Traditional Narratives of the Arikara Indians, Volumes 3 & 4

“The volume's scope suggests how daunting the editors' task was, and they do a credible job, addressing issues ranging from governmental policy to heritage tourism to the possibilities of virtual tourism in the 21st century.  This is a good introduction to the subject… what the authors do accomplish is significant, particularly for comparative tourism studies…Highly recommended.”  ·  Choice

	"The authors have set an ambitious aim when attempting to cover such a large area as the development of Japanese tourism, but this is a well written book full of useful information, which reflects the obvious deep insight of the authors into Japanese tourism, past and present… This market is very important but has remained, until now, to a large extend, unexplained."  ·  Monika Rulle, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-University Greifswald

	“Japanese Tourism is a much welcomed and needed contribution to the field of tourism studies. Japan has long been a major source of international tourists, and is an increasingly more important destination, as well. This is one of the few books on Japanese tourism available to an international audience, and may be the only one that gives a comprehensive view of both domestic and international travel, including historical, economic and cultural perspectives. Funck and Cooper’s insights are must reading for anyone interested in the role of tourism in contemporary Japan.”  ·  Alan A. Lew, Northern Arizona University

“The book is a solid piece of work…Besides the theoretical novelties, the amount of empiric material that is presented is one of the book’s major benefits…the anthology represents a breakthrough in Pentecostal studies...it is one of the most interesting books that has been written on charismatic Christianity for a long time, and it must absolutely be read by everyone with an interest in Pentecostalism or/and ritual theory.”  ·  Alternative Spirituality and Religion Review

	“The quality of the essays is thankfully high, even as the cumulative result of the volume is suggestive for rethinking contemporary theories of ritual. This suggests that Practicing the Faithnot only tells us about pentecostal-charismatic life, but it also has methodological implications for anthropologists and other students of ritual. The study of Pentecostalism, thus, shows itself to be no less surprising than the phenomenon itself.”  ·  Religious Studies Review

	"This is a welcome collection of essays on ritual within Pentecostal and charismatic churches [that] will stake out new ground in a very crowded field."  ·  Matthew Engelke, London School of Economics

“…this is a well-researched and ethnographically rich book…Readers with an interest in culture change, Melanesian personhood, the anthropology of Christianity, as well as those interested in the recent upsurge in sorcery and witchcraft in Papua New Guinea will find it particularly fascinating.” • Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

	“This book is a rich ethnography of Bena people in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea and their cultural focus on exchange relationships.” • Sabine C. Hess, Australia National University

“Slipping Away is a marvelous work. It is an excellent example of the rewards of marrying long-term fieldwork with theoretical insight. The book is essential reading for those interested in the Caribbean region, EU–Caribbean relations, the implications of neoliberalism and globalization, and the fair trade movement. It is perfect for classroom use, as it is very well written and provides lucid explanations of numerous debates in the literature. Consumers generally would benefit from the book by gaining a more balanced understanding of the implications of their purchases of fair trade products. For those increasingly depressed about the prospects for the Windward Islands banana industry, it does offer at least some optimism.”  ·  The AAG Review of Books

	"[G]racefully written - a pleasure to read ... This is a fine example of how ethnographic and historical research might be used to advance our understanding of contemporary globalization."  ·  Marc Edelman, CUNY, Graduate Center

“The book will serve as a wellspring for more specific comparisons and as a methodological example for future scholarship.” · Choice

	“…[a] well-written, thoughtful, and engaging study… This work’s novelty is its comparative approach in its examination of diverse narratives and in its use of the sources of collective memory—prose, poetry, art, and song, as well as engineering studies, and public pamphlets and documents…This book is welcome as a contribution to the history of rivers, comparative and transnational history, environmental history, and history of technology. It can be used in high schools or universities.” · Journal of Anthropological Research

	“There is much to celebrate about Rivers, Memory, and Nation Building; its comparative international perspective is something that environmental historians undertake far too infrequently. The approach is bold, refreshing, and insightful. Anyone who takes the time to read this well-written and carefully organized study will come away with a good understanding of the roles of the Mississippi and Volga Rivers in the history of their respective nations. If this volume also stimulates a discussion of how we interpret and explain the environmental history of rivers that would be an additional, important contribution to the field.” · Canadian Journal of History

