'Mark Bennister's book will be essential reading for all students of prime ministerial power and executive governance. He moves the debate onto new territory, using a comparative approach (looking at Tony Blair in Britain and John Howard in Australia) and integrating analysis of institutional and party factors, personal skills and leadership styles. Bennister is a careful, systematic and forensic analyst. The book offers many insights into Blair and Howard's long years of predominance but works successfully also as a primer on how to go about making sense in general of Prime Ministers as political leaders.' - Kevin Theakston, Professor of British Government, University of Leeds, UK

'This book makes a significant new contribution to our understanding of comparative political leadership. Through an exhaustive and clear analysis of the personal and political resources at their disposal, it reveals how two very different individuals working in distinctive political settings former British prime minister Tony Blair and the ex-premier of Australia, John Howard each found ways of stretching their power through personalized electoral appeals, although each was ultimately constrained by party colleagues. Mark Bennister has produced a valuable new study that deserves the attention of all serious students and scholars of political leadership.' - Paul Webb, Professor of Politics, University of Sussex, UK

'Mark Bennister's comparative study of Tony Blair and John Howard is a revelation. Few are the books that allow us to see across national difference to recognise the core elements that empower or limit prime ministers. Rarer still are those that can overcome a narrow focus on institutions, or personalities, or the core executive to encompass all of those things and adroitly to demonstrate that only through understanding their interaction will we see how power is gained and sustained. This is a major contribution to prime ministerial studies and to leadership analysis at large.' - James Walter, Professor of Political Science, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia

'In this conceptually-sophisticated, richly-informed volume, Cerami and Vanhuysse bring together an exceptional group of scholars to debate path dependence and institutional transformation in CEE welfare states. The authors' impressive analysis of causal factors, including political elites' strategic use of social policy, makes the book an original and important contribution to the comparative welfare state literature.'
- Professor Linda J. Cook, Dept. of Political Science, Brown University, USA

'This edited volume is extraordinarily good. The editors are venturing new grounds in the study welfare state change, by deliberately going beyond the easy temptation of modelling new member welfare states after West European examples. The book provides the best overview to date of welfare state transformation in Central and Eastern Europe. It not only does so by bringing together the leading experts on the subject worldwide. The editors' theoretically well-informed and analytically illuminating and innovative approach to the study of welfare state (self-) transformation, which casts new light on the evolution of domestic and supranational social policy, will guarantee that this landmark book will be cited for many years to come. The comparative scope, historical depth, and timely position, should make the volume required reading for academics, students, and policy makers.' - Anton Hemerijck, Free University of Amsterdam

'An impressive book with a stellar line-up of authors that is theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich as it provides insights into the dynamics of change in Central and Eastern European countries since the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The book shows that there are no simple explanations of the transformation of CEECs' social policies, but that a wide range of factors elucidated by different analytic frameworks in particular historical and discursive institutionalism help explain countries' differing trajectories over time, including path-dependent or path-breaking policies, interest-based political coalitions that promote or oppose reform, and national or supranational ideas and discourse that frame those reform efforts.' - Vivien A.

From the reviews:
"Spectral Methods for Incompressible Viscous Flow is a clear, thorough, and authoritative book … . The author, throughout the book, frequently points out topics that are beyond the scope of this book and gives references to where such information is found. This makes the book an excellent resource for the entire field. … this is an excellent book, which can serve both as a textbook for those who want to learn about spectral methods, as well as a reference for practitioners solving the Navier-Stokes equations." (Sigal Gottlieb and David Gottlieb, SIAM Review, Vol. 45 (2), 2003)
"The importance of spectral methods in obtaining the solutions of boundary value problems in a variety of situations of physical and engineering interest is well-known. … This book gives a good understanding of spectral methods which deal with the flows of incompressible viscous fluid governed by Navier-Stokes equations. … On the whole, this book is an excellent text for graduate students or researchers interested in learning spectral methods and in their application to incompressible fluid flows, and is a good addition to any library." (Adabala Ramachandra Rao, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1005, 2003)
"The author sets out ‘to provide a comprehensive discussion of Fourier and Chebyshev spectral methods for the computation of incompressible viscous flows, based on the Navier-Stokes equations.’ He has succeeded admirably. The book … provides a clear exposition of the associated computational techniques, and gives information on the implementation of these techniques. … It will appeal to applied mathematicians and CFD-oriented engineers at the post-graduate level and to anyone teaching or undertaking research on problems described by the Navier-Stokes equations. This book is highly recommended." (G de Vahl Davis, Applied Mechanics Reviews, Vol. 56 (1), 2003)

