"I have experienced GRCs in different roles for almost half a century and tried to embrace my experiences as a personal living methodology - albeit with some success. Many chapters of this book presented me with new challenges that in rather old age are forcing me to start reinventing myself once more, all over again!" --Gouranga P. Chattopadhyay, Emeritus Professor, Academy of Human Resource, Ahmedabad, India.
"This book holds no punches in its thoughtful exploration of some difficult issues and is bold in offering some solutions. It can be felt as a resounding clarion call to the community of practitioners and organisers of Group Relations Conferences to hold themselves to a higher standard, to work with and through the ambivalence and defences of the human condition and strive to do what we provide space for members to explore in the conferences in our gathering and dealing with each other". --Dr Leslie B. Brissett, Director of the Group Relations Programme, The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, London, UK.

"An extraordinarily vibrant book that's fueled by adrenaline-powered prose. . .&#160;A book that decisively establishes [D&iacute;az] as one of contemporary fiction's most distinctive and irresistible new voices."&#160;&mdash;Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "D&iacute;az finds a miraculous balance. He cuts his barn-burning comic-book plots (escape, ruin, redemption) with honest, messy realism, and his narrator speaks in a dazzling hash of Spanish, English, slang, literary flourishes, and pure virginal dorkiness."&#160;&mdash;New York Magazine"Genius. . .&#160;a story of the American experience that is giddily glorious and hauntingly horrific. And what a voice Yunior has. His narration is a triumph of style and wit, moving along Oscar de Leon's story with cracking, down-low humor, and at times expertly stunning us with heart-stabbing sentences. That&#160;D&iacute;az's novel is also full of ideas, that [the narrator's] brilliant talking rivals the monologues of Roth's Zuckerman&mdash;in short, that what he has produced is a kick-ass (and truly, that is just the word for it) work of modern fiction&mdash;all make The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao&#160;something exceedingly rare: a book in which a new America can recognize itself, but so can everyone else."&#160;&mdash;San Francisco Chronicle"Astoundingly great. . .&#160;D&iacute;az&#160;has written. . .&#160;a mixture of straight-up English, Dominican Spanish, and hieratic nerdspeak crowded with references to Tolkien, DC Comics, role-playing games, and classic science fiction. . .&#160;In lesser hands Oscar Wao&#160;would merely have been the saddest book of the year. With D&iacute;az&#160;on the mike, it's also the funniest."&#160;&mdash;Time&#160;"Superb, deliciously casual and vibrant, shot through with wit and insight. The great achievement of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao&#160;is&#160;D&iacute;az's ability to balance an intimate multigenerational story of familial tragedy. . .&#160;The past and present remain equally in focus, equally immediate, and&#160;D&iacute;az's acrobatic prose toggles artfully between realities, keeping us enthralled with all." &mdash;The Boston Globe"Panoramic and yet achingly personal. It's impossible to categorize, which is a good thing. There's the epic novel, the domestic novel, the social novel, the historical novel, and the 'language' novel. People talk about the Great American Novel and the immigrant novel. Pretty reductive.&#160;D&iacute;az's novel is a hell of a book. It doesn't care about categories. It's densely populated; it's obsessed with language. It's Dominican and American, not about immigration but diaspora, in which one family's dramas are entwined with a nation's, not about history as information but as dark-force destroyer. Really, it's a love novel. . .&#160;His dazzling wordplay is impressive. But by the end, it is his tenderness and loyalty and melancholy that breaks the heart. That is wondrous in itself." &mdash;Los Angeles Times"D&iacute;az's writing is unruly, manic, seductive. . .&#160;In&#160;D&iacute;az's landscape we are all the same, victims of a history and a present that doesn't just bleed together but stew. Often in hilarity. Mostly in heartbreak."&#160;&mdash;Esquire"The Dominican Republic [D&iacute;az] portrays in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao&#160;is a wild, beautiful, dangerous, and contradictory place, both hopelessly impoverished and impossibly rich. Not so different, perhaps, from anyone else's ancestral homeland, but&#160;D&iacute;az's weirdly wonderful novel illustrates the island's uniquely powerful hold on Dominicans wherever they may wander.&#160;D&iacute;az made us wait eleven years for this first novel and boom!&mdash;it's over just like that. It's not a bad gambit, to always leave your audience wanting more. So brief and wondrous, this life of Oscar. Wow." &mdash;The Washington Post Book World "Terrific. . .&#160;High-energy. . .&#160;It is a joy to read, and every bit as exhilarating to reread." &mdash;Entertainment Weekly "Now that&#160;D&iacute;az's second book, a novel called The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, has finally arrived, younger writers will find that the bar. And some older writers&mdash;we know who we are&mdash;might want to think about stepping up their game. Oscar Wao shows a novelist engaged with the culture, high and low, and its polyglot language. If Donald Barthelme had lived to read D&iacute;az, he surely would have been delighted to discover an intellectual and linguistic omnivore who could have taught even him a move or two." &mdash;Newsweek"Few books require a 'highly flammable' warning, but The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Junot&#160;D&iacute;az's long-awaited first novel, will burn its way into your heart and sizzle your senses.&#160;D&iacute;az's novel is drenched in the heated rhythms of the real world as much as it is laced with magical realism and classic fantasy stories." &mdash;USA Today"Dark and exuberant. . . this fierce, funny, tragic book is just what a reader would have hoped for in a novel by Junot&#160;D&iacute;az." &mdash;Publishers Weekly

