'Academically , Land Expropriation in Israel is important for two reasons. The first is its conclusion, drawn from previously overlooked quarters, that "the Jewish-Arab land struggle shaped the court's approach to property rights, not only in areas of high political and national tension such as Jerusalem and the Galilee, but created the pattern for expropriation adjudication throughout the country". The second is its conclusion "that the supreme court's considerable self-restraint...had not only its intended effect on land ownership in the Arab sector, but also an unintended parallel effect on the legal treatment of private land ownership and land expropriation in the Jewish sector". Scholarship has hitherto not addressed this dynamic, and this finding contributes to a more complete and nuanced understanding of the history of Israeli land-taking law.' Journal of Palestine Studies   'A very useful analysis of the history and sociology of Israeli land law. Crucial for students of state and nation building, of ideology and utopia and of the intersection between the Jewish and the Palestinian refugee problems in post 1948 Israel.'  Pnina Lahav, Boston University School of Law, USA  'This is a deeply researched and carefully written case-study of law, politics, and land policy in Israel, especially land expropriation policy. Dr. Holzman-Gazit's book is important not only for those who are interested in the history of Israel, and those more generally concerned with unraveling the tangled skein of middle-eastern politics; it is also a dispassionate, insightful and illuminating exploration of the relationship between legal and political institutions, and the power and non-power of courts to affect policy in the modern world. Lawrence M. Friedman, Stanford Law School, USA.  'This is a first-rate study which places Israel's land expropriation laws in their political, social and cultural contexts. Holzman-Gazit provides a rich, lucid and non-partisan interpretation of the rela

'The book is handsomely researched, written, documented, and organized... Curran negotiates the uneven terrain comprising literary analysis, social history, and theater-performance studies very well, sensibly focusing on the masques themselves in his attempt to make them living texts for us.' Seventeenth-Century News  'In Marriage, Performance, and Politics at the Jacobean Court, Kevin Curran gives an account of his rhetorical topic that will be valued by anyone interested in the Stuart masque and in the changing language of politics in James's reign.' Sixteenth Century Journal  'This book takes us through a lively, ideologically complex period of Jacobean history, offering fine-grained close readings of entertainment texts and thoughtful considerations of how national and international political factionalism, influential courtiers and the Elizabethan iconographical and political inheritance all contributed to shaping the Jacobean marriage masque.' Review of English Studies  '... an excellent study of a major dramatic genre.' Notes and Queries

'In this important book, Marques deftly reveals the mechanisms through which social networks contribute to the reproduction and the amelioration of poverty. Combining a deep knowledge of social theory with powerful analytical tools, the book has major implications for breaking the cycle of poverty in Brazil and throughout the world.'  Chris Ansell, University of California, Berkeley, United States  'Marques has produced a groundbreaking study that eschews simple assumptions about social capital, instead revealing how networks actually function and how the poor and non-poor, in distinct areas of a mega-city, use them to accomplish important tasks. Methodologically innovative, the book not only advances our understanding of how and why networks matter but also lays new foundations for creative research, policy and program design. Required reading.'  Xavier de Souza Briggs, MIT, USA  '... a reference work not only for what it offers in terms of understanding the mechanisms of poverty (re)production in large metropolises, but also because of the compelling research agenda that it establishes for the future.' Brazilian Political Science Review  '... this is an impressive scholarly work with original research on an important topic of urban and social policy. Marques makes a strong case for a consideration of the range of social networks and the degree of residential isolation in assessing individual prospects for ameliorating poverty... Given its theoretical clarity and methodological creativity, I recommend this book for those interested in understanding the local forces shaping poverty and its possible amelioration, both in urban Brazil and in cities elsewhere in the world.'

’Booker discusses a wealth of information about costs, shipping, ports, lazarets, traders, politicians and officials - a great deal of it accumulated by meticulous archival research. This book will long stand as a major work of reference in a field which the author has unquestionably made his own.’ Social History of Medicine  ’Using a wealth of archival research in Britain, Malta and Marseilles John Booker has produced an exhaustive account, and one that will be a remarkable resource for those interested in all aspects of maritime quarantine... It is likely that this book will serve as the standard account of quarantine for some time to come.’ The Mariner's Mirror  ’... Booker has assembled a clear, encyclopaedic and well-indexed narrative that will be a valuable reference work for specialists in the history of public medicine and the fascinating subject of maritime quarantine.’ International Journal of Maritime History  ’... the subject of maritime history has been thoroughly unpacked by Booker, and his findings should find their way into numerous relevant historical fields.’ Journal British Studies  ’S’appuyant sur une importante masse d’archives, John Booker apporte un éclairage plutÃ´t complet sur ce thème si controversé de la politique britannique et de l’histoire marchande...’ Annales de Démographie Historique
