"The volume is a refreshing departure from the well-worn paths followed in many discussions of distributive justice since Rawls. While not neglecting standard arguments, the contributors provide a much broader, and welcome, perspective on fair shares, including views of justice from Southern Africa, discussions of less familiar figures in this context, for example, Herbert Spencer and Johann Fichte, and less familiar topics, such as the importance of territory in global distributive justice."—Carole Pateman, University of California, Los Angeles 
"This book is a thoroughly welcome addition to a burgeoning literature on distributive justice. Boisen and Murray have assembled an impressive group of contributors, with wide but mutually supportive interests. Together they highlight the crucial role that discussions of classic issues in history of political thought have had in framing debate in our contemporary (global) context. European, Anglo-American and African perspectives are brought to bear on issues that must concern us in a deeply unequal world. The book is sure to spark interest and debate among students, activists and academics with interests in distributive justice."—Bruce Haddock, Cardiff University, UK

"Keith Richardson has an obvious gift for conveying difficult ideas in a reader-friendly fashion....This is a very important and timely contribution to theory-building in developmental psychology at both undergraduate and graduate level."&#8212;Brian HopkinsLancaster University"Authoritative in his approach, the author has a strong grasp of a wide range of theories and research, and I found his treatment of them to be clear, coherent and consistent. It is a text which...will be accessible to second and third year students, and immensely helpful to them for its presentation of a perspective which is not always easily grasped at this level, but which, in one way or another, informs much recent work in developmental psychology."&#8212;Gerard DuveenUniversity of Cambridge

"Anna Furse presents a fascinating piece of theatre in which she uses a stylised form to explore factual content." - Time Out"...one of the most important plays in the new feminist theatre of hysteria. Anna Furse draws on the history of phychiatry to produce innovative performance that is also a critique of the psychoanalytic appropriation of women. Augustine is set in the Paris clinic of Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot. From 1882 to the year of his death in 1893, Charcot was the impresario of a group of `hysterical' women who become known, as stars, queens, and divas." - From Elaine Showalter's introduction"...a winner...unnervingly in tune with modern feeling." - The Times

Augustine (Big Hysteria)

“Jonathan Edwards predicates his argument in Religious Affections on the distinction between affections and passions. Contemporary writers who think only in terms of emotions typically fail to grasp the significance of this distinction, consequently losing much of Edwards’s argument. Ryan Martin has done superior work in tracing the history of this distinction and teasing out its significance for Edwards. His work constitutes an important corrective to several current misconceptions.”

"The Arguments of Aquinas is a really good book. It deserves to be studied by anybody wanting to learn about the philosophical thought of Aquinas from someone who can both expound and reflect on him in a way that contemporary philosophers (analytical ones, anyway) might be able to appreciate."

Masoud Alamuti’s highly original study of globalization is remarkable for its breadth of vision and for its skilful integration of sociological theory and normative argument. His controversial thesis that critical rationalism can lead us to an open global society that is both peaceful and just is a much-needed antidote to the pessimism that globalization so often attracts. Peter Jones, Emeritus Professor of Political Philosophy, Newcastle University, UK.
This important book boldly blends critical rationalism with social theory to arrive at a powerful defense of openness to individual and collective learning as a key to conceiving and devising a just order for the emergent global society. One can only hope that readers will resist any temptations to dismiss Masoud Alamuti’s ideas as overly idealistic or unrealistic. If they do, they can benefit enormously from an author who challenges us to reconsider long-standing, but increasingly anachronistic and/or normatively dubious understandings of society, national sovereignty, and tolerance. Another virtue of his book is that it goes beyond critiquing the existing order of interstate-relations, outlining the contours of an admittedly radical, yet arguably more humane alternative. I highly recommend this timely, thought-provoking contribution to an evolving debate. Volker H. Schmidt, Professor of Sociology, National University of Singapore.

'This is a provocative and ambitious piece of work that is driven by an unapologetic desire to interrogate assumptions about the common placed infantilisation of Intellectually Disabled adults, particularly those with Down Syndrome, and especially when it comes to genital sex. A stand out strength of this book are the thought provoking and honest narratives that Foley has elicited from his participants; mostly mothers. Furthermore, we hear his voice throughout, as both a researcher pushing the boundaries from the ‘inside’ and as a sibling of an adult sister who has Down Syndrome. His positionality is explicit and forms a nuanced part of the framework. This book will certainly open the debate and prompt a discussion.' - Dr Chrissie Rogers, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Aston University

`Elusive Development is an ambitious, exhiliarating attempt to persuade academics and policy makers alike "that meaningful development, whether under socialism or under progressive nationalism, will remain elusive, unless it is sustained by a number of critical and though preprquisites. ... In an era of cascading capitalism, Yusif Sayigh offers a welcome alternative vision for the future.' - International Journal of Middle East Studies Vol 25:2`This is a welcome addition to the literature on economic development...it makes for very interesting and relevant reading in pursuit of the answer.' - The Economic Journal`Sayigh's study certainly contains some thought-provoking statements on the dependency paradigm and the possibilities of collective, self-reliance in the Arab World.' - Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie

'Independent Filmmaking in South East Asia is a timely exploration of independent filmmaking away from hegemonic centres of production. These authentic voices from the diverse cultures of South East Asia, expertly captured by Dr Nico Meissner, reveal exciting new entrepreneurial and filmmaking practices that give us hope for the plurality and wellbeing of World Cinema.'

Erik Knudsen is a filmmaker and academic. He is Professor of Media Practice and Faculty Director of Research in the Faculty of Culture and Creative Industries at the University of Central Lancashire, UK.
'An inspiring book with pragmatic advice for filmmakers and rare insights for film programmers, policymakers and movie goers. Highly recommended for cinema students and faculty. Wherever you live, Nico Meissner’s interviews with 27 South East Asian filmmakers will convince you that while talent is important, patience and perseverance are the keys to success. '
