"The book is an impressive achievement, and it will be an important contribution to the literature on Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Ramsey, and the history of early analytic philosophy. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and learned a lot from it. It is not only a state-of-the-art contribution to scholarship but will also be a valuable textbook for courses on the history of early analytic philosophy, or on the work of one or more of the four philosophers discussed."
--David G. Stern, University of Iowa, USA

"This book is a significant contribution to studies in the history of analytic philosophy and will benefit upper-level undergraduates studying this material for the first time, as well as active researchers in the area."
--James Levine, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

*** On the importance of the publication of The Pentagon Papers ***&ldquo;The Pentagon Papers talk about the elusive quality of the truth&hellip; God bless The New York Times and Neil Sheehan for exposing it&hellip; If [printing the truth] is a dangerous thing to do, we&rsquo;re in a bad place.&rdquo;&#8211;Tom Hanks, Academy Award winning actor and star of the major motion picture The Post&ldquo;[Ellsberg] paints a striking picture of intelligent people persevering and tinkering with a war policy that could never be successful.&rdquo;&#8211;Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign Affairs&ldquo;The dominant purpose of the First Amendment was to prohibit the widespread practice of governmental suppression of embarrassing information. A debate of large proportions goes on in the Nation over our posture in Vietnam. Open debate and discussion of public issues are vital to our National Health.&rdquo;&#8211;Justice William O. Douglas&ldquo;This heroic act of journalism, and the legal ruling it forced the US Supreme Court to make, still stand today as the most powerful legal and moral weapon in the American media&rsquo;s battle against government secrecy&hellip; In honor of The Pentagon Papers, perhaps the first item on that long list of things we still don&rsquo;t know should be finding the truthful analysis of America&rsquo;s war on terrorism 15 years later, with no end in sight. One hopes it sits on a secure government hard drive somewhere.&rdquo;&#8211;Dana Priest, Columbia Journalism Review, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning national security reporter at The Washington Post and the John S. and James L. Knight Chair in Public Affairs Journalism at the University of Maryland&rsquo;s journalism school&ldquo;The WikiLeaks of its day.&rdquo;&#8211;Time&ldquo;A mass of significant data as to ensure its enduring usefulness&hellip; This enormous collection of documents and commentary undoubtedly deepens our understanding of the political premises and strategic objectives that have underlain the Indochina, and especially the Vietnam, policies of four American administrations.&rdquo;&#8211;George McT. Kahin, Cornell University&ldquo;The most significant leaks of classified material in American history.&rdquo;&#8211;Washington Post&ldquo;Clearly, secrecy remains a vexing subject in Washington. And on both the left and the right, views about the issue &#8212; especially about its implications for the relationship between the press and the government &#8212; continue to be shaped by an event that occurred almost four decades ago: The Pentagon Papers leak. By turning over a trove of classified documents to The New York Times in 1971, Daniel Ellsberg set in motion a political and legal battle of epic proportions. No other episode in American history has had greater influence on our conflicted politics of national-security secrecy.&rdquo;&#8211;Gabriel Schoenfeld, National Affairs*** What readers are saying about The Pentagon Papers ***&ldquo;Still one of the best books written about the U.S. involvement in one of the greatest fiascoes every devised by our government . . . that is unless we look closely at our involvement in Afghanistan.&rdquo;&#8211;Larry T. French, Amazon reviewer&ldquo;Every now and then in my classes, a student(s) will really get 'into' the Vietnam War. I like to give a copy to those who will really value it&hellip; The lessons from this book are many.&rdquo;&#8211;Mike Manaloff, Amazon reviewer&ldquo;This book is a MEAL&hellip; Small wonder the US Government fought so hard to suppress these damning documents! The loss of credibility and innocent trust toward government in the USA did not start with the Watergate break in; it started during the US war against Vietnam&hellip; This tome is a treasure trove of primary documents, and the New York Times narrative is carefully written to honor the original meanings of quotations that have been pieced together and make it possible to publish the events and documents in a single volume.&rdquo;&#8211;Donna Davis, Goodreads reviewer&ldquo;Utterly fascinating. The temptation to compare the lead up to Vietnam to our current wars falls away as the reader delves into the intricacies of the intrigue, all of which took place behind the scenes and years before all the flower children began protesting. This is not the baby boomer version of the war, where the youth were right there to go against the grain&hellip; Could not put this down.&rdquo; &#8211;Peter Mowris, Goodreads reviewer*** Praise for Skyhorse Publishing ***&ldquo;In the era of corporate dominated mainstream media and feckless herd reporting, Skyhorse's willingness to tackle tough issues that other publishers won't touch has made it a critical cog in our democracy.&rdquo;&#8211;Robert F. Kennedy Jr., New York Times bestselling author&ldquo;It has been a pleasure watching Skyhorse Publishing develop into one of the largest and fastest-growing independent publishers over the last decade. Trident does a good deal of business with Skyhorse. Skyhorse has become a cornerstone of independent publishing and has taken its rightful seat in the world of major trade publishing.&rdquo;&#8211;Robert Gottlieb, chairman of Trident Media Group, LLC

