'Mackintosh's considerable achievement is to turn what might so easily have become simply anecdote or a display of professional partiality for this of that form, into the subject of a detailed historical analysis, pursued with rigour and architectural understanding.' - Theatre Research International'Thank goodness for this visionary book.  ... if we wish to build playhouses which help provoke the energy, buzz and interaction of good theatre ... this enthralling and truthful book provides a marvelous foundation stone. Read it.  Build on it ... This is also the best book on theatre buildings, I have seen for A Level Theatre Studies, students.' - Mark Howell, Theatre Notebook'Environmental theatre history at its best: analytical, informed, involved.' - Michael Coveney, The Observer (1993 'Books of the Year')'Iain Mackintosh knows things about the mystery of the theatre that nobody else does. And because he writes with charm and passion we can know them, too. This is the best book on how architectural environment affects our work since Peter Brook's - The Empty Space -'Thank goodness for this visionary book. Read it. Build on it.' - Mark Howell, Theatre Notebook'The most informed historian and the most able consultant on the theory and practice of theatre design in Britain ... Mackintosh's book is for all of us, the 'Coles notes' of theatre design ... without question, required reading for anyone engaged in building theatres, but more than that it is simply a jolly good read for all artists concerned with the development of good theatre.' - RADA Magazine

"The book may be valuable to graduate students and researchers interested in a psychometric approach to the study of personality development in children."&#8212;CHOICE"If offers both a guidepost and a milestone toward a better understanding of personality development in all its varieties. This is a book well worth reading, studying, and owning."&#8212;Contemporary Psychology"Centuries of speculation about the childhood precursors of adult personality must now yield to this brilliant and compelling empirical portrait of the developmental antecedent of adult personality structure. This landmark cross-national study of more than 2400 parents' free descriptions provides strong confirmation of the Five-Factor Model of personality. This will be a must read for all interested in the childhood roots of adult personality."&#8212;Paul T. Costa, PhDNational Institute on Aging."This is a treasure trove for anyone interested in child development, personality, or cross-cultural psychology.  The reader will not only gain insights into child rearing practices across cultures, but will also be provoked to thoughtful reflection on the different ways parents in different cultures spontaneously describe their children. Here is indeed a rich feast for thought."&#8212;John Digman, PhDOregon Research Institute"This book has something in it for practically everyone. For personality psychologists and developmentalists, there are useful integrations of the adult personality and childhood temperament literatures using the Five Factor Model framework. For cultural researchers, there is careful attention of the differences and commonalities in parents' depictions of their children in seven countries.  For anyone interested in childhood assessment, there is a glimpse of what is likely to become the best instrument for measuring childhood personality, and there is some special wisdom about studying personality development in African Americans. All in all, a rich set of data, expertly interpreted by an excellent team of international investigators."&#8212;Hill GoldsmithUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison

"Together with our curiosity about the other creatures with which we share the earth, then, there is a second motivation for the studies reported in... Cognitive Ethiology: curiosity about our own past. In studying the minds of other animals, we find clues to the evolution of our own intellect.&#8212;The Sciences"...a particularly well-edited book...[with] an excellent overview and intergration of the issues....an excellent forum for learning about one of the most controversial and exciting issues in animal behavior research."&#8212;Science"This volume has the great merit of presenting the pros and cons of the cognitive approach to ethology. It is highly recommended to all students of animal behavior and more generally to anyone interested in the relationships between humans and other animals."&#8212;Biochemical Systematics"Carolyn Ristau has the merit of having assembled a number of scientists coming from different areas of research, providing the reader with a varied and stimulating view on a fascinating subject.

