"Kielsgard (City Univ. of Hong Kong) offers a compelling discussion of the role politics plays in the possibility of preventing genocide...The beginning traces the evolution of the law on genocide and the politics of its development. The second section of the book essentially discusses several theories of genocide highlighting the elements that lead to genocide. When these elements are identified, Kielsgard argues, prevention could be possible if the political will exists. The next section looks at how genocide denial affects the ability to prevent genocide because denial permits future crimes against marginalized groups. The final part of the book discusses transitional justice responses following genocide."W. R. Pruitt, Virginia Wesleyan College, CHOICE

Responding to Modern Genocide

“It succeeds in combining analytical rigour and extensive use of citations with a writing style that is both highly readable and engaging, giving the reader a unique peek into the personalities, convictions and conflicts of the key figures that gave DG8 its shape. … As a result, this book is essential reading for a wide and varied audience, in both the European studies and international development communities.” (Floor Keuleers, Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 54 (2), 2016)

In this engaging work, Peter Gardella revives the concept of civil religion and gives it new life through a detailed tour of its specifics. Drawing on a variety of materials-documents, music, monuments, places, symbols-he takes materials with which we are all familiar and puts them in a theoretical context that is at once sophisticated and accessible.

"In this book, internationally respected scientists and clinicians describe in step-by-step detail their most useful conventional and cutting-edge techniques for the study of malaria." - Clinical Laboratory International

"This is an outstanding collection of protocols written by over eighty experts in the field.  The geographical spread of these contributors is impressive, encompassing writers from thirteen countries on six continents.  There is good stylistic continuity throughout the book, despite the diversity of the authors...there is admirable cross-referencing between chapters."        -Molecular Biotechnology

"The beauty of this book rests not only in its cutting-edge scholarship, but also in its rare honesty about the salience of one s identity as researcher vis-à-vis "subjects"; about the shifting constructions of Blackness relative to research locale; and, about ever-present power dynamics, albeit unspoken, in interviews in field research. Its critique of conventional research methodology, which assumes researchers of Africa and the African Diaspora are white, is long overdue and liberating for students and scholars. A must-read, it puts race, self-reflection, and researcher humility at the center of knowledge production." - Lisa Aubrey, Associate Professor, Department of African and African American Studies, Arizona State University"I strongly recommend this book to readers interested in field research, especially in its complex personal and political dynamics in African and African diasporic situations. The contributors offer compelling insights into the challenges and vulnerabilities of fieldwork, whether it is undertaken as ethnography, oral history, or the qualitative pursuit of other social sciences. This book clearly illuminates field work as a mode of investigation and knowledge co-production that is socially negotiated, fraught with ethical challenges, and predicated on the effective navigation of anxieties and ambiguities that may be read or, in some cases, misread, with potentially significant outcomes for nuancing and deepening our understanding of past and present social realities." - Faye V. Harrison, author of Outsider Within: Reworking Anthropology in the Global Age"Following in the tradition of Zora Neale Hurston and Maya Angelou, this collection explores the ways encounters between researchers and the communities they visit continually reshape and reinterpret African diaspora identities. A compelling and refreshingly frank look at issues in African diaspora fieldwork - essential in the face of all the silences in the historical record - that will be of interest to ethnographers, anthropologists, oral historians, and cultural travelers everywhere." - Kim D. Butler, Associate Professor of History, Department of Africana Studies, Rutgers University

“This book attempts to showcase the real time application of ecological economics. … a good effort in bringing out the relevant topics in ecological economics. The editors have managed to keep the curiosity of the reader awake until the last chapter of the book. … a must asset for the university libraries.” (S. Suresh Ramanan, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 31 (3), May, 2018)

"Ben-Eliezer (sociology, Univ. of Haifa, Israel) adds to an understanding of the transition of Israel from a society and polity led by secular, socialist, and tolerant nationalists of European descent to a nation inexorably dominated by Israelis from the wider diaspora who embrace aggressive ethnonationalism that demonizes and isolates Palestinians as enemy Arabs . . . Recommended." - CHOICE

"Uri Ben-Eliezer has written a head-turning account of a major shift in Israel's military policy. He offers a fascinating account of how a changing global culture after the Cold War gave rise to a new kind of nationalism in Israel - with its own brand of military solutions for dealing with the Palestinian issue. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Israel, the Middle East, or the new ways that wars are conceived of and fought in the twenty-first century." - Joel S. Migdal, Robert F. Philip Professor of International Studies, University of Washington and author of Permanent Player: The United States and Middle East Regional Dynamics