"This book will surely help consultants and manufacturers in closing the "gaps" that they may have in thermal performance of oil / gas fired boilers and heat recovery steam generators. …This is a "down to earth" book on the subject."—S.Damodaran, Director, Thermodyne Technologies Private Limited, Chennai, India
"This book is an ideal reference for anyone involved in the heat transfer field. It is practical for use as a reference by plant personnel who need an answer "right now" but it is detailed enough to allow consulting engineers, process engineers, manufacturing engineers, designers and even students to get a comprehensive understanding of how the equipment works and how to make sure what they have designed is really in the best interest of the plant."—Bob Stemen, Applied Heat Recovery, USA

'Racial Prescriptions provides an eloquent and theoretically-engaged account of the story of BiDil, a pharmaceutical that has become an iconic case for scholars of race in science and medicine.' Somatosphere
'The first drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on a racial basis - despite an absence of scientific evidence to demonstrate its specificity - BiDil provides a unique example of the encounter between minority politics and commercial strategies. This fascinating story is for Jonathan Xavier Inda the pretext for a broader reflection on the rebiologization and capitalization of race, and their significance in the contemporary politics of life.' Didier Fassin, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA
‘Racial Prescriptions makes a vital contribution to our evolving understanding of the complex ways that prescription drugs have come to encapsulate societal tensions about race and racisms. Inda elegantly unpacks how race has been biologized through the making of pharmaceuticals, and the implications of this biologization for us all. Racial Prescriptions also tells a broader story about the racial politics of life - and about the ways that "racial" health disparities represent both illnesses that affect racialized minorities, and national autobiographies about our bodies, our value judgements, and ourselves. This is vital reading indeed.’ Jonathan Metzl, Vanderbilt University, USA

More than twenty years after its first edition, this book brings reflections that are still relevant in the contemporary context. Essential reading for all those who are interested in learning more about men and their masculinities. - Marcos Nascimento, Men Engage Network and Instituto Fernandes Figueira, Fiocruz, Brazil
Dislocating Masculinity was a landmark publication that contributed to a then small, but growing, body of scholarship on men and masculinities. This new edition is needed now more than ever in our deeply divided times. Dislocating Masculinities will once again inspire scholars to think carefully and critically about the diversity of men and masculinities. - Jonathan Allan, Canada Research Chair in Queer Theory and Associate Professor in Gender and Women’s Studies and English and Creative Writing at Brandon University, Canada 
The publication of Dislocating Masculinity opened an entirely novel field of anthropological enquiry, and this edited collection continues to set the intellectual agenda for the cross-cultural exploration and theorization of gender relations. - Filippo Osella, Professor of Anthropology and South Asian Studies, School of Global Studies, University of Sussex
Dislocating Masculinity is a ground-breakinginterrogation of the social practices and categories of men and masculinities, highlighting their diverse, shifting, and contingent organisation and meaning through both insightful analysis and rich case studies. – Dr Michael Flood, Associate Professor in Sociology and an ARC Future Fellow (2015 - 2018), Wollongong University, Australia 

Excellent ... It is sure to arouse a good deal of interest, particularly in the new men's studies field, as well as the established one of women's/gender studies -　Pat Caplan, University of London

A timely volume with an important introduction by the editors which will set the terms of the debate on issues of men and masculinity for some time to come. -Sherry B. Ortner, University of Michigan

‘This pioneering volume gives us a widescreen account of the profound, complex, and fast-moving world of disability and social media. Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the cutting-edge of Internet, communication, and society, not to mention the rich area of disability which opens up new perspectives on key questions in technology, design, participation, democracy, and social justice.’ - Gerard Goggin, University of Sydney, Australia
'This vibrant collection highlights the inherent variety and variability of social media, drawing attention to disability in multiple forms and contexts. Touching on technological design, educational contexts, communication, community, and activism, It will be of interest to scholars in media, communication, and disability studies. Furthermore, it marks an important global extension of social media research. Fascinating, diverse, and engaging.' - Elizabeth Ellcessor Indiana University, U.S.A
