The Adventure of the Refused Knighthood

‘Logic is the money of the mind’, wrote Karl Marx in 1844. In 2018, in a world of humans with minds transformed by the global impact of information technologies, logic becomes distorted: Will money as we know it disappear? Society After Money uses transdisciplinary approaches to understand burning questions of today’s society: How will the digital revolution change money forms? Is money indeed a necessary ingredient of social dynamics? What is the essence of money? In this thought provoking book, a broad variety of ideas has been collected. It should be read by everybody interested in thinking about money in a fresh and unconventional way.

Society After Money

Foregrounding the performing of designing as an ongoing experimental lived practice that is at once personal, social and institutional, this astonishingly prescient book offers fresh insights into how design expertise can be mobilized to address contemporary challenges. This re-issue should inspire a new generation of designers to think deeply and critically about designing, what makes it possible or constrains it, and its positive and negative unfolding consequences.

"An important book that fills an enormous void in the knowledge base on leadership of China’s schools. It will also provoke re-examinations of some deeply-held, taken-for-granted assumptions about good leadership practice in Western schools." – Clive Dimmock, Chair in Professional Learning and Leadership, University of Glasgow

"Professor Allan Walker is undoubtedly a world leading scholar on cross-cultural comparative educational leadership and leadership across Chinese societies.The book is the first of its kind to present more nuanced, accurate and dynamic illustrations of Chinese school leadership, and unravel the complexities that characterize the scholarship, context and practices of school leaders in China. The book captures the essential challenges facing school leaders in contemporary China, and expands research- and practice-informed knowledge about school leadership in non-western contexts." - Ting Wang, Professor in Education, University of Canberra

"This book is about ethics in action. Early career and experienced researchers reflect on their ethical challenges and comment on their ethical decision-making in real, in-the-moment research activity. This clever interweaving of reflection and commentary makes for an immensely readable, instructive, and accessible book, one to be consulted by all researchers, especially graduate research students, grappling with a research design involving human participants." 
-Gary Barkhuizen, Professor of Applied Language Studies and Linguistics, University of Auckland, New Zealand
"As the contexts of language education inquiry broaden to include a wide range of life experiences, social practices and relationships, its ethical demands grow in complexity and urgency. This book offers a fascinating insight into the many of such demands against the backdrop of the chapter authors’ practical decision making in their own inquiry. The book’s case-study approach has generated textured portraits of ethical concerns in context. Its conversational approach highlights intricate dynamics between local dilemmas and global principles of research ethics. This is an invaluable guide for any researcher striving to develop their ethical consciousness."
-Maggie Kubanyiova, Chair in Language Education, Director of CLER Centre for Language Education Research, United Kingdom
"With an increase worldwide in the number of graduate students pursuing research in second language education in different locations with different human subjects, this book is a timely reminder of the important aspect of ethics when conducting such research. Roger Barnard and Yi Wang have put together a fine collection of chapters that highlights such thorny ethics related issues as attempting to apply ethical regulations while trying to adjust the research design to meet local circumstances without compromising the quality of the data collected that most graduate students must grapple with in their programmes. Scholars from within and some from beyond the field of applied linguistics not only comment on these graduate students ethical challenges, but also contribute their views of the ethics of conducting research in their fields to make this a well-rounded collection that provides a greater academic understanding of the ethical issues when conducting second language education research."
-Thomas S.C. Farrell, Professor of Applied Linguistics, Brock University, Canada

"This balanced and critical biography of a Marathi-Christian activist, preacher, thinker, and writer makes a splendid contribution to our understanding of Christianity in India. By an accomplished historical anthropologist, its Indo-centric perspectives are fresh, fascinating, and altogether compelling. The result is a remarkable display of cultural hybridity." 

Robert Eric Frykenberg, Professor Emeritus of History & South Asian Studies, University of Wisconsin – Madison, USA

　
"…a persuasive study of Baba Padmanji, a remarkable Maharashtrian convert to Christianity in the era of high colonialism. Dandekar brilliantly showcases Padmanji’s legacy as an educationalist, reformer, novelist, feminist and modern Indian… [his] vernacularization of Protestantism… and quest for Christian faith…is a befitting critique of Western scholarship on the Enlightenment."