"In this eye-opening and hard-hitting analysis, Uri Ben-Eliezer demonstrates how rising settler militancy and militarism within Israel trounced the earnest but feeble civil society drive behind the Oslo Accord and rendered the Second Intifada all but inevitable. More broadly, his study highlights the symbolic aspects and diversionary uses of war and rethinks the nature of contemporary asymmetrical warfare." - Gershon Shafir, co-editor of Struggle and Survival in Palestine/Israel

'Dr. Van Der Merwe's book is an excellent and comprehensive discussion of the nature and drivers of market liquidity risk and its impact on financial asset prices. The book seamlessly integrates theory and references to the academic literature with reviews of empirical evidence and practical applications. Market practitioners should find this book invaluable both as an introduction to the topic and an accessible current review of academic research in this area.' Christopher L. Culp, PhD, Johns Hopkins Institute of Applied Economics and Institut für Finanzmanagement, Universität Bern

'Andria van der Merwe has produced a superb analysis of liquidity. Not only does she explain why 'liquidity' is a much more profound concept than most of us might initially think, but also how our institutions create (and inhibit) it. Bottom line: liquidity is valuable and, as with all items of value, it is costly to obtain.' Jonathan I. Arnold, PhD, Formerly Chief Economist, Office of the New York Attorney General

"The central argument of this book is that local government and politics matter if sustainable development is going to take place. The cases and analysis support that argument. It makes an important contribution that should be widely read." - Gerry Stoker, University of Canberra, Australia, and University of Southampton, UK

"This publication on developmental local governance comes at a critical time when the international community, including the Caribbean, is about to adopt the post-2015 development agenda for 2015-30. There is a strong realisation that this new agenda has to be driven from the bottom-up, with a focus on localising the proposed sustainable development goals (SDGs). Developmental local governance, and within this local government, will have a key role in helping to set, implement and monitor development goals and targets, as was highlighted at recent high level meetings of the Commonwealth Local Government Forum. This book therefore makes a key contribution to the ongoing policy debate and will be extremely valuable to everyone, especially senior policy makers and academics, concerned with issues of global development and governance." - Carl Wright, Commonwealth Local Government Forum, UK

From the book reviews: “This textbook gives a comprehensive overview of the method of metric distances and its applications in probability theory. … The text is mainly self-contained and should be accessible for readers with basic knowledge in probability theory. The exposition is well structured and covers an impressive range of topics around the central theme of probability metrics.” (Hilmar Mai, zbMATH, Vol. 1280, 2014)“The reviewed book is divided into five parts. … The target audience is graduate students in the areas of functional analysis, geometry, mathematical programming, probability, statistics, stochastic analytics, and measure theory. The book can also be used for students in probability and statistics. The theory of probability metrics presented here can be applied to engineering, physics, chemistry, information theory, economics, and finance. Specialists from the aforementioned areas might find the book useful.” (Adriana Horníková, Technometrics, Vol. 55 (4), November, 2013)

’Bauman is important for what he says. He’s also important for how he says it. His is a sociology which makes us think and act for ourselves. This new collection edited by Mark Davis uncovers Bauman’s method. The book adds to our knowledge of Bauman and, indeed, to reflection on the sociological enterprise itself. This collection matters.’ Keith Tester, University of Hull, UK

"Global governance is increasingly influenced by emerging economies, something which the status quo powers must acknowledge and accommodate. Nowhere is this better exemplified than in the discussions within the WTO, not least in the Doha round of talks. This important book provides a much-needed comparative analysis of the roles of two key developing countries India and South Africa in these often contentious deliberations. The author's detailed analysis gives an excellent overview and analytical appraisal of how New Delhi and Pretoria adopted various positions during the Doha process and why. As the BRICS become ever more important in global affairs, Charalampos Efstathopoulos' book is a major contribution in the current debates about the role of Southern powers in global governance and how this is likely to play out in the future." - Ian Taylor, University of St. Andrews, UK &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

“Not every clinician, including nurse practitioners (NPs), practices in a site with immediate access to a cardiologist. A new book recently released should help mitigate that problem by providing the latest information in CV diagnosis and treatment in an easily accessible format. … This book represents easy access to high quality current information. … Students and faculty are especially going to find this book a treasure trove of reliable information.” (Marilyn Edmunds, The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, Vol. 13 (3), March, 2017)
