| 'Many historians have downplayed the significance of interwar internationalism. This book challenges such narratives by assessing transnational projects that were launched or transformed after World War One, particularly the interaction of the League of Nations with specific groups or associations.

| 'With the Baltic States now playing a full role in the European Union, this book is a timely introduction for anybody wanting to know about the origins of the independence of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. It is accessibly written … yet based on thorough and sound scholarship … It is one of the great strengths of this book that the enormously complex conflict between German forces on the one hand and Estonian and Latvian forces on the other, is clearly summarised. Quite an achievement. … [this is an excellent book'. Professor Geoff Swain, Glasgow University |

'The Irish in the Atlantic World presents a transnational and comparative view of the Irish historical and cultural experiences as phenomena transcending traditional chronological, topical, and ethnic paradigms. Edited by David T. Gleeson, this collection of essays offers a robust new vision of the global nature of the Irish diaspora within the Atlantic context from the eighteenth century to the present and makes original inroads for new research in Irish studies. These essays from an international cast of scholars vary in their subject matter from investigations into links between Irish popular music and the United States.'

| 'This book reassesses the co-operative movement's impact on various communities in Britain during the period 1914 - 60. A national study with a local dimension, the book provides a comprehensive account of the influence of co-operatives during both war and peace. It explores the notable role played by the movement in the retail, wholesale, productive, political, educational and cultural life of Britain. Given the few modern scholarly works on Co-operation, it is a timely and much needed reassessment.' |

They all helped preserve a distinctive Scottish identity within newly adopted countries of residence. Ties of Bluid, Kin and Countrie is the first volume of its kind to collectively examine these associations. This inaugural publication of the Guelph Series in Scottish Studies features some of the most esteemed academics worldwide as well as emerging talents of Scottish diasporic studies.' |
