"Peter Swirski is one of the original scholars of his generation. American Utopia combines an incredible range of knowledge, wicked humor, and take-no-prisoner attitude to the corruption, exploitation, and political repression that come between us and social justice. Anyone interested in Utopias and Utopian thought, in American literature and American society, and in the future of humanity—and that includes all of us—will find this one-of-a-kind book difficult to put down."　—Arthur Asa Berger, Professor Emeritus, San Francisco State University

"This is quintessential Swirski: sharp, exciting, and sophisticated. This is a timely and rewarding read. Don’t miss it!" —David Livingstone Smith, Professor of Philosophy, University of New England
"This book is a major contribution to Utopian studies, an insightful critique of some contemporary utopias, and an important meditation on issues raised by the doomed search for human perfection." —David Rampton, University of Ottawa

'Place matters! This red thread through this textbook written by two recognized scholars calls for active care and smart governance for cities and regions. This fine opus offers practical and pedagogical guidelines for professionals and students in urban and regional planning. Both the local and the global arena of competitiveness and of endogenous and external forces are systematically and comprehensively mapped out. This book is a great source of new insights in place-based policy strategies.' – Peter Nijkamp, Universiteit Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS), The Netherlands
'This book is highly recommended in understanding what is happening locally and globally in planning and economic development. It will be a hugely helpful source of information and insight for those going into – or already working in–careers in economic development, urban planning, transport planning, spatial data analysis and applied economic analysis, and indeed the wider world of public policy. Clear, well written, great coverage and with many interesting examples – a must-read.' –David Bailey, Aston Business School, Aston University, UK
‘I strongly recommend this book to all those interested in better understanding economic development at the local, community or regional scales, as well as in accessing an updated and comprehensive toolkit of economic development knowledge, techniques and strategies.’ — Eduardo Medeiros, Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal, Regional Studies (2020)

From the reviews:“Both broad and informative enough to guide the reader who needs to know what tools might be available for particular application areas. … Intended for students and practitioners in the sciences, humanities, and other digitally driven disciplines, the book is an excellent resource for people who want to leverage the power of open source tools. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals and two-year technical program students.” (C. Vickery, Choice, Vol. 48 (9), May, 2011)“Open-source software is currently very popular. The term ‘open-source software’ refers to computer software with freely available source code. This handbook of open-source tools consists of 21 chapters. … The book includes numerous tables, figures, and examples. Readers should appreciate the author’s efforts to catalog open-source tools. … In summary, this book will be a … useful reference book … .” (S. V. Nagaraj, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2011)

Praise for the Third Edition:Bayesian Methods covers a broad yet essential scope of topics necessary for one to understand and conduct applied Bayesian analysis. The numerous social science examples should resonate with the target audience, and the availability of the code and data in an R package, BaM, further enhances the appeal of the book.—The American Statistician, 2016
Praise for the Second Edition:The book will be very suitable for students of social science … The reference list is carefully compiled; it will be very useful for a well-motivated reader. Altogether it is a very readable book, based on solid scholarship and written with conviction, gusto, and a sense of fun.—International Statistical Review (2009), 77, 2
The second edition of Bayesian Methods: A Social and Behavioral Sciences Approach is a major update from the original version. … The result is a general audience text suitable for a first course in Bayesian statistics at the upper undergraduate level for highly quantitative students or at the graduate level for students in a wider variety of fields. … Of the texts I have tried so far in [my] class, Gill’s book has definitely worked the best for me. … this book fills an important market segment for classes where the canonical Bayesian texts are a bit too advanced. The emphasis is on using Bayesian methods in practice, with topics introduced via higher-level discussions followed by implementation and theory. …—Herbert K.H. Lee, University of California, Santa Cruz, The American Statistician, November 2008
Praise for the First Edition:This book is a brilliant and importantly very accessible introduction to the concept and application of Bayesian approaches to data analysis. The clear strength of the book is in making the concept practical and accessible, without necessarily dumbing it down. … The coverage is also remarkable.—S.V. Subramanian, Harvard School of Public HealthOne of the contributions of Bayesian Methods: A Social and Behavioral Sciences Approach is to reintroduce Bayesian inference and computing to a general social sciences audience. This is an important contribution-one that will make demand for this book high … Jeff Gill has gone some way toward reinventing the graduate-level methodology textbook … Gill's treatment of the practicalities of convergence is a real service … new users of the technique will appreciate this material. … the inclusion of material on hierarchical modeling at first seems unconventional; its use in political science, while increasing, has been limited. However, Bayesian inference and MCMC methods are well suited to these types of problems, and it is exactly these types of treatments that push the discipline in new directions. As noted, a number of monographs have appeared recently to reintroduce Bayesian inference to a new generation of computer-savvy statisticians. … However, Gill achieves what these do not: a quality introduction and reference guide to Bayesian inference and MCMC methods that will become a standard in political methodology.—The Journal of Politics, November 2003
