"This timely Springer monograph collects a total of 25 survey and research articles on the analysis, processing, and visualization of tensor fields, an area with increasing impact and visibility in contemporary imaging and medical image analysis. Compared with many existing volumes of similar styles or missions, this collection has been carefully edited to yield a smooth and continuous flow of topics and techniques. The categorization into five self-contained parts has been enormously helpful for a generic reader to attain an organic view of the entire dynamic field. This volume will be an invaluable research tool or information source for all readers who are interested in tensor processing and visualization, including, e.g., image processing experts, graphic and visualization engineers, medical imaging scientists, and radiologists, as well as graduate students who are pursuing a degree in the related research subjects."  (Jianhong Shen, Mathematical Reviews)

’[The] bibliographic survey is especially useful since some of the scholarship, much of it published in Europe, is not accessible as it should be... This admirable collection is an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand the diversity of the order's artistic programs...’ Renaissance Quarterly  ’The series of essays in this volume raise thought-provoking and important questions about how the Augustinians negotiated their intellectual and spiritual commitment to the ideas of St Augustine, including his image theory, with their choice of style, iconography and subject matter for the works of art that they commissioned.  Within the larger context of the great rise of the visual arts in this period and the contingent shift in the style and content of images, the authors of this volume provide innovative and varied interpretations of the relationship between art and institutions.’ Journal of Ecclesiastical History

"Mejía, a veteran of the Iraq conflict, became an antiwar hero when he refused to return to his unit and was court-martialed in 2004 for desertion. . . . Most powerful are his firsthand experiences of prisoner abuse, senseless patrols that invite insurgent attacks, discord among his demoralized comrades and their careerist officers, and the constant brutalization of Iraqis by paranoid, trigger-happy GIs."-Publisher's Weekly

"Robinson has by now accumulated an extraordinary mix of knowledges about global capitalism. Having worked in very diverse areas of the world, he brings to it a kind of wisdom, and this enables the reader to grasp the breadth of instances&nbsp; of the global in today&rsquo;s world." &mdash;Saskia Sassen, Columbia University, author of&nbsp;Expulsions &nbsp; "Know your enemy and know yourself...&rsquo; is how the iconic Sun-tzu &nbsp;began &nbsp;his famous command.&nbsp; William Robinson offers those engaged in the struggle against global capitalism a remarkable and compelling insight and framework in order to both understand our opponents as well as better grasp the strengths and weaknesses of the oppressed and dispossessed.&nbsp; This is the book for which I have been waiting and I could not put it down.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;Bill Fletcher, Jr., former president of TransAfrica Forum; coauthor of Solidarity Divided and author of They&rsquo;re Bankrupting Us: And Twenty Other Myths About Unions &nbsp; "William Robinson&rsquo;s Into the Tempest is a timely account of global gentrification. While most scholars concentrate on the city, Professor Robinson covers its global impact that has resulted in environmental destruction, social inequalities, and displacement of billions of people around the world. This has led to forced mass migrations. As in the case of micro gentrification society is entering the final stages of inequality accelerating a global collapse of modern civilization. Few realize that the state after gentrification is a Blade Runner world - a dystopian society devoid of human emotion and a collective historical memory." &mdash;Rodolfo F. Acu&ntilde;a, Professor Emeritus, Chicana/o Studies Department, California State University Northridge &nbsp; "Bill Robinson's Into the Tempest is a collection of his essays on the emergence of a global police state and the nature of 21st century Fascism.&nbsp; It applies a trenchant structural analysis of the world-system with a Gramscian effort to theorize and mobilize liberatory social movements that challenge the reactionary forces emerging during the contemporary period of crisis. Robinson is the one of the best macrosociologists of his generation. His comparative and temporally deep perspective drives a synthesis of the global capitalism and world-system perspectives in a way that allows us to see through the fog of globalization." &mdash;Chris Chase-Dunn, Sociology,University of California-Riverside&nbsp; &nbsp; "This book is a treasury of big-picture insight from our leading theorist of the emerging system of global capitalism. Robinson&rsquo;s project &ndash; to understand the political economy in order to change it&ndash;stands as the preeminent successor to Marx&rsquo;s project from an earlier epoch. For readers perplexed about our changing world and apprehensive about its future, here is your primer and call to action." &mdash;Paul Raskin, author of&nbsp;Journey to Earthland &nbsp; "Robinson's brilliant and courageous research has culminated in this pathfinding work of political reconnaissance that traces capitalism's virulent history, exposes its contradictions, locates its capacity to reorganize and digitally reconfigure itself as the fulcrum upon which the survival of the transnational ruling elite rests, and presents an alternative social logic and transgressive strategies for transcending the proliferation of injustices wrought by the existing social order. A masterpiece!" &mdash;Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies, Chapman University; Chair Professor, Northeast Normal University, China

'Ian Storey is an old Asia hand – a senior fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies and editor of Contemporary Southeast Asia... His deep background is evident in this book about the foreign policies of Southeast Asian states towards China and China’s stance towards each country... the book is clearly a very useful analysis and compendium of a huge amount of diplomatic history.
