"This is a highly innovative and exciting approach to one of the great classics of philosophy. Primarily aimed at students, I strongly suspect that experienced scholars will benefit greatly from seeing Hume through the fresh lens of this volume."Michael Ruse, Florida State University
"This is a brilliant book, embodying a fantastically helpful and novel approach to supporting students in navigating Hume’s Enquiry. The explicatory and instructive commentary is woven in seamlessly – the format is such that the reader can easily distinguish the voices of Stapleford and Goldschmidt from that of Hume. The authors do a marvellous job of executing an enjoyable, innovative, and valuable approach to reading and understanding the　Enquiry."Ema Sullivan-Bissett, University of Birmingham

"Philosophers face many hurdles when introducing students to classic texts. Well, this bold and distinctive book removes one of those hurdles. We meet a brilliant idea being applied sensitively, for Hume’s first Enquiry. If I was wearing a hat, I would raise it in appreciation of what Stapleford and Goldschmidt have accomplished here."Stephen Hetherington, The University of New South Wales
"This book is an excellent tool for students and teachers alike. It allows readers to participate in the continuous flow of Hume's thoughts and, at the same time, receive illuminating explanation without being disrupted by footnotes, appendices or other comments. Throughout the expanded text, the authors have successfully retained Hume's own structure and dialectics of the Enquiry. Using this book for teaching will be like co-teaching with two expert scholars who provide the students with guidance during the whole process of reading."Verena Wagner, University of Konstanz
"In the Middle Ages philosophy was often conducted via commentaries on what in the day were considered the great philosophical works. This had the benefit of being immensely useful for students seeking an initial understanding, but also for the established scholars seeking to deepen their understanding of the texts familiar to them. It is extremely refreshing to see this approach – with the concomitant advantages above – deftly re-visited, illuminating this philosophical classic." Anthony R. Booth, University of Sussex

"Christopher J. Lee’s Kwame Anthony Appiah is more than overdue. Providing a rich and nuanced treatment of one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries, Lee’s book skillfully guides readers through Appiah’s philosophical work, helping them think through and historicize Appiah’s reflections on such themes as race, nationalism, culture, and identity. This is a must read."



Jeffrey S. Ahlman, Smith College, USA




"Christopher J. Lee’s insightful and critical analysis guides the reader through the many historical, cultural, and intellectual worlds where Kwame Anthony Appiah forged his philosophy. From a childhood lived during and after the Ghanaian nationalist struggle – as the son of an African father and an English mother – to the halls of British and American academia, Lee shows how Appiah has reflected upon and analyzed his diverse experiences to craft a philosophy that can help us navigate the moral and political dilemmas of the twenty-first century."

This book is a major achievement that extends Weiner's already impressive attribution theory of motivation in new directions. With pristine clarity it demonstrates how judgment of responsibility can be used to generalize theoretical principles derived from the study of achievement evaluation to a wide variety of behaviors. The result is a comprehensive theory of social conduct that is essential reading for anyone interested in human behavior. --Frank D. Fincham, Ph.D., FBPsS, University of Wales, CardiffProfessor Weiner has made a bold attempt to present a scientific analysis of the issues involved in assigning responsibility and blame. In contrast with traditional solutions, he argues that it is not blame but emotion (anger or sympathy) that mediates subsequent social behavior. Weiner's clear thinking and relevant empirical data bring a fresh and interesting perspective to highly significant and perennially debated social and moral issues. --Carroll E. Izard, Ph.D., Unidel Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Delaware ...we pronounce the book good, judge it innocent of poor scholarship, and sentence it to having a long impact on research and theory on interpersonal judgment....this book is a significant read with enormous strengths and a provocative, testable point of view. It presents an important perspective that adds emotional and moral elements into our more cognitive models for judgments of others....accessible to a broad audience....the text is appropriate both for undergraduates and for graduate students and established academics tilling the fields of attribution processes. The book can serve as a wonderful teaching tool as the reader completes studies, gets personally involved, and therefore easily grasps the ideas and findings. --Kathryn C. Oleson and Robert M. Arkin, Contemporary Psychology-We pronounce the book good, judge it innocent of poor scholarship, and sentence it to having a long impact on research and theory on interpersonal judgment....This book is a significant read with enormous strengths and a provocative, testable point of view. It presents an important perspective that adds emotional and moral elements into our more cognitive models for judgments of others....The text is appropriate both for undergraduates and for graduate students and established academics tilling the fields of attribution processes.--Contemporary Psychology, 4/16/1995

