The History Of The Kirk Of Scotland; Volume 6

'Mary Tighe was one of the most gifted, innovative, and influential poets of the British Romantic era. What a treat to have published, at long last, Tighe's only novel, unknown to all but a few of her closest contemporaries. Harriet Kramer Linkin's fascinating, informative and well-researched introduction makes a compelling case for the novel and draws intriguing connections between it and more familiar works of the period. Selena not only helps to contextualize Tighe's exquisite poetry but gives us deeper insight into Tighe's intellect, sensibility and powers of imagination.' Paula R. Feldman, University of South Carolina, author of British Women Poets of the Romantic Era  'Tighe's expansive novel employs Gothic tropes and social satire to give a powerfully unsettling representation of gender and power; this welcome edition of her previously unpublished work extends our knowledge of Romantic women's writing.' Aileen Douglas, Trinity College Dublin  '... a gold mine for social historians... Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.'  Choice  'Linkin now offers the first edition of Selena, complete with a useful introduction and excellent notes... Harriet Linkin's scholarly edition will be invaluable in giving Selena the attention it deserves...'  Times Literary Supplement  'A very attractive feature of the edition is its incorporation of eight illustrations from an 1805 manuscript volume, where the watercolours accompany the same poems which are reproduced within the novel ... [this is] a very fine scholarly edition which brings this previously 'hidden' work to light.' BARS Review

A Scholarly Edition

Selena by Mary Tighe

"The nexus between international education and migration is a complex one, and suggests a new kind of transnational cultural politics, transforming the notion of migrancy itself. This book provides a wonderful analysis of the aspirations of international students to embrace the new possibilities that transnationalism now offers -- of global mobility, opportunities and flexible citizenship." - Professor Fazal Rizvi, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, The University of Melbourne, Australia
"This richly detailed book interestingly reveals how multiple and conflicting logics of belonging and imagining generates new understandings of the processes of transnationalism, migration and identity." - John Urry, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Lancaster University, UK

'Nuanced, insightful, and richly detailed, Brenda Weber's study of women's literary celebrity in the nineteenth century offers provocative readings of texts by Elizabeth Gaskell, Fanny Fern, Margaret Oliphant and Elizabeth Keckley, among others. Deftly revealing how Victorian women writers on both sides of the Atlantic navigated the treacherous waters of public life, Weber's writing is both witty and erudite, and her book sheds new light on the uneasy intersection of fame and Victorian femininity.' Suzanne Raitt, College of William & Mary  '... provide[s] valuable insight into overlooked influences on nineteenth-century women’s writing, and the literary manoeuvres that these influences produce.' Times Literary Supplement  ’The more secure BrontÃ« and Austen and Alcott (among others) appear restored to their original contexts by this team of scholars. The timely and the timeless converge. Future harvesters of a swath of Anglophone women writers, some of them dazzling celebrities, will be able to glean from these books.’  Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies  ’Weber’s is an outstanding study. It is very well researched, with a wealth of new information and detail and also highly readable.’  Archiv fÃ¼r das Studium der Neueren Sprachen und Literaturen  'Weber’s expansive list of authors and texts contributes to a growing body of knowledge in nineteenth century studies which collapses the dichotomies of white/black, public/private, British/American and recreates a culture in which the circulation of famous women writers, their books, and their characters was much more dynamic than the gendered codes of fame allowed.' Wilkie Collins Journal  'Insightful and cogent ... Weber persuasively demonstrates how these Victorian writers' transatlantic cultural work transformed "the representation of famous women as 'unsexed'" into "the counter-representation of famous women [writers] as the epitome of womanhood".'

"[A]n impressive array of chapters written by world-renowned seabird ecologists and physiologists. … [A] well-written and relatively comprehensive review … ." - The Condor "...the book is very comparative in the subjects that it covers. Readers will be able to compare feeding behaviors, breeding biology, chick development, and many other subjects... The editors are to be commended for making a multiple author text work together so well. The writing is very readable and straightforward."-Library News for Zoos and Aquariums, September 2001 "The publishers make the rather strong claim that this book provides the only complete summary of information ever published about these specialized birds. Surprisingly, this statement appears correct. Major advances have been made in the study of marine birds in the last two or three decades. This book represents a timely and tremendously useful introduction to recent results, within a general context of evolution, ecology, physiology and conservation. … The essential character of this book is that it contains a wealth of information, nicely presented with good tables and graphs, and illustrated by numerous sketches by John Busby and others. Generally, the text is of very high quality. … this book is undoubtedly a considerable achievement. It seems to be aimed essentially at research biologists, though it will of interest to plenty of other people. It is a book for dipping into at intervals, with relish, rather than for reading cover to cover. And there is a great deal to dip into."-David Max, in Ibis, Vol. 144, 2002

From the reviews:

"Books on astrobiology and alien intelligence … are beginning to multiply rapidly. … Genta (mechanics, Politecnico di Torino, Italy) brings in a different dimension by adding the religious and philosophical aspects of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence in an excellent treatment that covers both sides of each issue. … He also offers a very interesting discussion on how biology and morphology relate to the possible evolution of intelligence. … For anyone interested in the search for extraterrestrial intelligences. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels." (P. R. Douville, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008)
"It has been a pleasure to read … this beautifully written book which begins with two brief but fascinating chapters on ‘The Historical and Philosophical Perspectives’ and ‘The Religious Perspective’ of extraterrestrial intelligence. … This highly intelligent and beautifully written book is highly recommended to all readers … ." (Fernande Grandjean and Gary J. Long, Physicalia Magazine, Vol. 30 (4), 2008)
"It first gives an account of our current scientific understanding of the origins of the Universe, Galaxy, Solar System, planets, Earth, Moon, and life on Earth. … It is a solemn, scholarly, and intensively serious book, carefully and very well-written in English. … Every reader, even those who are not especially enthused by the prospect of extraterrestrials, is likely to appreciate this splendid portrait of humankind’s cosmic origins and of how we fit into the grand scheme of existence." (Peter V. E. McClintock, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 50 (3), May-June, 2009)

"Professor Henriksen has written a superb book, arguably the most complete work we have on the challenges to American's security posed by rogue regimes. With North Korea, Iran and Syria before us, this book could not have been timelier. A rare mix of history and policy, shrewd judgments, thoughtful, and graceful writing into the bargain." - Fouad Ajami, 2006 National Humanities Medal recipient and author of The Dream Palace and The Foreigner's Gift

"In these cogent snapshots of key rogue states, Henriksen documents two alarming facts: rogue states act not because of what the United States does, but for reasons of their own, and because of Iraq the United States is unlikely to take effective action against these countries. These facts shape an increasingly dangerous future." - Henry Nau, professor of Political Science and International Affairs, the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University.

"A thorough historical treatment of the rise of rogue states and the reaction to them by the United States and others with a special focus on the last two decades. Professor Henriksen's book provides interesting insights into the motivations and objectives of players as different as Cuba and North Korea, Iran and Sudan. Recommended for those wanting to have a deeper knowledge of the rise and in some cases fall of these states a phenomenon which keeps leaders around the world preoccupied, irritated and attentive." - Thomas R. Pickering, Former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs.
