A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2011  'Geraint Howells has written a definitive account of the complex legal, moral, and public health challenges facing the tobacco industry over the past 50 years. His multi-disciplinary, detailed, and nuanced work covers a wide spectrum of issues, all addressed with the unbiased rigor of academic scholarship yet imminently accessible to a wider audience. Essential reading for anyone interested in a comprehensive analysis of one of the most vexing debates of our time.'  James Nehf, Indiana University, USA   '"The" reference book for any academic research and any political view relating to tobacco. This book is more than a challenge: it does raise, in a refreshing manner, the right questions and provides, in an elegant way, the very possible answers.' Ludovic Bernardeau, European and Comparative Law Research Center (CEJEC), France  'This book offers a balanced account of the legal, moral and public health challenges facing governmental efforts aimed at curbing tobacco consumption. Yet its merits go well beyond that of offering an objective examination and reconstruction of such a complex area of law and policy. Howells’s analysis is also refreshing, innovative and brave enough to challenge some of the main tenets of the health community’s dominant thinking... The Tobacco Challenge is a welcome contribution to today’s limited, independent academic literature on tobacco regulation. Professor Howells has succeeded in the ’mission impossible’ task of providing a nuanced account of the past, present and future of tobacco control. His is an invigorating book for all those scholars genuinely interested in tobacco regulation research but who are increasingly afraid to be either associated with the tobacco industry or of being mistaken for an anti-tobacco activist. Indeed, Professor Howells’s account shows that it is possible - despite the highly polarised debate surrounding tobacco regulation - to conduct unbiased and rig

"Anyone who cares about democracy should also care about the ways law can promote, impede, or regulate public deliberation. The Law of Deliberative Democracy is a masterful treatment of the ways in which　lawyers and deliberative democrats can learn from each other in thinking about these key issues. As such it is essential reading for those concerned with the legal and democratic underpinnings of the quality of governance in contemporary societies." 
Professor John Dryzek 
"Ultimately, however, the arguments made throughout the book are persuasive. The authors go to lengths to iterate and reiterate their arguments in engaging ways, and readers who seek to engage with the complexity of the key claims- and others interested in how law and democracy interact- should read this book."

Readings From Great Authors

"…provides a clear explanation and introduction to applied electromagnetics and optics. This very readable book begins with the foundations of the fields and then successfully covers a number of timely topics that have wide ranges of potential applications."— Michael A. Stroscio, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA"This book is well written, not overly mathematical, methodical, and combines a thorough coverage of fundamentals with up-to-date results, such as superconductors, surface waves, plasmas, photonic crystals, and negative refraction."—Michael Shur, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, USA"The book’s contents give students not only fundamental knowledge about electrodynamics, but also practical ideas for applications to device, antenna, and waveguide implementations with truly physical and electrodynamical theories. Organizing the book this way gives strong benefits to all students in wide aspects of related fields like electrical engineering and applied physics, as well as material science courses students."— Taiichi Otsuji, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan"This book is appropriate for both students as an excellent electromagnetics text and for engineers as a great reference. A rigorous mathematics presentation and thoughtful organization structure develop a step by step expertise from traditional solutions of Maxwell equations in isotropic medium, interfaces and transmission lines to advanced anisotropic, periodic and negative index materials. The book provides a unified approach to different EM and optical problems and illustrates them with many solved examples. The reader will require some knowledge of mathematics and general physics for clear understanding of the material, but as a result, will acquire confidence in understanding of this essential subject for modern engineering disciplines." — Serge Oktyabrsky, SUNY Polytechnic Institute, Utica, New York, USA"This book is comprehensiv

'This authoritative study gives us new insights on 'who gets what' in international trade decision-making and the capacity of even the politically weakest parts of the Global South to generate resistance despite the power of the transnational drug industry. The deployment of Cox's historical structures framework provides a lens to examine the role social, cultural and economic forces play in constituting and reconstituting the prevailing order.' Wyn Grant, University of Warwick. UK  'The book provide a compelling and analytically sound explanation of the powers of the transnational pharmaceutical industry in the context of international trade relations... The book is an intellectually engaging exposé of the elaborate matrix of power behind negotiations within the WTO. It provides a strategic window on how the developing world can, and should, confront the might of the transnational drug industry.' New Agenda

'This exciting study interrogates the concept of "children's literature", revealing the richness and ambiguity of Kipling's work in this genre. Sue Walsh challenges naive and simplistic assumptions about childhood, and reductive biographical approaches to children's literature. In doing so, she illuminates central issues of language, identity and interpretation.' Tess Cosslett, Lancaster University, UK  ’There is far more to the analyses presented in this book that I have space to describe...  [the book has] thought-provoking comments...  It should also be required reading for most of the authors listed in the Bibliography.’  Kipling Journal  '... a welcome addition to Kipling criticism as it challenges interpretations based solely on assumptions about the author’s views and feelings or the truthfulness of the stories, and shows that there may be other avenues worth exploring.'  International Centre for Research in Children's Literature  ’The intense focus on the relationship between Kipling’s words and his illustrations offers an invigorating topic for study. More specifically, Walsh’s responses to previous critics’ interpretation of this relationship analyse in depth tales from the Just So Stories which are not commonly afforded such attention. The particular emphasis she gives to the disparity between the aural/oral and written qualities of the tales will offer the reader a considered response to the tales. ...Her familiarity with available secondary sources reinforces her main argument, bringing an additional depth to the monograph and accentuating that this work is indeed the culmination of many years of vigorous thought.’  English Studies
