"This is the most comprehensive book on sensor systems that I have come across. It has several impressive features. For example: -Physics, analytical modeling, design features and application of a wide range of important sensors are covered;
-Application of individual sensors and multiple or networked sensors is treated along with the needed procedures, hardware and software;
-Such advanced practical topics as wireless sensor networks, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensors, multi-sensor data fusion is presented;
-Numerous illustrative examples, design examples, laboratory experiments, practical applications, and realistic case studies are provided; 
-The presentation is student friendly while presenting both basic and advanced topics;
-The book can serve as both a textbook for a course in sensors, mechatronics or instrumentation, and a reference tool for practitioners."—Ben M. Chen, National University of Singapore 
"Sensor Systems: Fundamentals and Applications is the most comprehensive reference for sensors in engineering systems. It covers all the required fields for undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as a comprehensive reference for research and engineering applications. It is therefore a necessary reference for all engineers and students. In today’s engineering systems, use of sensors is inevitable. Particularly, in mechanical, biomedical, structural, electrical and aerospace engineering disciplines. Sensors are the fundamental component of any mechatronic system. In today’s critical engineering areas such as unmanned systems, robotics, biomedical engineering, environmental science, and energy, the role of sensor systems is considered as the most important topic in the center of design and understanding of such systems. This unique comprehensive book allows engineers, students, and researchers to better understand the sensor systems and technologies for a very wide range of applications and multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary fields."— Farbod Khoshnoud, California State University, Fresno, USA
"The text focuses on systems of sensors, as opposed to individual sensors, which fits into the larger context of mechatronic system design and provides a valuable addition to texts on control theory and the implementation of designed controllers. The inclusion of MATLAB is appreciated, both for student proficiency in sensor systems and practice in using current computational tools. Finally, the mix of both conceptual and computational practice problems encourages students to both think critically about the problem as well as be capable of designing a sensor system."— James A. Mynderse, Lawrence Technological University, Michigan, USA

‘This engaging book uses in-depth interviews held with victims of severe crimes to assess how they cope with what happened to them and how justice can be restored for these people. The book points out the importance of perceived procedural justice and notes that when victims are given a voice and receive respectful treatment this suggests a good way of responding to the needs of the victims involved and substantially increases chances of restorative justice.’ - Kees van den Bos, Ph.D., Professor of Social Psychology and Professor of Empirical Legal Science, Utrecht University, The Netherlands

‘Drawing on an empirical study of victims of violence in Canada and Belgium, Van Camp has produced a rigorous and enlightening account of how such victims view restorative interventions. Lucidly written and persuasively argued, this book is a timely contribution to the literature and a "must-read" for criminologists and practitioners of restorative justice.’ - Professor Jonathan Doak, Law School, Durham University, UK

‘Another book on restorative justice…? Yes, but this one is different. Its added value – its real value – is its radical victim perspective. Social justice theory, perfectly embedded in solid empirical findings based on the experiences of victims of the most serious crimes: violence, sexual aggression, and homicide. Van Camp's analysis provides ultimate proof that restorative justice is, above all, a victim-oriented approach and one that must attain the status of a routine option in all criminal cases where victims (individual or collective) are involved. This book can inspire profound victim policy change.’ - Michael Kilchling, Senior researcher, Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law, Germany
'This comprehensive and thoughtful book finds a voice for victims of violence through bringing a procedural justice lens to restorative justice. Contextualized in a Canadian and Belgium legal framework, yet internationally relevant, this compelling research is rich with stories of victim’s resilience that ground solid findings and policy recommendations. This book will be a sought after guide for facilitators who support victims in the aftermath of violence. The research shows that one size does not fit all; rather, victims need to be in the driver’s seat of a flexible and caring process that empowers and liberates. In other words, process is product. Reflective practitioners will appreciate the wisdom within this book.' - Brenda Morrison, Associate Professor and Director, Centre for Restorative Justice,Simon Fraser University, Canada

"A fun twist on a tale from Japanese oral storytelling tradition, great for reading aloud."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews"Katakawa makes great use of perspective and movement, encouraging page turns and effectively drawing the eye. . . . the arresting visuals and nicely cadenced text make this an excellent candidate for storytimes." &mdash;School Library Journal "Based on a story called 'Manju Kowai' or 'Scared of Buns,' from the Japanese oral storytelling tradition of rakugo, Katakawa&rsquo;s picture-book version is entertainingly presented. The forest-set mixed-media illustrations reward close inspection with clever details (e.g., the snake&rsquo;s teacup is perched on her head&mdash;and she wears glasses). Bear is large but deft in his movements; readers will likely appreciate his cunning in earning a tasty treat but will also see the potential for friendship, as the smiling animals all appear to be having fun."&mdash;The Horn Book  "This lighthearted tale is a twist on a classic story from the Japanese oral tradition of rakugo, making for a delightful read-aloud. Mixed-media illustrations add energy to the excitement, and the delectable subject may have children demanding a manju cake before the end."&mdash;Booklist "readers should be tickled by Bear&rsquo;s willingness to play the fool for the sake of a yummy treat."&mdash;Publishers Weekly

