“Steven Sangren’s book Filial Obsessions is a transformative intervention into the study of filial piety in the Chinese context … and densely packed theoretically informed thinking about desire, childhood development, fantasy, alienation, subjecthood or subjectivity, intergenerational relationships, relations between the terrestrial and celestial realms, ritual, gods, and adherence to the rule of law and decorum. … This is an important discussion of the subject that all scholars interested in the anthropology of Chinese societies must read.” (Christopher Lupke, China Review International, Vol. 23 (03). 2016)​

Praise for Miss Iceland&nbsp;

"An absorbing, bittersweet tale...this captivating novel’s finest component is its endearing heroine who, at her journey’s end, has learned to follow her dreams but know her limits." —The Economist

“This quietly moving tale of friendship and artistic fulfillment will appeal to readers of Elena Ferrante and Margaret Atwood, and the unusual setting offers an interesting twist on the portrait of an artist as a young woman." —Bookpage 



“As elegantly cold and foreboding as the Icelandic landscape itself, Olafsdottir’s languid and melancholy portrait of a writer with a singular passion demonstrates the sacrifices women have always made for their art.” —Booklist



“A potent, atmospheric story of creative frustration and fulfilment. I loved the wry, tender voice of Ólafsdóttir's narrator. I'm now going to read all of&nbsp;her other novels.”—Megan Hunter, author of The End We Start From&nbsp;

“Helka, trying to make it in the big city, a woman in 1960's Reykjavik weighed down by expectation and constraint.  I so wanted Helka to get away and be free, to slap the hands that felt her up and to ditch the boyfriend. Only a great book can make you feel you're really there, a thousand miles and a generation away. I loved it.” —Kit de Waal

“In her sixth novel, award-winning author Ólafsdóttir paints a vivid portrait of Iceland: cold weather, volcanic eruptions, northern lights, whale hunting, darkness, sexism, and homophobia. . . . In this excellent introduction to her work, Ólafsdóttir creates a world where either escape or hiding one’s true nature are the only choices.” —Library Journal

“Ólafsdóttir’s graceful and quiet tale of feminism, alienation, and artistic expression centers around Hekla, a young Icelandic woman who wants to become a writer in a male-dominated literary world…Ólafsdóttir tenderly explores how these authentic characters help each other overcome their fears and doubts. This winning tale of friendship and self-fulfillment will inspire readers.”—Publishers Weekly (starred, boxed review)

“A beautiful book. It is at once a poetic, light-hearted narrative filled with endearing characters; and yet also a sharply edged social critique that is caustic and righteous in its portrayal of the enduring nature of sexism, misogyny and homophobia. Above all, it leaves the reader feeling buoyed and optimistic, despite the serious and oppressive nature of its subject matter. It's a powerful portrayal of a woman's struggle for freedom in the 1960s, but its true lesson is for the present, as a gorgeously crafted reminder of the tenacious nature of discrimination and hate, and the determination and commitment that is often required to overcome it.”—Popmatters.com

International Praise for Miss Iceland&nbsp;

“Delicate, melancholic and powerful...a luminous portrait of a young woman in search of freedom.”—Lire

“If you have never read Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir, get Miss Iceland immediately”—Vanity Fair&nbsp;(France)

“Her best work. A work that will live on.”—Fréttablaðið

“Each new novel by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir is like a meeting with a marvelous friend that immediately makes you feel like you have never parted.”—Madame Figaro

“With Miss Iceland, Auður Ava&nbsp;Ólafsdóttir relishes us with all the best things literature can offer.’’—Morgunblaðið 

“A wonderful novel about freedom, creation and accomplishment.”— Marie Claire (France)

“Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir relishes us with all the best things literature can offer.” 

–Júlía Margrét Alexandersdóttir, Morgunblaðið

 “Ólafsdóttir’s specialty is the small journeys we take to save ourselves and the ones we care for. She is the heart’s finest map-maker.”—Sjón  



Praise for Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir:



“Olafsdottir’s writing is at once profoundly Icelandic — focusing the reader on all the particularity of life on that isolated island — and universal...her authorial voice is immediate and intimate, yet it feels remote from the Anglophone world.”—Financial Times 



“Ólafsdóttir upends expectations.”—New York Times

"A clear, practitioner-friendly guide to incorporating SCD into tiered systems of intervention in schools. This book provides tools to help all educators evaluate students response to intervention in a scientifically rigorous manner. Procedures for integrating SCD across all tiers of an MTSS framework are provided. Importantly, readers will find guidance to align special education services with the latest legal mandates, which require the use of a defensible, data-driven process for evaluating response to intervention. I look forward to using this text in my methods courses for students who are seeking teacher certification. Students will leave with tools they can immediately implement in their classrooms to improve outcomes for their students. Another home run from this top-notch team of authors!"--Christopher J. Lemons, PhD, Department of Special Education, Peabody College of Vanderbilt University "An essential resource for practicing education professionals, as well as students preparing to work in schools. Recognizing the crucial role of data-based decision making within schoolwide problem-solving models, this book offers valuable information and insights regarding the use of SCDs. The authors are leading scholars who provide a synthesis of contemporary science on this effective methodology. The second edition includes significant updates in science, practice, and policy."--Shane R. Jimerson, PhD, NCSP, Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, University of California, Santa Barbara "The book addresses critical components of evaluation and data-based decision making within a multi-tiered framework. It gives preservice educators a better understanding of foundational evaluation strategies that support meaningful outcomes for students receiving tiered supports. It also provides more in-depth information for school specialists with a higher skill set. Given the current educational emphasis on more effective and efficient intervention, this book provides needed guidance."--Steve Goodman, PhD, Director, Michigan&#39;s MTSS Technical Assistance Center "Although school-based professionals and policymakers give considerable attention to implementing evidence-based practices, the importance of scientifically evaluating the effectiveness of particular interventions has largely been ignored. This definitive book provides school-based professionals with comprehensive guidelines for doing just that. Step-by-step procedures and case examples illustrate how to apply, analyze, and interpret SCDs to determine intervention effectiveness. A major contribution to the field, this updated second edition is essential reading for practitioners working within an MTSS framework, as well as for university training programs in school psychology, education, and special education.--Tanya L. Eckert, PhD, Department of Psychology, Syracuse University-
