From the reviews:"Presented in a clear and concise way as an introductory text and practical handbook, the book provides the basic physical phenomena governing underwater acoustical waves, propagation, reflection, target backscattering and noise. … It provides an overview of today’s applications, presenting the working principles of the various systems." (Oceanis, Vol. 27 (3-4), 2003)"This book is a general survey of Underwater Acoustics, intended to make the subject ‘as easily accessible as possible, with a clear emphasis on applications.’ In this the author has succeeded, with a wide variety of subjects presented with minimal derivation … . There is an emphasis on technology and on intuitive physical explanation … ." (Darrell R. Jackson, Journal of the Acoustic Society of America, Vol. 115 (2), February, 2004)"This is an exciting new scientific publication. It is timely and welcome … . Furthermore, it is up to date and readable. It is well researched, excellently published and ranks with earlier books in this discipline … . Many persons in the marine science field including acousticians, hydrographers, oceanographers, fisheries scientists, engineers, educators, students … and equipment manufacturers will benefit greatly by reading all or part of this text. The author is to be congratulated on his fine contribution … ." (Stephen B. MacPhee, International Hydrographic Review, Vol. 4 (2), 2003)From the reviews of the second edition:“This textbook is a good overview of most of the aspects of underwater acoustics. … it also includes a comprehensive list of references for those who want to delve deeper into any of the underwater acoustic topics. Overall the book is a good first textbook and first reference. It can be an effective textbook for an underwater acoustics elective course and will make a good reference for engineers who occasionally have to answer question or deal with issues related to underwater acoustics.” (J.

'The author knows the relevant literature extremely well and is also well acquainted with current debates and with theories on nationalism and nation-building. His knowledge of the subject, his insights and his judgements make [the book] very useful and intelligent reading.'Professor Peter Alter, German Historical Institute, London'... his evident familiarity with the current literature on nationalism is impressive, and his summaries of the arguments of major thinkers on the issue make his book a useful addition to the debate.'Journal of European Studies'... will take its place among the canon on nationalism.

The subtitle of Ivo van Hove: From Shakespeare to David Bowie suggests how widely [van Hove] has ranged to create theatre synthesizing realism and stylization to stimulate audiences into seeing classics of every kind with fresh eyes. And that subtitle doesn’t entirely capture the full range on display in this informative new collection assembled by theatre scholars Susan Bennett and Sonia Massai.

In contemporary European societies, the question of racism, linked to the politicisation of migration, is a major issue in social and political debate. The situation in countries as divergent as Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and various Scandinavian societies shows evidence of mounting racism and hostility to migrants. This book provides an overview of the processes that led to the present situation and explores some of the options for the future.

'A fascinating, well-documented ethnographic study of ritual trance,  sorcery and healing behavior among the Lungu people of northern Zambia. . . Willis' study has a unique twist -- he describes his own paranormal experiences. . .  This rather non-traditional ethnography should be a useful addition to anthropology collections in large academic libraries.'Library Journal'I cannot put it too strongly how important it is to publish this book, to correct the balance of ethnography to include the deeper levels of ritual that as yet fall outside the boundaries of 'science'.  Willis is one of the new breed of experiencing anthropologists, producing meticulously documented ethnography.  What the author has done during his fieldwork is to use his own deepest power, that of healing, for his field people.  This alone makes the book truly unique.  The book shows how he continually edged in his style and thinking towards the ways of the Lungu until he began to experience as they did.  In the
