Political Pluralism, Disagreement and Justice is a powerful and original defense of a polycentric political order. And it is an important contribution to a fresh approach to political philosophy, “New Diversity Theory,” according to which moral diversity is not moral reasoning gone awry, or a feature of free societies to be managed, but a fundamental moral phenomenon that can be a resource to discover better ways of living together. This book shows Julian Müller to be one of the young, innovative, thinkers who may well change the face of political philosophy. Gerald Gaus, University of Arizona, USAJulian Müller’s book is not only one of the best introductions and accounts of the increasingly influential literature on polycentric governance systems but also it is an important contribution to it, advancing in significant ways the frontier of our understanding of polycentric democracy in both the analytical-explanatory and the normative-applied directions. Paul Dragos Aligica, George Mason University, USAThis essay brings together problems from political theory with tools from epistemology and economics to provide a very astute tour de horizon of a great deal of scholarship whose individual elements often remain out of touch with one another. One of the themes of the work is that diversity of judgment is a tool and not merely a problem. Müller shows how bringing together a diversity of ideas and approaches can help us understand problems about diversity itself. FredD’Agostino, The University of Queensland, Australia

Key Readings in Journalism

"Hartmann widmet sich der in der deutschen Politikwissenschaft vernachlässigten Persönlichkeitsforschung von Politikern. Auf die prägnant-bündige theoretische Grundierung in der politischen Psychologie und in den biographischen Studien folgt ein Kriterienkatalog zur Betrachtung politischer Persönlichkeiten. Diese macht den Kern des Buches aus. [...] Wer sich ein genaueres Bild über die vorgestellten Staatsmänner machen möchte, ohne zu den meist umfänglichen biografischen Werken greifen zu müssen, ist mit der Lektüre dieses Buches gut bedient. Lesenswert ist insbesondere das Schlusskapitel, in dem Hartmann mehr differenzierende als verallgemeinernde Vergleiche der behandelten Persönlichkeiten vornimmt." www.zpol.de (Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft), 06.03.2008
"[...] eine lesenswerte Zusammenstellung unterschiedlicher Charaktere und ihrer individuellen Lebenswege. Ein Band, der der Politik mehr Persönlichkeit gibt." politik & kommunikation, 05/2008

"In this beautifully written ethnography, Sonja Plesset illustrates how gendered understandings impact people at multiple levels: in the inner workings of women's shelters, in the larger sociocultural context of Parma, and in the changing Italian legal system.  The insights that the author provides into the reasoning of wives who stay with abusive husbands and those who leave them, as well as into the abusive husbands themselves, makes for sometimes harrowing, but always enlightening reading."

"This newly updated and revised volume represents a truly important contribution to the professions of education, psychology, medicine, and even law. Its rich case examples serve as classroom exercises for enhancing critical thinking and teaching scientific research design for behavioral scientists. By debunking problematic treatments that lack empirical support and contradicting social media fads, these experts advocate for enhanced scientific approaches that could lead to the improvement of services for children with autism and intellectual disabilities and their families."
--Michael C. Roberts, PhD., ABPP, University of Kansas, USA
"Whenever conventional medical treatments fail to provide satisfactory outcomes, patients seek alternative treatments.　The field of intellectual disabilities is ripe for such alternatives, sometimes developed by well-intentioned health professionals and sometimes not. Foxx and Mulick and their chapter authors provide a thorough look at what is out there, where it came from, and the problems with many of these proposed treatments. This book should be in the office of anyone delivering care to individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities. It will help separate the wheat from the chaff in choosing treatments and in advising and counseling families seeking guidance."
--Daniel L. Coury, MD, Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at The Ohio State University, and Chief of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics at Nationwide Children's Hospital, USA

"In einer Zeit, in der allgemeine Theorien, besonders über Faschismus 'keine Konjunktur' haben, legt Saage einen empfehlenswerten Überblick vor. Bewußt verzichtet er auf den Titel Faschismustheorien und redet von Konzeptionen, bewußt bleibt er beim Begriff Faschismus. Dafür sprechen das Verständnis der Epoche, die Legitimation bis zur Rechtfertigung des Holocaust, die Beziehung der faschistischen Bewegungen, zwischen dem allgemeinen Begriff und der Empirie einzelner besteht eine fruchtbare Spannung. Saage begreift seine Darstellung als ideengeschichtlich vertiefte 'Paradigmenforschung'."
Das Historisch-Politische Buch, 05/2208 

"Was [...] an dem Autor - der gut bekannt ist aus seinen hochinteressanten Abhandlungen zur Utopieforschung - immer wieder beeindruckt, ist seine umfangreiche Literaturkenntnis und die ruhige Diktion der Wiedergabe seines profunden Wissens. Davon kann der Leser auf jeden Fall profitieren." 
AKP - Fachzeitschrift für Alternative Kommunal Politik, 02/2009

"Auf der ideologiekritischen Ebene der Forschung zum deutschen Faschismus [...] bietet das Buch einen guten und diskussionsanregenden Überblick." 
www.projekte.free.de/lotta/rezensionen.htm, 10.02.2009

"Der Hallenser Politikphilosoph und Utopieforscher Richard Saage ist in besonderem Maße prädestiniert, ein Lehrbuch zum Thema vorzulegen, war er doch einer der wenigen bedeutenden deutschen Sozialwissenschaftler, die - unbeeindruckt von konservativer Kritik - den faschismustheoretischen Ansatz bereits vor dem jüngsten Hoch in der internationalen Faschismusforschung verteidigten. So nimmt es auch nicht wunder, dass Saage mit seinem neuen Buch eine besonders tiefgehende und gut strukturierte Überblicksdarstellung liefert." 
PVS - Politische Vierteljahresschrift, 03/2008

Schmetterling und Taucherglocke

From the reviews:

"The volumes of Springer’s series ‘Topics in Geobiology’ bring together contributions from leading scientists in hot research fields investigating the interaction between Earth and life. … For university libraries. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (W. L. Cressler III, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (10), June, 2007)
"The emphasis on biology – whether geo or palaeo – is a heartening sign of the times … . So is the volume successful? In principal, absolutely. This is very much the kind of multidisciplinary approach that is necessary to appreciate when and how biology revolutionized the surficial Earth system, yielding our modern, uniformitarian world. … Its real value … lies in synthesis, and the focus it brings to one of the most fascinating intervals in Earth history." (N. J. Butterfield, Geological Magazine, Vol. 145 (3), 2008)