From the reviews:
"The book requires knowledge of multivariate statistical methods, because it provides only basic background information on the methods&nbsp;considered (although with excellent references for futher reading at the end of each chapter). Each chapter also includes exercises with solutions...This book could serve as an excellent text for an advanced course on modern multivariate statistics, as it is intended." Technometrics, November 2004
"This book is full of interest for anyone undertaking multivariate analyses, clearly emphasizing that uncritical use of standard methods can be misleading." Short Book Reviews of the International Statistical Institute, December 2004
"This book is an interesting complement to various textbooks on multivariate statistics." Biometrics, December 2005
"This book discusses multivariate data from a different perspective. … it is an excellent book for researchers with interests in multivariate data and cluster analysis. It may also be a good reference for students of advanced statistics and practitioners working with large volumes of data … ." (Kassim S. Mwitondi, Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol. 32 (4), 2005)
"This is a companion to an earlier book … both of which feature many informative graphs. Here, the forward search has been applied in detail to classical multivariate approaches used with Gaussian data. … One valuable feature of the book is the way that the illustrations concentrate on a relatively small number … . This makes it easy to concentrate on the application … . The implications of this book also strengthen the importance of data visualization, as well as providing a valuable approach to visualization." (Paul Hewson, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A, Vol. 168 (2), 2005)
"This book is a companion to Atkinson … . The objective is to identify outliers, appreciate their influence … which would result in an overall improvement. … Graphical tools are widely used, resulting in three hundred and ninety figures. Each chapter is followed by extensive exercises and their solutions, and the book could be used as an advanced textbook for multivariate analysis courses. Web-sites provide the relevant software … . This book is full of interest for anyone undertaking multivariate analyses … ." (B.J.T. Morgan, Short Book Reviews International Statistical Institute, Vol. 24 (3), 2004)
"This book discusses forward search (FS), a method using graphs to explore and model continuous multivariate data … . Its viewpoint is toward applications, and it demonstrates the merits of FS using a variety of examples, with a thorough discussion of statistical issues and interpretation of results. … This book could serve as an excellent text for an advanced course on modern multivariate statistics, as it is intended." (Tena Ipsilantis Katsaounis, Technometrics, Vol. 46 (4), November, 2004)
"The theoretical exercises with detailed solutions at the end of each chapter are extremely useful. I would recommend this book to practitioners who analyze moderately sized multivariate data. Of course, anyone associated with the application of statistics should find the book interesting to read." (Tathgata Banerjee, Journal of the American Statistical Association, March 2006)
"This book deals with procedures to analyze sets of multivariate observations of continuous variables. … The procedures are described in general, and then applied to a collection of data sets. … The data are shown through tables and figures, the latter numbering 390, which means that illustrations are abundant. … This is an attractive and useful book. It has a wealth of suggestions. … The results of the analysis are usually presented in graphical form, and as said, the book has 390 graphs." (Raúl Mentz, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1049, 2004)
"This is a valuable book on explorative multivariate data analysis which makes particular use of plots. … The book is intended to serve as a text for a postgraduate course on modern multivariate statistics. The theoretical material is complemented by exercises with detailed solutions. … This is a … carefully written book on explorative multivariate data analysis, with a lot of details and examples especially on effects caused by outliers and departures from normality. I recommend this book for any applied statistician." (Wolfgang Näther, Metrika, Vol. 64, 2006)

“This whole book is characterised by its rigour and nuance in every comment, especially regarding consumers and spectators … . Representing Ageing will have at least two different audiences: obviously scholars and doctorate students working on age relations and gerontology, but also academics in sociology, anthropology, media and Cultural Studies who are looking for interesting aspects related to the social representation of ageing. Clearly, Virpi Ylänne is to be commended for this excellent collection of essays.” (Yves Laberge, The European Legacy, Vol. 23 (2), February, 2018)"[A]n enjoyable read, providing a thoughtful mix of chapters that significantly highlight the interplay between media representations of ageing and the selfidentification of older individuals. Taken together, the collection showcases the research of key scholars in this area, and makes a strong case for considering the importance of both images and identity to contemporary processes of ageing." - Ageing and Society
