A Baker & Taylor Academic Essentials Title in Genocide Studies  'At last, an author who is not afraid to examine the politics of the use of Holocaust imagery. Buettner's ground-breaking study enables us to understand not only why these images, rather than other catastrophes, have come to hold such tremendous power but also how their use evokes affect in a wide range of recent catastrophes and causes. I highly recommend it.'  Jon Stratton, Curtin University, Australia  'This is an exceptionally intelligent, brave and perceptive work of cultural criticism, which deals with a genre of traumatic visual imagery that helped define the last century, in order to demonstrate why we need to better understand the "politics of seeing" that shapes the production and cultural reception of images in the news.'  Graeme Turner, University of Queensland, Australia  'Although Holocaust images can be open to interpretation and misinterpretation, they are also crucial to understanding in our search for explanations, for archival memory and attempts to curate impartial, objective resources such as the Legacy Project which is mentioned in the final chapter. With so many competing, charged emotions and beliefs, this cannot have been an easy book to write, but Buettner has succeeded in producing a thoroughly well-researched and original study which will particularly interest those working in the fields of cultural and media studies. Studies such as this are useful in understanding the way we see and look and the context in which images are presented. It can be recommended.' Online Information Review  'Holocaust Images and Picturing Catastrophe makes a worthwhile contribution to this emerging field of study. ... for those working in the fields of visual/ media studies and identity politics, Buettner’s insights into the workings of visual analogy and the cultural reproduction of images, her deployment of a wide variety of examples, and her explication of the fundamental and multifaceted rol

'Although risk management has brought greater safety to socio-technical systems, a new approach is still strongly needed. Erik Hollnagel's excellent book offers the right approach; that resilient behaviour by people leads to stable systems. Those searching for a more profound understanding of system safety must read this book as it is a practical guide to this new approach.' Akinori Komatsubara, Waseda University, Japan  'With crises abounding, the concept of resilience is more relevant than ever. Manifold examples from a variety of high-risk industries provide insights into the four basic requirements for resilience: responding, monitoring, anticipating, and learning. Tools are presented that support the assessment of these requirements as well as their promotion, be it by training emergency management, handling fatigue of system operators, supporting preventive maintenance, providing better rules for managing conflicting goals, or improving incident reporting. The book, by Erik Hollnagel and his colleagues, will be a great resource for system designers and decision-makers in organizations in their endeavours to keep the uncertainties and complexities of our world at bay.' Gudela Grote, ETH ZÃ¼rich, Switzerland  'Be prepared to be unprepared. How do you do that? By absorbing the evocative data, nuanced terminology, sustained guidance, and broad applications summarized here. Resilience is about more than engineering as becomes clear in these descriptions of the actual, critical, potential, and factual events that unfold when disturbances fall outside the operational envelope. Resilience engineering is a hot topic. Here is the one book that shows you why!'  Karl E. Weick, University of Michigan, USA  'The book is very practical in the sense that only relevant and significant theories or frameworks are discussed followed by extensive descriptions of the situations on the field. Solution-seekers are the group of readers who will benefit the most from readin

'... the book adds to the field's knowledge regarding the impact of the CSI effect on prisoners and is written for scholars and practitioners in the fields of criminal justice and legal studies. Additionally, individuals interested in forensics as well as those intrigued by the impact mass media has on our understanding of the legal system may benefit from this book.' International Criminal Justice Review  'Tracing Technologies offers a remarkably knowledgeable and clear account on the societal dimensions and implications of forensic and police uses of DNA analysis by two leading scholars in the field. It is the first empirical study to investigate prisoners' views on forensic technologies in the era of CSI,  providing fascinating insights in a so far under-explored field of research.' Thomas Lemke, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany  'This book is one of the rare cases where a highly specialised field of expert knowledge links to broader issues of social theory. Tracing the use of DNA-profiles in the criminal justice system in two European countries, Portugal and Austria, the authors develop a history of the techno-medical modern gaze on the criminal, with a specific focus on the reflexive view of the prisoners, i.e. the subjects primarily targeted by this technology. Stretching from close scrutiny of empirical analysis to a bird's eye perspective on cultural, political and societal structures Machado and Prainsack demonstrate the close linkages of surveillance, modernity and technology. This book will inform scholars of criminology, forensic sciences, science and technology studies and social theory alike.' Reinhard Kreissl, Institut fÃ¼r Rechts- und Kriminalsoziologie, Austria  'The book is a helpful and informative source for all those people who are aware of and also research the impact that 'genetic information' has on today's society.'  Austrian Journal of Political Science  'By giving prisoners a voice in the debate, Machado and Prainsack make a valuable c

