Teachable Moments and the Science of Education

"This book should be required reading for members of service clubs around the world and for those interested in evaluating the contributions of volunteers. Very little research is publicly available on the impact of service clubs, the challenges they face and the opportunities they have. The book is based in part on surveys and interviews conducted for District 7620 (central Maryland and Washington, DC) but is also relevant for other districts. It considers seven main questions: What is the membership challenge faced by clubs?; Who are their members, and how satisfied are they with their club experience?; How can areas for growth be identified?; How can clubs innovate to attract and retain members?; How much service work do clubs engage in?; What types of work do they do, and what makes projects successful?; And finally, how can district events be more engaging? While the book is based on rigorous research, it is written in a very readable way so that service club members and those interested in their work can learn from the research and better succeed in their mission." - Peter Kyle, District Governor, Rotary District 7620

"Exploring a truly timely topic, Nicholas Robinette's analysis intercedes in a set of conversations about the relation between form and politics in 20th century Anglophone literature, with particular attention to what we now call literatures of the Global South. Scholars of postcolonial studies will greatly benefit from Robinette's insightful and important intervention." - Susan Z. Andrade, Associate Professor of English, University of Pittsburgh, USA

"Every Anglophone reader interested in the working mechanics behind    Chinese poetry will find these texts to be endless resources worth    returning to again and again....Chinese Poetic Writing offers a  richly informative look at the ordering principles implicit in Chinese  language and thought....Although aimed as being introductory in nature,  both A Little Primer of Tu Fu and Chinese Poetic Writing nonetheless forefront the presentation of the poem in Chinese   characters, clearly emphasizing the importance of the original language   in fully understanding any poetry." &mdash;Rain Taxi&ldquo;Cheng&rsquo;s book, L&rsquo;ecriture poetique chinoise, soon became a classic in the already extensive corpus of French translations of Chinese poetry, and remains a staple of every French sinologist&rsquo;s library...Cheng&rsquo;s work complemented and enhanced a body of French translations...already impressive for both its quantity and diversity.&rdquo;&mdash;Paula Varsano  &#160; &ldquo;Cheng, writing in 1977, produces a complex and detailed approach to Chinese writing practices that complicates both pictographic and phonological assumptions.&rdquo;&mdash;Scott Nygren  &#160; &ldquo;My...reaction was astonishment that anyone could accomplish the task [of translation] with such sensitivity and formal tact. Every line, detail and compositional device in the poems that Cheng studies is given its appropriate emphasis and placement, so that not only the individual meaning but the combined significance emerges with clarity and refreshing illumination. This is that rare scholarly work that gives pleasure as well as understanding...a work that represents a definite advance in the study of Chinese poetry.&rdquo;&mdash;John Kwan-Terry, World Literature Today

&ldquo;Tom&rsquo;s book takes the reader through Tom&rsquo;s twenty-four years of experience working in protective operations, counterterrorism, along with conducting security training programs in high-risk locations such as Mogadishu, Sudan, Bosnia, Philippines, and Iraq. Although not intended to be a Protective Services Training Manual, Tom&rsquo;s book supplies more educational content than most books that are meant to be training manuals. After more than forty plus years providing Protective Driving services, I was especially impressed with Tom&rsquo;s discussion of how he and his team escaped a vehicle ambush in Mogadishu. Along with &lsquo;Getting Off The X,&rsquo; Tom discusses the process used to get a severely wounded comrade back to safety. The end result is saving the individual&rsquo;s life. This event is only one of the many real-life learning experiences that present the reader with invaluable lessons learned. The book not only discusses the operational aspects of his career, but Tom also covers the seldom talked about toll that these professions can take on your personal life. He concludes his book with an outstanding discussion on the sorely needed topic of leadership in protective services operations, which in itself is worth reading the book. You will not find many books that cover the topics and lessons learned from the experiences presented in Tom&rsquo;s book, simply because few people on this planet have experienced these&nbsp;events and&nbsp;are willing to share their knowledge.&rdquo;

"This is a thorough and important exploration of an intractable problem. For too long, the international community has struggled to apply the nuance required to devise a framework for addressing the risk of aid diversion. This book responds effectively to that shortcoming." - Tom Keatinge, Director, Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies, RUSI

"There are no easy answers to the risk that the money will not get through to those that need it most. This excellent book will guide not only charities, but other stakeholders in responsible and compassionate aid and development." - Murray Baird, Charity Adviser and former Assistant Commissioner General Counsel, Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)

'It is difficult to imagine a historical subject with a deeper resonance for our present age than the development of the global arms trade. In this book, Emrys Chew presents an essential and deeply researched analysis of the arms industry and the arms trade in Europe and Asia during the nineteenth century.' - C.A. Bayly, University of Cambridge, UK

'Arming the Periphery brilliantly reveals that the trade in small arms and the arms transfer system it engendered between Europe and the Indian Ocean region were fundamental to the development both of empire and, paradoxically, of state formation in the region. To help us fully understand the likely impact of the international small arms trade of the present and future, we need to understand its past patterns and structure. This book provides a uniquely valuable guide to the past, and by extension, to the future too.' - Geoffrey Till, King's College London, UK

'As the Indian Ocean returns to the centre-stage of world politics, Arming the Periphery offers a deep insight into the historic evolution of the region's security order. Emrys Chew's fascinating story on the arms trade between the European centre and the Asian periphery in the long nineteenth century will uniquely enrich the twenty-first century debates on the Indian Ocean amidst the unfolding redistribution of power in the littoral.' - C. Raja Mohan, Senior Fellow, Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi, and Foreign Affairs Columnist for The Indian Express

'...well-researched, wide-ranging study...' - Highly recommended by Choice

'The authors provide a pathbreaking analysis of the EU's contribution to global security and the "politics of impact" as it plays out in Brussels, member state capitals, and host states and among other security providers. The authors' template for assessing the impact of crisis management operations should be considered by policy-makers and practitioners who seek to understand - and improve - the impact of civilian and military missions.
- Jamie Shea, NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General

'This book is a landmark for the debate on the security policy of the European Union: the authors' thorough review of existing literature, innovative approach to evaluating EU crisis management operations, and insightful and comprehensive analyses deserve highest attention in the political arena and in the academic world'
- Wolfgang Wessels, Jean Monnet Chair for European Affairs, University of Cologne, Germany

'This books ditches unsubstantiated sweeping generalizations about the EU´s performance in international crisis management operations. Instead Roy Ginsberg and Susan Penksa offer balanced judgement and thorough analysis based on sound empirical analysis. The book demonstrates that many global security issues cannot be properly understood without taking EU contributions into account.'
- Knud Erik Jørgensen, Professor of International Relations, University of Aarhus, Denmark

'The EU in Global Security is a clear, thorough, and well-researched study of the impact of Common Security and Defence Policy missions. It shows both how the Union makes a genuine difference in global security governance, as well as its limitations and (sometimes) pathologies. A serious work that all serious students of EU foreign policy will find essential reading'.
- John Peterson, Professor of International Politics, University of Edinburgh, UK
