"In each chapter, I like the gradual progression from the basic physics and chemistry concepts to a clear description and discussion of practical devices of current technological interest. … There is a definite need for a book of this type. Most electrochemistry books focus attention on the physical and analytical aspects of the subject. Very few books consider solid state ionics in one complete volume. … This book has the potential to be an excellent seller. The author can write and communicate complex ideas very well indeed. I would like to have a copy on my bookshelf and I would certainly use the book in my advanced courses."—Professor Mike Lyons, School of Chemistry and CRANN, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Praise for When You See Me&ldquo;Lisa Gardner is a master of the psychological thriller that dives deep into the minds of characters that experience trauma and come out stronger from the experience.&rdquo;--Associated Press"Gardner effortlessly . . . introduces and paints a number of characters. . . . Fast-paced and gripping.&rdquo;--Columbus Dispatch"A stunner of a tale that finds [Gardner] at the top of her game. . . . [A] relentlessly riveting psychological thriller that never lets up and never lets us down.&rdquo;--Providence Journal&ldquo;This is top-notch suspense by a bestselling master of the genre.&rdquo;--Booklist (starred review)"An emotionally powerful page-turner. Fans of kick-ass female investigators will be well satisfied."--Publishers Weekly&#160;&#160;&ldquo;Gardner juggles multiple narratives . . . with ease. A sensitive exploration of trauma and its insidious, lasting effects.&rdquo;--Kirkus Reviews"The forensic analysis of shallow graves can unearth a lot of clues, but&#160;When You See Me&#160;also looks at the ways evil is handed down from one generation to the next. It&rsquo;s a mystery that will keep you up late at night, haunted by the events within its pages.&rdquo;--Bookpage&#160;One of . . . PopSugar&rsquo;s &ldquo;31 New Thriller and Mystery Books to Look Out for in 2020&rdquo; Bustle&rsquo;s &ldquo;35 Most Anticipated Books of January 2020&rdquo; CrimeRead&rsquo;s &ldquo;10 Novels You Should Read in January&rdquo; Mystery Tribune&rsquo;s &ldquo;16 Best Crime, Mystery, and Thriller Books of January 2020&rdquo;Gardner continues to put her three best characters together, a proven winning recipe that again delivers a pulse-pounding reading experience.&rdquo;--The Real Book Spy&ldquo;This is a book rich in description, as well as delving into the motives and thoughts of each of the characters.&rdquo;--The New York Journal of Books&ldquo;Warning.

When You See Me is a masterpiece.&rdquo;--Fresh Fiction&ldquo;Another edgy thriller from one of my favorite authors. The sinister factor starts early and builds quickly as Southern town charm gives way to deadly menace and dangerous secrets in this twist-a-minute novel. A string of murders, a crack FBI team, and a voiceless girl desperate for revenge, When You See Me has it all.&rdquo;--Karin Slaughter&ldquo;When You See Me is another rocket-fuel-propelled thriller from Lisa Gardner. This culmination of her great talents sees the return of her finest characters (including my favorite, Flora Dane), who collide with an intrigue that starts out chillingly intimate and explodes into a sky-high denouement that will leave you breathless.&rdquo;--Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series&ldquo;A twisty-turny psycho-thriller with a plot and characters that won&rsquo;t let you go. Lisa Gardner is at the top of her game!&rdquo;--Kathy Reichs, author of the Temperance Brennan Bones series

