The Body of Knowledge around Substantial Sustainability Innovation

The Sustainability Handbook, Volume 1

"If you believe that theory is something you can ignore; if you believe that it is hopelessly relativist, post-processualist or, worse, post-modernist; if you seek a relatively short, refreshingly clear, and historically insightful overview of archaeological theory—and by that I mean social theory—since the 1980s; or if you teach a course on archaeological theory, then you need to read, and have your students read, this book. I say this because Archaeological Theory in the New Millennium is an engaging, concise, and forward-looking survey of theory in the field today, written by Oliver J. T. Harris and Craig N. Cipolla, that correctly targets the upcoming generation of archaeologists."- Timothy R. Pauketat, Illinois State Archaeological Survey and Department of Anthropology, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.
"The manual is useful as it gathers the main set of fashionable ideas by which a section of the modern generation of archaeologists navigate their data, interpretations and thoughts. As such, it provides an excellent characterisation of the current state of this form of archaeological research, which deserves reflection." - Leo S. Klejn, Saint Petersburg State University, Russia

Archaeological Theory in the New Millennium

"The author is congratulated for successfully delivering his well-established sexual management program for men with ejaculatory problems into this book. The integrated techniques are clearly described and should provide a valuable and accessible resource that can bring about meaningful change in this common and often challenging clinical situation for a man and his partner". -Kevan Wylie, MD FRCP FRCPsych FRCOG FECSM, Honorary Professor, University of Sheffield, UK, President of the World Association for Sexual Health.
"At a time when we sometimes blindly turn to pharmacologic strategies for sexual problems, it is heartening to come across a thoughtful, evidence-based sexological approach to a common male sexual complaint. Dr. de Carufel's concise yet comprehensive treatment guidance for men with premature ejaculation is a welcome addition to the clinical sexology toolbox." - Marta Meana, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Nevada , Las Vegas, Past President of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research
"This book provides a description of a unique approach to the treatment of premature ejaculation, which focuses on the management of sexual excitement rather than on the control of the ejaculatory process. The detailed description of this approach may be helpful to many clinicians". - Robert Taylor Segraves, MD PhD, Professor of psychiatry, Case Western Reserve University, Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy

"This book is essential because it teaches men that their body is like a musical instrument on which they can play pleasurable melodies in harmony with their partner. To be read, meditated upon and applied!" - Mireille Bonierbale, MD, Psychiatre-sexologue, Présidente de l’Association interdisciplinaire post universitaire de sexologie, Rédactrice en Chef de Sexologies : Revue Européenne de Santé sexuelle, Directrice de l'enseignement du DIU de Sexologie des CHU de Marseille et Montpellier.

'This is a bold and trailblazing work that deserves the attention of all who are concerned with contemporary Islam and legal reform. Highly recommended. Public libraries with a serious interest in contemporary Islam and all academic collections serving lower-level undergraduates through faculty/researchers.'  Choice  '... it is well written, has a useful bibliography and is very reasonably priced.'  Ecclesiastical Law Journal  'The book serves as a valuable textbook covering a wide range of opinions and themes as well as looking at a substantial number of hadiths and qur'anic verses.  These show how fluid the debate on various forms of apostasy has been from the early stages right up to the present time.'  Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations

“Prepare to cringe. As if the horrors of combat were not enough, Harrison introduces another brutal, and ultimately fascinating, element of humans at war: military trophy taking…an important book. Highly recommended.” · Choice

	“This book should be interesting to anybody interested in modern warfare, atrocity, brutalization and war crimes. Its lucid language should make it possible to use chapters in the advanced undergraduate classroom, and the conceptual richness and broad historical sweep will inspire debate in the honours or graduate seminar.” · Anthropological Forum

	“Dark Trophies is a stark, but lucid, book. It demonstrates once again that cultural anthropology can find logic in the most morally questionable of practices, and in doing so, demonstrates that ‘self and other’ do not differ as much as the right might want us to think. Harrison makes a persuasive case: trophy-taking of human body parts by victorious soldiers is rooted in an animal-hunting schema that strips the enemy of his humanity. It is a shadow that haunts warfare, east and west, traditional and modern.” · Oceania

	“The synthetic breadth and original analysis of Dark Trophies make it an insightful and important scholarly contribution. It shows persuasively how ‘savagery’ has persisted as a social practice within modern warfare, thus challenging ideas about the ‘civilized’ West. Historians and anthropologists of violence, warfare, the body, and race in Europe and America will find it a source of inspiration.” · The American Historical Review

