"The straightforward title might suggest a straightforward survey of the Farnsworth&rsquo;s collection, but not so&hellip;Collectively, [the books] tell[s] the story of two centuries of Maine art from a variety of angles. The fascinating first chapter isn&rsquo;t much about artwork at all: it&rsquo;s a fresh evaluation &ndash; supported by recently discovered correspondence &ndash; of Lucy Copeland Farnsworth&rsquo;s effort at willing an ambitious art museum into existence in Rockland." &mdash;DownEast.com&#160;"Guided by the museum&rsquo;s mission to celebrate Maine&rsquo;s role in American art, the book features a diverse range of American artists from Marsden Hartley, Winslow Homer, and Georgia O&rsquo;Keeffe to Francesco Clemente, Robert Rauschenberg, and Alex Katz. Through more than 200 images, the story of the Farnsworth Art Museum is told variously through monographic chapters devoted to Jonathan Fisher, the Wyeth family, Louise Nevelson, and Robert Indiana, among others; thematic chapters, including Maine&rsquo;s landscape, its many industries, and important inhabitants; and includes important areas of concentration in the Farnsworth collection, such as watercolors and photography." &mdash;ARTFIXDAILY.COM&#160;"...an expansive 384-page volume devoted to the Farnsworth collection...In it, the rich and full picture of Maine&rsquo;s central role in American art from the early 19th century to the present is chronicled." &mdash;CAMDEN HERALD

"What distinguishes the authors of Sexual Predators: Society, Risk, and the Law from most others is that they are highly respected scientists with expertise on the topic whose combined professional expereince spans decades. This represents one of the very few balanced and unbiased appraoches to this sensitive subject offered by two psychologists and a lawyer, all of whom have impressive credentials... This is an important book on a difficult and emotionally charged topic. It is pitched at a professional level... Overall, the coverage of problems in evaluating sexual predators and providing treatment while protecting society is very balanced, sound, and impartial. I know of no comporable resource that is timely, practical, and dispassionate. It should be required reading for any professional who works with sex offenders. I trust that its recommendations will serve as a foundation for future research and policy in the area." - Richard McAnulty, Univeristy of North Carolina - Charlotte, PsycCritiques
" the authors provide an excellent overview of the development of sexual offender laws, mandated treatment, and the concomitant ethical and legal problems, the development and deployment of tests and measures used to predict recidivism and dangerousness, and some informed ideas about the future.There are many positive features of this book. The explications of the many laws and how far beyond the usual protections of citizenship they extend, and the contexts in which they developed, are truly well done and thought-provoking. The several chapters explaining statistical methods lead to the possibility of truly understanding them, which is necessary to understand the book. Throughout the book, anecdotes and case examples are timely and relevant...This book is not for everyone, but it does an excellent job of explaining current laws and metrics applied to sexual offenders, and it raises troubling questions about their continued incarceration long after their criminal sentences have expired. I learned a great deal." - Lloyd A. Wells, Metapsychology
"In Sexual Predators: Society, Risk and the Law, Robert Prentky, Howard Barbaree, and Eric Janus grapple with the most vexing legal and clinical issues raised by the most panic-inducing kind of criminal. Their theoretically rich and empirically rigorous analysis brings the science of decision making under uncertainty squarely to bear on how we attempt to control those who offend sexually. Both novice and experienced professionals will have an enormous amount to gain from engaging with the authors of this highly original work." John Monahan, PhD, Shannon Distinguished Professor of Law, Psychology, and Psychiatry, University of Virginia
"It is enormously difficult to consider sexual offending in a balanced way. 　In Sexual Predators: 　Society, Risk and the Law, three of the field’s most distinguished scholars have done so. 　Critical but fair, their discussion of relevant law, practice, and research is superb. 　This book should be read by every lawmaker, judge, attorney, and mental health professional involved in the post-sentence commitment of individuals classified as Sexually Violent Predators." Kirk Heilbrun, PhD, Drexel University.

