"Eznack's path-breaking book points to new ways of studying crises and state behavior in the transatlantic order by showing convincingly how affect has stabilized the North Atlantic Alliance in the past through processes of 'relational repair.' Written with remarkable theoretical clarity and graceful style, Crises in the Atlantic Alliance is a must-read for anyone interested in the power of emotions and a timely and valuable contribution to a nascent 'emotional turn' in International Relations." - Simon Koschut, assistant professor of International Studies, University of Erlangen, Nuremberg

"Mats Larsson has written an important book with wide scope and a precise message we must organise for a potentially dire future. It is a future without enough energy if we continue to pretend it is OK to do 'business as usual'. His important insight is that we, globally, must develop new organisational capacities to manage massive change if we are to survive. A must read!" -John Kidd, Research Fellow, Aston Business School

“The editors did a good job in compiling and structuring this impressive collection. The volume exhibits a good balance between papers that tackle general aspects of agent-based modelling and very specific papers that exemplify the power of ABMs. I am sure this book will become an important milestone along the road of advancement of ABMs in population studies.” (Thomas Fent, European Journal of Population, Vol. 33, 2017)

Agent-Based Modelling in Population Studies

'Using the career of anthropologist Gordon 'Grover' Sanders Krantz as a focal point, Regal explores the work and lives of the professional scientists ('eggheads') and amateur naturalists ('crackpots') who considered the possibility of Sasquatch and other 'manlike monsters' to be anomalous primates, as opposed to relics of regional folklore. Recommended.' CHOICE

'This excellent and fascinating book is not just about scientists searching for monsters, but others, called 'amateur naturalists' that are looking and doing field work as well. This book is a rare and insightful look by an academic who writes and thinks well.' Bigfoot Times

'This is a book not about Sasquatch, but about the men who spent their lives searching for it. Brian Regal's fast-moving narrative uncovers the complex relationships within and between the amateur enthusiasts and the small number of professional scientists who took the monster seriously. Regal opens a window onto the psychology and sociology of monster-hunting and has provided a valuable case study in the relationship between science and popular culture.' Peter Bowler, Professor of History of Science, School of History and Anthropology, Queen's University Belfast

'Searching for tangible evidence of elusive monsters has a long tradition among naturalists, highly trained scientists, adventurers, and charlatans. In this fascinating book, Brian Regal explores the many sides to 'monster-hunting,' or cryptobiology, through a case study of anthropologist Gordon 'Grover' Krantz's search for Sasquatch. Regal has skillfully used Krantz's career to raise a number of significant issues for the history of science, most important, what is the nature of evidence in science itself and how is its legitimacy negotiated.' Garland E. Allen, Department of Biology, Washington University in St. Louis

'The Yeti, Sasquatch, and the Minnesota Iceman take a back seat in this lively and engaging book which shows us that far more interesting, surprising, and bizarre than these mythical monsters may be are the many naturalists, both amateur and professional, who strove to make a legitimate science out of their study.' Vassiliki Betty Smocovitis, Professor, History of Science, University of Florida

'A unique and remarkable work that highlights the people involved in the search for unknown primates. A fount of information on many characters about whom I knew little or nothing. Brian Regal has created a valuable, historic and highly readable tome.' Richard Freeman, Zoological Director, Centre for Fortean Zoology, UK

'Sasquatch has always been a creature of the margins half-human, half-beast; authentic and plastic; science and nonsense. In this incisive and often funny book, Brian Regal shows how the beast also stood between professional scientists and amateurs, and how debates about Sasquatch were simultaneously attempts to define the complicated relationship between these two groups.' Joshua Blu Buhs, author of Bigfoot: The Life and Times of a Legend

“Rooted in the history of critiques of the DSM while also touching on current issues and approaches to diagnosis, Psychiatric Diagnosis Revisited’s push to move beyond mere classification as the final outcome of the diagnostic process and to enrich diagnosis with case formulation will resonate with anyone who has wrestled with the inadequacies the current DSM-based diagnostic system.” (Sarah Karalunas, Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Vol. 57 (3), March, 2018)“The latest publication … provides an alternative diagnostic approach for clinicians working in the ‘psy-disciplines’ via clinical case formulation. … a thought provoking book relevant to a broad range of theorists, academic and clinicians interested in both the scientific / epistemological status of DSM and to clinical practice. … Vanheule’s book makes the case for an evidence based practice where more time – for both direct clinical contact and case formulation practice – is a necessary condition for best clinical practice.” (Alessandro Musetti, Frontiers in Psychology, journal.frontiersin.org, June, 2017)“This book … is rigorously developed, authentic and open, and balanced in terms of taking the contextual perspective of the other as starting point. The case formulation approach is particularly suitable in the area of psychosis … counterbalancing the toxic effects of the schizophrenia diagnosis and the meaning&nbsp;of devastating brain disease that has become associated with it. I would recommend it to all looking for a respectful and informative way to describe mental distress in the context of psychosis.” (Jim van Os, Psychosis, Vol. 19 (2), May, 2017)

An Evidence-Based Approach for Practitioners

Helping Couples Cope with Women's Cancers

Winterdyk has accomplished a remarkable milestone in editing a collection of the most exciting contributions to crime prevention in recent years. This is an outstanding collection of readings by internationally distinguished scholars on a wide variety of crime prevention issues. Students and practitioners alike will benefit by having these chapters together in a single volume. As for policymakers, the book should be required reading. -- Georgios A. Antonopoulos, Teesside University
This latest work by Winterdyk belongs to, and at the same time stands out from, the larger tradition of his scholarly work. The merit of the synoptic approach covering the four corners of crime prevention issues lies in the implicit assumption of a constructivist perspective, and profoundly invites policymakers to leave behind any narrow and limiting understanding of crime prevention. In editing an impressive and diverse collection of work on crime prevention, Winterdyk provides the basis for a holistic perspective. Much of this text could/should become required reading for students of criminal justice at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) and beyond. – Stefan Schulz, Namibia University of Science and Technology
The contributors to this anthology shift the discussion about crime from its traditional focus on control to prevention, using examples from across the globe. The contributors provide a wealth of information and insight into crime prevention organized around three themes: a global overview of the challenges of implementing these strategies, the prevention of specific crimes (from child abuse to terrorism), and how prevention fits in the crime management discourse. Winterdyk has done a remarkable job of bringing these experts and scholars together to present a topical/issues-oriented approach that is supported by learning outcomes and critical questions. –Professor Rick Ruddell, Law Foundation of Saskatchewan Chair in Police Studies, University of Regina