"[The authors present] new methods for the computation of secondary radiation of complicated aerial- and ground-based objects, taking into account many complex factors not considered in earlier works. This is extremely important when estimating practical potentials of numerous radiolocation systems. … A great deal of reference material is given on the scattering characteristics of many important objects. [This material] will be of essential help to developers of new radars."—Yakov S. Shifrin, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, Ukraine

'Current political philosophy is inundated with works on distributive justice. What it has signally lacked - and what this book masterfully supplies - is a probing analytical comparison, by an economic theorist, of the major accounts dominating that literature. Michael Allingham, a distinguished expert on Walrasian general equilibrium theory and rational choice, brings that perspective systematically to bear on those accounts, meticulously isolating their respective strengths and weaknesses. A tour de force.' — Hillel Steiner, Emeritus Professor of Political Philosophy and Honorary Research Fellow, University of Manchester, UK

"Certainly, this is a lively volume. At times insightful, at times confusing and obscure, often experimental, at times still in a process of becoming, it seems to mirror the world that it begins to open up. Linking all the contributions, however, are the editors’ and contributors’ shared concerns about security, privacy, agency, and freedom, and we should take them seriously: the book is a fitting manifesto for a sociology of the unseen agents that increasingly shape our ‘algorithmic life’." - Philip Roscoe, University of St Andrews, UK

"Throughout his book, Shorter demonstrates his extensive knowledge of the subject; he is often quick to address questions and skepticisms that a critical reader may raise. The book is cleverly constructed; Shorter tends toguide the reader to the seminal themes and conclusions of the book rather than overtly stating them initially. In summation, this book is a good read. Although the polemical nature of What Psychiatry Left Out of the DSM-5 may tempt one to play devil's adovcate in response to the logic, Shorter facilitates a serious consideration of American psychiatry's current nosological system, and he provides an excellent history lesson as well." -Harry Whitaker, Emily DePetro, & Cecilia Brown, PsycCRITIQUES, 2015
"Edward Shorter is one of the greatest historians of health care alive today, and maybe the most gifted writer on the topic. In this seminal book Shorter manages not only to bridge the gap between scholar and clinician, but also make a convincing case that psychiatrists have a lot to learn from the history of their own field." -- Ian Dowbiggin, PhD, FRSC, History Department, UPEI

"Every scientific field grinds to a halt from time to time and psychiatry is currently stuck in a cul-de-sac. This is when forgotten or inconvenient observations from the past can provide the best way forward. In What Psychiatry Left Out of the DSM-5, Edward Shorter gives us a series of cornerstones that will have to be included in any new building if it is to stand. This book offers food for thought and is a great read" -- David Healy, Professor of Psychiatry, Bangor University; Author, Pharmageddon.

"Arguing that recent DSM "knowledge destruction engine" classification systems have been catastrophic for psychiatry, Edward Shorter’s polemic is written with a brio-fired challenge. If psychiatry has lost the plot in classifying psychiatric diseases, why not have a model provided by a historian? His ‘remembrance and respect of things past’ model builds on the wisdom of the consensual experiences clinicians accumulated over the centuries. Here, Shorter demonstrates his masterful and profound capacity to intertwine charting the history of psychiatric classification and to critically appraise it. This is a book to be read by all who wish to understand psychiatry’s historical territory and consider a stimulating and provocative alternate road map."-- Gordon Parker, PhD, Scientia Professor of Psychiatry, University of NSW, Australia. 

"This new book from Dr. Shorter is an engaging romp through the history of psychiatric labeling over 4 centuries. Shorter once again proves he is an accomplished master of the European traditions that migrated to the USA, where they metamorphosed to, well, something else. He has deeply researched the origins of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, now in its Fifth Edition (DSM-5). The accounts of horse trading in the DSM committees are at times hilarious. One is reminded of the saying that a camel is a horse designed by a committee! Throughout, there is a principled emphasis on clinical science rather than consensus, a respect for the wisdom of the past, and a grasp of all the threads that should contribute to a scientific classification of mental maladies – from clinical description to pathophysiology. The style is provocative, even cheeky in places, and this book is certain to spark useful dialogues for years to come." -- Bernard J. Carroll, MBBS, PhD, FRC Psych, FRANZCP, Professor and Chairman Emeritus, Department of Psychiatry, Duke University Medical Center Durham

