&diams; What are questions, and what are they good for? On a beach, in a garden, visiting a museum, sitting in class with the president of the United States (a woman of color, as it happens), and elsewhere a racially diverse and compulsively inquisitive group of children demonstrate the ins and outs of productive questioning: "Are you the new teacher?" "Is this a veggie burger?" "Do you know if walruses have ears?" "Where do you park Air Force One?" Sayre describes how speakers use words such as "who" or "where" plus intonation to formulate questions in English (with a brief excursion into Spanish: "Where is the gerbil?" "&iquest;D&oacute;nde est&aacute; el jerbo?"). In explaining that questions can express curiosity or care for others as well as simply act as requests for information, she also points out situational subtleties: "Did you burp, Madam President?" can be discomfiting in some contexts, for instance, but appropriate in, say, the course of a medical exam. She also suggests that "How" questions can "ask in a gentle way about feelings, tender topics, and complicated subjects," and that it's OK to make mistakes in the course of learning what works and when. Younger audiences, hard-wired to start asking questions from an early age, at last have a toolbox for formulating more and better ones. "So be brave," the author concludes. "Be bold. Ask questions!" Funny, thoughtful, and rewarding to read, no question. &mdash; Kirkus Reviews, starred review

&ldquo;Marjorie Kelly inspired the B Corp movement with The Divine Right of Capital; now she and Ted Howard have pointed the way toward what's next. The Making of a Democratic Economy is a must-read. I am blown away by this book.&rdquo;  &mdash;Jay Coen Gilbert, cofounder of B Lab, the nonprofit behind the B Corporation movement &#160; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not enough to imagine another world is possible, we need to feel and taste it. Kelly and Howard give us the concrete stories we need to truly believe in this new world.&rdquo; &mdash;Naomi Klein, author of No Is Not Enough, This Changes Everything, and No Logo &#160; &#160; &ldquo;This book is a timely and important reminder of the urgent need to democratize our economy. The experiments it discusses provide inspiration and food for thought for activists and policymakers alike.&rdquo; &mdash;John McDonnell, MP, UK Shadow Chancellor, Labour Party &#160; &ldquo;An insightful, moving, energizing book, just what America needs now more than ever. Kelly and Howard enable us to see that indeed there is life&mdash;good life&mdash;beyond our brutal form of capitalism, and it is already emerging. Bravo!&rdquo; &mdash;Frances Moore Lapp&eacute;, author Diet for a Small Planet and coauthor of Daring Democracy &#160; &ldquo;In the face of our climate crisis, dangerous levels of social inequity, and the loss of unimaginable biodiversity comes The Making of a Democratic Economy, a critically important book of hope, possibility, and solutions. Thorough, thoughtful, and full of essential insights, this timely guide is a must-read for all concerned about a better future.&rdquo; &mdash;Jeffrey Hollender, cofounder of Seventh Generation and Board Chair, American Sustainable Business Council &#160; &ldquo;Kelly and Howard offer the insight that our democratic principles and our economic vitality don&rsquo;t need to be in constant contradiction. For the future health of our planet and its citizens, we need to democratize our market-driven economy by creating ownership structures that, by their very nature, lead to more sustainable, generative outcomes. This powerful book shines a light on the practical paths so many are searching for today.&rdquo; &mdash;Dan Wolf, CEO, Cape Air, and former Massachusetts State Senator &#160; &ldquo;We call The Laura Flanders Show the place where &lsquo;the people who say it can&rsquo;t be done take a backseat to the people who are doing it.&rsquo; Howard and Kelly bring us dispatches from places like that all across the United States, where people are democratizing the economy and shifting power. This important survey, from two who have been instrumental to much of this work, paints a picture not simply of a mosaic of experiments but of a newly emerging system that lies within our reach. Can we change our culture to cherish people over capital?&#160;It won&rsquo;t be easy, but it can be done. We need deep long-term thinking and immediate action steps. Lucky for us, this deeply considered book offers both.&rdquo; &mdash;Laura Flanders, Host and Executive Producer, The Laura Flanders Show &#160; &ldquo;Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard remind us that it&rsquo;s not enough to fight against an unjust and unsustainable system&mdash;we also have to have a vision for the system we want instead and a plan for building it. The stories they tell in&#160;The Making of a Democratic Economy lift up the hard and vital work of the people creating the institutions of the next economy.&rdquo;  &mdash;Kat Taylor, cofounder and CEO, Beneficial State Bank &#160; &ldquo;As champions of worker and community ownership, Kelly and Howard remind us that economic democracy is essential to political democracy and a viable human future.&rdquo;  &mdash;David Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Change the Story, Change the Future &#160;  &ldquo;This book offers a practical path of radical hope for system change. Models like those here are being copied across the world. Scores of the ideas here make clear sense, like having the Federal Reserve bail out the planet the same way it bailed out the big banks. If you&rsquo;re looking for a mix of mind-expanding vision with ideas and models that are working and ready to be tried in your town, this book is for you.&rdquo;  &mdash;Kevin Jones, cofounder of Social Capital Markets and The Transform Series&#160; &#160; &ldquo;This is an important book. It builds on growing recognition that systemic transformation is needed, providing a road map to understanding that democracy is at the core of building flourishing economies&#160;needed for a flourishing future. We all need to deeply learn from the many examples and lessons of this book and work together to create whole systems change.&#160;The Making of a Democratic Economy&#160;provides an invaluable guide to how that can happen.&rdquo; &mdash;Sandra Waddock, Galligan Chair of Strategy, Boston College &#160; &ldquo;Marjorie Kelly&mdash;a huge influence for me as an impact investor and activist&mdash;has given us another gem, on the critical need for democracy not just in our political system but in our economy.&rdquo;  &mdash;Morgan Simon, Founding Partner, Candide Group, and author of Real Impact &#160; &ldquo;The call for an economy that works for all is heard in Washington and even on Wall Street&mdash;but how will the change take place? Marjorie and Ted offer a map. They share stories of a different kind of enterprise&mdash;one that puts the human interest at the heart of success. These community-based enterprises are not only hopeful but replicable&mdash;they illuminate the design for an economy that honors our democratic ideals.&rdquo;  &mdash;Judith Samuelson, Executive Director, Business and Society Program, The Aspen Institute  &#160; &ldquo;Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard have given us the road map toward economic democracy. But they don&rsquo;t just show the interstates and the major landmarks&mdash;they show the byways and small towns where real change comes from. In this moment when greater and greater numbers of people are realizing that the rules of capitalism must be rewritten, the stories in these pages, and the strategies that Kelly and Howard share, will guide our way forward.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Lenore Palladino, Assistant Professor of Economics and Public Policy, University of Massachusetts Amherst; former Vice President for Policy & Campaigns, Demos; and former Campaign Director, MoveOn.org

