'For a student who takes a keen interest in dispute processes, the work of Palmer and Roberts offered great insights into the academic discussion. The work not only is helpful to my studies, but has fundamentally redefined the way I see dispute processes and resolutions. In particular, I applaud Palmer and Roberts's tremendous effort in drawing readers' attention beyond dispute processes and resolution as formalised by Western legal systems, and presenting a wide picture of ADR, which has always been part of human society.'

&ldquo;Read the stories. Read the novels. Just read Hrabal.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;John Yargo, The Millions&ldquo;Hrabal is a most sophisticated novelist, with a gusting humour and a hushed tenderness of detail.&rdquo; &mdash;Julian Barnes&ldquo;Hrabal&rsquo;s comedy is completely paradoxical. Holding in balance limitless desire and limited satisfaction, it is both rebellious and fatalistic, restless and wise.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;James Wood&ldquo;Czechoslovakia&rsquo;s greatest living writer.&rdquo; &mdash;Milan Kundera&#160;&ldquo;Hrabal, to my mind, is one of the greatest living European prose writers.&rdquo; &mdash;Philip Roth&#160;&ldquo;Hrabal combines good humour and hilarity with tenderness and a tragic sense of his country&rsquo;s history.&rdquo; &mdash;The Observer&#160;&ldquo;There are pages of queer magic unlike anything currently being done with words.&rdquo; &mdash;The Guardian&#160;&#160;&ldquo;A magnificent author.&rdquo; &mdash;The Independent&#160;Praise for&#160;Dancing Lessons for the Advanced in Age&#160;(NYRB Classics)&#160;&#160;&ldquo;Dancing Lessons&#160;unfurls as a single, sometimes maddening sentence. The gambit works. Something about that slab of wordage carries the eye forward, promising an intensity simply unattainable by your regularly punctuated novel.&rdquo; &mdash;Ed Park,&#160;The New York Times Book Review&#160;&ldquo;What Hrabal has created is an informal history of the indomitable Czech spirit. And perhaps...the human spirit.&rdquo; &mdash;The Times&#160;(London)

And he&rsquo;s done it with grace, sensitivity and a cinematic eye for detail that makes&#160;"Fly Girls" both exhilarating and heartbreaking.&rdquo; &mdash;USA Today &ldquo;Mr. O&rsquo;Brien, a former reporter for the Boston Globe working in the tradition of &lsquo;Hidden Figures&rsquo; and &lsquo;The Girls of Atomic City,&rsquo; has recovered a fascinating chapter not just in feminism and aviation but in 20th-century American history.&rdquo; &mdash;Wall Street Journal&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;A riveting account that puts us in the cockpit with Amelia Earhart and other brave women who took to the skies in the unreliable flying machines of the &rsquo;20s and &rsquo;30s.&rdquo; &mdash;People Magazine  &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s call it the Hidden Figures rule: If there&rsquo;s a part of the past you thought was exclusively male, you&rsquo;re probably wrong. Case in point are these stories of Amelia Earhart and other female pilots who fought to fly.&rdquo;&mdash;Time&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;This book ends like a perfect landing, taking its place in readers&rsquo; hearts just like the women at its core took their place in history.&rdquo;&mdash;The Coil&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; &ldquo;Keith O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s spectacularly detailed Fly Girls [recreates] a world that can still inspire us today.&rdquo;&mdash;BookPage&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; &ldquo;[An] engrossing mix of group biography and technology history.&rdquo;&mdash;Nature&#160;&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; &ldquo;[A] page-turner that will make you appreciate just how soaring the spirit of women has always been.&rdquo;&mdash;MindBodyGreen&nbsp;&nbsp;"Fly Girls&#160;is an inspiring and insightful story of five courageous women who risked their lives and made a place for women in the male-dominated field of aviation. Keith O&rsquo;Brien has shone a light on the forgotten struggle of women for equality as well as the little-known aspect of aviation history.&#160;Fly Girls&#160;is as much about the courageous female pilots as it is about the history of aviation. This meticulously researched and brilliantly written book brings those brave aviators to life. Keith O&rsquo;Brien has filled the holes in scholarship about women&rsquo;s struggle and aviation." &mdash;Washington Book Review &ldquo;O&#39;Brien details in crisp and engaging writing how his subjects came to love aviation, along with their struggles and victories with flying, the rampant sexism they experienced, and the hard choices they faced regarding work and family.

