&#160;&ldquo;This is the riveting story of an amazing and very brave woman living through some quite turbulent times. And she emerges with head unbowed.&rdquo;&mdash;Archbishop Desmond Tutu &#160; &ldquo;The safety and freedom of citizens in democracies is irretrievably bound with the safety and freedom of people like Shirin Ebadi who are fighting to reassert the best achievements of mankind: universal human rights. One of the staunchest advocates for human rights in her country and beyond, Ms. Ebadi, herself a devout Muslim, represents hope for many in Muslim societies that Islam and democracy are indeed compatible.&rdquo;&mdash;Azar Nafisi &#160; &ldquo;A moving portrait of a life lived in truth.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review &#160; &ldquo;A riveting account of a brave, lonely struggle . . . [Iran Awakening] reads like a police thriller, its drama heightened by Ebadi&rsquo;s determination to keep up the quotidian aspects of her family life.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post Book World &#160; &ldquo;A must read . . . may be the most important book you could read this year.&rdquo;&mdash;Seattle Post-Intelligencer &#160; &ldquo;As a testament to how a single, inspired voice can rise above the cacophony . . . the book should be required reading.&rdquo;&mdash;The Nation &#160; &ldquo;Some of her admirers in Iran call her a woman of steel. Sure, the Iranian human rights champion also has a heart of gold. But it is Shirin Ebadi&rsquo;s unbending will that explains how she has become the conscience of the Islamic Republic.&rdquo;&mdash;Time &#160; &ldquo;[Ebadi] has come forward with professional force and unflagging courage, and she has defied any danger to her own safety. She is truly a woman of the people!&rdquo;&mdash;Ole Danbolt Mjos, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee &#160; &ldquo;[Ebadi] has risked her freedom and her life to defend democracy, free speech, and the rule of law.&rdquo;&mdash;The Boston Globe

"This is a pioneering attempt to situate the multiplex not merely as a space of film exhibition, but a space that becomes the arbiter of cultural economy and aesthetic evaluations. Locating it within the larger debates on changing Indian cities, the authors establish how the closed dialectical relationship between the space and those who inhabit it becomes a key negotiation between self and the legitimate other... This extraordinary book must be read widely and acknowledged for its courage to argue against the aesthetic subversion of many publics, their cities, and their film-exhibition spaces by the multiplex." - Akshaya Kumar; Contemporary South Asia, Vol. 20, No. 3, September 2012

'The arguments here are thought-provoking and the story is well-written. This should be worthwhile reading to anyone interested in the past or the future not only of council housing but also of housing associations.' - John Doling, Local Government Studies'Its most stimulating aspect is the comprehensive approach to the subject and the avoidance of the simplistic explanations so frequently used when dealing with it. Alison Ravetz has not only researched widely, she has also tried to connect the various strands of this complicated and often depressing story. A book that should be compulsory reading for anyone concerned with reducing social inequalities.' - THES, 6 September, 2002

The author … has skillfully assembled a body of knowledge on preparedness and response to accidental and intentional radiological and nuclear incidents targeted at concerned citizens and early responders. … this book is a good contribution on the subject. It is a good resource for both perspective and plain-language explanations of sometimes complex subjects. I would recommend it to health physicists, emergency managers, and those involved with public communication.— George J. Vargo, Health Physics, June 2011
I was very impressed with the book and would strongly recommend it … . The book is well written and places many very intimidating subjects in simple language. … I personally was particularly impressed with the author’s ability to communicate the risks associated with radiation in terms that are both expert and toned down to layman terms. … The book also contains a number of unique items, or perhaps little gems, such as insights not commonly found in the literature nor echoed in circles of health physicists. … In conclusion, I found the book to be well written and of high quality with a potentially wide audience who could substantially benefit from reading and using it.—Nuclear Technology, Vol. 171, August 2010
Dr. Ansari efficiently presents a lot of valuable information in understandable terms. I found the book very useful and think it will be well received by non-scientists and professionals who need to know about radiation safety and nuclear-radiologic preparedness for their work.—Richard J. Martin, J.D.

I found it to be a great resource … for the non-radiation expert.—Adela Salame-Alfie, Ph.D., New York State Department of Health
... the best and most comprehensive treatment of this subject…informative and enjoyable to read…. This book will make a valuable addition to my reference library and, I would think, to yours as well. And to your physician’s, your neighbors’, your therapist’s, your hospital’s, your relatives’, and for anyone else who might have to deal with a radiological emergency or its aftermath.—Health Physics News

"This is a ‘must read’ book for cross-cultural developmental psychologists and those interested in the way data from the majority world can inform mainstream psychology."- Harry C. Triandis, Contemporary Psychology
"Her contextual-development-functional approach which links the child, family, and society as they are embedded in culture is one which those of us who are steeped in the Western psychological approach would do well to consider."- Editor, The Parenting Forum
"[...] a tour de force of integration and synthesis [...] the book is readable, informative, and accessible both to researchers in the field of cultural and cross-cultural psychology and to college and graduate students interested in a broader perspective regarding human development [...] Kagitçibasi has made a dramatic and valuable contribution to thinking about the individual, the family, and culture in both the Majority World and the West." - Kathleen Malley-Morrison and Andrea Mercurio, in PsycCRITIQUES