"An impressive tour of the law, science and psychology of civil commitment of sexual offenders. This book is important to all those concerned with reducing the burden of sexual victimization. 　It is essential to those specifically working in civil commitment proceedings. This book will shape discussion for years to come." R. Karl Hanson, PhD, Adjunct Research Professor, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

"This book is absolutely must reading for anyone who cares about how sex offenders are identified and institutionalized. It is a breath of fresh air, and makes clear to the reader how counter-productive all of our policies – ostensibly adopted to protect us – are. It is a tour de force of writing and thought and originality. If only every judge and legislator would read it!" Michael L. Perlin, Esq., Professor Emeritus of Law , New York Law School.
"This is a scholarly, thoughtful, and provocative piece of work, rich in facts and history. I had planned a quick skim, but became rapidly engrossed. Though written from a North American perspective, its arguments and messages are far from parochial, and challenge those who carry out risk assessments in legal settings as well as those who use them. It shines a spotlight on the floor where law and science attempt to dance, clearly depicting how each sways to its own music, but noting that the tune really comes from the orchestra of politics, the media, and public opinion. While the aim is ‘not to question the risk-assessment enterprise, but . . . to improve it as a tool of the law’, it would be an obtuse reader who did not begin to question their own practice, their reliance on a science that is young and uncertain, and their belief that they can ‘get it right’ (or can even be sure of what ‘getting it right’ means). In their preface the authors say, "We appreciate that there are those who will take marked exception to our perspective, and we look forward to constructive dialogue". So do I." Don Grubin, MD, FRCPsych, Professor of Forensic Psychiatry, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, (Hon) Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Found Trust.
"Prentky, Barbaree and Janus provide a unique, comprehensive, data-driven and compelling, yet remarkably even-handed, treatise on the history, public policy, and implementation of sex offender laws. They also offer a clear, rational and ethical　roadmap for the future of sex offender evaluations and their use in the legal system. An invaluable tool for forensic evaluators, this extraordinary book should also be required reading for judges, lawyers, legislators, policymakers and anyone else　concerned about the prevention of sexual offending." Charles Patrick Ewing, JD, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Service Professor Past-President, American Board of Forensic Psychology Editor, Behavioral Sciences and the Law
"Robert Prentky, Howard Barbaree, and Eric Janus offer an essential analysis of the tangled morass of research dedicated to the difficult subject of sex offender recidivism. Against an environment of social panic, In Sexual Predators: Society, Risk and the Law constitutes a sober, interdisciplinary resource for any audience that provides needed perspective on appropriately assessing risk without succumbing to fear." Corey Rayburn Yung, JD, Professor of Law, University of Kansas School of Law 

"Sexual Predators: Society, Risk and the Law is an in-depth, scholarly and pedagogic textbook about the complex relationships between SVP legislation for the preventive detention of high risk sexual offenders and mental health experts’ testimony and risk assessments. 

Written by three outstanding and experienced academics, the book patiently explains North American SVP laws and thoroughly reviews theoretical and empirical work on human decision-making and the theory and practice of recidivism risk assessment. One chapter specifically addresses the heuristics and biases related to assessing risk under uncertain conditions. 

The authors cautiously and convincingly build their cases for changes in legal standards, theory-driven risk assessment, and a developmental model of sexual violence as a problem evolving throughout life. 

Together with practical examples from productive professional careers and illustrative analogies, this is a rich and thought-inspiring text with theoretically and empirically well-grounded advice for clinical practice. 

The book should be greatly interesting and generally useful to advanced students and active professionals in forensic mental health, criminal justice and policy making." Niklas Långström, MD, PhD, Psychiatrist and Professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden and National Scientific Advisor, Swedish Prison and Probation Administration

"In Sexual Predators the authors, three of the top individuals in this field, paint a nuanced, comprehensive picture of the sex offender assessment field. Although their primary focus is on sexually violent predator cases, they explore issues relevant to all sex offender evaluations. The authors provide clear explanations for what could otherwise be daunting topics--for example, the social and legal context of specialized sex offender statutes, the history and current status of sex offender assessment instruments, the role of cognitive heuristics in shaping our decisions, and the mathematical underpinnings of prediction. They propose sensible recommendations for both evaluators and legislators. The reader will be rewarded with an increased depth of understanding of the major controversies in sex offender assessment and management." Philip H. Witt, PhD, ABPP, Past President - American Academy of Forensic Psychology
"The preventive detention of sex offenders is premised on risk of reoffense. 　This ambitious book explains how this risk is presently assessed, identifies systematic limitations, and offers well-supported directions for improvement. 　The book will prove invaluable for researchers, policy-makers, and participants in sex offender civil commitment and violence prediction generally." Fredrick Vars, JD, Associate Professor of Law, The University of Alabama School of Law

