"This Manual of Clinical Phonetics is an impressive collection of chapters authored by distinguished scholars from various fields of phonetic sciences. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of phonetics, capturing its inter- and multidisciplinary nature, it offers valuable insight into state-of-the-art instrumental techniques in clinical phonetics and gives phonetic transcription the attention it deserves, particularly in studying disordered speech."— Professor Vesna Mildner, University of Zagreb, Croatia
"The Manual of Clinical Phonetics presents work by experts and influential researchers, communicating key concepts in clear language while drawing on cutting-edge research to convey the direction of travel for the next decade and more. The breadth of topics presented in four well-organized parts, is comprehensive. What’s more, this manual pairs the core of the field (the foundations of clinical phonetics and phonetic transcription) with welcome explorations of variation. The manual also features a host of in-depth treatments of instrumentation, facilitating insightful quantitative and qualitative analyses." — Professor James Scobbie, Queen Margaret University, Scotland
"This volume skillfully infuses a clinical perspective throughout comprehensive coverage of the science of phonetics. It is distinguished by extensive content in the area of instrumentation, including cutting-edge technologies like real-time MRI and automatic speech recognition. The choice to place multicultural and multilingual influences on phonetics at the forefront marks this volume as an essential collection for the modern scholar of clinical linguistics." — Dr Tara McAllister, New York University Steinhardt, USA

"David Clemenson's Descartes' Theory of Ideas is a welcome addition to the recent literature placing Descartes in the context of the final days of scholasticism ... a significant contribution to our understanding of the scholastic background and context in which Descartes wrote ... Clemenson has written a book that will be invaluable to anyone working on Descartes, as well as to those working on late scholastic thought and its relation to modern philosophy. His interpretation of Descartes (DPT), as we have seen, is incredibly provocative and will generate much discussion among scholars. Clemenson's knowledge and treatment of the relevant texts, both the obvious and the utterly obscure, is carefully presented, and his discussion of the technical late scholastic texts is clear without being pedantic."

'This fantastic book marks a significant addition to the conceptual and theoretical tools for analysing contemporary human mobility. Through an analysis of migration/movement and labour/active life, Tataryn explores how our coming together in a shared world is not only governed but shaped through nation states, markets, and law. She demonstrates how labour migration helps us better understand and imagine contemporary socialities and goes beyond critique to open up new possibilities for imagining ways of being together in the world. Migration needs new thinking, and this is what this book gives us.'
– Bridget Anderson, Professor of Migration, Mobilities and Citizenship, University of Bristol ,UK

'A new light is shed on labour migration with this book. Through Jean Luc Nancy’s work on ecotechnics, Tataryn links the political dimension of migration with geopolitical, technological, legal, philosophical, and broadly understood ecological concepts, and allows us to imagine a new material and embodied way of conceptualising migration and thereby resisting easy neoliberal constructions. It shows how migration is not an isolated phenomenon but the inescapable sense of our ontological condition. This is a profoundly topical book, unapologetically putting labour migration at the forefront of the contemporary global political move to the right, and offering strategies of resistance that question the usual preponderance of the market, the nation-state and the law. Migration is no longer a problem to be solved but an onto-epistemic plurality of flows.'
–Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos, Professor of Law & Theory, University of Westminster, UK

"Built Up reminds the real estate industry that the foundations of its private development activities were very concerned with creating public space and amenities for the benefit of the communities as well as the financial success of their buildings. I know our young professionals in Project Destined will be inspired and encouraged in achieving more equitable outcomes." –Cedric Bobo, Co-Founder, Project Destined

"Real estate development, we like to believe, is a greedy affair. Patrice Derrington argues that it doesn’t have to be that way, proposing a model that takes into account values beyond the immediate financial gains. Built Up is an indispensable book for anyone interested in what drives the production of our built environment and a much-needed theoretical framework to overturn ‘business as usual.’" –Reinier de Graaf, Partner, Office for Metropolitan Architecture

"Built Up has given me a lot of inspiration for my upcoming projects." –Daryl Ng, Deputy Chairman, Sino Group

"We shape our built environment, and it then shapes us. Shaping our built environment is the work of real estate developers. Great spaces are not defined by ordinary folk. Patrice Derrington tells many vivid tales as she helps us understand our cities and ourselves. This is the rare book that is both deeply incisive and great fun." –Larry Summers, President Emeritus, Harvard University