From the reviews:
Simon Szreter, Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, and Reader in History and Public Policy in the Faculty of History at Cambridge University, author of Fertility, class and gender in Britain 1860-1940 (1996) and of Changing family size in England and Wales 1891-1911: place, class and demography (with E.Garrett, A.Reid and K.Schurer) (2001) 
"The power of religion- culture writ large- is once more back at the top of the international political agenda and so this publication is most timely. Scholarly studies of the historical transformations in fertility during the last two centuries in the west have given rather too little consideration to the religious context. Renzo Derosas and Frans van Poppel are to be congratulated on assembling a talented new generation of international scholars interested in promoting a revived agenda of comparative questions about the historical relationship between reproduction and religion. The contributors combine demographic, historical, sociological and anthropological skills and perspectives. This volume successfully promotes an agenda for research on the complex and diverse historical relationships between fertility, identity, community and religion."
Hugh McLeod is Professor of Church History at the University of Birmingham, former president of the Ecclesiastical History Society and president of CIHEC, the international organisation of historians of Christianity, author of Class and Religion in the late Victorian City, of Piety and Poverty: Working Class Religion in Berlin, London and New York 1870-1914 and of Religion and the People of Western Europe 1789-1989 and of Secularisation in Western Europe 1848-1914, editor of the Taylor & Francis series, Christianity and Society in the Modern World.
"Although most parts of Europe and North America saw a substantial decline in fertility from the later nineteenth century, the extent and pace of decline varied between and within countries. Many observers have seen religion as a major reason for these differences, but the link between religion and levels of fertility has often been explained in a crude and over-generalised way. This collection of case-studies reveals a much more complex and varied picture. Religion was indeed a key factor, but it did not operate in any neatly predictable way. Catholics, Protestants and Jews could each behave very differently according to social and political context. Even within the same city, Catholics of different ethnicities, liberal and conservative Protestants, Jews living in or out of the ghetto, could have different patterns of fertility. Moreover, the ability or even the willingness of religious authorities to enforce their teachings on sexual ethics also varied enormously. The contributors are refreshingly sceptical of the orthodoxies of demographic or religious history and sometimes their detailed local work produces quite unexpected results. These well-researched and lucidly argued papers will provide important reading for all those interested in the religious history of the nineteenth century."&nbsp;
Arland Thornton, Director, Population Studies Center, University of Michigan; and Research Professor, Population Studies Center; Professor, Sociology Department at the same university, author of Reading History Sideways: The Fallacy and Enduring Impact of the Developmental Paradigm on Family Life (University of Chicago Press, 2005). 
"Religion and the Decline of Fertility in the Western World addresses one of the most important issues in the history of the West: the dramatic decline of fertility and the role of religion and secularization in producing it. The editors of the volume—Renzo Derosas and Frans van Poppel—have assembled an outstanding team of historians, geographers, and social scientists to address in one volume this important issue. These scholars have been very industrious and innovative in organizing and analyzing new and rich data sets concerning religious affiliation, religious commitment, and childbearing from individuals and communities across a wide array of settings in the Western world—from Europe to North America to Israel. They provide important new insights into the ways in which religious affiliation and religiosity do and do not influence individual childbearing behavior and community trends—with the nature of those influences varying across and within settings. This is a very valuable new resource for scholars, both established and new, to understand the role of religious institutions in family and demographic behavior and the ways in which those behaviors change across long periods of time."
Massimo Livi-Bacci is Professor of Demography, Faculty of Political Science "Cesare Alfieri", University of Florence, and honorary president of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population. He is the author of A Concise History of World Population (Blackwell), The population of Europe: a history (Blackwell), Population and poverty in the developing world (with Gustavo De Santis; Clarendon), and Population and nutrition: an essay on European demographic history (Cambridge University Press).

"Voluntary control of reproduction has been the most revolutionary change in human behavior of modern times. A group of scholars, armed with modern tools of quantitative analysis, sustained by strong theoretical considerations, untangles the influence of religion teaching and dogmas, religious affiliation, and religiosity, on the decline of fertility in the West in the late XIX and early XX century. Micro analysis and individual data provide the fertile humus of their research. This book shows that being Catholic, Protestant or Jew has shaped behaviors through a variety of specific mechanisms filtered by the social and the institutional setting proper of each individual society. It shows also that modern demographic and social history is able to revive the past in ways unthinkable only a generation ago."
"Although recent work in the field had produced a better understanding of the linkage between family and religion, the role of religion in the historical fertility transition remained obscure. … In adding so handsomely to the evidence and insights available to extend theorizing in this field, the authors and editors of this volume have made an impressive contribution to the literature. It is an essential source for those interested in this intriguing subject and will no doubt add to their number." (John Simons, Population Studies, Vol. 61 (3), 2007)
