'This book should be considered mandatory for all those wanting the most updated picture of the current situation regarding irregular immigrants in today’s Europe. The authors of this volume have a trustworthy voice based on thorough reviews of the best data available on a process which is usually described in sensational ways, more based on fears than on in-depth research.' Katrine Fangen, EUMARGINS, Norway  'This volume tackles one of the most difficult measurement issues in international migration: illegal migration. This issue is also one of the most politically sensitive ones, as well as one in which the EU and most EU Member States are investing increasing amounts of political and physical capital. Anna Triandafyllidou and the chapter authors have done an enormous service to policymakers, the broader research community, and the informed public by looking at "irregular" migration with sensitivity, unusual rigor, and through a variety of analytical and policy lenses.'  Demetrios Papademetriou, President, Migration Policy Institute  'This edition continues a series of well-edited readers on immigration in Europe that Triandafyllidou has produced. This indispensable book sheds ’scientific’ light on the issue of the irregular migration of Third Country Nationals in Europe. The central message revolves around how the status of irregularity is more linked to governmental policy than to actual geographical flows of migrants, thus questioning the myths created around ’increases’ and ’decreases’ of ’illegal immigration’.'

'Wisdom and War provides a well paced, detailed and interesting narrative of the 125-year history of one of the Royal Navy’s best known training establishments, but it is also of wider interest, for throughout developments at Greenwich are carefully related to the wider naval, strategic, political and economic context.' International Journal of Maritime History  '... a good overall historical summary for close study of the curriculum and doctrine taught at the single service college - good and bad - before closing.'

"The global rise of smart urban initiatives over the past decade has been impossible for any individual scholar to keep up with. Smart discourse has been widely critiqued but actually-existing and emergent smart spaces have received only patchy attention. Taking us inside and around a world of smart cities, Karvonen, Curugullo and Caprotti have assembled a volume that will be widely appreciated within, and well beyond, the academy." - Tim Bunnell, Professor of Human Geography, National University of Singapore, Singapore

"As the smart city idea is moving from rhetoric to reality, this collection of essays provides a unique and indispensable investigation into the variegated instantiations of the smart city narrative in cities of the Global North and South. If you want to understand what‘smart’ does to cities around the world, Inside Smart Cities is a must read." - Ola Söderström, Professor of social and cultural geography, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
"Inside Smart Cities is a welcome addition to and a sorely needed collection of curated case studies of the evolving model of urban development that applies digital technologies to the design and deployment of contemporary urban infrastructure. Multi-scalar, interdisciplinary, and global in scope, the collectionprovides a panoptic view of this evolving practice of urban planning, enabling readers to internalize key consequences of what until now has been encapsulated into stories that were both fragmentary and idiosyncratic in scope. Inside Smart Cities makes clear the ambivalent nature of this technological innovation and puts the responsibility of its consequence squarely in the hands of the user. Adopters therefore bear the responsibility to ensure that principles of distributive justice serve as discerning benchmarks in deployment schemes." - Amy Glasmeier, Professor of Economic Geography and Regional Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
"Inside Smart Cities provides a timely analysis of the ways in which smart city development is unfolding globally. Its critical contribution lies in bringing together a diverse portfolio of cases - each of them rich in interrogating how smart city discourse is reshaping urban realities. Moving beyond discursive critiques, this volume is a must-read for anyone, from students and scholars to practitioners and policy actors, interested in grasping the state-of-the-art in smart urban development practices around the world." - Professor Rob Raven, Monash Sustainable Development Institute(Melbourne), Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development (Utrecht)
"In Inside Smart Cities, Andrew Karvonen, Federico Cugurullo, and Federico Caprotti have assembled an impressive collection of smart city case studies, authored by a diverse group of leading smart city scholars. Looking at cases around the world, the authors compellingly demonstrate not only the diversity of smart city initiatives, but also the diverse issues these initiatives pose. Smart cities must always be understood contextually, in relationship to other urban processes, as contested as well as supported, and affecting different groups differently. This nuanced and insightful collection raises at least as many questions as it answers, as it should."- Byron Miller, Professor of Geography and Urban Studies Program Coordinator, University of Calgary

'Making a significant contribution to the field of early modern European visual culture, this volume focusing on portraits of women asks - and, in some cases, even answers - how image-making functioned as an act of agency in Renaissance and Baroque Europe.' Julia Marciari Alexander, Yale Center for British Art, Yale University 
'All in all, this an excellent collection of studies, which makes a major contribution to the subject of female portraiture in early modern Europe as well as raising questions that will hopefully lead to further fruitful research.’ Parergon

