"The authors of this excellent book investigate puzzles in the domain of Asian security studies and contrast agent-centered solutions provided by neoclassical realist theory with system-oriented solutions provided by structural neorealist theory. Prospect theory is employed to enrich a rational choice account of internal and external constraints on security decisions in the Asia-Pacific region. The results are fruitful, coherent, and cumulative, advancing our understanding of the interplay of causal mechanisms within two traditions of international relations theory as well as two models of foreign policy decision-making theory."
—Stephen G. Walker, Arizona State University
"This book takes up a wide range of enduring and yet timely topics, such as the genesis of the U.S. hub-and-spokes alliance system in Asia and the evolving interactions regarding North Korea's nuclear program. He and Feng bring together these cases under a unifying theme of risk-taking (or risk-avoidance) behavior by leaders depending on whether these officials' political legitimacy is under strain or relatively secured. The book makes a contribution to the study of Asia Pacific relations by extending an important non-rationalist theory to the study of significant substantive and policy questions, and by adding to the growing body of literature on how prospect theory can inform our understanding about foreign policy decisions."
—Steve Chan, University of Colorado, Boulder

'Its value is in its analysis of the circumstances and contexts that guide decisions that are otherwise considered irrational. In that sense, prospect theory's utility is deconstructing the risky behaviour in international relations a little more and this book demonstrates how it fits into the context of East Asian scenarios.'
—Avinash Godbole, Insight Turkey

'Lucidly written and erudite, Galia Ofek’s beautifully illustrated book is destined to be the definitive study of the Victorian obsession with hair.' Deborah Denenholz Morse, College of William & Mary, USA  ’...a carefully theorized reading of hair in terms of fetishism and transgression (including Victorian concepts of the fetish as well as a post-Freudian understanding) ...’  Times Literary Supplement  ’Scholars interested in Victorian literature and culture will definitely appreciate the originality of this work, and will be able to retrace the familiar paths of well-known authors and their works under an unusual, fascinating perspective.’  Rivista di Studi Vittoriani  '... should appeal to all interpreters of Gaskell's rich and subtle writing, to show how her use of detail feeds into a bold alignment of criticism of social, sexual and religious intolerance.'  Gaskell Journal  '... an impressive body of research. [...] I would hope that [Ofek's] work helps us understand our own amused, ironic, and slightly embarrassed fascination with the many Liliths, Medusas, and Rapunzels whose uncanny images appear and reappear in Victorian literature and culture...' Pre-Raphaelite Studies  '[Ofek's] finely-spun text will prove valuable to many a Victorian scholar but also to every reader interested in the culture of the period. The book is well-written, well-documented and includes a long and useful bibliography. In its overall scope and its step-by-step commentaries on individual texts (for this is where Ofek is at her best), it is both a fine piece of scholarship and an enjoyable read.'  Cahiers victoriens et édouardiens  'Galia Ofek's book delivers impressively more than its quiet, albeit studious, title promises. ... The scholarship of Representations of Hair in Victorian Literature and Culture is enhanced by tens of illustrations carefully chosen and reproduced... The book is a highly informative read for Victorianists, and, due to the breadth of its theoreti

’This insightful volume places housing at the center of our understanding (examination, exploration) of the urban. By locating the housing question at the nexus of politics, governance and space, Murphy and Hourani realign core urban studies and decenter what is often a U.S. and European based focus.  While not neglecting embodied concepts of home, this volume integrates the global and local by drawing upon a range of disciplines and cities in the Global South and Eastern Europe. Ultimately Murphy and Hourani, advocate an approach that is both scholarly and activist, a critical and unique combination for addressing questions of housing inequality today.’ Setha M. Low, The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, USA

’From the first chapter to the last, Houston's readings of the works she discusses each offer lucid and insightful accounts of the ideas embodied in them and of the variety of forms in which those ideas are presented. This engaging book illuminates major themes in the intellectual and cultural history of the early modern Europe, not just England.’  David Harris Sacks, Reed College, USA  'For all readers interested in utopian literature, in Renaissance political thought, Reformation theology, and British history, ChloÃ« Houston's The Renaissance Utopia is a well-written, highly instructive, and recommendable contribution to the critical literature on utopia.' Review of English Studies  'The Renaissance Utopia provides a thorough, enjoyable introduction to the development of early modern utopian literature; its analysis of both canonical and marginal figures associated with the tradition will be valuable to students and researchers alike.' Cambridge Quarterly  'The Renaissance Utopia threads the complex nuances of utopian literature of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries into a tapestry of superb scholarship. It is an extremely interesting book that is well written and easy to read. The book should be in the library of anyone who is interested in English history and literature of this period as well as utopian studies.' Parergon

