Shortlisted for the Saltire Society Research Book of the Year Award 2014  ’The so-called Later Highland Land Wars" have long awaited systematic analysis. No longer. Robertson’s study transforms our understanding of the causes, form and consequences of agitation over the access to land in the post-1914 Scottish Highlands. Blending conceptual innovation, oral history, and subtle readings of the archive, this is a critical landmark in protest history.’  Carl Griffin, University of Sussex, UK  ’Skilfully interrogating rich archival sources, Iain Robertson reveals the extent and significance of rural protest in Highland Scotland after 1914 - protest led by men who, having fought for their country, were now fighting for their land. This is an insightful book about landscape and power, memory and morality, politics and resistance.’ Charles W.J. Withers, University of Edinburgh, UK  'Robertson succeeds admirably in his aim of shedding new light on the geographies, causes, and legacies of the land wars, and the book is a valuable and original contribution to the reinvigorated field of protest studies'. Journal of Historical Geography  'The book is logically structured and well-written ... (its) clear strength lies in its telling of a social history of ordinary people and their everyday experiences of living in the borderlands ... The authors are to be commended for producing a significant contribution to scholarship in border studies, social history, and ethnographic approaches in human geography'. Journal of Historical Geography  'Iain Robertson brings new and intriguing perspectives to bear on the mechanics of land raiding and on the motivation of the people (many of them newly demobilised soldiers) who engaged in it. This he accomplishes, first, by meticulous analysis (founded on extensive archival research) of a whole series of separate raids and, second, by exploring the extent to which agrarian protest in the post-1918 Highlands and Islands conformed, or f

"This is an important and complex text that offers a new understanding of the body in psychoanalysis, drawing on both clinical and theoretical understandings, both Freudian and Lacanian. The reconsideration of somatization and symptom in this book opens new structures of plot for understanding the various itineraries of sexual desire and gender formation.This is an innovative and bracing work that opens up the links between psychoanalysis and literature in light of new understandings of sexuality and desire. "-Judith Butler, author of Gender Trouble andThe Psychic Life of Power
"Taking the body as a political and cultural 'archive,' Fernanda Magallanes’s clear and concise book accomplishes a noteworthy conceptual revolution. Psychoanalysis, the Body, and the Oedipal Plot thus questions the bread-and-butter issue of conventional psychoanalysis and disrupts the penis et circenses glibness of classical Oedipal theory."-Patricia Gherovici, psychoanalyst and author of Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference
"Through a close reading of psychoanalytic texts, Fernanda Magallanes makes Freud lie down on the couch of post-structural, feminist, queer, and trans theories. Paying attention to Freud’s use of the story of Oedipus and to his bodily specificities, Magallanes unveils the patriarchal foundations of the Freudian narrative of the Greek myth. Instead of getting rid of Oedipus, Magallanes’s interesting move is to save Oedipus from the Freudian 'norm,' giving him the chance to accept his own vulnerability and alterity. The result shakes the foundations both of psychoanalytic theory and practice. Magallanes's incisive essay deserves to play a central role in what I hope will become a movement of thought that will question the sexual and gender normativity of psychoanalytic discourses and practices."-Paul B. Preciado, author of Testo Junkie, The Countersexual Manifiesto and Pornotopia

A Critical Re-Imaging of the Body in Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis, the Body, and the Oedipal Plot

