The Secret of the Broken Clock

"[Burwick] leads us, his readers, with an exacting eye through the much neglected repertoire of London popular theater with a view to unsettling our notions of Romantic theater history, while his wholly original account of its audiences leads to a novel understanding of the great city itself in the revolutionary age. In short, it is both a book about London's theater, and a book about London and the theater from a scholar who has devoted his storied career to the subject." - The Wordsworth Circle

"Burwick places the audience at center stage in this impressively inclusive account of 'popularity' in London's theatrical underworld. Based on extensive archival research, and with a cast of brilliant characters, Playing to the Crowd takes a bracingly fresh look at Romantic-era theatre and makes us rethink a subject we thought we already knew." - Nicholas Roe, Professor of English, University of St. Andrews

"In Playing to the Crowd, Burwick brings his massive erudition to bear upon the popular theaters of early nineteenth-century London. This wide ranging study explores the relationship between particular theaters, playwrights, and stage managers and the local London neighborhoods they sought to entertain. For the first time, we get an account of how popular theaters in London were defined by class and ethnicity, with, for example, audiences at the working class transpontine theaters reveling in the exploits of heroic waterman or crowds from London's 'Little Italy' thrilling to depictions of the Foscari and Masaniello. As Burwick takes us through London's theatrical neighborhoods, we learn of how Moore used his satiric talents to dramatize the situation in Ireland, how Schiller's Tell was rendered melodramatic to appeal to London's German population, and how Coleridge's Zapolya was fitted to audiences craving Gothic terrors by highlighting its allusions to the legend of the werewolf. This book is essential reading to anyone interested in the drama and theater of the nineteenth century." - Jeffrey N. Cox, Professor of English and of Comparative Literature and Humanities, University of Colorado at Boulder

"This book makes an important contribution to an understanding of the profound changes in policing that have occurred within a relatively short period of time in Northern Ireland. It also contributes to an understanding of organizational change in general. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in deepening his or her understanding of this complex situation."
- Rutgers University Review

"Murphy's close and detailed analysis provides a nuanced account of these important issues, and her work adds a valuable dimension to our understanding of the transition from RUC to PSNI. It will be of interest to researchers and policy-makers interested in the process of police reform in Northern Ireland and internationally and in the internal dynamics of organizational change generally." - Aogán Mulcahy, British Journal of Criminology

'Doing business in China is exciting. Whether you take on a local partner or go it alone will depend on circumstance and this book will help answer many of your questions. Both ways can work. Use your instincts, watch the body language, learn their customs and give respect. Remember the fundamentals of business are the same everywhere. Stability in your relationship management team is vital and more important than contracts, because you can fix a bad contract if you have a good relationship. I don't believe in multiple Chinese partners, pick one and run hard. Lub Bun has witnessed both success and failure in China. Enjoy the read.'

'Since China's opening in 1978, many companies around the world have tried to penetrate the lucrative Chinese market, but many struggled while a good number also failed largely due to insufficient understanding of this market. Indeed, operating in the Chinese market is more complex than what has been told or taught. One of the many factors in the lack of success has to do with how a company finds and manages the Chinese partner. As such, it is enlightening to find a book that provides insights on how prominent companies like Danone, Nestlé, Coca-Cola and SABMiller have managed their Chinese partners.'

The new book Powering Autonomous Sensors: An Integral Approach with Focus on Solar and RF Energy Harvesting provides an engaging look into the world of the Smart Powering of Wireless Systems. The book covers the full chain of energy-processing steps for wireless autonomous sensors, i.e. sensors that are able to operate reliably with a minimum amount of power harvested from the environment. The use of various ambient energy sources available is analyzed. Methods and circuits for the efficient storage of harvested energy in batteries and capacitors are analyzed and evaluated, with detail provided for optical and RF harvesters. Circuits and systems are proposed, evaluated and tested with simulations and/or experiments performed by the authors. The main focus is the optimization of favorable circuits for low-power applications.This work is an excellent introduction for anyone starting to work in this relatively new field of research. It is unique in its clear and consistent approach to evaluating the opportunities for and problems with energy management for low-power sensors. The many tables with features and typical component values provided by the suppliers and completed with experiment results, make it easy for readers to make a quantitative analysis by themselves.  This work is very suitable not only as an introduction for researchers, but also as study guide for graduate and post-graduate students, and postdocs.Prof. Dr. Ir. Gerard C.M. Meijer, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
