From the book reviews:“The subject of this book is an important one for new generations of astronomers. … The book would be an excellent foundation for a postgraduate course, and it is clear that students who completed it successfully and are inspired by the subject would be well-equipped for research. … Professor Maciel’s book is a fine addition to the astronomical literature and should be found along with those volumes on the shelves of all astronomical libraries.” (David A. Williams, The Observatory, Vol. 134 (1240), June, 2014)

"... the most thorough attempt to understand pregnancy available. It speaks particularly to the issue, whether we should understand pregnancy as a normal episode in the life of a woman, or some sort of alien intrusion, as Judith Jarvis Thomson does in her defense of abortion. Anyone interested in the abortion issue, or any of the other biomedical and social issues surrounding human reproduction, should read it carefully. All earlier work on the abortion issue, including my Ethics of Homicide and David Boonin's widely admired Defense of Abortion could be improved by a consideration of Watt's work." – Philip E. Devine
"Watt's monograph will be of most interest to readers interested in a brief, wide ranging coverage of topics of moral significance connected with conception, pregnancy and childbirth that articulates a point of view often closely aligned with Catholic scholars, but without making reference to specifically religious ideas or claims." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"... a fascinating and frustrating book ... Watt is asking vitally important questions that tend to be side-lined in mainstream bioethics." – Anna Smajdor, BioNews
"The insights of this book are profoundly important ... Especially innovative is the explication of four ways to view pregnancy, namely, the uni-personal, the neighborly, the maternal, and the spousal...Highly recommended." – R. Mary Hayden Lemmons
"Though I suspect few will agree with Watt on every point, she makes her arguments clearly and carefully and within this relatively short volume she explores a wide range of issues some of which I have never seen discussed anywhere else. Most readers will find something to challenge existing views and to stimulate fresh thought about the ethics of pregnancy." – Trevor Stammers, The New Bioethics
"Helen Watt has written a brave and provocative book—one sure to shake up many people’s closely held ‘certainities’ about the ethical issues surrounding pregnancy. In a style that is at once both accessible and rigorous, Watt addresses dimensions of human reproduction and pregnancy that have been heretofore ignored or shortchanged. One may disagree with some of Watt’s conclusions, but she has shown us what it will take to develop a morally consistent and thorough view about the complexities of our social and mammalian nature." – Susan Dwyer, University of Maryland, USA

“The Empire’s New Clothes is a hard-hitting, clear-eyed look at the reality of the Democrats in power and the Barack Obama presidency. Anyone who hoped for genuine change, and is disappointed that it has not come since 2008, should read this book and discuss how to rebuild a genuine social movement that can end the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the tyranny of capital over our lives and the planet.”

"Argumentation is not simply contradiction of other viewpoints (as it plays out in many classrooms); it is, rather, an intricate, intriguing, and structured dance of ideas. This book shows how to nurture productive and civilized argumentation in the broader interests of informed and tolerant discourse." —Teaching Theology and Religion

Empowering Students to Write and Re-write

'In this very fine book, Nicola Healey raises and resolves a number of issues that will be of great interest to students of Hartley Coleridge and Dorothy Wordsworth, and to Romantic scholars more generally. The close readings, which are consistently excellent, take issue with a number of critics, from Derwent Coleridge and Thomas De Quincey through to twentieth- and twenty-first-century commentators. Healey thoroughly understands the various factors that limited these critics' perceptions at the times they were writing, and she anatomises the wrongness of some literary-critical habits that have gone on for too long. This book builds beautifully on the work of other scholars, and many ideas are handled genially and skilfully. Healey maintains cohesion with the growing multiplicity of the insights throughout the book, providing a vital new perspective on collaboration including all the tensions this entails. Arguably, however, the main achievement of this book is in its sensitivity to Hartley's and Dorothy's finest writings.' - Andrew Keanie, Lecturer in English, University of Ulster, UK

Received honourablementionfor The Society for the Study of English Book Awards 2016, Literatures in the English Language, Category A
Shortlisted for the 2017 Allan Lloyd Smith Memorial Prize for Gothic Criticism awarded by the International Gothic Association (for a standout monograph published in 2015 and 2016).

'This study focuses on the relationship between the late 18th c. and early 19th c. Gothic novel and the stage. Saggini has carried out extensive research and has detected an impressive number of sources that record stage appropriations of Gothic novels. The book is dedicated to a highly neglected Romantic genre, i.e. drama, in a manner which combines structuralist analysis with contextual historical understanding. Saggini writes lucidly in a style that will appeal to readers also outside academia, and the book contains brilliant illustrations as well as clear overviews in table form. In sum, this is a significant work of admirable scholarship, thoroughly researched and admirably documented, offering valuable insights into the eighteenth-century culture.' - The European Society for the Study of English
'Saggini's articulation is clear, and her reasoning is innovative and complex… Saggini has researched her topic deeply, and the resulting book represents a thoughtful analysis of the practices and negotiations activated by the Gothic stage.' - Emily Hodgson Anderson, University of Southern California, Review 19
'By guiding the reader through the history and development of Gothic drama in the early sections of the book, Saggini effectively sets the scene of the genre’s background, before convincingly putting forward her argument that through a cultural network of stage theatricals and novel-writing, Gothic dramas inspired Gothic novelists.” - Sarah A. Winter, Studies in Gothic Fiction, Volume 4
"Saggini successfully intertwines two different genres: the novel and the stage play and discusses topics such as authorship, readership and audience. Her study is thoroughly researched and presented containing crucial facts for the reader…. a very valuable [study] for everyone who is interested in the Gothic and Theatre, stage lighting, special effects and beyond." Nora Olsen, The Dark Arts Journal. New and Emerging Voices In Gothic Studies, April 2017
"Saggini … offer[s] an insightful, detailed, and interesting academic study … Since [she] provides an in-depth look at the historical and cultural context around the appropriation of the Gothic stage drama during the late 1700s, the book will be a very accessible resource to readers with limited knowledge of the topic or the texts." Blair Speakman, Aeternum: The Journal of Contemporary Gothic Studies, 3:2, 2016, pp. 72-73
"The first part of the book offers short overviews of contemporary critical reactions and modern criticism of Gothic drama before turning to a model of appropriation that sees the Gothic as an interform: intertextual, intertheatrical (as plays bounce off other pieces on the evening playbill and performances at other theatres), generically hybrid ("intergenericity", p. 137), and remediated. Saggini thus works to re-theorize the sometimes-odd ways in which Gothic texts seem to beg, borrow, or steal whatever they need". - Jeffrey Cox, Studies in English Literature 1500-1900. "The Nineteenth Century" 56, 4 (2016), pp. 951-52

From the reviews:“This book comprises a collection of four research papers the author prepared during his time as a Ph.D. student at University of Vienna. … Using simple queueing models, this thesis aims at deriving analytical expressions for performance measures and insights derived from those. It will inspire future work on production control and manufacturing systems design with a particular emphasis on customer requirements. This book summarizes state-of-the-art insights to capacity and inventory planning and will be useful to students and practitioners.” (P. R. Parthasarathy, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2014)
