From the reviews of the second edition:

"The book literally covers everything you ever wanted to know about the design and technology behind CCDs. Well written and informative, the book is littered with technical diagrams and useful equations for anyone interested in either developing their own CCD device or writing image processing algorithms and plug-ins. Not only that … this is a book that every university undergraduate studying instrumentation should probably have on their bookshelf." (Nick Howes, Astronomy Now, January, 2009)
"McLean … provides an excellent primer for those with a technical interest in these amazing devices. … the book is a compendium of astronomical methods and instrumentation. … McLean’s book … would be an excellent college-level resource. In fact, it should be on the shelf of anyone who wants a firm technical background in astronomical methods and instrumentation. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." (T. D. Oswalt, Choice, Vol. 46 (7), March, 2009)
"This is the second edition of a book whose purpose is to explain the workings of electronic detectors and instruments. … This ambitious book is in part an attempt to provide an overview of just what your strange-looking instrument is doing. … this is an excellent book, packed with information and written in a clear and accessible style which will make it invaluable to any student or supervisor. Highly recommended." (Paul O’Brien, The Observatory, Vol. 129 (1210), June, 2009)

“Fantastical. Hilarious. Neurotic. Pop-cultural. A truly unique look at family history and relationships, as well as one’s inner self, as the author attempts to come to terms with the death of his grandmother. And yes, that’s right - even given those circumstances, it is indeed hilarious, and irreverently so much of the time. But at no point do you feel anything less than love from Italian comics phenomenon Zerocalcare. It’s just that there’s now so many feelings to both block and sift through.” – The Comics Journal

Zerocalcare's Forget My Name

This book is concerned with statistical analysis on the two special manifolds,
the Stiefel manifold and the Grassmann manifold, treated as statistical
sample spaces consisting of matrices. The former is represented by the
set of m x k matrices whose columns are mutually orthogonal k-variate vectors
of unit length, and the latter by the set of m x m orthogonal projection
matrices idempotent of rank k. The observations for the special case k=3D1
are regarded as directed vectors on a unit hypersphere and as axes or lines
undirected, respectively. Statistical analysis on these manifolds is required,
especially for low dimensions in practical applications, in the earth (or
geological) sciences, astronomy, medicine, biology, meteorology, animal
behavior and many other fields. The Grassmann manifold is a rather new
subject treated as a statistical sample space, and the development of statistical
analysis on the manifold must make some contributions to the related sciences.
The reader may already know the usual theory of multivariate analysis on
the real Euclidean space and intend to deeper or broaden the research area
to statistics on special manifolds, which is not treated in general textbooks
of multivariate analysis. The author rather concentrates on the topics
to which a considerable amount of personal effort has been devoted. Starting
with fundamental material of the special manifolds and some knowledge in
multivariate analysis, the book discusses population distributions (especially
the matrix Langevin distributions that are used for the most of the statistical
analyses in this book), decompositions of the special manifolds, sampling
distributions, and statistical inference on the parameters (estimation
and tests for hypotheses). Asymptotic theory in sampling distributions
and statistical inference is developed for large sample size, for large
concentration and for high dimension.

From the reviews:

"This book, part of the ‘Springer Series on Environmental Management,’ is based on a 2004 symposium of the same name. Desbonnet and Costa-Pierce … bring together all aspects of ecosystem-based management practices to improve environmental quality. … contains clear tables and figures that help to illustrate points in the text. … The book contains many references related to the field site and to best practices in ecosystem management; it will be especially valuable … . Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (M. E. Lenczewski, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), August, 2008)

‘What is most impressive is the breadth of topic and the attention to the literature base, supported by reference to web-based sources. For these reasons, it should, as the editors indicate in the introduction, become a core text for a variety of readers, qualifying students taking specialist mental health modules, mental health social workers and policy makers. I feel that the book will also be accessible to other professionals in the field.’ – British Journal of Social Work

‘The editors have done something important for social work by offering a volume—one they hope is both textbook and reference book—that rejects the bifurcation of dialogue around the mental health struggles our clients face and the most recalcitrant social problems that serve as the backdrop and context to their lives and ours’ – Journal of Teaching in Social Work

