'A beautifully written and fascinating account of the photographs and photographic practices related to Tutankhamun. It will be a landmark study in the relationships between archives, photographs, and archaeology.' 
--J.A. Baird, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
'Photographing Tutankhamun is a remarkable achievement for many different reasons, but it is perhaps this contribution that makes the book stand out. [...] Riggs’s ability to look across social, empirical and theoretical domains and not lose sight of the idiosyncrasies of Tutankhamun offers a valuable case study in recognising the oscillations and contingencies underpinning the work of photographs in archaeological practice.'

'Finding San Carlino adds substantially to the understanding of Borromini’s iconic masterpiece while signposting new terrain in the ever elusive phenomenal experience of geometry and proportionality.' - John Abell, Associate Professor, Architecture, Washington State University, USA'A polyhedric masterpiece scrutinized through a kaleidescopic lens.' - Joseph Connors, Professor of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University, USA‘The nuanced writing and analysis of Adil Mansure and Skender Luarasi’s Finding San Carlino offers a wealth of new insight into Borromini’s masterwork. While the book can be savoured as a fundamental historical reference, it also has a striking resonance with the deeply interwoven geometries and complex systems of today’s changing world. The writing retraces original models and drawings and combines this with acute observation of tangible spaces in the immersive interior and iconic dome exterior, and with wide-ranging examination of the philosophy, cultural history and politics surrounding the project. This generous portrait of the building evokes constantly-shifting creativity and intelligence, testifies to the fundamental depth and contemporary relevance of this extraordinary work of architecture.’ - Philip Beesley, Professor of Architecture,University of Waterloo, Canada

"This book offers a wide variety of scholarly and applied approaches that can be used for stabilizing excavations in rock masses underground and surface. The author connects the theory with practice through numerous examples involving numerical modeling, laboratory testing, and in situ experimentations. These examples are mostly based on the author's wide-ranging experience worldwide on the subject. Rich in photographs and illustrations, the book offers educational and practical outcomes that can be used by the educators. The book gives an extensive coverage of the mechanisms involved during the rock mass - support interaction process, which are demonstrated through a wide variety of case histories. Also incorporated in the book are the examples from the rock reinforcement practices presented through detailed sketches and photographs. Researchers and practitioners can benefit from the book too as a valuable supplement to their work through a wide variety of numerical and in situ modeling exercises."Ugur Ozbay, Professor at the Department of Mining Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines.

"Meetings are corporate ritual, a massive cost of time, talent and energy to any organisation. They are viral decay. This brilliant book explains how to stop viral decay, and stop it right now."

"Making Meetings Work – the Art of Chairing is an essential guide for those who wish to chair meetings where no one feels left out or their opinions unheard. Richard chairs meetings like a great maestro conducting an orchestra. At the forefront of his mind are integrity, fairness as well as diversity. I am proud to have sat at the same table as him". 
Baroness Floella Benjamin
"A decade ago Richard Hooper gave me a report on the future of the Royal Mail for the government. It was one of the best ever written. A decade later he has done it again, this time about how to make meetings shorter, more effective, more productive, and more enjoyable. What it lacks in jargon and business speak is made up for by his entertaining personal experiences and graveyard humour: the table used by the PM to chair Cabinet　 meetings in 10 Downing Street is, he is told by a civil servant, "coffin-shaped. Everyone can see everyone." There is even discussion of access to my "ministerial biscuit tin"! The book is bang up to date with a final chapter on lessons from the pandemic – how to chair meetings in the modern digital era where even the biscuits are virtual". 
Lord Peter Mandelson, Co-Founder and Chairman, Global Counsel
"[I]nspired guidance for successful meetings - essential reading for any Chair - new or experienced." 
Stephanie Liston, Chair Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority
"Richard’s book is simply excellent. It reflects the lifetime’s work and learning of one of the most accomplished Chairs I have known. He shares many of the secrets that allow for the bringing together of differing views around a table and shows how to create full support for a strategy and its implementation. I will be recommending it to all my clients." 
Stephen Bampfylde, Founder and Partner, Saxton-Bampfylde
"Hooper's mix of perceptive advice, practical tips and deep personal experience, are a must read for anyone who wants to be In The Chair, rather than simply In The Room ... a well-written tome … a well-written read." 
Stephen Carter, CEO Informa plc
"One thing in life that we always have is our experiences. Sharing those experiences with others, and the insights and learnings you make, is a gift. This book is one such gift. It contains a lifetime of chairing experiences of all shapes and sizes in a succinct delightful and practical read. Whether you are chairing a small family or team meeting, or a public sector or large global company board, this handbook is gold for anyone who wants to make meetings purposeful, effective and fun."

