Jack Manly; His Adventures by Sea and Land

&ldquo;While the author clearly paints the life of an adult with Down syndrome as one hinging on the compassion and understanding of others, he also paints Jamie&rsquo;s experience and immersion into the world as a story of triumph, bravery, independence, and great self-awareness. An inspiring family scrapbook offering hopeful reinforcement for parents in similar situations.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;B&eacute;rub&eacute; succeeds warmly at humanizing his son.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;In brilliantly illuminating prose, Michael B&eacute;rub&eacute;&rsquo;s joyful and heartfelt book about his son, Jamie, describes with grace and passion the humanity that we all share, no matter how many chromosomes we possess.&rdquo;&mdash;Marianne Leone, author of Jesse: A Mother&rsquo;s Story&ldquo;Twenty years after Life as We Know It&mdash;his groundbreaking memoir of raising a son with Down syndrome&mdash;Michael B&eacute;rub&eacute;&rsquo;s Life as Jamie Knows It resumes the story with verve. B&eacute;rub&eacute;&rsquo;s narrative is loving, unsentimental, and sharply funny, and his insights into disability are unmatched. A necessary book.&rdquo;&mdash;George Estreich, author of The Shape of the Eye&ldquo;In this poignant and genuine collaboration between father and son, Michael B&eacute;rub&eacute; draws from Jamie&rsquo;s lived experiences in school, at work, and on the playing field to reflect on the profound philosophical dilemmas surrounding how we measure human worth. Touching and witty without being sentimental, Life as Jamie Knows It should be required family reading.&rdquo;&mdash;Rachel Adams, author of Raising Henry: A Memoir of Motherhood, Disability, and Discovery

"What sets this book aside from the mass of books on operating systems is its focus on a single real-world operating systems, namely Xinu, which is a commercially used, yet lean, clearly designed, modular operating system for embedded, single-core systems. … The book is surprisingly easy to read; essential data structures and algorithms are presented in source code and discussed adequately, allowing for a very good understanding of the entire operating system. … an ideal book for anyone who aims to understand one operating system in detail, in particular for those working with embedded systems."—Zentralblatt MATH 1314
Praise for the First Edition:"Operating System Design: The Xinu Approach is the best book for students and professionals to learn how a computer operating system works. The computer code, along with clear, concise explanations, is simply the best way to learn OS. Readers who study this book carefully will benefit greatly and find it time well spent."—John C. Lin, Bell Labs
"… [the author’s] focused, clear, and thorough writing have given ‘systematic’ a new meaning (or perhaps restored its original one). … non-OS specialists also stand to learn much of what they generally need to know from this excellent book. Furthermore, it is no faint praise for me to say that the book’s seamless integration of source code listings into the text … is the best I’ve encountered and works very well indeed. Superior and consistently followed C-language coding conventions give further evidence of the meticulousness with which this book was written. … a most outstanding and practical A-to-Z OS book. It has my highest recommendation."—George Hacken, Computing Reviews, April 2012
"This Xinu book is the best operating systems book on the market because it removes the black magic and explains how to build an OS from the ground up. It’s not like other books I tried to read — they gave me a headache. I have already started telling friends how great it is."—David Bafumba-Lokilo, École Polytechnique de Montréal
"Understanding an operating system is a very difficult and time-consuming task because it is one of the most complex software systems ever built. Its architecture has multiple layers of software components to manage the underline hardware and provide the system call services to the applications at the top. Knowing the host processor hardware features, the machine languages, compilers, the tool chain, and the procedure calling standard are part of the prerequisites. As a consequence, operating system books can take a black box approach to cover the interface of the system call services and the operating system algorithms in a short time. However students wishing to program an embedded system must learn the details of the implementation. This Xinu book removes the black magic and explains how to build an OS from the ground up. It explains the underlying design policies behind each of the primary components of an operating system kernel and provides the concrete implementation of source code. The Xinu design principles can be found on other commercially available platforms. A device driver on Linux platform is one example. Students majoring in embedded systems are highly recommended to read this book."—Donald D Kim, Information and Communication Engineering Department, Dongguk University, South Korea

From the reviews:

"The essays in this book represent diverse reflections on attempts to ground the aesthetics that operate within mathematical practice and to account for their origins. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates; faculty." (D. V. Feldman, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (11), July, 2007)
“Mathematics and the Aesthetic is a heavy book. I mean this in the literal sense: at 288 pages, it weighs 721 grams. … high-quality paper is matched by a sense of attention to detail throughout. The color pictures are … well presented; the text is easy to read. … Enter Sinclair, Pimm, and Higginson. … assembled a group of scholars with diverse academic credentials: philosophers, math educators, and (yes) research mathematicians. … Mathematics and the Aesthetic is a thoughtful collection of essays … .” (Annalisa Crannell, Notices of the AMS, Vol. 56 (2), February, 2010)

I really enjoyed reading this handbook. In particular, I appreciated the thoughtful compilation of chapters targeted at providing the reader with background knowledge of oculomotor behaviour and the state-of-the-art methodology of eye movement research on the one hand and covering a broad range of current hot topics in eye movement research on the other hand.

