The Man from Mittelwerk

'Jamie Kassler is the leading authority on Roger North, and over the years she has been responsible for careful and illuminating editions of North’s writings. Her new edition of Of Etimology continues this invaluable editing work. It also provides a monograph-length essay on North’s conception of the persona of the natural philosopher and humanist, integrated into a thoughtful treatment of his life. This essay provides what is now the best starting point for readers coming to North for the first time.' Stephen Gaukroger, University of Sydney, Australia

'This book has much to offer: Kassler exploits North's surviving papers (numbering over fifty thousand leaves) with assiduity to establish greater coherence to North's sprawling intellectual accomplishment… Its comprehensive bibliography and original analysis make it the starting point for future studies of Roger North.' Journal of British Studies

'This is a scholarly and thoughtful work which presents a coherent interpretation of North.' Parergon

'… a most useful contribution to the fund of resources on the tumultuous seventeenth century, as well as providing a new valuation of the very remarkable Roger North and his many pursuits.' Seventeenth Century News

'The Honourable Roger North is a model of how to present scholarly research, with clear, large print, illustrations, and proper, bottom-of-the-page footnotes. References are carefully explained, and there is a large glossary of the common law and other terms North uses that are unfamiliar to modern readers… The book also has an excellent index covering both main parts and the appendices. It will be principally of interest to intellectual historians and historians of English jurisprudence.' Sixteenth Century Journal

'It is only in the last forty years that North’s original manuscripts have been systematically analysed, and Kassler’s research in piecing together, identifying and dating North’s manuscripts and notes will be invaluable to future scholars of his work… The fresh approach to the subject matter and the presentation of new material incorporated into a carefully edited and well-researched volume will be highly anticipated by those studying North and of great interest to historians and philosophers of language, law and politics of this and other periods.' Journal of Eighteenth-Century Studies

The Terrible, Awful Civil War: The Disgusting Details about Life During America's Bloodiest War

&ldquo;An absorbing portrait of a town, told through its unforgettable people&hellip;masterful.&rdquo;-People, four stars&ldquo;[A] dreamy, fabulist series of connected stories... These... tales, with their tight, soft focus on America, cast their own spell.&rdquo;-The Washington Post"Hoffman&rsquo;s writing is so beautiful it&rsquo;s almost painful to read... Hoffman makes the magic she writes about feel so real, as though I could at any moment, find myself in the town of Blackwell and the mysterious garden that bears only red fruit."-Eleanor Brown, author of The Weird Sisters&ldquo;The Red Garden is recommended to readers who enjoy, in addition to beautiful prose, magical realism and different narrators over time... Alice Hoffman is an author not to be missed.&rdquo;-Historical Novels Review"Alice Hoffman, herself a shining star among American novelists, possesses the stunning ability to express the numinous in the most prosaic language. Somehow, without elaborate wordplay, she manages to communicate a yearning interpretation of the life we all live, opening the reader&rsquo;s eyes to the otherworldly riddles that make things appear just a trifle askew&mdash;when we notice them, that is. And Alice Hoffman certainly notices them. One secret of her ongoing appeal, year after year, book after book, is her keen perception. And in The Red Garden, Hoffman delivers a body of stories that explores the depths of reality as well as its enduring quirkiness."-Book Page"In gloriously sensuous, suspenseful, mystical, tragic, and redemptive episodes, Hoffman subtly alters her language, from an almost biblical voice to increasingly nuanced and intricate prose reflecting the burgeoning social and psychological complexities her passionate and searching characters face in an ever-changing world."-Booklist, starred review"Hoffman has done it again, crafting a poignant, compelling collection of fairy tales suffused with pathos and brightened by flashes of magic. Her fans, as well as those of magical realism in general, will be enchanted."-Library Journal, starred review"Fans of Hoffman&rsquo;s brand of mystical whimsy will find this paean to New England one of her most satisfying."-Kirkus Review"The novel moves forward in linked stories, each building on (but not following from) the previous and focusing on a wide range of chracters....The result is a certain ethereal detachment as Hoffman&rsquo;s deft magical realism ties one woman&rsquo;s story to the next even when they themselves are not aware of the connection. The prose is beautiful, the characters drawn sparsely but with great compassion."-Publishers Weekly

