Situating her exploration of overeating in a broader discussion of consumption and materialism, Cargill (clinical psychology, Univ. of Washington, Tacoma) offers a unique perspective informed not only by her background as a clinical psychologist but also by her interest in food studies. She draws from multiple disciplines (sociology, nutrition, history, political science) and works through concepts with palpable pleasure. The study is deliberate and thoughtful, and the author takes the time for relevant explanations [inviting] others to explore alternative models of resistance. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; general readers.

From the reviews:“This book addresses the use of soft computing techniques for pattern recognition problems, starting with an interesting overview of how the conventional approach to pattern recognition differs from the soft computing approach. … The book achieves a well-balanced treatment of theory, mathematics, and applications. Each chapter has a good number of references, and … each includes interesting experimental results. … this book would be useful for research scholars and scientists working in the field of pattern recognition.” (S. Ramakrishnan, Computing Reviews, March, 2013)“The book presents the research work of the author regarding soft computing methods, such as fuzzy relational calculus, genetic algorithms and neural networks, for the tasks of pattern classification and occluded object recognition. … The entire methodology is thoroughly tested on real-world applications and addresses researchers in pattern classification and computer vision.” (Catalin Stoean, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1260, 2013)

From the reviews:“The book is divided into 5 parts with several chapters and sections in each. … The book is clear, well written, interesting and easy to read. … The book is an invitation to more research on this topic and it is a nice source of new problems, particularly for people working in celestial mechanics, dynamical systems, numerical analysis and geometric mechanics. I enjoyed reading it.” (Ernesto Pérez-Chavela, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2013)

From the reviews:“It is worthwhile to emphasize that this book is very clearly and rigorously written. … chapters is accompanied by an appendix section containing proofs of the main theorems, and by a problem section, allowing this book to be used as a textbook for an advanced graduate course on game theory. … this book can also be seen as a very valuable position for game theorists.”­­­ (Tadeusz Radzik, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1198, 2010)“In The cooperative game theory of networks and hierarchies, Gilles has written an introduction to cooperative game theory and its applications to hierarchical structures that serves equally well as a graduate level text and a primer for the researcher wanting a concise but highly readable account of recent work in this field. … the author has provided extensive and thoughtful discussion of the assumptions and applicability of these models to economic and other institutions.” (Jennifer M. Wilson, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 f)
