'... a groundbreaking and fascinating globalization of just war thinking by way of detailed consideration of Asian and Islamic perspectives. This inter-civilizational exploration should become essential reading for all those seeking to extend the rule of law to war in the 21st century beyond its Western origins.' Richard Falk, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA  'A unique and valuable collection of essays assessing Just War Theory in different historic periods and cultures, East and West. Especially relevant are the sections analyzing the values and assumptions of just war theorists in those non-western areas which today constitute the centers of military operations. Both seasoned professionals and those simply curious as to past and present efforts to find the goals and limits of warfare will benefit from this exhaustive study.' Michael Boll, San Jose State University, USA   'The inherent value of this text is the collation of perspectives beyond western societies and documenting the influences of culture on the moral constructs of just war theory, noting that neither are mutually exclusive... this book is recommended.' Australian Defence Journal  'With the rise of Asia, and conflict with, and within, parts of the Islamic world constituting enduring themes in contemporary international politics, a better understanding of non-Western perspectives on the use of military force is long overdue. The great value of the book is that it will appeal not only to just war scholars or to those of international law or ethics, but also more broadly, including to scholars of strategic studies, military history, political philosophy, cultural studies and sociology, international relations, and relevant area and country studies.'  Political Studies Review  'Howard Hensel’s The Prism of Just War aims to prise the just war tradition open to new angles and ideas...

The Prism of Just War

“What a gift! King has written a superb and highly practical book for working with children, their parents, and helping systems professionals. Her book is packed with a plethora of creative and effective interventions, great case examples, and clinical pearls of wisdom. What is particularly noteworthy is King's strengths-based and respectful handling of children who have experienced trauma, which taps into their resilience and empowers them to author new and preferred solution-determined stories for themselves. Whether you are a seasoned or new therapist, this book will make your clinical work with children much more enjoyable and optimize their treatment success.”—Matthew D. Selekman, MSW, LCSW, director, Partners for Collaborative Solutions, Evanston, IL
“Tools for Effective Therapy with Children and Families is a wise, thoughtful, beautifully written integration of solution-focused therapy and play therapy that belongs on the book shelf of everyone who works with kids and families! Pamela King offers a generous and inspiring array of clearly described, highly effective therapeutic strategies that readers will be able to immediately utilize in their everyday work.”—Yvonne Dolan, director emeritus, The Institute for Solution-Focused Therapy, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin
“Pam King delivers a cornucopia of practical ideas that can be lifted direct from the page. Her style is full of humour and personal touches, with real-life examples that have us feeling we’re in the same room, watching a skilled clinician at work. She draws upon the wide range of solution-focused and strength-based strategies and shows her gift for drawing on children’s own unique imaginations to develop playful and creative methods.”—Harvey Ratner, co-author, Solution Focused Brief Therapy: 100 Key Points and Techniques and Brief Coaching with Children and Young People; co-founder of BRIEF (UK)
“Tools for Effective Therapy with Children and Families is an important contribution to SFBT practice with children and their families. Pam King (with more than twenty years of therapy experience that shows through on every page) creatively blends the principles and skills of play therapy with SFBT practice. She offers detailed descriptions of play-therapy techniques integrated into rich dialogues of solution building that concretely illustrate every aspect of conducting SFBT sessions. The book is packed with case situations including childhood behavior, school, and trauma concerns. I anticipate readers will be inspired and well equipped to carry King’s blend of skills into their own competency-based practice with children and families.”—Peter De Jong, PhD, MSW, solution-focused therapist, trainer, and consultant; co-author with Insoo Kim Berg, Interviewing for Solutions; emeritus professor, Sociology and Social Work, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI
"The book offers step-by-step examples for play therapy interventions from a very respectful, client-centered, child-focused approach. The clear writing, enriched by personal, playful touches helps the case examples come to life for readers, who can then use them in their own practices... This is a needed addition to the literature on play therapy, especially from a solution-focused brief therapy perspective." - Ileana Ungureanu, Doody's

Though this is an adoption book, the focus of the book is not always on the child’s homecoming; at times it is about how much she is loved and what her childhood experiences are, illustrating that an adoption is an event that happens, not an ongoing process.

