"In this utterly fascinating follow-up to her bestselling The Female Brain, Harvard neuropsychiatrist Brizendine leads readers through the lifespan of a man's brain, using lively prose and personable anecdotes to turn complex scientific research into a highly accessible romp. Among other salient info, readers will learn why it is what young boys seem unable to stay still (they are learning through "embodied cognition"); why behaviors may change so suddenly during puberty (among other changes, testosterone increases 20-fold); the nature of irritability in teens ("boys' hormones prime them for aggressive and territorial behaviors"); and the ways in which chemicals, physical touch, and play bond fathers with their children. With clearly detailed scientific explanations for how characteristics like anger expression, analysis of facial expression, and spatial manipulation differ between the sexes, Brizendine's review of brain and behavioral research should net a broad audience, from parents of boys to psychology students to fans of her first volume. Brizendine also includes an appendix regarding the brain and sexual orientation, as well as lengthy endnotes and an exhaustive reference list."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"As a woman who has known complicated men her whole life, I can't help but wish The Male Brain had been around when I was a girl. Dr. Louann Brizendine's lucid, lively, and always fascinating discussion of how the male brain works (and why) has enlightened me in more ways than I can count. Now I can't wait to give the book to all my women friends."&mdash;Jane Fonda, actress and author of My Life So Far"Dr. Brizendine has marshaled a host of impressive data and insights and presented them in an elegant and entertaining way to clearly illustrate men's reality--as infants, boys, teens, lovers, husbands, fathers and workers. It's a deep dive into the worlds of men, as well as a fascinating read. And along the way, you will pick up some valuable tips to help you understand, appreciate and connect with the men in your life."--Helen Fisher, Ph.D., author of Why Him? Why Her? "It takes an extraordinary woman like Dr. Louann Brizendine to understand the male brain. She brings the latest in state-of-the-art science in helping us to understand the most ancient and primal of male passions and desires--and viva le difference! Highly recommended."-Dean Ornish, author of The Spectrum"The remarkable brain science behind Mars and Venus in a really enjoyable read! I think that this book, along with The Female Brain should be read by every parent, child, husband, wife, employer, employee, and dating age adult &ndash; they bring love and understanding into our most important, and sometimes most frustrating relationships." -Martin L. Rossman, M.D., Clinical Faculty, UCSF; Founder, TheHealingMind.org, Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco"Louann Brizendine has done a great favor for every man who wants to  understand the puzzling women in his life. A breezy and enlightening  guide to women and a must-read for men." &mdash;Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence

&#8220;Like love at first sight, it has the ability to startle.&#8221; &#8211;The Boston Globe&#8220;A deeply affecting work by a Great American Novelist who is still . . . at the top of her form. . . . Morrison&#8217;s tender, taut prose wastes no word, no syllable, no letter. . . . A novel of devastating revelations, impeccably arranged.&#8221; &#8211;The Atlanta Journal-Constitution&#8220;A marvelous work, which enlarges our conception not only of love but of racial politics, the ubiquitous past and . . . paradise.&#8221; &#8211;Los Angeles Times Book Review&#8220;A dense, dark star of a novel . . . with Morrison writing at the top of her game.&#8221; &#8211;Newsweek&#8220;Toni Morrison reframes the mythology of love in a dark light and comes away with a mesmerizing gem.&#8221; &#8211;San Francisco Chronicle&#8220;Like every other stealthy Morrison novel, Love has closets and cellars, bolt-holes and trap-doors and card tricks. . . . Yet again, she gives us dreams.&#8221; &#8211;John Leonard, Vanity Fair&#8220;The carefully crafted work of a storyteller entirely unburdened by her Nobel Prize. . . . William Faulkner and Eudora Welty would feel right welcome. . . . The moral palette of this novel displays a full range of colors.&#8221; &#8211;The Christian Science Monitor&#8220;A profound commentary on the power of love.&#8221; &#8211;The Baltimore Sun&#8220;Love is slim and tight as a folded fan, yet from it the author flashes a panorama three generations wide. . . . When the reader closes the book . . . there is the satisfaction of a song that has ended just right. The standing soloist we applaud . . . is the fierce literary intelligence of Morrison striking the chords of human experience and playing it wise.&#8221; &#8211;The Miami Herald&#8220;Magisterial and gripping . . . a knockout. . . . A reminder of what a marvel a novel can be.&#8221; &#8211;Rocky Mountain News&#8220;To enter a novel by Morrison is to enter a world fully imagined, and Love is no exception. . . . Love takes you on the first page and holds you in the welcome spell of a writer who knows what she&#8217;s doing, and who can slip into the most ordinary sentence a twist of surprise.&#8221; &#8211;San Jose Mercury News&#8220;Love is Morrison back at the peak of her talent. . . . The novel lives up to its name and puts to rest any doubts that its author is anything except great.&#8221; &#8211;New York Daily News&#8220;[A] beautifully wrought meditation on society, family and human nature . . . brimming with provocative, beautiful writing.&#8221; &#8211;The Philadelphia Inquirer&#8220;Love . . . [is] like that song you remember from long ago, the one you danced to, sweet and slow, and which has haunted you ever since. . . . Morrison&#8217;s tale lies in its telling, not just the lilting lyricism of her prose but also the insight into her characters&#8217; hidden hearts.&#8221; &#8211;The Orlando Sentinel&#8220;For pure pleasure, it deserves to be read more than once.&#8221; &#8211;The Plain Dealer&#8220;There is beauty and wisdom in Love. . . . Her lyrical talent and her profound intelligence . . . make themselves felt.&#8221; &#8211;The New York Observer

