"...provides a useful overview of issues and recent work in the field, introducing some worthwhile British and European work that may be unfamiliar to American readers. The editors have preserved the complexity of a set of challenging and important research questions."&#8212;Contemporary Psychology"I recommend the volume as a thought-provoking and well-informed source of knowledge about comprehension failure during reading....After reading this book, I still find reading comprehension a fascinating and somewhat obscure topic that defies even the best in the field."&#8212;European Journal of Cognitive Psychology"The...coherence of this book is due to excellent editing, a very good introduction and the fact that the contributors are engaged in a dialogue rather than an argument....This is an important theoretical book and deserves to be in the libraries of teaching, speech and language therapy, and EP services."&#8212;Child Language Teaching and Therapy

This book is an outstanding statement, at the cutting edge of debates, on hegemony and resistance in Latin American and international studies that makes a number of innovative and original developments, not least in coining the term New Latin Left to grapple with geopolitical issues in Latin America and in focusing on the "reconstitution" of hegemony in the Americas. - Adam David Morton, University of Sydney 



Though an early-2000s wave of elected leftist leaders challenged U.S. preeminence in Latin America, Rubrick Biegon explains, this preeminence—or "hegemony"—proved stable. This sweeping survey views 21st century U.S.-Latin American relations through lenses of trade, security policy, bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, and analysis of U.S. discourse, backing it up with innumerable examples from U.S. officials’ own words. Employing a thoughtfully constructed and richly layered theoretical framework, this book gives us important new tools with which to make sense of recent developments in hemispheric affairs. - Adam Isacson, Senior Associate for Defense Oversight, Washington Office on Latin America

With its consistent editorial style, detailed presentation of new airway equipment, and excellent detail on the pediatric airway, this book upholds these high standards.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2011)“The fourth edition of Principles of Airway Management is a comprehensive text of all aspects of the modern-day practice. Each author has written 5 chapters, which results in a consistent presentation. The text is logically organized … . Principles of Airway Management is a wonderful contribution to the specialty of airway management and will have great appeal for anesthesiologists and other medical and paramedical personnel interested in the field and involved in the practice of modern airway management.” (Martin H. Dauber, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 305 (20), May, 2011)“The fourth edition of this book has changed greatly from the first edition published in 1988. … The three authors have each written five chapters. … serve as a useful reference for day-to-day practice, as well as a revision tool for trainees. … Overall, this book is an in-depth review of airway equipment, strategies and novel approaches. It is well written with excellent diagrams and commentary … . the book is valuable to anaesthetists and those with an interest in airway management throughout the world.” (M. Daunt, Anaesthesia, Vol. 66, 2011)“For this fourth edition … each chapter was revised, updated and expanded. … The figures are improved by the addition of colour, and many illustrations have been added. … This book is written well, richly illustrated, thoroughly referenced and easy to read. The authors give clear, evidence-based reasoning for their recommendations. Lists, boxes, tables, flow charts and illustrations are used effectively. … This concise and comprehensive review will be useful for all medical and paramedical health-care professionals who have to manage the airway.” (Rajkumar Rajendram and Riaz Khan, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol. 73 (2), February, 2012)“The fourth edition … is a comprehensive work covering virtually all aspects of the adult and pediatric airway that any professional can hope to learn from a textbook. … well-written. … up-to-date. …Novices and experts alike will gain insight into airway management by consulting this book. ... The book trikes the right balance between theoretical and technical information. …The authors offer the greatest extent of practical ‘how to’ information in a textbook, notably because of the numerous figures.” (Arnaud Robitaille, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, Vol. 59, July, 2012)

"Management is taught as a discipline, which can be applied in any organization, including those in which the employees are highly skilled and highly trained. In this context the ‘in-experienced’ manager’s tendency is to conceal his ignorance or to assume she has all the answers. This ethnography illustrates this all too frequent behavior but also shows how this difficult situation can be managed with ethics and aplomb. While the context of this study is a Kibbutz in Israel, the situation applies around the world in many different types of organization, from universities, to Information Technology, to health care and professional service firms like lawyers and accountants. This book is a must read for any Human Resources Manager filling such a position or any Manager taking up such a role and perhaps even more importantly, for any Professional managed by someone without your professional expertise." –Roxanne Zolin, Queensland University of Technology, Australia

I would highly recommend Particle Technology and Applications for both the academic and industrial environments. The distinguished list of authors from academia and industry provide thought-provoking insights in the field of particle science and technology as well as good direction for additional areas of investigation for many years to come.—J. David Tucker, The Kimberly-Clark Corporation
"… covers a very broad topic in an organized way, provides novel and creative examples in very different fields addressing several aspects of the particle technology. It contains topics that are high in demand by industry and academia such as methanol synthesis, coal gasification, biodiesel generation from algae, nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and particle coating for drug delivery systems."—Mahin Shahlari, Northern Technologies International Corporation, Minnesota, USA

"This book collates the work of fifty able researchers and should appeal to all studying high temperature materials and applications at the highest level."––Peter C. Gasson, CEng, MIMechE, FRAeS, from The Aeronautical Journal, September 2014
"The book addresses a wide variety of topics, spanning from synthesis of materials for high temperature applications, to characterization, application and challenges. In that aspect, it offers in one volume reference material for now and the future. … a valuable book to have."––Yiannis Pontikes, KU Leuven, Belgium
"The main strengths of the book are those chapters written by clear experts in the field, for example, Navrotsky (High Temperature Chemistry and Thermodynamics) and Smialek and Jacobson (Oxidation of High-Temperature Aerospace Materials). ...This book covers an interesting mix of high temperature materials and high temperature devices that would be useful to engineer designing and fabricating equipment or facilities for high temperature applications. I am not aware of any other books with this particular mix of materials/devices for high temperature application."––Elizabeth Opila, University of Virginia, Charlottesville

High Temperature Materials and Mechanisms

"The book is written in an easy-to-read style without frills. The style is typical of Prof. Nakai, namely correct, concise and complete. The line drawings and photos are well proportionated and reproduced with high quality. The access to the stuff is made easy by embarking on the 1D relationship at the beginning of the book, which makes it an excellent text-book for graduate students. However, the book is also highly recommended to experts who wish to brush up their knowledge in constitutive modeling. I enjoyed reading this book for my review and was rewarded with surprising goodies here and there. There are many details to be discovered."—Acta Geotechnica, 2013
