"In this book [Beaumont]turns her attention to mortal children, using Athens’s rich visual culture to understand childhood in its socio-historical context. Beaumont’s work is an important contribution to the field of ancient childhood and is notable for its broad scope and the way she brings together the iconography with the historical and archaeological evidence. The book also contains a large number of high-quality black and white images that supplement the text well.... an authoritative and comprehensive book on Athenian iconography as evidence of the perceptions of childhood and experiences of children." - Katherine V. Huntley, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"Beaumont’s approach, dealing not merely with representations of children but drawing on archaeological and literary evidence, succeeds in producing a comprehensive study of the perception of children in Classical Athenian art...this authoritative account will surely become a standard work of reference, and Beaumont’s proposed study of adolescents in ancient Athens is awaited with great interest." - Georgina Muskett, Childhood in the Past: An International Journal 
"Lesley Beaumont’s book examines "the iconography of childhood from birth through the whole prepubertal. phase of life as presented by Athenian two- and three-dimensional figured art produced between the late seventh and the late fourth century B.C." (207)… furnished with 120 illustrations and generous references to both ancient literary evidence and modern scholarship, it will immediately become a standard starting-point for discussions of the artistic representation of Athenian children." – Mark Golden, Phoenix

Praise for House Industries:&#160;"If there were any place I wish I worked that I don't, it's House. They're artists; their work is extraordinary." --J. J. Abrams"What I love about House Industries is that they search through corners of culture for something valuable that you'd never thought of before, then raise it to a higher artistic level. It's a very difficult thing to do." --Shepard Fairey"[House] makes all the best typefaces." --David Lee Roth

"… very comprehensive, covering basic to advanced topics with MATLAB®-based examples throughout. Engineering students will particularly find the book very useful to understand the signals and systems theories and practices that underpin modern communication systems."—Dr. Rishad Shafik, School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, UK
"The main strength of the proposed book is the emphasis on involving readers Matlab examples and use of Matlab as an integrated teaching tool. It is probably the first book in this area that provides such a good usage of Matlab for class instructions."—Dr. Tadeusz A Wysocki, University of Nebraska – Lincoln"All students are lost among the equations after a while, when they first take a signals and systems course. … For its MATLAB integrated approach, I would adopt the book."—Özgül SALOR, Dept. of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Gazi University"… I must confess I was greatly impressed. The treatment appears to be very comprehensive and the book should fill many gaps in the market."—William Coffey, Trinity College Dublin

“Everyone experiences grief at some point in life, even if it’s from a distance. It can be difficult to know how to practically walk alongside someone who has lost a child or loved one. In Victorious Heart, Kim Peacock relays her personal journey of her daughter’s death, and her raw honesty and brave testimony give us a road map for thriving despite pain or tragic circumstance. Her “Grief Notes”interspersed through the book provide practical tips for moving through the grief process while her “Love Them Well” notations teach others how to love and minister to those experiencing deep loss. Both are equally helpful and insightful. Victorious Heart isn’t a memoir of sorrow, but rather a story of strength, love and hope.”Sarah Beckman, Speaker, and Author of Alongside, and Hope in the Hard Places

"This ambitious, engaging volume makes an adolescent-wise, evidence-based, and very compelling case for group arts therapies—art, music, drama, dance/movement, play, and writing—as a preferred treatment for some of the toughest customers around: reluctant, disconnected, and dysregulated teens. Descriptive chapters include attention to theory and development, lively interventions, practical tips, vivid case vignettes, and—best of all— candid reflections from practitioners on the humor, flexibility and self-awareness they rely on to get energy back on the rails when a group session appears to be headed for the hills. This book offers a window into the innovative arts-based world of group treatment, beyond the confines of individual talk therapy, where distressed and challenging adolescents can connect to their hearts, to peers, and to competent, caring, creative adults." 

Martha B. Straus, PhD, professor of clinical psychology, Antioch University New England; author, Treating Trauma in Adolescents: Development, Attachment, and the Therapeutic Relationship

"Haen and Boyd Webb have assembled an impressive team of international creative arts therapists to add to the literature an academic text on group therapy with teens, which includes chapters on complex neurobiological aspects of group work, to the symphonic healing melodies afforded through music therapy. Highly recommended!"

&ldquo;This book is truly awesome! Bill Treasurer has stolen courage from the gods and brought it to the workplace, where it is desperately needed. Everyone in a leadership role should put this book on the must-read list. After reading it, you may find the courage to buy a copy for your boss!&rdquo;  &mdash;Chip Bell, coauthor of Customer Loyalty Guaranteed  &#160; &ldquo;Courage is the first and most important component of success in business. Without it, there is nothing more than mediocrity and boredom. Bill Treasurer captures this awareness in his book and instructs us in making sure we&rsquo;re not overlooking that important aspect of fulfillment and success in our working life. Have the courage to leap, he says, even from dizzying heights. The water will embrace you and reward you. He knows&mdash;he&rsquo;s been there.&rdquo;  &mdash;David Ryback, coauthor of Psychology of Champions &#160; &ldquo;Even for people who are full of courage, instilling courage in others can be a daunting task. As someone who knows a thing or two about courage, I found this book is an invaluable tool every manager can and should use. The only thing worse than the quagmire of an office locked in comfort or fear is a manager too afraid to do something about it!&rdquo;  &mdash;Dustin Webster, seven-time world cliff diving champion and Red Bull announcer &#160; &ldquo;Whenever I&rsquo;m feeling a bit chicken, I need only pick up Bill&rsquo;s new book, Courage Goes to Work, and my own courage starts to rally. By the time I&rsquo;m finished reading, I&rsquo;m feeling like an eagle&mdash;ready to fly high and take on any challenge!&rdquo;  &mdash;BJ Gallagher, coauthor of A Peacock in the Land of Penguins &#160; &ldquo;You will not find a more clear voice on courage than Bill Treasurer&rsquo;s. Like Bill, I have worked for over a decade exploring courage in the high-risk realm of leader-follower relations with senior political figures and management teams. I do a good job of this at a foundational level. Bill&rsquo;s work is the graduate program. Let him guide you to the heights where your life and work become extraordinary&mdash;because you understand your fear and that of others and bring out the courage in each.&rdquo;  &mdash;Ira Chaleff, author of The Courageous Follower  &#160; &ldquo;Bill Treasurer brings a true blend of wisdom, compassion, and personal experience to the understanding of courage and brings a practical approach to giving people the courage to stretch themselves and achieve great results.