From the reviews:

"Andrei N. Kolmogorov (1903-1987) was one of the most prolific and influential mathematicians of the twentieth century. … this collection would be read by those who hold only a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, computer science or physics, and more generally, by those interested in mathematical ideas. … This impressive collection gives the reader an understanding of the depth and breadth of Kolmogorov’s contributions to mathematics. Each chapter includes a substantial list of references that invite further reading." (Elena Anne Marchisotto, MathDL, December, 2007)
"The object of Kolmogorov’s Heritage in Mathematics is to enable the general mathematical reader (educated to master’s level) to grasp something of Kolmogorov’s achievements. … I can judge, it is successful in its aim. … those mathematicians with a sense of history, who wish to place themselves within the general culture of mathematics, will find this book a worthy memorial to a great man." (T. W. Korner, SIAM reviews, Vol. 50 (4), December, 2008)

Kolmogorov's Heritage in Mathematics

With this book, John O’Regan has mastered the art of engaging readers with his elegant and sharp scholarship, however complex the subject matter may be. He treats seriously and passionately the long overdue need to examine and document the political economic dimension of language, specifically in relation to the historical global dominance of English. In so doing, O’Regan challenges established and promoted bodies of work by questioning normative and in-fashion ideologies and thinking, seeing beyond oft-celebrated sentiments and positions in order to deliver a work that is not only thought-provoking, but also of great merit and intellectual weight.
Phan Le Ha, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei

A careful, comprehensive and critical study of the intertwined tentacles of English and capitalism. John O’Regan presents here the big and the long picture of the political economy of English, showing how the global dominance of English and the development of the capitalist world-system cannot be usefully considered in isolation. A study of real importance.

&ldquo;Her thought-work and writing are both full-force with courage and wisdom. In the age of telling truth, she says, the US has yet to correct its narrative to acknowledge its settler-colonialist and imperialist past and present. This book should be taught in classrooms; readers will finish it changed.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist, Starred Review&ldquo;Dunbar-Ortiz&rsquo;s message is clear: uplifting narratives about the United States as a &lsquo;nation of immigrants&rsquo; allow the country to hide from its history of colonialism, genocide, slavery, and racism . . . . [T]his thought-provoking account will prove insightful for all.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;This impassioned and well-documented history pulls no punches.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz rightly argues that the United States is not &lsquo;a nation of immigrants&rsquo; but, more accurately, a nation of colonizers. A must-read.&rdquo;&mdash;Nick Estes (Lakota), author of Our History Is the Future&ldquo;Not &lsquo;A Nation of Immigrants&rsquo; challenges to the core one of the most dominant narratives about the United States, as a country founded by and welcoming for immigrants. Dunbar-Ortiz&rsquo;s captivating and accessible historical account forces a reckoning with the various layers of the US imperialist project, from territorial control to economic and political influence at the expense of Black populations, migrants, and Indigenous peoples. This myth-shattering book addresses one of the most pressing challenges of our time by demonstrating the implications of white supremacy across time, across groups and spaces, and the connections between them. If there is hope for transformation, it is through the careful, systematic work that this book exemplifies by examining the roots of racism and structural inequality, and bringing forward alternative narratives and movements. It is a must-read.&rdquo;&mdash;Alexandra D&eacute;lano Alonso, author of M&eacute;xico and Its Diaspora in the United States: Policies of Emigration Since 1848&ldquo;This book is meticulously researched and written with eloquence and passion. With it, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, one of our preeminent radical historians, once again delivers a powerful and provocative indictment of settler colonialism and white nationalism, which were foundational in building this country.

