From the West to the West: Across the Plains to Oregon

’This volume provides an excellent theoretical, historical and empirical infrastructure for understanding the contemporary crises and turbulences in the Middle East. It rightly focuses on the key forces behind major developments and events, and the often neglected linkages among them. The volume is a significant contribution to the scholarly literature on the Middle East frequently marred by political and ideological agenda.’  Eytan Gilboa, Bar-Ilan University, Israel  ’...a thoughtful, engaging, and analytically rigorous collection of path-breaking studies on a vitally important region of the world. Understanding the political dynamics of this rapidly changing region requires an appreciation of culture and identity, context and nuance. Each of the chapters is carefully conceived, the arguments are clear, the exposition is concise, and the supporting documentation is thorough. Readers with a general interest in the Middle East as well as specialists in the areas of political development and Islamic Studies will benefit from the original and insightful treatment of the interplay between religion and political behavior.’ Gregory A. Raymond, Boise State University, USA  ’Today’s Middle East is torn between efforts to maintain traditional cultures, and efforts to modernize. This book provides excellent regional overviews and country case studies of how this tension is playing out. It clearly shows that responsible practitioners, analysts, and students do not have the luxury of asserting that the Middle East can be viewed as a monolithic region.’ Daniel S. Papp, President, Kennesaw State University, USA

"Extensively researched in advertising archives, mass magazines, and scholarly studies, this book persuasively argues that advertising for cleaning, food, and other household products has changed only modestly over the past 110 years." - CHOICE

"Thorough and interesting ... Neuhaus offers keen observations, and the book is well-written." - Journalism History

"This deeply researched analysis makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of how the cultural figure of the housewife in modern American advertising continues to perform the same function as the symbol did at the end of the 1800s, despite the widespread critique of the 1970s." - Juliann Sivulka, professor of American Studies, Waseda University and author of Ad Women: How They Impact What We Need, Want, and Buy

"With this book, Neuhaus continues her work in popular culture scholarship, this time closely examining commercial messages that were projected into the public arena in order to influence consumer behavior. She is a skilled reader of visual and verbal texts, a lively writer, and a fine researcher. To the standard practices of popular culture scholarship she adds research about the producers of those messages. Because of the limitations of popular culture scholarship as typically practiced, this additional research deepens the merits of the work as an historical analysis. It also sets the work apart from a plenitude of studies of housework, gender, and consumer culture." - Pamela Walker Laird, Professor, History Department, University of Colorado Denver

"What can you say about a classic book in its 11th edition? It turns out you can say a lot. Looking in Classrooms maintains its focus on classroom teachers, connecting theory to practice and translating what current research says about the tasks of teaching into a language that all can understand. With four new chapters and an overall update, it is still the best book out there to summarize the observational research on teaching—applied educational psychology at its best, now better than ever."
—Robert Burns, Professor of Learning and Instruction in the School of Education at the University of San Francisco, USA
"This book cuts through the clutter—it strips away the jargon and attends to the foundations of great teaching based on decades of research. For beginning teachers who need a place to start their learning and for veterans seeking to reflect on and improve their practice, this book is an essential tool. "
—Amanda R. Bozack, Director of the School of Teacher Education and Leadership at Radford University, USA
"Here is a book that should be read by anyone who teaches students and by those studying educational psychology. Looking in Classrooms successfully and comprehensively presents rich and empirically solid literature on teaching and learning in language that is accessible to pre-service teachers and seasoned professors. It deftly weaves pertinent educational psychology research with practical applications and suggestions for implementation. This book should have a prominent place in every educator’s professional library."
—Christine M. Rubie-Davies, Professor of Education at the University of Auckland, New Zealand

’...  a welcome addition to the rapidly-gowing Ashgate series: a thought-provoking and (at times) polemical book that will be highly useful in the popular music curriculum and highly popular among music technology students, most of whom will welcome such a trenchant critique of the current state of play.’ Journal of Music Technology and Education  ’... serves as a provocation and stimulus for further work and discussion.’ Media International Australia  ’In this wide-ranging text, Charles Fairchild offers a detailed analysis of the music industry, and the broader entertainment industry of which it is part, in the early 21st century. ... the writing is fluid and engaging, and Fairchild offers a persuasive critique of the 'active consumer' thesis. Readers interested in the multifarious and at times paradoxical profit-making strategies of the entertainment industry will gain many rich insights from this text.’ Association for Recorded Sound Collections Journal  ’Fairchild’s Pop Idols and Pirates is a good read for those wanting an introductory examination of the consumer/producer relationship within the music industry as it relates to Australian Idol...’ Popular Music

"Providing an empirically based theoretical framework for understanding teachers’ emotions, Benesch makes a major contribution to the growing literature on emotions in the field of applied linguistics. Benesch elaborates the notion of emotion labor and argues that such labor is central to our work as teachers. In making this move, she rejects the notion that teachers’ emotions should be experienced privately or bracketed when it comes to their professional lives and honors the full work that we do."
