Titles in the ‘Bloomsbury Companions’ series are intended to bridge the gap between textbooks and the primary literature. The present volume occupies this niche admirably. Initial chapters provide practical advice on research methods, with guidance on factors that have been shown to confound results; the section on phonetic fieldwork in particular shares direct experience, and could be useful to any linguist who ventures beyond the lab. Successive chapters deal with such broad research areas as prosody or universals, and applications in clinical work, forensics, and technology. The volume concludes with suggestions for new research directions. Each contribution is breife – typically about 15 pages – and highly structured, synthesizing current literature and placing it in historical context. Contributors represent a range of countries including Australia, Canada, and Germany; there is a slight bias toward the UK in the applied chapters. Knowledge of phonetic concepts and terminaology is assumed. The book is likely to be of particular use to beginning graduate students, to contextualize theory and situate their research within ongoing programs of inquiry, or to experienced linguists who wish to review the specialized subfields of phonetics. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers.

Marilyn Dunn interrogates familiar sources from the perspective of cognitive anthropology, and, in so doing, moves the reader beyond an external account of events and people towards illuminative and evidenced insight into how people reacted to the introduction of Christianity socially, politically and personally. This exciting approach opens up a new framework for understanding these first encounters with the new religion, and adds a fresh dimension to our understanding of a period of profound change.

Enumerans Stirpes Circa Francofurtum Ad Moenum Crescentes (1772)

Flora Moeno-Francofurtana, Part 1

This volume makes a substantial contribution to several disciplines—literary studies, feminist studies, environmental studies, and philosophy as well as animal studies. Donovan (emer., English, Univ. of Maine) has written or edited some dozen previous works, including the acclaimed Feminist Theory: The Intellectual Traditions (CH, Apr'86). Building on foundation laid in The Feminist Care Tradition in Animal Ethics: A Reader, which she coedited with Carol Adams (2007), Donovan takes issue with the ways in which the philosophies of Descartes and Kant have influenced aesthetic theory since the Enlightenment and offers instead a distinctly feminine aesthetics of care focused on nonhuman animals but with far-reaching implications for human interactions with the environment as well. Donovan engages with a range of complex philosophical issues and writes about them with spirit, precision, and astonishing clarity, making her work accessible to a wide interdisciplinary audience. Literary scholars will find that her analysis is enhanced by examples from an array of authors whose works exemplify an “aesthetics of care” tradition, including Sophocles, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Cather, and Woolf. This extraordinary book, written by a mature master teacher, is a remarkable achievement. Summing Up: Essential. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.

The Aesthetics of Care

In this fascinating work - part history of philosophically-minded aesthetics, part rumination on the nature of images, and part exploration of how the possibilities implicit in that nature have increasingly been exploited by new image-making technologies - Wiesing offers a deeply informed and theoretically searching exploration of one of the dominant phenomena of our age.

This is an indispensable new resource for theatre students, scholars and makers. It takes readers on an engaging and thoughtful journey through the constantly evolving role of sound in theatre studies. Starting with ‘Classical Sound’ the volume considers experiences of listening, of producing sound and of being immersed in sonic environments. In the process it explores the philosophical, political, ethical and technological roles of sound from Aristotle to the 21st century. What is most impressive about this volume, however, is the nuanced way it draws together key theoretical, critical and aesthetic ideas to provide the reader with a clear sense of how these operate to shape both what they hear and do not hear within and in response to the theatre.  This is a timely, valuable and thoughtfully written book that will be of great utility for all those interested in theatre, sound studies and in the acts of producing theatre, of listening and of understanding what they hear.

Theory for Theatre Studies: Sound

The merits of this work are manifold. The subject matter of the book is original as it offers the first example of examination of EU criminal law institutional aspects. The prose is fluid, rich in metaphors and expressions that catch and keep the reader's attention. The structure of the book, organized into eight chapters, is clearly outlined at the beginning and often recalled and re-explained through several helpful intermediary conclusions. Moreover, the author shows an appreciable mastery of both traditional European law concepts and criminal law axioms. What results is an extremely rich and articulated discussion on their interaction, with an impressive amount of case law and references included.

The Constitutional Dimension of European Criminal Law

The book offers a thoroughly researched, well organized, and highly readable examination of imperial Russia’s involvements in recovering the material culture of Byzantium during the waning years of the Ottoman Empire. Thee ideological motivations and cultural biases that influenced and guided these scientific endeavors, especially evident in the mission of the RAIC in the Balkans, are treated as matters of fact, and there is no hint of interpretation or judgment on the part of the author. Thee book exemplifies the highest quality scholarship in carrying out exactly what it sets out to do.

Handwörterbuch der Physiologie mit Rücksicht auf physiologische Pathologie, Dritter Band

This book is a 400-plus-page wake-up call to classicists, warfare scholars and anyone interested in the value of the classical world as a cultural vantage point. Ancient warfare has long come into debates concerning the nature and ethics of warfare; this book shows how over-simple many of the terms of this debate have been.  The editor writes: ‘War as Spectacle is not your typical book on the subject of ancient warfare.’ Where this book differs from other work to date is in its focus on warfare as a performance, as a multi-sensory experience, and as entertainment. The contributors consider the implications of a performative approach for reassessing how the ancients thought about war, and about the ethics of classical reception.  The authors keep coming back to the issue of the distance between antiquity and the modern world. Conversely, the whole book is an exercise in reception: for instance in how commemorative monuments receive ancient battles, and in how archaic and classics authors were already reworking  and rejecting a Homeric aesthetics of warfare.

A valuable, generative book … Johnston has written a book of interest to students, theatre practitioners, scholars, and people who reflect on representation in critical ways or who are interested in considering disability and theatre in tandem … Johnston's work demonstrates the benefits of thinking creatively about how to navigate ableist attitudes and structures. Throughout, she makes a convincing case that disability has a historical role in modern theatre and that attentiveness to disability theatre practices offer creative, compelling choices within this art form. The creative impact of a sustained inquiry into disability theatre is apparent throughout this work; often, the political reverberations are evident as well.
