"In a field denounced for its ahistorical disposition, Foundations of Public Service, Third Editionmakes a welcome and much needed contribution. The authors provide a comprehensive discussion of public administration dating back to early years of the republic, provide students with compelling cases and frameworks for understanding the complexity of their constitutional, political and ethical responsibilities and their vital roles in governance."
Jennifer Alexander, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA

“Foundations of Public Service remains the richest, most complete treatment of the distinctive role of public administration as a core institution of the American republic and the essential contribution of each public administrator to fulfilling that role. The increased emphasis in the new edition on local governance and prudential administrative practice bolsters the book’s value in demonstrating this role.” 
Brian J. Cook, Virginia Tech University, USA 
“Foundations of Public Service (3rd Edition) is a must-read book for anyone concerned with issues of management in the 21st century. Of particular note are the very intriguing  and practical real-world case studies that create a meaningful and long-lasting way for the reader to digest each situation. I highly recommend this book for students, faculty and administrators.” 
Richard Greggory Johnson III, University of San Francisco, USA 
“This book is a gem. The insights and expert advice on how to be a public servant leader in turbulent times are relevant to those who seek to be caring stewards and changemakers at all levels of government. New sections on leading at the local government level make it an especially valuable public affairs textbook.” 
Rosemary O’Leary, University of Kansas, USA 
"This foundational text is the perfect blend of theory and practice. It provides experienced practitioners with core administrative concepts and principles that enable them to address today’s public administration challenges. It provides both old hands and newcomers to public service with a deep historical and institutional understanding of the important role of public administration in democratic governance."
Meta Loftsgaarden, Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, USA

"Designing Liners was the first study of ocean liner interior design. This revised edition adds detailed analysis of the glamorous, nostalgic interiors designed for today’s giant cruise ships while also considering growing concerns over the environmental impact of these behemoths and anticipating their future in an age of pandemic. It remains the definitive study of passenger ship interiors."

Dr Gregory Votolato, Victoria & Albert Museum and Royal College of Art

"Wonderful to see this seminal text in its second edition; updates on enduring popular fascination with ocean liners and the current compelling discussion of the cruise industry."

In today’s world, we need faith, but one that is grounded in the essential mysteries that mark the human journey. In this volume, Waitz and Tisdale make a plea for the place of the inexplicable in both psychoanalysis and religion, inviting a reading of each that advocates for, not knowledge, but rather a learning that can continue to enrich our lives and spirits rather than closing down possibilities. For those attempting to move beyond pleasure and fear towards an ethic of personal responsibility, this is an important volume.

In the Orthodox Christian world, psychoanalysis and psychotherapy have been met with suspicion, even prompting some theologians to invent a distinctive form of "Orthodox psychotherapy."　 This book provides an excellent introduction to Lacanian psychoanalysis, which is then brought into dialogue with Orthodox anthropology.　 The result is an authentic engagement that avoids reductionisms and mutual exclusivities.　 The authors succeed in demonstrating how theological anthropology could benefit from psychoanalysis, and vice versa.　 A must read for all interested in what it means to be human.

Co-founding Director, Orthodox Christian Studies Center

Waitz and Tisdale make a significant contribution to the dialogue between Lacanian psychoanalysis and Eastern Orthodox theology. The reader will not only find a lucid and competent introduction to the often impenetrable writings of Lacan, but also an original comparison between these two very disparate traditions. Lacanian Psychoanalysis and Eastern Orthodox Christian Anthropology will set the standard for any future research in this field. Drawing on major Orthodox figures such as Christos Yannaras, the authors establish astonishing affinities between Eastern Orthodox thought and Lacanian psychoanalysis. This intellectually bold and stimulating monograph will enrich and challenge both Orthodox theology and Lacan scholarship. Some of the views expressed in the book will not remain uncontested. But it will undoubtedly stimulate discussion and provoke further debate about this topic.

Barriers down is a well-timed work of great relevance to historians, political scientists and policy-makers aiming to understand the connection between information infrastructure and geopolitics. Lemberg’s study represents a rigorous, interdisciplinary approach to a critical, ongoing policy discussion and will endure as perhaps the go-to tale of how truly global media came to be.

