The Politician's Creed

'... bristles with important insights into the spatial frameworks and material culture that conditioned the lives of early modern Europeans ... in a variety of ways, this volume adds to current knowledge of both material culture and early modern European history.' Sharon Strocchia, Emory University, USA, author of Nuns and Nunneries in Renaissance Florence 
'...intriguing, to say the least... offer[s] new perspectives on early modern social and cultural logics.' Sixteenth Century Journal 
'The thought-provoking case studies offered here represent a valuable contribution to the study of non-familial domestic environments, and provide models for future research while posing questions yet to be answered. The reader is aided in exploring the material presented by a bibliography and a good index. By studying the exchanges between objects, individuals, and institutions across highly permeable boundaries, the research in Domestic Institutional Interiors in Early Modern Europe focuses on the human experience within a range of circumstances not often studied. It challenges current notions concerning how individuals engaged with and modified their institutional environments, and it opens a door to further study.' Caa.Reviews 
'... this collection of essays offers a range of interdisciplinary topics, approaches, and methods that can engage scholars beyond the confines of early modern studies... Domestic Institutional Interiors of the Early Modern Period is a book that I strongly recommend to libraries serving graduate students and research faculty.' Southeastern College Art Conference (SECAC) Review

Domestic Institutional Interiors in Early Modern Europe

'...provides a wide-ranging and sophisticated analysis...It covers not only the key theoretical problematics but also a range of empirically rigorous case studies...And, unusually for this sort of study, it examines the significance of policy transfer for transition and developing countries as well as for developed ones...an indispensable resource for all those interested in the rapidly changing nature of public policy and how it is being transformed in a globalizing world.'  Philip G. Cerny, Rutgers University, USA  '...the book offers excellent summaries of policy transfer debates, and undoubtedly should be read by anyone wanting a fast introduction to the subject.'

'The contributors to this important volume significantly enrich our understanding of such ideas as zones of peace, the phenomenon of integration and the security community model of Karl Deutsch.’ Professor Harvey Starr, University of South Carolina, USA   ’The peace and security community among the Nordic countries has resulted from a unique historical process that cannot be captured by standard models of international relations. It requires a more complex political and cultural analysis...this volume integrates in a refreshing manner theoretical ideas and the detailed analyses of the Nordic contrasts and turning points’. Professor Raimo VÃ¤yrynen, Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, Finland   'Though the success story of Nordic Europe’s 20th-century peace and prosperity might tempt to shallow preaching, the collaborators in this volume have taken a rigorously analytical approach to their work...The result is a study that sees the phenomenon of Northern peacefulness in modulated, historically sensitive terms, a study that provides cautious lessons in the political creativity needed at all levels of society in order to sustain peace.' Dr Noel Parker, University of Copenhagen, Denmark  'The essays are curiously diverse in scope and ambition - which does not contradict the fact that The Nordic Peace is an informative and sometimes thought-provoking addition to the literature.' Journal of Peace Research

’This book is a very timely and important contribution to debates on policy integration and the environment. With its focus on a wide range of theoretical, methodological and applied issues from the perspective of selected EU policies, this book will be of particular interest to those working on European policy issues, European integration, environmental policy implementation and the multi-faceted complexity of today's national and international policy-making.’  Geoff Wilson, University of Plymouth, UK  ’This book provides a comprehensive and timely treatment of the theoretical and methodological aspects of policy integration, focusing on EU policies and using Mediterranean desertification as an illustrative example. It is a valuable reading for policy researchers and practitioners alike who grapple with contemporary complex and cross-cutting socio-environmental problems.’  Rudolf S. de Groot, Wageningen University, The Netherlands  ’This book provides a very interesting conceptual framework for addressing contemporary policy issues such as coordination, synergy, integration, concerted action, etc., in a policy context which increasingly recognizes the necessity to safeguard for cross-impacts and linkages across sectors.’  Harry Coccossis, University of Thessaly, Greece   'The work overall is highly informative and carefully edited. For a collection the writing style and language are remarkably consistent. Briassoulis and her co-authors should be commended for producing a high-quality collection of essays about the different policies at work in the EU. The work is of a consistently high standard of writing and every chapter is richly detailed and referenced.' European Spatial Research and Policy  '...enriches the discussions concerning global climate change...provides inspiring thoughts and proposals...' International Journal of Environment and Pollution

