"Schutz and Sandy provide an engaging overview of community organizing in the Saul Alinsky tradition from an organizer's perspective.Clear and comprehensive, their book shows us how organizers develop skilled leaders, build powerful organizations, and help revitalize American democracy." - David Walls, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Sonoma State University

"A commendable text that challenges students to look beyond the 'how to' of organizing to the far more difficult task of 'how to think' about organizing. Without such intellectual work, it is difficult to understand community organizing as anything more than a series of techniques equally usable by The Tea Party, President Obama, Tupperware, or anyone else who wants to effectively gain 'market share.'" - Mike Miller, veteran community organizer and author of A Community Organizer's Tale: People and Power in San Francisco

"In accessible language and with compelling examples, Schutz and Sandyexplain the why of organizing - why we recruit new leaders, why we build power, and why we pick fights. As new media technology expands the tools for organizing, clarity about the why is more critical than ever. A must-read for anyone interested in building an inclusive, compassionate, and equitable society." - Rinku Sen, President and Executive Director of the Applied Research Center (ARC) and publisher of ColorLines.com

"Loring Danforth humanizes the Macedonian conflict, shows us real people as they live this conflict, and makes clear that, despite its unique features, this struggle over ethnic and national identity is shared with other groups throughout the world. A good, rapid read filled with the fruit of first-rate, on-the-scene digging into people's lives."---Lou Panov, The Boston Book Review

Aus den Rezensionen:

"Das Niveau der zivil-militärischen Beziehungen ist … für einen demokratischen Rechtsstaat bedeutend … Die Staaten in Südosteuropa im Allgemeinen und die Staaten am Westbalkan im Besonderen waren und sind diesbezüglich mit speziellen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, daher wird im vorliegenden Sammelwerk genau diese hoch aktuelle Problematik im geopolitisch sensiblen Raum behandelt. Das Sammelwerk … beinhaltet Beiträge von fünfzehn Autoren aus elf Staaten … Zusammenfassend sei … anzumerken, dass die einzelnen Beiträge trotz unterschiedlicher Schwerpunkte einen guten Überblick über den Entwicklungsstand der zivilmilitärischen Beziehungen im jeweiligen Land darstellen" (Rastislav Báchora, in: Der Donauraum, 2006, Issue 3-4, S. 279 f.)

“The reader will also find very detailed information about how much influence particular institutions and even individuals had in policy preparation. The book is also certainly a significant theoretical contribution to institutionalist theory and comparative public policy studies, especially in reference to the post-socialist economic transformation. … This is an important lesson that may be of interest not only to scientists and students but also, and perhaps especially, to policy-makers.” (Martin Lux, International Journal of Housing Policy, Vol. 17 (3), June, 2017)

From the reviews:“This is a short introduction to mathematical logic that covers basic material in 17 chapters … . The book is interspersed with several small references to various scholars involved in the development of logic, which provides for welcome interruptions in the formal exposition. … An important aspect of the book is a veritable multitude of exercises. … it is a very nice booklet that in view of this reviewer is an attractive choice for an introductory logic course for first year computer science students.” (Krzysztof R. Apt, Theory and Practice of Logic Programming, Vol. 12 (3), 2012)“The book contains all the necessary means to understand any advanced text in logic, including the subjects covering Gödel’s incompleteness theorems. Although brief, this course seems to be an excellent introduction to modern mathematical logic, and, as such, we recommend it firstly to students of mathematics and computer science, and also to students of philosophy and linguistics … . The author’s beautiful, clear and approachable style makes this book also recommendable to a broader range of readers who are interested in modern trends in logic.” (Branislav Boričić, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1235, 2012)
