From the reviews: “QDFT II possesses an even greater expansiveness and richness of explanation that many readers will find very agreeable. … This book could serve two readerships. One would clearly be serious students and practitioners of density functional theories because QDFT II is replete with fresh ideas … . The other type of readership could very well be beginning students of the subject. … I recommended this volume to anyone with interests in or curiosities about density functional theories.” (Steven M. Valone, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 132 (32), 2010)

From the reviews:

“This book is one of the first to address the role of nanocomposites in dielectric insulation. … used as a guide for continuing research on one’s own. The up-to-date references at the end of each chapter allow one to continue researching topics for more details. … This book would be an excellent choice for researchers or academics working in or interested in learning more about nanocomposites and how they apply to electrical insulation, which may someday soon lead to new materials and applications.” (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 26 (2), March/April, 2010)

A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2017 &ldquo;An ingeniously plotted Dickensian story filled with suspense, surprises, and ultimately satisfaction.&#160;It reminds us, who may have forgotten, why reading is such high entertainment and pleasure.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist, starred review &#160; &ldquo;Riveting . . . This first in a new series will capture the hearts and minds of readers and history buffs alike . . . Avi&rsquo;s examination of the plight of the desperately poor is worthy of Dickens. Impossible to put down.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews, starred review &#160; &ldquo;Avi&rsquo;s ability to write compelling historical fiction is evident here, and readers will want to stay tuned for the next installment.&rdquo; &mdash;School Library Journal &#160; &ldquo;With dry wit and a strong Dickensian flavor, this first installment in Avi&rsquo;s Oliver Cromwell Pitts saga has an 18th-century British boy finding misfortune everywhere he turns . . . Every cliffhanger-ending chapter will leave readers on the edge of their seats, wondering how Oliver will manage to survive his latest dilemma. Brimming with fast-paced action, evocative settings, and villains, this book reveals yet another side of Avi&rsquo;s talent.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review&#160; &#160; &ldquo;This action-packed Oliver Twist&ndash;like tale is carefully orchestrated, with short chapters, cliff hangers, lush descriptions, and historical details neatly woven in throughout . . . An entertaining, old-fashioned, page-turning adventure.&rdquo; &mdash;The Horn Book &#160; &ldquo;Colorful rogues, highwaymen and rotten magistrates populate the Dickensian plot, punctuated with clever cliff-hangers, endless close calls and bits of wisdom. Here a Newbery Medalist again delivers a page-turner, steeped in provocative moral questions.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Chronicle &#160; &ldquo;There&rsquo;s danger at every turn and cliffhangers galore in this un-put-downable Dickens story&mdash;a marvelous read.&rdquo; &mdash;San Antonio Express-News &#160; &ldquo;Entertaining . . . Engaging.&rdquo; &mdash;Buffalo News &#160; &ldquo;Full of life and Dickensian details, this is historical fiction at its most compelling.&rdquo; &mdash;Providence Journal &#160; &ldquo;Master-writer Avi has once again crafted a seamless novel of intrigue, suspense, and adventure that will have older kids ripping through ever page of this fast-paced, outstanding novel.&rdquo; &mdash;The Port Huron Times Herald &#160; &ldquo;The titular 12-year-old narrator of Newbury Medalist Avi&#39;s book The Unexpected Life of Oliver Cromwell Pitts may be small for his age (which lands him in trouble on more than one occasion), but the plucky lad is no stranger to out-sized exploits. The story, set in 1724 England, is a rip-roaring adventure tale with thieves, kidnappings and some truly awful bad guys &mdash; and wonderful chapter titles like, "In Which I Introduce Myself after Which I Immediately Plunge into a Desperate Situation." Avi, one of the great writers for young people working today, blends Pitts&#39; fictional story with historical figures of the age, throwing in plenty of juicy details about England&#39;s terrible social history along the way. Young readers will be introduced to injustices of the past while still moving quickly through the pages, thanks, in part, to Avi&#39;s short, cliff-hanger chapters.&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily American &#160;

A Best Book of 2019 according to the Chicago Tribune, Kirkus, Booklist, Vogue.com, and the Chicago Public Library


If there’s a Howland bandwagon (and there should be), hold me a seat, or I’ll stand.
 —Peter Orner

Howland creates stark and strange works of genius, portraying the complexities of family relationships as beautifully as she portrays her narrators’ insecurities, judgments, and anxieties…. This is a collection to savor, and Howland is an author to celebrate.—Publishers Weekly, starred review

Loving, lacerating sketches… With her flexible stance toward reality, her eye for the amusing, curious, minutiae of existence, and her tonal range, Howland recalls the short-story writer Lucia Berlin. 
―Abigail Deutsch, Harper's


An insanely sane mix of the hard-to-fight city in the ’70s and the accidental poetry of families stumbling through time.
—Robert Sullivan, Vogue

The recent celebration of fellow forgotten female artists, the short story writer Lucia Berlin, championed by Lydia Davis, or the painter Himla af Klint, showcased at the Guggenheim, reminds us how necessary it is to restore these visionaries, to help reshape our collective artistic history…. Expanding the canon to make room for Howland enhances our reading of the literature she’s in conversation with. This includes, notably, the stories of working-class America by her contemporary Raymond Carver. —Jenessa Abrams, Guernica


Like Bellow, Howland was a bard of Chicago, even at its most alarming…. A voice at once gritty and lyrical, despairing even while tenaciously holding onto hope. That Howland’s work is back with us again shows that hope won out, after all. —Diane Cole, Jewish Week


The stories of Bette Howland return to you like friends met once in a dream—strange, familiar, roughing up the texture of your days. These are stories that defy classification, but seem as fresh and vital as though they were written last week. The revival of Howland’s work is one of the best things to have happened in recent memory.—Madeleine Watts, McNally Jackson

Bette Howland hit me like a meteor. She writes with the deft narrative voice of Grace Paley and Eudora Welty's fidelity of place, yet her work fell out of print. This collection brings her back, and we’re all lucky.—Andrew Kay, East City Bookshop

“The rediscovery of Bette Howland as a major American writer not only feels just and right, it was, in retrospect, inevitable. A voice this unique simply can’t be forgotten or ignored forever. Her words, though in many cases decades old, remain refreshing and vital. Her concerns are our concerns. In many ways she came to us when we needed her most.”—Jeff Martin, Magic City Books


“You won’t be able to stop yourself from devouring [Bette Howland’s] strange and wonderful short story collection,Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage.” —192 Books

Peter Drucker ranges widely over the most critical issues facing business
and society today to offer advice and instruction for proactive executives.
Divided into four parts, the book offers analysis of the "information revolution"
and the knowledge society has created. It goes on to scrutinize the unprecedented
demographic, economic and sociological transformations of recent times
to present an outline of "the Next Society". The rapid shrinkage of young
people in the developed world for instance looks set to create a fundamental
rift in the composition and scope of the mass market. With the work force
being dominated by knowledge technologists, traditional personnel policies
and personnel management are quickly becoming obsolescent.
