"This is brilliant book on the theory and practice of governance and public management. The author’s long experience in academia, government and international organization shows through clearly in this theory-driven study of cases in international development." — M. Ramesh, UNESCO Chair of Social Policy Design in Asia, National University of Singapore

"I highly recommend Dr. Gambhir Bhatta’s book ‘Those That Fix the Lights’: The Practice of Public Sector Management in Developing Asia to both policy makers and scholars. Gambhir elegantly argues how important institutions are for effectively delivering public goods and services. His proposals for institutional reform are persuasive, with fresh insights drawn from his rich professional experience." — KE Seetha Ram, Senior Consulting Specialist for Capacity Building and Training Projects, Asian Development Bank Institute

"Drawing on his many years working and studying the region, in his new book Gambhir Bhatta examines why governance capacity in many South, Central and Southeast Asian countries remains low and what can be done about it. Illustrated with many examples from Thailand to Tajikistan and the Maldives to Myanmar, the book is brimming with good advice about how institutions and processes can be strengthened and governments and governance improved in this ever more significant area of the world." — Michael Howlett, Burnaby Mountain Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier 1), Department of Political Science, Simon Fraser University

"Baker, James and Reader have produced a remarkable text that genuinely opens up new possibilities for theology and philosophy. ‘Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail’, would seem to be the right maxim here. We are grateful to the authors for this new mode of religious engagement with public space, for the common good." – Martyn Percy, University of Oxford

Les Tables de Martin, Ou Le Régulateur Universel Des Calculs En Parties Doubles

'With its ever-broadening awareness of writings by and about women, Catholics, radicals, Jews, and Muslims, criticism of early modern religious literature has become more and more ecumenical. But Michael Martin reminds us that one group of mystically-inclined writers - including eccentrics such as John Dee, Sir Kenelm Digby, Henry and Thomas Vaughan, Jane Lead, and even John Donne - remains sorely understudied and undervalued. Bolstered by penetrating insights from medieval and postmodern religious thinkers, Literature and the Encounter with God in Post-Reformation England is a sophisticated and informative study of these writers and of their diverse and determined attempts to approach an increasingly unapproachable God.' Gregory Kneidel, University of Connecticut, USA  'Martin's is a bold investigation ... [he] rescues figures from the margins, such as Lead and Dee, to demonstrate the ways in which early modern visions were manifested. The book constitutes a collection of case-studies demonstrating the vitality of religious experience in the seventeenth century. It also models for scholars new ways to discuss the role of religion in the late Renaissance.' Journal of the Northern Renaissance  'Martin's book ... is a readable and critically engaged consideration of the complexities of religious feeling for everyday people ... Martin's methodology introduces the importance of relinquishing a critical condescension towards religious conviction in order to consider it on its own terms ... [he] delivers a straightforward and comprehensive picture of an interesting variety of sources.' Seventeenth-Century News  'Martin’s close readings are compelling, and his discussions are rich with insights on early modern orthodoxy, scientific inquiry, and the language of desire. ... this study provides a fresh reading of mysticism and religious affect in the early modern period, particularly in its generous attempt to account for figures, like the Vaughans and Lead, who have histor

’This book certainly helps to fill in the niche of the complicated interdisciplinary study of the interrelation between political language and dictatorship. What is more, the author has succeeded in making it must-do reading for experts in political linguistics and equally understandable and enjoyable for all those interested in international politics, communication, and language. Through the rich content of the chapters and his globalized approach, Anderson enriches us with a critical and scientific analysis of a subject that is highly topical but unfortunately seldom chosen by scholars.’ Christ’l De Landtsheer, University of Antwerp, Belgium  ’An imaginative and important advance in the study of political language. Using theory and case studies from around the world, Anderson shows how changes in political discourse strongly foreshadow advances in democracy.’ Francis A. Beer, Professor Emeritus, University of Colorado, USA  '... a valuable empirical contribution to the  interdisciplinaty subject of political discourse. ... a very  useful and stimulating resource for a better understanding  of Russia's transition from Soviet rule and that countty's  place within broader global patterns of shifts between  repressive dictatorships and more inclusive democratic  political systems and identities.'

"...I take Lennon’s book to be an important addition to the philosophical literature, and she helps to advance our understanding of some difﬁcult and often contested philosophical ter-rain. In the course of synthesizing a vast interdisciplinary collection of works relating to the imaginary, she presents a clear and careful picture of the imaginary and its role in our experience of the world." - Amy Kind, Claremont McKenna College, Mind
"Kathleen Lennon's new monograph　joins a growing number of studies reclaiming the imagination from the dominance of a rationalist positivism. It marks the steps that have brought us toward modern concepts of the imagination, the Imaginary, and both body and social imaginaries… The book's　strength is the clarity of the conceptual history it lays out as it illuminates the complexity and conceptual resonances of "the imaginary texture of real" (p. 3). " - Jennifer A. Wagner-Lawlor, Pennsylvania State University, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"At once accessible and substantial, Lennon's book ranges productively from Kant to Sartre and Merleau-Ponty, and on to psychoanalysis and critical social theory. Especially fruitful is the exploration of the common ground between phenomenology and psychoanalysis, a heritage that is too easily forgotten today, and the very productive links between the imaginary and affect, which make a strong contribution to contemporary debates on the affective turn." - Charles Shepherdson, University at Albany - State University of New York, USA
"Kathleen Lennon’s book Imagination and the Imaginary introduces the essentials on the history of the modern concept of imagination within phenomenology, supplemented by psychoanalysis and postmodern theories. Lennon provides a thorough examination of the different ways in which imagination, the imaginary, and the imaginings of the world have been articulated, and her book ought to be a primary steppingstone in any exploration of these concepts." - Anders Essom-Stenz and Tone Roald, University of Copenhagen