"This book is an essential tool for psychotherapists working with dissociative children and adolescents. It’s very practical and helps psychotherapists who are suddenly facing all the challenges of dissociation alone in their practice. It’s also a valuable resource for all clinicians dealing with intergenerational trauma." Anne Suokas-Cunliffe, MPhil, is director of Trauma Center Finland
Praise from the foreword: "Any clinician interested in the treatment of trauma and dissociative disorders will find the collection of cases in Dissociation in Traumatized Children and Adolescents richly rewarding and informative, and those with special interest in the treatment of children and adolescents with dissociative disorders should regard this book as required reading. Dissociation in Traumatized Children and Adolescents belongs on the bookshelf of every clinician who treats or who anticipates treating dissociative children and adolescents, and it should be read by every researcher studying trauma, dissociation, and dissociative disorders in the young." Richard P. Kluft, MD, PhD, is a clinical professor of psychiatry at Temple University School of Medicine and also teaches at the Philadelphia Center of Psychoanalysis 
Praise for the first edition: "This book is a gift to clinicians. The chapters speak to the variability of dissociation in children and adolescents and also to the learning curve that clinicians experience in identifying and treating dissociation. A much-needed and welcome resource!" Christine A. Courtois, PhD, is author of Healing the Incest Wound and coeditor of Treating Complex Traumatic Stress Disorders

"In the literature on psychotherapy, it is a rare author who can motivate us to take up the burden of emotion in a region of experience like eating, where many of us would simply prefer to be unthinkingly happy, but because Charles Stewart does so in a way that makes difficult emotions actually easier to hold, reading his work has the paradoxical effect of actually lightening our load." - John Beebe, From the Foreword.
"I approached this book as a clinical psychologist whose work includes participation in an eating disorders team at a large state hospital in the Western Cape. I have always been struckby the multi-faceted nature of the phenomenology, aetiology and treatment approaches to do with eating disorders, and at times have wondered if I could attain a more consistent, reliable thread through the maze of theories, treatment approaches and different patients' behaviour and histories (which are also not always completely known). So it was with excitement about 'new ideas' and a desire to improve my knowledge that I read Stewart's book. I was pleased with what I found." - Colin Mitchell, Mantis, Volume 24, No. 1, Summer 2012

“The 2nd edition of the Murphy and Hecker book is excellently written with illustrative case vignettes and is even more comprehensive than the original version. The additional chapters about HIPPA and HITECH, home-based therapy, and professional private practice issues make the book a must for all C/MFT training programs and private practitioners.”—Volker Thomas, PhD, LMFT, professor of couple and family therapy, University of Iowa (retired)
“Ethics and Professional Issues in Couple and Family Therapy is full of preventive care and interventions for the couple and family therapists in clinical practice. The distinguished editors and contributors provide pages of practical suggestions and recommendations to maintain best practices. The authors took great care to untangle complex ethical, legal, and technical issues, which makes the book an easy, but informative read for experienced clinicians and CFT students. The culturally diverse case examples illustrate how therapists can avoid common pitfalls inherent in clinical practice and the importance of self-care. This book should be a required reading for students in CFT programs!”—Stephanie Brooks, PhD, LCSW, LMFT, chair, Couple and Family Therapy Department; associate dean, Graduate Health Professions, Drexel University
“This is an indispensable resource on ethical issues in the practice of couple and family therapy. The second edition includes a comprehensive review of new HIPPA and HITECH regulations, and the latest AAMFT code of ethics. Clear and concrete examples are used to drive home major points. I highly recommend this book to any couple and family therapy student, instructor, or licensed provider.”—Andrea K. Wittenborn, PhD, graduate director, associate professor, Human Development and Family Studies, Michigan State University

»Die einflussreichste moralphilosophische Schrift des atlantischen Westens im späten 20. Jahrhundert – Reclam hatte jetzt die schöne Idee, diesen Urtext in einer zweisprachigen, detailliert kommentierten Ausgabe vorzulegen. Die Übersetzung ist nicht nur sprachlich sehr gelungen, sie stellt auch eine Hilfe beim Verständnis des Originaltextes dar, weil sie durch in Klammern gesetzte Wiederaufnahmen von Begriffen syntaktische Bezüge in Rawls’ zuweilen langen, komplex aufgebauten Sätzen verdeutlicht.«

