“The book covers an amazingly wide range of issues in elastoplasticity, and in continuum mechanics in general. It is written in modern notation and easily accessible to readers with a minimal background in continuum mechanics and tensor analysis. … Altogether, the book gives an excellent introduction to the vast area of elastoplasticity and can be recommended not only for beginners in the field, but also for senior scientists interested in alternatives to the classical approach.” (Dieter Weichert, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2019)

"The book will serve as a field-guide for companies who are looking to increase thruput, decrease cost, reduce inventories and leadtimes. Many books I have read have merely touched upon the subject of cellular manufacturing, which on the surface appears to be an easy concept to grasp. However, as any brown field practitioner will tell you, cell implementation is destined for failure or mediocre results without an understanding of the cultural and systemic changes required to enable and sustain the gains. In Reorganizing the Factory, Hyer and Wemmerl&#0246;v have decoded the DNA of cellular manufacturing to ensure maximum results and sustainability."Don Gogan, Plant Manager, Harley-Davidson Motor Company 06/01/04"There is a new book,Reorganizing the Factory ,that makes "Learning to See" and "Value Stream Mapping" dated!  Reorganizing the Factory is a great hands-on book with hardly any fluff! Buy it, read it, and embark on your "lean journey."Shahrukh Irani, Associate Professor, The Ohio State University 06/01/04"This is a must read for organizations who want to use Cellular Manufacturing to gain competitive advantage. In addition to "hard" cell design issues, the book focuses as well on the "soft" side of cells, which we have found to be the largest determinants of the success (or failure) of cells."Michael Wayman, General Manager-Steel Operations, Ingersoll Cutting Tools 06/01/04"Reorganizing the Factory is a great handbook for a manager either just starting to investigate cells or someone experienced with cells and looking to upgrade/enhance. It also addresses the "soft" side of implementing cells as well as the technical and logistical aspects. In addition, Hyer & Wemmerl&#0246;v discuss setting up office cells. Many companies don't realize the large potential benefits of going "cellular" in the office as well as on the manufacturing floor."Ronald Leong, Manager-Global Business Planning, Delphi Automotive Systems 06/01/04"This is a well thought-out book based on years of research on implementation of manufacturing cells. The authors have brought the same level of rigor that they are known for in research circles towards writing this book for the benefit of practitioners. It is well-structured, and addresses all relevant design and implementation issues, as well as potential roadblocks in the application of cells. It clearly belongs on the bookshelf of every manufacturing manager interested in streamlining manufacturing operations and supply chains."Nallan Suresh, Professor, SUNY-Buffalo 06/01/04

Praise for The Book of Longings:&ldquo;I kept having to close this novel and breathe deeply, again and again. A radical re&shy;imagining of the New Testament that reflects on women's longing and silencing and awakening, it is a true masterpiece.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Glennon Doyle, author of&#160;Untamed&ldquo;[Kidd&rsquo;s] painstaking research and artful crafting of setting and character ensures that&#160;The Book of Longings&#160;is not just an extraordinary novel, but one with lasting power . . . [her] brilliance shines through on so many levels, but not the least in her masterful, reverential approach to capturing Jesus of Nazareth as a fully human young man . . . [The Book of Longings] is an epic masterpiece that is a triumph of insight and storytelling.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Associated Press&ldquo;Well-researched and boldly plotted, this masterful novel brings a lovely character to life.&rdquo; &mdash;People&ldquo;Kidd&rsquo;s bold narrative revisionism allows her protagonist to be in every respect the equal of her husband while posing this question: How would Western culture be different if men and women had grown in appreciation of each other&rsquo;s spirit? It&rsquo;s not such a leap&mdash;the gospels portray Jesus gently championing women.&rdquo; &mdash;O, The Oprah Magazine&ldquo;We promise you&rsquo;ve never read anything like this . . . This work of historical fiction gives a feminist retelling to the stories at the heart of Catholicism, yet stays grounded in research and respect. Even after you finish, you&rsquo;ll be thinking about it for days.