"Jim Twombly has written a comprehensive text on the presidency that can assist any professor seeking a book that undergraduates will find accessible and informative. Twombly presents the presidency through the development of the institution and the contribution of the individuals who have occupied the office. Extensive details on the foundation of the office, elections, and governance are complemented with a unique focus on the role of the capacity and character of the person who holds the office. Twombly's extensive use of historical examples assists the review of political science research in each of the major topics covered. Through these examples, he offers an undergraduate reader a window into the men who made the office and the decisions (good and bad) they make that affect us all." - Barbara Headrick, Professor of Political Science, Minnesota State University, Moorhead, USA

"Twombly's book offers a cogent, well-written overview of the American presidency that is highly suitable for undergraduate/graduate courses or for anyone seeking a readable, comprehensive review of the executive office. In clear and direct prose, Twombly surveys the evolution of the executive branch, uniting specific historical and contemporary illustrations with the broader, relevant political science research. The book provides a solid, comprehensive overview of the presidency with a specific focus on the evolution of the office, and the transformation of the modern American president." - Lisa Parshall, Associate Professor of Political Science, Daemen College, USA

"From topics ranging from presidential selection to the public presidency, Twombly's Progression of the American Presidency engages its readers and challenges them to think critically about the topic at hand and how it relates to the modern presidency. Academically sound, informative, and quite enjoyable, this is an impressive work from a topnotch scholar and professor." - Joshua Meddaugh, Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Pittsburgh, Bradford, USA

“SlutWalk … is an important contribution to feminist (social) media activism. I recommend the book for scholars interested in researching media representations of feminism and political activism mobilizing via social media platforms. It can also be of interest for educators who would like to introduce their graduate students to the particular steps of research design in feminist media studies. … it is a valuable contribution to the recording of women’s place in the twenty-first century history of social activism.” (Barát Erzsébet, Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies, Vol. 22 (2), Fall, 2016)“The author has written an accessible, well-organized, and meticulously researched book that will introduce readers to the SlutWalk movement, as well as provide a broader critique of rape culture, and much needed empirical data on the dynamics of contemporary global social movement mobilization–feminist or otherwise. … an important contribution to future scholarship for feminism and social movements.” (Victoria O’Meara, Feminist Media Studies, 2016)“Kaitlynn Mendes’ book SlutWalk: Feminism, Activism and Media examines the global antirape movement ‘SlutWalk’ and its coverage in the feminist blogosphere and mainstream media. … Mendes’ monograph has the potential to serve feminist activist groups and antirape activists around the globe by providing contextual and applicable information on a type of march that so many were probably involved in themselves. … As for its use by academics, the book would be ideal for undergraduate or graduate classes … .” (Giuliana Sorce, International Journal of Communication, Vol. 10 (4), 2016)“The target audience is most likely those already familiar with feminism, or the SlutWalk movement, but anyone interested in these concepts would find the book appealing. The book works well in the classroom covering topics related to media, communication, feminism, activism and women’s rights and it displays one way in which a small grass movement initiated through social media can become a global phenomenon reaching millions of people and inspiring activism.” (Hennie Weiss, metapsychology, Vol. 19 (51), December, 2015)

“While Maimonides, like Aristotle, insists that poetry is
below history, and history is below the sciences, of which ma’aseh Merkavah
(metaphysics) is the highest of the sciences, Sheer reveals, in this first annotated
translation, the highly literary aspect of Maimonides’ elegantly rhymed epistle
to the scholars of Lunel. … Sheer unpacks the complex allusions to Biblical and
Midrashic sources in Rambam’s rhymed letter, and its ideas in the context of Maimonides’
oeuvre, so we not only gain a better appreciation of Rambam’s genius, but the
tensions in Rambam’s mind between Torah study and the hokmah (sciences).
… &nbsp;Sheer provides a careful, detailed,
in-depth textual analysis of the 59-line poetic letter. Sheer’s thoughtful
insights reveal what is at stake for the Rambam with regards to the dialectic
between Torah and science, philosophy and poetry, supernatural divine
revelation [beyond the mind’s limits] and reason. Recommended for all
libraries.” —AJL Reviews"This short volume is most certainly for a niche of scholars who specialize in the study of Maimonides. And though it is written in scholarly fashion with copious endnotes, I believe it is accessible to any careful reader desiring a better understanding of the man. And this is very appropriate since Maimonides, at the time of the writing of this letter, was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of masses of people." —Tom Edmondson, Senior Pastor, First Christian Church of Atlanta,&nbsp;Reading Religion

"Based on her sure command of the romance novels written since 1908, Kamble elucidates both 'romance' and 'novel' to offer a theory that unlocks the genre's depiction of ideological struggles involving post-industrial capitalism, patriotic warfare, heteronormativity, and racial anxiety. In her analysis, the romance novel emerges as a record of the most pressing public debates of the last century. Clearly written, equally at ease in its offering of theoretical insight and close reading, Making Meaning in Popular Romance Fiction: An Epistemology is a must-read." - Pamela Regis, Professor of English, McDaniel College, USA, and author of A Natural History of the Romance Novel  "'The hero carries the book,' romance novelist Laura Kinsale declared in the early 1990s. Jayashree Kamble's groundbreaking study tracks enduring hero types - the capitalist, the wounded warrior, the racial or paranormal Other, the ostentatiously heterosexual male - across the 20th and early 21st centuries, showing how they and the romance genre evolve and adapt to social change. Sharp-eyed readings of over a dozen British and American authors situate their novels in political history (Thatcherism, the war on terror, battles for LGBT rights) and the emergence of a globalized romance publishing industry. Smart, insightful, and provocative, this book is full of discoveries." - Eric Murphy Selinger, Professor of English, DePaul University, USA, and Executive Editor of the Journal of Popular Romance Studies  "In a cogent and convincing argument and drawing on a wide variety of examples, Jayashree Kamble adds significantly to our understanding of the resilience, flexibility, and relevance of the popular romance novel. By focusing on the figure of the hero and demonstrating how the romance novel portrays and manages changing social concerns over time, Kamble situates the popular romance in its cultural, critical, and aesthetic context." - Kay Mussell, Professor Emerita of Literature, American University, USA