'20 years after the collapse of the USSR, this volume takes stock of our understanding of the political regimes in the post-Soviet space, throwing new light on many complexities and nuances of these regimes. Focussed and ambitious in its analysis, the volume will be a valuable companion to any student of post-Soviet politics.' Kataryna Wolczuk, University of Birmingham, UK  'The idea behind this book is a good one. Many claims have been made about the nature of post-Soviet regimes but there has been little by way of a consolidated review of the subject. This volume brings together theoretical discussions and case studies, with editorial synthesis in the introduction and the conclusion... this volume is still a very useful and commendable addition to the literature.' Political Studies Review  'This collection provides a useful snapshot of the character of a range of post-Soviet states and how their political systems have developed in the twenty years since they emerged as independent states. The analysis and application of neopatrimonial, competitive authoritarian and hybrid regime-types lays the ground for further consideration of the applicability of these classifications. This collection will be of interest to researchers familiar with the region and those interested in gaining insights into the applicability of these three important classifications of regime-type.' Journal of Contemporary European Studies  '... this excellent volume is a major contribution to post-Soviet studies: it provides an exciting debate with diverse and dissenting views on the enigma of the political trajectories in the area.'

"This is a remarkable book that provides a comprehensive examination of the most critical issues surrounding civil rights laws and policies. It offers an excellent toolkit for public service professionals working in diverse environments who have had little exposure to civil rights matters and challenges. Scholars will benefit from the historical and contemporary analysis of civil rights law. Going beyond existing literature, the book addresses civil rights for groups such as Native Americans and LGBTs that have traditionally been omitted from the narrative. This book should be required reading in a broad number of areas including public administration, public management, civil rights law and policy and constitutional law." –Norma M. Riccucci, Rutgers University, USA
"How do Americans comprehend differentness? This book provides the answer, matching constitutional interpretation with legal reasoning to explain how we got to where we are. This is an expertly crafted work that will be invaluable to those who study civil rights, diversity, social equity, and inequality. It is accessible, informative, and revealing." –Mary E. Guy, University of Colorado Denver, USA
"This is a brilliant book that forces the reader to think about civil rights through a variety of lenses, including those of African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, women, the LGBT community, and those with disabilities. Phil Cooper creatively fills in the gaps left by traditional civil rights treatises and pushes us to think about crafting more equitable policies and practices. It is a tour de force." –Rosemary O’Leary, University of Kansas, USA

“Conceptual Change in Biology presents and excellent collection of papers, written by some of the most central researchers and philosophers in the field, that situate original biological research in historical context in an engaging and accessible manner. In addition, thanks to the narrative and personal style of various authors the edition allows the reader approaching the current theoretical shift in biology and the conceptual transformations at the intersection between development and evolution, respectively, in a unique and lively fashion.” (Jan Baedke, Acta Biotheoretica, Vol. 64, 2016)“This book does a very good job of showing how around 1980 scientists from fields as different as paleontology and molecular embryology came together to found EvoDevo. … The book is nicely produced and most chapters well illustrated. … The book is also well bound and will withstand intense use in libraries, labs, and offices. … recommended to both research workers and advanced students of history and philosophy of biology, as well as to evolutionary biologists.” (Lennart Olsson, Biological Theory, Vol. 11, 2016)“The book is the product of a 2010 workshop commemorating the influential 1981 Dahlem conference that inspired the research program now known as evolutionary developmental biology, or Evo-devo. … theorists who take the time to digest this collection’s offerings will find it a resource worth consuming. … The book’s essays give conceptual and historical context to current debates such as the one over dinosaur integument.” (Leonard Finkelman, Metascience, Vol. 24, 2015)“This book offers an excellent set of examples of the large extent to which an individual researcher can modify targets, approaches, and eventually interpretations of nature along his or her career … .” (Alessandro Minelli, Science and Education, Vol. 24, 2015)