‘This book would be an excellent text for social work graduate students, as well as students from other disciplines, as it balances out the medical model to which many students are exposed in their internships and society as a whole…[it] is a strong example of how the perspective of social work is critical in expanding the frame of assessment and treatment in mental health and clinical practice to include the social and contextual issues that are inextricable from the struggles that our clients face.’ – Clinical Social Work Journal

'It's stimulating stuff: more of a guide to reflection, perhaps, than to action, but encouraging none the less as a counterblast to the control-and-command mentality that characterises most education policy and practice today.' - Michael Duffy, TES
'This book is a valuable addition to the professional libraries of school administrators, both aspiring and seated, as well as for faculty engaged in rethinking the preparation of new leaders for new schools.' - Kristina A. Hesbol, Teachers College Record
'Brooke-Smith indicates that we cannot overlook the anxiety involved in the change process, and instead suggests ways ro actively address it...The book would make a good addition to many Educational Administration preparation courses, but is an especially good fit for an Organizational Dynamics course. It is also a good book to spur seasoned administrators to consider fresh ways of reviewing their environments prior to instituting any type of change efforts.' - Susan M. Perlis, www.lib.msu.edu

From the reviews:

"The book is edited by one of the leading experts in the field … and provides an up-to-date collection of 40 reviews written by 80 established researchers from 13 countries. … This ensures that the volume is not only a rich source of information for advanced researchers … but also a valuable introduction for graduate students. … In conclusion, everybody who works with PSI or plans to do so in the near future should have the book on his or her desk." (Frank Müh, Jan Kern and Athina Zouni, Angewandte Chemie, Vol. 46 (30), 2007)
"The volume is divided into 11 sections spanning a total of 40 chapters authored by about 80 researchers. … This book is a valuable addition to the literature on photosynthesis in general … . it is a useful volume not only for researchers and Ph D students, but for teachers of biology, bio-chemistry and biophysics. I strongly recommend this book to all universities and research institutions that work on plant biology. Govindjee and Golbeck deserve to be complimented for bringing out such a valuable volume." (Prafullachandra Vishnu Sane, Current Science, Issue 2007 c)
"The huge amounts of pages show that all aspects of the photosystems are analysed in detail. … this one deserves to be on bookshelves of every laboratory interested in photosynthesis research. Those who will buy the electronic version will find references to the source articles." (Z. Šesták, Photosynthetica, Vol. 45 (4), December, 2007)

"Bandarage's book broadens the discourse on the separatist conflict in Sri Lanka by moving beyond the familiar bipolar Sinhala versus Tamil ethnic antagonism to show how the form and content of ethnicity are shaped by historical social forces. Her multipolar analysis takes into account diverse ethnic groups, intraethnic, social class, caste and other variables at the local, regional and international levels." - Georgetown University, 2008
"Prof. Asoka Bandarage's latest book, The Separatist Conflict in Sri Lanka, Terrorism ethnicity, political economy, comes into this enclosed space like a breath of fresh air, easing the suffocation inside the closed ideological box. [...] It opens up vistas that were never considered valid for analyzing the Sri Lankan conflict. In this respect her book not only breaks new ground but also presents a panoramic view of the conflict."- H. L. D. Mahindapala; The Sri Lankan Guardian, January 2009
"It is an indispensable book for future studies and peace-making in Sri Lanka." - Daily Mirror, Sri Lankan morning daily; January 2009
"This book is a must-read for students, academics, and all others hoping to gain some understanding of the ethnic civil war beyond the 'iron law of ethnicity'." - A.R.M. Imtiyaz, Asia Policy, July 2009
"This is a gripping and valuable account of Sri Lanka’s descent into civil war, the consequences of which are still being played out...an excellent and highly recommended analysis of one of South Asia’s most intractable political and ethnic dilemmas." - Bruce Matthews, Pacific Affairs: Volume 83, No. 1 – March 2010
"Contrary to conventional wisdom, Bandarage argues that the conflict in Sri Lanka is not an 'ethnic' conflict at all, but actually is the outcome of economic contention and global pressures. To this end, Bandarage expands the focus of the conflict from a singular domestic perspective and adds both the regional and international contexts to her analysis." - Simanti Lahiri, The Journal of Asian Studies: Volume 69, No. 2 – May 2010
