"This volume offers sober analysis of the deep socio-political roots triggering today’s repressive crime control policies. The contributors show the dangers of complacency and the urgent need for progressive resistance. Masterfully edited by Walter DeKeseredy and Elliott Currie, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking guidance on how to advance a more humane justice system within an era defined by the Trump presidency."
Francis T. Cullen, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati

"Reading this book provoked many thoughts about the enormity of the challenges posed across a whole spectrum of crime-related issues. However, it was also a reminder of the expertise and commitment to change that exists in the criminological community. A beacon of light in dark times."
Tony Jefferson, Professor Emeritus, Keele University

From the reviews:

"Morphotectonics, the examination of the genetic relationships between topography and underlying tectonic or structural features within the crust, has been a rapidly developing field of the Earth sciences in recent years. … The book has quite a good list of references and an index. … In summary, this is a highly focused work … . The work deserves a space in university libraries, and is more likely to be used as a reference source … ." (Colin Murray-Wallace, Newsletter of the Geological Society of Australia, Issue 135, June, 2005)
"The present volume is devoted to the concept that drainage patterns on Earth are largely controlled by bedrock joints that have been produced tectonically. This has been a favorite theme of his scholarship for many years, and this volume pulls together in a coherent presentation much of the earlier work that has been published bit by bit in journals. … Extensive bibliography. An excellent guide. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (H. N. Pollack, Choice, Vol. 42 (3), 2004)

"The incredible strength of the volume becomes clear with a close read of introductions and these selections from the essays offered: few volumes today offer the depth of personal reflection, from such markedly different scholarly voices and traditions, across such a breadth of scholarly interests. Crisis, Call, and Leadership is a pleasure to browse and to study." - Lisa M. Hess, United Theological Seminary (OH)

'Scriptural reasoning, the growing practice of Jews, Christians, and Muslims reading their scriptures together, makes good academic and common sense in a time of crisis. This ground-breaking book, the outcome of an imaginative 3-year experiment by the Princeton Center of Theological Inquiry, shows scholars and thinkers of the Abrahamic traditions going deeper into the traditions and into their contemporary situation. The result is something new, wise, and relevant full of promise for the future. Where else can one find testimonies to Jews, Christians, and Muslims coming together not only in study, thinking, and wisdom-seeking but also in play, joy, and friendship?' - David F. Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge and Director, Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s clear as soon as you crack the cover that Ivy Mix long ago left her heart somewhere beneath the Tropic of Cancer. Her passion for the remarkably diverse spirits, peoples, and lands radiates from each page, and her book (and bar, Leyenda) are a testament to her desire to share them with us. Like the first sip of an ice-cold cocktail on a warm San Juan night, this book refreshes and delights.&rdquo;&mdash;Martin Cate, author and owner of Smuggler&rsquo;s Cove, San Francisco &#160; &ldquo;Smartly written and beautifully photographed, Spirits of Latin America is a necessary addition to any thoughtful spirit lover&rsquo;s library. Ivy Mix goes far beyond technical insight and gets to the heart of what actually makes these spirits so special: the people who make them, the cultures from which they were born, and the lands that contribute so much to their personality. We&rsquo;re brought not just on a journey into her deep passion for agave, sugarcane, and grape spirits but are allowed to ride shotgun as Ivy explores the nuance of each, brings to life the voices of those who put their soul into every drop, and cultivates an appreciation for the deep heritage and tradition that are entwined with their stories.&rdquo;&mdash;Alex Day, co-author of Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions and Death & Co: Modern Classic Cocktails &#160; &ldquo;In this book, Ivy Mix reveals the roots of her inspiration: Latin American spirits, and her personal experience of the culture behind them. This book plumbs the depths&mdash;and provides a vivid portrait&mdash;of the spirits that have inspired cocktails that have taken the world by storm. You will not only get a first-class ticket to the places that have given birth to Latin American drink culture but exciting and easy to execute recipes that will appeal to home cocktail enthusiast and seasoned bar pro alike&mdash;Saludos!&rdquo;&mdash;Shannon Mustipher, beverage director of Glady&rsquo;s Caribbean, Brooklyn, and author of Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails &#160; &ldquo;With Spirits of Latin America, Ivy Mix has thrown open the doors to one of the most shadowy, but also most interesting, sections of the liquor cabinet. I can't read more than a couple of pages of this engaging, informative book without getting thirsty; and the more I read, the thirstier I get.&rdquo;&mdash;David Wondrich, author of Imbibe! and Punch &#160; &ldquo;Ivy&rsquo;s unique combination of taste, talent, and tenacity make her the ideal &lsquo;spirit&rsquo; guide, and her subject has long deserved this close and careful attention. My advice: listen, learn, and drink up.&rdquo;&mdash;Steven Soderbergh, filmmaker, professional drinker, and owner of Singani 63
