The London Fog in British Fiction from Dickens to Woolf

The Sky of Our Manufacture

'This volume fills a major gap in the scholarly and policy literature on globalization and economic reform by inserting the Middle East squarely into contemporary debates about the political economy of development. Drawing on economic sociology's new network analysis, the contributions in this collection provide unusually subtle interpretations of the laggard patterns of economic reform and privatization in the Middle East at the beginning of the twenty-first century. At long last, students of comparative political economy will find here instructive and accessible Middle Eastern cases - including the 'success stories' of the Arab world - while students of the Middle East will encounter social science deployed to generate plausible and provocative hypotheses about the nature of power and wealth in the region. This is a welcome contribution to debate about the impetus and impediments to reform in the Middle East.' - Lisa Anderson, Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, USA

'Economic reform threatens existing economic elites, but also offers them opportunities to shape reform in their interests. This volume explores the process of reform in the Arab world, examining the role of informal networks of blood, marriage, patronage, common schooling in shaping the response of privileged groups to reform. The individual contributions offer important insights into the process of economic reform in individual countries in the Arab world, and together the contributions help to illuminate the crucial role of informal networks in economic reform in the region. The volume helps us to better understand the nexus between politics, informal ties, and economic outcomes in the Arab world.' - Michael Herb, Georgia State University, USA

It is high time for a reboot of Crimes of the Powerful and this authoritative anthology accomplishes that task. The editors have rejuvenated a text at risk of becoming criminology’s most prophetic yet esoteric treatise: the foundational and ground-breaking Marxist analysis of corporate crime. 　 
- George S. Rigakos, Professor of the Political Economy of Policing, Department of Law and Legal Studies, Carleton University, Canada
Building on the pioneering research of Frank Pearce, this timely collection demonstrates convincingly that power and crime are intimately linked. Critical, rigorous, and precise, it offers fresh ways of seeing our deeply troubled world and provides intelligent remedies for our real crime problem.

"White Racism is a bold and highly recommended text that contains many important insights toward the dismantlement of white racism." -- Philadelphia Tribune"... useful as a supplementary reading in a race relations course; it would make eye-opening reading for white students who have not thought much about racism in society or in themselves and it might stimulate dialogue between white and black students." -- Journal of American Ethnic History

"This volume is a singular achievement in its unique combination of depth and breadth. The range is dazzling and is not sacrificed for quality — the volume is exemplary for its mix of established and excellent younger scholars as well as drawing on contributors from a wide range of subjects. Although there are many collections on Hume this one really is a must."　
Aaron Garrett, Boston University, USA

‘Genre fiction, particularly but not only in English, has been growing in popularity in India. This anthology is significant and necessary . . . It maps overlaps and contrasts between genre fiction in seven major Indian languages, and well combines literary exegesis with theoretical and historical readings . . . Drawing upon both Indian and non-Indian theoretical texts, the book does not just test Western definitions of genre fiction against the hard reality to genre texts from India, it also opens up space for a re-definition of such Western perceptions . . . A pioneering study that is interesting and well-timed.’

'Jeffrey Kaplan’s discussion of how ancient groups in the Jewish, Islamic and Christian religions have utilized the apocalyptic vision and how apocalyptic thought has affected contemporary American politics including the election of Donald Trump is fascinating and provocative.'--David C. Rapoport, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), USA 

'If you are a true believer in conspiracy theories, you should not read this book - your favourite theory why the world is in such a mess and who is to blame for it might be undermined by Jeff Kaplan's detached dissection, separating facts from fantasies. His analysis of human folly and fanaticism, past and present, should be an eye opener for those who 'feel too much and understand too little', to cite a line from the author's previous book.'--Alex P. Schmid, Editor-in-Chief, Perspectives on Terrorism　
'Jeffrey Kaplan’s Apocalypse, Revolution and Terrorism is the culmination of a lifetime's worth of extraordinary scholarly achievements. At once deeply personal and meticulously annotated, this work ranges across continents and centuries to make sense of the nexus of terrorism, apocalypticism, and the revolutionary mindset. It is equally as relevant and useful for historians of the ancient and medieval world and for the contemporary policymaker.'—Randall D. Law, Birmingham-Southern College in Birmingham, Alabama, USA
