‘Debt is highly original contribution to applied philosophy; its sober and forceful arguments are presented with clarity and, without being moralistic, a high degree of moral urgency. Relying on conceptual analysis, logic, and empirical evidence, Douglas judiciously exposes many fallacies and popular myths about the nature of debt (and money). Douglas develops a sensible moral framework (traced back to David Hume and Anscombe) with which to understand and evaluate the modern institution of debt. It is public philosophy in the great tradition of　 Russell, Stebbing, Neurath, and Bedau.This quirky book is bound to be a classic itself and makes a useful companion to Graeber's Debt.’ — Professor Eric Schliesser, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
'This is an extraordinary project and I am of the firm opinion that this book is not only original and highly useful, but, on occasion, also brilliant.' —Mark Peackock, York University, Canada
‘Douglas demonstrates how philosophical tools can help us untangle our confused understanding of debt. Making the right moral and political choices about debt depends on this crucial project. This is an important contribution to the metaphysics, politics, and philosophy of money.’ — David G. Dick, Ph.D., University of Calgary, Canada
'The Philosophy of Debt is a book full of examples and insights from many disciplines: history, economics, linguistics and ethics, among others. This richness has to be acknowledged. It helps the reader to understand what debt is, and it sheds new light on the normative issues that lie at its heart.' - Louis Larue, Universite catholique de Louvain

The Philosophy of Debt

"[A] richly informative, valuable book … The editors and contributors to this volume … have done a marvelous job of getting to the root of the key issues in contemporary research and theory in this area. … The 17 essays are uniformly interesting and accessible, and many are quite provacative. Imperative for those involved with the study of attitude, this volume will also interest readers with interests well beyond the bounds of attitude research. Essential [for] lower-division undergraduates through [to] faculty and professionals." – R. R. Cornelius in CHOICE
"Attitude is arguably the most enduring and central construct in social psychology, surfacing across almost the entire terrain of the discipline. In this wonderfully accessible book, Forgas, Cooper and Crano have assembled a truly stellar cast of leading scholars of the psychology of attitudes and attitude change to illustrate the breadth, diversity and scientific exhilaration of contemporary attitude research." - Professor Mike Hogg, Claremont Graduate University
"Like other offerings in the Sydney Symposium series, this volume presents cutting-edge science on carefully selected topics written by leading researchers and theorists. A must read for scholars and students interested in where contemporary attitudes research is at, and where it is heading." - Professor Arie Kruglanski, University of Maryland
"The editors have compiled an impressive set of contributions conveying important developments at the level of basic theory and research regarding attitudes and also illustrating exciting linkages by which the basic work informs other domains of inquiry." - Professor Russ Fazio, Ohio State University
"This book will become an indispensible resource for students and researchers interested in the nature of attitudes and attitude change. The scope of the analysis is breathtaking, including a discussion of the Aristotelian roots of persuasion, a critical analysis of contemporary research on implicit attitudes, and everything in between. The result is a comprehensive and integrative volume that is at once both forward looking and firmly grounded in the accumulated wisdom of the ages." - Professor William B. Swann, Jr., University of Texas

'Dr Lewis writes with ease and clarity. I appreciate the way he gently reminds the reader from time to time of earlier points of importance, thus saving a good deal of backward foraging. This book is pleasant to handle and the typeface easy on the eye.' - Keith Pratt, British Association for Korean Studies
' By revealing in such detail and with such erudition the myriad complexities of Korean-Japanese relations as they worked on the ground, Lewis's book shows how far the field has come since the myth of Tokugawa Japan's isolation began to unravel a quarter century ago.' - Monumenta Nipponica

’At a time when too few Americans realize the continued importance of the nuclear arsenal, Stephen Cimbala remains one of the most prolific and thoughtful scholars examining nuclear weapons theory and policy.

Lowther, Center for the National Interest, USA  ’Cimbala's years of work on nuclear issues continue to bear fruit. This is a penetrating assessment of issues pertaining to the new nuclear order written by a veteran analyst who knows the territory extremely well. Anyone looking for a guide to the nuclear agenda should read this book.’ Stephen Blank, US Army War College, USA

"Building a Better Man offers a practical and evidence-based program that will be a lifesaver for men caught up in the downward spiral of masculinity-driven violence. The authors’ approach leaves clients feeling understood and accepted, even though they might have committed violent acts. This book is a must read for every therapist working with such men."
—Ronald F. Levant, EdD, ABPP, professor of psychology at the University of Akron and editor of Psychology of Men and Masculinity

"Building a Better Man challenges men to rethink what it means to be a real man. It is a highly readable and practical guide that reveals the many costs of tough, aggressive masculinity. Building on the positive features of masculine power and assertiveness, the authors provide a roadmap to develop the insight and skills of a new, socially responsible masculinity that accepts and works with strong and powerful women in constructive ways."
—Stephanie A. Shields, PhD, professor of psychology and women’s studies at Penn State University and author of Speaking from the Heart: Gender and the Social Meaning of Emotion.

"This book, written by three outstanding psychologists, provides the reader with a powerful comprehensive model of masculine development and explains how timely, constructive interventions can reduce and prevent the violence that affects American society at all levels."
—Joseph L. White, PhD, professor emeritus of psychology and psychiatry at the University of California–Irvine

"These authors from diverse backgrounds are to be applauded for their work with men and for developing a model that specifically addresses male violence. This needed contribution to the field has practical utility for mental-health providers, organizations, and parents, as well as men who want to have better lives."
—Jay C. Wade, PhD, associate professor of psychology at Fordham University

"Building a Better Man is a valuable and timely contribution to the literature on the psychology of men. Through personal stories, analysis of male socialization, and a variety of practical methods for helping men change, the authors offer us a blueprint for how men can reduce aggressive and violent behavior and attitudes and form a more positive concept of masculinity. I highly recommend this book for anyone who works with men in clinical or community settings."
