&#8220;Gripping.... The tangle of Italia criminale and Italia lite is irresistible; and well worth not resisting.&#8221; &#8212;Los Angeles Times Book Review&#8220;A suspenseful, complex mystery that is beautifully written and filled with humor, rich insight and deep feeling.&#8221; &#8212;The Denver Post&#8220;Dibdin&#8217;s Italy-based Aurelio Zen tales are among the best in the mystery genre&#201;. Dibdin&#8217;s a special writer, onw who is a joy to read.&#8221;  --Boston Globe&#8220;A wholly pleasing and satisfying novel.&#8221; &#8212;San Jose Mercury News"Exceptional. . . . If you like your thrillers impeccably written and sharpened with a political edge, Michael Dibdin's Medusa provides everything from car bombs to secret societies to military intrigue. . . . Zen is appealing human, while Dibdin's insights into Italian history, culture and landscape are packed with atmospheric detail enough to keep readers hanging on through the final page." --San Antonio Express-News  &#8220;The mercenary and the political are . . . sinisterly intertwined. . . . Dibdin is essential reading for those who love mysteries and Italy without illusions.&#8221; --The Washington Post&#8220;Tense and elegantly plotted.&#8221; --Newsday"Dibdin is superb at evoking the exaggerated politics of an era of Italian turmoil and uncertainty. He has always been a master of ambiguous atmosphere, and Medusa is a splendid example of his writing and plotting excellence, as well as his social and political acuity." --The Times (London)  "Remarkable [in the] depth and breadth of its on-the-ground detail." --The New York Times Book Review "Crime writers don't get much better than Michael Dibdin. . . . His prose is characteristically supple, expressive and seductive." --The Independent (London)"[Zen is] a wonderful creation. . . . Dibdin's characters, his wit, his comedy and his loving description of the details of Italian life make this book a special treat." --Pittsburg Post-Gazette"Atmospheric. . . . [A] well-crafted literary mystery." --Seattle Post-Intelligencer"[Dibdin] delves so deeply into Italy's unsavory past and distinctly dodgy present it will have you choking on your grappa. . . . [His] writing is rich with the kind of texture that comes from a profound love of place. There is horror in Medusa, and some unforgettable images of fear, but beneath Dibdin's authorial harshness there lies a tender poetic sensibility. The combination is every bit as effective as Zen's unorthodox methods of detection." --The Herald (Glasgow)&#8220;Seductive. . . Very satisfying. . . . Plunge[s] into the murky politics of Italy in the 1970s.&#8221; --Hartford Advocate"One of the most adrenaline-producing outings for Aurelio Zen in some time." --The Express (London)&#8220;Dibdin&#8217;s work deserves comparison with such . . . giants as Raymond Chandler.&#8221; --The Oregonian"A detective who can slip the boundaries of genre without losing the pace of the chase, from a writer capable of giving a tangible substance to his creations' habitats and haunts." --The Independent on Sunday (London)"Slick. . . . Dibdin is a master of his craft." --Roanoke Times

The human security concept compels us to question prevailing norms and institutions at every level in order to understand why certain individuals and communities fall victim to deprivation and abuse. This excellent collection takes the human security debate forward by focusing upon natural disasters, an area that has been very much under-explored. It is global in outlook and theoretically sophisticated, and it deserves to be read widely for its diverse and authoritative insights.
–Edward Newman, University of Leeds, UK

Freedom from want and freedom from fear, the basic tenets of human security, are never threatened more than when a disaster strikes. At a time when the UN has committed to mainstreaming human security across its policies, this book provides essential insights into how human security can help deal with natural disasters. Rich in their analyses and insightful in their conclusions, the contributions show clearly the potential of human security to shape state responses.

–Matthias C. Kettemann, University of Graz, Austria


A very important book that sheds new light on questions of human security and natural disasters, especially with regard to gender-related issues, public health responses and human rights issues. A wide range of case studies ranging from the Haiti earthquake, Indian Ocean tsunami to Hurricane Katrina bring the reader close to cutting edge critical research on how natural disasters severely affect human security.

–Geoff Wilson, University of Plymouth, UK
This important book, emerging in response to Japan's triple disasters of 2011, draws our attention to the relationship between natural disasters and human security. Aside from illustrating how disasters threaten human security, this volume points to the complex inter-relationship between disasters themselves, the international structural political and economic arrangements that worsen or complicate a response to them, and 'on-the-ground' dynamics of vulnerability, adaptive capacity and resilience within particular communities. This rich set of essays provides one of the more nuanced accounts of a broadened conception of human security, while challenging us to rethink key institutions and practices of 'security' more broadly. As natural disasters increase in intensity and frequency with dynamics of climate change, for example, making sense of how they might be incorporated and approached within current or new institutions will become an ever more urgent enterprise.

–Matt McDonald, The University of Queensland, Australia

"We grew accustomed to live together with machines, which provide us endless access to information. Our computational companions, now in our pockets, have had also a profound impact on how we foresee future scenarios of transformation and change. Now is the moment that we reconsider critically the emergence of new paradigms and protocols that computation has determined within architecture, and this collection of essays establishes a potent cornerstone of a much needed history of that recent past."

Fabrizio Gallanti, associate director, Canadian Centre for Architecture

"It establishes a dialogue between the different fields that question, research, and apply recent digital developments. As such it provides a platform for discussion and questioning, as well as learning." 

