Mortem

"Waiton has produced a thought-provoking and challenging book; that takes recent criminological debates (such as those around social control, actuarial justice, risk and fear of crime) and resituates them within a wider sociological thesis about the decline of coherent political culture."
- Majid Yar, University of Hull, Crime, Media, Culture
"This is a book packed with sharp and original insights that marks out a significant new line of enquiry for theories of criminal law and criminal justice."
- Peter Ramsay, London School of Economics, Criminology and Criminal Justice
"This work should be widely read. It is an acute analysis that effectively challenges common explanations for what are assumed to be social problems."
- Harris Chaiklin, University of Maryland, The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease

'As Mallan's discussions demonstrate, in terms of moral takes on the value of truth-telling or lying, children's fiction is much more versatile than one first might think... Secrets, Lies and Children's Fiction is, truly, a thought-provoking work.' - Sanna Lehtonen, University of Jyväskylä, Finland

'Kerry Mallan's Secrets, Lies and Children's Fiction is an important study of books that introduce young readers to the complexities of truth. Mallan offers a theoretically informed treatment of the ethical issues relating to how we communicate truthfully and duplicitously in both the private and the public spheres. She takes her theoretical acumen into her close readings of a range of contemporary (and a few more time-honoured) texts for child and young adult readerships. Her choice of texts to scrutinize includes several of the most important recent books by the likes of Brian Selznick, Daniel Handler, Suzanne Collins, and Cory Doctorow. This is a major achievement.' - Roderick McGillis, Emeritus Professor of English, the University of Calgary, Canada

'Kerry Mallan, in this fascinating addition to Palgrave Macmillan's Critical approaches to children's literature series, explores not only the paradox of our searching for truth in fictional stories, but also the very moral conundrum of the essence and social necessity of Truth.' - New Perspectives on Children's Literature

'Secrets, Lies and Children's Fiction opens up promising avenues of inquiry into the status of truth in chidren's fiction that readers will be eager to explore further.' - Sarah F. Sahn, Children's Literature Association Quarterly

Die Welt und alles, was sie enthält

"You are fortunate to have in your hands an exciting, engaging, and wonderfully edited volume stemming from a conference on temporality in analysis.　 Angeliki Yassemides has rendered a great service to analytical psychology in putting together the conference and this subsequent compilation of papers that plumb the depths of time, especially as experienced in psychological reality.　 Multifaceted explorations of clinical, cultural and historical reflections on time offer readers the opportunity for a plunge into the complexity we call time.　 Do take the time to savor this delightful collection." - Joe Cambray, Ph.D, Provost, Pacifica Graduate Institute, Past-President, IAAP
"Angeliki Yiassemides has assembled a richly stocked treasure chest of a book. Each individual essay is a gem, and the totality amounts to a brilliant display of psychological insight into a multitude of experiences of temporality. This work is bound to generate much further discussion and interest in a topic of contemporary interest for all schools of psychotherapy." - Murray Stein, Author of Minding the Self.
"The counting and accounting of time, which passes at its own rhythms, the individual and collective feeling of duration, the experience of living in different temporalities, some of them simultaneous, the amazement we feel when the past, supposedly gone forever, proves to be present still, or abruptly returns, or stubbornly repeats itself: all of these events occur daily. They continually mobilize our attention and wonderment, whether we are farming, strolling, making art, or researching physics or philosophy. 
This age-old amazement and exploration come to life again, renewed by depth psychology, in various contemporary psychoanalytical traditions, and particularly in the works of Jung and of today’s Jungian analysts and researchers. Recently, Angeliki Yiassemides reopened the proceedings masterfully, with Time and Timelessness: Temporality in the Theory of Carl Jung (Routledge, 2014). In this new book, she brings together a set of authors which includes some of the most influential thinkers in Jungian psychology and psychoanalysis. Within the scope of his own research, each essayist reconsiders the investigations and theories elaborated so far on the subject of time and temporality, suggesting new approaches and opening perspectives to help us recognize and think about time in the diversity of its expressions and dimensions. 
"I fervently recommend this book to every curious mind, to researchers, scholars, and clinicians. It provides abundant food for thought and observation." - Christian Gaillard

"Overall, the book does not only cover a very broad range of different topics but manages to explain these coherently. … this book is not only of interest for scientists in the pharmaceutical industry but also for academia due to its thorough presentation."—Frank Emmert-Streib, Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 21(6), 2012
"… well written and easy to read. … this book is worthwhile reading as a long introduction to Monte Carlo simulation and its eventual application in pharmaceutical industry. It can convince people to consider this methodology …"—Sophie Donnet, International Statistical Review, 2012
"This is an ambitious book covering a very wide array of topics … the theoretical presentation is reliable and sophisticated … the ability of the author to condense such a broad array of topics, and to present them in a cohesive manner, is quite impressive, and means that the book will contain information of relevance to a wide audience. … Many statisticians working in the pharmaceutical industry will benefit from having access to a copy of this book. Some statisticians working outside the industry may also benefit from having access to a copy, particularly those working in areas overlapping with the pharmaceutical industry, such as clinical science and health economics."—Ian C. Marschner, Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics, 2011
"For industry statisticians, scientists, and software engineers and programmers, Chang, who works for a pharmaceutical company, details concepts, theories, algorithms, and case studies for carrying out computer simulations in the drug development process, from drug discovery to clinical trial aspects to commercialization. He covers analogy and simulation using examples from different areas, general sampling methods and the different stages of drug development, simulation approaches based on game theory and the Markov decision process, simulations in classical and adaptive trials, and challenges in clinical trial management and execution. He then addresses prescription drug marketing strategies and brand planning, molecular design and simulation, computational systems biology and biological pathway simulation with Petri nets, and physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling and pharmacodynamic models, ending with Monte Carlo computing techniques for statistical inference."—SciTech Book News, February 2011

