New York Times Book Review (David Gergen):&#160;&#160;"Would Barack Obama have been elected president without David Axelrod? That question is less far-fetched than it may seem... what emerges is important: a portrait of political campaigning that is more like what we hope than what we fear, that rises above the machinations and muck... a stout defense--indeed, the best I have read--of the Obama years... Judging from his first book, Obama has the talent to write the best presidential memoir in modern tunes. It is worth waiting for. But for now, David Axelrod has written a highly readable, uplifting account of the candidate he loves--and, reassuringly, has shown politics can still be a calling, not a business."The Los Angeles Times:&#160;"Axelrod, liberated from the constraints of messaging, is warm and wry, loyal to Obama without being uncritical, and occasionally acid in his appraisals of others &mdash; now-Secretary of State John Kerry, political consultant Mark Penn and former Sen. John Edwards will not be among this book's biggest fans. It helps that Axelrod can write. A journalist before he was a political consultant, his book is revealing... but best of all, it is well told &mdash; the work of a capable, professional storyteller."The Economist"Mr Axelrod has uncommon insights to offer."New York Times"The three dominant characters in this political memoir by David Axelrod, one of the Democratic Party&rsquo;s best-known strategists, are Mr. Axelrod, his once-in-a-lifetime client Barack Obama and belief...&#160;Believer is a well-written and often moving account of how a committed liberal measures his principles against the bruising imperatives of high-stakes politics. And, it should be noted, there is ample juice in Mr. Axelrod&rsquo;s literary steak."Chicago Tribune:&#160;&ldquo;For sure, political junkies will have trouble putting the book down. And much of Washington will be yanking "Believer" off the shelf and turning to the index to see how they were treated&hellip;if you're interested in how the sausage is made, you'll want to read this book.&rdquo;DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN, author of The Bully Pulpit and Team of Rivals&ldquo;Beautifully written with warmth, humor, and remarkable self-awareness, Believer is one of the finest political memoirs I have ever read. Through one memorable anecdote after another, Axelrod tells a revealing and moving story of his long and honorable career in public life. This is a thoroughly terrific book.&rdquo;DEVAL PATRICK, governor of Massachusetts&ldquo;In telling the vivid tales of his own forty years behind the curtain of modern politics, Axelrod reminds us that elections matter to those who don&rsquo;t engage as well as those who do, effectively challenging us all to get involved.&rdquo;MIKE MURPHY, Republican strategist&ldquo;David Axelrod has written a remarkable book, a deeply honest and unflinching memoir of his journey from cub journalist to political adviser to the President of the United States. From the boisterous wards of Chicago politics to the Oval Office, Believer takes you inside the political warrior&rsquo;s life, with its larger-than-life personalities, exhilarating victories, and gut-wrenching defeats. For Axelrod, the goal is victory, but the enemy is cynicism. Anybody, Democrat or Republican, who loves politics should read this book.&rdquo;GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, chief anchor of ABC News&ldquo;David Axelrod was present at the creation of President Obama&rsquo;s political career. He reflects on their improbable journey with the faithfulness of a reporter, the ferocity of a political operative, and the passion of a true believer. A riveting read.&rdquo;

“The book under review consists of eight chapters, each introducing techniques for solving problems on manifolds and illustrating these with examples. … reading this book would add to my collection of tools for working with data on manifolds and expose me to new problems treatable by these tools. … In each case an effort has been made to provide enough of the underlying theory supporting the techniques, with explicit references where the interested reader can go for further details.” (Tim Zajic, IAPR Newsletter, Vol. 39 (3), July, 2017)

“This well-presented book is furnished throughout with illustrations, as well as an appendix detailing Scottish theatrical adaptations. Cano’s monograph is both accessible and scholarly, making it perfect for the academic and casual reader alike.” (Forum for Modern Language Studies, Vol. 54 (2), April, 2019)“Cano’s pioneering book breaks new ground, offering fascinating, insightful, and unique material that should prove to be of interest to the general reader as well as to specialists in the field. … Furthermore, it explores the political connotations of Austen’s works in the twentieth century and is the initial book to include a survey and consideration of Austen fans in the twenty-first century.” (Glenda Hudson, International Journal of English Studies, Vol. 17 (2), 2017)“The book looks at different periods and movements in the 20th century that have taken quotations and themes from her novels and aspects of her life to identify with their ideals, needs and aspirations. … The book is clearly written and well organised. ... there is much to interest the general reader.” (Pamela Whalan, Sensibilities, Vol. 55, December, 2017)

“This book is a short exposition of important material in the field of mathematics and music. It describes a number of topics to which Amiot has contributed significant research. ... This book should prove to be a real delight for aficionados of mathematics and music. It contains a wealth of important material and is certain to drive further investigations in this fascinating interdisciplinary field.” (James Stephan Walker, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2018)“Amiot’s nice book gives the state of the art in the usage of DFT of abstract musical structures such as rhythms, scales, chords, pitch class distributions, and so on. … This is possibly the first textbook on the topic. … The target readership includes graduates and advanced undergraduates of computational music science and engineering. Researchers in music should also find it of interest.” (Soubhik Chakraborty, Computing Reviews, May, 2017)

"The topic addressed by this book is an important one both practically and theoretically....This book provides a relatively easy introduction to the relativist view that mathematical systems are culturally constructed rather than objectively real."&#8212;The British Journal of Educational Psychology"I found this book to be an excellent catalyst for furthering my own understanding as well as my graduate students' understanding of mathematical reasoning. A collection of thoughtful articles challenged us to reconsider the nature of mathematics and mathematical thought."&#8212;Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School"Together, the contributed articles form a rich and provocative collection, challenging some widely held ideas. They deserve careful reading by psychologists, mathematics educators, and philosophers of mathematics. Lyn English has done an outstanding job organizing varied viewpoints into a volume that is readable and well structured."&#8212;Contemporary Psychology

“Given the rapid advances in the field of nuclear
receptor research, especially their role in cell proliferation, metabolism, and
homeostasis, which make them prime targets for a wide range of diseases such as
cancer and metabolic diseases, this book does an excellent job of covering
their structure and function and translational opportunities for drug
discovery. … The book targets students, scientists, and other clinicians such
as oncologists and endocrinologists interested in the field of nuclear
receptors.” (Omer Iqbal, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2015)
