28th of August, 2010Referee’s opinionCellular effects of heavy metalsedited by Gáspár Bánfalvi The aim of this book is challenging: an extended review in different biological models about the physiologic role of heavy metals in one hand, and detailed summary of pathological consequences of heavy metal exposure in the other hand. The question is discussed in different evolutionary stages from the microbes and plants to the highly evolved mammalians. Theoretical and practical aspects of both fields are more extended then a regular size of a handbook. I would like to lie down my opinion: the editor very successfully solved this contradiction. The structure of the handbook is well balanced. Most important fields are selected in the extended and divergent literature. Authors of the 18 chapters are carefully numbered. The biological importance of heavy metals in physiologic functions and in pathologic alterations is equally interesting for specialist working in environmental biology, for medical doctors working in public health, for researches in cellular biology fundamental science, for students studying biology, or biologists with simple interest in current results of this field. The scientific content of the all 18 chapters is high quality. The cited literature is appropriate but some discrepancies are among the chapters in number of the cited articles (e.g. see Chapter No.4 and No, 9). Figures and tables and their legends are mostly informative. More demonstration materials – if the size of this book takes possible – would be remarkable help for readers. However, the divergent field of the chapters increases the importance of a general summary of the book. The “Introduction” is appropriate, but not achieves a framework of the divergent chapters and not enough strongly summarizes a guideline of the whole book. I suggest a careful remodelling the “Introduction” according to the general message of the book. Some other small details are personally discussed by the editor. I straight suggest publishing this book after the suggested revision. Peter Nemeth MD., PhD.Professor of immunology and biotechnologyUniversity of Pécs, Hungary

Cellular Effects of Heavy Metals

From the reviews:"The monograph concentrates on nonequilibrium phase transitions from fluctuating (ordered) states into so-called absorbing states, which can never be left by the system once reached. … Extended appendices (plus solutions of excercises and answers to problems) on specific models … make the book useful not only to scientists and lecturers, but also to advanced graduate students." (Piotr Garbaczewski, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1165, 2009)“This research monograph … provides a highly desirable and topical pedagogical introduction as well as a timely overview of recent advances in theoretical investigations of continuous non-equilibrium phase transition from active states to inactive absorbing states. … This text is likely to become a standard reference in the field, and should be an indispensable source of information for both beginning and already seasoned researchers interested in non-equilibrium statistical physics, the theory of stochastic processes, and fundamental properties of reaction-diffusion systems … .” (Uwe C. Täuber, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 h)

From the reviews:

"This monograph deals with both theoretical and practical aspects of the mathematical theory of extremes. ... The book surely will be interesting and useful to researchers and practitioners in the areas of geophysics and environmental sciences and engineering. It can be also useful to any one interested in having a rigorous summary of the main results and modern developments of the theory of extreme events in the context of physical applications."

Challenges in Health and Development

From the reviews:“This textbook takes a brave step in attempting to nail down the many complexities arising in the treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) today. … The book purports to be of interest to healthcare professionals and trainees … . provides a valuable handbook for the practitioner to consult when counseling patients. … a useful reference for currently available algorithms and treatments that will prove useful in understanding and providing the best care for patients with HCC in the context of local resources.” (Willscott Naugler, Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology, 2011)“A highlight of this book is the comprehensive review of the alterations in cell physiology, which allow for the transformation of normal cells into malignant cells. … An in-depth review of the pathologic features and characteristics are performed. … This book is ideal for any physician involved in the care of HCC patients. It is well written and organized making it easy to read. House officers, fellows, and more seasoned physicians in internal medicine, surgery, or radiology will benefit from this comprehensive review.” (Crisitina R. Ferrone, Annals of Surgery, Vol. 254 (6), December, 2011)“This is a comprehensive but portable book on hepatocellular carcinoma, a major cause of cancer deaths worldwide. … It is written for practitioners in the field and, because management is multidisciplinary, this will include a wide spectrum of specialists. Surgeons, gastroenterologists, radiologists (especially interventional radiologists), hepatologists, oncologists, anesthesiologists, and others will find the book of interest. … a useful reference for clinicians involved in the care of these difficult patients. It is both compact and affordable and, thus, is a welcome addition to the field.” (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2012)

From the reviews:“The author has crafted a carefully written textbook which I recommend both to students in competitive location theory … and to practitioners with an interest in the discipline. One of the book’s nicest aspects is its detailed discussion of the assumptions at the basis of each model. This gives the author the chance to assess the usefulness and limits of each approach, and to relate the entire set of models in terms of questions that can (or cannot) be answered in that specific framework.” (Gaetano Alfredo Minerva, Scienze Regionali, Vol. 11 (2), 2012)“The geography of competition: Firms, prices, and localization … is a well-crafted, clearly written book that fully completes the agenda it lays out from the outset. It provides an exhaustive, in-depth and excellent study of one of the most important fields in spatial economics. … It is constructed and written in a clear manner. … It is an invaluable reference for researchers as well as students who are concerned with economic geography, regional science, urban economics, location theory, civil engineering, transportation, and urban planning.” (Wei-Bin Zhang, Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 91 (1), March, 2012)

Firms, Prices, and Localization

The Geography of Competition

Antoon van den Braembussche has written a well-founded and deserving book, which is also of startling complexity and literary quality.- Prof. Michael Lingner, University of the Visual Arts, Hamburg, Germany

&nbsp;I am very impressed by the book. In a relatively limited space of 300 pages it unfolds a broad spectrum of philosophy of art, including methodological issues. The included suggestions for further reading will certainly stimulate students towards further independent research in the field.- Prof. Brigitte Scheer, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Van den Braembussche not only introduces the most important theories of modern art philosophy clearly and systematically, he continuously compares the diverse theoretical viewpoints with each another. The book presents an easily accessible picture of the current debate in art philosophy. The book is also charming because the author closes each chapter with "The Artist's Studio", where the philosophical issues discussed are considered from the perspective of an artist.- Henk Slager, Editor of Lier & Boog (Published)

Thinking Art was written as a teacher's manual for philosophy of art. But thanks to the systematic treatment and the understandable language, casual and lacking dry theory, the book is accessible to everyone.- Philosophy Magazine (Published)

Van den Braembussche provides a convincing demonstration of the productive relationship between art philosophy, the artist and art itself.- Krisis (Published)
