'...impressively researched in both British and Indian sources...' Times Literary Supplement  'This is the first book to examine in detail Florence Nightingale's contributions to public health and welfare in India. Drawing on primary source material from Britain and India, Gourlay recounts how Nightingale went beyond reforming the working conditions of the British army in India, to improving sanitary services, and ultimately becoming the advocate for the riots, the peasants who constituted 80 percent of the population. Recommended. General readers; upper-level undergraduates and graduate students; professionals and practitioners.' Choice  ' This is a book to delight any historian - massively researched, clearly and economically written, and with a full academic apparatus, but above all dealing with an important aspect of British India which will be new ground for almost all British historians.' Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research  'The author should be highly commended for this work.  She presents ten chapters full of detailed accounts of Nightingale's involvement in Indian affairs... Florence Nightingale and the Health of the Raj is an important text that can be used as reference and motivation for the historical scholar... All in all, this text is an essential contribution to the health care humanities field because of its historical and literary significance.  Florence Nightingale and the Health of the Raj will be of interest to scholars of Indian health care, public health, nursing, and the emerging area of twenty-first -century historical inquiry: global cross fertilization of health care knowledge and practices.' Nursing History Review  'The material is fascinating, and the tale well told.' Bulletin of the History of Medicine  'Gourlay has provided a concise and readable overview of an important Victorian's contribution to imperial policies and practices relating to India.  She has also added immensely to the scholarship about Nightingale, pl

'This is a book about orientalism in India,' Dodson tells us. But it is also much more. In exploring the evolution of Sanskrit intellectual culture at Benares College, Dodson reveals a complex, layered world of knowledge production in an increasingly important outpost of the British Empire. The 'common ground' of Benares College possessed, to be sure, an uneven political topography, but it was a topography full of surprising landmarks - especially for those who assume an easy congruence between trajectories of power and knowledge in Europe's engagement with its Others. Dodson's nuanced historical mapping of this topography is as eloquent as it is penetrating. It raises profound questions not only about the nature of the British 'colonizing project' in India, but the degree to which it was a 'colonizing' project in the final analysis. Dodson's careful, stimulating scholarship deserves a wide readership.' - Professor William Pinch, Wesleyan University

'Michael Dodson aims to complicate some persistent historical truths about the ideological work of orientalism by undertaking a local study of one of its institutionalized forms, Benares Sanskrit College. Through painstaking textual analysis and equally meticulous attention to the relationship between indigenous cultural authority and the exigencies of colonial rule, he argues that Hindu pundits were not merely annexed to constructive orientalism, but that they also used it to remake their own claims to relevancy in the ever-imperializing world of the Raj. In so doing he opens up new avenues of inquiry about the fate of intellectual expertise and adaptability in the context of modern imperialism.' - Professor Antoinette Burton, the University of Illinois

'It will be of great interest to historians of modern South Asia, but also more broadly to those engaged with the roles of informants in the production of colonial knowldge, and with the history of modern educational policies and institutions in the colonial context.' - The Journal of Asian Studies

Praise for Previous Editions:"… useful as a reference where one can look to get a concise description of a statistical methodology and MATLAB code that can be used to implement it … the book is excellent."—Michael J. Evans, Mathematical Reviews, 2009e"My own brief assessment of the book leaves me impressed with the number of subjects covered … the book can be a valuable reference to practicing statisticians (or statistical researchers) using MATLAB as their computing engines."—Biometrics, March 2009"… this book is perfectly appropriate as a textbook for an introductory course on computational statistics. It covers many useful topics, which in combination with the well-documented code, make the underlying concepts easy to grasp by the students. … a very nice book to be used in an undergraduate- or masters-level computational statistics course. It would also prove useful to researchers in other fields that want to learn and implement quickly some advanced statistical techniques." —Journal of Statistical Software, July 2004, Vol. 11 "I am pleased to see the publication of a comprehensive book related to computational statistics and MATLAB. … this book is ambitious and well written. As a long-time user of MATLAB, I find this book useful as a reference, and thus recommend it highly to statisticians who use MATLAB. The book also would be very useful to engineers and scientists who are well trained in statistics." —Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2004, Vol. 99, No. 466