Padma Anagol, Reader in Modern Indian History and Director, Centre for Asian Studies, Cardiff Wales, UK.

　
"Dandekar continues her astute and timely study of the intersection of literature, religion, and Christian conversion in nineteenth-century India through this new biography and intellectual history of Baba Padmanji and the 'vernacular missionary field'. She eloquently shows how bhakti or devotionalism was harnessed to express a modern Indian Christian conviction that asserted Christianity was the only real means toward radical social progress"

Christian Novetzke, Professor of International Studies and Comparative Religion, University of Washington, USA.

　
"This captivating biography of Baba Padmanji integrates the study of religious conversion, cultural politics, and book printing in Maharasthra.　 Dandekar brings to light a vernacular Christian tradition that has been ignored or suppressed in missionary and nationalist discourse.　 At a time when minorities in India are vilified as members of "foreign" religions, this book makes a timely intervention."
Chandra Mallampalli, Fletcher Jones Foundation Chair of Social Sciences, Westmont College, USA.
　
"Dandekar’s critical reading of Baba Padmanji’s prolific Marathi writings offers an excellent intervention in current scholarship on nineteenth-century Christian literature in Indian languages. Her study brings to life the intellectual contributions of this controversial and polemic figure by juxtaposing Marathi literary history and social reform debates with Christian conversion and feminism, a task seldom undertaken. Particularly valuable is her attention to various genres of Padmanji’s ouvre to investigate his shaping of a Protestant vernacular discourse in response to various interlocutors."
Hephzibah Israel, Senior Lecturer in Translation Studies, School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures, University of Edinburgh, UK.

"The book by Dr. Herson is written amazingly well. The book concentrates on pharmaceutical industrysponsored confirmatory clinical trials and can serve as excellent sources of knowledge for all the aspects of data safety monitoring committee (DMC) activities. A great feature of the book is the “DMCounselor” section at the end of each chapter, covering nearly 70 questions with answers, of which about 33% are for a DMC Chair, 30% for the DMC Biostatistician member, 30% for a DMC physician member, and the rest are for others (e.g., project manager)."~ Daniel Jia, Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics
"Nicely written and readable cover-to-cover, the author walks through every facet of a Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) beginning with an overview of their past and current place in drug development, to how they are organized and interfaced with other committees, and on to the specifics of how a typical meeting is split into an open and closed session. From there it moves on to clinical issues, including how SAEs are categorized, statistical methods, including Bayesian and frequentist conditional power calculations, common biases and pitfalls, and guidance for how DMC decisions are made. It concludes with emerging issues due to new clinical trial designs mandated by the FDA to speed up the drug development process."~Donna Pauler Ankerst, Biometrics

"Effective change management is one of the most essential skills for any leader - this book is a great reader for those new to leadership and those who need an insightful refresher. It’s accessible with real and relevant examples and based clearly on the broad experience of the authors and the individuals and organisations they’ve worked with.　 It’s the sort of book you’ll pick up for one purpose and then find that you’re drawn into – wanting (and needing) to read more and more."
Iain Watson, Director, Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums　

"Managing Change in Museums and Galleries inspires, educates and empowers the reader to approach change in their museum with confidence. It is the book that I wish I’d had to support me over the last 25 years of my museum career. It applies concepts and theory to real life challenges, drawing on strong case studies from in and outside the museum sector. It is an invaluable guide to navigating change, and the challenges and opportunities it brings, in museums today."
Emma Chaplin, Director, Association of Independent Museums



"This publication […] draws on the authors’ considerable experience in the sector, and it shows. Suitably anonymised or tastefully vague examples are trotted out when needed but mostly you definitely get a vibe of elders sharing their wisdom […] The use of quotes is much more effective at conveying what a chapter is trying to do and reminds me a little of […] another experience-based and well researched book we reviewed a while back."
