McDevitt casts his net widely, taking polo, boxing, cricket and Gaelic sport as his focal points - and his range of sources is impressive. . . . An important contribution to understanding how the history of sport has reached its present situation. - Times Online "McDevitt's book is full of ideas and insights into the role of sport in imperial relations and in the construction of masculinity. It is an important contribution to the field and deserves to be widely read." - American Historical Review "McDevitt's stimulating new book, focusing on the period 1880-1935, has much of value to tell us about sports, masculinity, and their interaction with British imperialism in those heydays of empire...McDevitt writes well and certainly knows the worth of telling an anecdote. The research is impeccable, the arguments fascinating." - Journal of Modern History "McDevitt . . . deftly explores sporting practices and events between the British and their colonial subjects . . . Highly recommended." - CHOICE "A well-researched and thought-provoking book on sport in the empire." - Journal of British Studies "An admirable study of the importance of sport in the complex interaction between the British imperial metropole and its colonies." - Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History " May the Best Man Win makes a very important contribution to the historiography of British imperial sport, nationalism and masculinity. The work reflects extensive research in an impressive range of primary and secondary sources. It is elegantly written, stimulating and free of jargon. This book should be mandatory reading for all scholars with an interest in the nuances of British cultural imperialism, nationalism and masculinity." - International Journal of the History of Sport "Overall, the book is well-researched. It draws on a solid basis of scholarship, and utilizes a good range of sources from, across the empire. Patrick McDevitt analyses his material well and this generally elegantly written book is a very useful addition to the existing literature." - Sports in History "In sharing his fresh insights into class and gender, McDevitt writes with all the authority one would expect from a proper historian, but he also displays the wonderful enthusiasm of a natural play-by-play commentator. He has told a story here that is not only socially important, but very entertaining." - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of The Last American Man "Rich in historical insights, this is a polished, provocative, and and inventive analysis of sports as a cultural phenomenon. I found it absorbing from start to finish." - Joanna Bourke, Birbeck College, University of London"This book is a rare phenomenon in the new imperial history: it combines solid, original scholarship and sheer readability, resulting in a compelling and highly persuasive account of sport in the modern British empire." - Antoinette Burton, University of Illinois"There are few books that demonstrate as well as Patrick McDevitt's May the Best Man Win the range and complexity of the issues that the comparative approach allows historians to address. Drawing on superbly researched and vividly narrated case studies from sites as diverse as Ireland, the Caribbean and India, McDevitt explores the multifaceted roles that sports played in both consolidating and generating challenges to British imperial domination in the 19th and 20th centuries. His imaginative and nuanced analysis of the interaction between colonizers and colonized engaged in very different types of athletic competition provides new perspectives on some of the defining themes of modern world history, from racism and nationalism to the development of popular pastimes and the construction of manliness in divergent sociocultural settings." - Michael Adas, Rutgers University" . . . full of ideas and insights into the role of sport in imperial relations . . . It is an important contribution to the field and deserves to be widely read." - Tony Collins, De Montfort University

'This is an impressive book: carefully researched, beautifully written, and eloquently argued. It will be an important contribution to studies in Victorian women's poetry and, more generally, Victorian literature and culture.' - Dr Alison Chapman, Department of English Literature, University of Glasgow

'Acknowledging her debt to feminist scholarship on Christina Rossetti in the introduction, Mary Arseneau announces her ambition to extend and revise aspects of the Victorian poet's familial, theological and literary heritage. Recovering Christina Rossetti owes its existence to Arseneau's wish to go beyond the usual conclusion that Rossetti's expression is at its best when she challenges and transgresses the strictures and boundaries of her patriarchal religious faith.' - Elisabeth Lamothe, Cercles Reviews

'Wide-ranging and thoughtful...contributing greatly to our understanding of contemporary intra-Muslim politics.' - Karen Leonard, University of California, Irvine, USA

'A pioneering attempt to engage in a comparative study of Muslim experiences on both sides of the Atlantic.' - Ali S. Asani, Harvard University, USA

'A close reading of Cesari's book leaves the reader with a desire for more; not only regarding the many topics she discusses, but also concerning the numbers and the practical information she offers. This book deserves a future edition.' - Tirza Visser, International Journal of Public Theology

"Herreros, far more than anyone else to date, gives the concept social capital both theoretical and empirical standing. He clarifies the questions that matter, shows how we can answer them, and even answers some. This is a truly cross-national study, informed by sophisticated analytics and imaginative tests of plausible hypotheses. His most important finding is that the state fosters social capital directly through its efficacy in enforcing agreements and indirectly through its subsidies of associations. Herreros thus counters many earlier analyses of social capital and provides the basis for further theoretical and policy advance." - Margaret Levi, Jere L. Bacharach Professor of International Studies, University of Washington

"Herreros's Problem of Forming Social Capital is a well-argued analysis of the importance of trust and voluntary associations in civic life. His argument is not mine, but this is an engaging book that will make an important contribution to debates on social capital. More so than almost anyone else, Herreros presents a clear argument about the underlying mechanisms of social capital. His reasoning will play a key role in the ongoing controversy about how and whether trust and membership in civic associations make democracy work better." - Eric Uslaner, University of Maryland, College Park

"This is a brilliant book. The arguments are rigorous and sharp; the evidence, convincing; the style, incisive and witty. Herreros departs from the mainstream literature on social capital showing, first, that social trust can be explained from a rational choice perspective; and second, that the State can generate social capital. Both on theoretical and empirical grounds, the book is a major contribution to the study of social capital; it is also enjoyable to read." - José María Maravall, Juan March Institute, Madrid