"Edward Shorter is the most knowledgeable, prolific, and venturesome historian of psychiatry writing in the English language today. What Psychiatry Left Out of the DSM-5 is a bold example of what he does best, namely, bring an immense reservoir of historical knowledge, acquired from a lifetime of reading in several languages, to bear on our understanding of the present-day mental health world. Western psychiatrists and psychologists--including architects of the vaunted DSM--ignore psychiatry’s deep, remarkable past at their own peril, Shorter shows convincingly. This is a brilliant and timely polemic." -- Mark S. Micale, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

"If I were asked to highlight one of the most important trends in water research and practice to emerge over the last 25 years, it would be a realisation and increasing understanding of the role water plays in people’s lives and how they use this. The water industry has arguably been so successful in delivering clean water and in removing dirty and drainage water, that neither providers nor users have hardly anything left to say to each other unless the system malfunctions. Dr Liz Sharp has masterfully written a text that should be essential reading for water engineers, environmental scientists and applied social scientists with an interest in sustainable water management. She expertly weaves together insights from the scientific literature, personal research, case studies and informed comment to make a compelling case for the need to reconnect people with water and the means to start doing it." Professor David Butler, FREng, Centre for Water Systems, University of Exeter, UK
"The book’s call for greater emphasis in research and practice on a hydro-social perspective will reinvigorate debate about the balance between technical and non-technical interventions in urban water management." Paul Jeffrey, Professor of Water Management, Cranfield University, UK
"This most timely book’s importance is not that it brings together the concerns of scientific and technical water managers, publics, and social scientists, though it does this admirably. Even more significantly, it weaves disparate strands of social research on water into a coherent framework, with a lucid vision of how this growing body of social science expertise can make direct and practical contributions to water planning and management, especially for water sustainability and resilience."

"Challenging notions about artists and artistic practices on the borders of culture, this book engages in broad and inclusive understandings of art. These inclusive views of art and education are needed to engender a truly participatory and democratic society." - Flavia Bastos, associate professor and Interim Director, School of Art, College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, University of Cincinnati

"During my 30 years of discovering, exhibiting the work of 'outsider' artists, as well as co-authoring several books on this amorphous and indefinable world of wonder, I have had the enormous privilege to witness creativity explode from the spirits of so many who might have otherwise been dismissed by a society that so denies and avoids the different. The struggle to understand and deeply appreciate these variations in the realms of the brain, mind, and creative wellsprings of these outsiders is elegantly and personally addressed in Wexler's immensely important compilation of inquiry and experience from some of the brightest thinkers and students of the field." - Roger Ricco, artist

'Martin Hemmert’s The Evolution of Tiger Management represents a major step in furthering our understanding of business practices and management strategies in one of the global economy’s true superpowers. The book is well researched, authoritative, impartial, and interesting to read. It provides an in-depth look into how Korea’s major firms—and many of its new start-ups—compete and win. This is a must-read for anyone interested in studying international business.' — Richard M. Steers, Emeritus Professor of Organization and Management, University of Oregon, USA
'This new version of the original excellent book is to be welcomed and the author congratulated as several new contributions to the field of the study of Korean management with relevance to the wider global economy are made. These contributions are both in terms of the place in the international environment and global practice of Korean-style management, as well as specific areas within it, such as Korean human resource management.

The book traces the emergence, development and use of what is calls ‘Tiger Management’ with its key features of ambition, aggressiveness, resilience, strong leadership, speed and flexibility. The book also not only updates the original content, but usefully expands it from the more traditional focus on manufacturing to cover some less covered and newer sectors, such as venture firms and start ups.

This new book will help put Korean management more on the world stage, both as an interesting model in its own right and one that is not only sustainable, but also perhaps one with possible elements to be used by managers elsewhere. As such, this book and its examples will help provide a useful counter-foil to the more traditional narrow minded and ethnocentric views of the need for Asia more generally to change to use global best practices from the West.' — Professor Chris Rowley, Kellogg College, University of Oxford

'This book thoroughly examines the dynamics of Korean business practices and structures of Korean chaebuls with recent developments of Korean economic system. It discusses a wide range of issues incorporating historical, socio cultural, institutional, as well as economic characteristics of Korea. It also provides numerous success and failure cases of Korean business strategies and management. This book is recommended not only for academic researchers and instructors but also for practitioners and government officials who are interested in Korean business and economy.' — Mannsoo Shin, Professor, Korea University Business School 

'Within a short time period, Korean companies such as Samsung and Hyundai have become world-leading companies. This book is an extremely useful resource for managers and researchers to better understand how Korean companies have been able to achieve this remarkable feature. The chapters of this book provide a number of important insights about the internationalization, business strategies, leadership, and human resource management that contribute to the success of Korean companies.' — Fabian Jintae Froese, Chair Professor of Human Resource Management and Asian Business, University of Goettingen
