"Bion in Film Theory is that rare thing: a book that offers a renewed encounter between psychoanalysis and cinema. At once disciplined and productively wayward, this book opens up new ground for thinking about what we do when we use the environment created by a work of art: film, in this instance, but Garcia’s intervention has a reach well beyond her immediate concerns. In particular, through her explorations of Bion’s writings, the ‘retreat’ becomes a generative figure via which to reflect not only on what psychoanalysis can do to our understanding of the experience of film but, more broadly, the conditions of life and labour in the 21st century. At stake, in effect, is a question about the futures of human mind and being – and what cinema can contribute to our understanding of the forms of resistance made possible by retreat." - Prof. Vicky Lebeau, Professor of English, University of Sussex

"This is a sophisticated piece of original research at the intersection of psychoanalysis and film studies. Carla Ambrósio Garcia brilliantly demonstrates why film theory’s canonical accounts of spectatorial experience need to be revisited in the light of Wilfred Bion (and object-relations generally), and facilitates a productive thinking space for the ongoing discussion about how we might conceive of a revolutionary psychical metamorphosis in and through the experience of film." - Dr Andrew Asibong, Reader in Film and Cultural Studies, Birkbeck, University of London

"Carla Ambrósio Garcia’s fascinating book offers a new way of thinking about cinema, and its introduction of Bion to film studies ought to be both noticed and long lasting." - Dr Agnieszka Piotrowska, Filmmaker and Reader in Film Practice and Theory, University of Bedfordshire

"Schaeffer correctly describes the book as one that keeps alive the interaction and exchange of information between models of linguistic theory and cross-linguistic/cross-learner data studies. I found the book to do more than this....provides a good demonstration of the progress being made in the study of the SLI and of other childhood language disorders."&#8212;International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders"One of the best features of this text is the way that the authors refer to the other chapters within the book....For those who like to keep abreast of developments in the research in a broader sense this book would prove a very interesting read."&#8212;Child Language Teaching and Therapy"It [Language Competence Across Populations] brings together information on language impairments in a way that will broaden the horizons of many who read it. Ideas introduced are supported by a wealth of references that will assist this process....It is both thought-provoking and informative for everyone who works in the field...For those who like to keep abreast of developments in the research in a broader sense this book would prove a very interesting read."&#8212;Child Language Teaching and Therapy"The insights gained into the nature of SLI and other developmental language disorders are carefully scrutinized, and most of the authors call for a much-needed and bold revision of current definition standards for a more comprehensive understanding of what SLI is, and of what its causes may be.The theoretical and methodological implications of these studies will be of interest to a wide audience ranging from linguists and psychologists working in the field of language impairments to clinicians working with patients."&#8212;Cambridge Press Journal

Ainsworth is concerned with the strategies that 17th-century readers employed in their search for religious understanding. A solid contribution to Milton studies. Recommended. -- B. E. Brandt, South Dakota State University, Choice
"…Ainsworth makes an important contribution to our understanding of the religious imperative of Milton’s prose and poetry…Deeply engaged with his material, Ainsworth practices the kind of reading that he elucidates in Milton’s works. His intense, concentrated focus on spiritual reading never wavers, and his precise distinctions ensure that readers will be vigorously exercised." -- Ken Simpson, Renaissance Quarterly
"Ainsworth is an astute reader of Milton"

"As an agronomist working in development, I found Agronomy for Development to be very refreshing. This book enlarges the discussion around development agronomy and offers tools for a more meaningful engagement of the subject. This is a very timely contribution." — Professor Martin Entz, Department of Plant Science, University of Manitoba, Canada
"Progress in transforming　agriculture and achieving　food security will very much depend on whether good agronomy can be brought to scale. This requires re-thinking by everyone involved, including agronomists themselves. This book is a refreshing contribution to this debate." — Professor Achim Dobermann, Director, Rothamsted Research, UK
"Agronomy for Development: The Politics of Knowledge in Agricultural Research should be read by both agronomists and development professionals.　 Over the past 40 years, agricultural development has become increasingly competitive.　 The result is proposals that are comprised of bundles of win themes that are based on success stories rather than science.　 The high expectations of impact inevitably lead to disappointment.　 Through recent and relevant examples, Agronomy for Development discusses how to address these challenges." — Dr Tom Remington, Senior Technical Adviser, International Potato Center (CIP)
"Rethinking agronomy, for what purposes, by whom?　 These are the compelling questions at the heart of this book, through the lens of knowledge politics. Presented by the foremost thinkers in the field, this is mandatory reading for agronomists, food systems actors and all of those engaged in development and contestation." — Professor Sieg Snapp, Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences, Center for Global Change Science, Michigan State University, USA