	“This is an extremely interesting book with a strong argument overall…It is extremely readable, makes anthropological analysis accessible and does not over-exoticize the topic. Most admirably, the author keeps a tight focus on cross-cultural analysis…The bibliography is comprehensive and will also be a very useful tool for interested readers and researchers. I can’t think of anything like it in the extant literature; it bridges colonial North American and 20th century Pacific warfare, for instance.” · Laura Peers, University of Oxford

	“This is a wonderful book, which I found quite compulsive reading, and this is due not only to the compelling and often indeed disturbing subject that it focuses on, but also to the accessible yet sophisticated writing style of its author.” · Joost Fontein, University of Edinburgh

"Die Ergebnisse der Studie zeigen anschaulich, wie die Lehrenden das neue Wissen in bestehende Sinnbezüge und Werthorizonte integrieren." Das Argument, 278/2008
"Die materialreiche Studie erlaubt einen detaillierten Einblick in die Unterrichtsroutinen, die Handlungsmotive und das professionelle Selbstverständnis der Lehrenden. Sie überzeugt durch eine anschauliche Präsentation und eine gelungene Typisierung des Interviewmaterials. Auf diese Weise wird sehr plastisch, welche Strategien und Techniken Lehrkräfte in der Auseinandersetzung mit dem biowissenschaftlichen Wissen entwickeln. Originell ist auch der Einsatzpunkt der Analyse. Liebsch und Manz gehen den sozialen Implikationen biotechnologischen und biomedizinischen Wissens nicht auf der Hochebene politischer Kontroversen, bioethischer Debatten und medialer Diskurse nach, sondern richten die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Niederungen des Alltagshandelns. Sie lassen die Leser teilhaben an den provisorischen und tastenden Versuchen der Lehrkräfte, ein neues Wissensgebiet zu gestalten und neue Wissensinhalte zu vermitteln." www.info-sozial.de, 29.07.2008

'...Psychoanalysis and Ethics in Documentary Film is successful in illuminating the importance of the hidden emotional encounter between the subject/filmmaker, while also offering an enjoyable read.' 
Monika Loewy, The International Journal of Psychoanalysis
"It is the considerable contribution of Piotrowska to have understood just how much can be at stake for any filmmaker/subject encounter in the documentary field. After all, lives are being narrated, bodies represented, trust gained and confidences shared. In this fascinating volume, Piotrowska dares to suggest that this scenario and the depths of the soul and psyche it touches are not so far afield from that which obtains in the analytic setting: the unconscious desires define the encounter. Here she evokes the Lacanian construct – le sujet supposé savoir – the subject supposed to know… It is Piotrowska’s bold claim that such a love may also ensue between the filmmaker and her subject. In the most dramatic section of this book, Piotrowska in fact takes us through one such encounter via her film about a conman. A filmmaker’s production diary is transformed into a case study exploring the shared intimacies, emotional revelations and false promises of a love affair – or analysis – gone awry. Particularly given the role that disparities of age, gender and power play in this relationship (Piotrowska is the younger female who wields the camera), it is as though Dora and Freud are writing as collaborators who occasionally shift places on the couch. It is a dizzying display, juicy of course but also deeply insightful for what it has to tell us about the psychic dynamics potential to any documentary production… I leave you with Agnieszka Piotrowska’s radical and compelling account believing that it has introduced something new, important and no doubt controversial to the documentary studies arena."
Michael Renov, Professor of Critical Studies and Documentary at the University of Southern Californi, USA
‘Transference-love and documentary film - how can they be thought of together? The conjunction of the two stands at the core of ethical pursuit, theoretical reflection and engaged practice that Agnieszka Piotrowska draws for us in this outstanding, lucid and inspiring book.’

Mladen Dolar, Professor of Philosophy, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
‘This passionate book offers a radical new understanding of the relationship between documentary filmmakers and their ‘subjects’ – the people who participate in their films. Drawing on her own background as a filmmaker alongside a deep immersion in the literature on psychoanalysis and film, Agnieszka Piotrowska shows how complicated and intense the involvement of filmmakers with their subjects can be. The book announces a remarkable and distinctive interdisciplinary perspective that uses psychoanalysis, philosophy, social theory and film studies to explore the intense underside of the documentary experience.’

Stephen Frosh, Professor of Psychology, Birkbeck College, University of London
‘This book makes a significant contribution to understanding documentary film through the complex scholarly study it presents of the interview as an emotional and ethical encounter between filmmaker and interviewee/participant, developing philosophical and psychoanalytical arguments that are made vivid through her discussion of her own professional film-making experience and her examination of a wide range of films.’