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;KatieCouric.com &ldquo;[A] book-club-friendly novel . . .&#160;Ana&rsquo;s gentle husband is Jesus of Nazareth. Her cherished big brother is Judas, Jesus&rsquo;s firebrand friend. These guys, so familiar, so human, are the hook that draws us in. What keeps us there, though, is the vividness of the world that Kidd conjures, peopling it with boldface names from the New Testament and freshly invented characters she imagines just as fully &mdash; Ana, our fictional narrator, principal among them.&rdquo; &mdash;The Boston Globe&ldquo;Sue Monk Kidd brings to life a spirited, and spiritually aware, young woman who must come to terms with her own&#160;heartfelt desires and ambitions . . . Other novelists have imagined the human side of Jesus, and some have envisioned him as married. But no other writer has fleshed out a partner who can stand on her own, who is intellectually and spiritually well matched with Jesus . . . Kidd&rsquo;s research into first-century Jewish life, along with her vivid descriptions of the villages and terrain, make Ana&rsquo;s story come alive.&rdquo; &mdash;The Christian Science Monitor &ldquo;For fans of historical novels, particularly [...]&#160;The Red Tent, or, more recently,&#160;Naamah&#160;. . .&#160;Kidd uses her unexpected narrator to reveal new perspectives on an endlessly parsed era.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;Imaginative . . . charts a young woman&rsquo;s struggle to confront the ways in which society dictates what she can and cannot do.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Time&ldquo;A master of literary women&rsquo;s fiction, Kidd always strikes a chord with her strong, feisty female protagonists . . . [The Book of Longings] is written with reverence and strives for historical accuracy . . . it's an engaging story about a young woman defying the odds to make her voice heard, a story that remains relevant today . . . [and] underscore[s] what&rsquo;s lost when one group&mdash;be it one gender, race or religion&mdash;gets to write the history for all.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Atlanta Journal-Constitution&ldquo;Ana is the vehicle through which we experience the ancient caste system of class, male supremacy and the eternal power of seeking revenge . . . We know where this story is heading all along, but never suspect the unexpected routes . . . The Book of Longings makes you think, and isn&rsquo;t that often a leap of faith?&rdquo; &mdash;Star-Tribune&ldquo;A&#160;well-researched novel about a young Jewish woman, who fights against cultural norms to realize the passion and potential inside her.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Good Morning America &ldquo;Sue Monk Kidd skips historians&rsquo; 2,000-year-old &lsquo;Did Jesus marry?&rsquo; debate, imagines he did, and asks, &lsquo;So what would his wife have been like?&rsquo; Inserting Ana into biblical stories,&#160;Kidd crafts a&#160;surprising,&#160;absorbing narrative.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Real Simple&ldquo;The latest from Sue Monk Kidd introduces us to Ana, a courageous, intelligent woman who marries Jesus long before his public ministry begins.&#160;Based on meticulous historical research, this is a humanizing look at Jesus the man, as well as an inspiring story of a strong woman living in a society bent on her silence.&rdquo; &mdash;Good Housekeeping&ldquo;Despite its setting in ancient Judea, this imaginative novel feels downright contemporary, characterized as it is by one strong-willed woman&rsquo;s awakening to the indomitable power of her own spirit.&rdquo; &mdash;Esquire&ldquo;The Book of Longings&#160;demonstrates a welcomed maturity and mastery of historical fiction, even as [Kidd] takes on a retelling of the greatest story ever told . . . she gives nuance and depth to the political realities that made Jesus&rsquo; teachings so provocative, and to the patriarchal systems that make characters like Ana&rsquo;s fabulously fearless aunt Yaltha, her guiding star, so heroic . . .&#160;Let it be said that Kidd, like her main character, is indeed &lsquo;a voice.&rsquo;&rdquo; &mdash;The Post and Courier (Charleston)&ldquo;Brilliant . . . It&rsquo;s the story we all know, but from a new angle, with all the familiar characters brought to vivid life . . . Brava!&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily Mail (London)&#160;&ldquo;The novel&rsquo;s evocation of life in Galilee is fascinating, and clever, rebellious Ana is a memorable character.