“This book is definitely timely with its ambitious goals to fulfill a big gap in the literature. … this book provides a valuable collection of perspectives that demonstrate the complexity and diversity of big data, and open avenues for future research. … This book will be particularly welcome by researchers who are interested in an interdisciplinary approach to big data and have a basic understanding of computer science.” (Mingming Cheng, Information Technology & Tourism, Vol. 17, 2017)

&ldquo;Ever since their stellar collaboration on Buddhism: One Teacher, Many Traditions, the team of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Venerable Thubten Chodron have been bringing us teachings aimed at a modern Western-educated audience. In&nbsp;Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature, they have done it again, wonderfully. This third volume in the Wisdom Publication series The Library of Wisdom and Compassion presents&nbsp;an in-depth examination of the idea of &lsquo;Buddha nature&rsquo; and explores and illustrates how the mind itself serves as both the basis for our suffering and our liberation?. Helpful reflections throughout the text guide our journey. These are truly textbooks tailored for our times.&rdquo;

These are tales across time and cultures, offering diverse women as witnesses to historical times. Contributor Dhonielle Clayton sums up the necessity of such an anthology when she writes, "There are few stories about what nonwhite people endured [during World War II], and I wanted to explore that."

The Radical Element

From the reviews of the second edition:“Even more than 40 years after the publication of the first Russian edition, this monograph is still an excellent source for graduate students and researchers … . It is a great introduction to the subject of stochastic stability. Important concepts … are carefully explained, and many different types of stochastic stability are studied. … valuable reference for researchers -- not only researchers in mathematics, but in fact it should also be useful for engineers and physicists interested in stability of systems subject to random forcing.” (Nicolas Perkowski, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1241, 2012)“This is a comprehensive compendium of results on the stability of stochastic dynamical systems, being the second edition of the English translation of the original Russian work written by a researcher who has made a dominant contribution to the topic. … The bulk of the original text, however, is retained as such. … some of the material here is not often found in standard texts, and this book serves as a valuable source for it.” (Vivek S. Borkar, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2013)

‘This timely and engaging contribution extends the metaphor approach, which has been used to great effect in economics,　law and organizational theory, to the study of professional occupations. The results are extremely insightful as this book, through the visual power of metaphors, casts new light on a series of key debates within the sociology of the professions.’ - Daniel Muzio, Professor Professions and Organization, University of Newcastle, UK
‘Liljegren and Saks are to be congratulated in bringing together a fine edited collection of new and published pieces on the role of metaphors in understanding professions. This novel focus should appeal to those interested in the professions generally and in particular professions such as medicine, education and social work.’ - Professor Jonathan Gabe, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

'The need for this book, for both scholars and students of early modern Europe, cannot be overstated. For many years research has productively aspired to global inclusivity in its understanding of the period’s theater and culture. The distinguished contributors to this book rise to the challenge brilliantly as they open the way for future work. Transnational Mobilities in Early Modern Theater is arguably the most groundbreaking and timely intervention that the field has seen since the cultural materialism of the 1980s.' Bryan Reynolds, Chancellor’s Professor of Drama, University of California, Irvine, USA  'The highly successful research collective Theatre Without Borders has done it again: this remarkable range of essays on early modern theatre demonstrates that research into the drama of Shakespeare, his British as well as his European contemporaries must be interdisciplinary and comparative if it wishes to develop a proper sense of the theatre’s participation in a distinctive mode of cultural mobility.' Ton Hoenselaars, Professor of Early Modern English Literature and Culture, Utrecht University, The Netherlands

Transnational Mobilities in Early Modern Theater

After 25 years teaching instructional design and instructional graphics to students who do not consider themselves creative, but who want and need to exercise creativity in their studies and future work, I welcome this volume as a remarkable new resource. Its genius lies in merging solid theory around creativity with concrete activities tested by hundreds of students in Dr. Hokanson’s own course, all presented in straightforward prose and organized for easy understanding. This book will become a key entry in the reading lists for my graduate design courses.

'There have been a number of books addressing this audience in recent years, all of which have added a valuable perspective in different ways. I think [this] is one of the best, partly because of the excellent range of authors it includes and partly because it constantly challenges and complexifies - teaching is not simple and cannot be made to be. The more I read this book the more I find in it to stimulate and inspire.' - Jan Winter, Mathematics in School

"This is an authoritative and accessible addition to the existing literature on hate crime. It offers timely insights which have relevance for scholars and practitioners across the world, and its reflections on hate crime terminology, policy and practice have much to offer anyone interested in the challenges surrounding effective community engagement and law enforcement." 　

Professor Neil Chakraborti, Department of Criminology, University of Leicester, UK

"This book is a welcome addition to the expanding literature on hate crime. At a time where the importance of effective law enforcement responses to hate has rarely been greater, this book offers valuable insights into the myriad of complexities inherently associated with the policing of hate crime and responding to the needs of diverse communities."

Dr Nathan Hall, Associate Head (Academic) and Postgraduate Programme Area Leader, Institute of Criminal Justice Studies, University of Portsmouth, UK

"Policing Hate Crime: Understanding Communities and Prejudice is an innovative contribution to the literature in the field. Drawing upon a unique research partnership between police and academics, this book entwines current law enforcement responses with key debates on the meaning of hate crime to explore the potential for misunderstandings of hate crime between police and communities. In looking at both sides of the equation, it offers new insight into the dynamics of policing hate crime. Significantly, it does not stop at simply laying bare the problems. It also highlights ways in which these communication difficulties might be overcome."

Professor Barbara Perry, Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada

"In this illuminating book the authors examine an issue at the cutting edge of contemporary social and political debates: the policing of hate crime. Drawing upon the findings from an innovative police-academic research partnership, the authors document the history of the relationships between the police and hate crime victim communities that have often been fractured by poor communication and breakdowns in trust and confidence. Crucially though, the authors also offer constructive organisational and operational policing ideas for how to improve these relationships, making this book an essential read for academics, practitioners and policymakers working in the areas of hate crime and policing."
Professor Jon Garland, Department of Sociology, University of Surrey, UK
