Transgender Rights: From Obama to Trump by Susan Gluck Mezey, is an expertly argued, thorough, and systematic analysis of the development and constraints of transgender rights in four domains: the workplace, schools, public facilities, and the Armed Services.
Law and Politics Book Review

This book offers a fascinating presentation of the important recognition of the rights of trans people to dignity and equality—and the enormous threats they face in the current administration. 
Lorie Chaiten, former Director of the Women's and Reproductive Rights Project of the ACLU of Illinois
This is an excellent, and much-needed, book. It contrasts the actions of the Obama and Trump administrations, diametrically opposed to each other with respect to the rights of transgender individuals. With thorough research and clear writing, this book will certainly appeal to those with professional or personal interests regarding transgender people. This text should also appeal to those who have scholarly interests related to executive policymaking, as Professor Mezey’s book illustrates the possibilities, and the limits, of policymaking that occurs outside the halls of Congress.
Barry Tadlock, Department of Political Science, Ohio University
Susan Mezey has again delivered a magisterial survey of the fight for LGBTQ rights in our nation's courts with a sweeping, up-to-date analysis of the legal battles waged by transgender people in states and localities and before federal tribunals. 
Patrick Egan, Department of Politics, New York University
Recommended. All readership levels.

From Obama to Trump

Transgender Rights

Elaine (Lainey) and Molly each have a story to tell in this dual perspective historical novel. One was orphaned in the years following World War I. The other is her daughter years later, who wants her mother to pay more attention to her and seeks to uncover her mother's secrets. In the middle of those two narratives is the story of Uncle Stephen, a Catholic school teacher, who prays for a boy with a tumor and it disappears--is Uncle Stephen a miracle worker? Lainey's tale begins in 1919, and Molly's perspective starts in 1955. McQuerry interweaves the folktale of 'Hansel and Gretel' throughout the plot. The identity of Uncle Stephen, and the nature of his 'miracle,' eventually paves the way for a surprise ending. While Catholicism has a major place in the story, it is not preachy or pushing for conversion. Chapter headings indicate who is narrating, which helps readers keep read track of the time period of each section. Teens will easily be engrossed in the lives and challenges of the protagonists as the novel progresses. The well-researched historical details help set the context of the tale. VERDICT A well-told story about family relationships and the importance of trust and truth-telling. A good choice for medium to large collections.--Jane Mouttet, Mesilla Valley Christian School, Las Cruces, NM

The concept is unusual but effective. I tried it this way every evening for a week, doing 3 or 4 easy puzzles before attempting some harder ones, and it worked beautifully. Edouard clearly invested a lot of time in selecting the examples. All in all, an enjoyable book of exercises that put me in a good mood for playing GM Matthew Sadler, New In Chess Magazine 05/2017 – 4 stars rated.  Edouard’s book is an advanced workbook for the ambitious improver. John Hartmann, CHESSLIFE 08.2017.

Anne Lee is a pioneer in the academic and professional exploration of research supervision. She has helped countless supervisors hone their skills and many more students understand the value of supervision. Notably, Anne has provided much needed definitional and theoretical clarity and her model is the dominant framework for understanding both the supervisory role and relationship. Her experience and wisdom are now available in the 2nd edition of this book, which now includes a separate guide for students.

"I have read several books of this nature aimed at classroom practitioners, but this one has a contemporary feel and includes references to current debates. It successfully articulates the need for research-informed practitioners and is another tool in the armoury of a profession that desperately needs to able to stand up to politicians." - Peter Ford, Schools Week

“This is a good book concerning the neurophysiology and psychophysics of somatosensation in animal models and humans. … The role of sensory processing in neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, and schizophrenia is complete. The cortical mapping using EEG, population recordings with fMRI, and grids is detailed. I recommend this book to neurophysiologists, psychiatrists, and psychophysicists especially. Students and sensory researchers will use this book in their work including human/animal experimentation.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, February, 2017)

"Dr George Lee’s experiences in Hong Kong and then as chief inspector in the Metropolitan Police together with a subsequent career in business and politics have given him a unique perspective on the culture of policing. His candour and compelling analysis of the temptations placed before police officers in modern day India and China provide a realistic test as to the efficacy and practicality of anti-corruption measures whether from within or outside the business of policing.　His own experiences are interwoven with impressive field work primarily focused on the frontline interaction with the public. While an important tool for those engaged in promoting integrity in law enforcement it contributes much to the wider debate on containing corruption."
Professor　Barry　Rider　OBE, Centre for Development Studies, Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK

"There is a much to commend in this original and path-breaking book. Investigating the police services of China and India poses many difficult challenges that would deter most researchers. But George Lee has risen triumphantly to the occasion. The richness and illuminating nature of his analysis are testament to his skills as a researcher, as well as to the rich insights he brings from his earlier career as a Chief Inspector in the Metropolitan Police."

Professor Robert Ash, SOAS China Institute, University of London, UK 

"Armed with experience gained from the streets of London and knowledge cultivated within the halls of Cambridge, Ex-Metropolitan Police Commander George Lee spearheaded this pioneer comparative study of policing in China vs. India, peppered with illumination and insights."

Wolfgang is an all-animal family first popularized on Greig's Instagram. The meaning of family is important to 12 animals who became one family through adoption. In order to fully acquaint readers with the members of this family, individual portraits of each animal and an amusing fact are presented in a double-page gallery at the beginning of the book. Family members include nine dogs, one rabbit, one pig, and one chicken Each animal has a quirky side that is visible through the illustrations, which digitally collage photographs of the animals onto cartoon backgrounds. It is obvious to readers that there is much love and acceptance in this book despite all of their differences. Readers see them milling around the kitchen together, making a bubbly mess while bathing, and engaging in movie night. Throughout the book, various ages, sizes, and abilities are depicted to represent a diverse family; graying muzzles indicate that several are of advanced years. All of the members of this family are loved, whether it is the old cocker that trips all of the other dogs, the big pig who eats all of the food, the deaf dog, or the blind dog. More a description of their imagined living circumstances than a story, the busy, amusing scenarios will endear these characters to readers. Jodi Picoult provides an afterword. A memorable and entertaining celebration of adoption. (Picture book. 5-7)
