'This is an elegantly theorised and engagingly written work which gets to the heart of the question of disconnection. This text is essential reading for internet researchers, students and scholars of social and cultural aspects of new technologies, indeed anyone who has ever wondered about the significance of their choices to connect or to disconnect.' - Alison Adam, Professor of Science, Technology and Society, Sheffield Hallam University, UK

'This insightful book suggests an important corrective to current directions in SNS research. By emphasizing disconnection rather than connection, Light provides a careful look at people's use and non-use of online applications that includes but goes beyond questions of technological determinism and agency. I highly recommend this book to anyone thinking about issues of online communication, social change, or human connections and disconnections more generally.' - Lori Kendall, President of the Association for Internet Research and Associate Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

'Light has developed a highly convincing thesis of "disconnective practice" that is set to challenge the ways in which we currently think about our engagement with social network sites. This book will no doubt become essential reading for anyone interested in studying or teaching social network sites, social media and the internet more broadly.' Sian Lincoln, Senior Lecturer in Media Studies, Liverpool John Moores University, UK

Guide to Successfully Applying the UML offers a tool-independent and process-independent
roadmap for successfully applying the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
The UML is a modeling language for specifying, visualizing, constructing,
and documenting the artifacts of a system-intensive process. It was originally
conceived by Rational Software Corporation and three of the most prominent
methodologists in the information systems and technology industry: Grady
Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson. The language has gained significant
industry support from various organizations via the UML Partners Consortium
and has been submitted to and approved by the Object Management Group as
a standard.This book works in concordance with references to offer a suite
of practical real-world examples to help novice and expert users of the
UML to understand the whole language (holistically and cohesively), including
rules of usage and principles of composition, style guidelines, and a roadmap
for successfully applying the UML. The examples are presented in a "fairly
intuitive/evolutionary" manner that demonstrate the key concepts of the
UML and help readers explore the wide range of uses of the UML.

"This edited book of readings jolts us out of traditional habits of mind about assessment... [The authors] explore a new vision of assessment for the new millennium." Rick Stiggins, Assessment Training Institute, Portland, Oregon "...This is a book not only an assessment interested audience will find useful and informative, but all educators and educational researchers should use it as an updated and rich resource for their work in the field of education." Professor Kari Smith, Oranim Academic College, Israel "Many readers of this book will react to or be challenged by the range and treatment of topics covered, with novel ideas or findings bubbling constantly to the surface. For that reason alone, the volume could be potentially useful as a library acquisition."D. Royce Sadler, Griffith University

From the book reviews:“This is a compendium of methods and protocols in histopathology. … this book would be of interest to histotechnologists, anatomical pathologists (in training or practice), pathologist assistants or anyone interested in the diagnostic process of anatomical pathology. … This is a very useful book to standardize handling of various tissues in an anatomical pathology service.” (Valerie L. Ng, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2014)

"A much-needed, invigorating and provocative insight into an explosive moment in literary and political history: Gardner's close readings of both lesser-known and canonical Romantic poetry shed new light on the plebeian counter-public sphere in one of its most high-profile confrontations with the unreformed Regency state. A very welcome addition to studies of Romantic print culture." Professor Ian Haywood, Roehampton University, UK

"Poetry and Popular Protest is a daring book in which Gardner presents interpretations of individuals and works that sometimes go against the grain of the more commonly accepted Romantic narratives . . . Gardner's accounts are . . . remarkable for their clarity, for their comprehensiveness, and for the original archival research that he brings to bear on the historical narrative. The account of Peterloo in particular is among the best available anywhere. . . . Gardner's study offers a wealth of material for further speculation and further research . . . Indeed, if good scholarship is as much a matter of seeing new, potentially revisionary lines of development in the archival and print record as it is a matter of forwarding a particular thesis, then Poetry and Popular Protest is really exceptional." The European Romantic Review

" . . . lively and engaging . . . a highly enjoyable read with broad appeal and Gardner effectively combines scholarly investigation with a lightness of touch." BARS Bulletin & Review

