"Barbara Norrander’s new edition of The Imperfect Primary confirms the book’s status as the first place to look for anyone wanting to understand the complex and often arcane process used to nominate American presidential candidates. It provides a lucid, thorough, and concise account of the system’s origins, current configuration, and strengths and weaknesses as a way of selecting national leaders. This new edition will serve as an authoritative guide for students and others who want to follow the action heading into the 2020 election."—Gary Jacobson, University of California—San Diego

"Barbara Norrander’s updated edition of The Imperfect Primary is an eminently readable and authoritative book on the presidential nomination process.The Imperfect Primary is an excellent book for the politically engaged reader as well as for the reader looking for a place to begin to understand the process by which the major political parties select their presidential nominees. The book takes readers through a concise history of the evolution of the process, the kinds of candidates who run, the signaling that goes on among party elites and aligned groups, how money and media influence the campaign, as well as astutely covering how the rules and the primary calendar affect candidates and the selection of the eventual nominee. The Imperfect Primary frames these topics as problems to be solved with discussion of the pros and cons of aspects of the process. It serves as an authoritative resource for students and is framed in a way that is excellent for generating discussion as we approach the 2020 nomination cycle." —Wayne Steger, DePaul University

"Scholarly work on the Peloponnesian city-state of Elis has made significant progress in the last two decades or so, and an English introduction to this important subject has been a real desideratum for long. Graeme Bourke now provides this much-needed introduction, discussing among other things such topics as the political history – including the synoecism – of Elis, its administration of the great sanctuary at Olympia and its relations with foreign powers, Sparta in particular, in a clear and accessible style. Students of ancient Greek history, Classics, Greek archaeology and Greek religion will find much to interest them in this wide-ranging monograph."- Thomas Heine Nielsen, The Saxo Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark"Bourke’s study usefully surveys the landmarks of Eleian history. Those readers who lamented the absence of a monograph on Elis in an earlier tradition of epichoric synthesis will find this treatment repairs the gap."- Ben Brown, University of Sydney, Australia, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2019"The book is well produced and clearly written ... Bourke is successful in bringing together relevant international secondary literature and making it accessible to an English-speaking readership, and some of his most challenging conclusions (most notably his hypothesis about the Omphalionids) will certainly spur scholarly debate. For these reasons, the book will be beneficial to any scholars interested in the history of Elea and the Peloponnese."- Matteo Barbato, University of Edinburgh, UK, Classical Review 2018"Bourke provides a number of insights ... A must purchase for research libraries."- J.L. Miller, SUNY College at New Paltz, USA, CHOICE Reviews 2019

"At last, a careful look at the linkages between migration and environmental change in modern history! With an admirably international set of authors, this collection ranges far and wide, both geographically and conceptually. It should be a landmark in both global environmental history and the history of migration." — J.R. McNeill, Georgetown University, USA
"All too often, studies that claim to be ground-breaking fail to live up to the brag. This stimulating and very timely collection of essays exploring the multiple and complex connections between human migration and biophysical environments represents a refreshing exception. In a study that is politically committed to the cause of socio-environmental justice as well as intellectually innovative, the authors engage with key notions such as corporeal ecology, environmental nativism, nativist environmentalism and the environmental refugee/migrant. Editors Marco Armiero and Richard Tucker, who remind us that ‘migrants are themselves nature on the move’, are to be congratulated for launching a new research area within environmental history of urgent contemporary importance internationally."— Peter Coates, University of Bristol, UK
"This innovative and timely volume will surely change the way we think about the history of immigration. As these essays show, modern migrations are not only a social and political processes; they also have important environmental dimensions. Covering a wide geographic range—from Polynesia to Siberia, from Brazil to China, the authors lay the groundwork for a new research agenda." — Linda Nash, University of Washington, USA
"The editors have assembled an innovative group of contributors who challenge scholars of migration and environmental studies to develop a new analytical lens—one that posits mobile humans as part of nature and nature as constitutive of mobile cultures and societies. A must-read." — Donna Gabaccia, University of Toronto, Canada
