&#160;"Josh Allen sets 13 creepy tales in a realm even redder in tooth and claw than the wilderness: middle school. Short and sharp, the stories in 'Out to Get You' mingle the ordinary with the supernatural in a way that will spook and gratify readers&#160; . . .&#160; Sarah J. Coleman&rsquo;s illustrations add a touch of freakiness to quick-reading tales of 'weirdness and woe.'"&mdash;The Wall Street Journal"Is normal the real myth in this wondrously eerie world? . . .

13 Tales of Weirdness and Woe

Out to Get You

"Joseph Luna’s book is an invaluable aid to policy professionals, academics and development planning practitioners to understand the problem of public policy and corruption. It is evidence-based and combines empirical knowledge with in-depth theoretical and historical knowledge. It is a required reading for academics, policy makers as well as students." — Kwame A. Ninsin, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, University of Ghana
"This is an exceptional contribution to the study of political financing. Luna unpicks the dynamic interactions among key players with impressive analytical precision, deftly applying game theory and collective action models to examine his cases. He tells a story that will resonate with scholars of political corruption and clientelism everywhere, yet also illuminates several features of low-resource contexts which amplify the usual pressures on political actors. The book is also a gripping read, fluently written and rich with the personalities and narratives of the protagonists." — Elizabeth Dávid-Barrett, Senior Lecturer in Politics and Director of the Centre for the Study of Corruption, University of Sussex, UK
"This is a very timely book and the author has done a tremendous job of synthesizing a large amount of both theoretical and empirical evidence. I very much enjoyed reading this book. It shows the innovative ways party politicians circumvent the procurement rules to promote party politics at the grassroots. What interests me most is the author’s analysis of the ‘Iron Square’ of political finance in Ghana. The ‘Iron Square’ represented by bureaucrats, party chairs, contractors and MMDCEs (politicians) is significant and may be applicable to other African democracies. Certainly, this book a relevant addition to the growing body of knowledge on political financing in Africa’s electoral democracies. It is a must read for any student of party politics in Africa and beyond." – George M. Bob-Milliar, Department of History and Political Studies, KNUST-Kumasi, Ghana

'Lowe and Joel’s thematic approach to remembrance of the Cold War provides an important, and hitherto overlooked, lens upon the epoch defining contest: seemingly ubiquitous, the differing national experiences of the Cold War are expertly considered.'
Dr J. Simon Rofe, SOAS, University of London
'Scholarship on historical memory of twentieth century wars and the holocaust have been highly fashionable in the past decade. Remembering the Cold War opens up a vast new field of investigation into the historical memories of the Cold War. The introductory chapter introduces the general reader to the vast theoretical literature on memory studies in easily comprehensible form. The Cold War was a global event and this innovative study covers sites of memory from Vietnam to Australia, from Berlin, Prague and Budapest to California. Numerous pictures taken by the authors of Cold War lieux de memoire add a stunning visual history to this fine text, opening up a fertile new field of study. This book is a must read.'
Dr Günter Bischof, University of New Orleans, USA
'Remembering the Cold War is an accessible and innovative exploration of the ways that this extraordinary era in world politics is evoked and recast in our contemporary moment. The book is unique in its approach to the Cold War as an object of our common memories. It is a timely and welcome contribution to the general field of Memory Studies.' 

Andrew Oppenheimer, formerly of Maastricht University, The Netherlands

"William Appleman Williams was an American original, a radical public intellectual with a pathbreaking analysis of expansion as the dynamic of American history and a vision of how America might be different. The authors, admiring yet critical, have a masterful command of the historical and political context necessary to grasp the shaping of Williams thought and gauge his remarkable influence. This lucid intellectual biography makes Williams accessible to a new generation coming to grips with empire as an American way of life." -- Alfred F. Young, Senior Research Fellow, Newberry Library". . . fair-minded and rigorously researched, as well as exceptionally interesting. This thoughtful biography of a major, if now neglected, American intellectual is recommended . . ." -- Publishers Weekly"Paul M. Buhle and Edward Rice-Maximin . . . have brought back all the participants, the theories, the arguments, the alliances; the whole disrupting shebang of the late fifties and early sixties . . . This is a lively intellectual biography by radical participants of the struggles it brings back to life." -- The Nation". . . a superb study of the genesis of an American radical and a proprietary patriot." -- Chronicles"For those of us who knew Bill Williams as a teacher, colleague, friend or public figure, this book is guaranteed to fill in many gaps in our knowledge of one of the intellectual giants of the United States, post 1950. For those who have not yet been exposed to his scholarship...this book provides an excellent introduction to...all his major works." -- Monthly Review"Buhle and Rice-Maximin have written a necessarily difficult book, for Williams' thought is subtle, complex, and profound, but it is a good job, well-balanced considering that it was written only a few years after Williams's death in 1990." -- People's Culture

'The editors have come up with a solid text that will prove useful for undergraduates and graduates alike. Its well-known contributors provide insight on a wide range of subjects, and the inclusion of nonviolent civil resistance as a key component of the field sets this text apart from many others. Overall, the text gives students a range of tools to handle international conflict and to work towards conflict transformation and global change.'-- Landon E. Hancock, Kent State University, USA 

'This book provides an exceptionally comprehensive and compelling collection of insights on international conflict management. Hallward and Butcher have brought together the voices of top contributors from around the world who expertly integrate findings from theory and practice while grappling with both historical and newly emerging issues and ideas. The volume will be a must-read text for students and also a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners. '--Julie M. Norman, University College London (UCL), UK
'Understanding International Conflict Management is essential reading for anyone interested in the practical utility of peace and conflict studies. It is theoretically sophisticated and introduces readers to the fundamentals of negotiation theory, resistance studies, and long term peacebuilding, justice and reconciliatory processes. It does all of this while focusing a conflict management lens on critical 21st century issues such as social media for the public good, gender based conflict, refugees and migration and the biggest existential dilemma of all climate change and conflict. I heartily endorse it for everyone interested in peaceful social change and transformation.'--Kevin P Clements, National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Otago, New Zealand
'Understanding International Conflict Management provides an exhaustive overview of international conflict management mechanisms ranging from negotiations to peacekeeping to transitional justice. Butcher and Hallward expertly tie together a wide array of perspectives on conflict management, helping readers to understand the current state of the field in an interdisciplinary way. For those seeking to understand conflict management mechanisms and the cross-cutting issues they help to address, this is an excellent resource.'--Krista E. Wiegand, University of Tennessee, USA
