'The strength of this book lies [...] in its scholarship about the historical development of community gardens... Recommended.' Choice  'From the Ground Up is a well-researched investigation of a topic that, until now, has received mostly article-length treatment: the politics of community gardens in New York City. This in-depth study provides much more detail into the personal, communal, and urban politics of the community garden movement in New York than has previously been available, and is therefore a welcome addition to scholarly knowledge on the subject. ... The book is a useful resource for teaching on urban politics, and for researchers interested in the various politics of community gardens.' Journal of Regional Science  'From the Ground Up is a rich book full of illustrative insights into the world of community gardening in New York City'. Geography Research Forum  ’From the Ground Up makes an important contribution to our understanding of the reasons for, and the importance of; the community gardening movement in New York City ... and the valuable role the movement plays in promoting citizen participation and political development in a diverse metropolitan area. It is recommended reading for scholars interested in both community gardening and community development'. Marie Howland,University of Maryland, College Park, MD

“The monograph is based on the results of experimental and theoretical studies of hydrodynamic stability and heat and mass transfer processes in ferrouids … Doubtless, the monograph will be useful for postgraduate students of world leading universities as well as of interest to researches and practitioners working in the area of uid mechanics, hydrodynamic stability and heat and mass transfer with the view of perspective applications of ferrouids in heat management systems, in particular, in microelectronics and space technologies.” (Yulianna Perepelkina, zbMATH 1406.82002, 2019)

"John Hannigan’s fascinating survey of 1950s America provides a much-needed historical perspective on the rise of the spectacular, showing how entrepreneurs and imagineers combined to craft new leisure experiences for the masses. This book provides a skillful portrait of the transition of the spectacle from the modern into the postmodern era and an essential reference point for scholars of experience production and consumption."
- Greg Richards, Tilburg University, author of Small Cities with Big Dreams: Creative Placemaking and Branding Strategies
"John Hannigan’s Rise of the Spectacular takes midcentury spectacles of travel, recreation, science and technology seriously, examining how they offered a sunny, optimistic U.S. futurism, but simultaneously reinforced economic, gender, and racial power structures. These American futures past, from Disneyland to Palm Springs, Seattle to Cypress Gardens, can tell us much about how U.S. consumer and popular culture perceived and represented science, technology, and nature, and imagined a spectacular future, promising, problematic, and now irrecoverable, that shapes us still."　
- Lawrence Culver, Utah State University, author of The Frontier of Leisure: Southern California and the Shaping of Modern America 
"John Hannigan’s Rise of the Spectacular reminds us that what people regard as spectacular changes over time.It explores how the United States redefined the concept between 1952 and 1962.Taking on a decade commonly characterized as conformist or stifling, Hannigan tracks revolutionary changes in the nation’s material culture.His account is full of fascinating twists and turns.Readers may not be surprised that Walt Disney looms large in the story, but the breadth and extent of the Disney influence— upon world’s fairs, the Olympic games, Palm Springs, Cinerama, and beyond—is striking.In identifying other dimensions of the spectacular, such as planetariums, chemistry sets, and underwater photography, Hannigan shows how things we take for granted nowadays were mid-20th-century innovations that reshaped the ways people understood and interacted with the world.Americans not only adopted a "spectacular gaze," this important book argues, but also tried exporting it to the rest of the globe."

"With Digital Gaming Re-imagines the Middle Ages, Kline and his various contributors have collectively fired the first volley in what will be, one hopes, a new and exciting chapter in medievalism. However, the book is important not only because it is the first in this new subfield, but also because it is excellent in itself; the contributions are well-argued and clear, the collection has been carefully assembled and edited, and the whole contains a wide range of consistently insightful chapters." --Andrew B.R. Elliott, Arthuriana 24.4 (2014)
