The Best of Frontier Tales

'Terror creates fear and only succeeds where there are witnesses to consume terror. Counter-terrorism in Luke Howie's imaginative framework means countering feelings of terror. He has written an original and critical contribution to terrorism studies in situating different categories of witnesses, and documenting their narratives of trauma and repair. Thoughtful and compassionate, Howe writes without jargon, prediction or pretence about the age of terror.' - Bryan S. Turner, Professor of Sociology, The Graduate Center, The City University of New York, USA

'This impressive book not only engages critically with the specialized literature on terrorism but also introduces a new way of understanding the psychological effects of 9/11. This seminal research examines what it means when terrorists and the mass-media are inextricably intertwined. Howie brilliantly frames terrorism within the sense of uncertainty that it creates. Terrorism's power does not depend on damage or the number of casualties alone it depends on who is witnesses. Undoubtedly, Witnesses to Terror, is an all-encompassing view of terrorism, which I must confess is one of the best book I have read on the subject.' - Maximiliano E. Korstanje, University of Palermo, Argentina

"Not since Abraham Vergese's haunting 1994 book about eastern Tennessee, My Own Country, has the AIDS epidemic been described so deeply and humanly, and from so many angles. Steinberg...is keenly attuned to the many way a community encounters illness...[and] has ended up with a big, brave, poignant look into the heart of his country."   -- Time Out New York

From the reviews:
It is, simply put, the best work I have encountered on the "non-clinical" aspects of the important field of PET. The scientific features are explained clearly at all levels and are well illustrated so that the treatment will suit both experts in physics and radiochemistry and newcomers hoping to understand and perhaps use the techniques. The recent - and now seemingly indispensable - addition of CT to PET scanners is covered by discussions of theory, image registration and attenuation correction. At only £65 this book is a bargain. My only criticism of the book then is the sense of frustration it arouses by not having the equipment available to start exploiting it.&nbsp; [RAD Magazine, February, 2006]
According to the authors, the purpose is to provide a comprehensive "science of PET" textbook which is more focused and manageable than the original. The authors' intent is "to illustrate the power of clinical PET in substantially altering patient management, thereby avoiding futile aggressive therapy and improving cost effectiveness." The purpose and intent are very laudable, because PET is rapidly gaining momentum in the clinical arena. The book meets the authors' objectives in a superb manner. This book is a must read for physicists, chemists, physicians, and advanced technologists involved or interested in PET. It is the definitive reference in the field at the time of publication. (William R. Hendee, Doody Enterprises, Inc. - COPYRIGHT 2006)
"Positron Emission Tomography: Basic Sciences is a well written book … . This book provides a detailed discussion of the fusion process and the role of CT for anatomical localisation and attenuation correction … . What makes this book important and informative to any reader is that it is a collection of chapters written by luminaries in the field of PET. … We would recommend it to any scientists and clinicians with an interest in medical imaging." (Seu Som and Peter Lim, CancerForum, Vol. 30 (3), November, 2006)
"Essential for students, science and medical graduates who want to understand the basic science of Positron Emission Tomography (PET), this book describes the physics, chemistry, technology and overview of the clinical uses behind the science of PET and the imaging techniques it uses. … The technologist, the science engineering or chemistry graduate seeking further detailed information about PET, or the medical advanced trainee wishing to gain insight into the basic science of PET will faind (sic) this book invaluable." (Rivista di Neuroradiologia, Vol. 18 (2), 2005)
