"The thirteenth edition of this text is a national treasure for students as well as seasoned practitioners and scholars. Chapter 1 alone is a brilliant contribution to thinking about public affairs. In a period in which American public life in the United States is a complex and often bewildering subject, Nicholas Henry brings diamond-like clarity, thorough scholarship, fascinating examples, current data, and entertaining illustrations to the subject. The reader and the nation　are better off for it." – James D. Carroll, former Program Director, The Brookings Institution, USA
"This latest edition of a classic textbook retains the principles and practical guidance needed by today's students and administrators, and adds the latest trends and insights required to confront effectively and efficiently the challenges of our rapidly changing social and political environment." – Naomi B. Lynn, University of Illinois, USA

From the reviews:

"The book aims to pique interest in the concept of medical healing, and shed light on how a diverse array of fields can approach the topic. … it will be most useful for bioethicists and physicians with a broad interest in the philosophy of medicine." (Nathaniel J Brown, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2009)

"The way the authors of describe their book, it is the fruit of a long-lasting love affair with state space models, which started in the 1980s, inspired by the work of Box and Jenkins. Judging from the density of equations and symbols, it must be the theory of the subject that attracts them most. … This book is not for the fainthearted. It explains a lotabout state space models. To use them, you have to accept the philosophy of detailed modelling of time series. In summary, if you are a specialist, or want to become one, you will like this book."— Paul Eilers, ISCB News, May 2017"This book synthesizes and presents the computational advantages of the state–space approach over the traditional time domain approaches to linear time series analysis. The explicit connection between the mainstream ARIMA time series models and the state–space representation, one of the main features of the book, is achieved by presenting many examples and procedures to combine, decompose, aggregate, and disaggregate an economic time series into the state–space form. More specifically, it provides a bridge for going back and forth between state–space models and the broad class of VARMAX models…Overall, this is a useful book on sate–space methods for time series analysis and covers substantial amount of material lucidly with a focus on computational aspects and software. It is an excellent reference book for self-study and can also be used as a companion for teaching time series analysis along with a standard time series text."—Mohsen Pourahmadi, Texas A&M University, in the Journal of Time Series Analysis, June 2017

"Hurray! This is the book my students and I have been awaiting: a systematic rational discussion of the problems, advantages, and future directions of offender choice perspectives. Danielle Reynald and Benoit Leclerc have produced an essential book probing the foundations of scientific and practical crime prevention. Only irrational criminologists will ignore it."
- John E. Eck, Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Cincinnati, USA
"The idea that offending involves rational decision-making has been extremely important in criminology and has had significant practical implications for situational crime prevention. This book presents many insightful findings on these topics, including the influence of emotional factors as well as the subjective costs and benefits of offending, and the importance of interactions between types of people and types of situations. It should be of great interest to all criminologists, especially in advancing the understanding of offender decision-making and its implications for crime prevention."- David P. Farrington, Emeritus Professor of Psychological Criminology, University of Cambridge, UK

"A closer look at Jeremy Bentham's original work shows that he had a very nuanced and diversified view of what pleasures and punishments people consider when they make decisions. Bentham was not fortunate enough to have the data or the accumulated research now available. In the current volume the contributors apply more modern knowledge to evaluate how offenders make choices, the nuances affecting their choices, and how this extra information helps us design lower crime rates."

"Judicious in its handling of primary sources and theoretically sophisticated, Chris de Wet’s The Unbound God: Slavery and the Formation of Early Christian Thought is an incisive analysis of the extent to which "doulology"—his apt neologism—shaped early Christian thought, informing basic Christian teachings on Christology, pneumatology, and sin."　
- Jennifer Glancy,Le Moyne College, USA
"This is a very important book. The small volume of 178 pages (5 chapters) is interesting and intriguing for its sheer beauty in exposition and daring analysis and propositions ... This book is a reflection on the past and its bearings on the present via the development of early Christian thoughts, and how one may creatively reimagine various religious discourses and habits in order to work for a better future. It is a great accomplishment."
- Ronald Charles, Saint Francis Xavier University, Canada, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2018
"With his book De Wet makes an important contribution to the growing field of scholarly works on Early Christianity and ancient slavery, arguing convincingly for the importance of doulology in Early Christian texts. ... De Wet’s book will challenge future scholarship to keep reflecting on the use of slavery in ancient (Christian) thought. "
- Martijn Stoutjesdijk, Tilburg University, Netherlands, NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion, 72/3
"This book is an important contribution to the cultural and intellectual history of Christianity in late antiquity. The Unbound God ranges widely among Greek, Latin, Coptic, and Syriac patristic and monastic sources to investigate the complex ways in which the discursive practices of ancient slavery formed the central doctrines of church theology."
- J. Albert Harrill, Ohio State University, USA, Church History journal 2019
"The Unbound God makes a genuinely vital contribution to the growing interest in slavery’s enduring place in Christian thought, and it deserves to be read, taught, and discussed widely."

"The integration of so many aspects of footwear design into a single volume is a challenge, but Goonetilleke has produced an extremely interesting book. … a valuable contribution … So, if this book were a pair of shoes would I buy them? I like their look, the material is great, and having tried them on for fit they're just about right."—Alex W. Stedmon, Human Systems Integration Applied Research Group, Faculty of Engineering & Computing, Coventry University, Coventry, UK in Ergonomics, 2013, Vol. 56, No. 11 , 1789-1791
"… will fill the need of having a book to summarize what is happening in the footwear research field currently. … the only option to read and know what is happening out there in this field.—Channa P. Witana, PhD, Honeywell"… a nice addition to the reference library for footwear design. … has more breadth and is a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary overview including both historical practices and some of the latest technologies."—Dr. Kathleen M. Robinette, Oklahoma State University"… covers holistic information on footwear design from the scientific point of view. Topics are well organized and easy to understand for not only researchers but also designers."—Masaaki Mochimaru, Digital Human Research Center, AIST, Japan