A tender, beautifully illustrated picture book depicting adoption as a way to grow a family. ~Kirkus

'Over the years Professor Nicolas Wyatt, whose translation of the Ugaritic literary and religious documents is now a standard textbook, has been exploring the ancient near eastern mythological background to biblical traditions, particularly in respect of kingship.  The present collection offers a sure guide through these ancient texts, often providing a new and refreshing slant while making them intelligible to the modern reader.' W.G.E. Watson, Department of Religious Studies, University of Newcastle upon Tyne  'The author, who often suggests - and risks - new interpretations, is to be congratulated on this useful and stimulating collection.'

'"The Politics of Dialogue" is both sharp and lyrical. On the one hand, Ranabir Samaddar puts a dagger in the heart of strategic studies; on the other, he provides a compelling poetics of peace, in the form of an eloquently articulated program for dialogic justice. His investigation of  war, peace, and democracy is intelligent, nuanced, and - above all - politically astute.' Professor Michael Shapiro, University of Hawaii, USA.   'Ranabir Samaddar's new book is an extraordinary attempt at displacing the objects, the viewpoint, and the agenda of democratic politics in the "globalized" world ... His elaborated proposal to replace the easy "friend vs foe" dialectic by the difficult enterprise of mutual recognition and restorative justice has a philosophical relevance that should be recognized universally and help us resist the self-fulfilling prophecy of the "clash of civilizations".' Professor Etienne Balibar, University of Nanterre, France, and University of California, Irvine, USA

“The author developed a well-organized volume, and her focus and approach are presented in accessible form in this field. I believe that the author’s ideas are new and unique in the sense described as follows. 1. She beautifully describes distinctive features in the relationship of twins for each developmental stage. 2. She illustrates emotional conflict in the twin-ship which are organized around shared ego boundary and closeness (and distance). 3. She describes why and in what sense non-twins could not easily understand the delicate emotional balance between twins. 4. She demonstrates the key issues to be addressed by mental health professionals who see a twin patient.”— Koichi Togashi, PhD, LP, professor, Konan University, Kobe, Japan 
“Are you a twin? Have you met a twin? Yes? No? Either way, you need to read Twin Dilemmas. It gives the best evidence based description of issues and applied suggestions for positive communication you can find. The book offers an example of systematic qualitative research based in identity types and transaction patterns. Written with clarity and accuracy, we experience “the world around the lives of twins” and learn from it. We get to look through the window and see the dilemmas lived by twins—and ourselves! This is a basic reference book for human science research and teaching.”—Richard L. Lanigan, PhD, executive director and Fellow, International Communicology Institute, Washington, DC, USA; university distinguished scholar, professor of communicology (Emeritus), School of Communication, Southern Illinois University; Senior Fulbright Fellow (China 1996, Canada 2007); Fellow of the International Academy for InterculturalResearch; Fellow, Polish Academy of Science (Philology).
“Dr. Klein's focus on employing intersubjectivity theory is timely and practical, and her unique expertise will add depth to her discussions…”—Stu Wolman, MD, board certified in pediatrics and child and adult psychiatry; private practice; training and supervising analyst, Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles. 
“It is psychologically hard living as a twin within the non-twin world. Twins facing a wide range of psychological challenges, ranging from depression, loneliness, anxiety, confusion, and disappointment, or those simply seeking greater understanding, will find huge value in Dr Klein’s Twin Dilemmas. The culmination of 35 years of professional endeavor, this work continues the amazing expert service she delivers to twins worldwide – that of providing insight into what it means to be a twin.”—Dr. Stephen Hart, MA FRHistS, Department of War Studies, The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK
“A twin’s relationships are forever complicated. Barbara’s gifted mind combines poignant twin narratives with counseling insights, forming vivid depictions of the certain but changing struggles twins face over a lifetime. Twins/Multiples are rising in number, yet this deepest of human connections is still misguided by ill-equipped parents and support specialists, causing paralyzing outcomes. Twins will be grateful beneficiaries of ditching the cultural cuteness obsession for twins and assuming genuine responsibility for each twin’s uniqueness.”—Lynn Kraus Boberg, BA in psychology and K-8 education; an identical twin
“Non-twins have no clue! The energy and complexity of the twin relationship is very different from usual sibling relationships. This book will be tremendously helpful for parents of twins who seek to nurture and understand their children. Easily accessible and well organized—there are new insights at every page turn.”—Louise Thomson, MBChB FRACP, physician; mother of girl-boy twins

