'This invaluable and important book should increase Western understanding of Islam considerably, and enable readers to study a modern Muslim theologian at first hand.' Keith Ward, University of Oxford, UK  'Birinci and Markham have provided an invaluable service in this collection of primary texts and a commentary on Said Nursi, one of the greatest Muslim theologians of the modern period. This book will serve interfaith scholarship as well as those studying Islam. Most importantly, this book details a face of Islam that fails to hit the headlines: non-violent and socially-engaged.' Gavin D'Costa, University of Bristol, UK  ' ... a fascinating rendition of the life and thought of this important 20th century Muslim theologian. They present Nursi's perspectives on God and scripture, spirituality and pluralism, with sensitivity, appreciation and a keen persuasion of the importance of his original contributions to Islamic perceptions of the world of nature and the realm of the divine.'  Jane Smith, Harvard Divinity School, USA  'Readers will be able to acquaint themselves directly with Nursi’s mode of argumentation, which depends heavily on parables and imagined conversations between a believer and a sceptic.' Journal of Shi’a Islamic Studies

"What is especially productive in Biopolitics of Lifestyle is the clever disavowal of worn debates about the ethicality of, or personal responsibility for, fatness. Instead, Mayes reveals what he calls an “enabling network,” or intersections of knowledge, power, and subjectivity, which renders people who are supposedly harmful to society visible and governable. The enabling network makes “obesity” a major social, political, and economic problem, locates responsibility for harms caused by fatness in individuals, and simultaneously hides structural forces that contribute to corpulence... those without particular interest in fat studies but who employ the work of Foucault will be keen to see the innovative examinations of biopolitics in this book. In attracting diverse readers of Foucault, I hope the book will push them to question their own conscious or subconscious participation in weightism."

’... (an) excellent biography ...a fascinating read that is anything but dull.’ The Delian  ’Beale’s comprehensive and thoroughly researched biography sheds new light on Hallé and the musical life of nineteenth-century Manchester. With his painstaking research, he presents the most complete picture of Hallé and a richer understanding of his failures, his successes, and the problems he faced. Even more, this study fills a large gap in the growing research on the evolution of the modern orchestra and concert life in Great Britain and beyond.’ NABMSA Newsletter  ’Beale’s contribution to our understanding of not just Hallé’s career but also the working conditions of his ’band’ is strong in its careful analysis of data. This is a useful book which adds to our understanding of Hallé’s dual-marketplace career and enduring legacy.’ Journal of the Society for Musicology in Ireland

'The chapters of this book, a major tribute to the work of Candi Peterson, build on her groundbreaking work with deaf children in two important ways. They chart the acquisition of mental state understanding by several groups of atypically developing children – deaf children, to be sure, but also children with special language impairment and children with autism. The chapters also examine the impact of various parameters of socialization on the pattern of acquisition, ranging from more distal environmental factors such as cultural beliefs, SES, family size and type of schooling to more proximal factors such as conversational input and moment-to-moment interchanges within the child’s home. For readers who have moved beyond the idea of an innate theory-of-mind module, this volume provides a feast of engaging material.' - Paul L. Harris, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Education, Harvard University, USA
"This timely and up-to-date volume pulls together major lines of recent research showing that there is not a universal child developing a theory of mind in isolation, stripped of family, peers, and culture.Rather, development always is within particular contexts, and different child characteristics in interaction with context can lead to different developmental pathways. This major contribution is enriched by the perspectives of an international set of major researchers, from eight countries. The book is an excellent resource for researchers, practitioners, and students."- Patricia H. Miller, San Francisco State University, USA
"This edited text provides a state of the art review on theory of mind development and identifies some of the most promising theories in the field. In recognition of the influential work of Candida Peterson, this dazzling collection is jam-packed with the latest research and debates on the crucial role of everyday context on theory of mind development in both typical and atypical children. Each of the authors has contributed an original essay for the volume. Theory of Mind in Context is both timely and important and is a must-read for any serious student of cognitive development." - Diane Poulin Dubois, Professor of Psychology, Concordia University, Montréal, Canada

"...provides the historical prospective of the science back to the beginning of hydrogeology. …Descriptions include numerous nations in Europe, most notably UK, France and Germany…science historians may also enjoy the wide range of stories of the evolution of hydrogeology as it developed in a country or region. For those who are interested in the history of hydrogeology based on specific countries, this book provides the answers and would be useful for those going overseas for a project to one of the countries featured in the book."—The Professional Geologist, Oct.Nov.Dec 2014
"Most striking is how much the development of hydrological studies in each country is influenced by that country's overall culture and politices, as well as geographic and geologic factors unique to each region. (...) This book gives a good sampling of these country-specific journeys. (...) Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals."—Choice, June 2013, Vol. 50 No. 10"History of Hydrogeology collects the essays from a variety of learned experts in the scientific field of hydrogeology, with particular emphasis on the history and evolution of the discipline. A handful of black-and-white photographs and diagrams illustrate such insightful writings as "Island hydrogeology: Highlights from early experience in the West Indies and Bermuda", "250 years of Russian hydrogeology (1730-1980)", "The progress of hydrogeology in Britain: 1600 to 2000", as well as essays on the history of hydrogeology in Australia, China, the Czech Republic, France, Central Europe & Germany, Hungary, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the U.S. Each essay is complemented with references. History of Hydrogeology is at times technical, clearly intended for experts and professionals in the field; its wealth of information makes it an ideal choice for college and graduate school libraries, as well as geology reference shelves.—Midwest Book Review
