’Graeme Orr has produced a brilliant and compelling account of the role of ritual in elections. This book should be required reading for constitutional lawyers and electoral administrators who will come to understand that the act of voting is but one moment in a far bigger cultural drama.’ Stephen Coleman, University of Leeds, UK, and author of How Voters Feel ’In this important book, Graeme Orr goes a long way to helping us understand why elections matter so much. Beyond the mere casting and counting of votes, they consist of practices and processes that are imbued with deep meaning. This account of how the law provides a canvas upon which that meaning may be painted is masterful.’ Andrew Geddis, University of Otago, New Zealand, and author of Election Law in New Zealand ’This is a masterly book - imaginative in conception, brilliantly executed, and above all beautifully written. Professor Orr is not only one of our best election lawyers, but also one of our most elegant and accessible legal writers. His original and skilful account of the ritual and rhythms of election day is both a work of great scholarship and a compelling read.’ Keith Ewing, King's College London, UK, and author of The Cost of Democracy ’Departing from the usual demographic-quantitative accounts, Graeme Orr offers an engaging, thoroughly researched interpretation of the tenor and cadence of the rituals of electoral politics, rituals redolent with intriguing symbolism and meaning.’ Ron Hirschbein, California State University, USA, and author of Voting Rites ’In a radical departure from the usual writing about elections, Graeme Orr offers a fascinating sociology of elections, unmasking them as important rituals with deep social and affective significance. He persuades us that elections are not just about rules and numbers, winners and losers; they also operate on a social-systems level as indispensable occasions for political communion and the renewal of democratic com

"A virtue of Orr’s book is that it compels the reader to think about how election law, as a subject, ought to be characterised (…) Orr’s detailed and important study is instructive and timely in this regard, and highly relevant to domestic debates about how law can help foster a better electoral culture." - Heather Green, University of Aberdeen

PRIZE: Shortlisted for the Society of Army Historical Research 2008 Templer Medal.   ’Doctrine and Reform in the British Cavalry, 1880-1918, is a deeply researched, clearly written, and brilliantly argued examination of the evolution of British cavalry organization, doctrine, and practice from 1880 through World War I. In the process, Stephen Badsey stands many half examined shibboleths on their heads and deepens our understanding of the conduct of both the Boer War and World War I. Even more importantly, he compels his readers to consider the issue of when it became technically feasible for motor transport to replace the horse. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the military history of the early twentieth century because many of his arguments have universal application. It is my sincere conviction that this is not only a very well done book but also potentially a very important one.’  Dr Edward Raines, U.S. Army Center of Military History, USA  ’Influencing any sensible scholar who wishes to understand the period.... The appearance of [this] book has filled a gap.’  Professor Richard Holmes, author of Tommy: The British Soldier on the Western Front   ’A great work of intense and splendid scholarship.’  The Marquis of Anglesey, author of A History of the British Cavalry  ’... [a] very readable and erudite book.’ Journal of Military History  ’In all, an eye-opening work worthy of study by Great War specialists.’ Stand To!  ’... this is a most significant contribution to the historiography of the British Army, and its appearance in print is to be welcomed.’ Journal of British Studies  ’... widely researched, carefully argued and absorbing book... Everyone interested in the history of British cavalry, and indeed of the British Army in this period, should read this book... It is fascinating and informative.  It is also beautifully produced.’ Soldiers of the Queen  ’... an accessible and highly readable style... a maste

