"Rare are the scholarly studies that combine timeliness, impressive originality, and acutely precise and detailed analysis with a gently reassuring sense that we are not so much engaged in 'criticism' as being invited to read over a writer's shoulder and catch the very passions and wonder that they might have felt as they read. What a delight then to come at last upon Roberta Rubenstein's Virginia Woolf and the Russian Point of View." - Woolf Studies Annual

"Rubenstein's readings and the discussions are never other than subtle, perceptive, and persuasive." - Virginia Woolf Bulletin

"A scrupulous and illuminating exploration of Virginia Woolf's long and deep engagement with early-twentieth-century 'Russophilia,' Rubenstein's new study examines the impact of such major figures as Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, and Turgenev on both Woolf's critical theory and her aesthetic practice. The book will be welcomed not only by Woolf scholars but, more generally, by students and theorists of modernism and narrative." - Sandra M. Gilbert, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California, Davis

"In this much needed study of the 'imaginative residue of the Russian writers' in Virginia Woolf's thought and work, Rubenstein convincingly shows how reading and re-reading Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, and Turgenev at crucial times in her career affected Woolf's development and evolution as a modernist. Thorough consideration of cultural forces, close readings of numerous texts both British and Russian, and meticulous research inform this clearly written argument, and as a bonus, Rubenstein invites us into Woolf's workshop by providing well-footnoted transcriptions of all the available reading notes, drafts, and typescripts on the Russians in the archives. What a valuable contribution to Woolf studies!" - Beth Rigel Daugherty, Otterbein College and co-editor of Approaches to Teaching Woolf's To the Lighthouse

"Virginia Woolf and the Russian Point of View is distinguished by its clarity, elegance of prose, lack of jargon, and careful analysis of possible Russian influence on Woolf's fiction. Readers also gain an introduction to individual Russian texts through Rubenstein's eyes as she trains her gaze on these texts as if looking over Woolf's shoulder." - Ruth O. Saxton, Professor of English, Mills College

'...provides novel understandings of children's everyday food practices and experiences, any why children eat what they do. Such perspectives are notably missing from the public health debates about childhood obesity and could fill a significant gap...a valuable edition to Childhood Studies and Food Studies' - Canadian Journal of Sociology

'...[a] timely contribution...The editors succeed in their attempt to broaden our understanding by pointing to the complexity surrounding children as consumers and social actors across the ages and in different social and cultural locations when engaged in such an everyday practice as eating.' - Dr. Ulla Gustafsson, Network, BSA

Betrachtungen zu ausgewählten Themenkomplexen aus Max Webers Studie "Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus"

As he clearly demonstrates in this book, the field of Hindu-Christian studies is both blessed and burdened with a relatively long, mixed ancestry and while some readers will want to question Clooney’s emphasis on the theological (rather than, say, the anthropological or sociological) aspects of Hindu-Christian engagements, and may also find his focus on Roman Catholic (Jesuit) figures too narrow, they will nevertheless find here a thoroughly readable account of a series of fascinating historical interactions. Daniel J. Soars, Clare College, University of CambridgeFrancis X. Clooney, SJ, a pioneer in developing the method of ‘comparative theology’ through his own study of Hinduism, offers us an excellent and illustrative introduction to it by telling us the story of Hindu–Christian studies in India from an analytic perspective. The missionary approach of Christians and the defensive reaction of Hindus slowly evolve, helped by the modern study of religion, into the discovery of a common space where faith can meet faith without abandoning intellectual rigour or religious identity. Clooney carefully points to both the challenges and benefits of intelligent, attentive, theologically grounded exchange. The book is a ‘must read’ for anyone interested in comparative theology and in Hindu–Christian studies. Michael Amaladoss, S.J., Director of the Institute for Dialogue with Cultures and Religions, IndiaFrancis X. Clooney, SJ, has carefully mapped Christian–Hindu interactions since their inception to now, demonstrating the longevity, sophistication, and complexity of those interactions, attending carefully to perspectives in each tradition. Highlighting forgotten instances wherein each took the other seriously, and couched in a sympathetic and nuanced Catholic theological perspective, The Future of Hindu–Christian Studies also addresses important issues arising in theology and religious studies today.

