Gentle black-and-white illustrations complement the story, adding another emotional level." --Kirkus Reviews

From the reviews:“Hermann Simon’s detailed study of Hidden Champions is phenomenal in its depth and rich coverage.

" Fleeing the City is a worthwhile project that fills the gap in the existing literature on urbanism. As Thompson points out, there is a lacuna in the extensive scholarship on urbanism. Although there have been numerous critical histories of the suburbs, studies of the city tend to approach the topic from a broadly sympathetic perspective and focus on the legal, architectural, economic, or social factors that have undermined its potential. A new systematic, book-length study of antiurbanism is long overdue and makes a real contribution to our understanding of cities." - Margaret Kohn, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto

'Overall...this book is highly recommended for readers interested in questions of political discourse or language, particularly given its methodological contribution to a field dominated by issues and texts of abstract theorisation.'- Lee Jarvis, Political Studies Review

From the reviews:

"This book describes a static analysis that aims to prove the absence of buffer overflows in C programs. … The book formally describes how program operations are mapped to operations on polyhedra. … Many concepts presented here carry over to other languages such as Java or assembler. So it will be useful to any researcher and student with an interest in static analysis of real-world programming languages." (Stefan Meyer, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1155, 2009)

...this book has been written primarily for two groups of readers: the genetic counsellor (both medical and nonmedical) and the cytogenetic laboratory scientist. There are substantial sections of the book, however, which are of relevance to paediatricians...The authors are to be congratulated, not only because their book is one of the best of its kind, written in a clear and balanced manner and practically oriented!
