From the reviews:

"This is a very good book. It provides a well organized description of linear genetic programming (LGP). Much material, previously only available in research papers, has been consolidated, reorganized and extended for this book. … This book is primarily for the evolutionary computing researcher … . Post graduate students in genetic programming should read this book … . The book should be in university libraries. Considering the cost of many books these days this one is very well priced for its size and content." (Vic Ciesielski, Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, Vol. 9, 2008)
"This book addresses a subfield of genetic programming, where solutions are represented by a sequence of instructions in an imperative programming language, such as C. Genetic programming is an iterative search algorithm based loosely on the concepts of biological evolution. … Brameier and Banzhaf present a thorough overview that will serve as an excellent resource for graduate students, academics, and practitioners, who choose to work with linear genetic programming." (Steven Gustafson, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (8), August, 2008)

Praise for John D. MacDonald and the Travis McGee novels &#160; &ldquo;The great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller.&rdquo;&mdash;Stephen King &#160; &ldquo;My favorite novelist of all time . . . All I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me. No price could be placed on the enormous pleasure that his books have given me. He captured the mood and the spirit of his times more accurately, more hauntingly, than any &lsquo;literature&rsquo; writer&mdash;yet managed always to tell a thunderingly good, intensely suspenseful tale.&rdquo;&mdash;Dean Koontz &#160; &ldquo;To diggers a thousand years from now, the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen.&rdquo;&mdash;Kurt Vonnegut &#160; &ldquo;A master storyteller, a masterful suspense writer . . . John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all of us in the field. Talk about the best.&rdquo;&mdash;Mary Higgins Clark &#160; &ldquo;A dominant influence on writers crafting the continuing series character . . . I envy the generation of readers just discovering Travis McGee, and count myself among the many readers savoring his adventures again.&rdquo;&mdash;Sue Grafton &#160; &ldquo;One of the great sagas in American fiction.&rdquo;&mdash;Robert B. Parker &#160; &ldquo;Most readers loved MacDonald&rsquo;s work because he told a rip-roaring yarn. I loved it because he was the first modern writer to nail Florida dead-center, to capture all its languid sleaze, racy sense of promise, and breath-grabbing beauty.&rdquo;&mdash;Carl Hiaasen &#160; &ldquo;The consummate pro, a master storyteller and witty observer . . . John D. MacDonald created a staggering quantity of wonderful books, each rich with characterization, suspense, and an almost intoxicating sense of place. The Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author and they retain a remarkable sense of freshness.&rdquo;&mdash;Jonathan Kellerman &#160; &ldquo;What a joy that these timeless and treasured novels are available again.&rdquo;&mdash;Ed McBain &#160; &ldquo;Travis McGee is the last of the great knights-errant: honorable, sensual, skillful, and tough. I can&rsquo;t think of anyone who has replaced him. I can&rsquo;t think of anyone who would dare.&rdquo;&mdash;Donald Westlake &#160; &ldquo;There&rsquo;s only one thing as good as reading a John D. MacDonald novel: reading it again. A writer way ahead of his time, his Travis McGee books are as entertaining, insightful, and suspenseful today as the moment I first read them. He is the all-time master of the American mystery novel.&rdquo;&mdash;John Saul

'Stigma is an occupational hazard for sex workers and their customers throughout the world. They routinely face prejudice, marginalization, and punitive treatment by social institutions, the authorities, and the wider public. This book offers groundbreaking research on key dimensions of stigmatization in various countries, and it also addresses the preconditions for reducing sex work stigma. A major contribution to our understanding of this crucial impediment to the health and safety of those who are involved in sexual commerce.'
Ronald Weitzer, Professor George Washington University, USA
'Questioning the "universalised" nature of "whore stigma", this volume provides insights from sex workers across the globe. From Germany to Japan, Ethiopia to Nevada, what is experienced as stigma in different social and legal practices is scrutinized and further theorised. The book challenges conventional ways of thinking about stigma, making a significant contribution to the literature.'

"...exhaustively researched and superbly produced..."
"...this book will stand for a number of years as the definite statement on the status of research on seagrasses and seagrass ecosystems at the turn of the 21st century."
