“The book makes a valuable contribution to the understanding of this rapidly growing form of reporting. The broad perspectives included in the book should make it useful on a global level for many groups, including regulators and standard-setting bodies, preparers of IRs, investors, assurers, and academics. … the editor has done an excellent job in bringing together a body of research exploring the emerging field of IR.” (Wendy Green, International Journal of Accounting, Vol. 52, 2017)

"At a time when social contracts globally need reinvention, my BSR colleague Matt Hirschland's book is an extremely welcome arrival. If we are to create the sustainable and just world we seek, we have much to gain from fostering the global public policy networks he describes.His book will undoubtedly make a lasting and valued contribution to the way we think about global governance gaps and more importantly, the way we shape solutions."
 - Aron Cramer, CEO, Business for Social Responsibility

"Corporate Social Responsibility and the Shaping of Global Public Policy refreshingly addresses the strengths and limits of contemporary corporate social responsibility (CSR) by describing in detail the rich networks that have grown up in the last decade to support and drive business sustainability.With his comprehensive and useful survey of the CSR landscape, Hirschland deepens our understanding of the concerns raised in business schools, board rooms, and management meetings about the scalability, desirability and impact of companies taking on daunting social and environmental challenges.This book should be mandatory reading for MBA students and aware business leaders alike." - Kellie McElhaney, Director, Center for Responsible Business, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley

"Hirschland offers a probing, lucid exploration of the most urgent global governance issue we face: In the 21st century, who will provide urgently needed public goods - human rights, environmental stewardship, transparency - and under what accountability mechanisms? The simple answer - government no longer suffices. Business and civil society are in ascendance in an increasingly complex landscape. Hirschland's rich insights are the basis for both understanding and hope."
 - Allen White, Senior Fellow, Tellus Institute and Co-founder of the Global Reporting Initiative

"Matthew Hirschland's Corporate Social Responsibility and the Shaping of Global Public Policy, is a fascinating book. In the context of the growing pressures of internationalization and globalization, many believe that the nation state is losing its ability to control huge multi-national corporations. The consequence, they fear, is that competitive pressures will force these companies to shirk their social, environmental, and public responsibilities. Hirschland demonstrates that even many of the world's top companies are worried about this 'tragedy of the commons.' Perhaps more surprisingly, he demonstrates that many of them are willing to do something about it. This book examines the ways in which multi-national corporations and non-governmental organizations are attempting (and not always succeeding) to shape, constrain and sometimes improve the world they increasingly dominate.This book should be required reading in Davos."

Social Enterprise in Emerging Markets is a wonderful contribution to the growing field of social enterprise, and paints a clear picture of the successes and lessons learned from the innovative leaders working in emerging markets. It is my hope that this book will add depth and perspective to the ongoing conversation around how best to support the social enterprise ecosystem and enable environments for success as we seek to address today's most pressing social issues." - Judith Rodin, President, The Rockefeller Foundation

"Social Enterprise in Emerging Markets provides an urgent, comprehensive insight into the deep, cross-sector collaborations, and difficult work early in the life of social enterprises, that are needed for the sector to flourish. It also reminds us of the incredible impacts that are at stake. With No Free Ride, there are No More Excuses." - Ben Thornley, Director, InSight at Pacific Community Ventures; Co-convenor, Impact Investing Policy Collaborative
"Well over a decade ago, I first learned of the seminal work NESsT was pioneering in Central Eastern Europe and South America. With Social Enterprise in Emerging Market Countries, the NESsT Team now brings lessons of leading social entrepreneurs and impact investors out of frontier markets and onto the global stage. This book speaks volumes regarding lessons we each may learn from the deep experience of one of the field's leading impact practitioners." - Jed Emerson, Founding Director, REDF; Chief Impact Strategist, ImpactAssets

“It aims to synthesize social construction approaches to aging with those of economics and social gerontology. … The book is intelligently written and contains many thought-provoking tables and diagrams.” (L. Mack, Population and Development Review, Vol. 42 (1), March, 2016)"After all the complaints that ageing populations will create an economic burden, Klimczuk's concept of creative ageing policy brings fresh air to the discussion. It is time to explore all the resources that ageing people can provide to local and national economies with their consuming, competencies, experiences, and volunteering. Longevity brings new cohorts of active and fit older people seeking meaningful roles for the betterment of the world." - Vappu Taipale, Professor and Honorary President, International Society for Gerontechnology; Chair, Union for Senior Services, Finland

"This book provides a timely discussion of policies to promote the creative, cultural, and social capital of older persons. The originality and significance of the project lie in its discussion of positive solutions, and their implementation, to challenges associated with population ageing." - Steven Prus, Associate Professor, Carleton University, Canada

'... the strength of this book lies in its ability to communicate important ideas from media studies to a broad audience of scholars interested in media discourse... Television and Terror effectively describes how television news, through the mediatization of events, works to constitute the social reality in which we live... In particular, it provides fodder for the argument that television can itself be hijacked as a weapon of terror as television news increasingly mediatizes events that take place in today's world.'