&ldquo;On a tiny street in Copenhagen, Rel&aelig; is casually overturning every convention of fine dining. With its naked oak tables, bistro-style service, and humble index of ingredients (you&rsquo;re more likely to eat cod skin than caviar), nothing about the setting speaks of exclusivity. And yet the restaurant is unmistakably among the finest in the world. Christian Puglisi is meticulous in his technique, rigorous in his thinking, and&mdash;even more impressive&mdash;humble in his delivery. The result is exactly what you see here: food that is artful, challenging, understated. This cookbook, like its namesake, is a delicious revolution.&rdquo;&#160; &ndash;Dan Barber, chef of Blue Hill and author of The&#160;Third&#160;Plate&ldquo;With this book, Christian Puglisi demonstrates why he&rsquo;s one of the most influential contemporary chefs in the world. Since Rel&aelig;&rsquo;s inception, we&rsquo;ve seen his ideas and aesthetics emulated in kitchens from New York to the very north of Sweden. Now we have the definitive document of his accomplishments, a book that shares his modern, daring, and singular concepts. An instant classic&mdash;and, dare I say, a masterpiece.&#8203;&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Ren&eacute; Redzepi, chef of Noma and author of Ren&eacute;&#160;Redzepi:&#160;A&#160;Work&#160;in&#160;ProgressCopenhagen chef Christian Puglisi turns the cookbook form inside out with his first cookbook. Named after his restaurant,&#160;Relae&#160;is more a series of philosophical essays than a standard cookbook (although it does have recipes). If you've got a restaurant aficionado on your list, this is the glossy chef book they'll want this year.&mdash;Eater.com

"If the much talked about politics of green transformations during the post-2009 era is to be more than another fad, it will have to find traction in the world’s cities where the majority of the population now lives. This book convincingly argues that this is starting to happen as ‘urban experiments’ mushroom across the global regions of the world. This first provocative review of the evolutionary potential of these actually existing processes of change starts off in Chapter 2 with a remarkably useful definition of ‘urban experimentation’ that is then explored by people from many different disciplines and perspectives. The analyses emerging from this book raise the possibility that ‘urban experimentation’ may well be the emergent mode of governance that replaces both bureaucratic managerialism and the business-led public-private partnerships that underpinned neo-liberal corporatism and splintered urbanism. Entrepreneurs, innovators and knowledge networks become the new players in a world where cities become laboratories for the future." Professor Mark Swelling, Distinguished Professor of Sustainable Development in the School of Public Leadership, Stellenbosch University, South Africa.

"Students, researchers and practioners will find inspiration in this text from the extremely clear and succinct theorisations in section one, the illustrative case studies in section two and the insightful reflections in section three. While undoubtedly the collection reveals conceptual and empirical gaps in the field, this in itself is also productive in suggesting new directions for research and understanding." – Robert Shaw, Newcastle University, UK

The Experimental City

’This probing, ambitious and lucid book is the first major attempt to connect Hannah Arendt's work to contemporary sociology. It succeeds brilliantly and will be a vital source for all who wish to engage with Arendt's challenge to sociology and to the social sciences more generally.’ Peter Baehr, Lingnan University, Hong Kong  ’Philip Walsh has accomplished something remarkable in this book. He has combined a contextual history of Arendt’s problematic relations to sociology, a deep reflection on some of the central themes of recent sociological thought, and an explication of her complex scheme of surrogates for more traditional social theoretical concepts.’  Stephen Turner, University of South Florida, USA  ’This is an important and accessible book that critically mediates debates in contemporary sociology in light of Hannah Arendt's work. Addressed primarily to sociologists, it successfully moves beyond Arendt's critique of sociology to show the way her insights can provide a significant and much needed corrective to the discipline's current state of theoretical pluralism. The book's great accomplishment is the way it uses Arendt's formulations to examine the conceptual strengths and deficiencies of theorists from Marx, Weber, Simmel, Mead and Mannheim, to Goffman, Giddens, Bourdieu, Baumann, Marcuse, Habermas, Archer and Lukes.' Kieran Bonner, St. Jerome's University at the University of Waterloo, Canada  [Translated from French] 'Rich in detail and explanation but still very clear, Walsh’s book performs the painstaking work of constructing the thought of Arendt (or even re-constructing when it comes to the question of knowledge) to engage or re-engage and question the concepts themselves away from the subject as a whole, in a complete perspective of the discipline which thus allows the thinking on not only the proliferation of theoretical paradigms and concepts (p. 3). Since this is the explicit objective of the book, it appears not only to ha
