"With this book, Eric Anderson is now poised to move us to the next generation of masculinity scholarship. Respectfully building upon the groundbreaking works of Connell, Messner, Kimmel and Sabo, Anderson demonstrates how the lessening of "homohysteria" frees up the expression of masculinities to include previously stigmatized forms. Anderson's unorthodox but impressively expansive research has taken him into more and diverse a range of settings than most ethnographers get to in a life time. This is a very important work because it argues through a lens of combined and uneven gender development. As a result, this is simultaneously a bold and nuanced work... It will, in short order, become a benchmark for studies of masculinity."
—Professor Alan Klein, author of Little Big Men: Body Building Subculture and Gender Construction
"Gender stereotypes tend to portray male athletes and fraternity members as among the most homophobic of men, perhaps as over-compensation for the amount of intensely physical contact they have with each other. Eric Anderson's deft ethnographies enable him to see something else stirring in those locker rooms, something genuinely inclusive. And this becomes the basis for a new theoretical understanding of masculinities—at once compelling and provocative. This is an astonishing book—one rich with insights and suffused with hope."
—Professor Michael S. Kimmel, author of Guyland: The Perilous World Where Guys Become Men.
'While there is growing evidence that homophobia is declining in social life, few people expected to find evidence of this in, of all places, fraternities and men's sports. Set against well-known critiques of these homosocial realms as sites for the reproduction of male hierarchies, Eric Anderson's research gives us some cause for (dare I say it?) optimism.'
—Professor Michael A. Messner, author of It's all for the kids: Gender, Families and Youth Sports. 
"Eric Anderson's latest book is a touchstone for readers to rethink their assumptions about men and masculinities in sport and the contemporary culture. He taps qualitative data to speculate about emerging changes in young men's relationships, emotions, and identities."
—Don Sabo, Ph.D., Professor of Health Policy, D'Youville College
"In this intriguing work, Anderson (policy and social sciences, Univ. of Bath, UK) delivers an ethnographic study of the changing contours of British and US manhood....Recommended."

"This book is a treasure trove for the functional designer, combining all the most pertinent information about body structure, body movement, and body function in one reference. But the book is also a valuable resource for the fashion designer. Every educated designer should read the first two chapters, but the sections on arm and shoulder anatomy and movement, on spinal variations and asymmetry of the body, on the mid-torso (the waist area), and many other sections are as relevant to fashion design as to functional design.One of the best features of this book is that it does not simplify or reduce issues to the ‘norm’, but introduces variation and the full range of body issues. Differences related to sex, age, and body shape and condition are discussed throughout the book. Who would know that not only the dimensions, but also the configuration of the rib cage varies between men and women? It does, and as the authors point out, this fact can impact the design of unisex garments.Last but not least, the explanation of the body from the point of view of the apparel designer has revealed many areas where research is needed, or where unwarranted assumptions have been made. For example, it seems that the neat ordered anatomical models of body structures placing the various organs in relationship to one another were developed from the study of prone cadavers. But the apparel designer is dealing with live bodies in a standing position, and in motion, in which case this neat ordering is not at all accurate. Repeatedly the authors point out that in the absence of studies that focus on the kinds of data needed by apparel designers, precise information is not available. There is potential for many dissertation projects outlined in this text. In illuminating the full complexity of the human body in reference to the job of the wearable product designer, the authors have performed an incalculable benefit to designers. As they state in the book when ‘designers go beyond surface observations of the human body to fully understand anatomy and body function – safe, fully functional and innovative products will result.’ Beyond this, using this book to mentor all our students, whether fashion or functional designers, to develop their designs through informed knowledge of the body will result in better and more fulfilled designers."—ITAA June 2019 Newsletter

'Since 2004 the number of EU Member States has almost doubled, growing from 15 to 28. As the President of the European Commission that has managed this expansion I know that the significance of this extends well beyond arithmetic: it is our mind-sets that have changed. Kaminska's book offers a deep insight into this fascinating process that is so difficult to capture: how the Polish interests, policies, and negotiation strategies transformed in the last ten years and how Poland moved from policy-taker to a genuine policy-shaper.' - José Manuel Durão Barroso, President, The European Commission

'Poland and EU Enlargement is a fascinating study of Poland's place in the EU's foreign and security policy. In exploring both the impact of the EU's role on Poland's foreign policy and the extent of Poland's influence on the EU's external relations it is the most comprehensive assessment of Poland's foreign policy transition to date.' - Richard G. Whitman, University of Kent, UK
