'Virtuoso and indispensable resource on children's legal and human rights from the unique perspective of the African context.  This volume breaks new ground, firmly rooting the tragic and too familiar calamities of child hunger, displacement, AIDs, and violence in the surprisingly fresh terrain being cultivated to promote a vibrant child-rights agenda with specifically African solutions.' Bernardine Dohrn, Northwestern University School of Law, Chicago, US  'This book not only reflects the many problems African children are facing but also elaborates on the strong potential of child rights implementation illustrated with concrete examples. It provides a unique and comprehensive overview of the many aspects of the developments and experiences in furthering the respect for and the implementation of the rights of African children. A very welcome tool for practitioners, politicians and researchers in the field of children's rights in Africa.' Jaap E. Doek, Former chairperson (2001 - 2007) of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child  '...[this] book is very well conceived and rounded off. The contributions of an excellent pool of authors have been integrated and edited to read as parts of a whole. Children's Rights in Africa: A legal perspective is a path-breaking work. It is both an extremely useful source for lobbying and activism, and an indispensable starting point for research on children's rights in Africa.' African Human Rights Law Journal  '...packed with information and analysis not really available elsewhere...this is an important book. And it is important not just for those who advocate children's rights, but also for anyone with an interest in Africa, in the role of law, in culture, and in the many global problems which confront African Society (HIV/AIDS, poverty, war, child labour). It can be recommended as an excellent course book. I would expect to find it on reading lists everywhere.' International Journal of Children's Rights

"Nazia Mintz-Habib's fascinating study explores how, and in what circumstances, biofuel crops contribute to either perpetuating or alleviating poverty and food insecurity by considering the complex interactions among agricultural commodity and energy markets, climate change mitigation finance and farming communities." – Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Coordinator for Economic and Social Development, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
"This book provides a highly original application of the Institutional Feasibility framework to the analysis of developing countries' role within global value chains in primary commodities. It makes a valuable contribution to public policy and development studies." – Peter Nolan, Chong Hua Professor and Director, Centre of Development Studies, University of Cambridge, UK.

»Der neue Jugendroman vom ›Löcher‹ Autor Louis Sachar glänzt auch wieder durch den schrägen Humor. Zudem ist die Geschichte kurzweilig und spannend zu lesen. Kann deshalb auch gut den ›Lesemuffeln‹ empfohlen werden. Spaß beim Lesen dieser Lektüre ist auf alle Fälle garantiert.« BaZ Kompakt, 20.8.2015 

»[…] [Sachar] entspinnt einen fantastischen Umweltkrimi […]. Das macht Gänsehaut!« Berliner Zeitung, 7.11.2015

»Sachar gelingt ein packender Umweltkrimi, der Probleme nicht verharmlost, sondern zeigt, auf welchen Ebenen wie und warum entschieden wird. [...] [E]in lesenswertes Jugendbuch, das auf einfache Lösungen verzichtet, sondern mit schrägem Humor an manchen Stellen dem Schrecken trotzt und einen nicht ohne Hoffnung zurück ins wahre Leben entlässt.« Andrea Wanner, titel-kulturmagazin.net, 14.12.2015

»So heilsam können Katastrophen sein!« Augsburger Allgemeine, 4.11.2015

»Ein Thriller, in dem ein eiskalter und wildfremder Schrecken auch den Leser überkommt« ff-Das Südtiroler Wochenmagazin, 10.9.2015

»›Schlamm‹ hat mich von Anfang an begeistert, da die Spannung dauerhaft ziemlich hoch gehalten war.« Bela Thiele (12 Jahre), Süddeutsche Zeitung, 1.12.2015

»›Schlamm‹ ist aber ein echter Sachar: schräg, hintergründig, liebenswert, besonders – und ganz leise weise. […] Sacher erzählt vor diesem Stephen-King-tauglichen Horrorszenario eine leichte, nie seichte Geschichte über Freundschaft und Selbstfindung.« Helmuth Santler, Der Standard, 27.2.2016

»An exciting story of school life, friends, and bullies that becomes a quick meditation on the promise and dangers of modern science.«