"Daniel Bernstrom's complete joy in the English language is married to an equally complete understanding of what makes children laugh. This sticky, fuzzy, action-packed tongue-twister will delight readers as young as 8 months old, while inspiring seven year-olds to write poetry, since he&rsquo;s made it look so fun. I have been reading Bernstrom&rsquo;s work with delight for a good while. Expect this one to become a beloved classic."&#160;&#160; &#160;&mdash; Emily Jenkins, author of A Greyhound, a Groundhog and Harry Versus the First One Hundred Days of School

'Alliances and Co-Evolution' is referenced multiple times in one of the leading strategy text books, 'Exploring Corporate Strategy' 8th Edition, by Johnson, Scholes and Whittington. Dr ul-Haq's book has also been praised by John Burton, Lord Harris, Farok Contractor and John Child.

'Much of the - now vast - literature on business alliances has focused upon globalized mass manufacturing industries or upon hi-tech sectors. This book is a refreshing change in that it looks at the 'Age of alliances'' through the lens of a traditional service sector: banking. Serious students and practitioners of banking/finance, and of strategic management, would be well advised to read it...' - Professor John Burton, Author, formerly Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham, UK

'In this extremely well-presented monograph, the author, Dr ul-Haq, generously shares with fellow-students as well as with advanced practitioners the rich fruits of his extensive reading, theoretical understanding and penetrating practical insights...The result is an exciting presentation of the unsuspected ways that Adam Smith's apparently simple precept of the division of labour leads on to varied and intricate patterns of collaboration between otherwise independent companies.' - Lord Harris of High Cross, Cross Bench Member of the House of Lords, Former Founding Chairman of the Institute of Economic Affairs, UK

'Dr Rehan ul-Haq has published a unique book that combines considerable detail about banking operations and inter-bank alliances with an exhaustive coverage of theory on inter-firm cooperation... A deep, scholarly monograph which will be appreciated by students of inter-organizational cooperation, the book could also be highly rewarding to the erudite banker or strategist. - Farok J. Contractor, Professor of International Management, Rutgers Business School, USA

'Dr ul-Haq's book provides a penetrating analysis of strategic alliances informed by his considerable knowledge of the banking sector. His wide review of the literature is of great help to students, while the insights he offers on how alliances evolve over time fill significant gaps in our knowledge.' - John Child, Professor of Commerce, Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham, UK

"Gripping." &mdash;People, "Best New Books, June"&nbsp;&nbsp; "Page-turner pacing...Combustible...The tensions between predators and prey &mdash; and how quickly one can become the other &mdash; haunt the novel, from its ominous beginning to its heartrending conclusion. But Kauffman also deftly crafts moments of great tenderness and light throughout, reminding us that memory endures and life perseveres, even after a harrowing and grievous loss." &mdash;The Charleston Post and Courier&nbsp;&nbsp; "Rebecca Kauffman has long been one of my favorite writers, and The House on Fripp Island is her best novel yet. The story of two very different families brought together for an unlikely vacation that takes a dangerous turn, Kauffman&#39;s latest is a rare and gripping combination of gloriously observed prose and three hundred pages of pure suspense. I loved it." &mdash;Julie Buntin, author of Marlena&nbsp;&nbsp; "A novel full of secrets set in a stunning beach house is my definition of a perfect summer read. I was stunned by the twists and turns of Rebecca Kauffman&#39;s masterful novel, The House on Fripp Island. Bring plenty of sunscreen when you take this book to the beach...you&#39;ll be reading all day long."&mdash;Amanda Eyre Ward, author of The Jetsetters&nbsp;&nbsp; "A sharp, modern story about the wilderness of family life."&mdash;Adrienne Celt, author of Invitation to a Bonfire and The Daughter&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Kauffman&rsquo;s keen, atmospheric follow-up to&#160;The Gunners&#160;explores class, friendship, and dark family secrets&hellip;inevitably, events spiral to a shocking conclusion. Kauffman&rsquo;s characters leap off the page&hellip;Readers will devour this suspenseful summer drama.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&nbsp;&nbsp;"Our assumptions about whose tensions, desires, rages, and shy longings might erupt into murder are provoked and reversed right up until the final pages, when the mystery of Fripp Island is revealed...An entertaining and ultimately tender book."&mdash;Kirkus&nbsp;&nbsp; "The tensions between the haves and the have-nots offer an insight into contemporary America...In watchful prose by turns powerful and delicate, the action builds to an event as inevitable as it was unpredictable. Gripping." &mdash;The Sunday Times&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; "Suspenseful...While the fault lines...allow for plenty of tart observations on marital disenchantment, Kaufmann spins a secondary, far more disconcerting story about the toxic power of suspicion and rumour. A smart summer read."&mdash;The Daily Mail&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; "Under the guise of a skilful domestic whodunnit Rebecca Kauffman has produced a disturbing novel for our times."&mdash;Shots Magazine&nbsp;&nbsp; "Readers will be drawn into a smart, keenly-observed look at family dynamics as they try to figure out which of the eight characters was speaking from the grave in this atmospheric beach read."&#160;&mdash;Amazon Book Review

