'Michel Denis takes us on a journey to the fascinating empire of space and spatial cognition. His book offers an insightful up-to-date account of topics that researchers and practitioners have been struggling with over centuries. Philosophy, geography, architecture, psychology, linguistics, and computer science have made considerable progress in the field over the past fifty years. A single outstanding mind describes the perspectives on space from all these disciplines. The author excellently masters the task of bringing them together in a joint and very well written story. The book is highly inspiring for experts and novices in the field alike.' - Christian Freksa, University of Bremen, Germany　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　 

‘Our lives are spent interacting in space, and spatial thinking pervades imagery in the mind. This engaging volume explains how that happens, how the neural processes underlying navigation in space allow marvelous feats of the imagination. The sources for these insights and their implications are as broad as they are deep: neuroscience, geography, human-computer interaction, architecture, and the arts. Space and Spatial Cognition is a must-read for anyone interested in the workings of the human mind.'- Barbara Tversky, Stanford University & Columbia Teachers College
'Taken together, the apt presentation of topics like cognitive maps and the broad coverageof this book make Space and Spatial Cognition: A Multidisciplinary Perspective a valuable contribution and a very pleasant read.' — Ranxiao Frances Wang, Spatial Cognition & Computation

Space and Spatial Cognition

"Why We Argue, Second Editionis a timely and important book. The inability to have productive discussions on matters on which we deeply disagree poses a threat to our democracy, and it can affect our mental health as citizens as well. In their wide-ranging discussion, Aikin and Talisse characterize the nature of the challenges involved, and they make useful suggestions as to how we might go about addressing them. I highly recommend their book." 
-Sanford Goldberg, Northwestern University

"Why We Argue (and How We Should), Second Edition continues to provide a superb introduction to reasoned argumentation and an explanation of why it is the lifeblood of healthy democratic practice. This well-timed edition equips readers with additional tools for analyzing when democratic discourse is derailed. Those who would contribute to the revitalization of democratic practice by taking responsibility for their own deliberative obligations will find genial guides in Aikin and Talisse."

A Guide to Political Disagreement in an Age of Unreason

Why We Argue (And How We Should)

This is an outstanding book that provides a much-needed series of critical reflections on qualitative research at a time when critical civic discourses are narrowing and what counts as scholarship is increasingly under attack. It asks vital questions about the qualitative work we do, the way in which we do it, and the conditions under which that work exists. Embracing the cry for social justice, the book is also an important call for action. Qualitative Inquiry at a Crossroads is a gem that deserves to be read widely.

Brett Smith, University of Birmingham, UK

"John Coleman weaves together a range of perspectives on adolescence in a highly readable text. This is a work of wisdom and scholarship cleverly combined with a great deal of useful and practical information. This is no mean feat — making such complex ideas (merging anthropology, criminology, neuroscience, psychology, psychoanalysis and (a little bit of) sociology) accessible and understandable whilst not losing sight of the practice implications of the material is to be commended. All these make it essential reading for all those social workers working with adolescents." - Dr Ian Paylor, Senior Lecturer in Applied Social Science, Lancaster University, UK, in The British Journal of Social Work
"This book is unique in bringing together perspectives on adolescence from psychology, psychoanalysis, anthropology, neuroscience and criminology. John Coleman's particular talent is not only to make these complex ideas accessible to students and researchers, he also draws out their implications for those who work professionally with adolescents. As such, The Nature of Adolescence is essential reading for all those who wish to understand, and work more effectively with, young people." - John Pitts, Vauxhall Professor of Socio-legal Studies, University of Bedfordshire, UK
"In a society more troubled than ever by the problems of adolescence, this is a welcome and balanced overview, based entirely on scientific evidence. Enjoyable and authoritative reading for all who work with young people." - Lord Richard Layard, Well-being Programme, LSE Centre for Economic Performance, UK
"In this 4th edition of The Nature of Adolescence, John Coleman has woven together wisdom and scholarship to create a highly readable text. Topics such as the family and resilience are discussed with an informed intelligence which makes this book essential reading for anyone working with adolescents." - Professor Anne Edwards, Director, Department of Education, University of Oxford, UK
"Adolescence is indeed both a challenge and a delight, and John Coleman’s balanced, robust and fair approach to the topic is such a relief from negative media portrayals and thoughtless doom and gloom. This readable book provides a great deal of useful and practical information for anyone interested in the topic, and helps us to understand this important life stage." - Ann Hagell, Programme Head, Changing Adolescence Programme, The Nuffield Foundation London, UK and Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Adolescence