Introduction to psychoanalytic understanding psychotherapies

Dan Brockington has written a very welcome book on the promise and limits of celebrity advocacy. Methodologically rigorous, scrupulously reflexive and consistently hard-headed in an area where sentimentality and wishful thinking is all too tempting, this book sets new standards for analysis　and argument for this debate. 
–Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science, UKDan Brockington demonstrates how corporations, politicians and the NGO community have oriented themselves under the aura of celebrity. The bling in this work is original empirical research on how celebrities and NGOs are working in advocating for attention and funding for international development issues in post-democratic politics. 　　
–Lisa Ann Richey, Roskilde University, Denmark
These days we hardly blink when we hear that another film or rock star takes up a new humanitarian cause. But Dan Brockington makes us stop and stare, to see celebrity advocacy as more than just another feature of show-business. This book provides a clear-eyed and penetrating look at how celebrities become involved in development issues, and the effect that they have. The detail of the analysis and the sharpness of the argument make Celebrity Advocacy and International Development a superb work.　　　
–John Street, University of East Anglia, UK

Dan Brockington has written an important book, exploring the convoluted world of celebrity advocacy. He carefully analyses the evidence and exposes the phenomenon; and just when you think Brockington has delivered his measured conclusions, there comes a powerful 'afterword' which no-one should miss and which suddenly transforms the whole topic.
–Michael Billig, Loughborough University, UK
Sharp, clear and fully engaging, this is one of the most comprehensive and insightful accounts of celebrity advocacy that have been written so far. It will no doubt define the field for many years to come.
–Lilie Chouliaraki , London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
Dan Brockington emerges from several years of intelligent, evidenced-based interrogation of the role of celebrities in international development with a genuinely insightful and surprising argument. This book　will profoundly change the way we think about celebrities and development.
–Martin Scott, University of East Anglia, UK
Dan Brockington’s excellent book explores the contradictory effects of celebrity populism on international development. He utilizes post-democratic theory to conceptualize the ‘authenticity’ of the affiliations between celebrity activists, non-governmental organizations and public opinion. This is a major resource for anyone who is concerned with the democratic implications of celebrity advocacy.　
–Mark Wheeler, London Metropolitan University, UK
With Celebrity Advocacy and International Development, Dan Brockington has made a valuable empirical contribution to the growing field considering the mediation of development issues. His book adds critical weight to the debate surrounding the role of a celebrity in the humanitarian and developmental sphere and is delivered in an eminently readable text that is both balanced and insightful.
–Thomas Reid, University of East Anglia,UK

"A 'biblical' tome for captioning--this book will be referenced by those in the captioning industry in the years to come. The industry owes it to Gary Robson. Honestly, without Gary, there is very little out there documenting the development of captioning, from both a historical and technical point of view." Philip W. Braven, ex-President of the National Captioning Institute and former Chairman of the Gallaudet University Board of Trustees

'It’s easy to ignore the many problems faced by older people in some of our remotest rural communities that are doubly disadvantaged by their weak economies. This book fills an important literature void by offering thoughtful examinations of the challenges faced by their older occupants and the leaders of their community settings. Particularly valuable as a commentary on the role played by voluntarism throughout the world and its unequal ability to compensate for the organized services available in these places.'— Professor Stephen Golant, Department of Geography, University of Florida
"Edited by Mark Skinner and Neil Hanlon, this book is a page-turner...Mark Skinner and Neil Hanlon have brought together an interesting and useful selection of work. The collection clearly articulates the issues that are facing ageing resource areas and effectively challenges simplistic notions that older people in resource areas are vulnerable – just because they are older." - Amanda Davies, Curtin University, New Zealand Geographical Society
