’Now, more than ever, public libraries must remain relevant and responsive to the ever-changing needs of our communities. Using the community-led approaches explained in this book, libraries can respond holistically and inclusively to community needs.’  Jennifer Peterson, WebJunction Community Manager, OCLC, USA  'Pateman and Williment bring direct experience as well as years of research to this essential guide. The community-led public library development approach they describe is neither an added service nor a boilerplate substitute for tradition; instead, it is a service position and attitude that recreates the essential civic contract between librarians and the public. Every facet of concern requiring exploration is addressed here, with copious examples provided from across England and Canada. Repairing the worlds of the socially excluded in our communities is public library engagement at its best.' Francisca Goldsmith, formerly Director of Branch Services, Halifax Regional Library, Nova Scotia, Canada  '... provides a blueprint and practical roadmap for library teams and library schools everywhere... It is a clear challenge but also a guideline on how to reinvigorate our role as an agent of social change and social justice... Well-written by respected practitioners, clear and sound evidence-based with excellent bibliographic references it is a must read for those floundering with an elevator pitch or strategy for the future of their library services. It should open a dialogue with library schools and be compulsory reading for library students... An invaluable resource, a thought-provoking book for public library leaders and staff, students of library and information science and indeed politicians. The book reads easily, an excellent bibliography prompts further reading and a useful index concludes the book. It is undoubtedly a step forward in outlining effective public library policy.'

’This is an outstanding book that will greatly enhance discussions on globalization, denationalization and deterritorialization in the field of International Relations (IR) and beyond. Stephen Haigh provides an excellent and innovative analysis of sovereignty, statehood and cosmopolitanism that will be of interest both to philosophically-trained IR scholars and students. There is no doubt in my mind that his theoretical discussion of neo-medievalism and embedded cosmopolitanism will spur a fresh debate among globalization theorists and normatively oriented scholars.’ Dirk Nabers, University of Kiel, Germany  ’In this highly original study Stephen Haigh confronts the phenomena and theories of globalization head-on. Indeed, in arguing for the resilience, adaptability and centrality of what he terms transformed states he mounts a most formidable defence of IR - not by denying the profound economic changes that have taken place over the past twenty-five years, but by showing that only the state in its modern form can address the many problems thrown up by globalization. A great addition to the literature on globalization and a major contribution to IR as a discipline.’ Michael Cox, Founding Director, IDEAS, London School of Economics, UK  ’"[G]lobalization is ushering in a neo-medieval age," argues Stephen Haigh in this ambitious reinterpretation of the development and trajectory of the Westphalian system, as a result of which the embedded cosmopolitan state becomes an institutional necessity. To defend such a bold claim requires mastery of history, International Relations theory, and metatheory.  It requires subtlety, clarity, and care. Not least, it requires infectious conviction. Haigh has it all. The result is a book as insightful, compelling, and creative as it is enjoyable to read.’ David A. Welch, Balsillie School of International Affairs, Canada  'Future States is an interesting addition to the globalization literature and to IR more broa

'...this remarkable book on 'Research Methodology' which is responsive to all relevant stakeholders. Researchers from the North, the South, the East and the West are now able to draw on their own roots to turn social research into social innovation. A major achievement!' -  Martin Hilb, Managing Director, Institute for Leadership and Human Resource Management, Switzerland  'This is a unique book since it blends social transformation with business and culture...It is about re-thinking, grounding and framing research to new domains. In an era of global challenges from poverty to climate change, this book offers new notions for enabling and harnessing research to transform organizations and societies.' - Prof. Odeh Al Jayyousi, Regional Director Middle East, IUCN The World Conservation Union, Geneva  'A readable and rigorous book, which is characterised by comprehensiveness, insights, structure and clarity; and which is aided by informative executive summaries, figures and illustrations... It is a timely and pioneering book ...I strongly believe that the book's provocative, grounded and convincing arguments will extend the horizons of prevailing research thoughts and practices and would leave a positive impact on social and management research scholarships and students.' - Adel Rasheed, Professor of Management, Yarmouk University, Jordan  '...a bold new way of framing transformation processes that crosses the boundaries of several disciplines...Their way of generating innovation provides a valuable road map that enables change agents to creatively synthesize local identities and global context.' - Prof. Dr Raoul C. D. Nacamulli UniversitÃ  di Milano-Bicocca, Italy  '...superbly balanced research methodologies for both master and doctoral students focusing on social innovation and on social and economic transformation...' - Kensei Hiwaki, Professor of International Economics, Tokyo International University  'I am convinced that this book, and the integral approach to re