‘Ruth Ashbee has produced the guide that senior leaders urgently need. She manages to show both why subject-sensitivity matters and how leaders can transcend subjects to find intellectual and practical coherence. The reader is also guided through subjects’ complex relationships with changing culture, and the attendant responsibilities leaders must exercise. Thus, her respect for the truth quests and traditions of subject communities unlocks bigger educational thinking.’
Christine Counsell, Education Consultant, Trustee of David Ross Education Trust, Editor of Teaching History journal; formerly History PGCE leader, University of Cambridge and Director of Education, Inspiration Trust
‘Has there ever been an aspect of education more misunderstood, more neglected and more important than curriculum? For many years the ‘curriculum’ was broadly synonymous with the timetable and the subjects a school offered. For teachers, the job of thinking about what children would study was outsourced to exam boards and DfE documents. But times they are a-changin’. The past few years has seen many school leaders and teachers begin to come to terms with the extent of their ignorance on this most crucial aspect of children’s education and there has been an explosion of interest in curriculum thinking. In the scramble to try to work out what it means to plan, implement and evaluate a curriculum, therehas been a range of very useful books published but none are quite so coherent and useful as Ruth Ashbee’s. If you read one book on curriculum let it be this one. Curriculum offers an essential handbook for thinking about how the school subjects are organised, what makes each unique and marvellous, and how toinduct students into the wonderful business of making meaning. I have little doubt it will bestride the narrow educational world like a colossus for many years to come.’
David Didau, Education Writer and Speaker
‘The perfect antidote to the tired old generic books that focus on curriculum because of inspection or accountability, and one that will challenge and demand that senior leaders do better. Ruth Ashbee has curated a demanding curriculum for all those - and she makes clear that should be everyone in school leadership -who have a direct interest in the substance of what pupils learn in school. For teachers and leaders, this book shows Ashbee to be to curriculum what Lemov is to pedagogy and Willingham is to cognitive science. Brilliant.’

This volume provides a comprehensive coverage of the issues that need attention in Nepali higher education as it brings some of the most pressing issues that Nepali academia is facing at present. It will certainly open the conversation for further exploration. A highly resourceful book for the students, faculty and researchers interested in the issues of higher education.'- Laxmi Prasad Ojha, Doctoral Student, Minnesota State University, Mankato, USA'Higher education has played a crucial role in Nepal’s recent political and cultural transformation.

Although Neoliberalism and it's tenets have always been a dominant ideology in Nepali education, an attempt to deconstruct this dominant discourse is evident in several chapters of this book. However, issues related to economics, social justice and politics persist as do issues related to perceptions about professional development, innovation and academic research. Hence, and as mentioned by authors in this book, the need to re-evaluate issues, dilemmas and perceptions in Nepali higher education and related premises through an unconventional lens is of primary importance.' - Sapna Thapa, EdD, Associate Professor, School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Stout, USA‘A must read for anyone interested in contemporary higher education in Nepal, its role in the social transformation of the country, and importantly the challenges it faces.’- Alpa Shah, PhD, Associate Professor, PhD, Department of Anthropology, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK'This timely book provides a wide-ranging discussion of higher education in the rapidly changing context of Nepal.

"All in all, the book is an important attempt to systematically reconsider the theoretical foundations of performativity and to think through the implications of the conventionalist approach. It fits nicely with some contemporary suggestions to enrich the perspective on performativity by merging it with broader macro-sociological and political economy concerns." --&nbsp;Ivan Boldyrev, Journal of Economic Methodology