"Role Theory in the Middle East and North Africa is a fascinating and also rigorous journey through policy analysis in the new millennium. With role theory providing structure, we learn a great deal about the foreign policies of important states in the Middle East and North Africa. This study sets a very high bar for future research. It is essential reading for those with both academic and policy-related interests in contemporary foreign policy." — Patrick James, Dornsife Dean’s Professor, School of International Relations, USC
"Akbaba and Ozdamar offer a fresh and insightful analysis of how changing national role conceptions in the wake of the Arab Uprising have shaped the foreign policies of Egypt, Iran, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. This ambitious work is a welcome contribution to the subfield of Foreign Policy Analysis, especially given its examination of faith-based ideational sources of national roles." — Valerie M. Hudson, Texas A&M University
"This important book mines religion as a previously unexplored cultural source of national roles in world politics. Akbaba and Ozdamar use the concept of national role conceptions to reveal how religious differences regarding Islam shape national roles and thereby influence foreign policy actions of MENA states across their respective geopolitical positions. They also employ role theory to compare MENA responses to the Arab Spring and the Syrian Civil War. The results rest on the analysis of public statements by MENA leaders and evidence from regional specialists." — Stephen G. Walker, Arizona State University
"This study provides interest new applications of role theory to foreign policy analysis. Examining Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, an Egypt during and after the "Arab spring," the authors emphasize the consistency between role conceptions and actions, as well as the ideational and material sources of those role conceptions. The volume is of interest both to area experts and to those who employ the role concept in foreign policy analysis." — Kal Holsti, University Killam Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia

'Re-Viewing Thomas Holcroft is a valuable contribution to the study of literature of the 1790s... the organization of the collection is thoughtful and provocative, suggesting connections - between genres or between Holcroft’s work and his life - that might otherwise pass unnoticed. The essays are excellent; they provide readers with a model for thinking not only about Holcroft’s work but also about other writers who, like Holcroft, may not receive adequate critical attention.'  Restoration and Eighteenth Century Theatre Research  'This strong collection of essays, which displays great range and sensitivity, is a key text in Holcroft studies. It will appeal to any scholar of labouring class writing; political philosophy of the 1790s; the Georgian theatre; life-writing; the novel; and poetry of the long eighteenth century.'  Review of English Studies  '... this is a long overdue and very welcome contribution to eighteenth-century studies.' Modern Language Review
