Creating a Shipping Board, a Naval Auxiliary, and Merchant Marine

'This wide variety of approaches to moral theory and ethics should suggest that contemporary anarchist philosophy is full of potential. These scholars demonstrate that anarchism is flexible enough to encompass traditions ranging from deep ecology to analytic philsosphy to postculturalism. Most encouraging to me, however, is that these academics are willing to theorize about their own social position as academics. As more anarchists enter academia, honest dialogue about what means to be an anarchist in a university becomes more important... This book ecourages anarchists to follow their tradition of direct action and direct engagement even as they continue to theorize - our future depends on our thoughts and our actions.' - Tristan K. Husby, Anarchist Developments in Cultural Studies

'The books performatively lives up to the idea of anarchism as a theory of practice and a way of practising theory as it embodies the idea of sharing knowledge, acknowledging differences and engaging in critical thought.' - Political Studies Review

Anarchism and Moral Philosophy

'The Open Book...would certainly make a valuable addition to any university library. The ideas evinced, though, are unusual and thought- provoking.' - Times Literary Supplement

'This is an academic book but, unlike many other academic books nowadays, it is a pleasure to read.' - John Mepham, Virginia Woolf Bulletin

"Finally, an important feature of the book is the methodological innovation. Many of the contributors are experts in the energy field, while others have more specifi c knowledge of Chinese energy security politics and policies. As such, the data and analyses provided represent an original mixture. This volume is valuable for all scholars and students with an interest in China’s energy policies, but particularly for policymakers and specialists concerned about getting a real understanding of China’s intricate dynamics, actors and processes in the field of energy security."

'This book is a welcome addition to the literature on Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC)...The historical perspective and the depth of analysis will extend the shelf-life considerably...Chapters are informative and useful on their own. However, reading the whole collection has great benefits...The book is an inspiration to explore these themes further against the backdrop of the useful perspectives and theoretical framework it introduces.' - Social Policy

"During the past thirty years political scientists have sought to explain the behavior of members of Congress by assuming that members are rational actors guided by a set of shared motivations - to gain election and reelection, to advance policy goals, and to further career ambitions. Such explanations have tended to downplay the importance of variables such as gender or political party. Jocelyn Jones Evans now offers the most thorough study to date of the role of gender and party in shaping the behavior of members of Congress. Drawing upon both quantitative and qualitative evidence, she argues that both gender and party affect member behavior. Furthermore, she offers an explanation of how these variables relate to explain the differing experiences of female Republicans and female Democrats. Her findings will command the attention of congressional scholars and chart a direction for future research." - Ronald M. Peters, Jr., University of Oklahoma

"Considering the extreme partisanship now characteristic of the House of Representatives and the increasing number of women in the chamber, it's about time that someone examined how party shapes women's House careers. Jocelyn Jones Evans does that. Her party culture framework is likely to prove controversial but should only increase interest in her study."
 - Barbara Sinclair, UCLA

"Arielli's monograph is a useful and valuable contribution to the historiography of the Fascist dictatorship. Nonetheless, it also has a clear appeal to any scholar of contemporary international relations in the Middle East and to the general reader in that it provides important insights into the policy and diplomacy of great powers in the Mediterranean area. Finally, in a scholarly landscape dominated by the studies of Emilio Gentile and Roger Griffin and by their interpretation of fascism only in terms of totalitarianism, the empirical approach of Arielli, so concentrated on Italy's pragmatic geopolitical interests, brings us back to ground." - Elisabetta Cassina Wolff, University of Olso, Norway

"Identification practices, though ancient in origin, are increasingly significant for daily life and consequential, for good or ill, for individuals and groups. This impressive collection glows with brilliant insights on how and why they have developed as they have, in different countries and cultures. Fascinating, illuminating and sometimes scary."
David Lyon, Queen's Research Chair in Surveillance Studies, Department of Sociology, Queen's University, Canada.

"This fine collection constitutes a major contribution to our growing understanding of the importance of identification practices in the modern world. It broadens the lens in both geographical and temporal terms. The volume thus extends the range of our appreciation of these practices and invites further research on under-studied areas and periods. The book represents a decisive advance in the frontier of identification studies."
John Torpey, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA.

"Piya Mahtaney's latest publication is on sustainable development, a subject of immense contemporary relevance globally. Mahtaney ably deals with the subject matter. Her analysis of key elements required to sustain development is well-reasoned and raises pertinent issues. As she rightly observes, sustainability is the life line of the future and has far reaching implications in the economic, social and political spheres." Minoo Shroff, Chairman, A.D Shroff Trust and President, Forum of Free Enterprise, India

"Mahtaney presents a fresh perspective on the economic situations in the US and the EU, which is achieved by comparing the systemic failings and current challenges of the two largest developed economic areas the Eurozone and the United States to the those of the biggest two emerging economies, India and China." - Journal of Human Rights in the Commonwealth

It is surprising that a phenomenon of such obvious political and ethical significance as domination has largely escaped comprehensive analysis in the modern debate. As the title of Frank Lovett's book suggests, however, he aims to do something about this unfortunate fact. The result is a well researched and well argued book that deserves attentionLovett has thrown much needed light on a politically and morally consequential matter, and produced a work of impressive
comprehensiveness in the process. Political philosophers and theorists will find much to engage with.

“The Social Life of Literature in Revolutionary Cuba provides a noteworthy discussion of recent Cuban cultural production and everyday life. Responding to economic, political and social changes, Cuban culture at this time acutely highlights the relationship between social well-being and cultural participation. Kumaraswami’s book will be of value to scholars seeking a timely interdisciplinary analysis of Cuban culture during the first two decades of the twenty-first century.” (Erin s.

“This practitioner-oriented book does an admirable job of describing the duties and spirit of the scrum master. The author presents his experiences and insights on being a scrum master in a conversational manner, peppered with anecdotes and asides. Reading this short book is like sharing ideas with an experienced colleague over a preferred beverage. If you aspire to be a scrum master or want to have a better understanding of the role, it is worth a read.” (A. Hevner, Computing Reviews, May, 2017)
