Between Flames and Deceit

'Inspiring and helpful to any parent starting their child in mainstream schooling, and any teachers worried about taking the first steps.' - Pat Dolan, parent fromStockport
'This is a delightful, practical account of the integration of a young child with Down's Syndrome into a mainstream infant school. It shows how positive the experience can be for everyone involved when there is a good level of support from the education authority, school and the family. It is a powerful argument for finding the money to pay for proper support for children with special needs. When I am teaching a child with Down's Syndrome I will certainly go back to this book for ideas and advice. I am impatient to follow Hannah through the next stage of her education. Can we have the sequel please?' - Lise Bosher, Viewpoint

’This is one of the most important books about medieval art to be published in recent years and will be of great value to stained glass historians. Produced as a festschrift in honour of the CVMA author, Professor Madeline Harrison Caviness, it consists of thirty original essays which apart from discussing stained glass, also cover many of Madeline’s other interests, such as gender studies and how art has been collected and why. The editors deserve immense credit for overseeing such a large and varied book and making its ideas available to a wider audience. It is almost certainly likely to become a standard reference book for students of stained glass...’ Vidimus 
’In this volume, the editors Evelyn Staudinger Lane, Elizabeth Carson Pastan and Ellen M. Shortell have created not only a spectacular and entirely fitting tribute to the broad and extensive research of Madeline Harrison Caviness, but also a work that will surely become a standard reference book for scholars and students in the field of medieval art history.’ The Medieval Review

"While key to our collective future, few of us know much about the inner workings of United Nations-based environmental policy-making. This book fills the void. Based on thorough ethnographic fieldwork, Lauren E. Eastwood offers an original account of how civil society groups struggle in the corridors to keep global power accountable." -- Anders Blok, Department of Sociology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark


"A remarkable book. Lauren Eastwood's ethnography of how UN climate and environmental agreements are actually put together in the everyday of arguments, pressures, demonstrations and denials that go into the wording of documents is a powerful story. It is not good news, but I learned in reading what I did not know, I did not know. Thank you, Lauren." -- Dorothy E. Smith, Professor Emerita, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto,Canada
"Eastwood weaves rich ethnographic data and careful analysis to provide a deep understanding of global policy-making. She takes the reader on a journey into the meeting rooms and hallways of the UN and international climate conferences, through the discursive context and the textual processes that shape global environmental governance. Policy-makers, environmental activists, and anyone else who cares about the present challenges and future of our environment should read this book." -- Nancy Naples, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, University of Connecticut, USA.
"Negotiating the Environment, by Lauren E. Eastwood, illuminates the politics of the policy processes by explicating how different views and commitments are coordinated through the production of institutional texts that become agreements, with associated winners and losers in particular policy matters. As an argument, Eastwood’s findings are not the expression of a theory; they account for what actually happens. The book needs to be read by everyone who studies or works on behalf of the environment." -- Marie L Campbell, Professor Emerita, University of Victoria, Canada

Mixed Race in Asia represents an important advance in both our theorizing and documentation of the multiple and varied forms of ‘mixing’ in a non-Western context. While Asia – in all its diversity – cannot be understood without reference to its colonial histories, this volume illuminates the pressing 　need to learn about what mixed race and mixing mean today in societies grappling with social change.

Miri Song, Professor of Sociology, School of Social Policy, Sociology, & Social Research, University of Kent, UK
In the context of Asia where ‘race’ often holds considerable salience as a socio-political category, this volume turns the spotlight on the lived experiences of mixed race identities. Across a broad range of Asian societies from those that bear the marks of postcolonial plurality such as Singapore and Malaysia to those where nationhood is predicated on claims to racial homogeneity such as Japan and Korea, the authors provide us rare insight into both the pathologies and privileges of racial mixing.
Brenda S.A. Yeoh, National University of Singapore, Singapore
This is a breakthrough volume for mixed race studies. It opens up a new set of regional perspectives, to provide us with fascinating insights into aspects of mixedness in the Asian context. Rocha and Fozdar are to be congratulated on putting together a unique contribution to the field.
Rosalind Edwards, Professor of Sociology, University of Southampton, UK

