"Manthia Diawara's Black American Cinema shows how refreshingly far away from decorous consensus the field of Black cinema study is today, in a varied and provocative montage of opinions, personal histories, position statements, and historical criticism."
-- Journal of Communication, Summer 1995
"...essays in Black American Cinema make the book a worthy addition to the small shelf of Black cinema criticism."
-- Journal of Communication, Summer 1995
"...In attempting to plug the vast academic gaps in my knowledge, this seminal collection of essays from the AFI [American Film Institute] readers series proved invaluable. In the preface Diawara talks about addressing both “a black film aesthetic by focusing on the black artist” and “the thorny issue of film spectatorship”. This authoritative volume covers film-makers from Oscar Micheaux to Spike Lee, and is as relevant now as it was when first published."
-- Mark Kermode, The Guardian

"Much of contemporary bioethical analysis takes place at one or a few levels: either close analysis of particular cases where the question is what one individual owes to another; or perhaps an analysis of ethical decision-making in small groups; or wider discussions in public health and environmental ethics, dealing with overarching causes and patterns. Rarely does one see an approach to bioethics that reaches all the way down into the psychodynamics of human emotions, puts them in relational and social context—borrowing from myths and cultural narratives along the way—while connecting the dots to broader concerns at the population and even planetary level. However, this well-written, engaging new book by Susi Ferrarello does just that. It should serve as a model for 'integrated,' multi-level bioethics going forward." — Brian Earp, associate director of the Yale-Hastings Program in Ethics and Health Policy at Yale University and The Hastings Center, USA

"In a unique way, this book combines philosophical and psychological knowledge with medical and environmental issues. It is an indispensable book for both graduate and undergraduate students, as well as for scholars who seek ways to approach bioethics in an integrative way. The lived-experience of the individual is here elucidated within the context of society and it becomes clear how this intertwinement makes an impact on our societal well-being." — Magnus Englander, associate professor, Malmö University, Sweden

The Role of Bioethics in Emotional Problems

TES Book of the Week, 21/03/03'How Not to Be a Hypocrite is a cogent appeal for honesty and scrupulousness in an area of life that is more often characterised by woolly thinking and dodgy self-justification. Reading it, I felt at times as I imagine a small fly might when it realises too late that it has wandered into the web of a very large and clever spider. Swift's web is expertly woven ... Swift has cauterised his subject with methodical ruthlessness and the feel of the blade slicing into flabby thinking is exhilarating. The result is an impassioned, timely plea for moral honesty and social responsibility.' - Rebecca Abrams, New Statesman'The debate over whether it is ethical to send children to private schools has been re-ignited by a contoversial new book by an Oxford academic.' - The Oxford Times

How Not to be a Hypocrite

From the reviews:

"An increasingly important technique used by basic scientists to understand brain development and function is theoretical/computational modeling. … Computational Maps in the Visual Cortex provides a good review of this area, though strongly emphasizing the models developed over the past several years by Miikkulainen’s group in the Computer Science department at the University of Texas. … the book will be a useful reference for researchers interested in theoretical approaches for understanding certain properties of the visual cortex." (Geoffrey J. Goodhill, Clinical Experimental Ophthalmology, Issue 34, 2006)
"The hardcover book of 24.2×16.3×3 cm size presents a comprehensive, unified computational theory of the visual cortex as a laterally connected self-organizing map … . All chapters are clearly structured and well written. With more than 170 figures, 47 in full color, the chapters are richly illustrated. … The book is written for computational scientists and neuroscientists working in the field of the visual cortex. The book will be a valuable complement to every scientific library." (R. M. Müri, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 245, 2007)