"Twenty-first-century real estate development often devolves into a painful clash of wills between entrepreneurs and the public realm. In her magnum opus, Built Up, Patrice Derrington gives this vital sector a history, starting with the ancient Greeks and proceeding in depth through the origins of speculative development in seventeenth-century England. Even in distant times, real estate developers were colorful characters. With this sure to be influential text, current land use struggles are reframed and alternatives for re-imagining them posited. Derrington shows us how the practice of real estate in the past can point to new approaches going forward." –Mary Ann Tighe, CEO, NY Tri-State Region CBRE
"…[F]ills an academic gap…[and]…provides guidance for dismantling and improving current practice—a boon for both students and professionals involved in the creation of the built environment." –Architectural Record

A groundhog mutiny! Will Phil's shadow ever return? Phil Groundhog is so fast the only thing that can keep up with him is his shadow. When he was little, doing everything together was fun for both of them. But now that Phil's grown up, he's left behind childish things, carrying a briefcase and wearing a tie. "Shadow, not so much." When Phil plays the accordion, Shadow wails out on a trumpet, not always on key. At a nice restaurant, Shadow fills the air with burps. Finally, Phil loses his temper and tells his shadow to "just go away!" Shadow is crushed, then angry, then realizes that he's always wanted to travel; off he goes. But while Shadow is checking out the pyramids, Phil is searching high and low to find him. He posts signs and puts an ad in the newspaper, to no avail. One day Phil sees an article about a mysterious shadow near the Eiffel Tower. Meanwhile, after all the initial excitement, Shadow realizes that he's lonely too. Phil and Shadow find each other for a buoyant musical reunion, Phil on accordion and the shadow on trumpet. Biedrzycki's fable on friendship comes to hilarious life with his bold, colorful, loopy illustrations, done in Adobe Photoshop. His judicious mix of panels and full-bleed spreads expertly controls the book's pacing. Delightful.- Kirkus ReviewsPunxsutawney resident Phil, a furry brown groundhog, and his shadow have been constant companions but are growing apart, both in terms of personal proclivities ("Phil loved scary movies. Shadow, not so much") and all-around outlook ("Phil liked to be on time. Shadow liked to stop and smell the roses"). Biedrzycki (Breaking News: Bears to the Rescue) maximizes the differences between Phil and Shadow by giving the groundhog and his fellow animals an almost three-dimensional roundness, setting them in a carefully detailed and brightly colored world. Shadow, meanwhile, is rendered in flat, fuzzy-edged, gray-blue silhouettes, though that doesn't stop him from flirting with a rabbit on the subway or letting loose a giant burp while Phil quietly eats dinner. After matters come to a head, Shadow decamps to explore the world, eventually leading a remorseful Phil to seek out his absent companion. The somewhat drawn-out story can seem more like a platform for Biedrzycki's comic vignettes of Shadow's outsize behavior, but the Groundhog Day references are kept to a minimum, making this a story that could be enjoyed any time of year.- Publishers Weekly

"There is an anthropology of art and art-making, just as there is an anthropology that is art, butting at the crabby distinctions separating art from science. This book raises the wonderful specter of having the two combine forces to the benefit of both art and anthropology. A treat! - Michael Taussig, Columbia University

Crossing borders between academic disciplines -- being eclectic in methodologies of research and representation -- we more nearly approach the complex singularity of the human. This volume amply demonstrates the cross-disciplinary potential; refusing the confinements of categorical identities, Schneider, Wright and colleagues make manifest the creativity behind 'social science' and 'art' alike. - Nigel Rapport, Concordia University

Drawing on some of the most interesting of contemporary anthropologists, this book extends the critiques of 'writing culture' and the new anthropologiesof art by suggesting collaborative possibilities that, it is to be hoped, provide a new horizon for the next generation of practitioners. It was a pleasure to read the unexpected forays in themselves and in the context of this well-crafted project. - Fred Myers, New York University

'Contemporary Art and Anthropology' provides a major pioneering step towards bridging the two areas of practice achieved through seeking areas of overlap. This approach not onlyprovides a useful framework for artists and anthropologists alike, but also opens up a dialogue between the two disciplines and sets the stage for future experimental work. - Terence Wright, University of Ulster

'Contemporary Art and Anthropology' takes a new and exciting approach to representational practices within contemporary art and anthropology. - visualanthropology.net

This is the value of 'Contemporary Art and Anthropology': it suggests possibilities and encourages experimental juxtapositions while actively calling for an expanding dialogue. It is a stimulating text that will be of interest to artists, museum and gallery professionals, and the general reader. - Journal of Museum Ethnography

'Contemporary Art and Anthropology' is a consistently exciting and varied book. Its pictures and text open up new and unsual vistas. - Zeitschrift fuer Ethnologie"
