'This work is far from being just another assessment of the Coalition's first year in office. In addition to the in-depth examination of Cameron's statecraft strategy, Heppell and Seawright offer a compelling analysis of the Conservative Party's ideological trajectory under Cameron, particularly in relation to a New Labour legacy.'
- Agnès Alexandre-Collier, Professor, Université de Bourgogne, France.

'Packed with authoritative, detailed and insightful accounts, this book gets to the heart of Cameron's Coalition government; its ­­formation, policy and politics. Heppell and Seawright have achieved the best of breadth and depth to illuminate and explain the most important features of this fascinating period of Conservative party politics.'
- Jane Green, Lecturer in Politics, University of Manchester, UK

'This is an excellent and wide-ranging collection of essays on the Conservatives in opposition and power from 2005-2011 that brings together the expertise of an impressive team of scholars. It will be a key resource for all those seriously interested in the party's development and prospects under David Cameron.'
- Paul Webb, Professor of Politics at the Department of Politics and Contemporary European Studies, University of Sussex, UK

"Ehrhart, Schneider, and Macey have created a rich, thoughtful, and comprehensive resource for scholars and practitioners. They lead us through a wide range of complex issues with style and substance. You'll know a lot more about culture and climate after you read it. I know I did!" -- Daniel Denison, Ph.D., IMD Business School, Switzerland
"This bookbreaks new ground regarding the integration of scholarship and practice, quantitative and qualitative methods for studying and changing organizational climate and culture, and includes a sizeable body of literature." -- W. Warner Burke, Teachers College, Columbia University

"This volume offers a powerful and scholarly overview of the climate and culture literatures and seeks to integrate them. The authors are hugely knowledgeable about these areas and so it is just a treasure trove of information. It offers new insights about the links between strategy and culture and offers a comprehensive overview of measurement methods for climate and culture.The authors take clear positions on some of the key controversies in the field, the writing is clear, there are good summaries at the end of each chapter, and some novel methods of communicating key issues to readers. One such method is the use of a summary of key critiques of some concepts with the authors' helpful responses to critiques. The authors do not, as so many academics do, sit on the fence in relation to key controversies." -- Michael West, Lancaster University, UK

'Lively, engaging and does something that few philosophy books do - it gives a real sense of how even seemingly abstruse metaphysical issues can be of the first moment of a person's life - It is the testament of a talented writer to the immense grip of Heidegger's thought can exert. Unique in its style, the book has a genuine significance which more orthodox discussions, though several of them are perfectly worthy, do not.' - David Cooper, University of Durham

“The book is well organized and allows the readers to follow the argument straightforwardly. … I consider Mixed Methods Research in Poverty and Vulnerability a significant, fresh and opportune contribution. All the authors have a wide-ranging knowledge of the case studies presented, and the editors managed to bring forward a compact and coherent book which discusses mixed methods linked to the concepts of poverty and vulnerability.” (Marisa R. Ferreira, Progress in Development Studies, Vol. 17 (1), 2017)

“If you are a clinician or a member of the public who does not believe in the difficulties experienced by those with CFS/ME, as well as their families and carers, then I would recommend this book to you … . I would commend this book to you to help you understand the experiences of your patients and how your attitudes, demeanor, and behavior can so catastrophically influence a patient who presents with what is a significant and debilitating problem.” (Julia Newton, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (24), June, 2016)

This book is a creative and original effort to assess the interdependence of a prominent issue in the world Tibet's status in relation to China with the role played by the entertainment industry. Daccache and Valeriano offer a penetrating analysis of how the role of Hollywood has evolved over time in depicting the events. The trend in Hollywood toward a more positive portrayal is a cause for optimism about long-term resolution of the conflict over Tibet. This highly accessible book is a 'must read' for those with an interest in politics, globalization, cultural studies or the entertainment industry. Patrick James, Dornsife Dean's Professor of International Relations, USC

"This provocative new volume is an important part of a growing literature on the ever-changing role that film, particularly Hollywood film, is playing in an increasingly globalized and inter-connected world, where political impulses and economic interests are often contradictory, and powerful nations are competing to enhance their "soft power". Addressing an issue that is almost always polarizing, the authors manage to analyze dispassionately the viewpoints of the major players, providing a detailed and well-balanced account. The history of Hollywood's representation of the Sino-Tibetan conflict and how such representation has changed over time is used to reveal how the rise of China and the Chinese film market has compelled Hollywood to shift from an 'Orientalist' political agenda to a 'China friendly' model that will enhance the industry's bottom line, thus offering the reader important insights into such issues as the Sino-American relationship and the role of culture in shaping public opinion." - Stanley Rosen

“The book has covered the important macroeconomic policy issues with a strong conceptual framework, comprehensive literature survey, and robust empirical analysis. The book is strongly recommended for researchers, students, policy makers, practitioners, and analysts interested in India’s macroeconomic management–particularly monetary and external-sector management.” (R. K. Pattnaik, Journal of Economic Literature, Vol. 55 (1), March, 2017)

'This book identifies and engages with a topic of prime importance, namely Pakistani Muslims' post-9/11 literary production. Given that Malala Yousafzai was recently co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to great acclaim from the world and mixed feelings from many Pakistanis, few can doubt that there is much at stake in the images produced of Islam by cultural, media, and marketing forces. Aroosa Kanwal effectively uses writers' journalism to illuminate their fictional works, and is a consummate reader of both texts and theories. Today's Pakistani authors are 'writing back' to dominant discourses in important ways, and Kanwal is one of the best emerging scholars exploring their work.' Claire Chambers, University of York, UK

This . . . is a comprehensive, meticulously researched and well-written examination of the period leading up the invasion of Grenada. It draws together a very impressive range of perspectives to provide a coherent and convincing argument.

"The arrival of this volume is very timely and helpful. It is clear from its materials that Russian scientists have made and are making a significant contribution to life exploration in ancient ice. Until now, their works had seldom appeared in English-language editions. This is one of the reasons why overseas specialists were generally weakly acquainted with the works by our researchers. This gap has now been bridged."---V.A. Melnik, Microbiology
