"Highly recommended." -- Library Journal"Mr. Indergaard has some useful things to say about what can be rescued from the glory days of Silicon Alley.  He points out that real estate innovations during that period, particularly in the Flatiron District, could be appropriated for the rebuilding of lower Manhattan, specifically in regards to office space and the "open flow of capital." But his strongest argument is that the most important change during the period was in the culture of young people." -- The New York Sun"Mr. Indergaard has some useful things to say about what can be rescued from the glory days of Silicon Alley.

' ... there can be no doubting the commitment to change and subversion of oppressive practices in psychology which the co-authors of this book display, and in this respect if puffs fresh air into those dark, dusty cloisters of mainstream psychology.' - Alexa Hepburn, Staffordshire University, in Feminism and Psychiatry 1998'I am deeply moved by the messages of this book which convey sharp and focused information regarding the regulatory power of psychological practices and resistance to receiving customary psychological knowledge. I do not remember reading a book with such interests and energy in recent months, the most attractive part of this book is that each paper takes the readers to an exciting ride, in which the readers are given the choice of either taking a selection route, or a route of tension of resistance. I would like to congratulate each author for delegating such powerful analysis across and beyond the boundary of psychological knowledge and practice.' - Manfusa Shams, University of Luton in BPS Psychology and Women Section Newsletter No.21 1998'... this is an important polemical and predagogical text which is aimed at an audience of readers who are engaged with the practice and theory of psychology. This would include psychologists of various persuasions, professionals who draw on psychological concepts and methods, and postgraduate students seeking a more reflexive and institutionally located analysis of the psycholgical discipline. It deserves analysis of the psychological discipline. It deserves no less that to be read, and talked about, and used, and resisted.' - Lindy Wilbraham, Rhodes University, Grahamstown in PINS No 25 1999.

'... attempts most successfully to restore the Jews to view' -  Greece & Rome'... the book should be warmly recommended. Not the least of its virtues is that almost all the chapters - probably due to their origin as orally presented contributions - are highly informative without being unduly technical. The Jews among pagans and Christians offers historians of the Greco-Roman world a valuable introduction to current debates and controversies on the history of Diaspora Judaism, as well as food for thought on the religious history of the Roman Empire in general' - Mnemosyne, Volume XLIX

"School Bullying comes at a time of increasing concern about the harmful effects of bullying on children’s and young people’s health and the increasing awareness on the right of children to be protected from bullying. This well written and engaging book presents a comprehensive guide for educators in understanding, preventing and stopping school bullying. It is very well researched, and one of its major strengths is the way it translates research and theory into accessible and practical suggestions for educators and practitioners in preventing and stopping bullying in schools. Each chapter includes practical activities like Points for reflection, Trends and issues, and Ideas for schools and classroom, and closes with Guidelines for school practice, What the reader has learned, an activity and list of references. The book takes also a systemic perspective complimented by a strengths based approach, underling the benefits of prosocial and harmonious relationships as the antithesis to bullying. This book is an ideal text for initial teacher education courses on the promotion of mental health and healthy relationships and prevention of school bullying. It should find its way in every school library as a practical and accessible reference for school leaders, teachers, educators, and other mental health practitioners. This is THE book for anyone who wants a comprehensive, balanced, accessible, well researched but practical guide on school bullying." - Prof Carmel Cefai, Director Centre for Resilience and Socio-Emotional Health, University of Malta

"Aimed at school professionals, this book provides a detailed account of school bullying, from theories to assessing and coping with bullying in school. (...) This book would be helpful for someone in the teaching profession to prompt them to think more about bullying" - Youthinmind

'The authors are to be commended on synthesizing a wide range of Japanese primary and secondary sources for the anglophone world, and this clearly written book will serve as a jumping-off point for further studies.' - Nicholas J. White, Liverpool John Moores University, UK'the authors are to be commended for drawing on a wide range of unpublished archival material and including numerous maps and photographs of early twentieht-century Singapore. In addition, the link made between the economic, social and political dimensions of Japan's relations with Singapore renders this book recommended reading for those interested in the historical relations between two of East Asia's economic achievers.' - Asian Studies Review

'This book by the Professor Emeritus of Roman Imperial History at Lancaster University, is one of the very readable Lancaster pamphlets series produced by Routledge.

I really enjoyed this book and found its style particularly engaging. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others'– SATH, History Teaching Review

"At last: the handbook on biodiversity conservation in Latin America and the Caribbean we all have needed... with all the considerations necessary for best practice choices... a revolutionary contribution." – Tom Lovejoy, University Professor, George Mason University and Senior Fellow, United Nations Foundation. 
"A great addition to literature, this book starts by describing LAC biodiversity’s status and progresses to a critical study of the main conservation policies. It is here that the book excels becoming a fascinating read for those involved in the field and a compulsory one from the management and education perspective." – Francisco Alpízar, Founder, Latin American and Caribbean Environmental Economics Program (LACEEP), Director, Economics and Environment for Development (EfD-CATIE) and Associate Professor, Department of Economics, University of Gothenburg. 
"This book has been instrumental in setting new directions for conservation investments at the Interamerican Development Bank and provides the foundation for more effective policy in the future." –Michele Lemay, Natural Resources Lead Specialist, Inter-American Development Bank.
"This book provides a wealth of data and information, a clear-eyed assessment of the challenges to biodiversity conservation in the region, and a valuable framework for prioritizing policies. It makes it clear that mainstreaming biodiversity will require a continuous and coherent process in which early and well planned commitments will reduce overall costs." – Carlos Manuel Rodríguez, Vice President, Conservation International and Former Minister of Environment, Costa Rica.

'The book is laid out well and is an easy read; I particularly liked the "What can help" boxes which stand out well on a page. I liked the way each section gave a clear explanation of its focus topic followed by a range of suggestions for future action. The authors are explicit about their aims for their book, recognising that there are no "quick fixes", but that it will begin to address the issue, providing possible reasons for extreme behaviours in young children and practical suggestions for handling such. I would happily recommend this book to colleagues in education; in fact have already started to do so.' - Jill McMinn, Advisory Teacher Speech, Language, Communication, Wrexham