This powerful book shows you how to instill more and more courage and confidence in every person, releasing personal potential you didn&rsquo;t know you had available.&rdquo;  &mdash;Brian Tracy, author of Eat That Frog! and Goals! &#160; &ldquo;Most of us take our minds to work but leave courage at the door. In this compelling book, Bill Treasurer provides three nourishing lunch buckets to take to work every day: try courage, trust courage, and tell courage. In doing so, you&rsquo;ll have all you need to be a better person and a better leader.&rdquo;  &mdash;Dick Axelrod, author of Terms of Engagement &#160; &ldquo;Though not to be compared with the courage tested on battlefields, courage is the oft-missing element in today&rsquo;s work environments. In Courage Goes to Work, Bill shows how the same visceral emotion that leads some to great acts of heroism can also be channeled to transforming the job of a 21st-century middle manager. Bill has found a simple language that any leader can use to reinforce the behaviors we need in our teams: be willing to try new things, trust your teammates, and tell me when you have a good idea (or I have a bad one). We have found this book so practical that we have shared it with over two hundred of our managers and frontline leaders.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Wallace, Learning and Development Manager, Total American Services &#160; &ldquo;Fear is the greatest threat to innovation, leadership, and growth in any organization. Courage Goes to Work provides a practical framework for overcoming it by emboldening people to engage in the braver conversations, be more decisive amid the uncertainty, and take the psychological risks required to forge new ground and inspire the best in others.

Bill Treasurer puts the perfect spotlight on the vital role of courage in the workplace, with vivid stories and examples. At Armstrong Flooring, we used the concepts from the book to help us increase the level of courage across our workforce. As a result, every few days I learn about a courageous act that someone took to add value to our business. In other words, the concepts work!&rdquo;  &mdash;Lori Guiseppe, Organizational Development Manager, Armstrong Flooring &#160; &ldquo;Courage isn&rsquo;t just for high-divers!

&ldquo;Diversity Beyond Lip Service makes a good read for all concerned with the question of human training, leadership development, and organizational change. It challenges us to think about diversity in more concrete ways to ensure transformative change in organizational leadership and within institutional structures. At the heart of diversity is addressing the power and structural issues of critical engagement of ideas, beliefs, practices, and social action. The book&rsquo;s major strength is the focus on concrete and actionable practices to realize the hopes and dreams of genuine inclusion and diversity.&rdquo;  &mdash;George J. Sefa Dei, Professor of Social Justice Education, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, and Fellow, Royal Society of Canada &#160; &ldquo;Diversity Beyond Lip Service: A Coaching Guide for Challenging Bias provides a clear, powerful guide through what a growing number of us in the coaching profession believe is imperative to our survival and relevance as a profession. To provide the service to our clients that we claim, we must do our own work to become aware of our personal and organizational blind spots and biases in the complex realm of diversity and inclusion. Through many powerful examples, and with a very calm, incontrovertible voice, La&rsquo;Wana Harris has made the intersection between coaching and inclusion work crystal clear. Bravo!&rdquo;  &mdash;Halli MacNab, PCC, President, Association of Coach Training Organizations, and C.O.O., Accomplishment Coaching &#160; &ldquo;La&rsquo;Wana Harris has opened this coach&rsquo;s eyes to the power of coaching practices to create new paths for diversity and inclusion work&mdash;whether or not you are formally trained as a coach.

La&rsquo;Wana Harris demonstrates how we can use a coaching approach in conversations to help people courageously recognize when they have acted out of judgment, power, and privilege. We don&rsquo;t need to be told to be more inclusive; we need people who help make awareness and inclusion a conscious choice, even when the conversations feel uncomfortable. All leaders, coaches, and people who care about healing the divisiveness in the workplace and the world should practice what they learn from this book.&rdquo;  &mdash;Marcia Reynolds, board member and past Global President, International Coach Federation, and author of&#160;The Discomfort Zone

&ldquo;Reading Mandelbaum&rsquo;s extraordinary translation, one imagines Ovid in his darkest moods with the heart of Baudelaire . . . Mandelbaum&rsquo;s translation is brilliant. It throws off the stiff and mild homogeneity of former translations and exposes the vivid colors of mockery, laughter, and poison woven so beautifully by the master.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist&#160;&ldquo;Mandelbaum&rsquo;s Ovid, like his Dante, is unlikely to be equalled for years to come.&rdquo; &mdash;Bloomsbury Review&#160;&ldquo;The Metamorphoses is conceived on the grandest possible scale . . . The number and variety of the metamorphoses are stunning: gods and goddesses, heroes and nymphs, mortal men and women are changed into wolves and bears, frogs and pigs, bulls and cows, deer and birds, trees and flowers, rocks and rivers, spiders and snakes, mountains and stars, while ships become sea nymphs, ants and stones and statues become people, men become women and vice versa . . .
