'Paul Wilkinson has been saying challenging things about terrorism and the liberal state for over thirty years.In the era of the so-called "war on terror" his perspective on the subject is more important than ever. This book deserves to be widely read: its message on the need for respect for human rights is a vital one in these security-oriented days.' -Professor Conor Gearty, Rausing Director, Centre for the Study of Human Rights, LSE
'From one of the founding fathers of terrorism studies, an urgent and necessary reminder of that which we must hold dear in combating all forms of terrorism. Paul Wilkinson understands the vital lessons to be learned from responding to terrorism, and this updated edition of his landmark book is absolutely essential reading.'- Dr John Horgan, University of St Andrews

‘This is a well-argued, balanced book on a subject where sound judgement is often lacking. Professor Wilkinson, one of the leading authorities on the subject of terrorism, discusses both the terrorist threat and the appropriateness of military, legal and diplomatic responses with clarity and persuasion. This book is an important addition to the literature on terrorism and deserves to be widely read.’ -Dr Alex Schmid, Terrorism Research Initiative, Vienna
Wilkinson's second editionis not just an eloquently written and challenging read, it is also a comprehensive resource on Global Terrorism. - Romeike
'...an exceptionally impressive book'- Aaron Edwards, Political Studies Review
'Readers will benefit greatly from[Wilkinson's] deep expertise on terrorism... Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readership levels.'-J. S. Holmes, CHOICE (February 2012)

’... the entire collection is characterised by a high level of quality (not always a given with these types of enterprises). The range of contributions from the history of economic thought, to rural development, to tariff policy, to the financing of water management projects, to the financing of long distance trading ventures, offers the reader a comprehensive look at the political economy of the Dutch Republic.’ Itinerario  ’This long-awaited volume should be a starting point for anyone who requires a grounding in the fiscal history of the Dutch Republic. ... The result is that rare collection of essays that delivers far more than it promises.’ EH.NET  '[The volume's] contributors and editor are to be applauded from bringing a fascinating paradox, the local roots of global power, to a wider audience.' Sixteenth Century Journal

The Political Economy of the Dutch Republic

'In a hugely ambitious, richly detailed, and meticulously executed study, Rae Beth Gordon makes a forceful case for the audacious claim that the "vernacular modernism" of nineteenth-century music hall performance directly influenced the "high" modernism of twentieth-century avant-garde movements such as Dada and Surrealism. Her book's likely impact cannot be overstated.' Elizabeth Ezra, University of Stirling, UK  'Rae Beth Gordon's startling but ultimately convincing book focuses on the impact of Darwinian evolutionary theory on popular and crowd-pleasing entertainment in turn-of-the century France. Her readings of Alfred Jarry's Ubu cycle and the artistic geneology of Josephine Baker are nothing short of riveting, as what might be seen as vulgar sexism and blatant racism are cast as complex prisms through which spectators experienced and negotiated the Other in themselves.' Judith Miller, New York University, USA  ’Dances with Darwin is a fascinating read and a useful contribution to studies in modernity, drawing a convincing case for ’an aesthetic of disorder a half century before the eruptions of Dada and Surrealism.’ Gordon questions previous boundaries of ’modernity’ in vernacular culture in France, asking (regarding Baker) ’how was it possible that the public forget they had applauded ’animalistic,’ ’disarticulated’ and ’epileptic’ women a generation earlier?’ (274). If the public did forget, Dances with Darwin helps to remind, locate, and vividly enlighten.’  British Society for Literature and Science  ’Dances with Darwin successfully manages to portray an era that tamed its fears by means of staged eccentricities and cynically appropriated the science of evolution. Far from resigning to a simple investigation of gesture and movement, the author resurrects early modernism as a compact set of structures of meaning where, as Clifford Geertz suggested, twitches, winks, burlesque and imitation are produced, perceived and interpre

