'The first truly comparative study of the forces of political and economic decision-making on the political development of the contiguous French and English-speaking countries of the Eastern Caribbean. - Vaughan Lewis, University of the West Indies, Jamaica

'A timely and important contribution to the literature on Caribbean political economy, small states, the non-independent Caribbean, and critical and comparative IPE. Matthew Bishop skilfully integrates a wide range of disparate concerns and issues into a comparative analysis of development in the Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean which forces those of us working in the broad fields of development and IPE to think afresh about the boundaries and implications of our work." - Anthony Payne, Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute, UK

"This book is a welcome addition to the literature on Caribbean development. It compares the development experience of the Francophone islands of the Eastern Caribbean which opted for decolonisation through integration with that of their English speaking counterparts which opted for political independence; located in historical analysis of their similar, yet different colonialisms and of the evolution of Caribbean development thinking. It poses challenging questions about the future of Caribbean development, integration and political affiliation." - Norman Girvan, University of the West Indies, Jamaica

'A study which is well-written, highly readable, comprehensive and successful in incorporating theoretical analysis. It is a significant contribution to the literature on small island developing states and is probably the first to examine and compare in great detail the challenges facing the polities and economies of two culturally distinct - French and English-speaking Caribbean areas. Although the author offers details on four very small states, he also succeeds in elucidating many significant issues that apply to the broader Caribbean region.' - Jacqueline Braveboy-Wagner, City University of New York, USA

Each chapter has a well-chosen focus, and together they amount to the definitive scholarly commentary on the genre and its cultural significance.

Backwoods Horror and Terror in the Wilderness

The Rural Gothic in American Popular Culture

'I found this book excellent (and I've read quite a few books on the same subject). Ian Buckingham manages to clearly explain the importance of brand engagement & employee engagement... Engaging employees to love your brand, talk about your brand and stay with your brand, is as critically important now as it ever was - particularly during these economically dynamic times...Brand Champion is well worth the read' Stephanie Lunn, international HR executive

'What makes Brand Champions a recommended read is the richness of material on 'how' to build brand enthusiasm. Original cases (from Barbour to British Gas) make a refreshing change from the usual 'cool brand' suspects. There's a treasure trove of tools for you to raid from 'brand superheroes' to 'brand eisteddfods' anything that links individual contribution to bigger brand purpose is to be warmly welcomed.' B2B Marketing Website

'Buckingham is one of the few business writers to span the territories of HR as well as the more external facing disciplines like Advertising and Marketing, consistently arguing the case for a joined-up approach to brand management. His style is always provocative but enjoyable and ultimately thought provoking in a Handy-esque way. His examples are often drawn from the UK, which makes a welcome change from many US-centric commentators, and the conclusions he points the reader towards and approaches he suggests are certainly applicable internationally. We've made very effective use of his thinking and methods throughout our network of global offices.' J. Sanderson, Senior Brand Manager, International HealthCare Company

'With Brand Champions, as with Brand Engagement and his work in general, Ian once again shows that branding is not about large budgets but small consistent actions, branding is not about logos but about people, that branding does not belong to marketing, it belongs to each of us in our everyday actions. Brand champions are right before our eyes if only we look.' Anna Farmery, Managing Director, The Engaging Brand, www.facebook.com/l/944e3Gvin8p_lDCnWJbe4Z1B2Qg;www.theengagingbrand.com

'Insightful . . . finally a book that exposes the real brand champions within our organizations and deftly guides managers on how to nurture and challenge those employees. With case studies to illustrate, Buckingham uncovers what is needed to create a committed culture of empowered and engaged employees ready to achieve a higher level of performance. As with his last book, this is a must read for any manager.' Maryanna Kontaratos, international HR, employee engagement and brand specialist

Reconstruction or Erosion of Justice Systems - Case Study and Suggested Solution

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Justice Systems

The Difference Engine

"The financial crisis has brought about a great deal of reflection, about the efficiency of markets, the effectiveness of governments in smoothing economic cycles, and the ability and willingness of profit-oriented actors to police themselves. Cliques and Capitalism contributes to this reflection by thoughtfully critiquing the American model of corporate governance: Did it contribute to the crisis? Has it outlived its usefulness? Is the worst yet to come? de Lange suggests yes, yes, and perhaps yes. Drawing on theory and a variety of practices from around the world, she also proposes a 'sustainable' model of corporate governance that might avert future problems. But can we get from here to there?" - Olav Sorenson, Professor, Yale School of Management

''Too big to fail' became the mantra of the recent financial crises on Wall Street. But de Lange's analysis in this book shows that the problems go much deeper. Using support from a variety of academic theories, and grounding her work in the practical realities of toady's model of the firm, she points out that American capitalism has systemic problems that won't go away easily. She is not afraid to gore some sacred cows, most notably that the democratization of markets is a myth as real power is held by what she calls a 'stock market bureaucracy.' And she is not afraid to offer solutions to this problem by outlining a sustainable model of the firm that is stakeholder and network oriented. This book is a valuable contribution for those that care about an American capitalism that is sustainable for the long term.' - Andrew J. Hoffman, Holcim (US) Professor of Sustainable Enterprise, University of Michigan

"This book represents a masterful weaving together of theory and practice, international management and strategic management, corporate governance, network analysis and sustainability, as well as case studies. Readers - researchers, students, and practitioners - interested in understanding the modern corporation will love this book. The author's international management experience and academic background bring a unique and timely perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of large corporations and how to make them work better for all stakeholders." - Avner Ben-Ner, professor, Center for Human Resources and Labor Studies, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota and Affiliated Professor, University of Minnesota Law School

'This is a highly original and very thoughtful book. Anybody interested in political equality will have to read, indeed study, this book.' - Amitai Etzioni, author of The New Golden Rule 
'Roscoe provides a careful examination of the contested meaning of equality in American politics.' - David C. Kimball, Professor of Political Science, University of Missouri St. Louis

'In the wake of the 2016 election, as well as a host of other big changes, many have begun to explore America's democratic character. Roscoe's new book merges notions of equality and the actual operation of government into a novel, important analysis. His finding -- that there is a balancing act among competing values -- will advance the conversation. This is a must-read volume for budding students of contemporary American politics.' - Daniel M. Shea, Colby College

A Practical Treatise Of Painful Distempers

'Monika Kostera has completed an extensive book project of not only one edited volume but altogether three volumes in her trilogy on organizational myths, epics and sagas...[she] has succeeded very well in this endeavor: the trilogy reflects her genuine insights and extensive experience in this field of research. It was a pleasure to read chapters that addressed the themes from many versatile angles yet created a consistent whole, written by authors from many different nationalities and backgrounds...These books are recommended reading for those already familiar with organizational myths and metaphors, but are also very accessible for those less familiar with the mythical side of organizational life. In fact, one wishes that many mainstream management courses, with prevalent modernistic assumptions of rationality and linearity, inherent in mainstream business studies, would include one of these books in their reading list to broaden students' horizons and generate a deeper understanding of the complexities of organizational life.' - Scandinavian Journal of Management
