From the reviews:“The Psychology of Global Mobility, was to assemble an international, multidisciplinary group of experts who could begin to quantify the psychological burden involved in human mobility, examine its benefits and disadvantages from the perspective of the person and the country, and provide an understanding of the drive for and result of global mobility. … Appropriate for both an academic and a practitioner audience … I would recommend as a text for a comprehensive discussion of geographic and virtual mobility for psychologists sociologists … .” (Judy E. Hall, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 55 (32), December, 2010)

'I can think of no better individual than Graham Pearson to write an authoritative account of the search for WMD in Iraq...in order to identify relevant conclusions relating to inspection, verification and non-proliferation of such weapons.' - From the Foreword by Charles A. Duelfer, Special Advisor of Strategy Regarding Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction

'Graham Pearson has applied his great skill, discipline and experience as a scientist in examining the search for WMD in Iraq. No book on the subject so far has greater depth, detail and documentation. His conclusions will be valuable not only when we judge the inspections in Iraq but also when we discuss how verification should be designed to best serve current and future arms control regimes.' - Dr. Hans Blix, Executive Chairman UNMOVIC 2000-03, Director General Emeritus IAEA

'This volume will be the definitive source on the efforts to find these weapons and the lessons for inspection, verification and non-proliferation will be vital for strengthening the international regimes totally prohibiting chemical and biological weapons in the 21st Century.' - Professor Joshua Lederberg, Nobel Laureate, President Emeritus, Rockefeller University, USA

'I found the book enjoyable, thought-provoking and occasionally infuriating, the sort of text that will engage even the most reluctant apprentice reader. Each chapter has a bibliography that guides the new reader to relevant literature, helpful to students but also to lecturers not experts in the field…a well organised and practical text that will support [] the large numbers of students studying education studies free from the intervention of the TTA and I would recommend all of them to buy it' - John Lee, British Journal of Educational Studies

Sunni and Shi’i Practice and Thought

Political Quietism in Islam

'Elections at the subnational level have so far often been looked at through the lenses of methodological nationalism. That includes the assumption that they are 'second order' and thus only to be understood for their meaning at the statewide level. This collection does a great job analyzing carefully and systematically substate electoral dynamics on their own terms. The result is a must-read, a truly 'first order' book.'
Kris Deschouwer, Department of Political Science, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium

'This stimulating volume provides a comprehensive survey of the diversity and distinctiveness of regional elections across western Europe. Beyond this, it opens our eyes to regional elections as a core subject of comparative politics that repays serious study. This volume is a tour de force in transcending methodological nationalism.'
Gary Marks, Department of Political Science, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, USA and Department of Political Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands

'Together with a team of first-rate scholars, Dandoy and Schakel provide the first in depth and rigorous analysis of regional and national elections between 1945 and 2011 across 13 West European countries. In the context of an increasingly 'multi-level' Europe, this book rightly puts the comparative study of regional elections at the forefront of analysis and as such it successfully addresses the 'national bias' that had come to dominate much of party and electoral research until recent years. It is a must read for scholars of electoral studies, parties and federal and regional studies.'
Wilfried Swenden, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh, UK

'This impressive book is a veritable treasure trove of striking data, suggestive conceptualisation and thought-provoking analysis. Its publication surely represents a landmark moment in the development of comparative electoral analysis.'
Richard Wyn Jones, Cardiff School of European Languages, Translation and Politics, Cardiff University, UK

'A most welcome study on the interplay of regional and national elections. The comparative volume combines the advantages of a clear and comprehensive analytical framework with the richness of in-depth country chapters. The book explores the diversity of regional electoral behavior but it also finds common factors that are at play in many political systems in Western Europe'
Klaus Detterbeck, Department of Political Science, University of Magdeburg, Germany

“The book will be of great interest to researchers, academics and industry engineers since it combines theory and practise and outlines control techniques along with the many issues that arise when implementing them. It also includes several explanatory figures and many numerical simulations … .” (Lazaros Moysis, zbMATH 1402.93013, 2019)

Discrete-Time Control System Design with Applications

Made in India is a provocative and important contribution to queer diaspora and area studies. Working from the ever-globalizing present, Suparna Bhaskaran shows how Made in India is at once the result of commodity production in the liberal(ized) economy and of Indian nationalism's increasingly phantasmatic attempts to reinforce its sexual, racial and class boundaries in the postcolonial world.' - Kamala Visweswaran, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Texas

'Compellingly Innovative. Highly readable. Suparna Bhaskaran has gifted a most skillfully imagined ethnography. She has taken the word queer through a transnational journey that is at once intimate and political, and, in so doing, she has fashioned a new and expansive vocabulary about the formation of sexual subjectivities in neocolonial India. This is indispensable reading for anyone interested in the radical transformation of what it means to be queer.' - M. Jacqui Alexander, author of forthcoming Pedagogies of Crossing