A must-read history for our troubling present.&rdquo;&mdash;Barbara Ransby, author of Making All Black Lives Matter&ldquo;A compelling counter-narrative to America&rsquo;s autobiography as the making of a &lsquo;nation of immigrants.&rsquo; Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz not only chips away at this settler account but also provides the narrative glue for an emancipatory movement beyond the settler-native dichotomy.&rdquo;&mdash;Mahmood Mamdani, author of Neither Settler nor Native: The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities&ldquo;Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is a one-woman wrecking ball against the tower of lies erected by generations of official and television historians&mdash;people who make a living glorifying slave traders and exterminators of Native Americans.&rdquo;&mdash;Ishmael Reed&ldquo;With characteristic grit and brio, Dunbar-Ortiz demonstrates how profoundly the settler-colonial history of the United States and the ideology of &lsquo;white nativism&rsquo; have shaped both immigration policy and immigrant identity.&rdquo;&mdash;Mike Davis, author of Prisoners of the American Dream&ldquo;Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has produced a remarkable, engrossing, and readable reexamination of US history.&rdquo;&mdash;Bill Fletcher Jr., trade unionist and author of &ldquo;They&rsquo;re Bankrupting Us!&rdquo; And Twenty Other Myths About Unions&ldquo;In this book, a precious gift drawn from an amazingly rich life and a prodigious life of learning, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz urges us to disavow the violence of the US settler nation-state, its discursive erasures of native peoples and its material relations of dispossession.&rdquo;&mdash;Gary Y.

She demonstrates how the destruction of Indigenous nations was airbrushed out of history, to be replaced by the self-indigenization of both the earliest settlers and waves of later immigrants. Building on her magisterial Indigenous Peoples&rsquo; History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz makes a significant contribution to our understanding not only of the United States but of settler colonialism as a mode of domination and elimination of Indigenous peoples and cultures.&rdquo;&mdash;Rashid Khalidi, author of The Hundred Years&rsquo; War on Palestine

’Hilary Bagshaw has undertaken two somewhat daunting tasks: first, establishing the originality of Mikhail Bakhtin in relation to his philosophical sources; secondly, finely calibrating how far this surplus of novelty could help to resolve the dialectic of ’inside’ and ’outside’ views in the academic study of religion. As she drives towards her highly focused and convincing conclusion, so we find Bakhtin growing beyond the Bakhtin we thought we knew and speaking to us afresh. Bakhtin scholars no less than students of religion will greatly benefit from Bagshaw’s work.’ Graham Pechey, University of Cambridge, UK  '... offers readers a thoughtful, well-researched, and illuminating account of a Bakhtin we have not previously encountered.' Russian Review  ’Many readers will find much of value in Hilary Bagshaw’s interesting book, which shows a real appreciation of Bakhtin’s thought. It is carefully composed throughout and draws together a wide range of sources. The student of Bakhtin requires a diversity of approaches to draw close to him, and this book will be a contribution to the field.’  Journal of Religious Studies  ’[Bagshaw’s] study is thoroughly researched and advances insight into which intellectual movements and schools informed the development of Bakhtin’s key ideas.’  Theologische Literaturzeitung

