From the reviews:"If you train behavior change scientists or clinical practitioners this book has ideas you can use. Educational technology can be especially valuable for teaching in the complex intersection of psychology and health and this slim volume offers many heuristic examples.  Several chapters impressed me. Miguel Sabido's method which "applies behavioral change theory through creative mass media outlets" and results in "entertainment with proven social benefit" (p. 7). Literally hundreds of television programs around the world have benefitted millions with better health.  Gregerson's lists (pp. 10-13) of books on the issues and uses of cinema in medical humanities, self and graduate education, and especially psychology is an invaluable.  Wallin offers many hints to make our internet searching more productive. By including the terms and formats she offers the searcher becomes the finder: time saving, homing in, and best, finding the highest quality resources. The ways to evaluate the quality of a website (do not use is visual appeal) are especially valuable in our state of information overload. She also explains how to use specialized tools to organize what we find. Two fine chapters address first, telemedicine competencies helpfully separating technology competencies from clinical competencies and from outreach competencies, and then conceptualizing the educators' roles in maximizing patient's self care, incorporating best practices, and then evaluating the outcomes. The volume is capped with a chapter on ethical issues in media psychology with a dozen short examples of the kinds of errors and omissions we might make in dealing with the media. All in all, a fine set of chapters introducing important topics and offering valuable resources." (Ed Zuckerman, Ph.D., June 2011)“Gregerson … provides seven articles, a foreword, and a preface that cover examples of the role of technology in education, health, and mental health. … presents many visual examples from websites of how consumers should evaluate the quality of mental health and psychology sites. … explains how to use Google and other search engines, how to filter by domain, and how to use sidebars, ‘wedgewords,’ ‘feeds,’ and Google Scholar. … is invaluable for undergraduate professors to inform students … on research uses of the Internet.” (Dolores McCarthy, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 56 (43), October, 2011)

"Finally a text which integrates in an easily understandable and logical fashion the coupled nature of the equations of change with respect to multicomponent mass transfer and its constitutive equations."—William H. Velander, University of Nebraska, Lincoln"The book begins with a description of conservation laws, boundary conditions and constitutive equations…presents a mathematical treatment not covered in other similar books. This is a modern approach to transport phenomena. The unique feature of the book is the treatment of several topics, such as sorption, chromatography, and viscoelastic diffusion."—Darsh T. Wasan, Dimitri Gidaspow, Illinois Institute of Technology

'Television Style cuts through the cultural and academic haze that still clouds television, providing scholars and students with an incisive, comprehensive, and much-needed study detailing the intricacies and nuances of television as an artform.' — John T. Caldwell, UCLA, author of Production Culture: Industrial Reflexivity and Critical Practice in Film and Television (2008)

'Once upon a time in Hollywood, creative people treated TV like the annoying little brother who always wanted to play with the big kids. If you were a TV director, good luck making the leap into the more respectable medium. And, if you were a film director, why on earth would you deign to work for that tiny screen? Well, things have changed, to say the least. The old biases no longer apply, particularly when it comes to style, and Jeremy G. Butler has provided an account of a medium that has never been as dynamic as it is today. In the past decade, television style has evolved at a dizzying rate, and Butler charts the changes with a clear-eyed energy appropriate for a medium that, many agree, has left its elder sibling in the dust.' — Ken Kwapis, Film and Television Director, The Office, 'The Larry Sanders Show', and 'He’s Just Not That Into You'

'Television has grown more stylish in the last decade, and Butler’s book explain how and why this has happened. This book places film theory and criticism in dialogue with masterful research on television production to illuminate these important changes. The rise of single-camera television and the role of the TV director are finally given the credit they are due for making TV today as exciting as cinema ever was.'— Ellen Seiter, USC
‘A book as essential to television studies as Bordwell and Thompson’s Film Art is to film studies.’ Liz Robert, The Media Education Journal

"Mathewson's Law and Ethics for Today's Journalist is long overdue--featuring concise, practical coverage of media law and ethics that journalism instructors have been searching for. No longer will I have to adapt texts created mainly for law students to suit a class of journalists in training. The landmark First Amendment cases are here, as are the big ideas and ethical dilemmas reporters are bound to face on the ground. The research is thorough, the writing is clear, and students will learn plenty." -- Dick Lehr, Boston University
"Law and Ethics for Today's Journalist covers the essential areas of journalism law including libel, privacy, and access while retaining a sense of broader media law context. With universities moving toward merged law and ethics courses, Mathewson effectively tackles the challenge of creating a text that adequately serves both areas by paring down and sharpening the content to the most relevant information." -- Jason A. Martin, DePaul University
"Mathewson's book is well-written and concise, making its discussions of important journalism cases accessible to the average journalism student. Its focus on practical legal and ethical advice for the working journalist also makes it an excellent choice for any professor teaching a combined ethics and law class to journalism students." -- Derigan Silver, University of Denver
"Mathewson provides an excellent summary of legal issues that can affect working journalists ... Written from a working journalist's perspective, the book offers a pragmatic approach to the legal conundrums reporters and editors might face while pursuing stories. Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates, professionals, general readers." -- Choice