"This magnificent volume should be indispensable reading for students of African- American and American culture. It provides searching scholarship from which sophisticated students, no less than beginners in the field, are likely to learn much. One cannot help but note that the cultural offerings of Chicago were brilliantly in evidence during the time the national spotlight was for so long focused on New York's Harlem. A landmark achievement." - Sterling Stuckey, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, University of California at Riverside

"In this exhaustively researched, skillfully crafted, study, Clovis E. Semmes has
vividly recreated the forty year life span (1928-1968) of black Chicago's cultural
cornerstone, the Regal Theater. Although the physical Regal Theater is gone
(having met the wrecking ball more than a generation ago), The Regal Theater
and Black Culture admirably insures that this African American urban landmark
will not be forgotten." - Robert E. Weems, Jr., author of Black Business in the Black Metropolis: The Chicago Metropolitan Assurance Company, 1925-1985

"Semmes provides a fascinating study of one of America's most important theater institutions. By providing such a rich history of the Regal Theater, Semmes is also able to make broader claims about the negotiation of race in the 20th century. This book is vital reading for anyone interested in American performance history and African American popular culture. A major contribution!" - Nadine George-Graves, Associate Professor, UCSD, Department of Theater and Dance

"Clovis E. Semmes' The Regal Theater and Black Culture is an insightful look into the social history and community function of one of the most important and unique cultural venues in black America, Chicago's Regal Theater. Located in the heart of Chicago's now revitalizing Bronzeville (South Side) district, it was the only theater/entertainment palace ever constructed specifically for blacks by whites in an all-black community. While physically imposing, its ideological role reached equal heights of significance. This study opens the door to a comprehensive understanding of the past state of black entertainment as well as the deep-rooted popular appreciation and affirmation of black culture." - Christopher R. Reed, Department of History, Roosevelt University, and author of Black Chicago's First Century, Volume One, 1833-1900; 'All the World Is Here': The Black Presence at White City; and The Chicago NAACP And the Rise of Black Professional Leadership, 1910-1966

"Clovis E. Semmes's The Regal Theater and Black Culture reflects the elegance of Black cultural productions with an easy-to-read, clear, alluring writing style that chronicles the richness of Chicago's Regal Theater. While New York's Apollo Theater has enjoyed national and international popularity, Semmes's work emerges as an essential contribution, demonstrating that New York and its Apollo were not the first modernist representations of the multifaceted nature of Black talent and entertainment. Providing a Black-centered, insider microscopic picture of the interrelationship between Chicago as a 'Black Metropolis' and the cultural productions of the Regal Theater, this book emerges as an invaluable resource for students and seasoned scholars of Black literary, anthropological, political, sociological, architectural, legal, economical, historical epistemology as well as musical and dance productions. Reading this book is a journey through Bronzeville, the center of southside Black Chicago, and the location of the Regal Theater, between 1928 and 1968." - Joyce A. Joyce, Professor of English, Temple University

"This book combines a fine blend of recent research and relevant theory with illuminating illustrative examples from the world of work. This text will be of value not just to students of psychology, but also to managers who will glean interesting insights into the thoughts, attitudes and behaviour of their employees." – Professor Owen Hargie, University of Ulster, UK
"This book provides an up-to-date review of current work on trait psychology in the workplace. It is accessible and easy to read for both the student and the busy manager. The author does not duck away from controversial issues and in fact, his views on these add spice to the debate."- Elizabeth Chell, Institute of Entrepreneurship, University of Southampton, UK
"This is a well-researched, comprehensive book that one should definitely read to become conversant with the role of individual differences in the workplace. Clearly graduate students and researchers of individual differences would find this a helpful synthesis of the extant literature in this area." - Theresa J.B.

The book is a collection of short stories, small anecdotes in the life of some historical characters. More concretely, it focuses on the oddities and singularities of some well-known historical figures, not only in science, but also in arts, politics and social sciences. … the book shows the fascination for ancient history, the treasures hidden in original sources and the importance of exploring unusual connections.—Javier Martinez, The European Mathematical Society, January 2013
… a rambling, illuminating and thoroughly enjoyable bio/autobiographical and historical sketch, setting Pingree’s immense erudition in its professional and intellectual context. Besides a string of amusing and intriguing anecdotes plentifully sprinkled with photos and sketches, this small volume supplies a valuable reminder of how complex, surprising and just plain strange the history of the exact sciences can be.—Kim Plofker, MAA Reviews, October 2012