'This enterprising new collection employs revisionist research on Romanticism to cast fascinating new light on the life and writing of James Hogg. A distinguished line-up of contributors does not disappoint: we see Hogg negotiating a series of authorial identities and creating new imaginative possibilities in forms as diverse as Virgilian Georgic, song, national narrative and Gothic, and pushing the boundaries of decorum and style to the point of his readers' discomfort. This is a book that will be essential reading for Romanticists, students of Scottish and working class literature, and Hogg specialists.' Susan Manning, University of Edinburgh, UK  'Ranging widely across his texts, this collection demonstrates James Hogg's remarkable literary range; uncovering hidden contexts, these writers disclose Hogg's almost archeological keenness in exploring his cultural domains; in sharp close readings, these essays reveal a Hogg of remarkable perception, nuance, and wit. This volume demands and performs a deep engagement with the many facets of the Ettrick Shepherd, both those invented by Hogg and for him by others, in order to remake the terrain of Romanticism.' Mark Schoenfield, Vanderbilt University, USA and author of British Periodicals and Romantic Identity: The 'Literary Lower Empire'   'The calibre of this collection certainly makes it essential reading for specialists of Hogg, and for scholars of Scottish and working-class literature. However, styled in a clear and non-intimidating manner, this work also appeals to a wider audience, and has the potential to compel many unfamiliar with Hogg to become more acquainted with the contributions of the Ettrick Shepherd in Scottish literary history.' International Review of Scottish Studies  'All in all, this volume provides stimulus for much new thinking, looking well beyond pieces that are now part of the canon, or on the way to being so, particularly when one also takes into account some twenty pages of Bibliography, rep

'This is an important collection that makes a valuable contribution to scholarship on Anthony Trollope, on gender issues, and on fiction generally. One of the most striking features of this wonderful and admirably organized volume is its unpredictability, as it departs from expected arguments and even from expected subjects. Would that all essay collections were this fine.' James R. Kincaid, University of Southern California, USA   ’Fine examples of contemporary scholarship...this collection makes one want to read Trollope’s novels anew...Highly recommended.’  Choice  ’This is a fine collection of essays on Trollope "for the Twenty-First Century." It should not only enlighten students of Trollope but also interest students of gender theory and of the Victorian novel. Anyone reading it cannot but deduce that Trollope studies flourish in the new century.’  New Books on Literature   '... [an] important contribution to Victorian studies...'  Victorian Studies  'This is an attractive volume, enlivened with illustrations from Trollope’s novels and other sources. The readings are fresh and imaginative.'  European Legacy

'This book shows how the road traffic law is applied in practice - providing a historical, moral and legal argument for the difficulties in dealing with driving offences and proving intent. The book also draws on psychological theories about the defendant's "state of mind" at the time of the offence and sheds light on a hotly debated societal problem - why thousands of people are killed and injured globally yet very few prosecutions result. It is a valuable contribution to the field.' Lisa Dorn, Cranfield University, UK

'The importance of music as an index of Ireland's changing cultural condition throughout the modern era is finally starting to be acknowledged. After much theoretical speculation in recent years as to the "Irishness" of Irish music, what was needed was a proper scholarly analysis of  the subject - a painstaking, informed study of the factors that bear upon a general understanding of the nature, role and representation of music in modern Ireland. John O'Flynn's book provides exactly that. On the one hand, The Irishness of Irish Music makes a compelling contribution to a developing field. At the same time, it provides insights into the role of cultural experience in the negotiation of identity which demands the attention of anyone interested in modern Ireland.'  Gerry Smyth, Liverpool John Moores University, UK   ’O'Flynn takes an academically-accented approach to unravelling musical, cultural and political identities across a multitude of genres but has much to say about how music in and from Ireland acquires its 'Irishness.' ...As valuable for the questions it leaves unanswered as for the conclusions it reaches.’ R2 - Rock'n'Reel  ’The authors’ dissection of myths and exposure of often under-acknowledged aspects of musical life in Ireland make[s] [...] a welcome addition to the study of a small musical island caught in the rising tide of globalisation.  His chapter ’Mapping the Field’ should be essential reading for students and stakeholders of the Irish music industry.’ Popular Music  ’A timely contribution to the fields of ethnomusicology, musicology, folklore, Irish and European studies, The Irishness of Irish Music offers the reader unique insight into the relations between production and consumption practices and larger socio-cultural discourses of authenticity and national identity formation in the Irish Republic. ... O’Flynn [...] greatly expand[s] our understanding of often under-acknowledged aspects of musical practice in Ireland.’ Jou