'... the editors are to be congratulated on a collection of essays that combine to form a thorough reassessment of the relationship between private devotion and the public liturgy.' History  'In aggregate, these essays offer some intriguing insights into the subject matter.' Renaissance Quarterly  'This is an excellent and illuminating collection that not only deepens our understanding of lived religion in Protestant England and Scotland; it also showcases some of the innovative new directions and methodologies employed by those studying early-modern religious cultures.' Catholic Historical Review  '... this is an invaluable collection for enhancing our knowledge of a whole range of domestic pious practices, and of ’private’ devotion more generally ... with this rich and wide-ranging volume we know a lot more about domestic devotion than we did before.' English Historical Review  '...their willingness to go beyond the printed sources to mine personal letters, commonplace books and other manuscript sources makes this an especially valuable study.'

"This book is timely and thought provoking, rarely does a book on Gender equality explore the relationship betweenresearch, theory, practise and action with such rigour, insight and relevance from a global context. Each author presents leading edge contributions which advance stimulating and distinctive debates to the study of diversity and equality. The ingenious accounts provide critical insights and new impetus to the study of gender equality. The book is evocative, an invaluable resource for scholars, students and practitioners across the social sciences. A must read, which makes an outstanding contribution." –Kiran Trehan,University of Birmingham, UK
"This thought provoking book challenges our current understanding and implementation of the core concept of gender equality as embodied in the CEDAW Convention and rightfully calls for more comparative analyses of ways and gaps encountered in its incorporation at the national level. As such it contributes better understanding of obstacles and measures needed in achieving gender equality as established goal No 5. of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda." –Dubravka Simonovic, UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, its Causes and Consequences
"This timely volume addresses a long standing core question and dilemma in feminist theory and more generally work on gender equality. This is the underlying and often normative universalism of what human rights imply, and in particular concepts such as gender equality in contrast to national and local gender regimes. Drawing on an empirically rich variation of examples from different parts of the world, we come to learn about the complexity and challenges involved in applying definitions and concept related to human rights and social injustice. With a point of departure in a common set of questions of what gender equality means, the different chapters of the book addresses how international law, policies, and regulatory frameworks needs to be understood in their particular contexts. It is a refreshing and much sought for perspective that teaches us that gender equality is never only about gender." –Ulf Mellström, Karlstad University, Sweden

’Lucy’s Pearson’s research analyses the influences which have shaped children’s publishing in the UK, and contextualises its growth in the social and economic events of the times. This is an original contribution to the literature, based on sound and thorough investigation, including interviews, textual analysis and historical research.  It is a valuable addition to the discourse on publishing history generally, and children’s publishing history in particular’.  Robyn Sheahan-Bright, co-editor with Craig Munro of Paper Empires: A History of the Book in Australia 1946- 2005   'This is a very useful account of various aspects of children’s publishing in the 1960s and 1970s...'  Children’s Books History Society Newsletter  'This book is an illuminating and well-researched study that goes beyond the individual imprints and editors Pearson discusses, to provide a fascinating account of the children's literature field in Britain in the 1960s and '70s. Her work should be a valuable resource for scholars of the literature as well as the history of the period.' Children’s Literature Association Quarterly  ’I found Lucy Pearson’s book a fascinating account of a period through which I lived.’  Souvenir, The Journal of the Violet Needham Society  'You will not ... be able to escape the conclusion, after reading this valuable addition to the history of children's publishing, that this was indeed a deeply significant period of development that left a permanent imprint upon the publishing industry we know today. [A] highly readable and engrossing account ...' Publishing Research Quarterly  'I found Lucy Pearson's book a fascinating account ...' Publishing History  '[Pearson] skillfully assesses Britain’s publication industry during the 1960s and 1970s and its evolving dynamic while expertly weaving in scores of primary texts to illustrate her argument. Detailed, well-supported, and highly informative, Pearson’s study is a welcome and valuable addition t
