"Political Economy of the United States delivers a balanced, thorough, and lucid assessment of the complex reciprocal relationships between America’s economic and political systems. Johnson’s masterful synthesis is nuanced and sophisticated but presented in a style fully accessible to undergraduates. It would make a perfect complementary reading for the introductory American politics course."– Gary Jacobson, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, Emeritus, University of California, San Diego
“Even as government has expanded, the economy has become more unequal, and economic policymaking has become more polarized, we have lacked an accessible, readable, and comprehensive introduction to the interaction between government and the economy in the United States. Until now. Political Economy of the United States instantly becomes the definitive text on this vital, timely, and fascinating topic.” – Jacob S. Hacker, Stanley B. Resor Professor of Political Science, Yale University
"Political Economy of the United States shines a new and important light on the political dynamics that shape the American economy, warts and all. By highlighting the role of Congress, Johnson pinpoints the ways in which today's increasingly partisan politics in Washington indelibly influence the direction and resilience of the US economy. Johnson's historical perspective offers invaluable context for students seeking to understand the past, present, and future political economy of today's polarized America." – Sarah Binder, George Washington University and The Brookings Institution

"Remember Web 2.0? Its shiny promises of participation, creativity and empowerment seem a very long time ago, as social media curdle into narcissism, data mining and election fraud. Greg Singh surveys the rubble of the Web 2.0 moment, and builds a powerful argument about the ethics of connection, recognition, and twenty-first-century communication."— Graham Meikle, Professor of Communication and Digital Media, University of Westminster, UK

"Meeting the educational needs of foster youth is a chronic problem that continues to be alarmingly difficult to address. Foster youth enter each classroom with a plethora of prior experiences that can challenge the best educators, challenges that go far beyond the classroom. It is for that reason that a cross disciplinary approach to meeting their needs, including educational needs, is a must. The Framework presented here by Amy Bishop is truly a labor of love and is one that she has developed over the years as she worked to develop, enhance and improve a process by which the foster youth in her community could successfully achieve their educational goals. This is a must read for anyone who works with foster youth; educators, case workers, foster parents, mental health clinicians, and many others- you will all recognize your special place at the table for these deserving youth."

"Happiness, Well-Being, and Sustainability is the first text book aimed at teaching students the new science of happiness and well-being measurement and to think of it in the context of making positive – and sustainable – changes to society. It provides extensive and robust evidence of the theory and metrics underlying the well-being approach, and at the same time links it to those of systemic change. It provides students with lessons on how to be agents of their own destiny, and to use that agency to contribute to the well-being and sustainability of their societies. The authors make their broad objective very eloquently in the introduction by quoting Ghandi: "be the change you wish to see in the world." It is a refreshing and accessible volume that will provide the next generation with better tools to navigate and improve their collective futures." – Carol Graham, Leo Pasvolsky Senior Fellow, College Park Professor, University of Maryland
"I am speaking today with a group of high-school students exploring ways to create a sustainably happier world. I so wish this book was already here to assist their project. They will learn, I hope, and as the book illustrates, that authentic happiness arises most readily when people work with each other, and not against others, to deliver a better world for generations to come." – John Helliwell, Professor at Vancouver School of Economics, University of British Columbia, co-editor, World Happiness Report
"The book's practical focus on individual development, coupled with suggestions on how to influence society, makes this book unique as a textbook in an academic institution. It is not just a knowledge-sharing book, it is a practical book for action and influence […] The book also lives well outside of educational institutions. It serves as an excellent introduction for the interested reader who is unsure of what one can do, and who is important for the global climate challenge we face."– Bjørn Z. Ekelund, Senior Consultant and Chairman of the Board at Human Factors AS, Norway, and Research Fellow at the Centre for Global Workforce Strategy, Simon Fraser University, Canada.

"This is a valuable book for teachers and researchers to understand the thinking behind learners’ actions and attitudes towards English language learning. It offers insights into how Chinese learners’ beliefs about English language learning were developed from early encounters with the language and how these students developed over time to utilize an expanded range of learning strategies, moving from a narrow focus on correctness of form to the broader concerns of discourse and communication. The author skilfully weaves learners’ voices into the descriptions, and discusses pedagogical implications and suggestions to help Chinese learners move ahead in English language learning." — Dr Lee Hwee Hoon, Assistant Professor, Singapore Institute of Technology
"This book is a must read for academics and students in the growing internationalisation of higher education and related fields. It contributes to a critical understanding of the lived experiences of international students in both the Global North and little researched Global South contexts. This way it adds to the badly needed literature on how diverse students adapt to their international contexts whether internationalisation takes place at home or abroad or both as in the case of the learners whose integration and transitional experiences form the basis of this book. It will be found helpful in terms of comparative higher education." — Juliet Thondhlana, Lecturer in Education and Applied Linguistics, University of Nottingham
"Throughout the chapters, learner voices, gleaned from diaries, interviews, and a sole autobiography, relate stories of triumphs and discouragements, trials and discoveries over nearly five years. This book, which gives a multifaceted picture of learners in transition – in their beliefs, strategies, motivation, identity, agency,investment and affect, is a valuable resource to teachers, curriculum designers, and program administrators." — Maria Luisa C. Sadorra, Senior Lecturer, National University of Singapore

