"In this illuminating book, the highly esteemed British psychoanalyst Gregorio Kohon shares with the reader an internal dialogue between his own artistic intuition and his psychoanalytic insights. As we follow him through the text, we not only learn about the nature and function of the inherent inevitability of uncertainty, but we are challenged to embrace its creative potential." - Donald Campbell, Former President, British Psychoanalytic Society

"Through his narrative, Kohon evokes in the reader the very experience of uncanny that he describes in his deep engagement with the work of a number of artists and writers. The author reflects on how creativity may be expressed through negativity and incompleteness, a process that points to the "commonality of experience" between the aesthetics and psychoanalysis. This beautifully written book will be a marker in our understanding of the aesthetic experience."- Rosine Jozef Perelberg, PhD, Training Analyst and Fellow of the British Psychoanalytic Society and Visiting Professor, University College London
"This is a truly remarkable book. As Kohon delves more and more deeply into the aesthetic moment, what he encounters is not answers, but ever-expanding mystery, for mystery in all of its capacity to elicit fear and awe and confusion and the impulse to flee, and its ultimate resistance to representation, is what lies at the heart of human experience. It is a pleasure to accompany Kohon in his efforts to get to the core of what it is that makes a particular work of art, including moments in the art of psychoanalysis, the vibrant, compelling, disturbing events that they are." - Thomas H. Ogden, author most recently of Creative Readings: Essays on Seminal Analytic Works
"In this new book the psychoanalyst Gregorio Kohon makes a very personal contribution to the literature on art and psychoanalysis...This is a rich book – well researched and personally and culturally eloquent. The links between art and psychoanalysis are woven through the text. There could have been other artists included but this is Kohon’s selection; it is his story and because of that it is deeply meaningful. This book will be of interest to a very wide readership and I recommend it to anyone interested in the dual fields of art and psychoanalysis." - Joy Schaverien, author of Boarding School Syndrome for the Journal of Analytical Psychology.

‘This book will become a classic in the field of reparation for victims of mass violence. The various chapters provide state of the art scholarship in an area which is of paramount importance in victimology. The editor and the authors deserve immense credit for addressing one of the most topical issues in victimology in this impressive way. The book is a "must-read" for any researcher who takes the problem of reparation seriously.’ - Dr. Marc Groenhuijsen, President, World Society of Victimology


‘International justice is nowhere more urgent in its promise, and harmful in its failure, than when it touches the rights and expectations of real victims in their actual lives. Jo-Anne Wemmers has brought together a distinguished group of contributors to explore the potential for, and the risks inherent in attempting to repair the harm done by crimes against humanity. Delving into examples from around the world, the authors draw on a range of disciplines in order to elucidate a victim-centred and healing approach that challenges our way of seeking justice for these gravest of crimes.’ - Bruce Broomhall, Professor, Department of Law, University of Quebec at Montreal, Canada
'Reparation for Victims of Crimes against Humanity is a valuable text for its multidisciplinary perspective, which goes beyond the legal and victimological discourses, to truly examine expectations, perceptions and harsh realities of trying the impossible— of remedying mass atrocities. The rich debate in this book will be instructive to many judges, diplomats, practitioners, academics and students as they try to navigate through the difficult issues raised through this book of using reparations in delivering justice to victims...' —Luke Moffett, Queen’s University Belfast, Journal of International Criminal Justice
'This book represents an important and welcome contribution in theorizing and working out the practical modalities of delivering reparations for crimes against humanity. The rich debate in this book will be instructive to many judges, diplomats, practitioners, academics and students as they try to navigate through the difficult issues raised through this book of using reparations in delivering justice to victims, whether through the ICC, state programmes or a future crimes against humanity convention.'

‘The political puzzle of climate change is not only about why so little has been accomplished internationally, it is also how climate politics has been subsumed into the discourse and practices of climate security. In an acute analysis, Delf Rothe examines both the nuts and bolts of this matter and the underlying structural processes that have turned an already complex issue into an even more wicked problem’. -- Ronnie D. Lipschutz, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA
‘This book is an ambitious attempt to examine current theories of securitization and to rethink the links between climate and security in contemporary policy discourse. Focusing on the United Kingdom in particular this analysis of the rise of climate risks and biopolitical security policy moves academic debates ahead usefully. Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding contemporary developments in environmental security thinking and policy innovation’. -- Simon Dalby, Balsillie School of International Affairs, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada

