“Marjorie Levine-Clark opens her account of unemployment and masculinity with a comparison to the present. … the author provides a nuanced analysis of gender during the era of the contested discovery of unemployment. Overall, this is a well-researched and well-written book, and it makes an important contribution to British welfare history.” (Matt Perry, The American Historical Review, Vol. 121 (2), April, 2016)“Levine-Clark tackles the expansion of welfare in Britain’s late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with a sharp, engaging focus on the state’s cultivation of working-class masculine hierarchies. … Levine-Clark’s careful exploration of gender and the meaning of employment offers a fresh perspective on work, the state, and political subjectivities, one that should influence future research.” (Katie Hindmarch-Watson, Journal of Modern History, Vol. 88 (4), 2016)“Levine-Clark (history, Univ. of Colorado Denver) has written an extremely useful book on masculinity, unemployment, labor citizenship, and welfare. … Chapters of the work could be usefully assigned in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in either gender or British history. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (R. J. Bates, Choice, September, 2015)"Unemployment, Welfare, and Masculine Citizenship will appeal to those working in fields across the history of modern Britain, as well as scholars working on histories of the welfare state, gender, and other topics in international perspective. It seems likely that future research in the British context will help to highlight the myriad ways in which this particular system of welfare worked itself out across regional and social differences, and that Levine-Clark's work will serve as the first step in this new direction." - Reviews in History

“This book brings a welcome contribution to the field of housing market dynamics in Africa. The book provides an excellent compilation of the dynamics, policies and debates central to understanding housing markets, in a context where the evidence is often incoherent or anecdotal. ... the book is a must-read for both academics and policymakers. The book is available as an open access work, and this will hopefully increase its readership and promote African books.” (Lochner Marais, International Journal of Housing Policy, Vol. 19 (3), 2019)

“I enjoyed reading this book for its geostatistical content, extension to the area of geophysics, and for its production quality. The target audience is the petroleum engineer, geophysicist, or numerically oriented geologist. … This book would be appropriate for an upper level undergraduate class and above.” (Michael Ed. Hohn, Mathematical Geosciences, Vol. 50, 2018)​

'This is a very timely and important contribution to the increasingly urgent debate regarding the revitalisation of democracy. The author demonstrates the all-too-rare academic leadership that not only provides a powerful bridge between theory and practice but also navigates the frustrating divides that mysteriously persist between the fields of political theory, public administration, political leadership and political marketing.

“This book does a good job of presenting the impetus for the study, explaining why so few studies of this nature exist, detailing the findings, and suggesting ways in which the results can inform pedagogy. … will be an interesting and informative read for those who work with FY students in the post-secondary classroom and in support services, such as writing centres. … this reviewer believes that this study makes genuine contributions to the body of knowledge on FY writing.” (Tina Beynen, The Linguist List, linguistlist.org, June, 2016)

The Fiery Aftermath

“Edited by Charlotte Lemanski and Colin Marx, this book thus highlights the dynamics of space and its interaction with processes of exploitation. It also addresses what are currently implicit spatial aspects of urban poverty. … By promoting the spatial analytical framework that lies at the core of understanding urban poverty, this book calls for ‘a new spatial politics of urban poverty’ and offers a broader range of strategies for poverty reduction available to scholars and policy makers alike … .” (Hannah Keren Lee, E&U, environmentandurbanization.org, March, 2016)

The City in Urban Poverty

"Goldberg's book has a little of everything - detailed archival work, courtroom drama, theoretical speculation, microhistory, macrohistory, every social class possible and plenty of gender groups, biography, and late medieval England, all in the service of a question about the legal history of rape. It's like a stylistic melding of Natalie Zemon Davis's Martin Guerre with Duby's William Marshal: Flower of Chivalry. The cast of characters in the beginning is a great touch." - Bonnie Wheeler, English and Medieval Studies, Southern Methodist University

"The book gives us a good picture of how a court case of this sort worked in practice, with lots of insights into actual and potential complications on the societal and legal levels." - Speculum

