'The publication of the first installments in Palgrave Macmillan's new series, "Great Thinkers in Economics," should be a major event for historians of economics.' - Roger Blackhouse, University of Birmingham

A Mind That Never Rests

Franco Modigliani

&nbsp;“Thompson’s outstanding edition leaves no doubt … that Thelwall needs to be reckoned with as a pioneering poet within his own contemporary horizon—but even more so as an ethical voice of unrivalled present-day topicality.” (Phillip Hunnekuhl, Notes and Queries, Vol. 66 (1), March 2019)"Judith Thompson's John Thelwall: Selected Poetry and Poetics amounts to a major accomplishment, at once accelerating the revival of Thelwall, and providing a much needed resource for work and pleasure in Romantic era studies. It is a treasure-house curated by expert archival scholarship, editorial savvy, and critical insight. With a smartly devised introduction, Thompson presents poet Thelwall (famously brave political activist) in the range and originality of the genres he exercised and transformed: pastoral and peripatetic, comic ballads, satires and seditious allegories, sonnets routine and innovative, odes (public and Pindaric), conversation poems, effusions, love songs, epic and autobiography, and essays on poetic principles." - Susan J. Wolfson, Professor of English, Princeton University, USA

"This superb edition contains selections from the entire range of Thelwall's poetry, including previously unpublished work, together with extracts from his critical writing. Organized by genre, Thelwall's own preferred method, the volume reveals a daringly experimental poet-theorist whose contribution to the Romantic literary revolution can now be explored by modern readers for the first time. Thompson, the leading interpreter of his poetry and discoverer of the Derby Manuscript which has transformed Thelwall studies, brings her expertise to bear through skillful editing and annotation and an insightful critical introduction which takes readers to the heart of Thelwall's poetic project." - David Duff, Professor of Language and Literature, University of Aberdeen, Scotland

"This is an admirably thorough attempt to take the reader through the military, religious, and political complexities of the times. It is an ideal choice for both the undergraduate and general reader."Jasmin L. Johnson, Gillingham, Kent 
"Nice features include good maps, a useful index, and superb descriptions of troop movements and battles. A valuable synthesis and a contribution to scholarship. Highly recommended."R.P. Gildrie, Austin Petty State University 
"Gentles descriptions are based on a thorough mastery of the primary sources as well as a deep understanding of the latest literature. Ian Gentles has made an impressive contribution to a field that is not short of impressive contributions."Charles Carlton, North Carolina State University 
"This book provides a series of new insights into the civil wars, which make its appearance more than welcome. It is the most recent academic study by an experienced academic."Martyn Bennett, Nottingham Trent University

As a result, general readers and history students alike will find it an excellent and reliable introduction to this fascinating period."David J. Appleby, University of Nottingham 
"The book is a compendium of the latest scholarship on military history. Its charts on wartime taxation and maps of campaign marches and battlefield alignments will be a boon to readers."Mark Kishlansky, Harvard University