"...The readiblity is excellent. The chapter summaries and charts are appropriate and helpful. [Introduction to Logic] delivers a formidable subject in an easy-to-ingest manner. ...The explanations are easy enough for the novice while rigorous enough to remain a reference work for someone who may occasionally need to return to to a definition of some fallacy or another or needs a quick discussion of asyllogistic inference, for example. ...The text covers Aristotilian and syllogistic logic quite well. ...I think the book's strongest point is the presentation of the informal fallacies. It provides a nice aid for students to sharpen their argumentive skills; even when they may be unfamiliar topics." 
Jason Flato, Georgia Perimeter College, USA
"[Of the book’s pedagogy:] well thought out and organized." 
David Vessey, Grand Valley State University, USA
"The strength of the book is that, no matter when a student reads it, it always is sure to have the latest and most pertinent examples..." 
Drew Berkowitz, Bridgewater State College, USA
"The explanation of scientific inquiry is particularly lucid and thorough. Compatibility, predictive power, falsifiability, and simplicity are also very well explained. The exercises provided are applicable to real world instances of scientific inquiry." 
William Ferraiolo, San Joaquin Delta College, USA
"Introduction to Logic provides a nice aid for students to sharpen their argumentative skills, even when they may be unfamiliar with the topics (..) The strength of the book is that no matter when a student reads it, it always is sure to have the latest and most pertinent examples."

Finally! A pedagogical strategy that harnesses the true nature of social work practice as an applied science! This book is a wonderful compilation of complex decision cases designed to challenge each student in different ways, allowing them to test new decision-making paradigms in a psychologically safe and supportive style. I look forward to incorporating these cases into all of my social work practice courses. 
--Ali Winters, DSW, LCSW, Assistant Professor, Social Work, Tennessee State University
The decision-making, case method approach to teaching in this book is superior to other case examples that tell students what to think or how to think. The case examples highlight the complexity of social work practice at all levels while assisting students to develop enhanced decision making skills. I am excited to try some of these case examples and the case method approach in the classroom. This book should be adopted and utilized within social work curriculum.
--Kelly Bass, DSW, CSW-PIP, ACS, MSW Program Director, University of South Dakota

"Rare earth elements are ubiquitous in modern technologies, from catalysis to lighting and in imaging in biology and medicine. New applications for these elements are being found at an increasing rate. At the same time, concerns have been raised about their limited supply. There could not be a better time for a comprehensive review of the application of rare earth elements in nanotechnologies. This book provides a thorough and valuable survey of the application of these essential elements in the fast-developing field of nanotechnology. The book will be useful to new entrants to the area, as well as established researchers."—Prof. Ian Kennedy - University of California, Davis, USA"This book features a collection of excellent and professionally written reviews on the synthesis, control of functionalities and applications of lanthanide nanomaterials to bio-imaging and light-emitting diodes. It appears at a time when these areas of research and technology are sustaining an extraordinary interest in view of the breathtaking spectroscopic and magnetic properties of lanthanide nanomaterials. Any professional active in this type of research and any student interested in getting started into these fields and in contributing to them should get highly inspired by this work."—Prof. Jean-Claude Bunzli - Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, Switzerland"The unique properties of materials containing rare earth elements have become essential in several electronic, optical, magnetic , bio-medical, and catalytic applications. The fine-tuning of materials at a nanoscale level is one of the critical aspects for the success of these technologies. This book represents an excellent compendium on the preparation and controlled modification of rare earth nanomaterials, covering their applications in various spectroscopic techniques and their unique luminescent properties. It is also recommended as an excellent reference book for academics and students."—Prof. Alessandro Trovarelli - University of Udine, Italy