"It's about time somebody wrote this book.  This quirky, thoughtful volume, bursting with curiosity and intelligence, may make our everyday world more visible to more Americans.  Architecture is too important to be left to architects alone." &#151;Mixed Media"A stunning exploration of the design of design &#133; How Buildings Learn will irrevocably alter yor sense of place, space, and the artifacts that shape them." &#151;Michael Shrage, Wired"Penetratingly original." &#151;Philip Morrison, Scientific American"An extremely attractive volume that will forever alter the way we respond to the buildings around us.  We may also hope it will alter the way architects design buildings." &#151;Harold Gilliam, San Francisco Chronicle"A fascinating and indefinable book &#133; How Buildings Learn is a hymn to entropy, a witty, heterodox book dedicated to kicking the stuffing out of the proposition that architecture is permanent and that buildings cannot adapt." &#151;Stephen Bayley, The Times (London)"The book's diagnosis is clear and to the poiny, and its illustrations of how buildings change are both fascinating and instructive.  This is, in short, one of the rare books that every architect should read." &#151;Thomas Fisher, editor, Progressive Architecture"A book of good sound-bites and laser-sharp insight &#133; No architecture students should complete their preliminary studies without reading it from cover to cover." &#151;Patric Hannay, The Architects' Journal

“Cognitive Changes After Surgery in Clinical Practice provides valuable background about various aspects of POCD, an entity that should concern anesthesiologists. Small enough to fit in a scrub top side pocket, the book can be conveniently carried and usefully perused.” (Stuart R. Hameroff, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 130 (3), March, 2020)

Cognitive Changes after Surgery in Clinical Practice

“This volume, with its comparative multidisciplinary analyses, is a precious instrument for any scholar interested in political discourse analysis or journalistic discourse and provides a clear overview of mediated political communication in Europe. The qualitative approach adopted is especially helpful in presenting an in-depth outline of the main phenomena at stake.” (Maria Ivana Lorenzetti, Iperstoria, Issue 4, 2019)

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The main objective of this monograph is to give a broad and systematic overview of the discipline of wave propagation in disordered media using as a framework the following four phenomena/concepts … . will be a valuable addition to university and research libraries and a useful tool for graduate students and researchers dealing with wave propagation in disordered media. I fully expect it to remain a standard reference and a standard graduate-level textbook for years to come. The polygraphic quality of the book is exemplary." (Michael I. Mishchenko, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer, Vol. 105, 2007)

Introduction to Wave Scattering, Localization and Mesoscopic Phenomena

“It is very readable and precisely written. The major results are proved and 43 algorithmic descriptions are provided. The book contains also several numerical examples to illustrate the presented solution approaches. The book is recommended not only for researchers and practitioners working in scheduling, but also for graduate students since only basic knowledge in discrete mathematics, complexity theory, algorithms, and programming languages is required.” (Frank Werner, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2017)