Steinbeck's Bitter Fruit

"The collection as a whole is strong, and the contributions on Africa and Asia are particularly interesting. For researchers studying fatherhood (and/or motherhood), the volume is indispensable. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals." - Ralph LaRossa, Georgia State University, for CHOICE, March 2013
"In our view, this book is an important milestone in the research on fathering. There have been few systematic attempts to bring together research about fathers from cross-cultural perspectives. The chapter authors were chosen well, and the chapters are, for the most part, well-written and filled with salient and interesting information. One could easily visualize this volume being used as a text for an upper-division or graduate class. In addition, it is a substantial starting point for those wishing to launch into cross-cultural research about fathers." - Randal D. Day & Nathan A. Jorgensen, Brigham Young University, in Fathering: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Practice
"This book was the required text for my Fathering class in the Family Studies Program, when I taught the course in Spring 2013 with 25 upper-division undergraduate students. It is an excellent book as it covers the context of fathering across cultural communities. All chapters are well-written and information is based on either empirical data and/or solid conceptual frameworks. Case stories are effective sections as they set the tone of each chapter and lead to good class discussions. This book is easy to read as each chapter is organized within a systematic theme of presentation, which makes it practical for my class as a text. My students received the book well; it is full of testable material and is a refreshing change from typical textbooks. I plan to use it when I teach my fathering class again." - Ziarat Hossain, Family Studies Program, University of New Mexico
"This outstanding book vividly describes the variety and common circumstances affecting men, fathers and families everywhere. Every chapter is captivating to read, moving from vivid case exemplars, to qualitative summaries of fathering patterns, historical trends, demographic influences, quantitative surveys, family studies, and current and future trends. Charting an exciting future course for father research, this is the book to lead the way." - Thomas S. Weisner, UCLA, USA
"Let me commend the editors of the present volume for succeeding in their Himalayan task of providing a panoramic view of fathers’ roles in different regions of the world. As an interested reader, I must state that this is one of the few books of readings in the field that enthuses the reader to go through the entire volume instead of choosing only a few chapters of specific interest. In fact, the reader’s interest is sustained by wanting to "discover" what happens to fathers in other cultures, and to make cross-cultural comparisons in one’s own. Kudos for a well timed and useful contribution to the field." – T.S. Saraswathi, Baroda University, in International Society for the Study of Behavioral Development Newsletter
"Fathers in Cultural Context provides a worthy follow up to Lamb’s 1987 book, The Father’s Role: Cross Cultural Perspectives.I found the Foreward and the Introduction to be extremely informative, and recommend that readers treat those sections with the same attention and focus as one would bring to reading the volume’s core content.I highly recommend Fathers in Cultural Context. It is an invaluable tool for researchers, teachers, and students of anthropology, psychology, human development, and cultural studies to name a few. Social work, human services, and educational scholars and professionals will also benefit from discussions of the social policy implications of fatherhood research covered in each chapter." -Robert A. Veneziano, Department of Social Work, Western Conneticut State University, in Interpersonal Acceptance 
"Fathers in Cultural Context is an important addition to our understanding of fatherhood in a rapidly globalizing world. It is rare that a volume like this can balance such a large number of perspectives without overwhelming the read-er, and it accomplishes this balance in a way that suits the needs of practitioners, scholars, policy makers, and students interested in fatherhood across cultures." - Ryan A. McKelley, Ph.D., LP University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in International Psychology Bulletin 
"Fathers in Cultural Context, edited by David W. Shwalb, Barbara J. Shwalb, and Michael E. Lamb, provides a comprehensive and thoughtful compilation of the latest research on fathering across various cultural and situational contexts. Across a collection of 16 chapters, the book contributors provide in-depth discussions of the diverse influences on fathering (cultural and historical, cultural, economic, and social) from 14 nations around the globe. Fathers in Cultural Context is a timely text that provides insight into an important subject which is on the brink of greater understanding and discovery." -Emily Savage-McGlynn, Oxford University, in Infant & Child Development