A Theological Inquiry

The Future of Hindu-Christian Studies

"This book is an informative addition to the literature responding to the current renewed interest in the history of the discipline. By taking as its temporal scope the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, it constitutes a healthy reminder that our contemporary theorizing on IR rests on a long-developing pattern of inquiry and that the most recent expression of an observation may not constitute the most profound or apt formulation. By taking as its geographical/cultural/political scope the writings of British international thinkers, it recognizes the need for focus in such an investigation, and it provides a ready-made response to the inevitable special pleaders who would ask, But where is my favorite writer? Given the increasing attention paid to the contributions of the English School to IR theory, it is both a timely intervention and a valuable resource." - David Clinton, Professor of Political Science, Baylor University

'The book stands as a fascinating and useful contribution both to mid-Victorian fiction studies and to the cultural history of events in France...Overall the book exemplifies thoughtful interdisciplinarity at its best.' - Matthew Ingleby, TLS

Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities and the French Revolution

'The novelty of Darrel Moellendorf's book resides in taking a clear global perspective on a number of issues that can be truly said to affect almost everyone in the world. They are global inequality, global institutions of governance, global climate change Dr. Moellendorf shows how this change of perspective often alters our conclusions (which we tend to draw by looking more narrowly at nation-states only) and how this may be the most appropriate perspective to take in an era of globalization like ours. His emphasis on equal personal respect owed to every individual, and on global equality of opportunity is most welcome. This is a book which, because of its candid global perspective and the arguments it makes, will be read and cited by specialists from numerous fields.' - Branko Milanovic, Development Research, World Bank, USA
Moellendorf carves out and defends underexplored, promising territory in the philosophy of international justice. Those who argue that rich countries have robust positive obligations to aid poor ones tend to reject the idea that justice is a function of any association between them, whereas those who object to such obligations tend to think that justice requires an association, usually political or cultural, that is absent at the international level. Moellendorf resourcefully argues for a third way: justice between states depends on a kind of association that exists between them and that entails weighty positive duties on the wealthy to reduce global inequality by changing, e.g., existent trade and climate treaties. Displaying terrific philosophical and empirical erudition, tempering normative ideals with realistic prescriptions, and providing comprehensive discussions of the literature while avoiding jargon and minutiae, this book will be accessible and revealing reading for anyone interested in what states owe to each other in a globalized world. -Thaddeus Metz, Humanities Research Professor, University of Johannesburg, South Africa

'Darrel Moellendorf's timely book is a welcome addition to the literature of Global Ethics. It is well argued and offers the gift of a path for applying adroitly philosophical arguments to solve vexing contemporary global problems.' Eddy M. Souffrant, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, UNC Charlotte, USA

'The author is faithful to the General Theory while bringing in prior and following writings of Keynes at the proper places in the arguments, as well as making judicious use of secondary sources. Students should come away from reading this fine book with a very good overview as well as knowledge of the details of the General Theory and its setting.' - G.C.

"The variety of provocative approaches, new critical inquiries, and challenges to comfortable but worn ways of thinking embodied in this collection returns to us a variety of American Wests that have much to tell us about our multiple pasts and our various futures." - Great Plains Quarterly

"These essays expand one s understanding of western terrain through multiple axes: geographical, political, historical, and cultural. The contributing scholars challenge the received knowledge of the West, offering valuable revisions to concepts like transnationalism, the working class, popular culture, and the canon. This collection does not simply crisscross borders: it engages them, wrestles with them, redefines them, even defies them. Dyck and Reutter offer up a new literary atlas of the West and in doing so redraw the map of western American studies." - Susan Naramore Maher, Peter Kiewit Distinguished Professor of English, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Past President, Western Literature Association

"Wide-ranging in many ways, this exciting volume itself crosses borders to gather scholars from various disciplines and locations to explore the works of a selection of important, diverse writers . . .A most valuable volume!" - Emory Elliott, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Riverside

"This valuable collection occupies an important area of regionalist studies, with strong essays on ethnicity and class. The worldliness of the volume's contributors and the range of voices are noteworthy." - Guy Reynolds, Professor of English, University of Nebraska-Lincoln and General Editor of the Willa Cather Scholarly Edition

JEFFREY BEZOS BOOK FOR KIDS

Joint winner of the Australasian Drama Studies Association Rob Jordan Award 2010.

'With this book, Helena Grehan makes a dynamic contribution to a new generation of scholarship that is driven by a deep sense of ethical concern and an engagement with the major human issues of our times. Her focus on theatrical renditions of difficult and urgent themes is vivid and lucid, and creates a study that will be of wide interest in all disciplines of the humanities.'
- Jane Goodall, Professor with the Writing and Society Research Group, The University of Western Sydney, Australia, and author of Stage Presence: The Actor as Mesmerist

'What Grehan is advancing here is not only a theory of spectatorship but also a methodology of spectatorship...Each chapter is richly - but never exclusively - descriptive, always carefully theorising the spectator's experiential trajectory as keyed to the micro-level of performance (set elements, costume, gesture, scenic discourse) and the meta-level of theory. For readers who might have witnessed these performances, the discussion illuminates and amplifies one's memory in ways that initiate - or re-initiate - the kind of ethical response Grehan is arguing for; for those who have not, it offers a vivid account of both content and context, the latter including both the critic's and the culture's preoccupations, investments, and limitations. Performance, Ethics, and Spectatorship in a Global Age is a work of original, generous, and - above all - responsible theatre theory.' - Una Chaudhuri, Collegiate Professor and Professor of English and Drama at New York University, Performance Paradigm

