“This book is … a major contribution to Australian public criminology, and the specific issue of the over-incarceration of Aboriginal people across Australia. … As Australia addresses both the overall increases in incarceration, and the specific hyperincarceration of Aboriginal people, this book provides essential reading … for academics, and government and non-government agencies hoping to make a difference.” (Bronwyn Naylor, Alternative Law Journal, Vol. 42 (1), 2017)“The book brings together in one place the most detailed and insightful assessment of justice reinvestment that I have read. Its observations about the origination of the idea, its spread in the United States (‘US’) and elsewhere, and the challenges it now poses for penal reformers in my home country, the US, especially are, in my view, spot on. Congratulations to the authors; congratulations and thanks.” (Todd Clear, Current Issues in Criminal Justice, Vol. 28 (1), 2016)“The authors are to be congratulated for Justice Reinvestment: Winding Back Imprisonment, a book that is well researched and engaging, which stimulates thinking and provokes questions, and is an outstanding work of scholarship.” (Luke McNamara, Current Issues In Criminal Justice, Vol. 28 (1), 2016)

"This is an excellent book, [...] the first (to my knowledge) to deal with the Dynamics of the Lithosphere from the point of view of Dynamical Systems. [...] The book is well written and clearly organized. Every chapter is self-contained and addressed to graduate students and researchers in general." (Antoni M. Correig Blanchar, Newsletter of the European Geophysical Society, Oct. 15. 2003)

Nonlinear Dynamics of the Lithosphere and Earthquake Prediction

From the reviews:"This is a scholarly tour de force through the world of morphological image analysis, and, as its title indicates, it covers both the basic theory and the applications of the subject… All these concepts are well covered in this volume, with copious, very clear illustrations showing a myriad of images containing objects, textures and structures in both unprocessed and processed forms. Amongst the illustrations are also many useful diagrams, histograms, mappings and other mental aids. The subject is intricate and no stones are left unturned in explaining carefully what is meant, and relating the work to everyday experience. The author is clearly master of both the subject and its teaching … I recommend this book unreservedly as the best one I have encountered on this particular topic…" BMVA NewsFrom the reviews of the second edition:"Faced with the success of his book, the author felt the need to revise and expand it. … There are more algorithms and more applications, several of them coming from the author’s own work. Many added illustrations improve the understanding of morphological theory, and the bibliography at the end of each chapter has become impressive. … As its first edition, this book should appeal … to practitioners of image processing, who will find in it a wealth of efficient methods for various problems." (Christian Ronse, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2004 c)"This book puts the emphasis firmly on solving real world practical problems which arise in many image processing applications. … It will be of most benefit to engineers and image processing specialists … . Each chapter has several examples and there are a number of case studies. … It is self-contained and aims to go well beyond an introduction … . This is the second edition and there are a number of significant additions, which reflect the developments in the field … ." (Stephen Marshall, IEE Proceedings Vision, Image & Signal Processing, September, 2003)“A very readable book for newcomers, written in an accessible style. … The present work is … much more than an introduction to the subject and it is very useful to have essays on so many branches of the subject united in a single volume. … This in no way detracts from the value of the book for readers already familiar with the basic structure of mathematical morphology, to whom it is highly recommended.” (Ultramicroscopy, Vol. 116, 2012)

"A highly important work that illustrates the relevance of Fanon's philosophy of liberation to the socio-economic and political developments in South Africa" - African Studies Quarterly

"Gibson's book is another serious piece of work on the state of post-apartheid South African society, which critics of the negotiated settlement that ended apartheid insist remains in the economic inequality that characterised the apartheid era." - Commonwealth and Comparative Politics

"This is a refreshing and imaginative reading of Frantz Fanon's groundbreaking thoughts regarding the theory and practice of revolutionary transformation. Nigel Gibson has found an exciting voice to re-energise the transformation discourse in post-apartheid South Africa." - City Press

"This book is of great value ... Gibson has also shown how a critique of independence at another time and place in Africa can aid our understanding of the current predicament." - New Agenda

"Gibson provides an analytical paradigm and a convincing argument that Fanon remains current and compatible with contemporary realities. Recommended." - CHOICE

"The book contains much of considerable theoretical value from one of the world's foremost Fanon scholars." - Psychology in Society

From the reviews"... I can highly recommend this book to all those who (start to) work in Latin America's coastal environments be it for basic, applied, or conservation research. They will find it a good introduction and overview. It should be present in all university libraries, not only those in Latin America." (Aquatic Ecology)

From the reviews:

"This book … provides a welcome personalized overview of the current ideas on the origin of Ni-Cu sulfide deposits … . Very importantly, the book shows clearly how the study of ore-forming processes helps in mineral exploration. … I would advise all my graduate students to tackle this remarkable piece of work. Overall, Magmatic sulfide deposits … is strongly recommended to professional economic geologists and any scientifically literate person who wants an introduction to the subject." (Mei-Fu Zhou, Economic Geology, 2005)
"It clearly represents a comprehensive summary of the life’s work of an acknowledged expert in the field of magmatic sulphide deposits through out the world. … This is a comprehensive and detailed treatise, clearly written and well illustrated with a large number of maps and diagrams. … The excellent writing style will make this book accessible to all, from students looking for specific references to those who seek a comprehensive knowledge … . Researchers and industrial professionals will find this volume indispensable … ." (Dr. Stephen Cribb, Materials World, June, 2006)
"Magmatic Sulphide Deposits provides an updated summary of the state of understanding of the most important Ni sulfide deposits. This book is an enormously expanded and updated version of his original textbook on the subject … . provides a wealth of information to the reader in a form that is readily understood by one who is new to the subject."
