'Hansen-Miller successfully brings contemporary philosophies of governmentality and biopolitics to bear on cinematic representations of violence. The result is conclusive: that cinema has throughout its history engaged in processes of subjection and subjectification through violence. By showing us this, Civilized Violence lifts the veil on cinematic representations of violence.' Richard Rushton, Lancaster University, UK  'Civilized Violence confronts the question of the attraction of the spectacle of violence in contemporary cinema in a completely fresh way. Instead of asking what the appeal of violence is Hansen-Miller asks how it works and in doing so provides cinema studies with a powerful new account of the relation between cinema and society.' Ian Buchanan, Cardiff University, UK  'This beautifully written book offers a brilliant diagnosis of our changing psychic and social investments in violent representations. Moving between sociology, film studies and feminist theory to demonstrate the centrality of gendered subjectification to our fascination with violence, this is interdisciplinary research at its very best: lucid, incisive and utterly persuasive.' Jackie Stacey, University of Manchester, UK  'Civilized Violence draws on a solid theoretical framework, built mainly on Foucault, and enters into productive dialogue with existing literature on the films. This frame allows for a fruitful and nuanced discussion of the cultural function of cinematic violence across the twentieth century. The book incorporates detailed textual analysis, a discussion of popular and critical reception of the central films and in-depth consideration of the broader social, historical and cultural contexts in which the films were produced... Civilized Violence is stylishly written, well structured and logically set out... it makes an important contribution to contemporary understandings of on-screen violence. Moving beyond simplistic notions of cinema violence as satisfying supposedly

Landscape Architect and Professor Bruce Sharky, through his many years of practice and worldwide teaching has written a thorough introduction and definition of the art and science of Landscape Architecture: its scope, its amplitude, and its present and future relevance in the XXI century.
The book establishes definitions of methodology, scope of work, outlook and design concepts for students and professionals alike. It touches succinctly and clearly into the history and evolution of the profession, and of the scale and typological landscapes professionals are committed to today. It also defines the amplitude and limitations of a profession difficult to define. A book much needed at schools, as well as in private corporations and public institutions.

’Offering intriguing readings of Keats’s romances, Rachel Schulkins’s book is the first sustained treatment of the poet’s work in terms of his figurative use of masturbation. She engages with Keats’s complex concerns with gender and sexuality, which have been points of contention among Keats scholars and sources of frustration to his readers within and outside the academy.’ James Allard, Brock University and author of Romanticism, Medicine, and the Poets Body

"Rites of Assent may be not only Sacvan Bercovitch's most accessible book, but his most important as well.  In it Bercovitch applies his influential earlier analysis of the Puritan jeremiad, the Puritan self, and the ideology of American liberal consensus to a wider range of American literature and culture.  Rites of Assent will obviously be required reading for Americanists in every field." -- Gerald Graff, George M. Pullman Professor of English and Education"For thirty years, Bercovitch has been our most insightful and provocative critic of American culture and literature. Our leading intellectual historian and discourse theorist, he has shattered the myths, exposed the hidden rituals, and explicated the religious and political rhetoric that have mystified millions for two centuries.  These essays will again awaken his audience to the delusions of the American dream and leave some wishing they could go back to sleep." -- Emory Elliott, Presidential Chair of English, University of California

'This collection conveys the passionate response by younger scholars to the cultural aspects of a crisis that has increasingly defined the world. Through looking at music beyond the arenas of the big-ticket pop stars, these papers are able to explain many of our more real and complex reactions - reflecting our own disquiet in the face of the ghosts of our own history.' Paul Attinello, Newcastle University, UK  ’This book would make an interesting addition to any reading list... recommended: Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers.’ Choice  '... a lively and significant contribution.'

’The mixed record of statebuilding over the past decade has generated a clamour for evidence on what works best. Ironically, there has been very little evidence on whether evidence is actually used in policymaking - until now. Rigorously researched, well-written and thoughtfully put together, this impressive book offers insight and analysis on the genesis of policymaking. It will become a must-read for practitioners and researchers alike.’ Iain King, Head of Conflict Research, Department for International Development (DFID), UK  ’This is a very important book because it demonstrates why evidence is not a sufficient criterion for winning the war of ideas in statebuilding. By implication it seeks to reconcile the world of theory and the world of practice to focus more directly on problem-solving rather than problem-making. As such it makes a path-breaking contribution to statebuilding research.’ Mark Evans, Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis, Australia

’Kroener has used the insights of science and technology studies, and of surveillance studies, to produce the most comprehensive history yet of British CCTV. Her in-depth historical research is grounded in a thorough knowledge of the secondary literature, and reveals for the first time the role of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike in pioneering blanket public CCTV surveillance in residential areas.’ Chris A. Williams, Open University, UK  ’Inga Kroener is a rising star in the burgeoning new field of surveillance studies. Her erudite new work on CCTV, captures why these technologies have slipped under the critical radar to become an ubiquitous part of modern street furniture. A comprehensive history of city wide surveillance systems coupled with a clear and fearless analysis of the relentless proliferation of surveillance capacity, make this an indispensable text for critical undergraduate criminology students.’ Steve Wright, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK

A Baker & Taylor Academic Essentials Title in Area/Ethnic Studies: Black Studies outside the U.S.  ’This welcome volume sheds light on the under-explored phenomena of regionalisms in Africa, helping us to understand not only how the regionalisms of that continent continue to shape its politics, but also how the debates on African regionalism can contribute to wider comparative study. Deserves to be widely-read.’ Alex Warleigh-Lack, University of Surrey, UK  ’By focusing on actors and agency, Lorenz-Carl, Rempe and colleagues present a fresh, innovative and rich analysis of African regionalisms, which is both politically and theoretically relevant. Their book is recommended reading for all those who are interested in better understanding the macro-regional dynamics in Africa.’ Philippe De Lombaerde, United Nations University (UNU-CRIS), Belgium  ’This important and thoroughly researched book provides convincing arguments for an 'agency approach' to regionalism. By rejecting conventional wisdom and Eurocentric assumptions, Mapping Agency makes us rethink 'who' builds regions and for what purpose. The book is a major contribution to our understanding of regionalism and it is recommended reading for both scholars and policy makers.’  Fredrik SÃ¶derbaum, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and United Nations University-Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS)

'The question at the heart of this book - how and why women’s bodies emerge as sites of conflict about nation, community and identity - is an important and timely one.  Hanafin’s response, arrived at through an analysis of the evolution of the law regulating reproduction in Italy, will offer much of interest to anyone who cares about law and gender, reproductive rights, or national identity.'  Sally Sheldon, Kent Law School, UK  'Conceiving Life is an excellent example of the important intersections between politics, religion, civil society, gender, and the law. Not only does Hanafin's work demonstrate a contribution to the aforementioned fields, but it also highlights the usefulness of a comparative approach to the study of law. Although firmly rooted in feminist theory, he shows a complex application of all these fields to his explanation for how regressive policy can be established in times of social progress.' Law and Politics Book Review  '...interesting and engaging...a useful catalogue of shifting and sometimes conflicting currents in modern Italian thinking about the position of women in terms of their reproductive rights.'
