"There is much to admire in this book. Merry is a very skilful academic writer and he argues in a logical and engaging manner, incorporating extensive and interesting footnotes. This is an important book and a significant contribution to scholarship. It is highly recommended."-- Stephen J. McKinney, University of Glasgow

"Especially since 9/11, the West has experienced a desperate need to better understand the Islamic world. In this balanced but critical study, Michael S. Merry tackles the highly controversial issue of identity formation and the education of Muslim children in non-Muslim or even anti-Muslim cultures. In accessible language, Merry articulates the philosophical and political underpinnings of Islamic schooling and then confronts these with the empirical practices of the US, the Netherlands, and Belgium. He not only presents a fully substantiated analysis of the pros and cons of Islamic schooling but also places this analysis within the wider context of the demands and rights of parents, the position of the child, religious education in general, and the obligations of the democratic state for the future of its children. This thought-provoking book is a must for the international audience of educators, policymakers, religious scholars, and philosophers interested in schooling and Islam." - Geert Driessen, Senior Educational Researcher, Radboud University Nijmegen

"This book is a critical defense of the possibility of religious schooling, in general, and Islamic schooling, in particular that is consistent with the tenets of multicultural, liberal democracy. It is well written, thoughtful, well argued and timely given the current interest in Islamic education, Muslim immmigration, and tensions between Islam and democratic societies. Since it is largely a philosophical argument about rather perennial tensions between religious schools and liberal democracy, it is likely to have a longer shelf life than more empirical studies." - Jeffrey A. Milligan, Florida State University

"Caldwell's Virgil Made English is a first-rate study that makes a major contribution to our understanding of the decline of the classics in eighteenth-century literature. Well-researched and well-argued, it is as provocative as it is rigorous." - Robert Markley, Romano Professorial Scholar, Department of English, Unit for Criticism and Theory, University of Illinois

"This is a superb account of Virgil s declining authority from post-Reformation England to colonial America. Sifting through a commanding knowledge of the many editions, translations, miscellanies, parodies of, and keys to Virgil, Caldwell masterfully demonstrates how modern literary activity emerged from the tension between the inherited habit of drawing on Virgil and the increasing need to supplant his outmoded heroic tradition with a new concern for the novel and the domestic. Caldwell s sharply defined dialectic between the receding claims of Virgilian authority and the increasingly clamorous imperatives of contemporary history make Virgil Made English a key sourcebook for all studies of Restoration and eighteenth-century literary culture." - Anna Battigelli, Professor of English, SUNY Plattsburgh

'This book is essential reading for anyone interested in air cargo, this includes students as well as people working in air transport. It gives a well-rounded and comprehensive view of the sector, covering key issues that affect this challenging area. The new edition addresses more recent developments as well as highlights the changes in this sector.' —Robert Mayer, Course Director, Cranfield University, UK
'This is an excellent book about the essential but often overlooked area of air cargo. It’s a must for all students of air transportation' — James Pearson, Coventry University, UK
'Given the fast changing environment and complexities of the air cargo industry this second edition of "Moving Boxes by Air - The Economics of International Air Cargo" is a useful update and extension of the original version. A good textbook and excellent background reading for practitioners.' — Rico Merkert, Deputy Director, Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies, The University of Sydney Business School, Australia
'Air Cargo may be the ‘poor relation’ of the aviation family, but the authors’ comprehensive analysis demonstrates that whilst perhaps never destined to be family head, cargo’s complexity and contribution to the family is underrated. This book proves air cargo is so much more than just ‘moving boxes by air’' —Gordon McJannett,Lecturer in Aviation Management, Coventry University
'It is great to see that this book addresses the various complexities of air cargo transportation and gives insights into every aspect of it. It is therefore truly a must-study for those who want to make a career in purchasing, transportation and logistics. The laymen will discover some of the stuff that happens behind the scenes when they click ‘buy’ while purchasing their cell phone or whatever they are buying online from their favourite e-tailer’s site' — Ram C. Menen, retired aviation and air cargo executive, founding team member of Emirates and TIACA.
"Starting with 'Air cargo traffic and capacity' and ending with 'Air cargo forecasting,' Moving Boxes by Air gives a detailed insight into many of the aspects of what air cargo is about, delivered in such a way that both the new entrants and the 'old hands' in the business won't want to put it down once they've started to read...It is definitely a good reference publication and we feel is one which should gain the attention of air freight managers and their staff around the globe." - John Mc Donagh / Heiner Siegmund, Cargo Forwarder Global

'I love the sense of urgency from Crockett and Robbins. By invoking the earth as subject, they have named our emergency situation today. This book is a true manifesto. It is comprehensive and encyclopedic. And as a renewal of radical theology as an insurrectionary political theology, it just might be a new species of liberation theology. Don't miss this book!' - Cornel West, author of Race Matters, Professor of Philosophy and Christian Practice, Union Theological Seminary, US