"… a very successful attempt to systematically survey several rapidly evolving research areas in modern econometrics by summarizing a wide range of research papers and condensing them into a relatively short textbook. … an excellent reference. … The book has many good pedagogical features, including well-thought-out introductions to each chapter summarizing its main ideas. The language and exposition are very clear and concise. The book contains many problems that on one hand should enhance the understanding of the material and on the other be very helpful in developing the skills needed by a theoretical econometrician. The book is a good fit for advanced students with good econometrics backgrounds … . I plan to use some of the chapters of this book when I next teach my advanced topics course at the Ph.D. level."—Anna Mikusheva, Journal of the American Statistical Association, September 2013
"This book is a timely introduction to many of the latest techniques for estimation and inference in economic models. … There is sufficient detail, so the concepts and techniques are clearly explained and yet the reader is not overburdened with excessive minutiae. The authors also spend a lot of effort motivating and giving the intuition behind the various techniques involved. … this book is well written and up to date. It would be suitable for graduate students and others looking for an accessible introduction to modern econometric methodology and thinking."—Brendan McCabe, CHANCE, 26.2
"This book provides a valuable addition to the literature by compiling recently developed techniques and the mathematical theory behind such a broad range of statistical approaches. … the book is well written, presents updated developments in the area and is an excellent guide to researchers who are interested in theoretical aspects.

&ldquo;There comes a moment in every novelist&rsquo;s career when she . . . ventures into new territory, breaking free into a marriage of tone and style, of plot and characterization, that&rsquo;s utterly her own.

Taken as a whole, Quindlen&rsquo;s writings represent a generous and moving interrogation of women&rsquo;s experience across the lines of class and race. [Still Life with Bread Crumbs] proves all the more moving because of its light, sophisticated humor. Quindlen&rsquo;s least overtly political novel, it packs perhaps the most serious punch. . . .

&ldquo;Sex Workers Unite&#160;does the invaluable work of showing us what a responsible and effective movement might look like, centering the voices and strategies of sex workers themselves in order to restore our best future to the realm of the possible.&rdquo;&mdash;Feministing&ldquo;[Chateauvert's] portraits of individual activists and advocacy groups are well drawn, proving that humanization through story, not philosophical debates about personhood and privacy, will win this campaign&hellip;&#160;Chateauvert makes a strong case that 'engaging in sexual commerce should not be grounds for disenfranchisement.'&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;The breadth of the material impressively commemorates the movement&rsquo;s decades long struggle.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews"Sex Workers Unite is path-breaking in its claims about the expansive legacy of sex worker activism, and one hopes it will serve as a starting point for an even more expansive&#160;analysis."&mdash;San Francisco Chronicle&ldquo;[T]he book makes important contributions to histories of feminism, lgbtq politics, and social movements and clears a path for further studies of these important topics.&rdquo;&mdash;The Journal of American History&ldquo;The sheer depth and breadth of study evident in the book ensures its usefulness as a resource. But Sex Workers Unite is much more than a collection of facts and figures, however comprehensive. Chateauvert displays a deft hand with subtle ideas.&rdquo;&mdash;Tits and Sass&ldquo;Readers will learn a great deal about contemporary sex workers rights organizing in the United States (and a little bit about Canada) by exploring this book.&rdquo;&mdash;A Kiss for Gabriela&ldquo;Chateauvert&rsquo;s writing is blunt, honest and overwhelmingly liberal. Her dry but positive discussion of sex work and its employees aims to educate the reader. Her mission is to prove that those in the sex work industry are not deviants, addicts or victims. They are people making conscious choices who deserve equal civil rights and legal representation. She wants their stories told, their histories documented, and their allies counted.&rdquo;&mdash;Edge"This is an important book&mdash;not only for understanding the history of the movement but also for debunking myths about sex workers."&mdash;Dr. Joycelyn Elders, former US surgeon general&ldquo;From the movement's beginning with street-walking cop-fighting trans women at Stonewall at Compton's Cafeteria through feminist betrayal and the AIDs crisis all the way to today's sex work activists and artists who make this labor visible, Sex Workers Unite is a fact-driven, street-smart history. This book is crucial.&rdquo;&mdash;Michelle Tea, author of Valencia&ldquo;In this definitive history, Chateauvert recounts the many challenges and successes of the&#160;sex workers&rsquo; rights movement,&#160;and&#160;shows us how much farther we &#160;have to go to guarantee everyone&rsquo;s fundamental rights to sexual privacy and self-determination.&rdquo;&mdash;Anthony D. Romero, executive director, American Civil Liberties Union&ldquo;With a historian&rsquo;s eye for the illuminating detail and the street fighter&rsquo;s passion for her cause, Melinda Chateauvert offers a sassy journey through the worlds of 'Working Girls and Boys,' black, brown, and white, trans, gay, and straight. Against rescuers and abolitionists,&#160;Sex Workers Unite recovers the collective action and labor organizing of sex workers for better conditions, living wages, cultural freedom, and social justice.&rdquo;&mdash;Eileen Boris, Hull Professor of Feminist Studies, University of California Santa Barbara and co-editor of Intimate Labors: Cultures, Technologies, and the Politics of Care
