"With the U.S. 40% (1900), 50% (1950) and shortly 80% urbanized, this topic and how we approach it is key. With little jargon, Jassen Callender did it – offering a high level yet gritty users guide that is not another checklist but deals with relationships and correlations to guide us into the future." 

—Pliny Fisk III, co-founder and co-director of the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems, First Annual Sacred Tree Award – USGBC, Solar Pioneer Year 2000 American Solar Energy Society, Advisor MacArthur, Gates, and Enterprise Foundations, and Emeritus Professor Texas A&M University
"Finally (at last!), a book that presents a strong, interconnected framework for both breadth- and depth- thinking about how cities need to be designed in order to be healthier, durable, and long-lasting places. Building Cities to LAST presents refreshing and thoughtful guidance asking us to consider Life Cycle Analysis from the start, rather than at the end of the design process."

“The rich and wide-ranging book offers a critical dialogue with many contemporary philosophers, debates, and viewpoints. It includes ten chapters and one appendix on philosophical topics associated with the concept of scientific objectivity as the key to the scientific understanding of reality. … the book recommends itself because of its great clarity, while also deservig a careful reading because of the complexity of its structure and the organic unity of its parts.” (Marco Buzzoni, Journal for General Philosophy of Science, Vol. 47, 2016)

"Once or twice in a generation of academics and scholars comes something that brings together a myriad of speculations, holds them in tension, and takes flight in new directions. After Childhood is precisely that thing; it is a game changer – a new play-book – for the field of childhood studies. 
Peter Kraftl’s radical interdisciplinary perspective brings together geologies, archaeologies, nano-technologies, historical cuttings, bio-sciences, alien phenomenologies, queer alliances, speculative fabulations and other persuasions not often found in childhood studies to produce a playful, chilling and infinitely practical guide to apprehending the complexities of Anthropocenic childhoods. From the first chapter, which takes pains to explain how the ways ‘after-‘ mediates the limitations of the post-humanities, new materialism, and object-oriented ontologies, through chapters that thoughtfully and humbly delve into and beyond (infra)generations, resource power, energy and plastics (where children come into, and ‘phase’ out of, focus), to the last chapter where he purposefully centers children, Kraftl is careful not to present a de-terittorialization and re-territorialization, or a de-centering and a re-centering. Rather, Kraftl uses what he calls a ‘pull focus’ as an analytic device to turn towards notions of ‘arts of (not) noticing’. With analysis and stories from Birmingham to Brazil, the complexities of issues implicating children (and their human, non-human, more-than-human relations and generations) are elaborated by Kraftl in critical, humbling, perplexing and yet hopeful ways. 
After Childhoods will radically alter how we think and do childhood studies."
- Stuart C. Aitken, Albert W. Johnson Distinguished Professor, Alumni Association Distinguished Faculty Member, June Burnett Endowed Chair, San Diego State University, USA
"After Childhood is a much-needed breath of fresh air into childhood studies, particularly that in the new materialist and posthumanist vein. Working from his frustration with some of current childhood scholarship, Peter Kraftl offers ambitious new openings while remaining humble and aware of the contributions and work done so far in the field. 
Kraftl’s book is a gentle, yet passionate and adamant push further for every childhood scholar. The book succeeds in disturbing one’s sense of comfort and accomplishment at the face of increasingly complex environmental and social challenges that cut across and matter to children in sometimes even traumatizing ways. It is clear we need to do more and to think more, and differently. And for this After Childhood provides new terminology, resurrects old approaches and suggests creative couplings. 
For one, Kraftl suggests we cannot begin with childhoods or where the child is. Rather we need to first move children as if out of the focus, and only after locate children’s positions within the given situations or phenomena studied. Imperative, to Kraftl, is that this endeavor is a collective one: that childhood scholars join forces with others in and beyond social sciences. The book provides empirical examples of this as Kraftl discusses a range of interdisciplinary collaborations from social media analyses to nanoscientific techniques, all the while asking: "Where, exactly, is the child?"
- Pauliina Rautio, Senior Research Fellow, University of Oulu, Finland
"The cliché that children are the future has been rebutted in childhood studies, in favour of a focus on children’s lives in the present. Yet this way of thinking increasingly seems untenable in a world characterised by rapid environmental and technological change, in which troubling visions of the future have become impossible to ignore. 

In After Childhood, Peter Kraftl tackles head on the difficult task of rethinking childhood in a way fit for such uncertain times. In recognition of the complexity of Anthropocene childhoods, the book draws together a dizzying array of empirical and theoretical material: object orientated ontology, feminist, queer and critical race theory; research data from Brazil and the UK; arts-based methods, digital media analysis, archaeologies of childhood and experiments with biosampling; as well as a welcome engagement with questions of energy, to complement recent new materialist analyses of childhood.

What emerges from this work is a set of speculative but generative new ways of thinking and doing ‘after childhood’. As such, this book will be essential reading for anyone concerned with how childhood relates to the wider forces, materials and temporalities of our planet."
- Michael Gallagher, Reader, Faculty of Education, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
"Childhood studies has been waiting for a book like this. Theoretically sophisticated, empirically rich and lucidly argued, After Childhood makes a critical multidisciplinary intervention that invites us to imagine childhood otherwise.　 Through a brilliant process of "decentring and recentring, speeding up and slowing down, scaling up and scaling down," Peter Kraftl reconfigures the counters of childhood and responds to the literature on climate justice. After Childhood comes at a critical turning point when young people demand climate action around the world. It not only shows the role that young people play in climate justice, but it also compels childhood researchers to create a critical-creative theoretical lens in their research. This is a book that all readers in childhood related disciplines must read."
- Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw, Professor, Western University, Canada
"Over more than a decade the social study of childhood has been one of the fields drawing on and contributing to the turn towards interdisciplinarity, relational materialism and cognate developments. Peter Kraftl has been on the forefront of this movement and in his new book he draws together these threads, exposes some of the problems and issues they raise and points to the new directions that might now be taken. It is a substantial contribution that indicates some new ways of asking questions as well as broadening the field of enquiry in promising and exciting ways. It should be read by university teachers, childhood researchers, postgraduate students and anyone interested in the terms of debate for multi-disciplinary effort across many different fields."
- Alan Prout, Professor Emeritus, University of Leeds, United Kingdom

After Childhood

"… Barton presents … a bran-tub of ideas, which the reader can dip into at will to pull out prizes. … eminently enjoyable … strongly recommended to physicists and non-physicists alike." -Physics World "… a good Christmas present … this unpretentious but happy book ... Barton is extraordinarily good at developing a sense of how scientists think and refine their vision of reality … virtually anyone … will find much to entertain and instruct them." -Angewandte Chemie "Without an equation in sight, it deals with the conceptual models we use to describe everything from the building blocks of an atom or the behaviour of complex mixtures of molecules to the evolution of universes. … good background reading for a keen student trying to get to grips with modern physical chemistry … offers teachers new approaches to what they teach … How many states of matter are there? Barton makes it clear that the possibilities are endless. It all depends on how you perceive things." -New Scientist "… excellent book … The author has very definitely succeeded in his quest … Each of the 15 chapters ends with a very helpful set of notes … an essential addition to the school library."  -Gordon Miller, School Science Review  "… sets out the basic ideas of physics and chemistry with considerable clarity and in a style suitable for non-scientists, and science students, … science teachers will find it full of useful ways of presenting scientific ideas …" -ASLIB Book Guide "… a very illuminating read. Light, energy, and foce are the primary concerns of this volume which is almost equally involved with semiotics and language." -The Beacon, November/December 1998
