In Takeovers, Restructuring and Corporate Governance (Prentice Hall, 2003), Harold Mulherin, the Don and Lorraine Freeberg Professor in Economics, combines conceptual and empirical material to provide readers with an understanding of mergers and acquisitions, strategic valuation, and corporate restructuring. Mulherin's contributions are new to the fourth edition. "It is the leading textbook in MBA programs across the country," he says.

Mulherin also edited Mergers and Corporate Finance (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2004), a collection of previously published research on mergers, including theoretical and empirical papers and industry studies. He will teach in Italy this spring as recipient of a Fulbright grant.

Ronald Riggio, the Henry R. Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology and director of the Kravis Leadership Institute, and Sarah Smith Orr, KLI board member, coedited Improving Leadership in Nonprofit Organizations (Jossey-Bass, 2003), a collection of research and practice information proceeding from the 12th annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference.

Riggio also coedited Applications of Nonverbal Communication (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2005), which presents the research of the Claremont Symposium on Applied Social Psychology. The volume examines four applications of the most advanced existing research on nonverbal communication: health applications, legal and political applications, business and education applications, and social and cultural issues.

William Ascher, vice president, dean of the faculty, and Donald C. McKenna Professor of Government and Economics, and his wife, Barbara Ascher, senior research associate at the Kravis Leadership Institute, coauthored Revitalizing Political Psychology: The Legacy of Harold D. Lasswell (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2004). Linking psychodynamic theory to democratic practice, the book presents 20th-century political psychologist Harold D. Lasswell's ideas as a springboard for examining current political, policy, and leadership issues.
