’A sympathetic but...balanced account of postwar Japanese approaches to the war in Asia...Hicks is a highly subtle master of clear writing.  He takes on this immensely complex issue and...clarifies many aspects of the relationship between postwar Japanese politics and changing Japanese perceptions of World War II, Japan’s role in it and its place in the history of the past century...Hicks makes excellent use of numerous opinion polls to gauge changing Japanese perceptions of the war and Japan’s war responsibility.’ The Journal of Asian Studies  ’...a work of painstaking scholarship and a much appreciated contribution to Japanese cultural studies and military history collections.’ The Bookwatch  ’...fascinating exposé of a controversial subject...Hicks uses the text book episode as a jumping-off point to discuss how Japan has dealt with the crimes it committed during its long war in South East Asia...he presents...arguments of these right wing revisionists carefully and dispassionately.’ Canadian Military History  ’This book focuses on the political dimensions of a peculiar silence about Japan’s participation in Asian colonization...after reading the book, one comes to the conclusion that it is not amnesia or concealment but a combination of the two which affects Japanese attitudes towards the war.’ Asian Thought and Society  ’Hicks considers the issues of war guilt or responsibility during specific postwar periods: occupation and reverse course (1945-52), through the high growth period (1952-72), during the oil shock and restabilization (1973-81), from the textbook uproar through the emperors death (1982-90) and the 1990s.’ Journal of Japanese Studies  ’This concise, chronologically organized book provides a good synthesis of existing secondary literature and clearly sets out Japan’s reexamination of her attitudes towards the Pacific War...a helpful point of entry for anyone interested in the impact and legacy of the Pacific War

"This new edition conveys the importance of a strategic approach to public human resource management as a critical element of a sustainable policy system. It appeals to a new generation of public managers, who will work with an increasingly diverse and multi-generational workforce, while navigating complex systems of multi-actor governance, the very success of which depends upon the effective management of human capital."
– Alisa Moldavanova, Wayne State University, USA
"The latest edition of this classic text offers a fresh perspective on enduring themes. Public Personnel Management maintains the focus of earlier editions, while including updated information on contemporary issues like social media and generational shifts. The expertise that these three academic leaders bring to this topic is evident throughout. Their robust treatment of personnel management makes this book required reading for students and practitioners of public administration." 　
– Heather Getha-Taylor, University of Kansas, USA
"The substantially revised 7th edition of Public Personnel Management continues to stand as THE definitive text for students, practitioners, and scholars interested in public sector human resource management. Novices will discover the book is both accessible and easy to comprehend while seasoned practitioners and scholars will find it advances a meticulously crafted, cogent framework that aptly characterizes public sector human resource management. Without a doubt, Llorens, Klingner, and Nalbandian’s book is a must read for any serious student of the topic." 
– Edmund Stazyk, University at Albany, SUNY, USA

"Ben Schneider's work places him among a handful of the most influential scholars in organizational behavior and applied psychology. From almost single-handedly launching a research stream (person-organization fit) that continues to be active today, from reconceptualizing the person "versus" situation debate in a new and constructive way, and from his prescient anticipation of multilevel models that figure so prominently in contemporary organizational behavior research, virtually every area of organizational psychology bears Schneider's mark. It is only fitting that a book by Schneider's students and colleagues would commemorate his work, and further develop some of their own important contributions that were influenced by Schneider.I highly recommend this book to anyone in organizational behavior or industrial-organizational psychology. I plan on making use of my copy for some time to come." - Timothy A. Judge, University of Florida, USA
"Ben Schneider's ASA theory of organizational dynamics is an insightful and deceptively profound alternative to the structural models of organizations provided by sociology and economics. Even better, the data show that it's true." - Robert Hogan, Hogan Assessments

'Michael J. Shapiro’s Deforming American Political Thought is committed to the transformations that concepts, practices, and media bring to those reflective sensibilities neglected by our current sciences of politics. Contrapunctal in both style and rhythm, Shapiro shows us that politics has no specific medium. By bringing to light diverse figures, objects, and voices heretofore silenced in our descriptions of American political theory, he puts to work a transversality of material cultures that partition our genres of thinking. This is interdisciplinary political theorizing at its finest.' - Davide Panagia, UCLA, USA
'Michael J. Shapiro’s Deforming American Political Thought is a masterpiece. Shapiro deploys various genres of art, various disciplines of thought and science, to reveal an America that has always been there, just beyond the ken of conventional political theory. His is a counter-history of American conventions of the political, one that shows how cultures of resistance and creative arts nurtured by minority voices find their way to the surface of our lives. He offers an alternative understanding of the American demos that challenges the conceits of the bullies of American exceptionalism, from Jefferson to the present, whether they be found in the corridors of power or corridors of colleges and universities. This isn’t so much a book to be reckoned with as it is itself a reckoning.' - Thomas Dumm, Amherst College, USA

"Each work is breathtakingly detailed, at once invoking a "simpler" time in the recent past (there are a few pop-art-ish flairs here and there that signal the decade in which the work was created). But it also tells the eternal story of NYC &mdash; that the city that never sleeps came by that name legitimately: the hustle and bustle apparent in pieces like "Wall Street and The Stock Exchange,""Mott Street &ndash; Chinatown" and "The Subway" will seem familiar to tourists and locals alike." ~MetroSouce.com"It's an excellent book for fans of all things New York." ~Newsday"This beautiful oversized reissue of the 1967 classic might just be the best value in the store right now. Full of immensely detailed line drawings reminiscent of Al Hirschfeld, you can spend an hour looking at each cityscape in the book and still find new details next time you open the book. A delight for kids and adults alike." ~Idlewild Books, New York

‘This volume describes the step-by-step process through which China opened its economy to foreign direct investment and how this investment has helped transform the economy. Using a novel combination of economic impact analysis, econometric analysis, city case studies, and corporate case studies, Professor Enright shows the massive impact that foreign direct investment has had, and continues to have, on China’s economy. This book should prove extremely useful for policy makers focused on inward investment, as well as companies wishing to make the case for their impact on host economies.’ — Karl Sauvant, Resident Senior Fellow, Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment; former Director, UNCTAD Investment Division
‘Developing China is the most comprehensive study of the role of foreign invested enterprises in China's economic transformation available. It analyzes the evolution of government policy toward foreign investment and, more importantly, provides a path breaking analysis of the contribution of foreign firms to the growth of output and employment in China.’ — Nicholas Lardy, Anthony M. Solomon Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics
‘Michael Enright forcefully assembles mountains of quantitative data and well chosen case studies to demonstrate how critical foreign investment and mulitnational companies have been to China’s meteoric rise over the past four decades. From Shanghai to Sichuan, from technology innovation to public policy to corporate social responsibility, the fingerprints of foreign businesses are everywhere. Scholars, business strategists, and policymakers interested in China’s economic transformation and the powerful role multinationals play around the world should read this book.’ — Scott Kennedy, Director of the Project on Chinese Business and Political Economy, Center for Strategic and International Studies
