Taking a Cross Cultural Perspective

Values and Behavior

From the reviews:"Dr John A Mathis, who is past-president of the American Society of Spine Radiology and a leading authority on vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, has edited review format contributions from selected (almost exclusively) North American authors. Concise overviews are provided of all these topics. This volume is targeted at physicians interested in utilising the various percutaneous techniques available in managing back pain. … There are more than 300 illustrations, providing examples of technique and pitfalls. … This book provides an excellent overview for those already involved in image-guided spinal work or those in other interventional fields hoping to establish a service and is recommended." (Dr. A Saifuddin, Dr. R Hughes, RAD Magazine, September, 2005)From the reviews of the second edition: “This is an excellent text on discography and C arm directed imaging of spinal disc degeneration and its decompression. This is a very good illustration of percutaneous techniques used by anesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, and orthopaedic surgeons. … I highly recommend this book for all neurologists and neurosurgeons.” (Joseph Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2014)“Dr. Mathis has provided both neophytic and experienced practitioners with a comprehensive book that details the gamut of current procedures and techniques. … book is simply organized, with a logical progression of its chapters from fundamental anatomy and patient evaluation to detailed discussions of individual procedures. The diagrams are excellent and the images complement the procedural discussions. … provides both novice and experienced spine interventionalists with a superb reference. Readers will benefit from the wealth of technical information provided by Dr. Mathis and his coauthors.” (Maurice F. Finnegan Jr., Radiology, Vol. 259 (1), April, 2011)

ULTIMATE X-MEN BY PEACH MOMOKO VOL. 1: FEARS AND HATES

From the reviews:

"This book was clearly a labor of love; Murdin has brought his passion for astronomy and its history to a topic which on the surface appears quite apart from this activity. … The publisher has supported Murdin’s effort with a physically appealing, aesthetic work, on high quality paper, complete with lovely diagrams and photographs. … I recommend it for the general reader. … For the motivated reader, the effort will be well rewarded with a picaresque journey through a relatively unknown section of scientific history." (Library Thing, May, 2009)
"The immediate impression of the book is quality … . Murdin starts the journey with a very brief introduction to the relationship between mapping latitude and longitude and the movement of astronomical bodies such as Jupiter. … Throughout the entire book, Murdin skillfully balances the technical details mapping techniques and instruments … . Overall, this book is a handsome, quality, very readable volume that deserves a prominent position in any history of science and engineering." (Library Thing, April, 2009)
"British astronomer Murdin … carefully examines the history of the Paris meridian in a work designed to highlight the adventures connected with the performance of what many might see as rather tedious research. … In a report that stretches over centuries, Murdin is careful to define terms, introduce the important characters, and include many nice illustrations. … Summing Up: Recommended. General readers." (M.-K. Hemenway, Choice, Vol. 46 (10), June, 2009)
“This modestly priced volume takes us on three journeys. The first is across the globe … to discover the true figure of the Earth, and all this amid the turmoil surrounding the French Revolution. … The second journey is through time, in which the role of the meridian is discussed … . And finally, we are taken on a journey across Paris, along the meridian … provided that the book can act as a guide for those wishing to follow the trail for themselves.” (David Stickland, The Observatory, Vol. 129 (1213), December, 2009)

'Rarely is academic writing so insightful, useful and amusing at once.'
Gianpiero Petriglieri, INSEAD, France
'This insightful work is a valuable contribution to the study of leadership. It is a must for university business collections, and merits inclusion as collateral reading in academic and professional leadership-related courses of study.'
J. B. Kashner, CHOICE
'A sophisticated and critical analysis of 'leadership' metaphors that pushes the boundaries well beyond the conventional. There are lots of books on leadership but there aren't many books like this - read it!'
Keith Grint, Professor of Public Leadership & Management,Warwick Business School, UK
'This highly engaging book compellingly shows what a critically-oriented approach can do to not only invigorate the field of leadership studies but also to constructively assist leaders (and followers) make sense of and act authentically in a world in which is leadership is over-hyped yet widely misunderstood.'

