian analysis or instructors preparing an introductory one-semester course on Bayesian analysis. … The book is written in a clear, relatively mathematical style … ." (Björn Bornkamp, Advances in Statistical Analysis, Issue 1, 2009)
"This book introduces the mathematical theory of Bayesian analysis along the statistical line of decision theory. … This book is intended as a graduate-level analysis of mathematical problems in Bayesian statistics and can in parts be used as textbook on Bayesian theory. … Overall, if I had to recommend a good book on new advancements of Bayesian statistics in the last decade from a theoretical decision point of view, I would recommend this book." (Wolfgang Polasek, Statistical Papers, Vol. 50, 2009)

’This most needed volume represents a highly inspiring investigation into the role of photography as object and tool of representation in museums and archives today. Through a comprehensive selection of contributions by an interdisciplinary variety of authors - all drawing on hands-on experience - this volume fills up a void in photography and cultural studies. It is a must-read for everyone working with the materiality and meaning of photography.’ Mette Sandbye, University of Copenhagen, Denmark  ’We have been needing a book like this for a long time. Looking at what photographs do, and could do, in museums, it beautifully fills a gap that has for too long stayed open in the literature on museums, museum practice, representation and photographs. On these pages we see photographs as acts of remembrance, as haunting, as absent, as representational forms and as much more besides. And throughout, this essential new volume not only explores the work of photographs in museums, but also makes a significant contribution to far wider debates on the processes of representation.’ Sandra Dudley, University of Leicester, UK

Uncertain Images: Museums and the Work of Photographs

'Philip Sadler’s latest book focuses on the next big global shift from scarcity to abundance - the ’post-scarcity economy’ - and its critical implications for sustainability of the planet and relief of poverty. He pulls no punches in demonstrating that so few multinational corporations, and the economists who advise them, have pursued a strategy of ’doing well by doing good’. He highlights how the economics of abundance and sustainability are in increasing conflict, in such areas as climate change, food and water shortages, and human rights. Sadler provides an excellent historical perspective coupled with a deep and thoughtful analysis of future economic trends. His challenging book should be read by all those who genuinely care about every aspect of sustainability and believe that the market cannot be relied upon to provide the planet with a safe landing.' - Professor Michael Osbaldeston, Emeritus Professor, Cranfield University School of Management, UK  'Philip Sadler excels at combining foresight with hindsight. He makes sense of all the important changes around us. He takes us into important new territory and challenges us to think systemically and laterally about the shift from scarcity to abundance.' - Mark Goyder, Founder Director, Tomorrow’s Company