&rdquo; &mdash;The Times (London)&ldquo;A testament to the author&rsquo;s talent for creating both compelling characters and intriguing story lines . . . Historical details of daily life in the Roman Empire, strong female characters, and richly imagined glimpses into the philosophical communities and libraries in Egypt . . . make this an excellent book club choice . . . Don&rsquo;t shy away from this historical fiction page-turner thinking that it falls into the inspirational genre. The intensity, bravery, and strength of character of Ana . . . will inspire readers but in a different way: to live authentically and remain true to oneself.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Library Journal&#160;&ldquo;The beloved&#160;The Secret Life of Bees&#160;author spins new gold from one of the greatest stories ever told . . . this is a deeply tender story of two outliers who find each other: a very human Jesus full of fire, yearnings and doubts about being the Messiah, and an even more fiery Ana (Jesus calls her &ldquo;Little Thunder"), who refuses the traditional role of women to find her own voice, and promote the voices of all women. Provocative, passionate and extremely moving, this is both a love story for the ages and a portrait of a woman way ahead of her biblical times.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;AARP The Magazine&ldquo;Richly imagined . . .&#160;Ana&rsquo;s ambition and strong sense of justice make her a sympathetic character for modern readers . . .&#160;In addition to providing a woman-centered version of New Testament events, Kidd&rsquo;s novel is also a vibrant portrait of a woman striving to preserve and celebrate women&rsquo;s stories&mdash;her own and countless others.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred)&#160;&ldquo;Kidd&rsquo;s narrative, etched into the emotionally precise and tactile prose of Ana&rsquo;s first-person voice . . . is not an attempt to rewrite history. Instead it&rsquo;s an exploration of a triumphant, fierce spirit and the stories she aches to tell. There&rsquo;s an exuberance to Ana that vibrates off every page, and that is a testament to Kidd&rsquo;s gifts.&rdquo; &mdash;BookPage &#160;&ldquo;If you have been waiting for a book like&#160;The Red Tent&#160;for the past twenty years, this is it.&#160;Give to fans of Anita Diamant and Marilynne Robinson.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Shelf Awareness&ldquo;An engrossing, briskly paced story in an appealing voice . . . the message about the importance of kindness and the power of women&rsquo;s voices should resonate strongly with today&rsquo;s readers.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist&ldquo;[A] novel that imagines the life of an unforgettable woman, written with reverence to the topic it covers. This intricate story is an epic journey, which fans of&#160;The Red Tent&#160;will devour.&rdquo; &mdash;PopSugar

The Book of Longings

"James Davies offers a highly original and insightful approach that restores the vital place of suffering in human development. Drawing from anthropology, philosophy and psychology Davies weaves a rich narrative that deserves to be widely read." - Alistair Ross, Oxford University, UK
"This book, fluently and engagingly written, takes us back a number of decades to the exciting times of Szasz, Laing and others, and the revolutionary assertion that the origin of suffering is due to an unduly oppressive social environment. It asks us to take our leave of the pathologising foundations of most current therapies, and resist complying with that ill-considered theorising... Such a prodding enlivens one's critical stance to what we as therapists do, and places the book next to classics like Philip Rief's The Triumph of the Therapeutic, and Ian Craib's The Importance of Disappointment." - R. D. Hinshelwood, University of Essex, UK
"The Importance of Suffering is a brave and creative work that will change how we think about human suffering. Critiquing the ideology of anesthetization that characterizes modern-day life, Davies demonstrates – with great sensitivity and depth – how suffering can be leveraged for positive growth and change when not exiled from human experience. This is a bold and hopeful book; a major contribution." - Rebecca J. Lester, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, USA
"This book offers a deeply informed and nuanced understanding of the value of suffering, when productively engaged. Elegantly written in crisp prose, it offers an incisive critique of the medicalization of suffering when narrowly conceived as disorder to be treated by anti-depressant medications and prescriptions for "positive thinking". Rich in insights of value to psychoanalysts, philosophers, psychologists, and the broadly educated European and North American public." - Janis H. Jenkins, University of California at San Diego, USA
