"Ethnographic studies of probation are still rare and here Matt Tidmarsh brings together observation and interview findings to offer many deep insights into practice. An accomplished theoretical analysis, drawing especially on Foucault, is interwoven with and brought to life by engaging case studies, vivid quotations from probation staff and acute perceptions of interactions with service users. There are well-judged reflections on the architecture and layout of one particular office and the effect these arrangements have on probation practice and its meanings, both to staff and service users. This is an instructive and rewarding account of modern probation practice and is especially timely while plans are again being made for probation’s future." 

Rob Canton, De Montfort University, Leicester
"This book, based on original ethnographic research of probation in practice, represents an important contribution to literature on what has been a too-often overlooked area of the criminal justice system. The depiction of the challenges of probation practice in the context of significant turmoil following the Transforming Rehabilitation　reforms are powerfully conveyed in this study. This is a must-read book for scholars of probation, criminal justice practice and those interested in how professions are shaped by and respond to government policy."　
Nicola Carr, University of Nottingham and Editor Probation Journal
"The book is an indispensable resource for policy makers and senior managers who are now driving Probation Service towards yet another reform. Researchers, students and practitioners will also get an important insight into the interplay between change and resisting change. To conclude, I would say that the book is a must-have resource for those who want to better understand the probation world at the beginning of the 21st Century."
Ioan Durnescu, University of Bucharest and Co-Editor European Journal of Probation

Although the author's approach is purely logical and philosophical, rather than mathematical, it seems likely that the book would be extremely interesting to mathematicians specializing in logic and the foundations of mathematics. Due to the author's clear and approachable style this book may be interesting to a large circle of logicians, mathematicians and philosophers. Students with a basic understanding of classical, intuitionistic and relevant logic principles
will find this book an invaluable introduction to an area of central importance in logic, philosophy, computer science and, generally, methodology and philosophy of science.

"The great strength of this book is its focus on the spatial rather than the temporal; Shanghai’s urban spaces are brought vividly to life. The book contributes greatly to our understanding of what modernity really meant to the Chinese residents of Shanghai." - Jonathan Howlett: The China Quarterly, December 2011
"Studies of modern Shanghai have disproportionately focused on the city in the early twentieth century, particularly in the Republican era. Liang’s work is a welcome remedy to this obvious imbalance in the field. For its glimpse of life in late nineteenth-century Shanghai and for its rethinking of issues related to city, gender, and modernity, it will be a useful handbook for historians and students of cultural studies." - HANCHAO LU, Georgia Institute of Technology; The Journal of Asian Studies

'The project of founding morality not on changing human needs or wishes but on an immutable and absolute idea of goodness has been central to her thought.' - Mary Warnock, Women Philosophers'The theme is the inadequacy of the account of human nature and value provided by contemporary, academic analytic philosophy. Murdoch's attack is the fruit of a thorough professional involvement with the school of thought to which she is opposed.' - Anthony Quinton, Sunday Telegraph'All three essays which make up this book, The Idea of Perfection, On `God' and `Good', and The Sovereignty of Good over Other Concepts, are superb.' - The Guardian

"Lisa Sanders is a paragon of the modern medical detective storyteller. The tales  here crackle with suspense. But what sets her apart is her Holmes-like eye for the  clues&ndash;and her un-Holmes-like compassion for those who suffer." &mdash;Atul Gawande, author  of Better: A Surgeon&rsquo;s Notes on Performance and Complications: A Surgeon&rsquo;s Notes  on an Imperfect Science  "Dr. Lisa Sanders is the most acute observer of health  care in America. In this compelling book, she opens the black box of diagnosis and  lets us look inside." &mdash;Ian Ayers, author of Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers  Is the New Way to Be Smart "Not &lsquo;whodunit&rsquo; so much as &lsquo;whatdunit,&rsquo; Lisa Sanders&rsquo; s book brilliantly conveys the sleuthing that lies at the heart of medical diagnosis.  But this is more than a set of suspenseful tales unfolded by a skilled storyteller.  Amid all the flash and dazzle of the modern doctor&rsquo;s high-tech armamentarium, Dr.  Sanders finds that all too often it is the ancient skills, of touch and of attentive  listening, that serve the physician, and her patients, best of all. Enlightening  for patients, essential for practitioners, this book should be read by every doctor.  I&rsquo;m praying that mine will." &mdash;Geraldine Brooks, author of March, People of the Book, and Nine Parts of Desire "Lisa Sanders has written a beautiful, thought-provoking  book about the sine qua non of medical care&ndash;diagnosis. She tells stories about great  diagnostic triumphs and explains both the pitfalls and successes of diagnosis.  Her  patient stories captivate the reader as we try to solve the unfolding mystery. Through  these stories we understand and remember the importance of accurate diagnosis." &mdash;Robert  Centor, MedRants.com "Every Patient Tells a Story is a must-read for anyone who  has ever been a patient or is a doctor. Written by a physician I respect and a writer  I love, the book is filled with intriguing diagnostic dilemmas that will draw you  in, and with human stories that will linger in your mind&mdash;and heart&mdash;long after you  are done." &mdash;Pauline W. Chen, author of Final Exam
