"Social platforms are here to stay, and companies that successfully leverage these platforms as part of their social strategy are more likely to achieve competitive advantage. Empirical research is needed to establish specific mechanisms behind these processes and their outcomes. Piskorski's book provides a fruitful conceptual foundation for such research."---Olga Khessina, Administrative Science Quarterly

"The Cynics, observes Usher, ‘were not scholars or writers.’ Like Jesus, Socrates or Buddha, they were ‘oralists whose memorable utterances and actions were transmitted to posterity by admirers (and detractors).’ And it’s precisely this that explains their endurance, both during and beyond their lifetime… the vivid anecdotes in which they appear have kept them not just alive, but in excellent philosophical shape."---Costica Bradatan, Times Literary Supplement

How to Say No

"[An] insightful and disturbing analysis. . . . Through his accessible presentation of recent decades of political battles over interconnected issues, such as the right’s fight for the tax-exempt status of religious schools and its pushback against the IRS’s 1971 policy that tax-exempt schools must be racially nondiscriminatory, Graetz effectively makes the case that antitaxation has been ‘the most overlooked social and political movement in recent American history.’ This is a must-read for those concerned about the U.S. economy’s growing reliance on debt."

"[A]rt is at the heart of philosophy and the fusion of the two with a range of subjects can help us better understand what makes us human. . . .Alva Noe has introduced his thesis that is bound to generate enough debate on the antidote supplied by art and philosophy that &ldquo;makes us what we are&rdquo;, a state where the people, surrounded by music, art, sculpture, poetry become creative enough to break out of the codified social organisation into a more liberated and an inspirationally fulfilling life infused with the aesthetic."---Shelley Walia, The Hindu
