"As a scholarly look at Grove's cultural achievement, Counterculture Colophon is enormously valuable. Its attention to the paratexts of Grove volumes, particularly Roy Kuhlman's book covers, are illuminating, and its account of the globalization of the literary marketplace during the postwar era will interest both literary scholars and book historians."

Counterculture Colophon

From the reviews:“The editors have managed to compile an excellent handbook with contributions by leading scholars in risk theory. Although aimed at experts with a scientific background in risk, many of the book chapters would not be misplaced in (post)graduate courses on risk theory. In addition to the content, the book is carefully edited, with a brief table of content and list of references for each of the chapters, making the chapters also easily accessible on an individual basis.” (Neelke Doorn, Science and Engineering Ethics, April, 2012)“The Handbook of Risk Theory takes it to the big city, right downtown, and explicates it from the expansive perspectives of leading academics and theorists from a wide range of disciplines. This anthology attempts, admirably, to capture the boundlessness of risk—like trying to catch lightning in a bottle—through the lens of risk theory. … It is … a magnum opus in the field of risk theory. Once you’ve read through the book’s 1187 pages, you’ll certainly know ‘risk’ well before you see it.” (Outward Bound International Journal, 2012)

From the reviews:

"The uniqueness theory of transcendental meromorphic functions goes back to R. Nevanlinna who proved that any non-constant meromorphic function can be determined by five values applying the value distribution theory established by himself. … This book is the first exposition systematically summarizing recent results, and also presenting useful skills in this field."

I teach graduate courses on Surface Analysis and on Surface Science (with a strong component of Surface Analysis). I was so impressed with the first edition of this book that I intended to adopt it for my class but, unfortunately, it was soon out-of-print. I encouraged John O'Connor to prepare another edition of this jewel that I could use in the future. What distinguishes this book from others is the very unusual breadth. It covers fundamentals, practical issues of analyses, and concrete applications to the analysis of metals, semiconductors, polymers, and ceramics (including minerals).
Quote from Prof. Raul Baragiola, University of Virginia
From the reviews of the second edition:
"More than 30 experts have contributed to this book providing a wealth of expertise based on theoretical as well as practical background. … the book can be recommended not only to university students but also to scientists and engineers working in industry. It will help to find the appropriate method, or better the combination of methods, which will be needed to solve problems in process control and failure analysis." (W. Oesterle, Werkstoffe und Korrosion/Materials and Corrosion, Vol. 55 (3), 2004)

In dem satirischen Beziehungsroman "Laura und der ganz normale Wahnsinn"
begegnen sich unterschiedliche Personentypen der heutigen Zeit. Alltagssituationen
werden ebenso ironisch beschrieben wie Erfahrungen aus dem Flughafen- und
Bankmilieu. Die Hauptperson Laura, eine attraktive, gestresste Bodenstewardess,
lebt mit ihrem nicht sehr strebsamen Freund Martin (BWL-Student) zusammen.
Gleichzeitig lernt Laura den erfolgreichen, dynamischen Unternehmensberater
Leander und den Flugkapit&auml;n Peter kennen. Peter und Leander verlieben sich
in Laura und umwerben sie auf unterschiedliche Weise. Dabei kommt es immer
wieder zu Missverst&auml;ndnissen und Laura wei&szlig; nicht, f&uuml;r wen der drei M&auml;nner
sie sich entscheiden soll. Weitere handelnde Personen sind unter anderem
Lauras Nachbarn Ottmar (Filialleiter) und seine Frau Schnucki (Hausfrau).
Hinter der Fassade dieses "Vorzeigeehepaares" kriselt es gewaltig: Ottmar,
ist heimlich mit der Freundin von Laura liiert und beabsichtigt, &uuml;ber diese
das Schokoladenimperium ihres Vaters zu &uuml;bernehmen.

"Pediatric Hematology, Methods and Protocols, is an excellent reference book for physicians and scientists who serve pediatric patients in the specialty of hematology.  This book is a valuable technical manual for laboratory scientists to set up new diagnostic tests and to troubleshoot and improve their current diagnostic methods.  It is also a very practical guideline for physicians to choose relevant tests to arrive at correct diagnoses in light of clinical history and symptoms.  The book is well organized, concisely written, and easy to understand.  To the best of my knowledge, no other book describes the molecular diagnostic methods of pediatric hematologic disorders in such detail.  I highly recommend this book for laboratories of hematology and molecular diagnosis in hospitals serving pediatric patients."     -Society for Pediatric Pathology

"The information in this book is clearly expressed...a useful and practical text for laboratory scientists..." - Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health

"Latin American Science Fiction is an essential and timely book. Brown and Ginway have masterfully collected valuable texts that capture the current sci-fi sensibility and provide compelling insights into a growing and mutating genre in the region. The critical scope and depth make this an indispensable volume that discloses the complexity of Latin American literature and film well beyond and away from the clichéd perception that it all boils down to magic realism and sociopolitical costumbrismo." - Mike Wilson, Assistant Professor, Facultad de Letras, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and author of El púgil, Zombie and Rockabilly

"This study contributes to a better understanding of how Latin American science fiction, although sharing a similar historical context and cultural tradition, is far from homogeneous. Its diversity is highlighted by different theoretical approaches and thematic perspectives of the contributors. A valuable book." - Marcello Simão Branco, co-author of Brazilian Yearbook of Fantastic Literature

»Einfach unvergesslich bleiben die Zeichnungen von Axel Scheffler. Dazu die Geschichte über den Ausflug des Tier-Duos in Reimen. Wunderschön.« Hamburger Morgenpost

»In der Kombination aus den detailreichen Zeichnungen und den humorvollen Reimen entsteht ein eigenwilliger Charme, der einen sofort in diese Geschichte hineinzieht. Die Zeichnungen sind kindlich, aber nicht kindisch, farbenfroh, aber nicht kitschig. Eine Gratwanderung, die beide Autoren schon in ihrem früheren Buch, dem Grüffelo, zur Perfektion gebracht haben.« Frankfurter Rundschau

»Die wunderschönen Bilderbücher dieses erfolgreichen Duos gehören zum Besten, was man Kindern schenken kann. Hier vereinen sie die Themen Freundschaft, Fernweh, Gefahr und Rettung in einer zauberhaften Geschichte, wie immer genial gereimt von Julia Donaldson und grandios gezeichnet von Axel Scheffler.« Brigitte
