Understanding the Apostolic

'We increasingly know how rising India views the world but not enough about how the world, especially the non-Western world, sees India. These timely essays, written by an array of regional experts, are a terrific addition to the scholarship on India's place in international life.' - Kanti Bajpai, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Singapore

'Dr Sullivan and her contributors are to be applauded for offering us these fresh and stimulating interpretations of India's role in global politics. The deliberate focus on non-Western views of India on issues that are of importance to these mostly middle-range states adds significantly to the growing body of work that rightly aims to promote an understanding of international relations and history that is truly global in focus.' - Rosemary Foot, St Antony's College, University of Oxford, UK

'The story of India's rise has so far been told by New Delhi and by Washington, or conveyed with their concerns in mind. This book lets us hear other voices - from Africa, East Asia, Latin America and the Middle East - speak about India's growing global ambitions. Innovative and sagacious, it is essential reading for all analysts concerned with how rising powers are shaping contemporary international relations.' - Ian Hall, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia

“The book is quite readable and can be used as a textbook for the application of mathematical theory in the area of econometrics. Also, a mathematician might benefit from an intuitive exposition of some different and specific types of integration appearing in the theory of stochastic processes. The book might then serve as starting point for a more detailed study of the mathematical foundation of the topics presented.” (Ludger Overback, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2016)“The book covers both discrete and continuous time stochastic processes, and it is of course in the second area where mathematical intricacies abound. … All this is very much up to date and provides a most useful introduction to modern time series methods for anybody wishing to understand the mechanics without having to dig too deep into the mathematical foundations.” (Walter Krämer, Statistics Papers, Vol. 57, 2016)“The construction of this book is based on the author experience of 15 years of teaching stochastic processes and calculus. … book is therefore a very successful work on the task of providing the largest number of readers an introduction to stochastic processes and calculus simultaneously accessible and rigorous, with a wide exemplification of applications in various fields. Very important for readers in the fields of mathematics, finance and econometrics and also in biology, engineering or physics, but not only.” (Prof. Dr. Manuel Alberto M. Ferreira, Acta Scientiae et Intellectus, Vol. 2 (2), 2016)

“This is an extraordinary piece of work that should be read by every mental health professional, minimally. The book might also serve well as a supplemental advanced undergraduate or graduate textbook in a psychopathology or even a research methods class. Where research methods courses separate good from bad science, Whitaker and Cosgrove have now provided us with numerous examples of bad science to which we can now add, corrupt science.” (Fred Ernst, Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy, Vol. 46, 2016)

"After three decades of anti-corruption activism that has produced only modest results, it is time to reassess key aspects of reform thinking. Andersson and Anechiarico launch that process by distinguishing between exchange and governance corruption, identifying causes and consequences of those problems, and spelling out political and institutional challenges of reform in a realistic yet positive fashion. In the process they identify core dynamics of corruption that are visible in a variety of settings, and show how lasting reform requires not just punishing misconduct but rather building better relationships between state and society."—Michael Johnston, Charles A. Dana Professor of Political Science, Emeritus, Colgate University
"Distinguishing 'governance corruption' from 'exchange corruption' makes a new, important and stimulating contribution to scholarship about corruption and policy making directed at corruption control. A valuable book that is a must read for corruption scholars highly accessible for students. Bravo."—James B. Jacobs, Chief Justice Warren E. Burger Professor of Law, New York University
"The authors have created something extraordinary:a popular book on corruption! Engaging and accessible content from an international perspective, with original case studies sure to spark discussion, this is a book for students of corruption at every level. The contemporary focus and broad overview make this an on-point and dynamic learning resource."—Carole L. Jurkiewicz, Ph.D., University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
"Andersson and Anechiarico's Corruption and Corruption Control represents a major achievement not only in the literature on corruption but in the study of political cultures more generally. Their democratic approach is laudable in itself but it also drives home the need for vigilance against the ideas that corruption is always simple graft and that cultural and ethical dysfunctions can be solved through coercive force alone."—Dr. Ciarán O'Kelly, Queen's University Belfast

"For those interested in how citizenship and national belonging are being reimagined under neoliberal globalization, Kanishka Chowdhury provides an enormously detailed account of the emerging Indian dispensation. This is an insightful study from a meticulous reader of the cultural landscape." - Arvind Rajagopal, Professor of Media Studies, New York University and author of Politics After Television: Hindu Nationalism and the Reshaping of the Public in India

"The New India deals with a timely subject - the emergence of new forms of subjectivity and citizenship in the context of India's economic policy of liberalization. The book is impressive in the wide ranging issues and questions Chowdhury links and analyzes. The author makes an important contribution to the scholarship on postcolonial studies and contemporary cultural politics in India." - Leela Fernandes, Professor of Women's Studies and Political Science, University of Michigan and author of India s New Middle Class

"This is a timely and engaging study which provides an historicized account of the relationship between economic 'globalization', attempts to reimagine a New Indian subject and narratives of change, both literary and social. Chowdhury offers a thoughtful contribution to studies of the colonial and postcolonial present which must necessarily now involve questions of global capitalism and its modes of dispossession and disenfranchisement." - Priyamvada Gopal, University Senior Lecturer in Postcolonial and Related Literatures at Cambridge University and author of The Indian Novel in English: Nation, History and Narration

"By charting the modes of temporality structuring post-1960s women's popular fiction, Elliott offers an illuminating way of articulating the narratives of second-wave feminism to evolving conceptions of capitalist America. Her argument that these narratives are, first and foremost, national allegories gives them a refreshing intelligibility and historical agency. It's the kind of argument with which, whether or not they agree with her, future generations of scholars will need to reckon." - Rey Chow, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, Brown University and author of Sentimental Fabulations, Contemporary Chinese Films

"In this impressive debut, Jane Elliott revisits a fascinating passage in recent American culture, when feminism could advance through popular fiction and critical theory alike. She examines a series of novels both famous and forgotten, unfolding their allegorical layers to show how they speak directly to the changing contours of domination and liberation in women s lives. The book offers timely lessons, not only about the renewable resources of popular cultural forms, but also about the value of allegorical reading for contemporary critical practice." - Richard Dienst, Department of English, Rutgers University

The book is well written, and students certainly find it understandable. I think the book appropriately does not assume that students have a background on this information and does a good job explaining whole concepts. I have used a version of Tarr's book for over fifteen years and the revisions for the seventh edition are really spot on. I especially like the change to “A Crisis in the Legal Profession.” I am now the director of our prelaw program and I am incorporating much more of the law school and legal profession components to my course curriculum. 
-- Kathryn DePalo, Florida International University 
I like the organization and the flow of the book. I also find the writing to be quite good. And I think it keeps current as much as is possible with a textbook—important for student interest.