'Painstakingly and exhaustively researched ... the archival work and architectural analysis are first-rate; and the fieldwork on the two military installations must have been a heroic achievement. The arguments are wholly persuasive and are presented in clear, elegant prose that manages to avoid trendy jargon... The author is clearly comfortable with the intricate world of Ottoman court culture and still poorly known architectural history. I believe the book will provoke a lively debate ... This study is novel, original, timely, and important-a superb achievement.' Heghnar Watenpaugh, University of California, and author of The Image of an Ottoman City 
'Lucienne Thys-Senocak has given us a fascinating study of architectural patronage by Hadice Turhan Sultan, mother of Sultan Mehmed IV. Through her fortifications on the Dardanelles and her mosque and market in the commercial heart of Istanbul, this remarkable woman advanced the strength and piety of the empire. Hidden from public view, she proclaimed to the world her own presence and power. An eye-opening comparison with patronage in western Europe, Ottoman Women Builders reveals unexpected possibilities in the lives of elite women in the seventeenth century.' Natalie Zemon Davis, Henry Charles Lea Professor of History Emeritus at Princeton University and author of Trickster Travels: A Sixteenth-Century Muslim Between Worlds 
'Ottoman Women Builders was written with a broad audience of early modern scholars and students in mind. Its clear prose and helpful translations, together with a clearly organized text, makes an otherwise specialized topic accessible to various disciplines... [It] is an important contribution to the growing field of Ottoman studies, although nonspecialists will find it equally valuable in its myriad uses as an important tool for comparative studies. Thys-Senocak's work will be a valuable text for students and specialists of European history, art and architecture, women's studies, military history, and Islamic history, art, and architectural history at large.' Renaissance Quarterly 
'This book represents a major contribution to the study of imperial female patronage and to architectural history as a whole.' Journal of The Society of Architectural Historians

"Finally, a book that captures the pains, frustrations, and challenges of Black faculty in the academy. Using counter-narrative stories, the authors shed light on the marginality and intersectionality which present constant obstacles for Black faculty. This book is essential reading for young Black scholars entering the academy as well as university administrators who are concerned about recruiting, supporting, and promoting Black faculty." —Tyrone C. Howard, Professor of Education and Director of the Black Male Institute, University of California, Los Angeles

"Unique. Powerful. Empowering. Substantive. Real. Raw. The authors share research, but just as important, they share their lives and stories. The authors tackle the thorny issue of racial prejudice in a myriad of forms -- racism, stereotypes, microaggressions, deficit thinking, colorblindness, and more. And they tackle these issues with heart and soul. This book is powerful and empowering. Listen to their stories and learn. The book is a welcomed and needed contribution to scholarship that informs and offers solutions for change." —Donna Y. Ford, Professor of Education and Human Development, Vanderbilt University

"The editors and selected contributors provide cogent insights on navigating academic environments as faculty of color. ... Black Faculty in the Academy is not a prescriptive behavioral guide of dos and don'ts; rather, the diverse analyses of lived experiences with recommendations provide avenues for readers to construct reflective assessment of present individualized situations. ... For new faculty of color as the likely primary readers, this volume offers powerful insights of CRT to raise awareness and encourage development of contextual navigation strategies." —Reflective Teaching

'The book is of interest, among others, to cultural historians, historians of science, historians of cartography, the visual arts, and to scholars in the history of slavery and post-colonial studies. The Editors of this Volume have done a fine job by arranging all references into one single bibliography list at the end of the book: as such, the reader has access to one alphabetical list of about 30 pages of sources and references. The book contains more than 50 figures, mostly zonal maps and charts, world maps, and also reproductions of painted landscapes and portraits.' Journal of Astronomical Data  'European Perceptions of ’Terra Australis’ offers a treasure trove of ideas, insights, and further reading to explore, with useful illustrations and a comprehensive bibliography. The essays provide updates on contemporary debates in the field, bring into focus some little-known texts, and provide fresh interdisciplinary insights on a fascinating field.' Parergon  ’... collectively, the essays can be understood as chapters in an intricate, non-linear story of, first, the construction of an elaborate fantasy of Terra Australis, and subsequently its replacement by the gradually revealed reality of the lands of the southern hemisphere, in particular Australia.’ Australian Historical Studies