’The structures of complex organisations are changing and so must our understanding of them, particularly in the fields of governance and sustainability. This study of water businesses around the world makes a vitally important contribution to our understanding of such business and the new logics under which they operate and provides a roadmap for the future governance of such organisations.’ David Crowther, De Montfort University, UK  ’There is an increasing awareness of the need for new models of management to account for global crises in the financial, environmental and social realms that were created by traditional models of corporate organization. In Sustainable Governance in Hybrid Organizations Linne Lauesen provides a lucid and compelling new model of organizational governance that draws from emerging new knowledge of the virtues of transparency, stakeholder engagement and community involvement. This book is an outstanding model for sustainable governance that will be useful for students, practitioners and citizens interested in sustainable management.’ Roy Suddaby, Winspear Chair of Management at the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, University of Victoria, Canada and Newcastle University Business School, UK  ’Dr Lauesen’s thought-provoking analysis about sustainable governance, corporate social responsibility and stakeholder engagement in hybrid organizations in the water industry after the 2007 financial crisis has the advantage of an author deeply knowledgeable about this subject from a practical and a professional point of view. The book provides solutions designed to be fair, ethical, trustworthy and, crucially, grounded in material practices. If implemented, these would be of immense value to our society far beyond the confines of the water industry.’ Miriam Green, Icon College of Technology and Management, UK  ’This book addresses a topic of current worldwide significance: the quasi-privatization of water management services.

Mueller and Tippins have edited a timely book and the first one of the new Springer Book Series Environmental Discourses in Science Education addressing the urgent need to bridge environmental education and science education. This collection pulls together a diversity of reflections and experiences in a brilliant attempt to establish synchrony between ecojustice philosophy, youth activism and citizen science: three areas that have become an important locus for critical science education at present. I believe this book can strongly contribute to the never ending debate on scientific literacy by providing new views and experiences highlighting alternative ways of doing science education. Mariona Espinet, Science and Mathematics Education Department, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Catalonia, SpainThe authors of this book are all pioneers in meaningful educational transformation. The stories they tell, and the forms these stories take, are incredibly diverse and inspiring—ranging from the pedagogies of farming in Appalachia and New England, to the politics of systems thinking in Texas just north of the Mexican border, to climate change pedagogies in Native communities. As the authors point out, each of these local stories of change has global significance. What holds it all together is an ethic of ecojustice. Here the authors skillfully demonstrate the necessity and power of bridging social and ecological vision in a wide variety of educational contexts in need of change. David A. Greenwood, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, ON, CanadaEcojustice, Citizen, and Youth Activism: Situated Tensions for Science Education, the first book in the series Environmental Discourses in Science Education, speaks to all types of educators—teachers, students, parents, citizens.  It is a call for the restoration of curiosity, diversity, and value systems that embrace person, social, and civic responsibility for the Earth, including both human and non-human species.  This collection of inspirational essays, personal narratives and empirical research provides rich examples of how interdisciplinary and intergenerational groups engage simultaneously in meaningful learning and advocacy through projects that are situated in a range of cultures and contexts.  This book undoubtedly will inspire and inform conversations about a future for science education that awakens our individual and collective critical understanding of and engagement in local, national, and global ecojustice issues.Lynn A. Bryan, Professor of Science Education, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA At last, science educators are breaking down the rigid walls of their discipline and embracing the world at large, developing socially responsible science curricula and pedagogies for the 21st Century. Driven by a moral commitment to sustaining the cultural and environmental heritage of the planet, eco-conscious science educators worldwide are empowering young people to become environmental activists and stewards. The visionary contributors to this timely book present a broad range of ecojustice inspired science programs for schools, universities and local communities. This book is a rich resource for science educators preparing future citizens with higher-level abilities for participating in the global agenda of sustainable development. Peter Charles Taylor, Professor of STEAM Education, Murdoch University, Australia

