From the reviews:“Book correctly identify much of the debate about agricultural trade reform as a dialogue of the deaf. Their response—of commissioning a set of studies and promoting dialogue between respected participants from both sides of the debate and seeking a consensus—has much to commend it. The volume offers many important insights. … well worth reading for scholars interested in the implications of the Doha agenda for the least-developed countries. Much of the book is tightly argued and presents interesting and important analysis.” (William Martin, Economic Development and Cultural Change, Vol. 58 (4), 2010)“Offers a wide-ranging and detailed examination of the issue of agricultural trade liberalisation and its likely impact on least developed countries (LDCs). The book’s content laudably covers a broad range of themes, including analysis of ‘pro-poor’ agricultural reform … . welcomed by those already familiar with the debates as to agricultural liberalisation and the LDCs … . offers insightful analysis of the potential strategies that could be pursued in order to make trade work better for the developing countries currently marginalised in global agricultural markets.” (Mark Langan, Journal of Modern African Studies, Vol. 47 (2), 2009)

From the reviews: 

"Are primates superior? … Comparative Vertebrate Cognition aims to answer this question or at least to consider and draw attention to what we know so far and assess the new research directions that are required so that we can answer the question in the future. … Overall Comparative Vertebrate Cognition is a very enlightening and timely book. It is an interesting and thought-provoking attempt to draw attention to an area that is still in the early stages of its rise to scientific popularity … ." (Lucy Bates, Primate Eye, February, 2006)
"It is high time for primatologists to broaden their horizons in terms of learning about other animals … . the editors provide a brief history of primatology and lay out their motivation for assembling this book. Rogers and Kaplan suggest that primates have been declared to be ‘special’ mainly as a political move … . the book has opened some doors and will certainly promote the exchange of ideas by scholars studying the cognitive abilities of a variety of taxa." (Julia Fischer, Folia Primatologica, Vol. 76 (2), 2006)

Are Primates Superior to Non-Primates?

Comparative Vertebrate Cognition

‘If you are an academic teaching in/through/despite psychology, this book refracts like a fractured mirror and feels like a colonoscopy. If you are an academic who has been betrayed/fired/attacked/exposed by your university because of a radical scholarly project, you will feel heard, seen, archived and in very good company. If you are a student of Psychology, the volume blinks like a beautifully curated, auto-ethnographic yellow light. Beware. The Psychology Stories narrated by Ian Parker – an exquisite and painful auto-ethnography; a careful disciplinary dissection, and a skillful institutional autopsy – unfold crucial counter-narratives about what it means to live a life of willful passions, witness the disciplinary erasures and decadence of Psychology and be consumed by surveillance and the carnivorous appetite of the neo-liberal academy. Read the book. You may not love all parts; you may not agree; you may have a different story of psychology to tell. You will, however, not easily forget the brilliant path Ian has carved through the psy complex and you will most definitely applaud his stunning "walk off" song.’ - Michelle Fine, Professor of Critical Psychology, Urban Education, Gender/Women’s Studies, The Graduate Center, CUNY, US
‘Subjectivity is arguably the "theme" of psychology. Yet, as Ian Parker’s autoethnography shows, mental life is not just intra-subjectivity when sharing personal experiences but also intellectual influences and networks in psychology and related fields. Particular interactions in the context of the academic and cultural-historical developments of Britain since the 1970s and around the world, and academic and activist responses, point to the significance of inter- and socio-subjectivity. We learn about the hyperreality of an academic discipline, to which all critical psychologists can relate, and come to appreciate the sometimes unintended agency that shaped Ian’s project. A daring instructor might use this historically systematic book for educational purposes; one can enjoy reading about persons, times, and locations that have remained either intriguing or influential; or the book can be understood in terms of the author’s attempt to understand the psyche and its nexus to social and institutional struggles since, unsurprisingly, the psychological remains political. Clearly and beautifully written, drawing on an impressive memory, and generous to people who co-constructed shared activities, Ian Parker lays out a stream of reflexivity and interferences that confirms that critical psychology stems as much from necessity as it does from personal experiences that make subjectivity not only societal, but also unique and irreplaceable.’ - Thomas Teo, York University, Canada
‘Parker tells an intriguing, insightful and very personal story about his journey through becoming and being a psychologist – in harsh and cruel times. Its telling is woven-through with an erudite and fascinating account of the creation of ‘critical psychology’, its triumphs, troubles and troubling. This book is intended to set several cats among an awful lot of pigeons, to awesome effect! Its critique of the harms being done by the neoliberal destruction of all that was best in the academy (including the governmental power of pretty well everything that is ‘psi’) – is a compelling call for action. May its impact live long and thoroughly prosper.’ - Wendy Stainton Rogers, Professor Emerita, The Open University, UK
‘This is the story of one of our most prominent critical psychologists whose journey into and eventually out of psychology serves as both lesson and cautionary tale. Ian Parker’s long trajectory through contemporary psychology is a fascinating reminder of the pitfalls and seductions of a discipline that serves still to befuddle and bewitch rather than liberate and deliver us from a narrow individualism. His story is an ultimately hopeful tale of one psychologist’s struggle to make a difference.’ - Hank Stam, Psychology, University of Calgary, Canada

From the reviews:

"This book emphasizes the study of Precambrian paleontology and its implications for investigating extraterrestrial biosignatures. … Largely technical in nature, this fascinating volume … will be of great interest to astrobiologists, planetary astronomers, evolutionary biologists, and paleontologists. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." (D. A. Brass, Choice, Vol. 46 (9), May, 2009)
"In this book, expert scientists from 15 countries present peer-reviewed, stimulating reviews of paleontological and astrobiological studies. The overviews of established and emerging techniques for studying modern and ancient microorganisms on Earth and beyond will be valuable guides to evaluating biosignatures that could be found in the extraterrestrial surface or subsurface within the solar system and beyond. … It is a unique volume among astrobiology monographs in focusing on fossil evidence from the geological record and will be valuable to students and researchers … ."
