"This comprehensive volume carefully considers counterinsurgency doctrine in action. It's overall conclusions point to the strategic futility of this tactical doctrine and its contribution to the failure of U.S. military power in Iraq and Afghanistan.' - Col (ret) Douglas Macgregor, USA, author of Warrior's Rage, Transformation under Fire and Breaking the Phalanx  "A timely and path-breaking series of analyses that show the shortcomings, but also the enduring features, of the counter-insurgency debate of recent years. A future research agenda is clearly cut out for us." - Isabelle Duyvesteyn, Utrecht University, The Netherlands  "This is a book that no one interested in the way COIN seduced policymakers can afford not to read - and read again. Each chapter casts new light on the theory and practice of counterinsurgency warfare from after World War II to Iraq and Afghanistan. All the authors demonstrate both special knowledge and general understanding of the issues. Explored in all its variations, the basic theme is the contradiction of an outside force promising to protect a population against its local enemies, and in the end creating a dependency." - Lloyd Gardner, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University, USA and author of the forthcoming Killing Machine: the American Presidency in the Age of Drone Warfare

‘Amid the growing scholarship on videogames, gaming and historical enquiry, Virtual History offers a refreshing introduction to the broader debates about how—and why—video games offer new ways of viewing, consuming, and playing with the past. Tackling a range of complex issues about history, historiography, gender, ethics, economics, race and politics, Martin Wainwright has brought together a range of voices to give a walkthrough of the latest developments in the field. This book is highly recommended to all interested students, players and readers interested in what is at stake when we play with history on our screens.’

Addiction

"The reader of this excellent study of Dickens's Oliver Twist, Dombey and Son, and Bleak House quickly becomes
enmeshed in Gordon's impassioned inquiries. Exhilarating reads, these serious novels provide inexhaustible material
for critical analyses. Drawing on the work of such scholars as J. Hillis Miller, Terry Castle, and Michel Slater (author
of the magisterial Charles Dickens, CH, Apr'10, 47-4288), Gordon (Connecticut College) sheds light on Dickens's
magical force. Among the topics he examines are pedophilia, anti-Semitism, industrialism, capitalism, and liminal
experiences. Dickens's complex narrative style includes a variety of tropes - melodrama, fairy tale, the gothic. The
three novels depict child sacrifice, corrupt patriarchs, and social disharmony. Oliver Twist is preoccupied by sadism
and infanticide, horrors Dickens buffers with Oliver's good fortune and hypnagogic trances. Dombey and Bleak
House move beyond that fairy-tale world, dealing with contemporaneous social institutions and issues (railroads,
capitalism, social leadership). In the complex Bleak House, women's trials constitute a special subset of issues as
women seek satisfaction in an elusive motherhood; the narrative intertwines a retrospective, wounded female voice
with a dominating masculine presence. Thus the reader of the novelist's "psychological pleasure palace" is challenged
by alternative perceptions. Gordon's discussion of all this makes for an excellent book." - Choice

"With the two-hundredth anniversary of his birth imminent, we can expect a flood of books on Charles Dickens. I suspect, however, that few of them will display as much critical intelligence as Sensation and Sublimation in Charles Dickens, and I doubt that any will match the positively Dickensian energy, wit, and gusto that Gordon brings to his subject." - Austin Briggs, Tompkins Professor of English Emeritus, Hamilton College

"This astonishingly alert reading explores the tension between surface narrative and covert allusion. Its many new insights strengthen our sense ofDickens's creative brilliance anddeepenourunderstanding of three of his novels." - Robert Lapides, Professor of English, City University of New York

Sensation and Sublimation in Charles Dickens

“This book critically examines argumentation in science classrooms both in terms of underlying theories and practical application. It describes the most recent research into a topic that has already become one of the most important in science education this decade. I commend it to researchers, teachers and policy-makers alike.”Justin DillonProfessor of Science and Environmental Education, King’s College London President, European Science Education Research Association (ESERA)
