&ldquo;Intensely imagistic, artfully controlled prose . . . behind the building tension of Treadwell&rsquo;s path to oblivion, a stunning landscape looms.&rdquo;&mdash;Newsday&ldquo;A fair and exacting account of the events that led up to the tragedy, and, in doing so, shows readers the different sides of a complex and controversial man&hellip; It would be easy enough to dismiss Treadwell as a well-meaning but foolish person whose luck simply ran out.&#160;Jans&#160;gives his audience much to consider and allows them to decide.&rdquo;&mdash;Peggy Bercher, School Library Journal &#160; &ldquo;Masterfully addresses Treadwell's life and death&hellip; Although The&#160;Grizzly Maze&#160;is not the first book on the subject to be published, it's by far the best.&rdquo;&mdash;Paul Constant, The Stranger &#160; &ldquo;A fast-paced, thoughtful and evenhanded account of the life and death of self-appointed bear guardian Timothy Treadwell, who, along with a girlfriend, was killed and eaten by grizzlies in Alaska's Katmai National Park in 2003.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly

“This is a small book with a wide scope and great intensity. … this book shows how phenomena such as convergence zones can be analysed mathematically. … In summary, this book is for those wishing to use mathematics to gain insight into the underlying physics behind underwater acoustics.” (Adrian Brown, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 14 (1), 2009)

'This work is timeless and timely. It is timely because it helps shed light on our understanding of contemporary wars beyond the just war paradigm; it is timeless because the critique is well crafted and substantive [enough] to endure the test of time. The author manages to demolish the just war paradigm brick by brick all the way down to its very foundation...she exposes its emptiness for all to see and pushes students of war to seek new and better understandings of why we go to war and how we should conduct wars in the 21st century.' Ajume H. Wingo, Director, Center for Values and Social Policy, and Associate Professor, University of Colorado at Boulder

"Laurie Calhoun provides a passionate, provocative, challenging and inspiring critique of the war ideology. She uncovers the rhetoric behind the justification for the use of violence, and shows how powerful and pervasive is the machine designed to criminalize opponents. It is well known that these methods of propaganda have been widely used by totalitarian regimes, but this book confirms that liberal democracies are equally using them and that the populace is unaware and manipulated. To unmask this ideological apparatus is a fundamental precondition to sustain the hope of making war obsolete as a method to sort out controversies." - Daniele Archibugi, Italian National Research Council, Rome and Birkbeck College, University of London,

"Oscar Wilde's Society Plays is brilliant in its richness of points of view on why this playwright's comedies of manners are so funny and so serious at the same time. Bennett has assembled discussions by scholars well-known and new who boldly, convincingly, and entertainingly mine Wilde's texts and contexts, producing a book that is a feast of wit and wisdom in its own right." - Robert Combs, Professor, English, George Washington University, USA &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

“Aside from its particular focus on performances and rhetoric–which may interest those already familiar with the self-immolations–Tibet on Fire also serves as a general introduction to the Tibetan self-immolation phenomenon, and provides comprehensive, introductory-level background on Tiber-China history, Tibetan Buddhism, and international politics vis-à-vis the Tibet-China conflict. Tibet on Fire may thus also be of interest to those seeking a general introduction to the self-immolations themselves as well as the Tibet-China conflict in general.” (Benjamin Wood, Journal of Global Buddhism, Vol. 17, 2016)

"Here comes the boom! That's what happens when Bruce Baum brings political theory to popular culture. He deftly analyzes the un-utterable subtext of today's cinema, TV and more, to highlight how they participate in the death of the social, the erasure of structural causes of our current inequitable society and misguided valorization of individual ability and effort as the prime forces why class, race and gender disparities exist. Going to the movies has never been so politically edifying! The Post-Liberal Imagination: Political Scenes from the American Cultural Landscape is an important work of political scholarship." - Sanford Schram, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, Hunter College, CUNY, USA
