David Harrison shows how and why regulation of the financial markets has failed in the past - and explains how this　policy failure　can be corrected, by applying proper competition policy　principles to the sector in　the future. Like his previous book, The Organisation of Europe,　the analysis　is innovative, elegant　and thought-provoking. 

Anthony Teasdale (author, The Penguin Companion to European Union)

　
Harrison’s latest work is one of outstanding vision, clarity and concision. Drawing on Keynesian economics, and questioning the received wisdom that finance is self-correcting and efficient, Harrison explains how markets for financial services differ from markets for goods, what the defects specific to their operation are, and how these can be remedied by the application of competition law. In the process, Harrison outlines a plausible complement (or, perhaps, alternative) to dedicated financial markets regulation. Recommended, for experts and lay readers alike.　 
Phoebus Athanassiou (Senior Legal Counsel, European Central Bank, Frankfurt)

　
To borrow from Keynes, David Harrison has found a new way of looking at the banking sector’s ‘magneto trouble’. He applies relentless legal logic to a problem which caused the recent financial crisis and has yet to be resolved. As regulators amend their rule books and devise new bank resolution mechanisms, they will be well advised to pay attention to this important book’s recommendations. Thus may they pre-empt further turmoil, protect deposits and serve the public interest.

"This book successfully tackles a rather complicated and daunting subject, physiological psychology, and presents it in a more student-friendly form. This presentation promotes confidence and mastery of the material" (Doody's Review Service)
"This book will be best served by those within the field of psychology, notably undergraduate and graduate students. Additionally, professors of psychology, like myself, will find this book to be a quick reference and an occasional refresher or springboard for research. The authors bring with them a number of years of teaching physiological psychology, and it clearly shows." (Doody's Review Service)
"Pound for pound, one of the finer supplementary books available today. Well-written, easy-to-use, and a strong resource for students. Highly recommended!" (Doody's Review Service)

There are several software packages in wide use that make scientific computation and visualization easier to perform. However, the premise of Farin and Hansford is that without a basic understanding of the mathematics of a problem, the use of these packages could very well give unrecognized erroneous results. … There are numerous examples, and the exercises are designed to stimulate insight into the issues, rather than provide drill and practice. Mathematical Principles for Scientific Computing and Visualization is unique in its approach and written in an informal style … Highly recommended.—CHOICE, June 2009
… a non-traditional introduction to the math of scientific computation and comes packed with many examples to provide readers with the right tools for using the software packages behind the computations. College-level collections strong in software engineering, science, math or computers will find it an excellent technical pick.—California Bookwatch, February 2009

Russia and the Right to Self-Determination in the Post-Soviet Space

'This book is a major study by any reckoning. In analysing spatial mobility and the impact of electronic communication on a global scale the authors develop a penetrating account of the origins of the crisis of sustainability in world society. It is like reading J.G. Ballard, but with fact replacing fiction' —Professor Lord Anthony Giddens, London School of Economics, UK
'This world of ours here and now, the world of ‘mobile lives’, as Elliott and Urry aptly and pertinently call it, differs sharply from the one which those older among us wistfully or sorrowfully, but always vividly, remember from the not-that-distant past, while the young among us find difficult to comprehend, let alone imagine. Both generations find it equally difficult, even if for opposite reasons, to make sense of the new reality that engulfed their present life unaccompanied with a language fit to report their experience of being-in-it and to make sense of it in a way making suitable for mutual communication. Elliott and Urry make a gigantic step towards composition and codification of badly missing thus far grammar and vocabulary of such language; we all owe them deep gratitude for the enormous volume of research and thought necessary for that task, as daunting as it is urgent, to be performed' —Zygmunt Bauman, Professor Emeritus at the Universities of Leeds, UK, and Warsaw, Poland


'John Urry and Anthony Elliott are, respectively, first among leaders of sociology in the UK and Australia. Together, in Mobile Lives, they demonstrate just how strongly other-than-US Anglophone sociology has come to dominate the world of forward looking social thought'—Charles Lemert, the John E. Andrus Professor of Sociology, Wesleyan University, USA
'The book succeeds brilliantly in capturing the fluidity and lure of our deeply problematic contemporary mobilities. The costs and benefits of our mobile lives are revealed by the authors with an unusually sharp eye' —Professor Helga Nowotny, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
'Mobile Lives superbly captures the paradox of modern life. Just as we sit and surf the net, we travel to connect with others. This well-written, authoritative book shows how we're out of villages and into networks' —Barry Wellman, S.D. Clark Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto, Canada
'Overall, a deeply informed, challenging exploration of global networks, mobility, and new forms of individuation.' —Highly Recommended in CHOICE review by K. Tölölyan, Wesleyan University
'...written in an erudite but highly accessible style, providing rich description of twenty-first century mobile lives...this volume demonstrates the success of the authors' assertion that the mobilities paradigm can be extended to analyse the formation of identity and the experience of everyday life.'-Jo Whitehouse-Hart in Free Associations, No 62, Sept 2011