"We are witnessing a moment of revolution when it comes to how we think about and address inequality. This timely book documents how social impact leaders are challenging institutional norms and developing new approaches that acknowledge all people's capacity to solve the human problems we face as a civilization."- Professor Muhammad Yunus, 2006 Nobel Peace Laureate and Founder at Grameen Bank
"An excellent compilation of diverse and insightful perspectives from top leaders in the field on how to magnify our social impact. This book will be valuable to anyone who seeks to move beyond bandaids to drive lasting systemic change." -Ann Mei Chang, former Chief Innovation Officer at USAID and author of Lean Impact
"The problems of today and tomorrow demand collective action and creative solutions. The first step in developing the necessary culture of community-based problem-solving is to convene diverse leaders from industry and academia whose imagination and experience help us see with new, more inclusive eyes. The Perspectives book series, and especially the volumes on Impact and Purpose, does just that by amplifying the voices of underrepresented thought innovators whose perspective is vital to the future success, stability, and security of our society."- Dan Porterfield, President and CEO at the Aspen Institute
"The humanitarian, environmental, and social challenges we face today cut across the boundaries of traditional organizations. No one organization, or even sector, can solve these challenges alone. From Sesame Workshop's work with refugees in Syria to Women's March Global's advancement of equality around the world, this book'sdiverse case studies show how cross-sectoral leaders are thinking more systemically and working more collaboratively to create a more open, just, and habitable world." - Jeremy Heimans, Co-Founder and CEO at Purpose and author of New Power
"At a time when the world is creating endless societal challenges, Perspectives on Impact provides critical real world context on how a number of leaders and their organizations have accelerated systems change and created lasting impact. With clear examples and lessons learned, it is a timely compendium of the 'road maps' others have taken to make a difference in the world." -Jim Bildner, CEO at Draper, Richards, Kaplan Foundation
"We are all born systems thinkers, but many of us have had this way of seeing trained out of us during the course of our educational and professional lives. Thank goodness books like Perspectives on Impact are successfully reintroducing a systems orientation - the most viable path for mankind in collectively overcoming today's most daunting social and environmental problems." -John Kania, Managing Director at FSG, Executive in Residence at New Profit, and co-author of recent Stanford Social Innovation Review articles: Collective Impact and The Dawn of System Leadership
"We live in a time when the smartest investments we can make are in saving nature and in building our human capacities to act together. Perspectives on Impact synthesizes critical lessons on how to change systems for the better, and shares case studies that break new ground. The chapters in this collection each illustrate important aspects of how we can preserve our heritage and shape our future." - Mark Tercek, CEO at The Nature Conservatory

"This is an especially useful book on an increasingly important subject-the application, interpretation and outworking of maritime law in the People's Republic of China (PRC)...The authors must be congratulated on their hard work in pooling together so many PRC cases and weaving them so expertly into the body of legal rules."
The Journal of International Maritime Law

"[Maritime Law and Practice in China] is comprehensive, well-informed and well-arranged, and will be an important source of information for foreign practitioners in the increasing numbers of maritime cases before the Chinese courts and arbitration tribunals."

"For tests to be used most effectively, there must be a dialog between those who develop and administer tests and those who use the test scores to substantiate claims. Score reports are one-half of this dialog—missives from the former to the latter. Score Reporting Research and Applications is a must-read compendium of the challenges faced by those who prepare such reports and of practical solutions to those challenges. This volume leaves us ready to begin the second half of the conversation: how developers can improve tests by responding to users’ needs."

"The fading from memory of the Soviet Union has allowed Marxism to be comprehended in increasing clarity these days, consigning to the dustbin of Cold War history many of the silly notions people held of it in those distorted times. Nor has interest in Marxism waned since those times either - if anything, especially since the Great Recession began in 2007, interest and concern with the themes and ideas of Marxism and especially Marxist economics has increased. It is time then for a review and updating of the great insights and theories of that tradition in light of recent history. This volume is a restatement of the main ideas of today’s Marxist economics as they have developed up to the present moment." — Eric A. Schutz, Professor Emeritus, Economics, Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida, USA
"As a scholar I found myself compelled by the deep, exhaustive treatments of Marxian concepts; the accounts are rich, well argued, and generally quite illuminating. As a teacher, I found some of the more introductory and definitional contributions of particular utility in teaching the foundations of Marxian theory...Generally speaking, however, the book is a useful contribution to the field of Marxian economics, many of its chapters warranting consistent re-reading. It is a book that I have already used in my work and one that I am likely to continue using for the foreseeable future." — Benjamin J Anderson, is a PhD Candidate in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University (SFU), Marx & Philosophy Review of Books

"An urgent addition to accounts of globalization in the new millennium, Media Across Borders attends to key issues – digitalization, transnationalism and media convergence – to describe diverse practices of localization. Theoretically astute, the essays in this collection sparkle with insight and vigour."- Associate Professor Constantine Verevis, Monash University, Melbourne
"Media Across Borders provides a hugely welcome addition to debates about the globalisation and localisation of contemporary audiovisual culture. Its engaging, articulate and highly perceptive essays provide a series of thought provoking and timely interventions into some of the key features of the increasingly digitalised audiovisual landscape of the twenty first century."- Professor Lucy Mazdon, University of Southampton
"An interdisciplinary, innovative and unique volume. Interdisciplinary as it truly combines tools and methodologies from different areas to cast a close eye on today's production of, and market for, audiovisual entertainment. Innovative as it moves away from case study-based analyses and goes as far as to devote a whole section to outlining new, interdisciplinary research avenues. Unique as it draws together and combines concepts such as audiovisual translation and localization, which have too often, mistakenly, been kept apart. A highly recommended read." - Associate Professor of Translation, Elena Di Giovanni, University of Macerata, Italy

"This text by Ledford, Lane, and Barton fills a big void in resources for students studying young children with disabilities. This volume combines what we know about effective instruction, child development, data-based decision making, and inclusive education into a volume that is going to be an instant classic. I can’t wait to add it to my book shelf and my required reading lists." — Ilene Schwartz, University of Washington, USA

Ayres, The University of Georgia, USA.
"Methods for Teaching in Early Education is an invaluable resource for anyone working with young children, and especially young children with special needs. The systematic presentation of material mirrored by the equally systematic instructional methods will enhance practitioners’ understanding of recommended and developmentally appropriate practice, leading to improved outcomes for all children with whom they interact." — Brian Reichow,　University of Florida, USA
"Ledford, Lane and Barton have produced the proverbial ‘lightning in a bottle’ with Methods for Teaching in Early Education. This volume is an elegant, coherent and accessible collection of evidence-based practices in action.
