'This is a remarkable achievement both in scope and organization and in the outstanding quality of some essays.The editors have earned the gratitude of all Western students of Hindu and Buddhist thought and of comparative ethics. New possibilities of dialogue have been opened up.' --Alasdair MacIntyre, University of Notre Dame, USA 
'This collection of essays relating to classical, contemporary and applied moral thinking in and from India makes a significant contribution in an area that is due for just this kind of re-envisioning of possibilities. Bilimoria's essay constitutes an excellent beginning point to initiate the trajectory of studies through the various aspects the essayists plan to cover. Good comparative materials are lacking in Ethics, and this book fills a gap.' --William J. Jackson, Indiana University, Indianapolis, USA 
'This is a much needed volume that will have a substantial impact on the ways that scholars of both Indian philosophy/culture and western philosophy conceive of Indian ethics. The sophistication and breadth of the various chapters included will make the volume useful to a wide variety of scholars and non-scholars alike.' --Deepak Sarma, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA 
'...insightful and noteworthy...this collection opens up the way for further inquiries into comparative studies between Indian and Western ethics...Students and scholars of comparative studies will find this book interesting and beneficial. Recommended.’ --CHOICE

'Barbara Newman, one of the UK's most highly valued writers on dance, has compiled an extraordinary archive from interviews with great dancers and teachers of the 20th century who, having made their transitions to becoming repetiteurs and administrators, extended their careers in dance by generously passing on their heritage and expertise. 

Their modesty in giving fulsome credit to their own teachers, coaches and choreographers, combined with their entertainingly candid memories, make this book truly enjoyable as well as informative. It is an insightful guide for those with so much to give who are embarking on their second careers off the stage and a 'must have' for all dance lovers.'

'Captivating... an utterly riveting view into the professional 'after-lives' of some of ballet's great performers.' 
Anya, Lady Sainsbury CBE 
'Barbara Newman talks to a group of distinguished former dancers about their careers after they finished dancing in her latest book, Never Far From Dancing: Ballet artists in new roles. The stellar interviews include Alicia Alonso, Nina Ananiashvili, Merrill Ashley, Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux, Beryl Grey, Desmond Kelly, Donald MacLeary, Monica Mason, Lynn Seymour, Antoinette Sibley and David Wall, which should prove fascinating reading.'
New Book Releases section, The Dancing Times
'Newman's [book] is a compilation of her conversations with retired ballet performers. It makes intriguing and enriching reading...Passion and enthusiasm for dance speak from almost every interview. Far from just getting the job done, these artists fulfilled a vocation.' Ilona Landgraf, Dance View Times

'Francis is a distinguished member of the new generation of African scholars in this field, and this new addition to his corpus of work does not disappoint. He has brought together a group of distinguished scholars to provide a fresh look at post-conflict peacebuilding, with a particular focus on Sierra Leone. At a time when the appetite for liberal peacebuilding is rapidly ebbing, he and his co-authors make a strong case for why - suitably reformed and rooted in local circumstances - external assistance can play a useful role in supporting the process of reconstruction after war.' Malcolm Chalmers, Research Director / Director, UK Defence Policy Studies, UK  'This book clearly delineates the successes and challenges my country experienced when I was at the helm of things, while making the transition from war to peacebuilding and development. It is essential reading for all Sierra Leonean policy-makers as well as others interested in post-war reconstruction especially in Africa.' Ahmad Tejan Kabbah, President of Sierra Leone, 1996-2007

’... all the contributions to this carefully edited volume deal with the reception history of Ezekiel, and offer a valuable contribution to that topic.’ Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses  ’The book provides a good overview of some key aspects of the book of Ezekiel and its Wirkungsgeschichte and will be an essential tool for Ezekiel specialists.’ Journal for the Study of the Old Testament  ’This engaging and thought-provoking collection deserves reading not only by Ezekiel scholars but also by those more broadly interested in issues of inner-biblical exegesis and the history of interpretation.’ Catholic Biblical Quarterly

’This enlightening, thought-provoking study by Jolly (Skidmore College) focuses on depictions of Mary Magdalene in Northern Renaissance art ... The contributions of this book will have significant implications in many fields ... Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.’ Choice 
'Penny Howell Jolly brilliantly expands on recent research on the history of dress, performance, and sexuality, to explore how ideas associated with the female body of Mary Magdalen, such as its permeability and instability, were expressed visually through a series of symbolic signs and acts that offer her process of transformation from sinner to saint as a model that could be emulated by ordinary Christians. With a sharp eye and a thorough understanding of the rich and complex cult of the Magdalen, Jolly analyzes visual imagery to successfully explain the broad appeal of the Magdalen, a prostitute who became a saint.' Diane Wolfthal, Rice University 
'... a convincing argument that the visual symbolism of Mary Magdalene’s spiritual pregnancy is a consistent and evolving feature of Northern Renaissance art. One of Jolly’s great strengths throughout this work is her ability to comprehend and explain the complexity of signification within art history, and its capacity to subtly change meaning over time ... Jolly uses a formidable range of resources in the endeavour to support her claims, drawing upon the literature and drama of the Northern Renaissance as well as its art, thereby demonstrating the interconnections between these different mediums in terms of the complex significations of the body of Mary Magdalene.' Journal of the Northern Renaissance 
'One of the many strengths of this publication is that Jolly focuses on roles for the Magdalene yet to be explored. Her novel approach offers a deeper understanding of Magdalene images ...' Historians of Netherlandish Art Review of Books