"… this book is a good reference book to have on the shelf to refresh your memory about some aspects of vibrations or to ﬁnd a reference to deepen your understanding. It is also a good book for people – like physicists or electrical engineers – who have a technical background but not in this area of mechanical engineering."—Noise Control Engineering Journal
"The book is very well written and could be considered as quite different from earlier books on the topic, and can be recommended for graduate research level students as well as practicing engineers."—Journal of Structural Engineering"An excellent addition to the literature. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals."—Choice"This reviewer recommends this book strongly for use in universities libraries and laboratories involved in vibration measurements."—Applied Mechanics Reviews"The book is well written and structured, and is a good reference book"—The Structural Engineer"This book provides students, researchers and engineers with a concise and comprehensive introduction to mechanical and structural vibrations. It gives methods for solving problems in this field of area but opens doors to experimental vibration analysis and random vibrations. …This book provides a background in techniques and methods and sounds guidelines and understanding of theoretical concepts in vibration analysis."—Christian Cremona, Sétra/CTOA, France

"This updated edition is a must-have item for any serious student of democratic politics. It contains several encyclopedic bodies of information, including an extensive bibliography of U.S. books, journals, and symposia. Sidney Kraus has been our most assiduous student of America's signal contribution to political theater, and it is a service to the field that he continues to update his reports on what he has learned."&#8212;International Journal of Public Opinion Research"This book is an important contribution to the growing literature on political debates...[It] is distinctive from others...in that it provides a historical perspective that is based on media influence as well as a thorough analysis of public policy implications from the perspectives of the public policy that is debated as well as the public policy that surrounds funding, sponsorship, broadcast, and participation in debates...Kraus' personal involvement as [a participant] observer and researcher going back to the 1960 debates adds a perspective and content that other authors simply cannot equal. His access to people at the heart of debate productions provides resource material that is unique to this book."&#8212;Diana B.

"This comprehensive, 33-chapter compendium of essays is bursting with theoretical insights and analysis, all underpinned by a clear understanding of the practicalities of magazine-making. Synthesizing research in a diverse range of areas including design, literary journalism, editorial practices, religious magazines, globalization, and curricular perspectives, Abrahamson and Prior-Miller's volume is likely to be regarded as the seminal text on the subject for many years to come." —Richard Lance Keeble, University of Lincoln, UK

"Focusing on the vibrant and continually evolving magazine form, this anthology brings together 38 top scholars and educators to document the major themes and theoretical perspectives occurring in magazine research in the last 20 years. Their comprehensive approach provides a new benchmark in the study of magazines." —Sammye Johnson, Trinity University
"If you are looking for an idea or an angle for research, begin here, and you will discover what topics have and have not been researched in the magazine literature. You will discover the major authors in the field. This 650-page volume will become an indispensable “bible” and starting point for any kind of magazine research." -David E. Sumner, Journal of Magazine and New Media Research
"Magazines have contributed much to the development of literary journalism. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that magazine professors would champion the genre in a handbook of magazine research. With that in mind, it is only fitting that Abrahamson and Prior-Miller’s thorough and meticulously researched volume should find its way onto the bookshelves of professors, practitioners, and students at the undergraduate and graduate interested in the field of magazine journalism." –Amber Roessner, Literary Journalism Studies, Vol. 8, No. 1
"The main interest of The Routledge Handbook of Magazine Research lies in the fact that it offers a very complete bibliography of recent publications in American magazine scholarship. This handbook will prove to be an invaluable resource for anyone involved in periodical studies." –Maaike Koffeman, Journal of European Periodical Studies

&#8220;The power struggles that have surrounded Viacom and CBS are like the background noise of the business news pages -- seemingly always there, yet somehow not rising to attention unless you&#8217;re closely listening for it. Yet it is an epic story that takes a book to examine, one filled with legal conflicts, boardroom battles, angry ex-girlfriends, family drama and a 95-year-old media mogul whose health, Hagey wrote in April in the Wall Street Journal, where she is a reporter, &#8220;has declined so significantly he cannot speak much beyond grunts.&#8221; It also promises more than just the tabloid soap opera business story, but a look at how much media consumption and its industry is changing.&#8221;
