Masters of the Universe: Revolution

'Andrew Lemieux once said to me that animals don't vote. That is why it falls to those who care about the diversity of the animal population and the future of this planet to prevent the crimes that are so well documented in this book. To ignore its content and the exciting, preventative ideas that are offered is to do a huge disservice to our children. I recommend the book as an inspiring publication, which I hope will lay the foundation for more to come.' - Gloria Laycock, Professor of Crime Science, University College London, UK
'Poaching is a crime with global and historical repercussions. This important and timely book, written by some of the most influential scholars in the field, fills a critical void in the criminology and crime prevention literature.' - D. Kim Rossmo, School of Criminal Justice, Texas State University, USA
'Andrew Lemieux’s Situational Prevention of Poaching is a marvellous book. Its internationally respected contributors go far beyond lamenting the impact of poaching on our wildlife. They show with rigorous research why this is happening, and as important, they show how practical steps can be taken to stop it. Anyone – wildlife manager, conservation official, policy maker, researcher, student, or informed citizen – concerned with the protection of wildlife must read this book.' - John E. Eck, Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University of Cincinnati, USA
‘This volume represents the first step in establishing the criminology of poaching and its prevention. It is remarkable for its multi-faceted treatment- including various actors, diverse disciplinary approaches, and a range of poaching operations- of an important but neglected problem. This work will be influential for many years.'- Michael Townsley, Senior Lecturer, School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Griffith University, Australia

Situational Prevention of Poaching

Bevis's editorial work combines rigour with play ... [he] gives us a book which is united by its refusal to conform to any one pattern or mould ... The essays [on form] ... are full of flair and reflexive comedy ... The section on 'Literary Landscapes' impresses with its originality and strength ... Bevis's volume is particularly strong for the way in which it unsettles chronological and generic boundaries ... The final section on 'The Place of Poetry' offers
intriguing collisions ... Perhaps the greatest pleasure of this book is the editor's resistance to simplification ... The Handbook can act as a useful scholarly touchstone, but it is much more than this.

'This remarkable book sets out the theories of international trade of no fewer than eleven schools of thought, from mercantilism to feminism, taking in Ricardo, Marx, Veblen, Hayek, Keynes, Krugman and many others on the way. It is an outstanding example of what can be achieved by taking a pluralist approach to economic theory, and it should be read by anyone with the slightest interest in international economics.' — John E. King La Trobe University and Federation University Australia
‘Theories of International Economics offers a masterly and comprehensive guide in clear and accessible terms. It's quite a journey - from mercantilism to feminism - but in contrast with other surveys Lichtenstein keeps past histories and global diversities well in mind. In that way his book is balanced, critical and highly recommended.’ — Terrell Carver, Professor of Political Theory, University of Bristol, UK
‘This text is a rare gem. It has everything you need: historical context, thorough coverage of contemporary issues, careful treatment of orthodox and heterodox approaches and lucid prose throughout.’ — William M. Dugger, Professor of Economics, The University of Tulsa, USA
'This is just the type of pluralist textbook that is now increasingly in demand. Peter Lichtenstein offers an admirably broad-ranging account of several different approaches to international economics, building on an account of the history of thought in this area and of the real economic context. The text will be welcome, not only to students seeking an accessible pluralist text, but also to the general reader.' — Sheila Dow, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Stirling and Adjunct Professor of Economics at the University of Victoria, UK
‘The financial crisis has given support to the suspicion that economic orthodoxy has become stagnant and irrelevant. Lichtenstein’s book offers a unique and sorely-needed alternative that not only does a marvelous job in capturing the essence of mainstream and heterodox theory, but in a manner that is clear and set in the relevant historical, institutional, and social context. It should be on every pluralist's bookshelf.’ — John T. Harvey, Professor of Economics, Texas Christian University, USA

‘Wai Yip Ho skilfully presents a wealth of information on a subject that is little-known but will become increasingly important. Reviewing the many aspects of Muslim life in Hong Kong, he provides a rich and sensitive ethnography of the South Asian, Southeast Asian and Chinese Hui communities there. In a marvellously grounded way, Islam and China’s Hong Kong is instructive of the ways in which traditional institutions such as Islamic schooling and new media such as Islamic websites adapt to local realities while remaining attached to broader pan-Islamic concerns. For anyone interested in modern Islam or Asia, this work is essential for considering a future where Hong Kong’s Muslim minority can serve as a valuable interlocutor between the Asian superpower and the Muslim world.’ - James Piscatori, Professor of International Relations, Head of the School of Government and International Affairs, Durham University, Co-author of Muslim Politics 

'This book tells a fascinating story of the historical emergence of Islam in Hong Kong and how this Hong Kong Islam is transforming itself into a new Islam hub linking Middle East and Far East. Researchers and students who are interested in Hong Kong, China, Islamic Studies, and Globalization should find this book indispensable." - Alvin Y. So, Chair Professor of Social Science, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Co-editor of Handbook of Contemporary China



‘Wai-Yip Ho’s Islam and China’s Hong Kong, based on more than a decade of ongoing research among Hong Kong’s three major Muslim groups (Hui immigrants from other regions of China, South Asians originally settled by the British, and more recent Indonesian women domestic workers), masterfully combines illuminating ethnographic insights into the history and cultural particularities of each group with his guiding focus on those wider Chinese and global developments—at once economic, political, and cultural—that are distinctively shaping the lives of these communities today. His insightful, multi-faceted analysis highlights the ongoing role of Hong Kong as a unique bridge between China and wider global developments (such as Middle Eastern finance, or massive economic emigration), and as a revealing test-case for tackling the political and social challenges of increasingly multi-cultural polities, while memorably portraying the creative individual and local communal responses of Hong Kong’s Muslims to those broader transformations.’ - James W. Morris, Professor of Islamic Studies, Boston College, Author of Orientations: Islamic Thought in a World Civilisation
"Islam and China's Hong Kong is an academic text with a great many citations, statistics and records of interviews." - Peter Gordon; The Asian Review of Books 2013.