"I highly recommend this book! It will be a valuable resource for students taking a school counseling internship and/or starting a new school counseling position. I am not aware of any other book that focuses specifically on these two important years. Heather walks the new counselor through a variety of opportunities and challenges. I certainly could have used this resource when I started as a school counselor 30 years ago. She is clearly an advocate for the profession and professional school counselors." — Dr. Brent Richardson, LPCC-s, Professor of Xavier University Counseling Department, USA, and Author, Working with Challenging Youth: Seven Guiding Principles

"Teeming with fresh perspectives and original insights, this is a treasure chest of essays on literature’s pirates’. John Peck, author of Maritime Fiction: Sailors and the Sea in British and American Novels, 1719-1917 '... this is a rewarding volume of essays on subjects both remote and familiar. Piracy is the common thread, but the prominence of themes of imperialism, copyright and print history, spectacle and popular culture, and gender and sexuality, make of the book a veritable treasure trove for the reader interested in a broad canvas of (mostly transatlantic) nineteenth-century cultural history." 
- Review 19
"The sophistication of Thompson’s analysis does justice to a writer whose ’individualism has proven hard for recent critics to stomach’ (215), and exemplifies the capacity of meticulous close reading to breathe new critical life into the nineteenth century’s not-so-childish-after-all pirates."
- Review of English Studies 
"... fills a major gap in the scholarly literature on piracy and offers an admirable complement to, inter alia, Claire Jowitt’s The Culture of Piracy..."
-Victorian Studies
"Reminding us of the indebtedness of our conceptions of the pirate to the likes of Byron and Stevenson, this collection will no doubt have something to offer anyone interested in nineteenth-century renderings of the pirate, his villainy, and, perhaps especially, his subversive heroism."
- Sara Malton, Saint Mary's University

Narrative-Based Practice is a significant and timely addition to the literature. It is well researched and well written and the choice and use of real-life examples and case studies is particularly apt. There is much of value to both the general practitioner and the specialist researcher in a whole range of fields where NBP has a serious validity. And it is a good read! David Baker, University College Plymouth Marjon, UK   Peter Brophy’s new book is a wide-ranging and humane argument for a radical new approach to the management and evaluation of libraries and information services. In promoting narrative-based practice, Brophy convincingly reasserts the validity of each individual’s unique perspective, whether as staff or user, challenging us to re-engage with the vital role of library and information services in the digital age.   Rowena Cullen, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand  'This very readable book presents a compelling argument for considering narrative-based practice in addition to evidence-based practice (EBP)...The subject matter of the book is applicable to anyone currently using EBP, including professionals working in healthcare, education and information management...it also deserves to be read by anyone with an interest in the workings of organisations, whether from an academic or practitioner perspective, as it provides fascinating insight into the use and potential mis-use of narrative in the working environment...I highly recommend this book.' The Electronic Library  'The narrative is erudite yet imaginative: Stories possess subtle, half-hidden rhythms of what it is like to be human, to live in this crazy, frustrating, fascinating, exciting world (p. 34). There are few scholarly books that could contribute so much to knowledge in such a compelling way.' Library Management  'Narrative-based Practice is an important book in the field of narrative-based practice and draws on the substantial experience and knowledge of the author,

’This book closely engages in the experience and remembering of diverse spaces of our lives, virtual and very real and fleshy; familiar and otherwise. Much here is new, new angles, new examples, new kinds of stories. Its chapters are insightful of the way imagination works, flows and feels in body-mind, expressed in representation and otherwise; in human lives.’  David Crouch, University of Derby, UK  ’This collection reminds us that there is no human travel without imagination but also that travelling usually fuels that imagination. In an evocative way and through a refreshing multidisciplinary lens the various contributors tease out the highly dynamic relationship between the two concepts. As such, the book launches the reader into an imaginative scholarly journey that has just begun.’ Noel B. Salazar, University of Leuven, Belgium  'Travel and Imagination lends itself to creativity and arguably a catalyst for imagination in people with travel as a focus. Many tourism student activities can also elevate the creativity in classes focusing on the travel industry and the imagination of the students.' European Journal of Tourism Research  '... not only engaging and intellectually stimulating, but also presented in a creative and imaginative manner. ... It certainly engaged my own imagination as it led me on to the other chapters with a sense of discovery and excitement. ... Each chapter is well crafted and a delight to read in its own right.'
