'Ranging widely over Conrad’s canon and generously interpreting "performance" to include displays of political power, this provocative collection of essays stylishly opens swathes of new territory in the field of Conrad studies. Alert to how popular culture enriches high art, this well-edited collection is required reading for anyone with an interest not only in Conrad but also in the literary achievements and trends of the late-Victorian and Modernist periods'. J. H. Stape, St Mary’s University College, London, and author of The Several Lives of Joseph Conrad  ’...an excellent collection: eight original and thought-provoking articles remind the reader how much Conrad absorbed from the performing arts of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Opera, theatre, cinema, shadowgraphy - the collaborative or competing influence of all of these very different branches of the performing arts can be traced in Conrad's fiction.’  New Books on Literature   'Joseph Conrad and the Performing Arts opens up a great deal of new ground for Conradians as well as Victorian and modernist scholars more generally. And should it come their way, the volume will also prove intriguing to media studies scholars who may be surprised to learn that such a canonical literary figure as Conrad engaged so actively with the popular media of his day.'

'This book’s thick-textured narrative, abounding with theory and informed by a wealth of current and contemporary source material, will please specialist readers... Highly recommended.' Choice 
'Costello’s monograph has real virtues. As one would expect from an account of Turner’s ’historical’ subjects, the author is as deft at binding Turner’s pictorial account into what was recorded of the actual sequences of events, and he is very good at working sequences of drawings into discussions of the geneses of particular paintings. Indeed, he is exceptionally good at writing about pictures. He looks closely, is alert to what he sees, and is acutely aware of what paint surfaces can communicate. Likewise, his account of Turner at the Royal Academy’s Varnishing Days is terrific, communicating a real understanding of what the very existence of this element of the academic calendar meant more generally within the history of early nineteenth-century British art.' The Burlington Magazine 
'One of the most impressive pieces of Turner criticism to have been published for several years.' Turner Society News 
'... impressively researched ... Instead of the transcendent sublime it repeatedly directs attention to the dark underbelly of violence, disintegration, decomposition, and destruction in Turner’s creative process as well as in the reception of his works.' Wordsworth Circle 
'Costello is a sensitive interpreter of Turner's paintings, and many of the finest moments in the book are those in which the author looks closely and hard at the individual images ... he provides a compelling account of why they continue to haunt us.' Victorian Studies

’For too long, the world of transport planning, policy and analysis has been dominated by what happens in the USA or UK and the geographical lop-sidedness is compounded by an emphasis on methodology, car traffic, infrastructure and the possibilities around modal shift. This is very worthy but the world is richer and more diverse than this menu suggests. This book about matatu minibuses in Kenya is therefore a breath of fresh air which takes us all into a new dimension of thinking. What is the matatu? How does it work? Why does it straddle legality and illegality? How does it relate to the world of regulated, orderly public transport? This book explores all these questions and much more and is a most welcome piece of work. We need more of this freshness and vigour in transport writing and a deeper understanding of the social and economic circumstances that bring transport services to people who need them in parts of the world that are not yet colonized by global bus or train companies. The authors are to be congratulated and I hope others will follow suit.’ John Whitelegg, Stockholm Environment Institute, York University, UK  ’Drawing on qualitative and political economy frameworks, the authors take a holistic approach to studying matatu entrepreneurship as a self-organizing industry with a distinctive culture and strategy. A timely study which those interested in business in the new Africa will find useful.’ Kenda Mutongi, Williams College, USA

"This collection is an extension of such works and can be viewed as a series of illustrative case studies that will engage with and inform students, early-career researchers, geographers and historians alike about the possibilities of think-ing geographically about the multitudinous ways of making, circulating and displaying global knowledge in the nineteenth century. In its focus on books, pictures, pamphlets and models as objects involved in the circulation of scientiﬁc knowledge, this volume also offers a counterpoint to the burgeoning literature on the mobility of scientiﬁc instruments".Matthew Goodman, University of Glasgow, Historical Geography 
"[T]his group of authors give readers a variety of tools with which to think through precisely what ‘global’ can mean in historical analysis. The variety of methodologies expertly employed is refreshing and makes the collection a useful primer for students but also an, instructive resource for experts in any of the ﬁelds included. It is a self-aware collection determined to provoke questions and un-dermine assumptions about how knowledge is formed across boundaries, a goal it achieves admirably."Katherine Parker Hakluyt Society, UK, Journal of Historical Geography

’For decades, land reform consultants visited developing countries to shop around with uniform and rather technical schemes to improve agrarian production by means of private ownership and western registration of title. The string of failures of this recipe shocked the author of this book, himself a life long expert in land title registration. His practical mind and his deep concern for the poor urged him to completely rethink land reform, by taking local variety of tenure, including communal (customary) tenure, as a starting point and by going for flexible approaches.  The book shows a happy combination of concern, practical experience and scholarly debate, mixed together to show us how land tenure, law and registration can better meet the great challenge of today, finding news ways to promote food security for the poor.’ A.J. Hoekema, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands  ’Dekker provides a comprehensive treatment of one of the most controversial topics in the literature on socioeconomic development-land reform. It is important reading for anyone concerned with issues of equity and economic efficiency in development. Those overly enthusiastic about the promise of land reform will be sobered by the reality of past failures. However, those who see no need to promote broad-based socioeconomic development will find their beliefs challenged. Dekker provides a refreshingly even handed and balanced approach.’ Professor Stanley R. Thompson, Ohio State University, USA  ’...the most comprehensive treatise of various aspects of land tenure, land reform and land registration available...the book is written clearly and comprehensively...a welcome addition with a great deal of information on a subject that is very important although many people are unfamiliar with it...it is a fine book and will hopefully be widely distributed and read by many people.’  Quarterly Journal of International Agriculture  ’Though its breadth and analysis make it valuable to anyone inte
