The Mill Mystery

"Much has been written on the self in modern psychology, but rarely are so many fresh perspectives found between the covers of a single volume. Tesser, Wood, and Stapel have organized some of the field's excellent thinkers and writers and produced a book that tackles enduring issues in new ways: How malleable is the self? What about one's identity is genuine? How tied up is the self in considerations of conscious experience? Under what conditions is the self defensive to the point of delusion? In the spirit of Narcissus, we all love to reflect on the self, and this volume will help students and investigators do so in intriguing new ways." - Peter Salovey, Yale University
"In the last 20 years, research on the self has grown from street musician to corporate status. Abe Tesser and his colleagues are partly responsible for this explosion of interest. Now, with the publication of their most recent edited volume on the self, Tesser, Wood, and Stapel bring a structure to this increasingly complex research domain. The eleven chapters reflect three often-conflicting assumptions of the self -- self-as-good (Carl Rogers), self-as-bad (Freud), and self-as-self-regulating-blank-slate (Locke). The editors have assembled a phenomenal group of researchers in social psychology who are superb scientists and writers. This is an excellent book." - James W. Pennebaker, University of Texas at Austin

"Projecting a Camera is not the type of book you can read in a weekend and then put aside. It offers a daunting challenge to our everyday, intuitive understanding of film and theoretical concepts. Its scope, breadth of argument and insights into film theory are simply breathtaking. Like Deleuze’s two cinema books (1986, 1989), it may take the discipline several years to come to terms with Branigan’s innovative perspective, to implement his original insights, and rethink film studies along the lines he proposes."--Warren Buckland, New Review of Film and Television Studies

“Against the Terror of Neoliberalism showcases why Henry A. Giroux is one of the most important and influential thinkers on the cultural left. … [He] critiques the present of politics, as always, eloquently and yet clearly and pointedly, with theoretical sophistication, acute insights into the structures in which power operates, a careful reading of its contemporary manifestations as well as its historical roots, and an in-depth grasp of current academic debates. … Against the Terror of Neoliberalism makes an incontrovertible demonstration of the ways that education is at the center of both how the forces of oppression gain ascendance and how the forces of dissent need to think [about] the future of opposition.”
—Robin Truth Goodman, Florida State University, in Symploke

“At the core of Henry Giroux’s latest, and perhaps most incisive, encompassing and challenging book, Against the Terror of Neoliberalism, are urgent questions and concerns about youth, education, responsibility, the future, and democracy, all rigorously examined and captured brilliantly. … [The book] should be obligatory reading across the spectrum of US education, from high schools and schools of education, to cultural studies, political science, union halls, military barracks, and departments of communications. Giroux thinks and writes with an unrelenting urgency, rigor, and clarity that provides us with critical tools for thinking hard about the world.”
—Scott D. Morris in Dissident Voice

“Henry Giroux has done it again! Against a fastball from Wall Street, the World Bank and the IMF, and the ideologues and practitioners of free market fundamentalism, he smashes a home run. Giroux surgically and decisively dissects the contradictions and the brutal inhumanity and injustice of the ‘free market.’ He also provides the outlines for a roadmap to get out of this living hell.”

`The book is a model in methodology and organization,  and it is an extremely important contribution to the accessible  archaeological data on sites in China. Shelach should be congratulated  for successfully conducting archaeological research as a foreigner in  China...'   Antiquity, 74:285 (2000)   `Chinese specialists naturally welcome this work, which supplies  important comparative material for students of complex societies.  ...this book is a significant contribution to the archaeological study  of complex societies in general, and it succeeds in stimulating a  range of important questions in the study of Chinese complex societies  in particular.'

Prepublication praise:"This comprehensive volume on Italian prehistory provides a wealth of information that will improve readers' access to the archaeological and faunal records which have been gathered by several generations of Italian researchers and will undoubtedly serve many scholars and students who are either not at all or only partially familiar with Italian prehistory. The author produces a most interesting picture of Paleolithic Italy." (Ofer Bar-Yosef, Harvard University) "A must for college and university programs offering undergraduate and graduate courses in the Paleolithic[...]"(Choice, 39:9, 2002)"Magnifico! Bravissimo! Margherita Mussi has done the virtually "impossible" and done it very well (and in a language that is not her native tongue): a book that thoroughly, intelligently synthesizes the Pleistocene prehistory of Italy.[...] This is a landmark book.[...] If you read one work on the Italian Paleolithic, Mussi's magnus opus is it."(Journal of Anthropological Research, 58, 2002)
