Occasional kindnesses and acts of genuine compassion soften the impact of the neglect, cruelty, and betrayal Bully negotiates in this gut-wrenching, gripping debut.&#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred review)There's no denying that Byrne can write hard-core action that keeps the pages turning...Boy and dog make a redoubtable, memorable team.&#8212;Kirkus ReviewsAn intriguing tale of survival and perseverance that will appeal to fans of Gary Paulsen&#8217;s Hatchet and Jerry Spinelli&#8217;s Maniac Magee...A stirring, adrenaline-laced tale of endurance that will resonate with young bibliophiles.&#8212;School Library JournalThis first novel is grim and brutal, yet still offers a sliver of hope for Bully and his future.&#8212;Booklist OnlineThis contemporary fiction is a thriller to the end with strong characterization and nail-biting scenes leading up to Bully&#8217;s final achievement: finding a family to love him. English teacher Michael Byrne&#8217;s debut title will appeal to readers who love action-packed stories and may particularly appeal to reluctant readers.&#8212;School Library ConnectionThe urgency of Bully&#8217;s plight (underscored by a frequently appearing countdown of the remaining time before the ticket expires) and the suspenseful pursuit by greedy evildoers make this a grip- ping page-turner. Byrne doesn&#8217;t shy away from credibly portraying the multitude of hardships faced by a kid on the streets, and lowlife Janks is truly vicious (he not only kidnaps Bully but puts the injured Jack into a dogfight)...Fans of Cottrell Boyce&#8217;s Millions (BCCB 7/04) may find similar, if grittier, appeal in this nail-biter.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"What Morality Means by Kevin McCaffree breaks new ground in providing a scientific means for understanding the dynamics of morality. In very informal prose, the author reviews large literatures in physiology, zoology, neurology, experimental psychology and sociology, cognitive psychology, and anthropology. The goal is to offer a scientific way to analyze morality, but in the process of developing this approach, McCaffree pulls these fields together to present a unified conceptual approach to understanding morality from a sociological perspective. Nothing like this book has ever been written; and therefore, it is a must read for not only those interested in morality, per se, but for anyone interested in human beings and societies. The analysis is integrative and highly sophisticated, and yet, the writing style is so casual that it is easy to forget that one is reading a very profound analysis. Using the deceptively simple concept of 'perceptual overlap,' McCaffree outlines the conditions that increase or decrease this overlap; and from this deceptively simple idea, a whole new way of looking at morality from a scientific and sociological perspective emerges." - Jonathan H. Turner, University Professor, University of California, Riverside, USA

"There is no more important topic today than morality, the scientific study of which has only recently become acceptable as legitimate, indeed even possible. Most scientists and scholars approach morality as either a social and cultural phenomenon or as an evolutionary and biological characteristic. Kevin McCaffree is the first to integrate both approaches in a unified explanation for why we are moral, and this book will take its rightful place in the canon of great works on this great subject." - Michael Shermer, Publisher, Skeptic magazine; Presidential Fellow, Chapman University, USA; Monthly Columnist Scientific American; author of The Moral Arc (2015)

"This book convincingly argues that morality is central to the social sciences. Kevin McCaffree successfully places moral decision-making in the larger context of society and human evolutionary history.' - Frans B. M. de Waal, author of The Bonobo and the Atheist; C. H. Candler Professor of Psychology, Emory University;Director, Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center and Distinguished Professor, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands

"Drawing on original research with LGBT people in Serbia, Rhodes-Kubiak develops the notion of 'activist citizenship' to explore the particular history and political demands of a Serbian LGBT movement. Empirically grounded and theoretically rich, the book offers a significant and very timely contribution to sexuality studies and to sociological studies of social movements." - Sally Hines, Associate Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies and Director of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies, School of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Leeds, UK

"Rhodes-Kubiak has produced an innovative analysis of LGBT social movement protest and citizenship in Serbia. The world of LGBT politics in the former Yugoslavia is generally overlooked in studies of social movements in the region. Rhodes-Kubiak's work combines new data and insights on the origins, mobilization, and consequences of LGBT activism in repressive and conflict ridden circumstances with significant theoretical developments on the relationship between citizenship and activism. Based on meticulous fieldwork in Serbia the work is a major contribution to social movement studies, LGBT studies and the understanding of politics in the former Yugoslavia." - Paul Bagguley, Reader in Sociology, University of Leeds, UK

"Rhodes-Kubiak has given us the first in-depth academic analysis of the LGBT movement in Serbia, extending queer scholarship into one of the most challenging of European territories. This is essential reading for those concerned with LGBT politics in south-east Europe. There is a distinctive and useful focus on how the activism of individuals can commence prior to collective social movements developing, even in a context shaped by authoritarian nationalism." - Matthew Waites, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Glasgow, UK