"In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, reform of the international financial architecture is a high priority. Anthony Elson provides a detailed evaluation of global financial institutions from both contemporary and historical perspectives and lays out a compelling vision of how these institutions need to be reformed to promote global financial stability." - Eswar Prasad, Tolani Senior Professor of Trade Policy, Dyson School, Cornell University and Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution

"This remarkably accessible book provides a clear, intellectually vigorous, and multidisciplinarysynthesis of global financial history, and identifies the key principles on which to rebuild a sustainable international financial system." - Francis Lethem, Director, Duke Center for International Development

"There are many challenges in shaping a collective governance framework for the global financial system centered in the policy-making authority of nation states. Anthony Elson provides a wonderfully accessible treatment of the complex issues involved and skillfully maps the contours of a debate on the way forward. This is highly-recommended reading for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in global governance." - Domenico Lombardi, President, The Oxford Institute for Economic Policy

"Anthony Elson takes us through the evolution of the 'global financial order' in the post-war period, underscores its strengths and weaknesses, and offers a framework for reform in the future. He injects a healthy dose of practical insight that only an IMF-veteran like himself could do. An excellent read for both experts and neophytes." - Michael G. Plummer, Head, Development Division, OECD

"Elson offers a clear historical exposition of the evolution of the modern international financial system and its regulatory architecture. While underlining the importance of global financial markets, he highlights the strengths and weaknesses of their governance structure and suggests possible paths for its improvement." - Gordon M. Bodnar, Professor, Johns Hopkins University

"Drawing on his experience as a senior adviser at the International Monetary Fund, Elson describes and assesses the international financial architecture - not simply the relations among national monetary authorities but also the whole set of official and quasi-official bodies and conventions charged with overseeing cross-border financial transactions. The book recounts past international financial crises, including the most recent one, and tracks the evolution of thinking about how to respond to them, especially since the debt crisis of the 1980s. The 2008 financial crisis, Elson argues, revealed the international financial system's woeful inability to anticipate breakdowns and minimize their damage. He makes a host of recommendations, some controversial, including imposing a tax on the nondeposit liabilities of systemically important financial institutions, to discourage them from excessively risky leveraging." - Richard N. Cooper, Foreign Affairs

"This welcome book provides a thoughtful retrospective, beginning with the history of the early 1980s and late 1990s, and the ways that the system has influenced as a result - perhaps coincidentally keeping many emerging market countries out of the latest global conflagration." - Professor Ingo Walter, Stern School of Business, CHOICE

"One of the few positive consequences of the global financial crisis that began in 2007 has been an upsurge in interest in the broad problem of financial governance at the global level. Anthony Elson brings to the debate a careful and thoughtful consideration of its many interrelated dimensions. The result is a synoptic book that successfully outlines the intricate web of technical issues related to global financial governance." - Governance

"Although it has been a long time in coming, the wait has certainly proved worthwhile. Krueger has provided an excellent translation of Katz's prose, as well as a valuable update of this earlier material in the light of subsequent work in the field....This is a useful evocative book with rich data and ideas on topics of universal interest which are usually glossed over with an opaque covering of metaphysics. Evidently science can illuminate art."&#8212;Perception"The appearance of this magnificent translation and commentary... provides many with the opportunity to share Katz's insightful review and analysis of myriad touch-related issues."&#8212;CHOICE"The English-speaking world is indebted to Lester Krueger for this...Krueger has outdone himself in providing a translation that has Katz speaking to us directly. In addition, he does an admirable job of relating this historic work with current research and understanding....The main value of the book is its wealth of rich observations that remind us what touch is all about. Thus, anyone with an interest in developing some acquaintance with the sense of touch will benefit immensely from this book. Likewise, any researcher looking for a fresh view and new directions in research will find a gold mine of possibilities."&#8212;American Journal of Psychology