&ldquo;Pearlman&rsquo;s enthusiasm&#160;for&#160;his subject is infectious . . .

Luckily, Jeff Pearlman&rsquo;s Football for a Buck&#160;offers a blueprint for change&#160;. . .&#160;The book will also please readers who sip bad ink about Donald Trump as if it were the finest wine.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Wall Street Journal&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Engrossing, eerily relevant.&rdquo; &mdash;Time.com&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Every&#160;bit as fantastic as you&rsquo;d expect a Pearlman book to be, and you honestly don&rsquo;t need to have spent time as a devoted USFL fan (as Jeff and I both were) to enjoy.&rdquo;&mdash;Mike Vaccaro, New York Post&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;A&#160;wonderful, thorough, insightful look at a deeply weird moment in American football history. And it&rsquo;s also a primer of sorts for this current deeply weird moment in American political history.&rdquo; &mdash;Yahoo! Sports&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Every&#160;bit as fantastic as you&rsquo;d expect a Pearlman book to be, and you honestly don&rsquo;t need to have spent time as a devoted USFL fan (as Jeff and I both were) to enjoy.&rdquo;&mdash;Mike Vaccaro, New York Post&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Tells in delightful detail the story of a long-gone pro football league. To call it just a sports book, though, sells it way short. Football for a Buck far transcends other sports books, making it contemporary and fun for anybody to read . . . The book is nothing less than painstakingly thorough, with dozens of zany and colorful stories about players and executives in a renegade league that quickly made its mark, frightening the mighty NFL . . . It is a thorough, funny, fascinating, and entertaining sports book.&rdquo;&mdash;Forbes.com&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;As we&rsquo;ve come to expect from Jeff Pearlman&rsquo;s books, Football for a Buck is deeply reported, deftly told, smart, hilarious, sad, riveting &mdash; and prescient. Through the stories of USFL businessmen, coaches, benchwarmers, and stars who later became household names &mdash; Steve Young, Jim Kelly, Herschel Walker, and yes, Donald Trump &mdash; Pearlman captures the troubled lavishness of mid-80s America and foreshadows so many of the issues that professional football &mdash; and the country &mdash; are experiencing today. Oh, and there&rsquo;s a lot of sex and drugs.&rdquo; &mdash;Seth Wickersham, ESPN The Magazine senior writer&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; &ldquo;If foreshadowing was passing yards this book would be Jim Kelly. A definitive history of a wild and wooly football league fondly remembered three decades after its demise;&#160;but also a definitive preview to the 45th president.&rdquo; &mdash;L. Jon Wertheim, Sports Illustrated&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;When I started this book, I wasn&rsquo;t interested in the USFL. By the time I fished it, I wanted a sequel, a USFL movie, and Tampa Bay Bandits action figures. Jeff Pearlman&rsquo;s joy for this wild old league is contagious as hell. Great read. I&rsquo;m in. GO MAULERS!!&rdquo; &mdash;Kyle Brandt, cohost of NFL Network&rsquo;s Good Morning Football&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Wonderful anecdotes . . . Fascinating and hilarious reading on a half-dozen levels. Just great for football fans who like to laugh.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist, starred review
