"Peacekeeping, peacekeeping training and liberal democratic state-building are part of contemporary international relations. Anne Flaspöler masterfully unpicks elements of this system by investigating peacekeeping training centres in South Africa and Ghana as units of norm transfer and socialization of people, concepts, approaches and strategies. Flaspöler’s conceptually rich study in deconstructing the unintended effects of peacekeeping training in Africa identifies tensions between ‘top-down’ assumptions and approaches to peacekeeping and the ‘bottom up’ realities of some of today’s conflicts and conflict management initiatives - as well as the way elements of these issues synergise in training packages, trainers and participants. In doing so this book questions conceptual foundations of peacekeeping training and peacebuilding interventions suggesting a re-think of current approaches and expectations - and should be required reading for all interested and involved in peacekeeping and the training of peacekeepers." — Marco Jowell, Research Associate, Centre for African Studies, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK
"UN and African Union peacekeeping operations today are excruciatingly difficult - and will get more so. ‘Improved training’ has been offered up as the chief response to significant critiques of peacekeeping practices. Anne Flaspoeler shines a valuable bright light here on the actual conundrums facing peacekeeping training reformers." — Cynthia Enloe, Professor, Clark University, USA, author of Globalization and Militarism
"This book sheds a bright　light on the important but under-studied area of peacekeeping training. Peace operations have unique requirements and this book helps elucidate the necessity for　proper training and education. As Africa and the rest of the world comes to realize the special requirements for peacekeeping training, this book will help show the way." — Walter Dorn, Professor, Royal Military College & Canadian Forces College, Toronto, Canada
"An immensely original book, African Peacekeeping Training Centres provides a unique and clear-eyed analysis of how Africa prepares peacekeepers with the operational and managerial skills to work in increasingly complex environments and with a constantly widening mandate. I have rarely read a book which is likely to appeal to as wide a range of readers, from academics to practitioners, from students of peacekeeping and development to executive educators." — Khalid Koser, Professor of Conflict, Peace and Security, University of Maastricht, Netherlands and Executive Director, Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund, Geneva, Switzerland

"Rosenshield's compelling new book is important, because it demonstrates the maturation of the field of Russian-Jewish literary studies and forces the reader to look back and to look more carefully at Jewish images that may seem simply absurd or repellent. Given the current atmosphere in Russia, the experimentation by government and the populace with reinventing Russianness and the heightening of ethnic tensions, The Ridiculous Jew  seems particularly relevant."

“This book fills the urgent need of a concise but comprehensive source for critically important terminology in the field of biomedical engineering. I expect it to become an indispensable table reference for all biotechnology and bioengineering researchers, educators, and students.”—Anthony J McGoron, PhD, Professor at Florida International University, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Miami, Florida“This reference book is a ‘must have’ for all users in bioengineering and biotechnology. Simple to complex definitions and meanings are included in this book. The definitions of the terms are clear, concise, and understandable. Sometimes I felt I knew the definition of a certain word, but reading the term gave a clearer and more definite understanding to me. The author, Dr. Goyal, has done a phenomenal job making the definitions understandable.”—Professor Raj Bansal, Piscataway School, New Jersey; Private Consultant in English Language“This reference book is definitely appealing to the health sciences and engineering communities. It alleviates the drudgery to know the meaning of technical terms in bioengineering and biotechnology. I recommend it for every library and for educational institutes and government/private agencies who work in this area.”—Jesus M Roman-Velez, MD, Practicing Physician, Specialist in Internal Medicine and Pulmonary Mechanics, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico“The authors have diligently described the technical terms in bioengineering and biotechnology and have included a chapter on the timeline for these focus areas. They have also included selected illustrations to describe specific terms. The authors have done an extraordinary job of compiling the technical terms.”—Taranjit Singh, MD, DHMS., Private Practicing Family Physician, Near Telephone ExchangeDhuri, Punjab, India“Informative, user-friendly, and easy to read.

’Ma Haili brings meticulous research and her own professional experience to this study of Shanghai Yue opera production in its relation to tradition, urbanization, gender issues, business, marketing, and the changing ideology of the Chinese Communist Party. In doing so, she makes a major contribution not only to Chinese studies, but to cultural studies in general.’ Derek B. Scott, University of Leeds, UK  ’The relentless focus on contemporary media and culture in China studies has seriously overlooked the way older forms of culture are being re-invented for the present. This book makes a bold attempt to rectify this. Firmly locating Shanghai's Yueju opera in the dynamic metropolis of the New York of the East, this book takes us on an exhilarating journey through the Communist revolution, the cultural revolution and the great opening up of the late 1970s 'til the new millenium.’ Justin O’Connor, Monash University, Australia  ’This book eloquently argues that understanding the vicissitude of Shanghai Yueju opera is also grasping the CCP's struggle to survive in post-Mao China and to stay in power until today. Framing its critique in Bordieu's "capital forms" and their re-distribution in the era of marketization, this book's scholarly contribution crosses over the fields of cultural studies, social studies, Chinese studies, and performance studies.’ Siu Leung Li, Lingnan University, Hong Kong

"Tanvi Pate succeeds in convincing the reader about the importance of narrative. For example, she shows that we cannot understand the US nuclear foreign aid programme, which was dubbed ‘Atoms for Peace’, without placing it in the context of tropes about assisting democracies to achieve economic progress and global stability...Pate’s book has several thought-provoking and novel insights, such as the link between the Christian identity of the United States and the narrative of peace…". - Karthika Sasikumar, San Jose State University, San Jose, USA
