A Daring Voyage Out of Slavery

The Escape of Robert Smalls

'This book examines the impact of globalisation on France which, as one of the oldest nation-states, is highly sensitive to its position in the new world order, both resisting it through anti-globalisation movements and ideologies, and looking beyond the nation-state in the European Union. To adapt the words of one commentator, the nation-state is obstinate, and the French nation-state more obstinate than others. This book will be invaluable to students of contemporary France, as well as to students of globalisation processes in today's world.' - David S.Bell, Professor of French Government and Politics, University of Leeds, UK

'Maclean and Szarka have compiled an excellent edition of chapters on a subject of ever-topical interest. Thanks to the contributors' collective breadth of experience and depth of expertise, the book establishes important links between empirical fact and current research agendas in the social sciences, and offers the reader an invaluable assessment of the limits of France's singularity in international relations.' - Dr Helen Drake, Department of Politics, International Relations and European Studies, University of Loughborough, UK

'Maclean and Szarka have brought together an impressive edited collection exploring the key questions and issues confronting corporate France and its political and business leaders in a world where globalisation, environment and security issues dominate the agenda. In a rigorous analysis, the book links the legacy of 'old France' through recent events to rationalise the thinking behind the current strategies France has developed to adapt to this changing world order, particularly in the context of the internationalisation of French business.' - Iain Gray, Chief Executive, Technology Strategy Board, and former General Manager and Managing Director of Airbus UK

'...a very stimulating and invaluable read for anyone interested in contemporary French politics and society, and in the interaction between processes of globalisation and the nation state.' - Nick Parsons, Modern and Contemporary France

'It offers different approaches tackling political, diplomatic, economic, cultural and environmental issues. Consequently, it addresses a wide range of scholars and post-graduates interested in the evolution of France in the twenty-first century.' - Basil Germond, Journal of Contemporary European Studies

Praise for the first edition of FromCatastrophe to Chaos: "What this book really amounts to is a very literate and wide-ranging survey of the chaos and catastrophe theory literature. Professor Rosser deserves great credit for drawing together an enormous number of sources (the bibliography contains about 1200 references)both inside and outside economics and in neighboring fields like ecology, history, biology, and mathematics, and weaving them into a compelling story." - Journal of Economic Literature "One of the greatest virtues of Rosser's book is his evenhanded presentation of models from both the mainstream neoclassicals and the alternative postmodern evolutionary economists. In fact, by discussing both research programs without denigrating either, Rosser makes a contribution unique among the books addressing these topics." - Southern Economic Journal "...effectively brings together a disparate and voluminous literature on a catastrophe and chaos theory to tell a compelling story about the need to comprehend economic discontinues.This book will become a standard reference in the area that it has chosen to concentrate on and I recommend the book to readers who are interested in learning more about the intricacies of a fundamentally discontinuous world." - American Journal of Agricultural Economics (2001)

'David Booy has made an admirable selection from the notebooks, sympathetic to Wallington's own priorities and preoccupations, which he has scrupulously edited, retaining Wallington's erratic orthography, adding necessary punctuation, identifying the sources of Biblical quotations, the authors and titles of tracts and pamphlets from which Wallington copied excerpts, and the identities of the people he alludes to in the texts. Generations of readers will turn to this edition with gratitude'. Paul Seaver, Stanford University,USA  'Nehemiah Wallington's prolific writings show us, in graphic and immediate detail, the dangerously exciting world of 17th century London seen through the eyes of a puritan artisan. This ambitious and excellent edition enables us to share, for the first time, his hopes, joys, disappointments and fears as he pursues a turbulent spiritual quest through civil war and revolution. Wallington's letters, diaries and meditations throw a flood of light on a personal and family history that he always placed firmly within a national, international and indeed cosmic drama. ' Bernard Capp, University of Warwick, UK  ’The book deserves to be read by anyone interested in public life during the civil wars and inter-regnum, rather than merely those fascinated by puritan piety and godly introspection.’ Parliamentary History  ’Nehemiah Wallington leaps from the pages of this evocative and informative book ... David Booy is to be congratulated on a valuable scholarly edition.’ Journal of Theological Studies  ’For students ... [this volume] ... will be invaluable, a reliable source for spiritual and everyday life in mid-seventeenth-century London, packed with starting points for research projects. ... Booy brings together all of the extant manuscripts for the first time, and it is invaluable to be able to read so extensively (and conveniently) from all of Wallington’s writings in one sitting. The selection thereby offers a significant commentary on dai