"[Gates's] tone is judicious and nonpartisan, and he grades all the administrations fairly according to his standards of professional competence. . . The familiar stories gain new life and interest when told by somebody who&rsquo;s been in the room where it happens. Gates says what he thinks and refuses to pull his punches and, as a result, the book offers in one volume the most accurate record available of recent American security policy, the most incisive critique of that policy and the most sensible guide to what should come next."&mdash;Gideon Rose, The New York Times Book Review&#160;"Few Americans have the depth and breadth of hands-on national security experience that Gates has. . . He&#160;skillfully blends the knowledge and discipline of a scholar with the hard-earned experience of a practitioner to produce a well-organized and superbly written book to lead America forward into a very different and challenging new world, and it is here that Gates&rsquo;s admonitions are most compelling."&mdash;Richard Moe, The Washington Post&#160;&#160;"While the book certainly offers the former defense chief&rsquo;s insights from being 'in the room,' I was most impressed by his thoughtfulness and clarity when it comes to the imperative for strengthening America&rsquo;s civilian toolkit.&#160;It&rsquo;s an impressive message for a former defense secretary of both Republican and Democratic administrations to make the first chapter of his book a clarion call on the failure to invest in our nation&rsquo;s civilian national security tools."&mdash;Liz Schrayer, President & CEO, U.S. Global Leadership Coalition"Accessible. . . This important work dives deep into the past three decades of American foreign policy to provide a realistic picture of how key policy decisions were crafted. Highly recommended for those wanting an examination of America&rsquo;s role within the global community."&mdash;Jacob Sherman, Library Journal, starred review"An incisive treatise. . . [Gates is] both a sharp critic of Washington D.C.'s policy-making bureaucracies and a shrewd analyst of the dilemmas they wrestle with. The result is a judicious yet bracingly contrarian take on military and foreign policy from the ultimate insider."&mdash;Publishers Weekly"Recent political leaders, Gates holds, have failed to understand and project American power properly. . . It's refreshing to see a secretary of defense call for the use of the military as a choice of last resort."&mdash;Kirkus&#160;"Powerful . . . timely. . . Everything [Gates has] consistently advocated &ndash; moderation of ambition; realistic expectations; recognition of the limitation of our military power; a desire for sensible long-term engagement &ndash; is on display in this volume as a cautionary tale. . . We are far from becoming a defeated or a declining power &ndash; but without the prescription that Secretary Gates lays out in Exerciser of Power, we might become one."&mdash;Admiral James Stavridis, author of Sailing True North&ldquo;In a time of global instability, perhaps our nation&rsquo;s most distinguished public servant, Robert M. Gates, has given us a compelling, thought-provoking, and much-needed assessment of how we got here&mdash;and what must be done to restore and extend the best of American power.&rdquo;&mdash;Jon Meacham, author of&#160;The Soul of America"The mastery with which Robert Gates wrestles with the fundamental question of the purposes to which America&rsquo;s global power should be used reveals an astonishing combination of strengths &mdash; a narrative gift that captivates the reader from start to finish, an insightful mind, and a profound wisdom that comes from his own experience and wide-ranging historical knowledge.&rdquo;&mdash;Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Leadership&ldquo;Exercise of Power is a timely, essential guide for all those committed to sustaining America&rsquo;s experiment in democracy. It should also be required reading for anyone engaged in crafting, influencing and (especially) executing American foreign policy. It is truly a page-turner.&rdquo;&mdash;General Jim Mattis, coauthor, Call Sign Chaos

Exercise of Power: American Failures, Successes, and a New Path Forward in the Post-Cold War World

"Ian Levy accepts hip-hop on its own terms. As a result, this book shows how hip-hop — its expressions and collective practices — can promote humane and whole counseling experiences for students. This book will expand the culturally responsive repertoire of school counselors and even classroom teachers."　
-- Emery Petchauer, Associate Professor, Michigan State University, USA.
"Dr. Levy offers us a vibrant, rigorous, and deeply meaningful understanding of the healing and humanizing power and potentials of hip hop culture. Rather than pose hip hop as a simplistic intervention, by inviting students into healing spaces on their own terms, Dr. Levy reminds us of the knowledge of self and pedagogies of care hip hop embodies. This book presents elegantly researched and practical approaches to counseling for the hip hop generation. Clearly an invaluable resource for therapists, counselors, and educators and anyone interested in hip hop, youth, and culturally relevant approaches to education. A game changer."
-- Michael B. Dando, Assistant Professor of English, St. Cloud State University, USA.
"As counseling interventions continue to evolve, now more than ever before, school counselors are creating culturally responsive environments to meet students in their spaces and places. Dr. Ian Levy’s Hip Hop and Spoken Word Therapy provides the theoretical framework and the practical applications to give voice to the struggles and stresses that urban students face on the streets, in schools, and in their living situations. […] School counselors, educators, and therapists can use these meaningful and creative culturally expressive experiences, approaches, and resources to reach students who have not responded to traditional methods of counseling. Take the next step. Listen to your students’ voices and create a place to help them express themselves, learn, and grow!"
-- Carol Dahir, Professor, School Counseling Department, New York Institute of Technology, USA.
"Dr. Levy offers an innovative approach to school counseling that is anchored and guided by hip-hop culture. The articulation and use of hip-hop as a theoretical framing to inform the practices of school counseling has the potential to push the field to be increasingly thoughtful and intentional about offering students responsive school counseling practices. Further, Dr. Levy provides tangible research-based practices as well as meaningful anecdotes that can support practicing school counselors with engaging in hip-hop based school counseling. All school counselors should pick up this text!"
-- Edmund Adjapong, Assistant Professor of Education, Seton Hall University, USA.

