‘a comprehensive account of the key aspects of medical leadership … readable and accessible. I can thoroughly recommend it for junior and senior doctors, non-clinical and clinical managers and those taking on formal leadership roles.’ Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, NHS England Medical Director, from the Foreword to the first edition

The Will of a Wildflower

From the reviews of the second edition:"This is an excellent introductory book on random variables, with a wealth of examples and exercises. … The material is very well organized … . The text is remarkably well written, mathematically and aesthetically; layout and fonts make it a pleasant reading, and the examples are often enlightening. I think it will be a valuable support for students and instructors and it should definitely find a place in every good library." (Fabio Mainardi, The Mathematical Association of America, October, 2009)“…A worthwhile addition to the textbook pool, one that will guide the student safely through to a point of competence and ability to embark on a more advanced study…” (International Statistical Review, 2010, 78, 1, 134-159)“The book addresses a unique niche mathematically inclined students previously exposed to an introductory course in probability … . The writing style is lucid and easy to follow. … book is clearly directed toward mathematicians and the highly mathematically inclined scientist or engineer who might be induced to study the mathematics of probability or mathematical statistics. For those who find the classical mathematical pedagogy motivating or those requiring a comprehensive readable reference work on the mathematics of probability theory the book can be highly recommended.” (Thomas D. Sandry, Technometrics, Vol. 53 (1), February, 2011)“This book … is intended as an introductory graduate level textbook in probability for statistics majors. … This book provides an elaborate description and a collection of results in probability theory. … The level of this book is suitable for a graduate course. Overall all concepts are well discussed with full mathematical rigor. … has a good collection of most of the results related to probability theory, the price is very reasonable, and I will recommend this book to university mathematics and statistics libraries.” (Sounak Chakraborty, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 106 (495), September, 2011)

Recasting the Social in Citizenship

'Witzel has done it again: enlivening every-day management with the almost tangible presence of thinkers from the past; suddenly we know ourselves to be companions of managers, philosophers and problem-solvers of all times and places. His acute analysis shows why we intuitively recoil from some, or feel a bond with others; His care for what it is to be a human being trying to organise and get things done is the red thread that spans the centuries. Big thinking on a human scale at its best.' - Jonathan Gosling, Professor Emeritus, University of Exeter, UK
'This history illuminates. Witzel’s wonderfully-stuffed sourcebook shows business has always been about people and profit, unchanged in millennia. But old principles must suit new times. Business’s scale is now unprecedented. It is also increasingly separated from public purpose, its technologies and financialization problematic. The reader will learn a lot about the core challenge: harnessing peoples’ imagination and skill in the pursuit of profit.' - J.-C. Spender, Research Professor, Kozminski University, Poland

"The one book on Latin America that is essential reading this year. . . . Skillfully interlacing the big picture with evocative and sympathetic portraits, [Colburn's] book is an elegantly succinct, if depressing, synopsis of the region's condition as it enters a new century."---Kenneth Maxwell, Foreign Affairs

"Nicholas O’Shaughnessy has come up with an incisive and intriguing way of looking at the Third Reich through its fiendishly effective brand marketing. The methods of Joseph Goebbels’ sinister genius at PR is laid bare superbly, and this book is replete with fascinating and important lessons for the present day."
Professor Andrew Roberts, Author, The Storm of War

""Only first class business and that in a first class way " was a motto of David Ogilvy. But what if the product and clients were loathsome? Like a barrister's advocacy the power of brilliant marketing can serve a false and perverse master. Never has this been truer than in the case of the Third Reich. Nicholas O'Shaughnessy's extraordinary book shows how it set out to be a well-managed brand and previewed many of the techniques of modern marketing communications in a sedulously first class way." 
Miles Young, Non Executive Chairman, Ogilvy and Mather Worldwide

"This is an accomplished, rare, interdisciplinary text. It provides an historical overview of how one of the most heinous regimes in history used prototype marketing and propaganda to gain and retain power. It’s a must-read both for those who would wish to govern us and those who are governed alike." 
Professor Paul Baines, Cranfield University, UK 

"Professor O'Shaughnessy has found an innovative new way of examining the Third Reich, by looking closely at how it was sold and marketed."
Giles MacDonogh, Writer and Historian
"Nicholas O'Shaughnessy's elegant and detailed historical scholarship has previously drawn our attention to unsettling traces of brand marketing strategy behind the calamitous rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. In Marketing the Third Reich he emboldens his thesis to show that the Nazis were ineluctably masters of marketing. He challenges conventional wisdom in both political history and in marketing scholarship by arguing that both are swayed by the nebulous yet compelling techniques of mass persuasion. In our propagandistic era of tumultuous political populism, this penetrating work is alarmingly resonant."