"Gardner is also concerned to demonstrate that poets do not work in isolation, but write out of their engagement with larger social groups and conversations . . . he recounts their stories well and brings a fresh perspective through his emphasis on the dialogue between 'high' and 'low' culture, canonical and noncanonical writers." Studies in English Literature

"John Gardner's study of the interconnections between poetry and protest continues in the spirit of E. P. Thompson . . . bold . . . engaging and insightful . . . Poetry and Popular Protest builds on work by scholars including Olivia Smith, Marcus Wood, Iain McCalman, and Ian Haywood, but is the first study to concentrate exclusively on these three events. . . . John Gardner relishes in this engaging and insightful account of a brief, but absorbing, chapter in nineteenth-century culture." Notes and Queries

"Scholars of the Regency years will find much to enlighten them here, and in telling detail . . . Gardner's volume thus offers a learned contribution to continuing discussion about the years in which, as he comments, public opinion was governed by the drama played out in the political prints." Times Higher Education

"This thought-provoking and fascinating study of a short moment in British political and literary history brings together writing of every kind from elite poetry to street doggerel. Through analysing all forms of print culture it brilliantly reveals how much was at stake in the years from 1819 to 1821 and how decisive and long-lasting - was the victory of the small ruling elite over the forces of reform." Professor Janet Todd, University of Cambridge, UK

"Gardner's study is a valuable contribution to our understanding of a literary and political period that promises to attract more attention in the future." Romanticism

"This is an impressive and very entertaining book, combining politics, literary criticism, cartoons, sexual and political scandal, and a fascinating slice of social history. It is, moreover, one of the few academic monographs that can be genuinely recommended to the general and non-specialist reader." Stephen Prickett, Review 19

"[E]xcellent, lively, and readable study Gardner helps us towards new perspectives both on specific Romantic writers and on the development of nineteenth-century literature, popular culture and radicalism." Felicity James, The Byron Journal

"Narrowing his study on poetry that responds to three key political events gives Gardner the opportunity to get to the core of a complex intermeshed network of poets, publishers and pamphleteers. He makes insightful and fascinating connections across a spectrum of canonical and non-canonical writers, such as Shelley, Bamford, Byron and Hone." Lucy Hodgetts, The Byron Journal

"...one of the most stimulating and intelligent books yet written about the relationship between poetry and politics in the Romantic period." Year's Work in English Studies

"In shedding welcome light into some murky corners of early nineteenth-century social, political and literary history, this study makes some shocking revelations... this is a valuable addition to the debate on poetry and radicalism in the post waterloo period." R. M. Healey, Charles Lamb Bulletin

'students of Shakespeare will find plenty of food for thought...Hillman's discussion of the cannibalistic fantasies that pervade Hamlet and the extensive heart imagery in King Lear are particularly interesting, and his chapter on Troilus and Cressida is essential reading for anyone tackling this strange but fascinating play. Shakespeare's Entrails is another excellent addition to the Palgrave Shakespeare Studies series.' - J. D. Atkinson, British Theatre Guide

'The scope of Hillman's argument can extend to include appetite, nau­sea, sex, breath, faith and a more general sense of inferiority and exteriority - (o homes and kingdoms). Shakespeare's Entrails brings an essential realm of language into focus, and pro­vides something like a small encyclopedia of viscera on the way.' - Oliver Harris, TLS

"In this field-defining, lucidly written book, Leighton Evans draws an authentic, cutting-edge picture of VR experientiality in contrast with other immersive media and opens our eyes to the changes in immersive opportunities afforded by contemporary consumer VR. He presents us with a thoroughly researched genealogy of VR, identifying the specific media-historical moment that has brought about its re-emergence and blending scholarly rigor with refreshing episodes of personal storytelling. The book compellingly embeds its subject matter in the history of digital media more generally, viewed through a sharp, critical lens that reminds us about the commercial dictates under which our hypermediated selves and our technological extensions operate."
