There is no comparable book available that deals as comprehensively with the range of health care and welfare issues raised by homelessness. This book is of value to practitioners, educators and students. ... I would recommend this book as standard reading ... it dispels stereotype views of the homeless and gives impetus to new directions for care.' - Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing`The book provides a valuable `state of the art' summary for those involved in service planning, provision and research, and for those working in the field it will confirm existing knowledge.  But it is to be hoped that it will not only appeal to the converted as it has something important to say to a broader audience and deserves a wider readership.' - Health Matters`Kevin Fisher and John Collins have simply and ruthlessly exposed much of the hypocrisy surrounding attitudes to homelessness. ... their book should produce red faces in high places. ... They marshal facts, figures and more research to support one simple assertion: a homeless person's main problem is lack of accommodation. ... the book's style is simple and clear; shocking case histories and statistics are allowed to speak for themselves.' - Health Service Journal`A highly engaging and important addition not only to the health care debate but also to the housing aspect and impact of community care.'

"The book is distinct and significant because it offers diverse audience-centered analyses of various media representations of African American Life and culture from the perspective of African American scholars. In doing so, the book privileges African American voices in offering insights into how media treatments impact and play a major role in the social formation of African Americans' cultural identity." -- J.D. Hamlet, CHOICE

"Getting to 67 is an insightful and analytically sound examination of the forces that have shaped U.S. arms control ratification decisions in the post-Cold War era. Readers with an interest in foreign policy, national security, international relations, and American politics will truly enjoy Patrick Homan's five compelling case studies, framework for future analysis, and overall thoughtful treatment of the subject."
-- Christopher M. Jones, Bradley University
"This book is a well-conceived, richly descriptive, and conceptually organized examination of the domestic politics of arms control. With its comparative analysis of the full range of post-Cold War arms control treaties, up to and including the most recent experience in the Obama administration, it is unique and timely. Its theoretically meaningful and practically relevant insights make it of interest to both scholars and practitioners of US foreign policy, security studies and international relations generally."
-- James M. Scott, Texas Christian University; Co-Editor ofPolitical Research Quarterly
"Patrick Homan has provided a valuable and updated analysis of the factors that affect the ratification of arms control treaties in the post-Cold War world. This book will be useful for students, professors, and analysts who study this subject and executive and legislative staffers who work this problem. Highly recommended."
-- Dan Caldwell, Pepperdine University
"Getting to 67 is a timely and important contribution to the literature on arms control. Drawing on his examination of the ratification politics of five post-cold war arms control agreements, Patrick Homan constructs a new framework for explaining and predicting the outcome of this process. This framework, which draws upon and modifies cold war era research, is needed because of the changing nature of American domestic politics. It promises to be a valuable reference point for future arms control studies."
-- Glenn Hastedt, James Madison University
"In Getting to 67, Patrick Homan offers an up-to-date and rich treatment of the complex politics of arms control treaty ratification in the United States. The book provides a comprehensive survey of actors and conditions, featuring original case material and valuable theoretical insights, that helps to explain the puzzle behind treaty ratification successes and failures."
-- Jeffrey S. Lantis, The College of Wooster

"Synthetic Planet documents the continuing toxic tragedy to which we were first alerted by Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.  If you are concerned about "weapons of mass destruction" that have silently entered our homes and arms, our food and water, read Synthetic Planet." -- Vandana Shiva, author of Water Wars: Privatization, Pollution, and Profit"A much needed sociological account of how the chemical industry, while working under the guise of nation-building, is inextricably linked to the destabilization of human and ecological health. Underlying each of the striking essays is the growing concern that we are performing a vast chemical experiment on ourselves and our planet.  If this thought-provoking research does not compel us to make wiser choices for the health of our children and grandchildren, I don't know what will." -- Elise G. Miller, Executive Director, Institute for Children's Environmental Health"Provides provocative, challenging, and informative analyses of some of the most pressing problems facing the world environment today.  Synthetic Planet explains why and how complex scientific issues regarding the links between the environment and health remain highly vulnerable and unresolved far longer than need be." -- Devra Lee Davis, author of When Smoke Ran Like Water: Tales of Environmental Deception and the Battle Against Pollution"Synthetic Planet provides valuable insights into current environmental concerns." -- Social Development Issues

&quot;This doctoral dissertation written at the University of Southern California defines the characteristics of homegrown violent extremism, identifies U.S. groups that espouse extremist ideologies, and describes the components of the radicalization process. The final chapter proposes a ‘mosaic of engagement’ model for enhancing public safety through school-based initiatives that help curtail the circumstances and factors that can lead to violent behavior.&quot;-- ProtoView.com, February 2014 &quot;An insightful and authoritative account of the nature and threat of what is termed &quot;homegrown violent extremism&quot; (HVE), the conditions and vulnerabilities that produce it, and governmental and private sector approaches that are effective at mitigating such threats at the societal, community and individual levels.&quot;-- Perspectives on Terrorism, February 2014 &quot;It is no surprise that Erroll Southers, a leading counter-terrorism practitioner and academic, has delivered in Homegrown Violent Extremism a concise, well argued, and thorough examination of this important issue which is informed both by his deep familiarity with the relevant academic literature and also by his many years of practical work experience in the counter-terrorism field.&quot;-- Peter Bergen, security and counterterrorism expert, author, and CNN National Security Analyst

"This set of books is definitely worth purchasing for the therapist or counselor who deals with or is affected by children who are coping with the issues of death. Even though we live in an era which heralds amazing medical advances death continues to be a part of life so therefore grief counseling, especially in the lives of children and adolescents, needs to be an integral part of our counseling and therapy." -- American Journal of Pastoral Counseling

'Chris Rodgers and his co-authors have brought together important research...They show that 'modernizing' common law institutions that evolved over time can change ownership rights and duties in unexpected ways. For sustainability questions we have to study more systems over time as this important collection of studies illustrates.' - Elinor Ostrom, Indiana University, USA, and joint Winner of the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences 2009 
'Contested Common Land exemplifies collaborative, multi-disciplinary landscape research at its finest: field and archival, contemporary and historical, comparative and local, scholarly and publically engaged. Both rigorous and imaginative, the book shines a new light on English and Welsh commons and the landscape more widely. The project team reveal their rich and remarkably resilient history as a working country in the face of periodical challenges, with the capacity for a new lease of life in a wider, international, world concerned with sustainability. With complementary expertise, the authors show that common land is a topical as well as traditional place, a diverse and dynamic social and environmental resource, a repository of complex uses and values, a living landscape that demands careful cultural appreciation as well as effective conservation and practical management.' - Stephen Daniels, Director, AHRC Landscape and Environment programme, UK
'Ambitiously conceived, and flawlessly presented, this book should be read by all policy-formers and those engaged in the management of commons, as well as anyone with an interest in rural history, the interface of common and statutory law, or awareness of the global principles underlying shared resource management. It deserves to remain on their shelves permanently, as a source of reference and inspiration.' - Graham Bathe, Principal Project Manager, Natural England
'The work is a timely contribution of interest to a wide readership concerned with issues of environmental sustainability, the evolution of institutional governance systems, the history of English and Welsh commons and our historic landscape more generally.' Agricultural History Review