'Professor Ning Zhu’s new book is a must read for those who want to understand the behaviors behind Chinese investment and its decision making. Continued development and understanding of these factors behind investments is essential for all readers whether the causal investor or the investment professional. I find this book well-written, make interesting points and highly relevant.'—David Yu, CFA, Adjunct Professor of Finance, New York University Shanghai and Managing Director & Chief Investment Officer, Inception Aviation
'Professor Zhu provides a compelling and easy to read analysis on the dangers of investing that many other investment books fail to appreciate. His numerous historical examples and other research provides a useful perspective and antidote to common fallacies in investor thinking. The timeliness of the topic makes it a must read for Chinese investors in particular who are now engaged in financial market activities more than any time in its history. This book is definitely a worthwhile addition to any syllabus covering investment topics.' —Ann Lee, Adjunct Professor of Economics and Finance, New York University
'One of the things that sets this book apart is that it takes many different perspectives. While much has been written about the failures of individual decision-making, the implications of behavioral finance extend to the corporate sector and to the regulatory and government sectors as well. Professor Zhu shows us how decision-making in all of these arenas is actually influenced by a common set of psychological tendencies that, in turn, tie back into fundamental human nature. The book demonstrates not only why behavioral finance is important, but it also shows how our personal analytical limitations can be overcome, once we recognize them.' — William N. Goetzmann, Edwin J. Beinecke Professor of Finance and Management Studies; Director of the International Center of Finance, Yale School of Management, Yale University

'An energetic and creative intellectual project, labour geography has repeatedly broken new ground.  This lively collection features many of the project’s new voices, pushing the boundaries again, and critically revisiting basic questions of agency, power and politics in sites from North to South.' Jamie Peck, University of British Columbia, Canada  'The economy is global, and any understanding of labour and trade unionism today must be transnational: this was obvious even before 2008-9 and the crisis of world capitalism. But labour is not only a victim of neoliberal globalisation: organised workers have the capacity to fight back. This important new work represents a significant advance in the theory of global labour; perhaps more importantly, it offers essential insights for union representatives and activists worldwide.' Richard Hyman, London School of Economics, UK  ’This is a specialist academic text. It will be useful to graduate students and labour studies scholars whose research touches on the geographical dimensions of current debates in the field, including the scale of union organizing and the spatial dilemmas of transnational campaigns and international solidarity.’  Labor Studies Journal  '... the book is undoubtedly a positive addition to the field of labour geography. The geographically diverse range of case studies which include: Canada, China, England, Namibia, Nigeria, the Philippines and Vietnam, add an invaluable integrity to the theoretical discussions. The book is accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of labour geography, and for those who are less familiar, the first two chapters provide an effective introduction.'

"Finally, an effective book on fighting the marginalization of performance in architecture. The author makes her arguments through tales from the trenches, humor, and erudite comments, and then goes on to explain how to achieve high performing buildings." - Norbert Lechner, Professor Emeritus & Architect, Auburn University, USA
"Integrating Building Performance with Design gives us compelling building stories about process, performance, and perceptions through the lenses of teaching and practice. Grant dissects, observes, and matches architectural expression with narratives of numerous case studies about the functioning of buildings and their services throughout the U.S. and Europe." - Alison G. Kwok, Professor, Department of Architecture, University of Oregon, USA
"As a practicing architect, I’m relieved to see an architecture educator helping prepare students for the profession by addressing and integrating building performance early in the design process in order to help with the translation of design concepts into functioning built structures. Architectural graduates who arrive to practice with only their sometimes too precious design concepts are of little practical use to the profession and in fact are delayed in their own development into practicing architects. Professor Grant’s book, amply illustrated and written in an engaging, self-deprecating tone, provides such guidance to students in the evolution of their designs into buildings which is what our profession is all about." - Peter Ozolins, PhD RA LEED AP, Peter Ozolins Architect, P.C. Architecture & International Development, USA
"From the title I guessed that this book would be some sort of manual, but what I discovered was a compelling narrative with great illustrations. It offers rationale, methods, stories, and encouragement for teaching and learning integrated architectural design that does not ignore issues of performance. It's a must have selection for teachers, students, and practitioners alike." - Bruce Haglund, Professor of Architecture, University of Idaho, USA

‘Ray’s practical and easy to use book is full of helpful illustrations, hints, advice and a fully customizable example Quality Management System. This guide saves the small business owner valuable time and money. Excellent!’ - D.M. Belair, CAO, Kawartha Controls
‘There are many ISO 9001:2015 books out there but this book by Ray is the one for quick, simple and to the point explanations that a non ISO specialist can understand and implement. Even better is the fact that this book is generic and there are forms and templates that you can download to enable you to create the entire ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System yourself, no matter what business you’re in. This book is invaluable in helping you understand and create all aspects of the ISO 9001 QMS. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this book for any business or person wanting to take up the challenge to understand and create their own ISO 9001:2015 QMS.’ - Szilvia Parkinson, Plantastic Rail UK Ltd.
