Managing Value in Organisations was shortlisted in the Management and Leadership Textbook category of the CMI Management Book of the Year competition 2013. CMI consider the shortlisted and winning books as Management Gold.  'Managing Value in Organisations is a terrific read. Donal Carroll offers a fresh perspective on organisation change, combining his experience as a consultant with a deep knowledge of theory and an irreverent and iconoclastic style. In Donal's world, there are no simple recipes - change is a journey, it requires experimentation, learning and self-reflection, and it happens most effectively when we are mindful of the tensions and trade-offs we are grappling with. If you are looking to shake up your workplace, this book provides a wealth of ideas and tools to help you.' Julian Birkinshaw, London Business School, UK  'Traditional approaches to the management of change at best produce results too slowly. Carrol offers an approach which enables faster adaptation to today's nasty surprise. Enormously valuable' Richard Chambers, lately Principal, Lambeth College, UK  'Entertaining and informative, this book aimed at "practical visionaries" has major relevance for third sector organisations facing significant challenges. The focus on value creation through integration of the three models of management, learning and business has an intuitive appeal as well as demonstrating its practical application. I found it a seriously entertaining consideration of managing complexity in uncertain times, providing a modern paradigm which challenges traditional management thinking. The use of the models as self improvement tools creates an innovative way of organisations understanding themselves and giving a sense of direction.' Jan Jenkins, Director, Blenheim CDP  ’...eloquent, witty and jargon-free...’ Time Higher Education (THE) 'In this book Donal Carroll explores so many layers of learning, including: his own encyclopaedic knowledge of modern management t

'Colin Spedding‘s timely book ... succeeds by addressing every issue confronting animal welfarists objectively, scientifically and above all compassionately. This book will be a major contributor to the present and future work of all those committed to improving the welfare of every individual animal'
Peter Davies, Director General, Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

'In a field where argument is often typified more by emotion than hard facts, this logical analysis provides a superb structure for reaching sound and reliable conclusions. Furthermore, Sir Colin has looked into the future and gives us all an insight into the sorts of welfare issues that we may well be confronting in years to come' 
Judy MacArthur Clark, Chairman, Farm Animal Welfare Council 

'I think it is brilliant, and had I Colin Spedding‘s experience and encyclopedic knowledge, I would have been proud to be the author. The book is thoughtful, well-informed, carefully constructed and erudite: it is sure to become a standard text'

'Sociological Noir further expands Kieran Flanagan's unique commentary, over a series of works, on today's social and religious dystopias. As a 'sociological prophet' inhabiting the wilderness boundaries between sociologyand theology, he delves into the shadow side of modern culture, calling both disciplines to account over troubling questions they too often neglect. What is to be said about the nature of our times? Are we post-modern? post-religious? secular? The argument here stakes out the territory as 'post-secular'. - James Sweeney CP, University of London, UK 
'Kieran Flanagan confirms his status as one of the most provocative, creative and original thinkers in the field where sociology and theology meet. Sociological Noir makes us think again about the dark side of modernity and, indeed, about the hidden currents and spirits in the sociological tradition.' - Chris Shilling, University of Kent, UK
'When 'God' -the word- becomes natural in conversation secularization is contravened. That normality emerges in this many-themed book where, for example, suffering and death stand high in Flanagan's ongoing sociological reconnoitering incursions into theological territories. His style fosters a critical curating of modernity and the post-modern through idioms of light, darkness and spectral presences while prompting thought and tempting solutions.' - Douglas J. Davies, Durham University, UK

'A wide-ranging examination of medieval and Renaissance Dubrovnik/Ragusa by the city-republic’s leading scholar.' Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. LI, No. 1  'By gathering those related articles into a single volume, Krekic achiever his goal: he has provided his appreciative readers with a unified picture of a great civilization on the Adriatic coast.' Marianna D. Birnbaum, University of California, Renaissance Quarterly.