With organizations increasingly global in purpose, scope, and ownership, leaders are of necessity learning to operate across great cultural and market divides. Raised in one tradition but now required to work in many, company managers, movement activists, and public officials are wise to read Gama Perruci’s Global Leadership: A Transnational Perspective, a powerful playbook for leveraging diversity and leading everywhere. Michael Useem, management professor and director of the Leadership Center at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and co-author of Mastering Catastrophic Risk. 
This remarkable book brings us to the cutting edge of the polymorphous study of leadership. It presents a research-based typology for understanding the nuances of leading in a global context. Transnational problems like poverty, pollution, migration, pandemics and rogue leaders can no longer be solved locally. They call for an enlarged concept of global leadership and this book offers it, by expanding our views as well as challenging received ideas. This is a book for everyone interested in leadership in the new world. Georgia Sorenson, Ph.D., Churchill College, Cambridge University 
Global Leadership solves the riddle for how to think about leading today with a global mindset. Perruci is one of the few theorists whose life experience and expertise offers the credibility to take on one of the most complicated and needed topics in leadership studies. From now on, when I am asked "so what do we know about global leadership?" I will recommend this book. Adam Goodman, Center for Leadership & McCormick School of Engineering, Northwestern University

The dominant models and theories of the past aren't working in our increasingly globalized world. In Global Leadership, Perruci presents a timely and powerful message for all who study, develop and practice leadership. The practical, cultural and ethical lenses offered by Global Leadership will help leaders sense and act in response to rapidly shifting perspectives, emergent systems and ever-changing needs and challenges.　Stephen Trainor, The Google School for Leaders

"The new edition of the Handbook of Health Psychology by Revenson and Gurung is simply outstanding. Across 40 chapters written by leading experts on many different aspects of health and illness, this remarkable volume provides a very thorough and informative overview of the current state of the science of health psychology."
—Kenneth E. Freedland, Washington University School of Medicine, USA

"This volume is a tour de force which achieves breadth and depth. It shows the reach of the field of Health Psychology from biological processes to social determinants, and provides both historical grounding and future vision.　 It will serve as an important resource to the field."
—Nancy E. Adler, University of California, USA

"This comprehensive, forward-thinking handbook will be a great asset to the multidisciplinary audience of students learning about health psychology. The chapters focused on specific groups of individuals will be particularly valuable to the next generation of professionals who work in the area."
—David B. Sarwer, Associate Dean for Research & Director of Center for Obesity Research and Education, Temple University, USA

"This volume represents no less than a quantum leap in the application of single-case designs to the rehabilitation setting. With crisp writing and meticulous scholarship, Tate and Perdices have given us an instant classic on an increasingly important route to evidence-based practice. They unpack the confusing terminology, explain all of the design variations, and offer a valuable ten-step approach to implementation. This book will fill a much-needed niche in clinics, classrooms, and laboratories the world over." - Tessa Hart, Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, USA

"Tate and Perdices have written a comprehensive, crystal clear guide for how to conduct and analyze SCED studies specific to the field of neurorehabilitation. This book will be my go to resource for designing and evaluating SCED studies and teaching this methodology to my students. Without a doubt, this text will elevate the evidence-base for interventions designed to improve the lives of people affected by neurological disease and injury." - McKay Moore Sohlberg, University of Oregon, USA

"Several ingredients make this book a valuable guideline for applied researchers: advice on enhancing internal and external validity when planning and conducting studies that can contribute to identifying evidence-based practices, overview of the myriad of data analytical options, and suggestions for comprehensive reporting. The practical approach is boosted by the integration of all these aspects in a ten-step illustration." - Rumen Manolov, University of Barcelona, Spain

"Tate and Perdices have produced a text that captures their years of experience and expertise, and they clearly set the standard for applying single-case experimental designs in the context of neuropsychological rehabilitation. The text provides in-depth discussion of scientific methodology that informs clinical research, but goes beyond that to provide practical advice and direct guidance that will allow clinicians to evaluate the effectiveness of their treatments and inform their future practice. This work is a unique contribution to the field for scientist-practitioners." – Keith Cicerone, JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, USA

’Drawing and marking spatial boundaries is one of the fundamental ways in which human societies organize themselves.  Finally with this volume we have a critical synthesis between empirical studies of political boundaries and theoretical reflection on the various social practices of bordering. I expect this book to have a significant impact on future research and in the classroom.’ John Agnew, UCLA, USA.   ’Nailing the myth of a borderless worldonce and for all, this fascinating mix of authors take the geographer's traditional concern for borders into a myriad of new and subtle directions. The message that borders are inherent to contemporary globalization practices and discourses needs to be heard beyond geography. This book is essential reading for all scholars of globalization.’  Professor Peter Taylor, Ghent University, Belgium.

“Arguably, Vieda Skultans is the most prominent contemporary Latvian social anthropologist…One of the best assets of this book is its introduction. In its 15 lucid and condensed pages, Skultans summarizes her intellectual journey and contextualizes the articles presented in the collection, thus providing readers with a highly efficient guide to the themes that hold the book together.”  ·  Journal of Baltic Studies

	“If anthropologists want to attend to wider audiences and adjoining disciplinary perspectives, this book is an inspiring example of how anthropology can be both challenged and enriched by such dialogue. Few have managed this with Skultans’s dexterity or determination.”  ·  JRAI

	“This volume brings together for the first time many of Skultans's important, even ground-breaking essays on psychiatry, religion and culture. It is a gift for those of us working in the field.”  · Tanya Luhrmann, University of Chicago