Praise for Every Man a Menace:A Wall Street Journal best mystery of 2016Strand Magazine's #1 best book of 2016A Buzz Books pick for fall/winter 2016An iBooks Best Book of October&#147;Criminal fools populate the drug-selling networks from San Francisco to Bangkok to Miami in Patrick Hoffman&#8217;s astonishing, violent novel . . . filled with sharply drawn characters . . . A mind-bending, attention-demanding narrative as full of shocks and surprises as an LSD party.&#8221;&#151;Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal&#147;Every Man a Menace is everything you could want in a thriller&#151;lightning pace, dead-on dialogue, and a twisting, high-torque plot. But, most of all, this novel is smart and authentic, a welcome jolt at a time when so much fiction reads like it rolled off an assembly line.&#8221;&#151;Carl Hiaasen&#147;Subtle characterization, tricky narrative switchbacks . . . vivid, moody prose . . . closer to Denis Johnson than to Elmore Leonard.&#8221;&#151;Lorin Stein, Paris Review Daily&#147;This scorching novel takes us to the heart of a multibillion dollar transglobal business we only glimpse in bloody headlines. Fast, terrifying, and at times beautiful, Every Man a Menace is that most unusual thing: a deeply original and frightening crime novel.&#8221;&#151;Denise Mina, author of Blood, Salt, Water&#147;With style and intrigue, Patrick Hoffman's Every Man a Menace proves that his top-flight debut San Francisco crime novel, The White Van, was no fluke . . . Set largely in San Francisco, Miami and Bangkok, Every Man a Menace vibrates with punchy prose reminiscent of authors like Dashiell Hammett, Elmore Leonard and John Burdett, who made those cities their own . . . An edgy, crisp, compulsive portrait of the merciless players in the international Ecstasy trade.&#8221;&#151;Shelf Awareness&#147;When chaos surrounds us in real life, even fictional chaos offers a much needed escape for the tired, despairing reader. And when you're guided on a tour of dark doings and double dealings by the likes of Patrick Hoffman, the jolts are all the more electric and the windows into secret places resonate all the more . . . For plot, imagine a younger, edgier Elmore Leonard, a pinch of Pulp Fiction and a dose of Traffic . . . Crime fiction thrives on fresh voices above all, and Hoffman is one of the freshest out there at the moment. I can't wait to see what secret world he lets us in on next.&#8221;&mdash;Sarah Weinman, Book of the Month&#147;Cool and laconic, echoing vintage Elmore Leonard, the early scenes in Patrick Hoffman&#8217;s new novel, Every Man a Menace, radiate tension. A complex trap is being set&#151;you can almost hear the pulling back of the spring&#151;and around it Hoffman will construct an intricate fretwork of betrayal, blackmail, murder, and retail economics . . . Hoffman is an infernally clever writer . . . Hoffman&#8217;s puzzles are more human than mechanical. His characters are too complex and his scenes too immediate and engrossing to be diminished by intrigue.&#8221;&#151;Barnes & Noble Review&#147;[A] haunting transcontinental tale of bad deeds and hard deaths . . . The first paragraph should be cut out and framed as an example of how a narrative is baited, cast and irrevocably hooked . . . Patrick Hoffman is a master storyteller. He breaks a number of conventional rules of the craft, but does so gently and always with good purpose. Every Man a Menace is one of those books that you read and wish would go on and on and on. Indeed, the conclusion leaves a thread hanging . . . It just does not get any better than this.&#8221;&#151;Bookreporter&#147;Every Man a Menace reveals an isolated act of violence to be a shift in the fragile balance of a complex chain of alliances built to bring the drug Molly into existence and transport it from Bangkok across the world to Miami and San Francisco. Caught in the narrative&#8217;s sharp focus is the whole network of greedy, scared, frightening, and fascinating characters. Whatever you're reading right now, put it down and read this book first.&#8221;&#151;Thomas Perry, New York Times bestselling author of Forty Thieves&#147;Few authors capture the global realities of drug smuggling as Hoffman does in this remarkable novel&#151;the logistics, the tensions, and the inevitable replaceability of all links in the chain. Every Man a Menace is a stunner, an absolute masterclass in plotting, detail, and consequences. It's worth every second of your time.&#8221;&#151;Ryan Gattis, author of All Involved&#147;[Every Man a Menace] is distinguished by its virtuoso set pieces . . . a nasty tour de force . . . Hoffman's follow-up to The White Van is another strong and original addition to the crime fiction genre.&#8221;&#151;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)&#147;Patrick Hoffman writes vivid and colourful prose, in a style that has Hollywood movie written all over it . . . An exciting read.&#8221;&#151;Toronto Star"Every Man a Menace is impossible to put down . . . Hoffman writes with a burning urgency, but he also takes the time to develop haunting characters with interior lives and doomed pasts. We burned through this vicious pageturner in two nights."&#151;iBooks, "25 Best Books of October"&#147;Darkly entertaining . . . For readers who love crime fiction that keeps them up all night, this book is absolutely perfect.&#8221;&#151;Bookish, Best Reads of Fall 2016, Mysteries and Thrillers“With debts to vintage Elmore Leonard and Donald E. Westlake, and a hat tip to the George Pelecanos of Shoedog, Patrick Hoffman’s intricate, hallucinatory second novel is a thrill ride of noir pleasures.”—Irish Times“A highly entertaining high-octane and exceptionally violent Donald Westlake-like crime caper told with real verve and wit.”—Irish Independent