‘This book is impressive in both the range and depth of coverage of key elements of personal finance. It is unusual to find a book that attempts to provide both academic and practical perspectives, and yet can still manage to be accessible to those with limited or expert knowledge in the topic. This book　will clearly benefit both undergraduate and postgraduate students of financial services,　but will also　benefit those who are　interested in learning more about the topic.’ — Steven Leonard, The University of the West of Scotland, UK
‘An essential text book on personal finance, dealing with the discipline in an innovative way… The style is lively and pithy, and will appeal both to the casual reader and to the undergraduate student studying at university or for professional exams. Topics are clearly laid out with relevant, topical case studies, activities and end of chapter questions. Hitherto little explored areas such as youth unemployment and getting help from your family and the impact of these on personal financial decisions adds a unique dimension to this book.’　— M. Shahid Nawaz, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK
‘This bookis a well written textbook that brings together all the essential components of financial planning in one place. It can also serve as a reference book for many to use at a later date when going through different stages of life as each life stage presents different needs and challenges’ — Dr Pushpa Wood ONZM, Director Westpac Massey Financial Education and Research Centre, Massey University, New Zealand.

'Although the military and academy instinctively butt horns, the teaching professionals in the military academies and advanced military schools are hard at work to infuse the humanities into a total education. The good news from this book is that we continue to live in a culture that values the individual - a vital notion for soldier, commander, and citizen.' Donald Anderson, Editor of War, Literature & the Arts  'The different perspectives that Higbee presents help the reader rethink the image of the military as a large, bureaucratic institution that never changes, deviates, or questions its procedures and standards. In fact, Higbee’s collection offers a gallery of people who show us that the military culture is adapting to higher education practices to improve its own training programs. The general lack of understanding of military culture makes this book relevant for everyone in higher education who works with or supports students who have military service... This book will be valuable to those who wish to increase their understanding of the military culture, customs, and mores from which student veterans come. This book is thus valuable for both civilian and military faculty. Both cultures need highly skilled faculty to effectively teach the leaders of tomorrow.' The Review of Higher Education  'This collection is a useful introduction to the world of cadet and professional military education, and many of its authors deliberately set out to deconstruct stereotypes they have encountered or perhaps once had themselves... Many of the authors do not shy away from criticism, and present a nuanced and complicated review of their experiences... this text is essential reading for those in the chain of command (in both Canada and the US) who remain less than supportive of broad-based education in both military academies and civilian universities as opposed to technical education or training, as well as their political overlords who approve funding for such programs.

… a treasure trove for anyone who is … interested in mathematics as a hobby, or as the target of proof automation or assistance. It could also be the basis for a crosscutting course in mathematics, based on seeing how one can apply a single proof technique across the field.— Simon Thompson in Computing News, May 2011
Gunderson started out collecting some induction problems for discrete math students and then couldn't stop himself, thereafter assembling more than 750 of the addictive things for this handbook and supplementing them with a grounding in theory and discussion of applications. He offers 500-plus complete solutions, and many of the other problems come with hints or references; unlike other treatments, this handbook treats the subject seriously and is not just a ‘collection of recipes’. It’s a book that will work well with most math or computing science courses, on a subject that pertains to graph theory, point set topology, elementary number theory, linear algebra, analysis, probability theory, geometry, group theory, and game theory, among many other topics.—SciTech Book News, February 2011
… a unique work … the ostensibly narrow subject of mathematical induction is carefully and systematically expounded, from its more elementary aspects to some quite sophisticated uses of the technique. This is done with a (very proper!) emphasis on solving problems by means of some form of induction or other … any of us who regularly teach the undergraduate course aimed at introducing mathematics majors to methods of proof quite simply need to own this book. … In this boot camp course, it is imperative that problems should be abundant, both in supply and variety, and should be capable of careful dissection. Gunderson hit[s] the mark on both counts … Gunderson’s discussions are evocative and thorough and can be appreciated by mathematicians of all sorts … [he] develop[s] the requisite surrounding material with great care, considerably enhancing the value of his book as a supplementary text for a huge number of courses, both at an undergraduate and graduate level … a very welcome addition to the literature …—MAA Reviews, December 2010