"Carbon nanotubes are now a mature subject after close to 20 years of active research in the field. This book, written by renowned experts, is a timely update of the subject that enlarges the reader's vision with discussions about other carbon materials such as fullerenes, nanohorns and other lesser known carbon species and about applications ranging from biogical aspects to quantum computing. Very interesting!"—Prof. Alain Pénicaud - Université Bordeaux 1, France"The book combines together the most recent results of the relatively new but fast-growing field of carbon nanomaterials. It has a good balance of fundamental knowledge and applications ideas and presents different aspects of this multidisciplinary field in chapters written by experts in synthetic and computation chemistry, materials science, electronics, and biology. This book is a very important source of information especially for graduate students and young researchers entering the field of carbon nanomaterials."—Prof. Nikolai V.

"Rare earth elements are involved in a number of essential technological applications. Their effects raise a number of challenges in environmental sciences and in human health. The present book provides an extensive and balanced survey of the manifold—adverse and favorable—effects associated with rare earth elements."
—Prof. Dr. José L. Domingo, Rovira i Virgili University, Spain

"The present book is a valuable tool to gain insight into the complex and sometimes surprising health effects of rare earth elements. Especially interesting—due to my field of research—are the chapters addressed to the study of the changes in redox endpoints in a number of organisms and cell systems. This carefully edited book, with a multidisciplinary view of rare earth elements, is really an important scientific contribution." 
—Prof. Dr. Federico V. Pallardó, University of Valencia, Spain

"I congratulate the authors for this timely production of an extensive overview of an important topic in environmental and medical sciences: the risks and challenges that may be connected with increasing use and distribution of rare earth elements. It is essential to increase our knowledge about the environmental fate and biological effects of these technologically so important metals in order to prevent unforeseen long-term consequences of our doing. This book will surely become an important resource for scientists, engineers, and decision makers who understand the need of a sensible exploitation of this resource." 
—Prof. Dr. Susanne Heise, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany

"Great Debates documents the development of criminology’s critical theory, research, and policy tensions. 　The book provides an important bird’s eye view of where we’ve been and where we’re going. It’s a handbook that should be on every criminologist’s desk."

- Joshua C. Cochran, Assistant Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University of Cincinnati
"This well-researched and highly stimulating book presents excellent reviews of great debates in criminology, including sociological versus psychological perspectives, social control versus social learning, and criminal careers versus criminal propensity. It also reviews methodological debates (e.g. on trajectory analysis) and policy implications. It should be mandatory reading for all criminologists!"- David P. Farrington, Emeritus Professor of Psychological Criminology, University of Cambridge
"If there is anything that criminologists can agree on is that we enjoy spirited debates about the causes and correlates of crime as well as the policy decisions that need to be made in dealing with crime. It is appropriate, then, that we have a volume that nicely presents the different points of view on key criminological and criminal justice matters. Posick and Rocque develop what I believe to be the book that students will learn from and by challenged by as they delve into the heart of the either/or views on crime, one that provides an objective presentation of the sides and their facts."
- Alex R. Piquero, Ashbel Smith Professor of Criminology, The University of Texas at Dallas
"Posick and Rocque provide a unique point-counterpoint overview of the leading concepts and various assumptions framing major explanations of crime. In a chronological unfolding of classical statements to contemporary perspectives, Great Debates in Criminology leads readers through an ideologically balanced, empirically informed, and engaging introduction to theoretical criminology."
- J. Mitchell Miller, Editor of the American Journal of Criminal Justice
