Watizkin’s book offers an insightful, research-based, political expose via a compelling historical depiction of the invariable link between “medicine” (in the form of health and health services delivery) and “empire,” –Journal of Anthropological Research

"Health-care reform is a lively and contentious topic, but, as Waitzkin shows in this informative study, our debates on reform are too narrowly framed.  His thoughtful analysis raises important questions about conventional assumptions of doctrine and practice and scrutinizes alternatives, among them notably the record of social medicine in Latin America."  
—Noam Chomsky, MIT

“Influenced by Latin American ides of social medicine that link health outcomes to social conditions, Waitzkin (U. of New Mexico) analyzes historical and current patterns of medicine and public health in the Americas within the broader social context of capitalism and American imperialism.  He first considers broad historical theme, including the role of the international health organizations in strengthening the empire, the development of the international market for health products and services, and the impact of resistance to empire on public health and health services in Chile and Cuba.  Turning to more recent issues, he explores the impact of neoliberal policies on public health and medicine, relationships between macroeconomic policies and health, efforts to export the for-profit managed care model of the United States to other countries, the role of international financial institutions in pushing for privatization of health services, the ideologies of the different stakeholders involved in struggles over global trade and public health, and the impact of war on the health of military personnel.  Finally, he presents various social medicine initiatives in Latin America as examples to follow as the empire wanes.” 
—Eithne O’Leyne, June 2011 Reference and Research Book News

"For the past three decades Howard Waitkzkin has been (along with Vicente Navarro) the leading social medicine theorist in the United States. Medicine and Public Health at the End of Empire provides a superb sampling of Waitzkin's wide-ranging work, and a readily accessible introduction."
—Steffie Woolhandler and David Himmelstein in Monthly Review

Introductory Accounting is a breath of fresh air in the accounting library. It dares to depart from the well-trodden path of introductory accounting texts by presenting accounting as a solution to a societal problem, beyond a set of rules. Tinkelman’s problem-solving approach to accounting measurement, carefully embedded in research, will appeal to instructors and students, alike.—Shyam Sunder, Yale School of Management, USA
In this innovative accounting text, Tinkelman combines financial accounting with managerial, introduces relevant research, and organizes topics better than other books. Introductory Accounting should be seriously considered for adoption by any accounting instructor.—Baruch Lev, Leonard N. Stern School of Business, New York University, USA
Tinkelman’s Introductory Accounting is thoughtful and lucidly written, an admirable synthesis of the accounting profession’s longstanding concerns with accounting measurement and modern social science. It provides an intellectually broadminded yet practical foundation in financial and managerial accounting for managers.—Stephen G. Ryan, Leonard N. Stern School of Business, New York University, USA

&#147;Sweet Sunday is set in the tumultuous &#8217;60s. Lawton has done historical crime before, in his excellent (if slightly creepy) series about Inspector Troy, a WWII-era London police detective. This time we&#8217;re in the U.S., where private eye Turner Raines has a specialty: tracking down draft dodgers. . . . Lawton convincingly nails the essence of those chaotic years.&#8221;&#151;Adam Woog, Seattle Times"A sprawling heartbreaker of a novel."&#151;Literary Review"A terrific job . . . excellent at catching the mood of that hot summer of 1969 when the Vietnam War had divided families."&#151;Observer (London)"More than enough verve and wit to ensure page-turning wakefulness."&#151;Sunday Times (UK)"Has all the virtues that have made his work so interesting: a powerfully drawn, conflicted central character, scene-setting of a rate order and (most of all) the kind of characterization that has invoked comparisons with such luminaries as Graham Greene."&#151;Crime Time"Atmospheric . . . absorbingly intelligent."&#151;Financial Times"The structure of the book is complex, with frequent changes of place and time, and the author handles it with skill . . . an absorbing read."&#151;Sunday Telegraph"Beautifully written, in an adventurous, episodic, elegiac style, entirely suitable to its subject matter, this is a marvelously entertaining read and a delightful piece of history viewed from the perspective of its victims."&#151;Morning Star

"I am so grateful to&#160;Kristin Neff for doing the research, study, and teaching that it took to write a book as clear and profound as&#160;Fierce Self-Compassion.&#160;It's no small feat to weave threads from brain science,&#160;psychology, gender studies, history, and spiritual practice into a user-friendly guidebook for women who want to step boldly into their full selves--fierce and tender, kind and powerful, compassionate toward themselves and devoted to healing our world. I recommend this book to everyone."
