»Was […] der Beginn einer Tragödie sein könnte, entwickelt sich unter der Feder von Tobias Wagner, der für sein Debüt in diesem Jahr mit dem Peter-Härtling-Preis ausgezeichnet wurde, zu einer Mischung aus Coming-of-Age-Geschichte und Roadmovie, die […] mit schnellen Szenenwechseln, schlagfertigen Dialogen und schönen Cliffhangern durchs Geschehen führt.« Lena Bopp, FAZ, 24.03.2025

»Wie Wagner parallel von Demenz und Identitätsfindung erzählt, hat eine große Melancholie: Je mehr der Vater verschwindet, desto mehr findet Leo zu sich selbst. Am Ende ist er nicht allein, obwohl er nach der Mutter auch noch seinen Vater verliert. Ist das das fulminante Finale eines ambitionierten Debüts? Oder doch eher ein Happy End wie Hollywood – und die Jugendliteratur– es mögen?« Christine Knödler, SZ, 22.03.2025

“This edited volume provides a compilation of research carried out on the Swahili coast and its archaeological sites” Stéphane Pradines, Aga Khan Centre, UK, Antiquity Publications

"This book is a great resource for those working along the Swahili coast and interior areas with similar archaeological deposits. Indeed, I finished reading the book with a better understanding of the history, archaeology, linguistics, and anthropology of the Swahili coast. From these perspectives, the authors have explored the Swahili coast’s history from what they consider to be the earliest settlements to the remains of complex monumental structures found there today. This unique wealth of the detail on past of the Swahili coast is the true strength of the book that Wynne-jones and LaViolette produced for us."
Elgidius B. Ichumbaki, African Archeological Review

The Swahili World

"Hermes, messenger of the gods, guide for the dead, deity of the marketplace, all-round trickster and protector of thieves, is hard to pin down. If there is one quality that defines him, though, it is his gentleness, his lightness of touch. Arlene Allan herself covers a lot of ground lightly, offering a svelte introduction to the ancient cults of Hermes, his role in myth, and his reception from antiquity to the present. I thoroughly recommend this book."
- Barbara Graziosi, Durham University, UK


"Allan succeeds in categorizing and illustrating the many and varied aspects of Hermes/Mercury to the reader. She has comprehensively searched the ancient literary sources for references to this deity and presents them clearly ... she has managed to show the different facets of the God Hermes from his childhood on. The book is recommended for all who want to learn about Hermes and Mercury and are interested in the figure’s reception from the Middle Ages to the present day."
- Bärbel Ruhl, University ofMarburg, Germany, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2019

"At last! An authoritative and accessible book that integrates psychoanalytical thinking with current approaches to evidence-based risk assessment. This volume is packed with interesting case vignettes, and explains complex ideas with compelling clarity; essential reading for the practitioner working with violent offenders."

Dr Jackie Craissati, MBE, Consultant Clinical & Forensic Psychologist and Director of Psychological Approaches CIC

"Thank goodness we have thinkers such as Drs Blumenthal, Wood and Williams... In their seminal book, Risk: A Relational Perspective, they begin to integrate the insights from psychoanalysis—the narrative thread of attachment, the unconscious defences of the patient, and the enormous value of countertransference in the clinician—with the actuarial, and mostly phenomenal science of contemporary risk assessment."
Dr J. Reid Meloy, PhD, Clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine
Forensic mental health is riven by polarities: mad v bad, sane v insane, treatment v punishment etc. What a pleasure then to find a book that seeks to integrate ‘hard science’ actuarial data on risk with ‘soft science’ psychoanalytic thought. The latter provides the authors with a meaning behind what otherwise often appears as inexplicable or bizarre behaviour. The authors argue that the exploration of this meaning with a client, while being informed by the relevant actuarial data, ought to reduce future violence thereby benefiting the client, the assessor and society more broadly. 
Conor Duggan, OBE, Emeritus Professor, Division of Psychiatry and Applied Psychology, University of Nottingham

'This is a comprehensive, cutting-edge book ideal for anyone interested in Forensic Psychology. The detailed attention to issues regarding a range of forensic populations and treatment programmes is excellent. The consideration of contemporary issues and the insightful, honest evaluation of the potential challenges of working in secure settings are particularly refreshing. It is an easily-accessible resource that I am sure will be a valued go-to reference for academics, practioners and students. We have needed a volume like this for a long time.' - Dr. Jane L Wood, HCPC Registered Forensic Psychologist, Reader, School of Psychology, University of Kent, UK 
'This outstanding book offers the latest evidence in all areas of forensic psychology practice. The chapters, written by leading authors in the field, aptly capture the complexities of the work, and provide clear guidance for practitioners working in the field. The collection is impressive in its breadth and depth, and will be an essential read for students of forensic psychology and practitioners working in secure settings.' - Joel Harvey, King’s College London, UK

‘Ursula Hoadley is one of the very best of the new generation of writers on curriculum and pedagogy.　 She is a creative and rigorous researcher with an interest in making a difference - and her research on South African schools and their challenges in the post-Apartheid era is confronting. This book brings together vivid depictions of classrooms, teachers, students and failed education reforms – and it develops fresh thinking about curriculum, pedagogy and place in moving forward. It deserves to be widely read.’ - Lyn Yates, Foundation Chair of Curriculum, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne, Australia.
‘Ursula Hoadley examines the complex and revealing relationship between societal structuring, the three South African curriculum reforms, and pedagogic practices in classrooms, detailing its implications for theory, policy and research. Key among these is the reciprocal relation between reform and teacher development. Without "a significant shift in the cognitive horizons of those teaching in our schools," Hoadley concludes, reform must fail. Hoadley makes a compelling argument for a relational conception of curriculum and pedagogy (or knowledge in pedagogy) in thinking about curriculum change. It is argument curriculum studies scholars not only in South Africa but worldwide will want to address.’ - William F. Pinar, Canada Research Chair in Curriculum Studies, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.

"This volume is one of the first to address the strengths and challenges of digital work focused on the historical data provided by one city. 　Nicholas Terpstra and his team have developed a model project to show how new technologies can transform and enhance our historical understanding of places and spaces, breaking down traditional divisions between disciplines and forging new capacities to communicate scholarly information."
Caroline Bruzelius, Duke University, USA
"A highly innovative, fascinating study that will open up new horizons, this groundbreaking book is the first to analyse Renaissance urban history using the powerful tools of digital humanities. This is a highly recommended study, written in non-technical language, of what mapping tools can and cannot do for the study of urban history."　Kathleen Christian, The Open University, UK