	“All told, despite the obvious constraints such as limited access to Russian-language sources, this is a very good book. It is interesting, informative and thought-provoking at many levels. It is written with a degree of balance which is much to be commended. And it certainly makes an important contribution to environmental history, to historical geography and, not least, to Russian Studies.” · Human Ecology

	“The arguments and themes in Rivers, Memory and Nation-Building are credible, and the book as a whole is both engaging and well researched… Despite the relatively short length, Dorothy Zeisler-Vralsted has given us a readable history that is thoroughly documented, persuasively written, and historiographically significant. Most notably, the book brings an important component to the study of environmental history—a comparative perspective… The infusion of a comparative and international analysis is welcome and refreshing.” · Environmental History

	“The main themes and insights are strong ones…As well as offering a worthy and inspired comparison, this is a genuine and systematic comparison with a clear structure and steadily building momentum: a good balance is struck between the two rivers and the author frequently alternates between them, but without confusing the reader.” · Peter Coates, The University of Bristol

	“This is a concise and convincing comparative discussion of two major rivers. It is clearly shown that political systems were less important than the overarching twentieth century idea of modernization…Harnessing rivers for a free world was a common view – different ideas of ‘freedom’ may have existed, but the rivers were to be harnessed in strikingly similar ways. The comparative approach of the book, supported by appropriate details of each river and projects, allows for pointing out the main issues, questions and evidence, and shows how alike the two opposing political systems were when it came to river development.” · Maurits Ertsen, Delft University of Technology

“This edited volume does not only offer gender historians a rich source, but should also be of interest to historians of social movements and legal historians who have to face the fact that an expected process like ‘liberalization’ is created by economic and material factors as well as subterranean techniques of subjectivization and does not reveal any direction but presents a constellation that can switch position any time.” · H-Soz-Kult

“…an important, indeed significant, collection of essays that examine the historiography of presenting ‘nationhood.’ There is a shared point of view in the historiographical perspectives of the contributors that warrants the collection being considered as a ‘transitional formulation’ in Jaspers’s sense of the term…[The volume] can thus be seen as a watershed book for our time, opening an avenue for a global historiography of ‘in-common historiographical premises,’ even as it insists on discerning the diverse and complex perspectives that constitute any particular study.”  ·  H-Net Habsburg

	“The bulk of the analytical essays are well-written, informative and acute in pursuing the theoretical ambitions of the volume…Narrating the Nation is highly interesting and has a lot to offer. It is, at the same time, a focused and many-facetted volume, which everyone can draw inspiration from, both theoretically and thematically. Against this background, the book can be warmly recommended.”  · H-Soz-u-Kult

Rothe and Kauzlarich’s second edition is a pedagogic gem that provides a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the theory and practice of white-collar crime, occupational crime, corporate crime, organized crime, state crime, state-corporate crime, and financial crime from the viewpoints of production, victimization, regulation, and resistance. Like the first edition of Crimes of the Powerful this one will remain the textbook in this field of study.

“Cheung successfully conveys the complex and mutable terrain of contemporary Hong Kong cinema, then and now.” · Film Quarterly

	“…contextualising these films and filmmakers, New Hong Kong Cinema offers a relevant and insightful reconsideration of contemporary Hong Kong films. Simultaneously, it opens up the possibility for comparative studies.” · New Books Asia

	“An impressive and comprehensive work of seminal scholarship, New Hong Kong Cinema is an invaluable contribution to the study of the Chinese film industry in general, and the contributions of the Hong Kong cinema industry in particular. Enhanced with the inclusion of an eight page Filmography; a 28 page Bibliography; and a four page Index, New Hong Kong Cinema will prove to be a greatly appreciated addition to academic library Cinematic History reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists.” · Midwest Book Review

	“This book is exciting in its range and subtle in its treatment of texts and contexts. It is a deft combination of film analysis, cultural studies, and socio-economic-political conjunctures that is clearly written and wonderfully researched.” · David M. Desser, Emeritus Professor, University of Illinois