’Rural areas across the world are changing rapidly. To make sense of these changes, we need new and innovative ways of thinking. This book makes a great contribution to these important problems. As editors, Peter Dannenberg and Elmar Kulke have brought together a good range of contributors to address a wide variety of case studies. It should be read by researchers across the spectrum of rural studies.’ Bill Pritchard, University of Sydney, Australia  ’The empirically rich case studies across the continents in Economic Development in Rural Areas refresh our views of the variegated content of rural as a site for development and show new and intriguing directions in market-making initiatives.' Richard Le Heron, University of Auckland, New Zealand  ’This book is an excellent contribution to the existing literature regarding transformations of rural societies and economic spaces. The fascinating collection of case studies from the Global North and South is highly recommended for researchers as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students.’ Christine TamÃ¡sy, University of Vechta, Germany

Doctrines of Grace

'Mark Sherrington has done it all - big corporate assignments at home and abroad, and joint founder of one of the world's most exciting marketing consultancy companies. Here is his book about how to do it based on how he's done it - a mind-expanding read and the kind of practical guide to great marketing that you've been looking for.' - Andrew Seth, former CEO of Lever Brothers, and Chairman of Added Value

'This book is a must read for both senior and junior executives who are seeking growth...In too many businesses marketing is not seen as the driving force of growth. This is a missed opportunity for both the business and the marketing function. Many of the insights and learnings in the book have been used in my business, with Mark's help, with strong success and excellent results. I hope my competitors don't read it.' - Keith Weed, Chairman, Lever Faberge

'Added Value does what it says on the packet. At last, a practical guide for Marketing in the 21st century. Few people can match Mark's blend of commercial experience and creative intellect and even fewer can describe how to make a company marketing-led in such a simple but profound way. Read and apply: you'll find your organisation stronger for it.' - Martin Glenn, President, Walkers Snacks Ltd

'A great read. Mark Sherrington comes alive from the page! It's not only loaded with practical approaches to marketing and some fascinating case studies, but is interwoven with Sherrington's unique ability to inspire by seeing business opportunity from a different perspective...A brilliant book and a must read not only for any marketing professional, but for anyone who wants to add value to their business.' - Alan McWalter, former Marketing Director of Marks & Spencer
Based on his unique perspective from leading one of the world's top marketing consultancies, Mark Sherrington has crafted a book that will inform and inspire marketers regardless of their background or experience. Added Value is the best kind of business book - creative, well reasoned, and practical. The 5 I's process that is outlined will unquestionably make you a better and more successful marketer.' - Professor Kevin Lane Keller, Amos Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College

'I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who's interested in strategy. I particularly recommend it for any advertising planners, because it looks at the entire marketing discipline and its role for businesses. It cleverly debunks many of the myths we hear about marketing and...talks a great deal of common sense and covers key issues, such as innovation. It also discusses impact, return on investment and measurement in an interesting way. It talks about the importance of ideas, looks at insight and clarifies where research can help - and when it hinders. And it wraps all this up in a fascinating way with some good analogies and real-life examples.' - John Wood, Managing Director, bds beechwood, Marketing

'...this is a highly readable, engaging and practical book about real marketing and what it can achieve in successful growth for a wide range of businesses. Mark Sherrington writes with the wit and wisdom of someone who has been there, done that, consulted on it, made the mistakes and lived to tell a good tale...packed with examples and anecdotes...an excellent practitioner-based book for those interested in marketing and company growth...Mr Sherrington has a gift for simplifying complexity and jargon. His summaries of 'The Stuff That Gets in The Way' at the end of each chapter are a particular triumph. So many great ideas get blocked by corporate politics and lack of determined implementation. It is refreshing to have this practical and wise perspective here - and indeed throughout the book.' - Rita Clifton, Chairman of Interbrand, The Financial Times

'Sherrington reveals where to look for innovation and, importantly, how to realise when you've found it...It doesn't matter what industry or sector you operate in, strategy encounters the same problems. Sherrington offers ways of doing things differently, using examples from his own experience. Each page contains gems. An inspiring read, written with flair and humour.' - Marketing Business