Performance, Ethics and Spectatorship in a Global Age

'...this book is a first-rate account of the new phenomenon of international policing that will be of interest to foreign policy makers, police managers and personnel, and international relations and police scholars alike.' - British Journal of Criminology

'...the author's rich knowledge of detail in the most varied of fields is impressive...The excellent use of the literary sources, as well, should be mentioned for it is just as current and international as the subject matter itself...an indispensable resource for all participants in peace operations.' - Australian Journal of International Affairs

The New International Policing

'Drawing on his own workshops in Sri Lanka in 2000 and research in Rwandan prisons, Thompson builds a moving and often disturbing picture of how theatre can be used for political ends' - What's On Stage.com

'Performance Affects, focusing on the aesthetics and politics of performance in sites of war, disaster, and crisis, will be of immediate interest to academics writing and working in and around those settings and in the applied theatre field. The book provides a rich, complex, and theoretically aligned set of ideas and contributions to discourses of theatre performance in political contexts.' - Sheila Preston, New Theatre Quarterly

'The strength of the study stems from the sensitive, insightful and extremely self-reflexive observations from Thompson's work as a practitioner and participant in applied theatre projects in Sri Lanka and Rwanda... His study is theoretically eclectic, and yet refreshingly non-presumptuous... Thompson makes a consistent, sincere and timely argument.' - Sruti Bala, Theatre Research International

'This book is bold, admirable, moving, lucid and persuasive, and its argument for an affective turn in the practice and scholarship of applied theatre is already, fundamentally, changing them.' - Jen Harvie, Research in Drama Education

'Performance Affects is a timely, eloquent and urgent call to theatre makers and academics working in the field of applied theatre to interrogate the existing critical discourses and political aspirations of contemporary practices and to develop new practical and theoretical vocabularies to advance the field...Performance Affects offers an original and important contribution to applied theatre by challenging, critiquing and championing the aesthetic and political aspirations of work. This book will be an invaluable addition to the practical and theoretical development of the field.' - Caoimhe McAvinchey, Contemporary Theatre Review

Performance Affects

"'Mission' and 'values' are all too often things stuck on a wall or on small plaques or cards. In this book, leaders will learn why mission and values are important for organizational success and, more importantly, how to implement mission-driven leadership. Filled with examples and practical ideas, Management by Missions will help turn ideas and concepts into practical reality." -Jeffrey Pfeffer, Professor of Organizational Behavior, Stanford University and author of 'What Were They Thinking? Unconventional Wisdom About Management'

'Changing the culture of a large organization, though fun, is ultimately complicated and challenging. Resistance is just a natural human reaction to any kind of major change, especially when you are already No. 1 in the marketplace. Management by Missions gave us a solid framework for developing our people and truly transforming the culture of our company.' -Pedro V. Navarrete, Managing Director. SONY España, SA

Management by Missions

“One aspect of this book that I appreciated was the style of writing which made the content both accessible and relatable. ... Stiles explains all and is inclusive throughout. This broadens the appeal of her book and allows readers and researchers from non-social science fields to appreciate the intricacies of law, religion, community and life in Unguja, Zanzibar.” (Ann Black, Manchester Journal of Transnational Islamic Law & Practice, Vol. 16 (1), 2020)"An Islamic Court in Context contributes new case studies to support established theoretical claims regarding the situated process of Islamic legal reasoning and the importance of attending to gender roles and performance in Islamic family courts . . . Erin Stiles presents some useful points of analysis and observation of the situated meaning of judicial reasoning in an Islamic court, and this reader looks forward to more from Stiles in the future." - Islamic Africa

"Through richly detailed and beautifully narrated cases Stiles presents a deeply humanistic account of a contemporary Islamic legal system. Concentrating on Zanzibar, she demonstrates how women in particular navigate a religiously affiliated system, and in the process she brings an entire society to life. With her insightful interpretation of a legal environment that governs one-fifth of the planet and about which Westerners continue to posses far too simplistic a view she makes a signal contribution to the literature." - Lawrence Rosen, Cromwell Professor of Anthropology, Princeton University, USA, and author of Varieties of Muslim Experience

"Stiles provides one of the few in-depth looks at how a contemporary Islamic judge deals with divorce. She describes in vivid detail how women and men negotiate in a Zanzibar court, and the way an ordinary judge must draw on his study of the Qur'an, his knowledge of state law, and his keen sense of the complexities of social life to resolve often bitter disputes. This book is at once a major work in legal anthropology and a rich example of the very best in social studies of contemporary Islam." - John R. Bowen, Dunbar-Van Cleve Professor in Arts and Sciences, Washington University in St. Louis, USA
