Review:

...provides the open-minded reader with a thought-provoking, very readable, at times even fascinating, collection of essays. (Stewart R. Ross, Institute of International Relations, Prague Journal of International Relations and Development)

All of the essays in this collection are well-researched and well-argued...[this collection] well reflects both the progress scholars have made in creating a new field of study with an ocean basin, the Atlantic, as its centre, rather than a continent or nation-state, but also the challenges that lie ahead in conceptualising that field, 'Transatlantic Studies,' in a way that truly distinguishes methodologically and topically from the older area studies programmes. (Gayle K. Brunelle, California State University, Fullerton Itinerario)
