“I feel professor Skoll presents a well-argumented book which is a result of years of academic maturation and research. … Skoll exerts a radical and illustrative criticism on the ‘culture of fear’ in the USA. It gives us an impressive snapshot of the USA so that readers may expand their understanding of what capitalism is. To my end, this is one of those books which are a must-read reference … .” (Maximiliano E. Korstanje, International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies, Vol. 4 (4), 2016)

"Human capital is admittedly the most important resource for all types of organizations and, indeed, for the economic development of countries. Although there is a fair amount of research focused on human capital, more is needed. This volume extends the frontiers of our knowledge of human capital by providing a multi-disciplinary and multi-level view of this critical resource. I commend this volume to all scholars interested in the advancement of our understanding of human capital." - Michael Hitt, Joe B. Foster '56 Chair in Business Leadership, Texas A&M University, USA

"Strategy, human resource, and economic scholars all recognize the centrality of human capital in understanding how organizations operate. The importance of human capital in service industries where a firm's competitive advantages 'go home' every night is obvious. But human capital is no less important in manufacturing. This book applies the latest thinking about human capital to develop a multi-level approach to research on this important phenomenon. Those interested in the future of human capital research will find these essays fascinating." - Jay B. Barney, Presidential Professor of Strategic Management, Lassonde Chair of Social Entrepreneurship, The University of Utah, USA

"This informative volume, edited by Meir Russ, tackles the multifaceted topic of human capital in organizations. Human capital may well be the most poorly conceptualized and assessed, yet vitally important ingredient for organizational innovation and success. Although there are many other books that examine human capital, the multi-disciplinary breadth (economics, finance, accounting, behavioral, human resources management, and systems) and multi-level scope (micro meso macro) of this one sets it apart. It is highly recommended." - Steve W. J. Kozlowski, Michigan State University, USA

"Sherrow Pinder's cogent and compelling critique of recent discourses surrounding postraciality and colorblindness makes a major contribution to the evolving scholarship on whiteness studies and critical race theory. A must read for diverse audiences navigating the complex racial politics of contemporary US cultures." - Beverly Guy-Sheftall, founding director of the Women's Center and Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Women's Studies, Spelman College, USA

"This book becomes a necessity as it explains in academic terms how terrible crimes can still be committed against fellow Americans. Pinder is academically innovative and timely in the analysis of the malignancy of whiteness shaped by white entitlement. This book should be taught at all colleges and universities in the United States to make it impossible for young Americans to proclaim that they are threatened by their fellow compatriots. It is time that the United States assumes responsibility for all of its citizens." - Thelma Pinto, Retired Professor of Africana Studies; Former Co-director of the Africana Studies Program at Hobart & William Smith Colleges, USA; Past president of the African Literature Association and a board member of Wagadu (journal for Transnational Women's and Gender Studies).

“Enrico Fermi: The Obedient Genius is a successful attempt to present Enrico Fermi’s work and its context both to specialists and, more broadly, to an informed and engaged public. It opens with a biography of Fermi, from his Italian years to his life in the United States, and then focuses on physics: its developments and Fermi’s contributions.” (Sofia Talas, Isis, Vol. 108 (2), June, 2017)“This book covers the life and work of the last great experimental and theoretical physicist, Enrico Fermi, whose name is forever associated with exploiting the nucleus of an atom’s power for both peaceful and destructive purposes. … it serves to illuminate Fermi's indelible contributions to the field of physics. … Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals and practitioners.” (N. Sadanand, Choice, Vol. 54 (2), October, 2016)

NATIONAL BESTSELLER&ldquo;Some [stories] are heartbreakingly sad; some laugh-out-loud funny; some momentous and tragic; almost all of them resonant or surprising. They are stories that attest to the startling varieties and travails of human experience, and the shared threads of love, loss, fear and kindness that connect us." &mdash;Michiko Kakutani,&#160;New York Times"All These Wonders is replete with wondrous true stories of loves, losses, rerouted dreams, and existential crises of nearly every unsugarcoated flavor."&mdash;Maria Popova, Brain Pickings&ldquo;[The Moth] has this indescribable energy that comes with people allowing themselves to be honest without fear. Translated to the page, this book&hellip;really becomes an incredible syllabus of vulnerability, one that invites you to cherry pick and re-read stories as you need them.&rdquo; &mdash;Goop (16 Great Reads for the Summer)&ldquo;All These Wonders is a compelling read, by turns uplifting, heartbreaking, and ultimately redemptive. If there is a real hero of the book, it is surely the human spirit, which, time and again, transcends whatever life throws at it.&rdquo; &mdash;Daily Mail "The stories are gripping, insightful, addictive.... [It's] hard not to laugh, cry, or be a little moved by each one."&mdash;Toronto Star&ldquo;All These Wonders is divided into seven expertly curated chapters.

From the reviews:“This book is divided into four parts … . Part I is designed for an audience of both undergraduate and graduate computer science students. … Part II is designed for people who are familiar with Part I and have fairly theoretical interests. … Part III is intended for people who … want to be able to use them in a better way, or who are specifically interested in timed systems. Part IV is designed for people who already understand CSP.” (Günther Bauer, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1211, 2011)