	“Cheung makes a compelling case for looking at current Hong Kong film as a 'cinema of transitions.' Moving away from notions of 'crisis' or 'disappearance,' her argument shifts the terms of analysis of Hong Kong film to focus on social, political, and economic change in relation to the fractured and changing identity of Hong Kong's inhabitants.” · Gina Marchetti, University of Hong Kong

“This selection of mostly highly stimulating and well-researched case studies not only gives insight into the diversity of what we think of as the Holocaust, but also a sense of how differently we can go about studying this topic and past social life in general. There is much to be gained, therefore, from reading this collection not selectively, according to one’s own research interests, but as a whole. In this sense, this is a very effective publication and a great addition to the literature.” • H-Soz-Kult

	“The contributions underline the extra value of microhistory, particularly for the study of relations and interactions between Jews and their non-Jewish fellow citizens. More generally, the volume demonstrates that the traditional tripartite division into victims, perpetrators, and bystanders is at least questionable. In most of the presented microstudies bystanders are absent, if not nonexistent. … The editors' main aim was to show through their collection of microstudies the complexity and diversity of the Holocaust. In this, they have succeeded admirably.” • H-Net Reviews

	“This excellent volume not only displays an admirable thematic and geographic diversity, but also presents a range of interpretations of the methodology known as ‘microhistory.’ Together, the chapters provide a refreshing and important look at the genocide against the Jews, illuminating aspects and incidents that must, by definition, be overlooked by macrohistorical studies.” • Jonathan R. Zatlin, Boston University

	“With historians in many countries turning increasingly to microhistory as an effective way to explore questions of human behavior and historical causation, now is the right time for this collection devoted to the Holocaust. The volume offers broad geographic and thematic coverage, provides examples of a variety of microhistorical approaches, and features the work of established scholars as well as younger colleagues engaged in innovative scholarship.” • Alan E. Steinweis, University of Vermont

“I look forward to bringing this book into my upperdivision classroom. It is yet another excellent tool for shaking up easy assumptions and problematizing taken-for-granted concepts, something we anthropologists ideally endeavor to accomplish in all that we do.” • American Ethnologist

	“This very interesting and insightful collection takes the focus of discussion around the concept of indigeneity away from its normal parameters, instead examining how the concept has taken root outside the European and North American contexts, transforming the concept of indigeneity.” • Evelyn Plaice, University of New Brunswick

“Enhanced with the inclusion of illustrations, tables, maps, and a seven-page index, [this volume consisting of] thirteen erudite and informative articles by experts in the field of labor and trade unionism is very highly recommended for college and university library International Studies in Social History collections in general, and European Labor and Trade Unionism History supplemental studies reading lists in particular.” · Midwest Book Review

	“Though these essays range widely, they are held together by an excellent common effort to set each chapter within the broader Nordic context. This is a top-rate contribution to the historiography on European labour movements.” · David Kirby, University College London

	“This welcome book provides very interesting and well-argued views on a rich variety of topics in recent and current Nordic labour history research, and on the current state of art in Nordic labour relations and movements.” · Pauli Kettunen, University of Helsinki

“The study of Léon Walras's contributions to economics has long been handicapped by the absence of English-language translations of Walras's major works. With the publication of this new translation of his Études d'économie sociale, we now have in English all three of Walras's major works and so have a far more complete picture of the depth and breadth of Walras's contributions. All students of the history of economics owe a debt of gratitude to Professors van Daal and Walker for their painstaking work in bringing this volume to publication.”
Steven G. Medema, Professor of Economics at the University of Colorado at Denver 
"Studies in Social Economics, the English translation of Walras’ Études d’économie sociale, brings the normative element of Walras’ social theory to bear on his economics. The emerging picture is of extreme interest in the context of the standard presentation of equilibrium theory, particularly with respect to Walras’ deep concern with the question of social justice. This book casts serious doubts on whether it makes sense to divorce descriptive from normative economics. There is a lot to be learend from it, and it relates also to the current financial and economic crisis."