"… this book's utility is as a condensed summary of likely avenues of interest for people working with the described plants, or an engaging read that could lead to research inspirations. It may also fulfill its mission of encouraging use of a wider range of culinary ingredients."—Susanne Masters, University of Kent, in Economic Botany, 2013
"The book is certainly a pleasure to read. It is filled with colorful cultural references and fascinating facts about the plants and their products. I laughed out loud when I read the descriptions of the flavor of durian, "…French custard passed through a sewer pipe." The book would be welcome on the shelf in reading rooms of botanic gardens, garden clubs and culinary groups. Plant descriptions are not comprehensive in a botanical sense, but the text would be suitable to courses in economic botany, human culture and agriculture."—Eric La Fountaine, Accessions Technician, UBC Botanical Garden in The Canadian Botanical Association Bulletin, September/Septembre 2014.

'Modern politics has been shaped both by specific understandings of the temporality of human existence and by enormous forces demanding either amnesia about temporality or its translation into overbearing narratives of a linear history. The consequences can be read through our prevailing accounts of sovereign states, international relations, modernization, development, citizenship and the status of humanity as such. While still resilient, these accounts are being challenged at every turn. Shaped especially by postcolonial critiques of international relations, this remarkable and provocative collection of essays reports from many sites at which the politics of temporality and the temporalities of novel forms of politics press against the waning authority of all spatialized categories.' - R. B. J. Walker, University of Victoria, Canada
'An exceptional assemblage of essays written by an impressive array of critical theorists, artists and poets. The contributors lay down a powerful intellectual challenge aimed at disrupting dominant theorizations in IR, to "unhinge time from its presumed neutrality", and provoke engagement with the temporal structure of the relationship of politics and violence. The authors expand the anticolonial and postcolonial critique of the project of Modernity and the West or Global North as the primary temporal analytical site against which all else is to be measured or interpreted. The book provokes its readers to transform assumptions and re-imagine possibilities of an anti-racist and de-colonial vision of world politics, focused on "the politics of life" and immanent transformations of social relations.' - Barry Gills, University of Helsinki, Finland
'Time, Temporality, and Violence in International Relations: (De)Fatalizing the Present, Forging Radical Alternatives is obligatory reading for anyone interested in understanding how space and time constitutes the unyielding forms (sovereignty, the state, etc.) that are the staple of research in International Relations. Exploring time’s transformative promises, the texts assembled in this volume dare to unsettle the spatializing political categories of world politics, which hide how and why colonial and racial violence have constituted the global present.' - Denise Ferreira da Silva, Queen Mary University of London, UK
'Refusing to cede time to colonial and neo-liberal tempos and chronologies, Agathangelou and Killian bring together an accomplished range of authors who rethink the past, present and fate of international relations in stunningly diverse ways.' - Robbie Shilliam, Queen Mary University of London, UK

From the reviews: "Sakoda's book is a very good theoretical introduction to PBGs [photonic bandgaps]. The writing style is exceedingly clear and the mathematical formulas are carefully explained. The straightforward presentation makes it a good choice for students, Ph.D. candidates and researchers who want to tackle the topic ... I enthusiastically recommend the book to students and researchers working in the areas of solid-state and optoelectronic devices. It would be an extremely worthwhile acquisition for any university library."-OPTICS & PHOTONICS NEWS From the reviews of the second edition:"This is the first comprehensive textbook on the optical properties of photonic crystals. … Important recent developments such as the enhancement of stimulated emission, second harmonic generation … are also treated in detail and made understandable. … This book provides both an introduction for graduate and undergraduate students and also key information for researchers in this field." (Zeitschrift für Kristallographie, Issue: 9-10, 2005)"This is the first comprehensive textbook on the optical properties of photonic crystals. It deals not only with the properties of the radiation modes inside the crystals but also with their peculiar optical response to external fields. A general theory of linear and nonlinear optical response is developed in a clear and detailed fashion using Green’s function method. ... This book provides both an excellent introduction for graduate and undergraduate students and also key information for researchers in this field." (Ralf Mayer, Optik, Vol. 117 (7), 2006)"The author K. Sakoda is professor at the Nanomaterials laboratory at the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan. He wrote a second edition three years after the first on the study of photonic crystals, including a new chapter on superfluorescence. The key point is that the fundamental interaction betweenthe radiation field and matter is now controllable using photonic crystals, an invention which combines optical physics and recent microfabrication techniques. … is well accessible to undergraduate students in physics, optics, electronics or engineering."