From the reviews:“The research monography introduces the abstract workflow description language, shortly AWDL … . The research community involved in workflow technologies will find in this book an excellent overview of the current state of the art the field … . Scientists from various research fields will find in the book several well described examples of scientific workflows to be followed. … the book can be used as a guide for AWDL in practical lessons about workflow technologies at undergraduate or graduate studies in distributed computing.” (Dana Petcu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1252, 2012)

Early evolutionists saw nature and survival as brutal. Affection and romantic bonds, which arguably played an equal part in human survival, are usually dismissed or limited to facilitating reproduction and parenting. Without the limiting lens of seeing bonds solely in terms of sex acts and reproduction, this elegantly written book finally restores same-sex bonds and sex to our understanding of the roles of culture and society in evolution. It is an overdue and rewarding reconceptualization.　

Michael Ross, University of Minnesota Medical School, USA

　
Dr. Michael Kauth provides an integrated interdisciplinary account of the origin, function, and history of human mating pair-bonds and devoted same-sex friendships, including those that involved sexual intimacy, across history and cultures. His meticulous and well-reasoned analysis leads to the surprising conclusion that sexual attraction is central to both reproduction and friendship.　

William Byne, Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, USA; and Editor-in-Chief, LGBT Health

　
How did human pair bonds evolve? Why is human friendship so pervasive for H. Sapiens Sapiens? In this intriguing book, Dr. Kauth suggests a great capacity for sexual variation across all human populations. He explores how "devoted friendships," understood in cultural context, reveal specific functions of male alliances for adaptation and survival. Dr. Kauth appeals to future sex researchers to frame their work within historical and cultural context.

"An ideal curriculum textbook, Proofs 101: An Introduction to Formal Mathematics is exceptionally well organized and presented. A core and essential addition to college and university library Mathematics collections"– Midwest Book Review
" I wished I had Proofs 101: An Introduction to Formal Mathematics as a textbook when I was a student!"– Luise-Charlotte Kappe, Professor Emerita, Binghamton University



"As undergraduate students mature in their study of mathematics, they face learning the writing of proofs. From his extensive classroom experience, Kirtland has fashioned a guide to these new levels of maturity. This book presents a carefully constructed tour whose sights include the foundations and most useful techniques of proof, as well as visits to the houses of number theory and set theory where these methods support results. The presentation is conversational, like a good proof can be, and focuses on what proofs reveal instead of the mechanics of writing them.
Students can develop as mathematicians with this book as a guide."– John McCleary, Vassar College

"I greatly enjoy the way that the author speaks so directly and freely to the reader (student). The text does a good job of taking hard mathematical concepts and making them into bite-size, easy to digest pieces of information whose purpose and uses are explicitly stated. I also appreciate how the author warns the reader about common misconceptions rather than leading them into a trap through a contrived example. This book not only goes through all of the information and definitions one would need to write a clear and concise statement or proof in mathematics, but also explains the reasoning behind why it's important to do so. It’s an excellent introduction to higher-level mathematical thinking and writing." – Jennifer Crodelle, Middlebury College