Elizabeth Cowie, Professor of Film Studies, University of Kent
‘This impressive book connects the author’s own practice as documentary filmmaker with a range of theoretical reflections drawn mainly from psychoanalysis in the Lacanian tradition. The wide theoretical sweep of the book includes careful study of notions developed by other writers such as Butler, Lévinas, Badiou and Žižek. The analysis of transference in research provides a compelling argument for film makers, and all of those involved in representational practice, to attend to ethics in their work. Ethics is at the core of this book, and fuels the narrative of an engaging and timely study. The thoughtful and illuminating analyses will be of interest to film scholars, psychoanalysts and those working in the broader field of cultural studies. Agnieszka Piotrowska explores and redefines key debates and takes forward our understanding of film, subjectivity and research.’

Ian Parker, Professor of Psychology, Manchester Metropolitan University

‘Sign your rights away forever and appear in my documentary film for free!In this meticulously researched and wide-ranging exploration of the intimate relationship between subject and filmmaker, encompassing psychoanalysis, ideology and ethics, Agnieszka Piotrowska controversially suggests that the subject may fall into reciprocated love with the filmmaker through transference. Piotrowska's work is a fascinating, important and thought-provoking addition to documentary film theory.’
Jill Daniels, Filmmaker and Senior Lecturer, University of East London
'Pitrowska's book clearly offers an opportunity for dialogue between documentary filmakers, psychoanalytic theorists and practitioners and qualitative researchers. It is most accessible to filmmakers, film theorists, and cultural theorists using Lacan.'
Susan DeMattos, PsycCRITIQUES
'Agnieszka Piotrowska's Psychoanalysis and Ethics in Documentary Film considers the under-theorized relationship at the heart of many documentary films... Piotrowska approaches this inter-subject encounter as both a practitioner - for years she directed documentaries for major broadcaster - and a theoretician." 
Bruce Eadie, School of Arts, Birkbeck, University of London, New Review of Film and Television Studies

"… Prins himself has crossed boundaries in his career – practitioner, Probation Officer, and academic – the book remains filled with observations from and about music, art, literature and contemporary culture which takes his prose about what some might regard as essentially dry, socio-forensic matters into a whole new realm of academic writing. In other words, Offenders, Deviants or Patients? remains what it has always been - a delight to actually read. This is not something I could say about many academic books." - From the Foreword, Professor David Wilson, Centre for Applied Criminology, Birmingham City University

The new edition of this classic text offers the most comprehensive and insightful analysis of social work practice in health care found in any textbook. The cases are new and discuss cutting-edge issues including transgender health, genetic testing and counseling, immigrant health, and international public health. Of particular value are the discussions of each case that identify new learning and that model reflective practice skills. Because it presents contemporary issues influencing the context for, and the process of, social work decision-making in the accessible form of case studies, Social Work in Health Settings is strongly recommended as a textbook for students as well as advanced practitioners. 
Goldie Kadushin, Professor Emerita, Helen Bader School of Social Welfare, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA

The 4th edition of McCoyd and Kerson’s Social Work in Health Settings makes a strong case for its impact and utility for social workers in health care. This well-written and consistently edited book allows each contributor to speak in her own voice. The range of settings and social work roles presented expands our understanding of social work in health care while the casebook format helps the reader to see reflective social workers in action. Social work educators will also find the book useful for teaching generalist social work practice.
Julie S. Abramson, Associate Professor Emeritus, School of Social Welfare, University at Albany, Albany, NY, USA

Social Work in Health Settings

"With globalisation established as a process that shrinks the space-time continuum and increases social density, the task before us is to normalise the sometimes bewildering outcomes by means of historical work. Vigneswaran does that for migration."
- Iver Neumann, Montague Burton Professor of IR, London School of Economics, UK

"Vigneswaran demonstrates adroitly how imagined cartographies produce territorial control of mobility. He delivers on the radical opening premise that while human migration transforms political space, political systems remain inept in responding to migration. He contextualizes contemporary border enforcement with alternative historical narratives of state territoriality. The book offers thoughtful and far-reaching analysis of European history to posit mental maps as 'radical simplifications' of space designed to control. Vigneswaran moves daringly beyond critique to ask how future systems of governance might actually work. This is an essential, lively, and illuminating read for anyone interested in political geography, mobility and territoriality."
- Alison Mountz, Balsillie School of International Affairs, Canada