"Following Vattimo's postmodern philosophy, Badiou's postmetaphysical ontology, and i ek's revolutionary style, the authors of this marvelous book invites us to reactivate our politics of resistance against our greatest enemy: corporate capitalism. The best solution to the ecological, energy, and financial crisis corporate capitalism has created, as Crockett Clayton and Jeffrey Robbins suggest, is a new theological materialism where Being is conceived as energy both subjectively and objectively. All my graduate students will have to read this book carefully if they want to become philosophers." - Santiago Zabala, ICREA Research Professor at the University of Barcelona

"This is a book of an extraordinary timeliness, written in an accessible and strikingly informative way. It is excellently poised to become a synthetic and agenda setting statement about the implications of a new materialism for the founding of a new radical theology, a new kind of spirituality. I consider this therefore quite a remarkable book which will be influential in ongoing discussions of psychoanalysis, continental philosophy, and theology. Moreover, it will be, quite simply, the best book about spirituality and the new materialism on the market today. While all of the work of the new materialists engage at one level or another the question of a new spirituality, I do not think there is anything comparable in significance to what Crockett and Robbins have provided here." - Ward Blanton, University of Kent

Fifty Key Thinkers on Religion

‘Politics and Psychology have much to say to each other about public and private life. Gabrielle Rifkind follows in the tradition of enhancing both in her illuminating study.’-Susie Orbach
‘An insightful new look at why people might join Islamic State by a true professional.’-Richard Barrett, Former head of the United Nations Al Qaeda /Taliban Monitoring Team
‘We live in a world full of terror and destruction; consequently, very few human beings feel safe.　 Fortunately, Gabrielle Rifkind’s magnificent new book explores the deep psychology of political extremism and terrorism and helps us to acquire a profound insight into the origin of warfare and its possible cure. Rifkind’s ground-breaking and pioneering work as a psychotherapist in international politics serves as a truly creative inspiration, demonstrating the ways in which one can introduce humanity and understanding into a seemingly hopeless situation.’-Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Fellow at Tavistock Relationships, Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology, London, and Senior Clinical Research Fellow at the Centre for Child Mental Health
‘Rifkind's writing has a lightness of touch that only the most thoughtful author in full command of her subject can master. To try to imagine a conversation with Freud about IS is no mean feat. It calls for a playful and bold imagination rooted in an exhaustive　grasp of Freud's work　both of which Rifkind has in abundance.’-Nicola Glucksmann, psychotherapist /analytical psychologist

"This book is notable for its lucid style as well as its comprehensive and systematic coverage of the field of bulk metallic glasses. The topics have been chosen carefully and systematically arranged. This makes the reader rapidly grasp the principles and applications of bulk metallic glasses. The field has attracted a number of books, but they are all edited volumes with multiple authors and lack the focus and coherence of this volume. The book by Suryanarayana and Inoue is definitely a classic."—Srinivasa Ranganathan, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India
"The second edition of Bulk Metallic Glasses provides an indispensable resource on glassy alloys which are at the forefront of contemporary advanced materials. The authors, who are world leaders in the field, are uniquely qualified to provide the balance of breadth and depth of coverage that is valuable to both researchers active in the field as well as those entering the area."—John H. Perepezko, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
"This book provides details on the most recent advances in glass forming, corrosion properties, and mechanical behavior of bulk metallic glasses and covers the latest applications... Those who want to learn about metallic glasses and the synthesis and properties of metallic glasses and how to tailor their properties will find this book to be a very useful resource. It would also be useful for those looking to use metallic glasses in an application. The book provides the necessary background for understanding how metallic glasses can provide a unique type of material behavior that could enable a new application or improve efficiency."
—John J. Shea, IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine

This high-quality hardcover volume is a textbook providing an exposition … on the development and evaluation of antibody-based and other targeted radionuclide therapies … unique in the targeted radionuclide therapy literature.—Medical Physics, May 2012The book covers a very important topic and fills a gap not covered by others. I believe that it will be a very valuable in our education of Ph.D. students and also very valuable for researchers in this area. I will recommend the book to my colleagues.—Professor Sven-Erik Strand, University of LundThe reader is taken on a journey to discover radiopharmaceutical evaluation and dose estimation. The various chapters cover all aspects of radiopharmaceutical development (tumor targeting, preclinical development, selection of radiopharmaceuticals for clinical trials, etc). Chapters dedicated to dosimetry go beyond the usual discussion to cover aspects more related to pharmacokinetics assessment (modeling and temporal integration). Of particular interest are the chapters dedicated to absorbed dose/effect correlation. This is very relevant, especially since recent publications indicate that, in the context of molecular radiotherapy, if the biological end-point is clearly defined and the dosimetric approach is carried out in a rational way, absorbed dose (or derivates) will correlate with observed toxicity or efficacy. The book is written in a very clear style, and is accessible not only to physicists, but to any professional involved in radiopharmaceutical development and clinical or preclinical experiments. All chapters end with a summary that recapitulates the important points addressed in the chapter, and this a very helpful feature of this book.Through 30 years of experience, Prof. Williams shares with us ideas, caveats, and hints applicable to the domain. In the acknowledgements, he indicates his will to ‘put some chips back in the pot.’ This is exactly how I receive this book:
