"While most studies have focused on the novelty of the AKP's ideological stance, [...] Kumbaracibasi seeks to explain the AKP's electoral success almost exclusively in terms of its institutionalization and leadership strategies. This approach brings a new perspective to the mater and is refreshingly neutral, in contrast to the highly opinionated approaches that tend to dominate the field." - Alev Cinar, International Journal of Middle East Studies, 43:3, August 2011
"Arda Can Kumbaracibasi’s Turkish Politics and the Rise of the AKP: Dilemmas of Institutionalization and Leadership Strategy is recommended for scholars of Turkish politics who are specifically studying the political party system in Turkey and who think that its radical transformation is an urgent." - Cemil Boyraz, Turkish Studies, 2010 
"The book is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature not only on Turkish politics in general but also, in particular, on Turkish party politics...the research has relied both on extensive documentary research and in-depth conversations with major Turkish political figures. The author must be complimented for the exceptionally rich bibliography he has consulted...the book is mandatory reading for students of Turkish politics. It is also highly recommended for students of party politics for it is rare that a political party is born and rises to rule in such a short time." - Ilter Turan, Istanbul Bilgi University, Party Politics, November 2010

"Abdul-Raof has given us a useful textbook on rhetoric and comparative linguistics for non-natives learning Arabic as a foreign language. Moreover, he has offered a historical and pedagogic masterpiece, which will be of special significance for students and researchers in Arabic literature, particularly those interested in applying or appreciating the analytical tools of Arabic rhetorical schemata in regard to the oral and written modes of the Arabic literary experience and tradition." - Amidu Olalekan Sanni, Lagos State University, Lagos, Nigeria; Middle Eastern Literatures, Vol. 15, No. 1, April 2012

'It is an excellent advocate for both reference publishing and for the belief system it represents.' - Reference Reviews
'This work is a crucial source for specialists... Highly recommended.' --G.J. Reece, American University, Choice
'It's English-lanuguage approach acknowledges the global impact Buddism has had in recent decades, so it is an excellent advocate for both reference publishing and for the belief system it represents. An extensive list of further reading at the end provides a good basis for research. There is also a comprehensive analytical index' -- Reference Reviews
I highly recommend Encyclopedia of Buddhism for purchase by university and seminary libraries. This encyclopedia would be very useful both to those with little or no knowledge of Buddhism and to those who know more about the religion. This book comes as close as possible to meeting its aim of providing an all-encompassing single-volume reference source. -- Christine Pesche, Theological Librarianship

"Ken Gilhooly has been highly influential in the study of thinking, from his early research on concept learning and hypothesis testing right up to his recent work on creativity and insight problem solving. His research has been driven by a consistent underpinning theme, which is to understand people’s thinking strategies and the ways in which they are adapted to the constraints of working memory. This book conveys many important findings relating to this theme that have had a major impact in defining the current theoretical landscape." - Linden J. Ball, Department of Psychology, University of Central Lancashire, UK
"Kenneth Gilhooly has made a substantial contribution to the field of thinking and reasoning throughout his distinguished career, and this book gathers together many of his most fascinating and significant works. The breadth of theoretical and applied problems addressed by his research is truly impressive. This collection is essential reading for anyone interested in what helps or hinders how we think and reason about the world." – David Pearson, Department of Psychology, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK
"Kenneth Gilhooly’s erudition, his first-hand experience of the development of modern cognitive psychology following the ‘cognitive revolution’, and his extensive research contributions on topics relating to thinking, including problem solving, working memory, expertise, the effects of aging on cognition, insight, incubation and creative cognition, make this collection of his papers an important read." – Paul Sowden, School of Psychology, University of Surrey, UK

Jeremy Benthamâ€™s panopticon was a revolutionary prison designed for its inmates to be observed by a central (but himself unseen) observerâ€”a post for which the eminent philosopher, who hoped to reform as well as incarcerate prisoners, volunteered his own servicesâ€”and the panopticon remains the central image of the expanding and indeed exploding subject of surveillance studies. Closed circuit television coverage makes us all subject to the gaze of the unseen observer, and the computers and mobile telephones at our disposal create further possibilities for surveillance.Should those possibilities be ignored, resisted, or analyzed and assessed in terms of their full implications? First, they to be made evident;and that is what this volume helps to do. David Lyon, a Canadian academic who has written widely on the implications of the development of the â€˜surveillance societyâ€™, points to a conundrum:â€˜the more stringent and rigorous the panoptic regime, the more it generates active resistance, whereas the more soft and subtle the panoptic strategies, the more it produces the desired docile bodies.â€™This book considers a range of panoptic and post-panoptic devices, ranging from the maximum security prison to the self-imposed surveillance of â€˜continuing professional developmentâ€™ in the medical profession, in order to explore the implications of the surveillance society in greater depth.The result of an academic conference in Canada, it brings together an extraordinary range of ideas and is an absorbing if not an easy read.

“In the past quarter century, the United Nations, the United States and other world powers have embarked on a range of ambitious humanitarian interventions designed to promote peace, reconciliation and recovery in societies mired in civil conflict.  The overall success of these efforts has been modest, with setbacks resulting from a failure of policy-makers to appreciate and understand the role of political culture in the ambitious task of "nation-building."  Political Culture and the Making of Modern Nation-States  affirms the importance of that role through a rich and highly engaging exploration of the relationships between culture, governance and legitimacy.  It offers critical lessons for practitioners, as well as extremely valuable perspectives for students and scholars.”
—Eric P. Schwartz, Dean, Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota


“Weisband and Thomas have written a book that is conceptually profound, empirically rich and broad in its implications. . . .They explore the dynamics of identity construction and examine their political consequences across a range of cases.  En route, they unpack the concept of culture, show its transformation in the modern world, offer two enlightening case studies of genocide, and one of post 9/11 nation building.”
—Richard Ned Lebow, King's College London, University of Cambridge, and Dartmouth College Emeritus

Political Culture and the Making of Modern Nation-States

“An often profound, sometimes melancholic, and always elegant meditation on classical social theory, which is defined, according to Lemert, by its courageous and insistent effort to comprehend the irrationality that has threatened modern humankind.”
—Jeffrey C. Alexander, Yale University

“Charles Lemert has already given sociologists great books that have profoundly changed how we teach social theory. He has done it again. With Thinking the Unthinkable he offers a concise but rich review of the riddles that engaged classical social theorists and which confront us still today. The reader is introduced to a diverse group of classical social theorists, given a sense of the expanse of their thought and a taste of their writings. There even is a glossary of the most important of their concepts. Just right for the classroom. Just right for these times.”
—Patricia Ticineto Clough, Queens College and The Graduate Center - CUNY

“Vintage Lemert. There is sophistication underlying his literary flair for down to earth writing. This book is an erudite and engaging meditation on the lessons Lemert has derived from his sustained engagement with a diverse array of writers who have changed how we think about social things.”
—Peter Kivisto, Augustana College
