"Every century needs an indispensable guide. The twenty-first century in Asia will see a natural return of the two great civilizations of China and India. Yet so little is known of them, especially to Western minds. And even less is known, even by thoughtful Chinese and Indians, on how these two great areas of culture have interacted for millennia. This brilliant volume shines a light on the two great civilizations that will once again drive world history. No volume could be more timely, more relevant, and more needed than this one. Ignore it at your peril. Read it and you will be enlightened."--Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow, Asia Research Institute, NUS, and author of The Asian 21st Century "With the recently elevated economic and political power of China and the great potential of India in the twenty-first century, interdisciplinary dialogue and engagement such as is found in this book is necessary for contemporary debates in political theory and international relations."--Kuiyi Shen, Professor of Asian Art History, Theory, and Criticism, University of California, San Diego "A pioneering volume that assembles some of the most important scholars of Chinese and Indian historical political thought to think athwart and across their specialized regions. It is important not only because Chinese power and an emergent India will play a significant role in global politics but also because these traditions may embed alternative visions and ideals from contemporary international politics. Commendably, the authors steer away from provocative politicized positions to focus on statecraft as it reflects fundamental values of society, rulership and life."--Prasenjit Duara, Duke University "Bridging Two Worlds enriches our knowledge about ancient Chinese and Indian political thoughts and theories, which represent a significant contribution of the two great Asian civilizations. It tries to bridge: first, China and India, with an academic dialogue between their ancient but diverse political ideas; second, past and present, to make sense of the present political and international practices by exploring the traditional codes; third, East and West, to complement the West-dominated political and IR theories. This book deserves a wide audience within the academy and beyond."--Li Li, deputy director and senior fellow, Institute of International Relations, Tsinghua University, China > "This excellent book brings together top scholars from the fields of Chinese and Indian political theory and philosophy. There have been few books that compare Chinese and Indian thought, and as the two countries become increasingly involved in cultural, political, and economic exchange, Bridging Two Worlds provides a much-needed philosophical perspective on present India-China relations."--Viren Murthy, author of The Politics of Time in China and Japan: Back to the Future

"Stephen Shoemaker leaves no significant aspect of the debate over the Qur'an's origin and evolution unexamined. His book is a milestone in Qur'anic studies. It is, simply put, the most comprehensive and convincing examination of this subject available. Everyone in the field will have to read it." --Fred M. Donner, Peter B. Ritzma Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern History, University of Chicago

"Victor Roy meticulously examines the value extraction that lies at the heart of today's pharmaceutical industry. An important voice on the links between finance and health ecosystems, Roy's new book is a valuable contribution to building an economy that is based on providing health for all."--Mariana Mazzucato, author of The Value of Everything and Chair of the WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All "This book is a riveting read that will strike fear in the heart of anybody who cares about the right to health or thinks that the drive for profit should not supersede democracy or human need. It exposes why the price tags on medicines are so high and what the systems are that keep it that way."--Salmaan Keshavjee, author of Blind Spot: How Neoliberalism Infiltrated Global Health "This is the best piece of nonfiction I have read in a long time. This book offers a fantastic, relevant, and necessary case study to understand how the financialization of the economy has affected the organization of industrial sectors by focusing on what has happened in the biopharmaceutical sector."--Marc-André Gagnon, Professor of Public Policy and Political Economy, Carleton University "Capitalizing a Cure debunks several myths used to justify today's pharmaceutical business model and shows how the purpose of improving people's health gets lost in the machinations of financialized capitalism. An eye-opener for scholars and policymakers seeking to reform our medical innovation ecosystem."--Els Torreele, former Director of the Médecins Sans Frontières Access Campaign and Visiting Fellow at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose "This book sheds light on an underappreciated yet critical driver of spiraling medicines prices: who finances pharmaceutical R&D, how, and why. Roy's careful excavation of the story behind breakthrough hepatitis C treatments is essential reading for anyone interested in the challenge of ensuring everyone can benefit from scientific progress."--Suerie Moon, Co-Director at the Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute "What is the price of a drug? Does it represent profit, value, or the person who might benefit from a curative medicine? Roy's book is a brilliant inspection of these dynamic concepts that helps us understand the decisions we are making as a society through drug pricing."--Joseph S. Ross, MD, MHS, Professor of Medicine and Public Health, Yale University

"Until the Storm Passes is a timely and original addition to our understanding of the transition from military to democratic rule in Brazil. By providing an in-depth rereading of key political events during the dictatorship's final years, Bryan Pitts fills a gap in the existing scholarship by advancing a somewhat revisionist, important argument about the relevance of the political class in the country's recent history. It will prove essential to making sense of Brazil's recent democratic backsliding and the revived appeal of authoritarianism among its citizens and organized political groups."--Rafael R. Ioris, author of Transforming Brazil: A History of National Development in the Postwar Era "In this remarkable study, Bryan Pitts shows how Brazil's political class used notions of privilege and honor in order to navigate the spaces between the military dictatorship and popular movements. Through innovative research--including audio recordings of legislative proceedings made available to readers of this book--Until the Storm Passes skillfully captures the atmosphere of a pivotal moment in Brazilian history."--Jacob Blanc, author of Before the Flood: The Itaipu Dam and the Visibility of Rural Brazil