The Notebooks of Nehemiah Wallington, 1618–1654

’This book should help us avoid the temptation to generalize about entrepreneurial behaviours across all ages, sectors, communities, races and genders, and instead help us to gain a better understanding of how variations in entrepreneurial behaviour occur.  The attention to the global age characterized by, technology, ethics, demographics, nation/state and culture provides a future dimension which leads us to question assumptions guiding theories about entrepreneurial behaviour.  The combination of  embeddedness and the global age as lenses through which to examine entrepreneurship should lead to new research directions.  I would like to own all the chapters!’ Candida G. Brush, Associate Professor of Strategy and Policy, Research Director of Entrepreneurial Management Institute, Boston University, USA  'Here is a book that truly does provide a fresh and innovative approach to Entrepreneurship. Its holistic approach to interdisciplinary perspectives of entrepreneurship should be basic reading for all students and scholars of entrepreneurship. The book's focus on the underlying global aspects and their implications for entrepreneurial activity identifies the need for new research directions.'  Professor Emeritus L Murray Gillin, Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia  'It would serve as a useful textbook for Master's-level students in the sociology of work, economic sociology, entrepreneurship and society, and entrepreneurship research methods...Entreprenurship: New Perspectives in a Global Age accomplishes what it sets out to do: to provide a fresh and innovative approach to entrepreneurship within the economic sociology literature.' International Journal of Social Economics   'This is of interest to researchers and politicians alike, and the importance of the topic is not restricted to New Zealand...wide-ranging approach to entrepreneurship...the editors are to be applauded for having undertaken

'This is one of the most stimulating books on Renaissance medicine I have read...It offers a series of challenging theses.' Medical History  'Cunningham...brings the scholarly debates alive, and manages to set medical changes firmly within their social and cultural context.'  International Journal of the Classical Tradition  ’In this original and provocative book, Andrew Cunningham sets out to rewrite the history of Renaissance anatomy. Not content with mere revision, he intends to turn the conventional viewpoint on its head....This is an absorbing and compelling book, based on an intimate acquaintance with the primary texts and an impressive command of the philosophical literature. Its thesis is original and in many ways convincing, leading to fresh readings of familiar anatomical texts...Future historians of anatomy will not be able to ignore this book.’ Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. XXIX, No. 1  'Cunningham’s narrative of change, his reconfiguration of the subject, and the example of his close reading will be extremely important for the historiography of science and medicine.' British Journal for the History of Science, Vol. 31  'The virtues of The Anatomical Renaissance are legion. The scholarship...is meticulous, the range of learning impressive, the array of illustrations instructive.' Isis, Vol. 89, No.3   '...an important study that questions the accepted notion that modern ’scientific’ anatomy started with Vesalius.' The Year’s Work in Modern Language Studies, Vol. 50  '[An] important contribution to anatomical history...a masterly analysis....' Social History of Medicine, Vol. 12, No. 3

'Joseph Campos locates his work in the nexus of critical state theory, theories of security, and terrorism, specifically focusing on the appropriations of terrorism and terror events in national security discourse and statecraft. He pushes the limits of security theory in ways attentive to the imperatives of contemporary political times and the shifting conceptualizations and practices of international security and global terrorism.' Nevzat Soguk, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA  'At a time when there is a growth industry of mundane books treating terrorism in a global age, Joseph Campos' book stands out for its intellectual rigor, conceptual power and politicial sophistication.' Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawaii, USA  'Focusing on how state apparatuses and on how Presidential discourse in particular have fashioned the discourse of terrorism to sustain state authority, this book demonstrates how the Manichean discourse of terror has been constructed. In the welter of new security discourse surrounding "terror" and the growth of new international industries and alliances revolving around a manifold discourse of terror, Campos contributes his own distinctive voice to the critical interrogation of that discourse.' Michael Dillon, Lancaster University, UK  'This book is well thought out...Recommended.'  Choice  '...Campos achieves an effective and compelling argument for the legitimacy of the state-as-actor, and the manner in which that political unit continues to preserve its unique and historical status in an ever-globalizing and troubled world.'  e-Extreme
