Una oración por la lluvia : historias de Afganistán

'Since it was first published in 2003, Ali Ansari’s book has established itself as one of the very few really first-class histories of modern Iran. It is exceedingly well-informed, judicious in its judgements, and thoroughly up to date in its use of the essential source-material and previous scholarship. It is also remarkably accessible: a pleasure to read, and ideal for both students and the wider readership of those who wish to understand Iran. The new chapters of this edition, dealing with and analysing the developments of the period between 1797 and the early 20th century, add greatly to the book’s value and interest.'

"The Turkish accession process to the EU is very much in doubt because of European concerns about Turkish identity and the volatility of the Turkish political system. Jung and Raudvere s book is one of the most serious attempts at understanding the multi-faceted conundrum that Turkey s accession process represents. The authors of this edited book tackle the issue from many different angles and approaches and in the process produce a readable, illuminating and critical volume. It is for everyone who wants to better comprehend these issues that are likely to remain unresolved for a while." - Henri Barkey, Bernard L. and Bertha F. Cohen Professor, Chair of the department of International Relations, Lehigh University

"This is an important collection of essays which highlight the complex role of religion and culture in EU-Turkey relations. I would recommend it to scholars and students who are interested not only in EU-Turkey relations but also in broader debates concerning European identity and the future course of the Europeanization project." - Ziya Onis, Department of International Relations, Koc University, Istanbul, Turkey

It provides an admirable overview of the very heterogeneous second generation in the USA, and will certainly stimulate further research in the field.” • German Historical Institute London Bulletin

	“Especially the systematic approach turns the volume into an impressive stock-taking of a research area that should be examine further with innovative methods and original questions.” • H-Soz-Kult

	“This book represents a deeply personal, intellectually challenging, and historically important undertaking. I cannot recommend highly enough a book that packs so much learning and passion, tragedy and promise, between two covers.” • James Retallack, Professor of History, University of Toronto; Killam Research Fellow 2015-17

	“This volume brings together memoirs from key second-generation historians, reminiscences from colleagues and students, and a detailed reference section containing critical biographical and professional information. It is a valuable resource.” • Marion Deshmukh, George Mason University

"Mike Roth refers in his book to the dispersed pieces of information that everyone gains via internet in everyday life and completes them with professional knowledge on computer modeling, providing an introduction to the techniques of computer simulations, showing their usefulness as well as their limits. His lively narrative style makes his book accessible for everyone interested in science." — Prof Lucyna Firlej, Laboratoire Charles Coulomb, Montpellier, France
"a playful and exciting introduction to a complex subject of continuous and discrete-event modeling and simulation. With a multitude of real-word examples and hands-on experiences, the book is very accessible to students." —Prof. Masha Sosonkina, Old Dominion University

"Everywhere we turn, we hear the word 'sustainability’. But what are companies actually doing? CB Bhattacharya’s honest and bracing answer is simple: Not enough. But in this smart, actionable book, he shows how companies can change their ways. By making sustainability central to your purpose, he says, you can improve the health of communities and the planet — and build a better, more profitable business.Small Actions, Big Differencebelongs on every leader’s bookshelf." 
Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of WHEN and DRIVE 
"When the world finally makes the turn to sustainable development, it will have been pioneers such as Professor CB Bhattacharya who will have made the difference. Professor Bhattacharya has long understood that sustainable development – combining economic progress with social inclusion and environmental sustainability – is not a gimmick or a pleasantry, but a vital need for the planet and therefore for each of us. He continues his great efforts in this new and important book, a very wise and clearly written guidebook to sustainability for business leaders."
Jeffrey Sachs, New York Times Bestselling Author, University Professor, Columbia University 
"CB Bhattacharya’s book Small Actions, Big Difference is a powerful rallying cry for business to take full ownership of delivering sustainable and equitable growth. As this book argues, business must re-double its efforts through new thinking and a values-based approach that puts people and the planet first."
Paul Polman, CEO Unilever, 2009-2018 
"Small Actions, Big Difference is an important and timely book for businesses who are beyond the "why" and "what" phase of sustainability and firmly on to the "how". It is an important and practical contribution for those looking to drive sustainability through their organization. Based on the authors academic excellence and extensive work with practitioners over decades, it is backed up with relevant case studies and research on what works and what doesn’t to drive sustainability impact AND business success. In an era, where business has never been under more pressure or more needed to lead on sustainability, it is a welcome contribution and recommended read for both generalist and specialist alike."
Peter Lacy, Senior Managing Director, Accenture Strategy 

"The title and the cover picture of this book are a perfect synthesis of the book itself. Sustainability is often the sum of many apparently obvious thoughts and simple actions, resulting in apowerful and large positive impact on mankind. A fascinating discovery for the reader and a powerful call to action." 
Francesco Starace, CEO, Enel 
"There’s lots said about the ‘why’ of sustainable business much less about the ‘how’ and that’s what CB does here so effectively and succinctly, distil the theory into tough, practical action that’s needed to make sustainable change stick!"
Mike Barry, Chief Sustainability Officer, Marks and Spencer 
"In Small Actions, Big Difference, Professor Bhattacharya cogently brings into focus the inherent conflict between short-term goals and long-term deliberate corporate action around Sustainability. He challenges the somewhat myopic view of organizational success, compelling readers to re-think the very Purpose of business itself. Well researched and honest, CB's articulation is persuasive and relatable. He moves away from the usual finger-pointing and takes the bold stance of linking Profits to Sustainability. He thus elevates Sustainability to the top of the agenda; making it everybody’s day job, especially that of the Leadership."
Vipin Sondhi, CEO, JCB India 
"This book is an urgent, clear-eyed and eminently implementable clarion call to companies the world over to make a palpable and meaningful contribution to the battle against the environmental and social ills that threaten to destroy our planet and its inhabitants. Bhattacharya’s research into the barriers companies face in being sustainable, rather than simply saying or wishing they are, is incisive both in breadth and depth. The framework Bhattacharya builds based on his insights to get every employee to take ownership of sustainability is sensible, practical and ultimately essential if companies are to truly transform themselves into stewards of the environment and society. Essential reading for anyone in the business world who wants to go beyond good sustainability intentions to actually making a real difference."
Joel Makower, Chairman and Executive Editor, Greenbiz Group Inc. 

"This book does 　three key things ... a) creates a good conceptual frame around the issue b) develops a model for transformation and c) provides countless examples that help inform and motivate. For companies like DBS, who are relatively new on this journey, all of these are invaluable.　One of my best reads this year!"
Piyush Gupta, CEO, DBS Bank
