Murder on the Playa

"Patrick Wakely draws on 40 years of experience to examine the range of policy alternatives used by States to intervene in urban housing markets in support of low-income households. This is much needed."
Emma Wragg, International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development
"Wakely uses his unique understanding and vast experience to bring clear and practical solutions to the vexed challenge of housing in developing countries. Whereas most written policies typically benefit a small minority – the middle class and civil servants–Wakely’s approaches empowers the urban poor, both as users and producers of housing. This should be required reading for practitioners and policy makers alike."
William Cobbett, Director, Cities Alliance

"Patrick Wakely’s new book is nothing short of the book that we all need in order to understand both how the huge growth in cities in the developing world is being managed, and how communities on extremely low incomes are getting by; providing their own housing with some public support and progressing their life chances. It is an invaluable guide to both the experience of housing in developing cities and the importance of recognising the potential of informal and semi-formal urban development, combined with a guiding public hand. I hope this book will help many people understand this dynamic process, as it will certainly help me." 
Anne Power, Professor of Social Policy and Head of LSE Housing and Communities, London School of Economics

"This book is an excellent synopsis of fifty year's of practice in the provision of housing in developing countries. Patrick Wakely brings wide and thoughtful experience to this subject. The book focuses on 'the how' housing has actually been created and for whom. It is a needed counterpoint to the declaration of global goals which focus on the 'what'."
Michael Cohen, Professor of International Affairs, The New School, New York

"This book is the perfect one for any data scientist on financial markets. It is well written, with lots of illustrations, examples, pieces of code, tips on the different statistical package available to perform the various algos. This book requires for sure a strong knowledge in quantitative finance and Machine Learning, so it cannot be put in any hands. But for those who are familiar with quantitative finance, this book can be a reference, as Hull's book is as regards to derivatives products. I liked the good and detailed analysis of the different Machine Learning algos, and the different examples used throughout the book. This book is perfect for assets managers having to run backtests and searching for innovative ways to enhance the return of their portfolios. I spent quite a good time reading this manuscript, and I would recommend it." (Frédéric Girod, Union of European Football Associations)

"Erlick is quite persuasive in her contention that the popularity of telenovelas has combined with their mobility to create a quietly subversive force in socially conservative Latin America." -Glenn Garvin, television critic, the Miami Herald, in ReVista, the Harvard Review of Latin America, Winter 2018.

"Especially in academic disciplines like public administration and political science, one frequently hears that there is a huge gap between theory and practice, between what is in the textbook and what happens in the real world. The Public Administration Workbook comes closer to filling that gap than any other book in the field. It offers students the opportunity to deal with real world problems that public administrators are constantly required to address." – Allen Rosenbaum, Florida International University, USA

From the reviews:“As a consultant, I have learned that not only organizations have to be transformed, but also the way people look at them.This is true in business, but also in politics. The new edition of this book gives a sharper vision on a major European effort. It will not change the reality of Europe, but will boost your perception of what’s going on.” - Luc de Brabandere, Vice-President, The Boston Consulting Group“Allocation for schools and education are believed [by most] to be a cost. Stajano proves with cogent analysis that education and knowledge are instead veritable infrastructures for social cohesion and economic productivity. Allocations for school and education are also necessary investments for life and productivity of a nation.” - Tullio De Mauro, former Minister of Education, Italy; Professor of Linguistics, University of Rome “For Europe the magic word is competitiveness. In order to be successful we should invest more in quality, research, education and innovation. This book is an excellent guide about European and global integration and competitiveness. It analyses not only where we stand, but also where should we go and what we should do. It is highly recommendable reading for those who care about the future of Europe.” - Tibor Palankai, Emeritus Professor of Corvinus University of Budapest“Attilio Stajano significantly contributed to shaping the developments of the European research program ‘Esprit’ and its follow-up program ‘Information Society Technologies’. This book reflects his enthusiasm for European collaborative research which he rightly highlights as a success story. It provides a valuable and detailed source of information on IT research funded by the European Union in recent years with the goal of contributing to European competitiveness.” - Dr. Rosalie Zobel, Director, European Commission, Brussels

‘This introduction to the work of one of the most important figures in the history of philosophy is both accessible and reliable. Child's lucid prose demystifies Wittgenstein's main ideas and makes intelligible the key transitions in his thought from early to late. Highly recommended.’ – Michael Potter, University of Cambridge, UK
'A profound and illuminating contribution to the Wittgenstein corpus, combining scholarship and readability. Child’s engagement with various theories and themes in Wittgenstein’s writings, along with his attention to background and historical context, makes this an informative and immensely rewarding book.' – Robert Brice, Loyola University, USA
'A pellucid introduction in both style and structure, pitched at just the right level for higher level undergraduates.' - Andy Hamilton, Durham University, UK

From the reviews:
In terms of explaining the mission itself, Columbia—Final Voyage is unparalleled, and unlikely to be equaled[.]
—Jeff Foust, The Space Review, February 20, 2006
&nbsp;
The research, when combined with interviews with family, colleagues and scientists, results in what may be the most detailed account that will ever be written about what happened in space during the mission.
—John Kelly, Florida Today: Space & Science, February 15, 2006
"Philip Chien in his book Columbia Final Voyage brings a comprehensive, personal, view of the most recent shuttle disaster. … Chien’s review provides plenty of interest … . Included are the experiments, with the identities and expectations of the principal investigators. … In total, he’s produced a warm memorial both for the people and the mission. … the book is an excellent source for someone wanting to relieve this mission or to reflect on the nature of the people involved or on people in general."

From the reviews:

"It is based on material taught by the author … and is very much a textbook, filled with a very large number of worked examples and end-of-chapter exercises, with answers and hints for the latter in the back of the book. … Appropriate references are cited throughout the book. … It would be an excellent text for an applied mathematics course on singular perturbations. Its accessibility and clarity would make it equally valuable to someone not familiar with the subject … ." (Stanley A. Berger, AIAA Journal, Vol. 44 (4), 2006)

Praise for Robert B. Parker&rsquo;s Blood Feud  &ldquo;Lupica, an award-winning sports columnist, author of 40 books, and longtime friend of the late Parker, nails the Sunny Randall character and the Boston criminal milieu that Parker created. The patter is snappy. The criminal honor codes are only understood by the criminals but are dismissed anyway when they interfere with personal enrichment. Even family loyalties come and go. Great stuff, Parker fans. Sunny&rsquo;s back!&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred review)&ldquo;Lupica does justice to the work of MWA Grand Master Robert B. Parker in this splendid continuation of the late author&rsquo;s Sunny Randall series. . . . Lupica hits the sweet spot by balancing Sunny&rsquo;s professional hypercompetence with first-person narration that exposes her fears and self-doubts. Parker fans will look forward to seeing what Lupica does with Sunny in her next outing.&rdquo;&mdash;Publisher&rsquo;s Weekly (starred review)

"Heartfelt admiration and appreciation to Sharon Chaiklin and Hilda Wengrower as they envision and co-create a completely new edited collection together with leading members of the international Dance/Movement Therapy community. The reader is a privileged witness." 　
Joan Chodorow, Ph.D., BC-DMT, author of Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology: The Moving Imagination

"The editors offer a precious and original contribution to the development of new perspectives for DMT in the contemporary world. It is an effective tool to update as a dance therapist and also to dialogue with colleagues from other professions in light of shared scientific acquisitions. New research and applications testify to the vitality of this discipline within different cultures. This book represents an important didactic support for dance movement therapists and a stimulating encounter for other experienced professionals."