“This book is a great repository of state of the art knowledge. It is a handbook for looking-up concepts, derivations and mathematical methodologies currently developed and employed in the field of musical acoustics. … This book is a handbook and a great reference for researchers and PhD level graduate students … . This book will definitely become a classic like the one by Fletcher and Rossing … .” (Wilfried Kausel, Euracoustics.org, April, 2017)“Antoine Chaigne and Jean Kergomard have applied mathematical rigor with comprehensive scope, and the result is remarkable. … The text and math are lucid throughout and should be easily understood by readers with a basic grasp of mechanics. The authors are justified in recommending the book to ‘students at master’s and doctorate levels [and] researchers, engineers and other physicists with a strong interest in music’–each of those groups will find the information they need in Acoustics of Musical Instruments.” (Barry Greenhut, Physics Today, April, 2017)“Each author has extensive research experience, a publication record of note, familiarity with the literature, and interaction with French and international colleagues. … Acoustics of Musical Instruments provides a quantitative analysis of many instruments found in the classical repertoire. The text will be of use to players, including students and instructors, and those concerned with the physical production of sound from these instruments, including makers of real and simulated instruments.” (William Strong, Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, Vol. 65 (1-2), January, 2017)

Gesellschaftskritik im Märchen-Roman "Momo" von Michael Ende. Ästhetische Inszenierung der Kritik am klassischen Neoliberalismus

"In this excellent and unique cocktail book, Muldoon and McGarry, founders of New York City&rsquo;s Dead Rabbit lounge (along with Vose, their bar manager), offer the establishment&rsquo;s complete menu&mdash;a six-part, serialized graphic novel, with an additional 100 intricate craft cocktails. The darkly drawn protagonist, known as the Rabbit, is a &ldquo;hybrid man-rabbit anti-hero&rdquo; with a sinewy human torso and scary bunny head. Channeling John Morrissey, the leader of the 1850s Irish gang, the Dead Rabbits, but lurking in the shadows of Hell&rsquo;s Kitchen, circa 1978, he drinks, gambles, and settles scores with a ruthless vengeance&hellip; [a]&#160;one-of-a-kind collection."&nbsp;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;The Dead Rabbit doesn&rsquo;t do drinks lists, it builds worlds in which its cocktails exist. With Mixology & Mayhem, the team kicks open the doors to its creative process&mdash;and lets us travel deep into its award-winning comic book menus. Cocktail books have never been this fun, this daring or this outrageous. But then, this is far more than a cocktail book. Mixology & Mayhem is a Dead Rabbit cocktail book.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;Hamish Smith, Deputy Editor of Drinks International, Editor of CLASS magazine&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; &ldquo;Yes, this is a book with cocktail recipes. But no way is it simply a cocktail recipe book. With its insights into the background of the bar, invaluable tips on how to create a cocktail menu and specs for some of the most popular drinks from their multi-award-winning menus, it&rsquo;s a must-have for every bartender. Like everything&#160;this crew turn their hands to, it&rsquo;s ballsy, no-nonsense&mdash;and absolutely awesome.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;Sandrae Lawrence and Gary Sharpen, The Cocktail Lovers&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; &ldquo;The last decade has seen cocktail books published by some of the most talented figures in the bar world. Many of these books contain excellent recipes. But Mixology & Mayhem goes far beyond excellent recipes. As you read this book, you&#39;ll quickly see that the team spends as much time (if not more) investigating and evolving the menu concept as creating their world-class drinks. Painstaking research, ridiculous levels of hard work and extreme amounts of talent are the reason these menus and the bar itself have deservedly won so many awards. The Dead Rabbit is the most perfectly realized bar concept since Trader Vic&rsquo;s, and there&rsquo;s something valuable in this book for everyone in our industry to learn.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;Nick Strangeway, Global Cocktail Authority
