From the reviews of the second edition:

"This is the second edition of Dr. S. Bert Litwin’s ‘Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery.’ … All students, residents and practicing cardiothoracic surgeons will benefit from reviewing these superb photographs of the anterior surface anatomy of the heart. … This atlas should be a key reference in the library of all children’s hospitals, especially in those institutions where pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery fellows are in training. … provide useful information to any student of congenital heart disease at any point in his/her career." (John J. Lamberti, Congential Cardiology Today, September, 2009)

From the reviews:“This nearly 500-pages thick book covers almost everything around the topic of how aging and age-related diseases might be affected by epigenetic processes. … Understanding the drifting and stochastic nature of aging is crucial for making any use of the epigenetic pathways to intervention, and for developing future directions in research. I surely recommend this book, which will help to open up many doors towards achieving that.” (Suresh I. S. Rattan, Biogerontology, Vol. 12, 2011)

Elektromyographie und Goniometrie der menschlichen Gehbewegung

'This is a must read book to everyone who is interested in the intersection of law and religion in the contemporary world. In a rich and interdisciplinary volume, the authors reveal how persistent religious claims are in Western legal systems and offer a normative account of how religion and the rule of law can (and should) coexist in the public sphere and even empower one another. Topidi & Fielder bring an impressive collection of articles that shake-up the traditional thinking. Be ready for an intellectual challenge!'
Liav Orgad, Harvard University, USA
'Religion as empowerment is a wide-ranging collective book exploring the universe of "Law and Religion" from different angles and with reference to various cultural and legal experiences.　 The overall scenario depicts a post-secular world, where religion is "lurking in the background" as another form of claimed legal authority. Through the lenses of legal pluralism, the authors explore the normative dialogue between religion and law furnishing invaluable insights for legal scholars as well as for practitioners.'
Domenico Amirante, The Second University of Naples, Italy
'This book is about the manifold legal tools provided by official law and by religious and cultural traditions and about their capacity to provide justice. Interdisciplinary case studies of topical interest from various corners of the world accentuate the impact of theoretical legal approaches on individual people’s lives. A recommended reading and a stimulus for further research.'
Wolfgang Wieshaider, University of Vienna, Austria

From the reviews of the third edition:
"....The book covers a very wide range of phenomena within the large subject of grand unification and supersymmetry in elementary particle physics. Almost every possible development in the field is included here."-Mathreviews.com
"An extremely useful resource for graduate students and researchers, this textbook, which was derived from a course given at the University of Maryland for advanced graduate students deals with some of the latest developments in our attempts to construct a unified theory of nature’s fundamental interactions. … I can safely recommend this textbook, which gives a fairly complete and self-contained theoretical treatment of the subject." (Georges Kohnen, Physicalia, Vol. 57 (2), 2005)

Since the earliest of times, across myriad civilisations that have come and gone, ceramics endure. Each sherd tells us of the discipline’s discreet history, but also so much more. Ceramics form the fabric of societies and their anthropological connections to individuals and societies paint detailed and intimate pictures. Paul Greenhalgh takes the reader across the centuries citing links and dialogues between the modern and the ancient. To be able to step back and take in the panoply of this vast subject and select appropriate and relevant examples is an affirming indicator of a deep, specialist and eloquent knowledge. There are very few people qualified to take on a task such as this. Greenhalgh is one of a few and probably the best equipped to do so.

From the book reviews:“Chronic Postsurgical Pain, a first edition edited by G. Mick and V. Guastella, is a thorough … review of the risk factors, evaluation, and preventative strategies for chronic pain resulting from surgical intervention. … the anesthesiologist whose focus is on patient-centred postsurgical pain would appreciate reading this book and possibly gain new insight into some research being performed in this field.” (Ronald B. George, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, Vol. 61, 2014)“The purpose is to highlight the silent epidemic of chronic postsurgical pain and provide some evidence-based guidelines for its management. These worthy objectives are thoroughly met. … Although the book is intended for chronic pain physicians, anyone who treats such patients, like primary care physicians, would find it very helpful. … a good read for surgeons who often find it hard to believe how prevalent this condition is. … This is the only book wholly dedicated to chronic postsurgical pain.” (Tariq M. Malik, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2014)

The Godfather. Book with audio and digital version

I never learned Latin or Greek; I wasn't raised on the classics, even in translation. All my sense of the ancient world - its values, its style, the scent of its wars and passions - comes from Mary Renault. Her Theseus novels are perhaps the most exciting of her Greek fictions, and The Last of the Wine the most moving. I think I turned to writing historical fiction because of something I learned from Renault: that it lets you shake off the mental shackles of your own era, all the categories and labels, and write freely about what really matters to you

“The result is a well-researched, lucid and, for the most part, objective analysis of the steps necessary to prevent a collapsed North Korea from wreaking havoc in Northeast Asia and beyond. … will be of interest to Korea and East Asia specialists, whether from academia or from policymaking. It is recommended for those who want a broad and comprehensive overview of the challenges that Korean reunification would—or will, following from the author’s train of thought—entail.” (Ramon Pacheco Pardo, Pacific Affairs, pacificaffairs.ubc.ca, July, 2017)

"[O]ne senses throughout that Hellings is testing his own ideas and critical persuasions through, and with, Adorno, which is illuminating in the light of his rather good discussion of subjectivity and objectivity within both aesthetic theory and art making in general."

"[Hellings] makes Adorno's thought vivid for the present, especially in his attempts to think through contemporary artistic and political practices."

»Ein großartiges Buch. Ich habe Wüstenstern gelesen und dabei alles um mich herum vergessen. Pure Magie!« Stephen King»Im
 Klein-Klein der Polizeiarbeit – und in seiner Mickey-Haller-Reihe in 
den Tiefen eines Anwalts-Jobs – kennt Michael Connelly sich aus. Und er 
bekommt es hin, selbst die Details der Ermittlungsabläufe, die 
polizeilichen Schreibtischmühen noch spannend zu machen.« Sylvia Staude / Frankfurter Rundschau»[Michael
 Connelly] zeigt seine ganze Klasse, wenn er die Fahndung nach den 
kleinsten womöglich übersehenen Indizien als leisen Thriller 
inszeniert.« Hartmut Wilmes / Kölnische Rundschau»Wüstenstern lehrt einen mehr über unsere Zeit als viele soziologische Studien.« Hans Durrer / Bücher &Bilder»Man ist verführt, Wüstenstern einen der besten Romane von Michael Connelly zu nennen, aber wahrscheinlich geht es einem nach fast jedem Buch des Autors so.« Stefan Maelck / MDR Kultur