Like the printing press, radio, and television in the past, today's communication technologies are vastly reshaping the political landscape. Bowers has been in the middle of this revolution, while Kerbel has had a front-row seat. Together, they place current changes in historical context and persuasively suggest what this era of the Internet means for liberals, conservatives, and the future of American politics.
-- Markos Moulitsas, Founder of Daily Kos
Matthew R. Kerbel and Christopher J. Bowers have written the seminal account of the ascendance of the netroots and the progressive movement that has accompanied it.Next Generation Netrootsdescribes the struggle of the forces on the left to first gain a foothold in the Democratic Party and, more recently, to use the mobilization powers of the Internet to assert a stronger voice in setting policy.This bookis crucial to the understanding of the conflicting forces at work at a time when the direction of the country is deeply uncertain.
-- Thomas B. Edsall, Columbia University
Next Generation Netroots is the book online activists didn't know they were waiting for. Matthew Kerbel and Chris Bowers explain why everything we thought we knew about how to expand the progressive netroots is wrong, and why it's time for a new approach. When what you're doing doesn't work, read this book.

'...an illuminating and fascinating book.' - Jan Harald Alnes, University of Tromso
"Chamizo-Dominguez is a multilingual author who made the most of his knowledge of several languages to write a book with such scope and insightful depth....The diversity of languages, comprehensiveness of analysis, and the author's devotion to the topic make the book an essential reference for all scholars interested in the topic of false friends." --Ahmed Seddik Al-Wahy, The Canadian Journal of Linguistics

About the Previous Edition"Roughly speaking, Green's functions constitute infinitesimal matrix coefficients that one can use to solve linear nonhomogeneous differential equations in an approach alternative to that which depends on eigenvalue analysis. These techniques receive a mention in many books on differential equations. Duffy goes much further toward exposing the detailed workings of important examples (wave equation, heat equation, Hemholtz equation on various domains). … Many plots help the reader picture the behavior of these functions. … a valuable sourcebook."—CHOICE Magazine, March 2002
"The focus of this book is predominantly on low-temperature plasmas, but it contains a wonderful depth of technical material and background for understanding in general much of the laboratory generated plasmas and various applications using laboratory generated plasmas…. Because it is so well written and illustrated, readers will be quickly able to understand and benefit from this book. –IEEE Electrical Insulation (Nov/Dec 2016)

"This updated edition (1st ed., 1997) provides an excellent contemporary survey of the engineering challenges and potential solutions to pending climate changes resulting from anthropogenic effects on the planet's climate processes. The contributing authors and their respective affiliated organizations read as a "who's who" and "where's where" of leadership in engineering for climate change. The content is technically advanced and detailed, with good graphics and relevant illustrations. … the book can serve well as a reference source or textbook for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level engineering course focused on engineering responses to climate change. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers/faculty."— S. R. Walk, Old Dominion University, CHOICE, February 2014
"... addresses the serious matter of climate change causes and responses with appropriate respect for the scales involved, in all respects."—Michael Tobis, University of Wisconsin, Madison
"… an important and timely update of the first edition … not only important for its presentation of the scientific basis of global warming, but also by the fact that it does not ignore the publication of a group of scientists generally referred to as ‘deniers.’ Although it may be convenient to disregard the deniers’ perspective because they represent only a small number of scientists who do not believe in man-made causes for global warming, the position of those deniers gives food to politicians and certain industrial enterprises such as coal and oil industries that benefit financially by delaying any effective action to reduce global warming. … written by some outstanding engineers from many parts of the world and provide some ideas on what mankind can do to make our planet a habitable place for future generations."—Frank Kreith, Professor Emeritus, University of Colorado
Praise for the First Edition"If you have a genuine interest in climate change issues you may wish to make a serious effort to find this book ... focuses on realistic responses and realistic time frames ... Rigorous arguments are presented, not avoiding recourse to mathematics, chemistry, and physics ... substantial space is given both to energy demand reduction and to geo-engineering solutions ... addresses the serious matter of climate change causes and responses with appropriate respect for the scales involved, in all respects."—Michael Tobis, University of Wisconsin, Madison
