'... a highly readable excellently edited collection and an important contribution to the burgeoning science of ’Shostakovichology’.' Russian Review  'Contemplating Shostakovich: Life, Music and Film, edited by Alexander Ivashkin and Andrew Kirkman, expertly fills gaps in our knowledge of the composer, his times and his music, bringing Western (U.S. and British) and Russian scholars together in a robust collection ... a collection that contains a healthy mix of approaches to research and contains essays that will have value to all interested in the continued study of Shostakovich’s life and his music, and the cultures in which it lives'. DSCH Journal  ’... Contemplating Shostakovich illuminates key works through detailed interpretations rooted in a strong command of the extensive secondary literature’. Philip Ross Bullock, Slavonic and East European Review  'Dealing largely with musical style and compositional method, Contemplating Shostakovich is satisfyingly unified, remaining close to the musical text and "questions of personal and political exegesis". The image of the composer that emerges - one who was a product of Soviet culture rather than a victim of it-is familiar, but the volume nevertheless abounds in new details and insights.' Slavic Review

'Mike Birch has accomplished one of the most qualitatively rigorous studies of media representations of mental health that has ever been attempted. It embraces the perspectives of all major stake-holders, and yields profound and practical insights into mediated constructions of stigma.'  Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Bowling Green State University, USA  'Michael Birch's compelling work questions the mental health of a society, rather than that of those it defines as unhealthy. He demonstrates that modes of representation of mental health in Britain in particular, offer insights into the conventions underlying cultural practices and institutions. Drawing upon examples of ethnographic experiments derived from applied television and theatre practices, Birch shows masterfully that it is within representations as locations of power that "disability" is imagined, enforced, and contested.' Awam Amkpa, New York University, USA and author of Theatre and Postcolonial Desires  'Mike Birch offers an extensive, academically robust and thought provoking analysis of mental health mediation. Historically and contextually situated, it is an excellent critical inquiry into the nature of these powerful and often negative discursive practices. The text would be a valuable resource to many readers, particularly for those interested in mental health, media studies, discourse analysis and policy development.' James Trueman, Anglia Ruskin University, UK  '... offer[s] some provocative thinking and creative research on the effects of media messages on individual identities and public understanding... it rewards persistence and an open mind with alternative ways of thinking, conducting research, and listening to the people most directly affected by media images... Birch literally puts the groups with mental health conditions on center stage, enabling them to re-examine the media samples and act out their own alternatives and commentaries. Their clever and often comedic dramatizations are laden with u

Seven Lives from Mass Observation: Britain in the Late Twentieth Century

What a beautiful book on suffering. Is it incongruous to link beauty with suffering? Paul Marcus writes about our suffering aspects from many viewpoints, turning the fact of suffering around, opening it, bringing out ways it can lift us and we lift ourselves to dimensions of experience our being and soul is hungry for. A book to learn from and practice with. 
Michael Eigen, PhD. Author of Contact with the Depths, Faith and The Sensitive Self. 
Paul Marcus has written a tour de force on the problem of enduring, if not prevailing over, intense personal suffering connected to those domains of everyday experience that ‘really matter’, like love, faith, anxiety/depression, old age, work and professional caregiving. Brilliantly drawing from the great Axial philosophers and religious thinkers, and the Freudian oeuvre, he provides life affirming insights and pragmatic suggestions into the perennial problem of ‘making suffering sufferable.’
