From the book reviews:“Designed for active researchers ranging from students to established scientists, the book is edited by a proteomics researcher working the in the area of dopamine and nicotine receptor protein interaction networks. … this book adds a collection of methods for contemporary techniques that should prove useful to researchers wishing to apply these approaches to their work.” (Beth Levant, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2013)

“This book aims to provide a description of the radiologic and pathologic features of diseases of the male genitourinary tract. … The book, which is intended for radiologists, seems more suited to academicians but would be helpful to clinical radiologists as well. … It will be a welcome addition, particularly for genitourinary radiologists.” (Michael Orsi, Radiology, Vol. 274 (3), 2015)

Algunas Consideraciones Sobre Filosofía Y Ensenanza De La Matemática

'Set to be the standard text on 'non-lethal' weapons, this book also highlights the threat to controls on weapons of mass destruction posed by weapons development at the other end of the spectrum.' - Dr Hans Blix, Chairman of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission

'This book, by one of the foremost experts in the field, provides a tremendous contribution. It is richly detailed, exhaustively researched, and beautifully written. It analyzes non-lethal weapons comprehensively, providing historical and contemporary exploration of the full range of applicable systems, in the U.S., U.K., and around the world. It deserves careful attention by scholars, policy-makers, and the informed public.' - Professor David A. Koplow, Director of the Center for Applied Legal Studies, Georgetown University, USA

'This scholarly and readable book offers an absorbing account of an area of weapons development where technology might advance rapidly. It deserves wide readership and should bring these disquieting developments to greater attention.' - Lord Martin Rees, President of the Royal Society; and Master of Trinity College, University of Cambridge

'Davison has been studying this area for many years and depth of scholarship is one of the book's great strengths...This is an important book. It will not go down well with the Pentagon's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, or atTaser International. But it should be compulsory reading to those involved in "non-lethal" weapons-buying, before being exposed to salesmen touting the latest less-lethal wonder-weapon. And it should also be compulsory reading for any journalist writing about those same wonder-weapons without looking at what they mean in practice.' - David Hambling, Wired Magazine

'This is the definitive history and analysis of so-called non-lethal weapons. Neil Davison effectively demolishes the benign mask of these weapons as alternatives to deadly force, and points to the corrosive role of vested interest lobby groups, which have made these weapons popular...Davison provides a powerful moral warning about the dangers of new incapacitation weapons...' New Scientist

'This exhaustively researched book integrates complex and diffuse information into an accessible, coherent and chronological narrative of non-lethal weapons development.' Times Higher Education

'...thoroughly researched...a comprehensive record.' - The Lancet

'Davison is enormously authoritative' - Policing

From the reviews:“The present monograph deals with an important subject in the domain of coupled problems in solid mechanics, i.e., the study of the interactions between solid continua and electromagnetic fields. … The book includes various examples from industrial applications, namely dynamics of synchronous electric machines and electromagnetic exciters of oscillations. This work may be used by researchers, engineers and graduate students in the field.” (Robin Olivian Simionescu-Panait, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 j)

Non-Linear Electromechanics

'Of the numerous Wallenberg books and publications since the 1980's, this one stands apart. It is to my mind the first substantive study about Swedish diplomat Raoul G. Wallenberg outside of the regular Holocaust Studies/World War II canon. The book is accessible to general audiences, yet there is rich material to mine both for the professional art historian, teachers, Holocaust experts and other specialists. The mark of a great book [is] that it stimulates and surprises you and leaves you changed. And this "A Hero's Many Faces" does in great measure.'  - Susanne Berger, The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation  'A fascinating survey of the range of artistic responses to Wallenberg's story across five continents.' Tim Cole, Journal of Jewish Identities  'Tanja Schult's A Hero's Many Faces is an ambitious study, impressively working to blend interpretive methodologies, cross disciplinary boundaries, and construct multitiered arguments that speak to several audiences at once...Very convincing as an art historical analysis of monumental sculptures and representations of memory by artists and political and cultural elites'  - J Franklin Williamson, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

From the reviews:

“The 22 chapters in this book are authored by a worldwide panel of experts in lower urinary tract and pelvic disease states. The book is distinguished by a wealth of well-done illustrations and photographs, as well as a number of algorithms. … it is best suited for practitioners who want a rapid read that is comprehensively illustrated with many tables and algorithms. … I will certainly be asking my medical library to purchase the book.” (Viraj Master, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2010)

Mein erstes dickes Malbuch ab 2 – Baustelle

There has been a great deal of excitement over the last few years concerning
the emergence of new mathematical techniques for the analysis and control
of nonlinear systems: witness the emergence of a set of simplified tools
for the analysis of bifurcations, chaos and other simplified tools for
the analysis of bifurcations, chaos and other complicated dynamical behaviour
and the development of a comprehensive theory of nonlinear control. Coupled
with this set of analytic advances has been the vast increase in computational
power available both for the simulation of nonlinear systems as well as
for the implementation in real time of sophisticated, real-time nonlinear
control laws. Thus, technological advances have bolstered the impact of
analytic advances and produced a tremendous variety of new problems and
applications which are nonlinear in an essential way. This book lays out
in a concise mathematical framework the tools and methods of analysis which
underlie this diversity of applications. The material presented in this
book is culled from different 1st year graduate courses that the author
has taught at MIT and at Berkeley.

From the reviews:
“This edited book provides the reader with a wealth of expert writing from teachers, academics … . The fascination of the collection is its illustration of the interweaving influences of experience, reflection and practitioner research on teacher learning. … The book will thus appeal to teachers making sense of their own experiences and endeavours to enhance learning opportunities and improve students’ learning outcomes. It will be of particular value to those with responsibility for CPD and those embarking on reflective practice or practitioner research.” (Rachel Lofthouse, Learning and Teaching Update, Issue 15, June, 2008)

From the reviews: “Organized into tables and diagrams, this handbook is meant to serve as quick reference in dermatological surgery. … The audience is dermatology residents, medical students, and dermatologists. … If you need a quick reference to refresh or confirm basic details of anatomy, surgical techniques, or wound dressing choices, you may find this handbook useful.” (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2014)