"As America continues to struggle with the social and racial legacies of its civil war, Wesley Moody takes the reader back to that war’s origins in an accessible and insightful analysis of the background to, and eventual fall of Fort Sumter in 1861. Expertly locating the microhistory of the stand-off in Charleston Harbor in the wider narrative of a nation dedicated to liberty that clung, at terrible cost, to slavery, Moody relocates Fort Sumter as central to the Civil War story: the ultimate symbol of that conflict’s causes, its costs, and its continuing significance for the nation." 
Susan-Mary Grant, author of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

"In The Battle of Fort Sumter, Wesley Moody brings life to the historical players: planters, politicians, enslaved people, and Confederate and Union wives and children of the era. With an extraordinary number of sources and notes, Moody provides full transcripts of documents for the reader to analyze. Set alongside the secondary text, the reader will find primary sources, including fully captioned and contextualized images, as well as letters and government documents of importance. Moody provides a useful and concise description of the evolution of political parties, from politicians with personalities, to proto-party organizations, and then how the divisions turned from political party split, to a North/South divide."

"The Mindfulness-Informed Educator is the first edited volume of its type to integrate acceptance and mindfulness-based streams of research and to meet the growing challenges faced by instructors and mental health professionals working in colleagues and university settings. It’s a scholarly and practical resource that should be read by everyone working in higher education settings."
John P. Forsyth, PhD, professor of psychology and director of the anxiety disorders research program at the University at Albany, SUNY, and coauthor of The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders
"As someone who works in higher educator as a researcher, teacher, clinician, and research and clinical supervisor, I found the evidence-based suggestions for increasing psychological flexibility across higher education contexts provided in The Mindfulness-Informed Educator to be highly relevant. The challenges and future directions as applicable to each population and/or setting are especially helpful. I believe this will be a great addition to many university office bookshelves!"
Amy R. Murrell, PhD, coauthor of The Joy of Parenting: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Guide to Effective Parenting in the Early Years
"This book is a gift to educators and clinicians. More than just a book on mindfulness in the training process, the highly expert authors provide an important, innovative and theoretically coherent approach to enhancing training and education through the growth of specific competencies in mindfulness, acceptance, and commitment. I would highly recommend this book to any of us involved in teaching and learning."
Dennis Tirch, PhD, director of the Center for Compassion Focused Therapy

Building Acceptance and Psychological Flexibility in Higher Education

The Mindfulness-Informed Educator

Educators around the world have been dazed by the speed and impact of recent reforms based on markets, testing, and accountability. Too often the response has been paralysis and defensiveness, rather than innovation and collaboration. But there is a better way forward. 
In this deeply democratic and inspiring volume, based on a network of schools in Queensland, Australia, educators can learn about how they can protect themselves from the worst dimensions of recent reforms, while capitalizing on their latent potential. Promoting Equity in Schools is an indispensable volume for all educators who want serious, practical, and sustainable solutions to the nitty-gritty challenges of leadership today.
Dennis Shirley, Professor of Education, Lynch School of Education, Boston College, USA
A very remarkable book of international significance that could and should not only enable schools to transcend the narrowness of what they are so insistently required to do, but also help governments to return to education worthy of democracy as a way of living and learning together.
There are at least three compelling reasons why this book is important: it is at once principled, realistic and inspiring.

Principled because it returns us to education as a common good that cherishes the development of all young people in all their diversity, not just those whose test scores drive and distort the daily realities of so much contemporary schooling.
Realistic because it shows us how commitment to inclusion and equity is not only possible and productive within the narrow imperatives of high pressure policy requirements, but transformative of them.
Inspirational because its many examples, rooted in the realities of multiple cases and contexts, give us a sense that another way is not only desirable but possible.
In sum, it restores and sustains our educational integrity in contemporary contexts that too often invite its betrayal. It nurtures hope in hard times."
