"A remarkable book that is immediately accessible for the novice in the field,
or students, and yet also engages with its topic in intellectually interesting ways
for the more seasoned reader. Helps chart the way forward for those already thinking about,
or tussling with, the horrors of humanity and the seemingly ever evolving capacity
to shock the conscience." - James Gow, Professor of International Peace and Security, King's College London

"Men of the Global South highlights a population group
which hardly figures in the literature of gender and development
-- or indeed in the literature of development in general. It describes
men in all their complexity and inconsistency -- violent and non-violent,
powerful and not powerful, straight and not straight, maintainers of tradition
and destroyers of it, as they really are and as they want and fear to be.
In doing so it fills a big gap in the literature, and raises a challenge
to the gender and development mainstream to explain why it overlooks
the gendered lives of men as well as women." - Judy El-Bushra
"This is the best introductory text available to students
of genocide studies. Written in clear, elegant prose and supported by
a wealth of authoritative sources, Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction
is likely to be come the gold standard by which all subsequent introductions
to this enormously important subject will be measured." - Kenneth J. Campbell, University of Delaware;
author of Genocide and the Global Village

An account of a journey to the town of Prokhorovka in southern Russia,
scene of the decisive clash in the Battle of Kursk (July 1943), the greatest
tank battle in history.

"The noise about the web is all about its use for selling and buying. Huge changes it will bring. But the best change may be a new empowerment of the individual; a return to pre-Gutenberg days, when one man's voice could reach as far as almost any other." - The Economist, 31 December 1999.
"You're starting to see something on the web that is very unique to it. The ability to center your intellectual life in all of its different appearances in your own 'presence' online, on the home page, so that you can actually have the equivalent of an author bio. Except that it's dynamically updated all the time, and there are links to everything you're doing everywhere. I think we've only just begun to exploit it -- of combating the problem with the free-floating intellectual, which is that you're floating all over the place and you don't necessarily have a home, and your ideas are appearing in lots of different venues and speaking to lots of different audiences. The web gives you a way of rounding all those diverse kinds of experiences and ideas -- and linking to them. ... And it also involves a commitment to real engagement with your audience that perhaps public intellectuals have talked a lot about in the past, but maybe not lived up to as much as they could have." - Steven Johnson, in "The Future of the Public Intellectual: A Forum," The Nation, February 12, 2001.