‘Ella Minty shows how a strategic and innovative use of social media rooted in the knowledge of history’s silent forces can be a powerful tool to fight terrorism. A must-read for foreign policy strategists.’
– Diego Gilardoni, international communications consultant and author of Decoding China
‘Ella Minty is the ideal communication professional to write about "Social Media and the Islamic State". Her experience and depth of knowledge on the topic are unmatched. As a　public relations professional now teaching the next generation(s) of PR pros, I look forward to reading her published work and encouraging my students to read it as well and take to heart her observations.’
– Kirk Hazlett, APR, Fellow PRSA, Adjunct Professor, Communication, The University of Tampa; Director and Ethics Officer, Tampa Bay Chapter, Public Relations Society of America

‘Ella has delved into a communications issue that should concern us all - how do we win over the hearts and minds of those who have been seduced by extremism? This is a fascinating read that should be widely read by both fellow communicators and those working in government.’
– Alex Malouf, EMENA Chair of the International Association of Business Communicators; Board Member of the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management; Member of the National Advisory Council, College of Communication and Media Sciences, Zayed University
‘Public relations, taken seriously, has a large contribution to make to the solution of intractable social and political problems. Ella Minty takes this view of public relations into confronting challenges posed by international terrorism - and expands our understanding of these, and public relations' potential role.’
– Jon White PhD, Visiting Professor, Reading University Henley Business School and Honorary Professor, Cardiff University School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies
‘With wide and comprehensive experience in the field of public relations, Ella Minty is an evangelist, in a good way. Utterly passionate in promoting communications as a force for good in the world, she is untiring in her quest. This highly informative and very readable monograph is a valuable testament to her commitment, recommended to all with an interest in politics, communications and extremism.’
– Jem Thomas, Director of Training and Research, Albany Associates
‘What are now recognised as industrial disciplines, "Communications" and / or "PR" have always been part of counterinsurgency (CI) and counter terrorist (CT) campaigns. Ella’s work makes it clear that in the 21st century CI / CT environment, there is a greater need than ever for sovereign states and supra national actors to engage with developing best practice from industry to maintain optimum results.’
– Paddy Blewer, Global PR Director specialising in government advisory and foreign direct investment services
‘Ella Minty’s book could not be more timely, and could not address an issue of greater importance. This is a must-read analysis from one of the PR industry’s most senior and most esteemed practitioners.’
– Francis Ingham, Public Relations and Communications Association Director General; Chief Executive of the International Communications Consultancy Organisation; LGComms Executive Director 
‘The rise of ISIS has painfully demonstrated that engaging communities quickly and effectively can be a matter of life and death. Ella Minty makes a compelling case for how public relations can counter this new generation of social media-savvy terrorists and be a force for good in the world.’
– Rob Smith, editor, Influence
‘Social Media and the Islamic State’ is a forceful and incisive account of how the Islamic State came to dominate social media, and the inadequacy of state responses to this new challenge. Were opportunities missed to combat IS on social media itself? Minty suggests there were. In addition to the standard arsenal of surveillance and disruption, she suggests that more activist and emotionally-aware interventions, especially those crowdsourcing input from other users, might have been helpful. Her monograph is a succinct and well-focused starting point for considering how we do better in future.’

"This exceptionally useful book does exactly what the title claims: it explains economics simply, in words and graphs. Those without much, if any, training in the subject who find themselves having to deal with its underlying concepts and measurements regularly, which is most people in business and policymaking, will find this an invaluable guide. It will take a bit of effort to work through it. But nothing worthwhile is easy. The reward will be much greater understanding of the economy, economics and economists." — Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator, Financial Times
"This book is easy and clear reading, rich in practical examples and case studies of the issues decision makers in the private and the public sectors face daily. The book is full of ideas, tools and thought-frameworks that are crucial for business leaders who wish to influence policies that foster businesses to flourish and countries to develop." —　Deborah France-Massin, Director, Bureau of Employers’ Activities, ILO Geneva. 　
"Economics for Policy Makers is a must read for business leaders and trade unionists, but also for any development practitioner who is "daily in contact", but not familiar or even "scared" by macro and micro economics. With a very practical approach highlighting the applications of economic principles to real situations, the book helps in better understanding which are the different policy options for decision makers and in explaining the impact of government policies and business strategies on economic growth and social development." — Paolo Salvai, Senior Programme Officer, International Training Centre of the ILO
"Prof. Rinaldi’s book is an excellent introduction into economic analysis for practitioners in the field of collective bargaining. I am certain that this book will become an essential reading for anybody trying to prepare for collective negotiations, be it at the level of an individual company, in sectoral or occupational representations or at the level of national tripartite institutions." — Dr Ekkehard Ernst, Research Department, International Labour Organisation

From review of the original publication:
‘The Common Curriculum is a recommendation for the total organization of a comprehensive school. He rightly wants us to refuse to organize comprehensive schools as if they were grammar/technical/secondary modern schools on the same site, and to establish an appropriate "pattern of purpose and structure" for genuine comprehensive education. It is easy to read, full of useful references, and is an optimistic book: an optimism born of successful practice and therefore entirely credible to experienced teachers.’　 Patrick Eavis, The Times Educational Supplement
