On New Netherland - A Dutch Colony in Seventeenth-Century America by Jaap Jacobs:
'With the publication of this book, genealogists with roots in New Netherland no longer have any excuse for relying on inadequate, out-of-date histories of the colonies. In spite of its high price, it should be read from cover to cover, and then used continuously as a reference work.'
The New York genealogical and Biographical Record, 2005

On Marriage Rituals Italian Style - A Historical Anthropological Perspective on Early Modern Italian Jews by Roni Weinstein, translated by Batya Stein:
'I recommend this volume highly to those interested in Jewish Studies, the history of religion and ritual, anthropology, and popular culture. Weinstein offers us a comprehensive and intelligent guide to the richness and complexity of marriage rituals in early modern Italy.'

On Education and Learning in the Netherlands, 1400-1600 - Essays in Honour of Hilde de Ridder-Symoens edited by Koen Goudriaan, Jaap van Moolenbroek and Ad Tervoort:
'All in all, these contributions represent a fitting tribute to the honoree and her circle and at the same time constitute a valuable contribution to the social history of learning.'

On The Military and Society in Russia, 1450-1917 edited by Eric Lohr and Marshall Poe:
'The Military and Society in Russia provides a significant addition to an understudied field. Although they vary widely in scope, intent, and documentation, the individual essays all make useful contributions to the enterprise. Their overall quality is high, and the footnotes in several of them offer a helpful guide to recent work.'

On The Work of Heiko A. Oberman - Papers from the Symposium on His Seventieth Birthday edited by Thomas A. Brady, Jr., Katherine G. Brady, Susan Karant-Nunn and James D. Tracy:
'The volume reaches the standards to which all Festschrifts aspire but few attain. It reflects coherence as each essay interacts creatively and insightfully with themes and issues handled by the one being honored. The quality of the contributions reflects the standards set by the honoree. The editors have done a magnificent job.'

On Riches from Atlantic Commerce - Dutch Transatlantic Trade and Shipping, 1585-1817 edited by Johannes Postma and Victor Enthoven:
'The result is a surprisingly coherent collection of essays in which the authors consciously engage each others' arguments. The book is obviously not intended to provide a comprehensive picture of the Dutch Atlantic * inevitably in an anthology some places and times are not covered * but there is much here to satisfy.
Marjoleine Kars, Itinerario, 2005

On The discovery of the Baltic - The Reception of a Catholic World-System in the European North (AD 1075-1225) by Nils Blomkvist:
'Combining the Annales school and the postcolonial thought with some Marxist concepts, clash of civilizations, and globalization inspirations, Blomkvist (Gotland Univ. College) produces a truly original approach to understanding the confrontation of an expansive and confident Western society with the older, Eastern-oriented, technologically backward, and diverse societies of the Baltic. .. Highly recommended. Advanced students and researchers.'