Back From The Brink

&ldquo;A scathing indictment . . . [A] tour de force of historical excavation . . . Offering numerous correctives to Whitewashed history, the author mounts potent attacks against the egregious actions of vaunted figures. . . . [Legacy of Violence is] top-shelf history offering tremendous acknowledgement of past systemic abuses.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)&ldquo;[Elkins&rsquo;] detailed description of British policy and actions in Ireland, India, Malaya, Cyprus, Kenya, Nyasaland, Jamaica, and Palestine makes for unsettling, yet necessary reading. . . . Thoroughly researched and presented in scrupulous detail, this tale of 'legalized violence,' founded on a racism not even thinly disguised, is a must-read for serious students of history.&rdquo;&mdash;David Keymer, Library Journal (starred review)&ldquo;Deeply researched . . . Legacy of Violence does not stint on detail. . . . Yet&#160;Elkins wears her considerable learning lightly, and is wise enough to allow her considerable anger to smoulder, rather than burn from the pages, making for a powerful, compelling read. . . .&#160;The book opens up ground for a wider debate on the factors that shaped the three centuries of British global empire.&rdquo;&mdash;Rana Mitter, Financial Times&ldquo;Shocking, meticulous detail . . . Persuasive . . . Legacy of Violence is a formidable piece of research that sets itself the ambition of identifying the character of British power over the course of two centuries and four continents. . . . In many ways, of course, this long history could not be more timely. Elkins offers an open and shut case for those who believe that Rhodes must fall. Her book should, you hope, also find its way into the hands of at least some of that 60% of [the United Kingdom] who, when polled in 2014, thought the British empire was, in general, &lsquo;something to be proud of.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;Tim Adams, The Guardian&ldquo;&lsquo;All empires are violent,&rsquo; Caroline Elkins observes in this masterful, crucial study, but Britain&rsquo;s only became more violent over time, even as it touted its liberalism. Legacy of Violence is as unflinching as it is gripping, as carefully researched as it is urgently necessary.&rdquo; &mdash;Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States&ldquo;Caroline Elkins has written the history of the British Empire that we desperately need today. Drawing on recently-disclosed documents, Legacy of Violence catalogues how, time after time, in place after place, British authorities brutally repressed dissent under the cover of laws justifying the use of force. Sweeping, forceful, and passionately argued, it is a definitive rejoinder to persistent myths of liberal benevolence. A monumental achievement.&rdquo; &mdash;Maya Jasanoff, author of The Dawn Watch: Joseph Conrad in a Global World&ldquo;Elkins&rsquo;s intricate but immersive account is a feat of scholarship that elucidates the bureaucratic and legal machinery of oppression, dissects the intellectual justifications for it, and explores in gripping, sometimes grisly detail the suffering that resulted. The result is a forceful challenge to recent historiographical and political defenses of British exceptionalism that punctures myths of paternalism and progress.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;In nothing was the British Empire more successful than its skillful concealment of the violence that it unleashed across the globe, over centuries. Caroline Elkins' Legacy of Violence is a laudably ambitious attempt at unearthing this hidden legacy, the bitter fruits of which are becoming more and more visible every day.&rdquo; &mdash;Amitav Ghosh, author of The Nutmeg&rsquo;s Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis&ldquo;Legacy of Violence is a clear, incisive account of the way in which the British maintained public order in the colonies through &lsquo;lawful lawlessness&rsquo;&mdash;in other words, ways in which acts of repression and cruelty were shielded from the public and Parliament by ingenious methods of apparent yet dubious legality. Based on records in Asia and Africa as well as documents in western archives, the research is compelling and persuasive. This is an exceedingly valuable book on the dark side of the British Empire.&rdquo; &mdash;Wm. Roger Louis, Editor-in-Chief of Oxford History of the British Empire&ldquo;Once again, Caroline Elkins&rsquo; fearless brilliance and prodigious skill in the historical craft bring us to a point of no return in understanding the history of the British empire. Legacy of Violence is a gripping, richly peopled, epic narrative of the systematic perversion of the rule of law whose spread the empire claimed as its legitimizing purpose. In stunning prose and drawing on staggering research, Elkins uncovers the reality of routine and ruthlessly violent suspension of law and militarized policing as imperial personnel and practices moved from crisis to crisis around the globe.&rdquo; &mdash;Priya Satia, author of Time's Monster: How History Makes History&ldquo;Elkins explores in this sparkling and troubling book how the long history of ruthless violence in the British Empire was entangled with liberal ideology. Liberal goals justified conquest and repression, and came repeatedly to justify 'legalized lawlessness' from India to Jamaica, Ireland, Palestine, Malaya and Kenya. She shows, further, how this history of colonial terror was suppressed by the destruction of archives and by the manipulation of the historical record by those who wish the national past to be a flattering mirror.&rdquo; &mdash;Richard Drayton, author of Nature&rsquo;s Government