'Wives, Widows, Mistresses, and Nuns in Early Modern Italy is a strong collection of essays that will illuminate early modern women in a thoughtful and provocative manner.' Jacqueline Marie Musacchio, Wellesley College, USA and author of Art, Marriage, and Family in the Florentine Renaissance Palace 
'The volume is beautifully presented, with fifty-seven black and white illustrations, and a substantial bibliography that provides a good overview of the field... McIver’s volume contributes to the recent scholarly shift of attention away from traditional patronage systems more commonly associated with male elites... This collection of essays is an important addition to these studies [...] and augments Ashgate’s excellent series on Women and Gender in the Early Modern World.' Renaissance Quarterly 
'McIver and her authors seek to understand the various mechanisms that could render women visible or invisible, and by doing so, provide a more balanced understanding of the historical record. While some women, like nuns, chose (or were coerced) to be invisible, others might be overshadowed by powerful husbands, obscured by historical accident, or marginalized by remote locations. Regardless of the cause, McIver’s volume successfully demonstrates that patronage, broadly defined, could provide these women with some degree of visibility.' European History Quarterly

'A positive insight that emerges clearly from this study is the positive role of narrative which is crucial to reconciliation. A disturbing suggestion made by Gopin is that it is conservative interpretations of religion that tend to sponsor violence. This accords with recent interpretations of fundamentalism. Certainly, this book serves a useful purpose in exposing important issues that need to be addressed in any context of international conflict resolution in that there are few, if any, contexts where religion does not play a significant role.' Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae  ’Megan Shore offers us a well-researched and balanced book on the value of religion in a conflict resolution process based on the South African experience. ... Anyone involved in reconciliation or conflict resolution should read this book.’ Heythrop Journal

"It is apt that In this era of gender fluidity, Mou Sultana has written such an accessible and theoretically illuminating psychoanalytic work on the nature of psychosexual development. Her argument that the acquisition of sexuality is a phenomenon of the subject taking up a position (or not), as opposed to the idea of the subject being given his or her sexuality by nature, biology, anatomy, or society, is persuasive and so relevant at this time. Some readers may be put off by the title Castration Complex, as if it is an outdated concept. Don’t be. This is a book for our times. I highly recommend it."-Prof Anthony McCarthy, former president and founder member, The College of Psychiatrists of Ireland.

'Reading this book has made me want to read others in the Ecology and the Law in Modern Society series...' Mountain Research and Development  'A lucid analysis of the effects of mountain ski resorts on the environment. Applying the ecosystem concept - analyzing the movements of organisms, materials and water between landscape positions - to case studies in New England and Canada, Milne et al. provide an important critique of how ecology can work with the law to protect mountain ecosystems.' William H. Schlesinger, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, USA   'Ski resorts are often focal points of conflict, with lawyers and ecologists in opposing camps.  This fascinating book shows that their perspectives are complementary, and that such an interdisciplinary approach is required to understand and move forward with the management of mountain areas in a complex and increasingly uncertain world.' Martin Price, University of the Highlands and Islands, UK    'As a boy my friends and I skied at Killington in Vermont every chance we got. We didn't ski a collection of trails; we skied "the mountain" . The authors of Mountain Resorts challenge environmental law to do the same thing - to manage mountain resort areas not as a forest here, a stream there, a meadow there, but as ecosystems. Using four mountain resort case studies, including my boyhood slopes at Killington, the book meticulously evaluates existing approaches and finds them lacking. The authors chart a clear path for the evolution of legal regimes and scientific research. The result is a book that offers lessons in ecosystem management law going far beyond mountain resorts.'

’Lesbian Geographies is a thought-provoking book. Not only for the complexity and diversity of the lesbian spatial reality presented in its pages, but above all by the challenge to the way we have produced the geographies of sexualities. Besides enriching and broadening intellectual horizons, this book offers a way to build less arrogant and more hopeful scientific paths.’ Joseli Maria Silva, State University of Ponta Grossa, Brazil  ’Where are the lesbians? Lesbian Geographies, a wide-ranging and insightful collection, teaches us that a meaningful answer to this question requires not adding lesbians to geography but rebuilding geography by centering on lesbian experiences in all their diversity. From housework to the organising of lesbian festivals, lesbian lives are shaped by and reshape worlds. A necessary and important collection.’ Sara Ahmed, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK  ’For those who think that issues such as the lack of lesbian and queer socialising spaces are neither important nor deserve much theoretical and empirical analysis from the Social Sciences, this book is a must read. Departing from the intersections between queer and feminist geographies, and calling into question the Anglo-American hegemonies in these debates, it includes a complex analysis of resistant spaces and places, economic and social differences, power relations and communities, among many other important topics. Bravo!’ Gracia Trujillo, University of Castille - La Mancha, Spain

"A great contribution of the book lies in the fact that it illustrates that for investment, an existing overseas community might not be as important as different economic theories have suggested... In conclusion, this volume answers the questions it sets out to respond to and therefore provides a well-written and constructive attempt at shining more light on the relationship between migration, diaspora communities and investment in and to Europe."
