"China’s rise is the most important geopolitical issue today. Yet,it is difficult to find clear, comprehensive, analysis of how China has emerged with such force onto the world stage. This book, therefore, fills a much-needed gap as it covers China’s materialization as a great power since 1949, and, crucially, covers Beijing's assertive foreign policy since the Xi Jinping era. Theoretically and historically grounded, it is the most complete, yet compact and readable, work on the subject. It will become the indispensable work on China's foreign policy."

M. L. R. Smith, Professor of Strategic Theory, King's College London, author of Year of the Bat: Globalization, China and the Coronavirus (London: Civitas, 2020,with Niall McCrae)
"This book represents a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to China’s foreign policy. The most outstanding feature of this book is its historical approach that not only analyzes the changes and continuities in China’s foreign policy, but also gives insight into the linkage between China’s increasingly expansive foreign policy and the historical context of China’s rise. This thoughtfully written book should be essential reading for scholars, students, and policymakers."
Dong Zhang, Assistant Professor, Division of Social Science, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
"By placing China’s rise in the context of its enduring security challenges since 1949, this comprehensive and accessible survey will guide students to a sound understanding of China’s foreign policy and its meaning for its regional neighbors and for the rest of the world."

&#147;&#145;Smart&#8217; is definitely the right word for this thoughtful, well-researched, and practical guide to the female side of polyamory.&#8221; &#151;Janet W. Hardy, coauthor, The Ethical Slut"More than just a 'glimpse into a world outside the status quo,' Dedeker Wilson&#8217;s new book The Smart Girl&#8217;s Guide to Polyamory guides readers on a sassy romp through introducing and defining polyamory, to finding out what others have said about it, and ending up outside the classroom, the closet, and the norm. Witty and substantial at the same time, this is the perfect book for anyone seeking an informative and entertaining 'alternative education on love.'" &#151;Elisabeth Sheff, author of The Polyamorists Next Door, Stories from the Polycule, and When Someone you Love is Polyamorous"Behind the modern polyamory movement is a deeper concept: relationship choice. Dedeker Winston explains, with wit and insight, how you can shed society's off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all relationship model and successfully design your own. You and your partner, or partners, can build your intimate lives together in new ways that work best for all of you&#151; ethically, honestly, and with mutual care and understanding. . . ."Women are leading this movement, and Winston is one of the smartest. As she tells from experience, it won't be easy. Designer relationships require extraordinary communication, self-insight, and good hearts all around. And a fearless embrace of agency and autonomy, in both yourself and others. The poly community's collective wisdom&#151;hard-earned through sometimes bitter experience -- will be a huge aid in avoiding known pitfalls and not re-inventing wheels. Whether you end up choosing 'conscious monogamy' or one of the many types of ethical nonmonogamy, this book will point you right." &#151;Alan MacRobert, Polyamory in the News &ldquo;Written with women in mind, Winston&rsquo;s book is a colorfully written manual for anyone who&rsquo;s curious about what polyamory does and doesn&rsquo;t mean, or who&rsquo;s realizing that traditional relationships may not be for them." &#8212;Inverse

"Lulu is the type of heroine who is the exact opposite of charming. She is exasperating, tiring, and thinks she is oh-so-clever. This third Lulu book has the heroine meeting her match in a babysitter who is anything but ordinary. . . . Viorst has always exercised a light, droll touch, and this latest will suit fans of her other humorous early chapter books. Cornell&#8217;s illustrations stretch and squish the characters to suit their high-strung antics, while also emphasizing the tall-tale flavor of the adventure&#8212;surely Lulu is a match for those legendary heroes if she can successfully transform into a cow (which she can!)."

But what he [Professor Sparrow] has accomplished, and it is no small thing, is to show how the Roosevelt administration induced people to buy bonds, pay extremely high taxes, and otherwise support the war effort with a minimum of coercion and a maximum of coaxing.

’The book offers a much needed link between careful ethnography of local Roma communities and a study of the European Roma political movement in its transnational context. Ioana Bunescu skilfully presents the complex plurality of contemporary Roma identities as a multidimensional, negotiated process of political resistance and cultural hybridization. An inspiring voice in the ongoing debates on Roma and on identity.’  Slawomir Kapralski, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland and Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies, Austria  ’This is an important work on the topical issue of collective identity construction among Roma in Europe. Valuable empirical insights are provided through an innovative multi-sited methodological approach involving extensive fieldwork. The author’s interviews with Roma Kings render a unique contribution to the extant literature.’ Bo Petersson, MalmÃ¶ University, Sweden