"Goldberg's study will be of great interest to specialists of pre-modern canon law, especially in regard to women's right to choose to marry or to have sex, as well as to the power men may exercise over them. In this regard, Jermey Goldberg's thorough investigation is truly illuminating, not only for its patient and precise reconstructions but also for its numerous and extremely carefully examined sources, and for the forty pages of endnotes that constitute a fascinating cornucopia of further reflections and discussions." - Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching

“Kara Reilly’s edited collection on theatre and analogue technology is timely. … Reilly’s collection claims to be, and is, the first study that historicizes ‘discourses of digital performance’. … This book will be of interest to all theatre and performance students and scholars, as well as science and cultural historians and all those interested in examining how theatre, performance, and technology have come together not only in current practice but also in a diverse range of historical contexts.” (Maria Chatzichristodoulou, New Theatre Quarterly, Vol. 31 (3), August, 2015)'These explorations of intriguing oddities of performance history, interspersed by 46 illustrations, covers projects ranging from Richard Beacham's minutely re-created Roman-era toy theatre with mechanized movable parts to Michael Chemers's ongoing work with robots whose artificial intelligences lack (to date) what is understood as empathy Recommended [for] graduate students, researchers, faculty, technical students, professionals, general readers.'

"Terror and the Arts vividly explores the fractures and paradoxes of contemporary politics from the viewpoint of aesthetic experience. Be it visual, literary, poetic or musical, art allows us an insight into the terrorized present that can perhaps help in framing it differently, criticizing and avoiding the automatic response of aggression and retaliation. Whoever thinks that the present confronts us with the need to re-think and re-name contemporary violence must read this challenging collection of essays." - Adriana Cavarero, author of Horrorism: Naming Contemporary Violence

"Terror mobilizes the arts, visual and narrative, as well as their scholarly study. Not only, as can be expected, for the struggle against terrorism or for working through the trauma. In surveying the spaces between general human response to terror and defined political engagement, the insightful and often controversial chapters of this volume also raise more disconcerting questions: about complexities of judgment in the artistic processing of terror, about the possible competition between the arts and the acts that raise the threshold for subversion and shock, about the ways in which the arts can slide or be coerced into normalizing terror or furthering the issues promoted by terrorist groups or regimes, about the arts entrapment in the cultural circulation under the sign of terror, and about the ways in which the arts, politicized by terror, inevitably implicate their audience. The book opens new intellectual vistas, rejecting comfortable attitudes." - Leona Toker, Professor of English, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

"How can cataclysmic traumas such as 9/11 or appalling spectacles such as Abu Ghraib be made the objects of art, and what political value might they have? By reading the arts politically, Terror and the Arts demonstrates with great clarity and insight the vitally important role of the arts in imaginatively working through the unspeakable violence of our age." - Mark Freeman, College of the Holy Cross and author of Rewriting the Self

"Few would deny that anti-Americanism is on the rise around the world, but just what it is and why does it matter? This perceptive volume pulls together essays by some of the world's top scholars to dissect a growing, dangerous, and often misunderstood phenomenon. Anyone who cares about the American image in the world today would benefit from reading it."
 - Philip H. Gordon, author of Allies at War: America, Europe and the Crisis over Iraq

"With Us or Against Us is an illuminating perspective on the many different strands of contemporary anti-Americanism. Covering reactions from all the major regions of the world - Western and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia - we learn that anti-Americanism reflects the identities and interests of the anti-Americanists as much as the actions of Americans and their leaders. An important book on a critical subject."
 - Bruce Cain, Robson Professor of Political Science, Director of the Institute of Governmental Studies, UC Berkeley

"Anti-Americanism is both visceral and complex, singular in its target yet diverse in its implications. This collection of essays by a distinguished group of international scholars brings both immediacy and deep reflection to this most important phenomenon."
 - Alan Wolfe , Boston College

"This volume contains one of the first evaluations of global attitudes toward the US and how they have changed over the years. It contains many interesting and important insights into the nuanced and differential nature of Anti-Americanism worldwide. The chapters pursue an innovative distinction among three characteristics of anti-Americanism: fear of its power, resentment of its economic model and contempt for its brand of mass culture. The book offers a fresh perspective on this key contemporary issue and its global viewpoint is especially useful."
 - Helen Milner, Princeton University