Praise for&#160;The Vatican Prophecies&ldquo;What makes this book a page-turner that many will find difficult to put down are its countless stories about the work, convictions and religious experiences of real people. . . .&#160;The Vatican Prophecies examines a question that Thavis&#160;says &lsquo;Catholic thinkers and officials are trying to answer&rsquo; with mounting urgency: &lsquo;In the 21st century, can the miraculous and the reasonable peacefully coexist?&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;Catholic News Service&ldquo;[Thavis's] new book shares how the Vatican deals with supernatural &mdash; or supposedly supernatural &mdash; events, from holy relics to instances of possession.&#160;Thavis makes it clear that events of this sort put the Vatican in a difficult spot. On one hand, they cannot reject such supernatural phenomena outright, as to do so would reject many elements of the religion&rsquo;s history.&#160;At the same time, every claim of a supernatural or otherworldly presence must be handled with extreme skepticism, to prevent the Church from being taken in by charlatans, any one of whom could deal a blow to the Church&rsquo;s credibility.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The New York Post&ldquo;[A]s much a compulsory read for any Catholics who may think they understand the mysterious side of their faith as it is for the skeptics who criticize the Catholic customs.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Daily Beast&ldquo;Thavis&rsquo;s second book is a lively, far-reaching exploration of the paranormal aspects of the Catholic faith, investigating both the role that such phenomena play in the lives of parishioners and the official stance of the institutional church . . . . [The Vatican Prophecies] is an engaging introduction.&rdquo;  &mdash;Kirkus Reviews &#160; &ldquo;This engaging overview of contemporary supernatural occurrences is filled with stories and case studies. Catholics and those interested in Christian history will appreciate this exploration of the efforts to balance modern rationalism with traditional devotional practices.&rdquo;  &mdash;Library Journal &#160; &ldquo;The process by which these supernatural events are authenticated is expertly told by John Thavis, one of the world&rsquo;s leading Vaticanologists. In fact, that a book on so secretive and complex a topic is so deeply researched, beautifully written, and artfully told is something of a small miracle itself.&rdquo; &mdash;James Martin, S.J., author of Jesus: A PilgrimagePraise for&#160;The Vatican Diaries &#160; &ldquo;Wonder what&rsquo;s going on behind those huge doors at the Vatican? Wonder what those cardinals are up to as they scurry about getting ready to elect a new pope? Wonder what the man who rings the bells when that new pope is finally elected is thinking? Thavis answers all in this fascinating book.&rdquo; &mdash;USA Today &#160; &ldquo;A veritable handbook on all things Vatican.&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily Beast &#160; &ldquo;A thoughtful meditation on recent papal administrations and the bureaucrats, functionaries, and emissaries who advance or thwart Rome's global ambitions.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Journal of Books &#160; &ldquo;Most fascinating is Thavis&rsquo; generous assessment of Benedict XVI, whom he sees as an almost tragic figure.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Yorker &#160; &ldquo;Thavis&rsquo;s Vatican Diaries is well worth putting on your Amazon wish list.&rdquo; &mdash;Forbes &#160; &ldquo;[The Vatican Diaries] succeeds well in presenting the Roman Curia as a flesh&mdash;and&mdash;blood community, a byzantine theater of the sacred.&rdquo; &mdash;National Catholic Reporter &#160; &ldquo;Entertaining and readable.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly &#160; &ldquo;A lively book that's steeped in history and personality.&rdquo; &mdash;The Eagle Tribune &#160; &ldquo;Thavis has offered this rare, perceptive and highly readable glimpse into a power structure that is less in control than many would have us believe.&rdquo; &mdash;America &#160; &ldquo;Illuminating and fully accessible to members of the faith and doubters alike.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews &#160; &ldquo;In an age when social media threatens to emasculate news and current affairs, Thavis&rsquo; work is a refreshing sign that great journalism is not dead. Instead of the inane trivia that now passes for &lsquo;news&rsquo;, Thavis provides us with an account of great depth carefully tempered with censure and sympathy.&rdquo; &mdash;Justin Cahill, Booktopia &#160; &ldquo;An American Catholic who has done his homework, learned Latin and Italian, made friends in high places, found his way for thirty years in the maze of Church bureaucracy, gives us a humane and realistic and (yes) humorous picture of a mortal institution that guides hundreds of millions of mortals along the path from birth to death and beyond. To an old Prot like me, it&rsquo;s a tour of alien terrain and a bridge to old and dear friends.&rdquo;&#160;&#160;  &mdash;Garrison Keillor &#160; &ldquo;Vatican Diaries is a must-read for anyone interested in the Vatican&rsquo;s role in the Catholic Church and the world. &mdash;Thomas J. Reese, S.J. &#160; &ldquo;The Vatican Diaries by John Thavis provides us with an intriguing and much needed antidote to one of the most common problems affecting many Catholics and non&mdash;Catholics who look at the Vatican these days: the assumption of the cold ruthlessness of the &lsquo;machine&rsquo;. Thavis shows us also the deeply human side of the Vatican, the last Empire and the last, great theater of the sacred in Western Christianity.&rdquo; &mdash;Massimo Faggioli, University of St. Thomas &#160; &ldquo;In this highly readable memoir of being a journalist at the Vatican, John Thavis follows the conclaves, sex scandals, internal backstabbing and olympian nature of the popes with a sense of comic relief at the caravan passing through his viewfinder.&rdquo; &mdash;Jason Berry, author of Render unto Rome: The Secret Life of Money in the Catholic Church

". . . the collection provides an incisive debate over some of the major issues confronting feminism in relation to postmodernism." -- The Women's Review of Books". . . a valuable collection for anyone concerned with either feminism or postmodernism, but especially for those concerned with their integration." -- Studies in the Humanities"This collection represents some of the vanguard feminist philosophy today. The complexity and erudition of the scholarship are proof of the maturity of feminist thought. The energy and depth of the analyses are proof that feminist theory has both the ability to keep its critical edge even when the subject of attack is itself and a deep reserve of vitality nourished by commitment to practical struggle." -- Hypatia"The papers collected here are among the very best, feminist or other, that try to map out the tortured terrain and point the way to an answer." -- Andrea Nye, Hypatia

Advance praise: 'Amid the vast interpretive literature on Adam Smith's great book there has never been a book-length reader's guide until now. Chapter by chapter, Jerry Evensky, a noted Smith specialist, gently leads the reader through the entirety of Smith's book. By focusing on the institutional and evolutionary background of the work, Evensky carefully weaves together the ethical, legal, and economic facets of Smith's massive inquiry into the human condition without getting bogged down in sticky points of interpretation. While aimed at his fellow scholars, the book is appropriate for, and deserves, a wide readership among the general public. Smith's wisdom is as relevant today as it was when he was alive.' Jeffrey T. Young, St Lawrence University