Tola is small, but she is mighty. In three episodic chapters, Tola uses her not-inconsequential perseverance to help her grandmother, other family members, and those in her wider Lagos community. . . Atinuke&#8217;s writing is rich with imagery and replicates the music and rhythm of Tola&#8217;s daily life. The stories are copiously illustrated with line drawings of a round-faced, appealingly welcoming protagonist. The friendly format, universal emotional truths, helpful illustrations, and strong writing work together to immerse young readers in Tola&#8217;s world.&#8212;The Horn Book (starred review)A young girl learns that she doesn&#8217;t have to be big to make a difference. . .This collection of stories is perfect for transitioning readers, with its manageable chapters, clear, plain language, simple sentence structures, wry sense of humor, and realistic illustrations of the diverse Nigerian cast. . . An enjoyable, endearing collection.&#8212;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)In this winning trio of stories, Atinuke (Catch That Chicken!) introduces readers to counting whiz Tola, who lives with her family in &#8220;a run-down block of apartments in the megacity of Lagos, in the country of Nigeria&#8221;. . . Detailed grayscale illustrations by Iwu accompany the text, enlivening the characters alongside Atinuke&#8217;s quick conversational text. Though class dynamics are prominent in Tola&#8217;s life, the stories continually affirm the value of community care. . .Evoking all five senses to render contemporary Nigeria, the creators celebrate the beauty of daily life through Tola&#8217;s joy, wonder, and perseverance.&#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred review)Nigerian-born children&#8217;s author Atinuke introduces a memorable new heroine in Too Small Tola. . .Atinuke is a masterful storyteller, playing with language and rhythm as she evokes Tola&#8217;s world.

Atinuke's use of Nigerian words throughout, accompanied by Onyinye Iwu's illustrations, immerse readers in Nigerian culture. . . Atinuke uses child-friendly, entertaining dialogue and incorporates accessible themes such as bullying and helping others in need. Her inclusion of rounded and well-developed secondary characters also helps Tola recognize that strength might not necessarily come from the muscles, but the heart.&#8212;Shelf Awareness (starred review)Everyone in Tola&#8217;s apartment complex in Lagos thinks she is too small to be of any use, but in this three-chapter easy reader, the girl proves them wrong time and again. . . Tola will be relatable to any youngster who has had to prove themselves to the big kids (or grownups). . . a must have for easy reader collections in need of cultural diversity.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksLiving in Nigeria with her grandmother and siblings, Moji and Dapo, is not always easy for Tola. The family&#8217;s apartment is small and in need of a makeover, not to mention that the electricity and water situation is unpredictable. But through it all, young Tola shows she can be a big influence. . . Throughout the story we see evidence of Tola&#8217;s tight-knit and diverse community. &shy;An appropriate and enjoyable beginning chapter book for young readers who are transitioning from picture books.&#8212;School Library JournalIn this collection of three short stories, Tola is able to use her small stature, quick counting skills, and measuring skills to not only overcome adversity, but also make her community better. . . . These stories are filled with hope, with themes of overcoming challenges and gratitude. Although some readers will have a hard time understanding the conditions in which Tola lives (sharing a bed with her sister and Grandmommy, waking up to no water or power), these stories will give them insight into daily life in another part of the world, and the messages are universal.&#8212;School Library ConnectionEach of the three chapters in Atinuke&#8217;s book for young readers acts as an episodic short story involving Tola, her two older siblings (Dapo and Moji), and their fierce but loving grandmother. . .This pleasant read will introduce readers to other lifestyles and Nigerian culture. . . Tola is likable, her family relatable, and Iwu&#8217;s cartoon illustrations will help kids puzzle out unfamiliar words&#8212;Booklist'Too Small Tola' has a diminutive heroine, but it&#8217;s a big charmer and treats its newly capable readers with a respect that will make them feel knowledgeable and sophisticated.&#8212;The Wall Street JournalYou&#8217;d have to practice for a very long while to duplicate the calculated degree of heart and the humor embedded in an Atinuke title. I know Atinuke can&#8217;t keep producing these books forever, but for as long as she can, let us hope that she does.&#8212;A Fuse #8 ProductionAlive with unfamiliar, colorful words, this illustrated chapter book will broaden young readers' views of the world.&#8212;The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Textbook of Rapid Response Systems

“This book is a must-read for all scholars, as well as practitioners, who are trying to understand the difficult process of coming to terms with the past and all the complexities of this process in which an individual needs to first learn about, discuss, interpret and understand the traumatic past in order to (potentially) come to terms with it.” (Tamara Banjeglav, Southeastern Europe, Vol. 44 (2), 2020)“International Courts and Mass Atrocity provides an in-depth analysis of the transitional justice process in Croatia. Sokolić not only works through the fault lines of the ICTY regarding the case of Croatia, but also sheds light on an issue that the international criminal justice system as a whole often neglects: namely, the strength of the local in creating and maintaining war narratives. The book is therefore a must-read for transitional justice scholars and practitioners both in the Balkans and beyond.” (Ebru Demir, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, May 08, 2019)
