'It matters that the work we do is meaningful, excellent, and beautiful. Jeremy Kidwell's biblically informed theology of craft and analyses of the negative impact of modern labour practices on human well-being invite re-examination of the very foundations of our conceptions of work. Drawing attention to how, in the ancient world, the place of worship was the place of craft-work par excellence, Kidwell revisits creatively the notion of consecration for describing the relationship between work and worship. Innovative and wide-ranging, this is an important new contribution to the theology of work, and wider questions of what's entailed in being human.' – Esther D. Reed, University of Exeter, UK　
'Jeremy Kidwell has offered us an exemplary performance of Christian ethics done in an exegetical key. Going far beyond most of what passes as ‘business ethics’ or ‘theologies of work’, Kidwell delves deep and sensitively into both the problems and promise of work in an information age.' – Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen, UK 

'… with its depth, its clarity, and its superb craftsmanship, Kidwell’s book fulfills his hope that encounters with "the strange worshiping world" of Scripture "might provide a context in which to sing the ethos of God for our workplaces and industries in fresh and creative ways."' – Brian Dijkema, Cardus, Ontario, Canada in Journal of Markets & Morality

'Millar’s well thought through and structured study fulfils the important task of translating many previous theoretical insights and critiques into potential practices.'--Oliver P. Richmond, University of Manchester
'Millar’s constructive criticism of quantitative approaches to peacebuilding design and assessment, complemented by his offer of practical tools, allows critical peacebuilding studies to transform into operative knowledge. This is what makes An Ethnographic Approach to Peacebuilding mandatory reading for anyone ‒ scholar or practitioner ‒ involved or interested, at any rate, in peacebuilding fieldwork.'--Stefano Ruzza, University of Turin, European Review of International Studies (ERIS)

“There is something magnetic, even hypnotic in American Stranger, a novel born aloft by prayer and incantation. Through the meanderings of Nancy's journey in love, Plante seizes the eternal theme of the quest for identity, but invests it with a singular aura and transforms a familiar subject into Terra incognita. The question of religion, especially Jewishness, nourishes the novel and gives it its full depth of field.”

'Developing countries need a much deeper understanding of the process through which technology flows towards them, the way it is acquired and mastered, and its impacts in their domestic economies. They also need to rethink, redesign and upgrade their key science, technology and innovation institutions with a view to improve their effectiveness and efficiency, incorporating best practices from both developed and developing countries. This book goes a long way in this direction, and is edited by some of the most promising scholars from Nigeria. The book is highly recommended.' Jorge Niosi, University of Québec at Montreal, Canada  'Science, technology and engineering education and development are critical to transforming latecomer economies, often from primary commodity producing into knowledge based economies. For instance, the primary, mineral and agricultural based economy has proved to be a burden rather than a help to Africa. It is estimated that something like 268 billion dollars flows out of Africa, and hardly less than 30 billion comes to Africa. The economic structure that allows this gross outflow and inflow dynamics must be changed. It can be changed when works for capacity and competence building like this volume come out. I recommend highly this work that centres science, technology, engineering and innovation for economic development and transformation.'

'...insightful...Recommended.' Choice  ’The Ashgate Research Companion to Modern Imperial Histories is a fluidly written, comprehensive, and authoritative approach to the current state of the knowledge and conceptions of empire that will be an essential tool for students and researchers alike.’ Michael Charney, SOAS, University of London, UK  ’Neither Eurocentric nor restricted to a single privileged historiographical approach, the essays that Levine and Marriot have brought together systematically introduce readers to the breadth - chronological, geographic, and thematic - of modern imperial studies.’ Andrew Zimmerman, The George Washington University, USA  '... an excellent collection of essays which historians of empire (whether senior or junior) will find both useful and stimulating. They have recruited an outstanding team of contributors ... Of particular value is the huge range of references cited, introducing nonspecialists to the latest work in the wide range of sub-fields which imperial history now supports. The book is handsomely produced and surprisingly easy to use. The chapters are briskly and lucidly written and, unlike many volumes of more than six hundred pages, it will hold the attention of even a moderately industrious reader from cover to cover.'

'This book embraces the diversity of diversity; it deals with dimensions rarely covered within the literature. It also gives a significant contribution to the existing literature in diversity management by tackling several angles (global view, critical view, ...), many countries (Balkan countries, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, ...) and a few disciplines (business, social psychology, ...).' Sébastien Point, Strasbourg Business School, France  'A very interesting book about diversity management, which discusses new challenges in this field  transversality and intersectionality but also naming and non-naming, multiple identities, conflicting forces for convergence and divergence, how to impose differences without favouring exclusion and finally how power processes in diversity management can hinder systemic change of inequalities in organizations. It also covers not very well documented countries in diversity management as the Balkan area.' Annie Cornet, University of Liège, Belgium  'Stefan Groschl's book Diversity in the Workplace is a tour de force of the field of diversity at work.  It draws on the leading international scholars on a variety of topical themes of diversity management.  It is a must read for anyone interested in diversity, whether in the public or private sector.'

Wetland and other water-logged soils are of special importance in providing particular ecosystem services such as hydrological buffering, organic carbon storage, habitat and biodiversity source. Sediments play a role of similar importance as components of the aquatic environment at the bottom of water bodies. Both have in common that they also act as sinks for recalcitrant chemicals and as such are increasingly loaded with trace elements of anthropogenic origin. Due to the dominance of anaerobic conditions, the fate of trace elements in water-logged soils and sediments is governed by very different processes and mechanisms in these environments as compared to well-aerated soils. Against this backdrop, it is all the more remarkable how little we still know about these processes and the factors driving them. This book thus is very timely. It is also very comprehensive. In eighteen chapters written by experts in the respective fields, it gives the latest findings and insights into physicochemical factors and reactions controlling the speciation and binding of heavy metals and metalloids in water-logged soils and sediments, their bioavailability and the assessment of associated risks for humans and other recipients, and also on established remediation technology. Several chapters have a focus on redox-sensitive metals and metalloids such as arsenic, selenium, chromium and uranium. Some deal with new contaminants such as rare earth elements, others with ‘usual suspects’ such as cadmium and zinc. While various contributions are devoted to more fundamental aspects such as the kinetics of sorption and desorption processes or the mechanisms governing the retention and mobility of nanoparticles in aquatic environments, others provide insight into the role of particular environments such as paddies and other temporary flooded soils for trace element behavior or present specific case studies, e.g. on the fate of subsurface chromium on the Hanford site. In summary, this book not only fills an important gap in advancing our understanding of the environmental behavior of trace elements in waterlogged soils and sediments, but also gives valuable advice for those applying this knowledge in risk assessment, remediation and management of contaminated wetlands and aquatic environments.

In Trace Elements in Waterlogged Soils and Sediment, editors Rinklebe, Knox and Paller have assembled contributions from an impressive list of accomplished researchers actively working in the field of trace element biogeochemistry as it pertains to waterlogged environmental systems. The book is composed of eighteen chapters roughly divided into three sections focused on fundamental processes, bioavailability, and remediation options. While providing some specific case studies related to a diverse range of contaminated systems, the chapters also contain significant fundamental material that make it equally beneficial to students and more experienced practitioners with interest in this field of study.