"An excellent reference for students and scholars seeking both up-to-date research information and suggestions about why the place of fathers is undergoing rapid change. ... Much is to be learned about changing gender roles and family relationships across the world." - Don Edgar,Victorian Children's Council, Australia,in the Journal of Family Studies 
"If there ever were a crib sheet about contemporary fatherhood, this book is it." - Gwen Dewar, biological anthropologist and creator of Parenting Science, USA, in BabyCenter.com
"This book makes a vitally important contribution in making contemporary fatherhood studies truly global and truly inclusive. It presents cutting edge current research in a wide range of diverse societies, and brings the cross-cultural perspective in fathering research to a new level." - From the Foreword, Joseph H. Pleck, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA"A top-rated team of internationally recognized scholars have produced eloquently written and comprehensively researched chapters. This truly unique book also uses men's individual stories to expose readers to larger issues of culture and family. It brings the best science to bear on what we know about fathering across the world, and is a must read for anyone seriously interested in fathering." - Natasha J. Cabrera, University of Maryland, College Park, USA
"This remarkable new book provides a gold mine of observations on fatherhood and fathering around the world. The editors have assembled an impressive array of leading fathering scholars, providing cutting-edge and original contributions about how fathers contribute to family, neighbourhood and community life worldwide." - Margaret O'Brien, University of East Anglia, UK
"This book demonstrates how far research on fatherhood has come since the 1970s. ... This volume’s ability to link general themes to the subcultural variation of a specific region gives the text its richness. Whether it is the impact of migrant labour structures on contemporary Arab fatherhood or the European phenomenon of ‘multiple fatherhood’, the contributors are adept drawing out the social and economic context of these transitions. ... The way the text challenges any naturalised notion of fatherhood would be of value to any family practitioner. Most striking was the editors’ concern about the way that the North American preoccupation with fathering as ‘essential’ to child development skews research priorities in other regions." - Warren Matofsky, Clinical Child & Family Psychologist, Sussex, UK, in The PsychologistThis unique book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the role that fathers play throughout the world. ... [It] provides readers with research originally published in languages other than English, thereby making previously inaccessible research available to a vast audience ... [and] personalizes the research by offering the photos and case studies of a typical or a distinctive father in each culture. … [The book] presents the research in a non-technical, “user friendly” way that will appeal to students.“– Linda Nielsen, Wake Forest University, USA
"The editors provided a book that is written in such a way to allow those outside the field of Psychology to read and understand the information provided without sacrificing intelligent writing. I have already recommended this book to many individuals, including professionals inside and outside of Psychology, and I intend to continue recommending this book for those wanting to see a broadly cultural perspective of fatherhood." -Ashley B. Hampton, Ph.D, American Psychological Association Division 51
"The specific strength of this volume is precisely this array of international research that it puts together, enabling the readers to understand how historical, social and cultural contexts and rapid changes in social conditions around the world have shaped and influenced notions of fatherhood...reviews of research from countries across the world give ample scope for designing and initiating further and collaborative research in this emerging and potentially exciting field."- U. Vindhya, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Hyderabad, India, in Psychological Studies
"The book is rich in anecdotes, concepts, study methods, and provocative pieces....Chapters on the Arab world and Bangladesh and Malaysia are among those making some of the most novel splashes into the cross-cultural fathering literature...Its rich empirical and conceptual content pushes readers to grapple with the variable nature of fathering and its rapid change in many cultural contexts." - Peter B. Gray, Department of Anthropology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in International Journal of Intercultural Relations"The book is meticulously researched and well written. Each chapter integrates empirical studies, history, sociopolitical and cultural themes, and the authors’ insights to paint an intricate picture of fathering in that country...Owing to its organization into relatively free-standing chapters, this book is conducive to being perused piece by piece by busy readers." - Shannon Wagner Simmons, College of Medicine, University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, in Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
"Fathers in Cultural Context represents an ambitious attempt to explore and combine into a comprehensive collection two relatively under researched areas within family studies: fatherhood and cross-cultural variations in parenting. Each contributor is able to approach the issue of fatherhood from differing levels of analysis—micro-individual to the macro-social—in a which partly addresses many of the methodological burdens that have plagued social scientific research." - Edward Haddon, University of British Columbia, in Journal of Comparative Family Studies
"The book's success lies in the description of the significant cultural variance in fathering practices within and between cultures. [...] [The] authors admirably avoid the temptation to conflate involved parenting with modernity or to vilify fathers who do not follow the apparently emerging trend away from the sole breadwinner towards greater non-financial fatherly involvement with children." -Alex Nelson & William Jankowiak, Department of Anthropology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in Ethos

"[A]s Yaycioglu has shown, the Ottoman Empire grappled with the very same problems that its European counterparts did and attempted to reform itself accordingly. And like those in the empires of those counterparts, some reforms worked and others did not. If, then, we are to understand the Age of Revolutions as a global phenomenon, which it most certainly was, Yaycioglu's study is an important intervention that compels us to reconsider revolution and reform in the Ottoman Empire as evidence that its crises of empire occurred in lockstep with similar crises that arose contemporaneously in the empires of its rivals and allies."

'At its heart, Mr Blum is a teacher with vast experience in some of our worst schools ... [His book] is a clear and useful set of proposals for how schools could try rewarding students, rather than punishing them, and try to avoid conflict rather than scaring students out of bad behaviour. - Joe Plomin, Guardian Unlimited
'The book is a lively and disturbing read. It is very honest, but offers some practical and imaginative strategies for the ordinary teacher.' - Martin Allen, The Teacher