"Exceptional in organization and presentation, the Handbook of Financial Risk Management is an ideal curriculum resource for students pursuing a master's degree in finance who want to learn risk management. While unreservedly recommended for college and university library Business Finance and Money Management instructional reference collections, it should be noted for the personal reading lists of students, academia, professional money managers, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject"—Midwest Book Review
"A textbook on risk management in the financial sector can become an epic story, if not only the vast amount of mathematical and statistical methods for risk measurement are included, but also developments in banking regulation. Exactly this is the aim of Roncalli's book, which is based on the authors’ lecture notes as well as an earlier, but less‐extensive French version, Roncalli (2004). The book is organized into three parts: the first part focuses on banking regulation, the second part focuses on risk measurement methods and the third explains the technical terms. 
[. . .] Roncalli's work can not only be used as a textbook, but can also be used as an encyclopaedia for risk managers where all relevant concepts are explained in detail. Separating regulation from fundamental mathematical concepts is an approach that contributes to clarity."—Royal Statistical Society
"Sound risk management is an imperative for of any financial company – today more than ever before. The Handbook of Financial Risk Management provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art account of the key issues and methods, brought together by one of the leading scholars in this discipline. An excellent source for students and practitioners alike."—Steffen Kern, Chief Economist and Head of Risk Analysis, European Securities and Markets Authority
Covering all aspects from the basics to cutting-edge topics like valuation adjustments and systemic risk, and rich with exercises tested by generations of students, it will be invaluable both as a textbook for quantitative finance programs and as a reference manual for the risk management professionals and regulators."—Peter Tankov, Professor of Quantitative Finance, ENSAE ParisTech and the co-author of Financial Modelling with Jump Processes
"Handbook of Financial Risk Management has the exceptional (and rare!) quality of bridging the practitioner-academic divide. Part1 covers all the important practical applications for management and Part2 provides the essential mathematical and statistical knowledge for modern risk analysts. Thierry’s expertise puts him in a unique position to author such a book and I am confident that it will be a standard reference in the field."—Carol Alexander, Professor of Finance, University of Sussex and Visiting Professor, Peking University PHBS Business School
"The Handbook of Financial Risk Management first thoroughly analyzes the different types of problems faced by the financial sector, then provides us with the best tools available to address them.
Thierry's unique experience as a practitioner in different types of institutions and as an academic, put him in a privileged place from the start to achieve this double task and he did it beautifully!"—Helyette Geman, Professor of Mathematical Finance at Birkbeck - University of London and Research Professor at Johns Hopkins University
"As only a talented teacher and seasoned professional can, Thierry Roncalli makes easy the understanding of all the major aspects of the quantitative risk management of financial institutions. With his rich academic and practical backgrounds, Roncalli knits together the diverse concepts and practical developments together in a comprehensive volume. The Handbook of Financial Risk Management is an absolute must for the novice and the practitioner who is looking to go deeper into the analytic aspects of risk assessment." —Michel Crouhy, Senior Advisor, former Head of Research & Development, at Natixis. Chair of the Natixis Foundation for Research and Innovation
"While there are many quantitative finance texts out there, as a teacher I struggled for years to find a risk management textbook diving deep enough into quantitative aspects.

Thierry’s new book fills this gap, giving the quantitative risk management and financial regulation the place they deserve.

"Handbook of Risk Management is an impressive and comprehensive resource covering many aspects of risk in finance. It is hard to find a resource dealing consistently with such an amount of material, ranging across buy side and sell side, pricing/hedging and risk management, different asset classes and strategies. The technical level of the book is good but accessible. It is a very timely contribution from the renowned author Thierry Roncalli, who is well known in quantitative finance for his works on Copula Functions, Risk Premia, Risk Parity and many other areas."—Prof. Damiano Brigo, Chair in Mathematics at Imperial College London, and Head of Mathematical Finance
"Handbook of Financial Risk Management (HFRM) achieves the remarkable feat of exposing in a comprehensive way all the practical aspects for risk management in financial industries from CVA to systemic risk while　 developing rigorously the mathematical and statistical tools for risk analysis. Each chapter is illustrated with several exercises which represent a valuable source for students.
This impressive volume has benefited from the rich experience of Thierry Roncalli as a recognized professional in quantitative research department of various institutions, and as a teacher in different universities. I already used a previous version of this manual for my course on risk management, and have no doubt that HFRM will become a textbook of reference for both practitioners in risk management and academics of quantitative finance Master programmes."—Huyên PHAM, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Université de Paris, and Director of the Master programme M2MO: Random Modeling, Finance and Data Science (ex DEA Laure Elie).　


"The Handbook of Risk Management is not one more book on quantitative finance and risk, it is the one that everyone interested in risk management need to have as a reference book. Students, teachers, financial risk analysts, regulators and other practitioners will find a comprehensive and detailed information about what they need to understand the theoretical concepts and tools to solve real-world problems. This book provides a full　 treatment of modelling techniques of quantitative risk management as well as a rigorous presentation of mathematical and statistical tools for risk analysis. 
The author develops methods to study market risk, credit risk, and operational risk and important practical applications for management. The essential mathematical and statistical knowledge is given in the second part of the book. Based on the author’s teaching experience for master's students, this remarkable book will become a standard in this area."—Monique Jeanblanc, Emeritus professor, Paris Saclay University