'...Abby should be congratulated in rendering accessible for new and experienced applicants the appropriate steps to follow in submitting plausible, innovative, and value for money proposals.  Resisting catch-all, simplistic prescriptions for success, the book highlights the essential elements of a successful research application drawing from the experience of many leading academic researchers in the UK. In my judgement this book will be invaluable to both experienced and new researchers. ' Professor Peter Nolan, Leeds University, UK.  'This accessible book demystifies gaining funding for your research projects.  New researchers should read it because it articulates the informal 'rules' behind the funding process.  ... Experienced researchers will find this book a useful read too, not least because it presents advice on how to lead programmes of research successfully...It takes you beyond getting a grant in the first place, to completing a successful research project, which in turn means that you're better placed to win future funding.' Professor Rosalind Edwards, London South Bank University, UK

Winning Research Funding

’The principal strength of this volume lies in the study of a huge array of subjects taken by its contributors to research the history of health, medicine and science, with a particular emphasis upon reform.’ Local Population Studies  ’... Pelling and Mandelbrote should be congratulated for putting together a coherent and at times provocative volume that provides a composite picture of the interaction of religion, politics, medicine and professional concerns in western Europe.  In doing so, they have provided a fitting tribute to Webster and his work.’ Medical History

'... helps transform its subject matter from a parochial into an international field.' The Art Newspaper  'The volume includes six excellent maps and plans, fourteen color plates, and more than fifty black-and-white illustrations or photographs, with sources for the illustrations in a separate list.  Each paper also includes copious footnotes, which can serve as useful bibliographies for the librarian.  A list of contributors provides the institutions with which they are associated.  There is a fifteen-page bibliography.  None of the above are significantly marred by the occasional typograhical error or blurry illustration of sites which are likely difficult or impossible to photograph.  The volume is well bound, sewn in signatures, printed in clear typeface and includes a colorful dust jacket.  This work is highly recommended for university libraries, college libraries with strong academic programs in art history, religion, history for African studies, and museum libraries with relevant collections.' Art Documentation  'The book is handsome, the maps and reproductions are excellent.' Journal of African History  'This beautifully produced book... makes fascinating reading and is a must for scholars interested in the history of Ethiopian art and international relations.' African Art  'The well-annotated volume is also satisfyingly illustrated...' Religion and the Arts  '... no one should underestimate the achievement of the editors in getting their book together.  Besides architecture, it covers icon and mural paintings, and the decorative arts.  The team of contributors, which includes Ethiopian scholars, is broadly based.  It is a courageous step into a fascinating area.' Ecclesiastical History

'Absorbing, varied, meticulous, convincing - these essays will constitute the monument of Barry scholarship for a long time to come.' Michael Charlesworth, University of Texas at Austin, USA  ’The book will be an indispensable resource for scholars of eighteenth-century British painting, patronage, aesthetics, and political history.’ University College Cork News  ’This specialist book makes a welcome addition to our understanding of this controversial figure.’ The Art Newspaper  'There can be no doubt that this volume is a hugely valuable addition to Barry studies and to the literature of later eighteenth-century British art in general, and Ashgate should be congratulated on publishing a book as potentially uncommercial as Barry’s art proved in his lifetime.' The Burlington Magazine  'This edited volume [...] offers much needed scholarship on an overlooked artist, given the quality of his ambitious oeuvre... The book is undoubtedly an erudite and highly valuable authoritative reference book for students and scholars who want to look into Barry’s achievements.' Miranda  '[The volume’s] scholarship is impressive, its writing stimulating, and its approaches engaging. Blakeans will benefit from these lively discussions of another renegade artist.'
