"… a valuable compendium of information… should serve as an impetus driving greater awareness of remote sensing technologies and their adoption in ecosystem service assessments."—African Journal of Range & Forage Science 2015, 32(1)
"Monitoring and mapping ecosystem services is critical to their effective management. This book covers the latest remote sensing techniques for doing that. A must read for anyone concerned with ecosystem services."—Robert Costanza, The Australian National University
"… a broad and valuable introduction to the use of remotely sensed data sets in assessing and monitoring key ecosystem services. … relevant to students and researchers interested in using earth observations in advancing their methods of inquiry. The subject matter is impressive, ranging from the carbon cycle to urban heat island effects. As humankind brings increasingly greater pressure to bear on natural systems, an improved understanding of their function in the context of change is critical. … an important contribution in explaining the utility of remotely sensed data in meeting this challenge."—Matthew C. Hansen, University of Maryland

"… synthesizes the state of the art of how remote sensing can contribute to get the pulse of the planet, specifically on how our ecosystems are changing and what key benefits they provide to societies. … Timely, systematic, reliable, and easily accessible information on the flow of services to society from ecosystems is urgently needed: this book contributes one great leap forward. A massive effort from all nations will be needed to achieve full implementation of the suggested approach."—Patricia Balvanera, Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

"… offers a great overview of how earth observation systems are being used, can be used in the near future and what the caveats and pitfalls are at present. … It is one of the objectives of GEO BON to provide this overview and develop capacity building programmes for the whole community. This book is a good step into that direction."—Rob H.G. Jongman, Alterra, Wageningen UR, Steering Committee GEO BON

"This volume is a step toward increasing exchanges between fuzzy researchers and the biomedicine…The last chapter, split into two parts, provides a useful summary of hardware requirements for biomedical usage, including issues of reliability, cost, and biocompatibility…[Chapters 3 to 5] will be of interest to the biomedical engineer…or graduate students as a supplement to a text."- IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, May/June 1999

"As you probably know, Robert Wrona has been the primary driving force behind spreading the Training Within Industry (TWI) concepts in North America and around the globe for the past couple of decades, in conjunction with the TWI Institute. In Patrick Graupp you have, without a doubt, the finest TWI master instructor in the English language around the world. The first edition of their workbook was of tremendous value, and the latest version is even better. ... Spend time carefully thinking about the first principles and fundamental elements in this material, like Taiichi Ohno and others inside of Toyota did more than 60 years ago. The fundamentals have provided value to American companies before and after World War II. The concepts have provided decades of value to Toyota and other companies around the world as well. I am certain if you study the content and apply it diligently and patiently, you will find success as well."—From the Foreword by Art Smalley, President, Art of Lean, Inc.

This text features specialized knowledge that will allow industrial electronics engineers to develop practical design solutions and implement high-power applications. … the book contains a great deal of information on a wide range of areas in power electronics … . Electrical engineers, especially power electronics engineers, interested in learning the technical details about motor drives will benefit from this book. It also contains up-to-date practical information for those wanting to learn about the most active areas using power electronics today.—IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, March/April 2012

"This book has the great merit of having kept at arm’s length moral indignation and the easy application to the real world of the Weberian principle of the civil servant. Professor Merloni’s book provides a landscape of the practical instruments that are utilized bynational and international institutions to prevent – and therefore to contain– corruptionin the public domain. In Chapter 1, the book identifies seven dimensions for the comparison of national anti-corruption organizations which will turn out useful for future studies. 
In Chapter 9, the book puts forth the stimulating and fertile proposal to unify the reporting procedures adopted by both public administrations and private companies. In concrete, the proposal is to adopt the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) both in the private sector and in public administration. Such aproposal appears the best way forward to convey transparency at the interface between corruption and the corruptorsand the extorted and the extortioners.
The bibliography is quite complete and updated; it provides a panorama of what is being produced internationally about the subject of corruption."
Andrea Lapiccirella, former Head of the Office for Performance Measurement at the National Research Council (CNR) in Rome, Italy.

"The book provides us with a timely overview of the subject matter. It has a brief but useful comparative element which locates the discussion in context and it is particularly valuable in setting out details of the Italian case. Although the text is not supported by footnote references the study contains an up-to-date bibliography which will be helpful to scholars working in the field. There are relatively few studies of corruption available in English so this will be welcomed by public lawyers and political scientists who specialise in public administration and law."
Peter Leyland, Visiting Professor of Law, SOAS, University of London.

‘Just how do philosophy and politics interact in India? In exploring the voyage of modern Indian politics through its early "philosopher politicians" — Gandhi, Lohia, Ambedkar and partly Nehru — to its current political leaders, who instead of philosophical grounding seek philosophical justifications for their mostly transactional politics, this book provides refreshingly new perspectives. An intellectually rewarding read!’

“This book is academic reading for someone who is interested in a more philosophical consideration of the value of geospatial technologies in geography education. ... some thought-provoking moments in reading this book and I have noted a few new ideas that I would like to investigate further. ... this book has reaffirmed my belief that Geography has a critical role in equipping students with skills and knowledge in geospatial technologies that can inform sustainable decision-making now and into the future.” (Julian Woolhouse, Geographical Education, Vol. 33, 2020)
