"Penzler takes what is arguably the best part of crime and mystery novels--the villains--and packs them into an encyclopedic anthology that manages to cover both Dracula and Dr. Fu Manchu. To be read through a monocle and with a sinister sneer." --The New York Times Book Review"Rogues and Villains&#160;is a treasure chest of delightful discoveries." --The Seattle Times "The Big Book of Rogues and Villains&#160;is stalked by a cast of the deviant crooks, creeps, criminals and con men." --Los Angeles Times

"Developing a basic modeling strategy that researchers can follow to investigate multilevel data structures can be challenging. Heck and Thomas have once again presented a must-have reference book to get the job done. This edition’s use of four different software packages and additional easy-to-follow illustrative examples enhance what was already a superb resource for both students and researchers." – George A.

"Food, Culture, and Survival in an African City presents an illuminating account of the dynamics of poverty and survival strategies in urban Africa. Using variables like culture, race, class and gender, Flynn explores how people negotiate life and survival in a poverty stricken environment. This is an excellent work that examines people's lives in urban Africa in the era of globalization and social and economic crisis. It is a must read book in contemporary urban african studies." - Joe Lugalla, University of New Hampshire

"Karen Coen Flynn's Food, Culture, and Survival in the African City uses 10 months of in-depth ethnographic research in Mwanza, Tanzania to uncover the complex ways people gain access to food and the multiple reasons why they go hungry. In her path-breaking urban research, she interviews over three hundred city dwellers including street adults and children, urban farmers, market vendors, and men and women from diverse ethnic and class groups to explore how income, gender, age, and charity affect their survival. Flynn makes an invaluable contribution to the history of modern Africa, to food studies, and to policy-making in this clearly written and richly detailed book about the ethical and economic costs of hunger and inequality." - Carole Counihan

"[This book] is original in the sense that it focuses on consumption itself: not just on the dynamics of supply into markets. Flynn is able to look both qualitatively and quantitatively at what 'food' is to various subsections of the urban population...[it] will certainly be a contribution to the field." - Jane I. Guyer, Johns Hopkins University

"I enjoyed reading　Execution by Family: A Theory of Honor Violence. Cooney’s discussion of the different social conditions in which family honor takes place and when women are more (or less) at risk of family violence was illuminating. His discussion of women’s relationships, closeness, social distance and social time brought home the challenges many women face. All too often, women do not command the influence of other important figures in the family in order to secure their safety because they are socially inferior and experience inequalities – their ‘transgressions’ are then considered too ‘dishonorable’ and very few are able to defend them. Overall, this is a very useful book for anybody who is interested in the study of family honor violence".

A Theory of Honor Violence

Execution by Family

Shedding valuable light on the shady world of covert state support for rebel groups, this book makes a major contribution to the open-polity perspective on civil war. With admirable conceptual clarity and analytical precision, Belgin San-Akca shows that transnational conflict patterns cannot be reduced to rebels opportunistic exploitation of state weakness or simple models of proxy warfare. Instead,