Nathalie Rozencwajg, co-founder of RARE architecture and unit master, Architectural Association, UK

"Architecture in Formation expands digital scholarship beyond the tools of creation and the fabricated products to include the theory, processes, and pedagogy of design. This book could serve as a fundamental tool for identifying current trends in digital architecture today that could cross many disciplines." 
Gregory A. Luhan, Associate Dean for Research, University of Kentucky, USA
"Part provocation, part manifesto-by-committee, part historical benchmark, Architecture in Formation is designed as the digital architecture manual for the second digital revolution. Anticipating a merger between theory and practice, the book combines formerly unpublished essays and interviews with architecture professionals, musing on how information processing creates, and is changed by, architecture."

"This beautifully produced book shows how number theory and geometry are essential components to understanding mathematics, with emphasis on teaching and learning such topics. The presentation is excellent and the approach to logic and proofs exemplary. … The book accomplishes the rare feat of presenting some real mathematics in a clear and accessible manner, thereby showing some of the most fundamental ideas of mathematics. It is an engaging text offering the opportunity to a beginner to learn and savor the many ideas involved, and it is also a good resource for readers interested in exploring such ideas. … It is suitable for school teachers and their more able students, particularly those who want enrichment activities for school mathematical societies. It is also an excellent text for liberal arts students at university, and perhaps even for students in science and engineering. Thus, students already familiar with topics such as calculus and differential equations will find the book an enjoyable read to complement what they are used to."—Mathematical Gazette
"Well-rounded approaches to logic and proofs have been achieved in Number, Shape, & Symmetry. … The proofs in this book guide the student from simple ideas … to more advanced ventures … It is good to see the arithmetic developed in detail from the fundamental axioms so that students have a clear understanding of each consequence. It is also good that the authors do not take for granted how to solve equations … The text has a nice, natural build-up in difficulty of problems. … Diane L. Herrmann and Paul J. Sally, Jr., have dedicated a great deal of time to writing the text. … Each section is written to be manageable for students to learn, with just the correct amount of content. When I was reading the text, I thought it was my own personal professor who was not only teaching and presenting material, but was guiding me through each step of the lesson through clear examples, as if presented in a face-to-face class. … On the college level, this is a great book to use as either a primary or supplementary book for a number theory class."—Peter Olszewski, MAA Reviews, August 2013
"All budding mathematicians should have the opportunity to savour this marvelously engaging book. The authors bring to the text an extensive background working with students and have mastered the fine art of both motivating and delighting them with mathematics. Their experience is evident on every page: creative practice problems draw the reader into the discussion, while frequent examples and detailed diagrams keep each section lively and appealing. Herrmann and Sally have carefully charted a course that takes the reader through number theory, introductory group theory, and geometry, with an emphasis on symmetries in the latter two subjects. The result is a labour of love that should inspire young minds for years to come."—Sam Vandervelde, author of Bridge to Higher Mathematics and coordinator of the Mandelbrot Competition
"Number, Shape, & Symmetry accomplishes the rare feat of presenting real and deep mathematics in a clear and accessible manner. This book distills the beauty of some of the most fundamental ideas of mathematics and is a terrific resource for anyone interested in exploring these subjects."—Bridget Tenner, Associate Professor of Mathematics, DePaul University

"This well researched book certainly provides much food for thought for early years educators, and it challenges us all to reflect, question and research the possibilities technology and digital media bring to children’s learning and how they impact on their development." – Barbara Isaacs, Montessori International 
"Technology and Digital Media in the Early Years is a treasure; the content is grounded in learning theory and covers a wide range of technologies and educational practices. An added benefit is the incredible supply of digital and print resources. This book should be required reading for parents, teachers, media developers, and policy makers who are responsible for the next generation’s education." - Barbara T. Bowman, Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Development, Erikson Institute, USA
"At last, a comprehensive, intelligent resource for teachers, teacher educators, and the field in general that discusses both the here and now and the potential of technology and digital media in early childhood education. While offering a snapshot of the ever-changing digital world of devices, software, and websites, Donohue and colleagues have, more importantly, gifted the field with a structured, multidimensional framework that is the clearest path to date for professional decision-making about technology and digital media choices that enhance learning for young children. There are no boogeymen in the closet snatching childhood from the young. It is possible for every child to have access when teachers are supported in their application of developmentally appropriate practices to yet another dynamic educational tool." - Jerlean E. Daniel, Early Childhood Consultant (NAEYC Executive Director from 2010 to 2013)

"This is a unique book that I would thoroughly recommend to all readers to stimulate further thought in and around the issues it covers. Although it is written from a psychoanalytic perspective the text is refreshingly free from theorising and there is very little in its content that would exclude practitioners without psychoanalytic knowledge." Dr Ann Bowes, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, for Therapy Today
"At long last, failure is receiving its psychoanalytic due. This thoughtful, ground breaking compendium approaches failure, not as a deficit, but as an integral aspect of living, and as a necessary experiential component of human experience. This highly recommended book will influence the way that psychotherapy and its expectations are perceived and practiced." - Edgar A. Levenson, M.D., Training & Supervising Analyst, W.A. White Institute, 2006 recipient of the Mary S. Sigourney Award for distinguished contributions to the field of psychoanalysis.
