Our Most Significant Environmental Problems and What Could Be Done

‘This innovative analysis of a crucial relationship in contemporary world politics explores how Indian and American policymakers have managed their increasingly complex ties. Ranging across a number of issue areas, from civil nuclear cooperation to defence and security linkages, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of the India-US partnership and the challenges that it faces.’
– Ian Hall, Griffith University, Australia

‘In this timely book, Professor B.M. Jain offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of US-India relations from "estranged democracies" to "strategic partners". He applies the "complex interdependence" model and brings forth the many nuances of this complex relationship and its implications for international order in the 21st century.’
– T.V. Paul, McGill University, Canada
'This book is an enormously helpful tour d'horizon of the India-US relationship. It is in unusual in being alive to both historical and contemporary concerns. It documents just how varied this relationship is, and the various pulls and pressures that have shaped it. Readers will find it a rewarding book to engage with.'
- Pratap Bhanu Mehta, President & Chief Executive Centre for Policy Research Dharma Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi
"The book presents a very comprehensive and insightful account of the chequered Indo-US relations and makes strong arguments deepening the strategic partnership between world’s oldest democracy and the largest democracy. The survey of literature in the book is exhaustive. The book is perhaps first of its kind to posit India-US relations in the framework “complex interdependence”."
- Rup Narayan Das, The Pioneer

From the reviews:

"Hub Zwart’s Understanding Nature is a project designed as a defense of epistemology reformulated as a comparative practice that conceives knowledge as a process undertaken by a range of disciplines and practices to apprehend the constitutive features of complex phenomena. … the great strength of Understanding Nature is Zwart’s fascinating and provocative readings of philosophers, novelists, poets, scientists, and dramatists. … it is a study of the limits and uniqueness of the perceptual vantages that give rise to scientific and literary forms of expression." (Christopher C. Robinson, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 22, 2009)

'At last! - an enjoyable methods book which is a compelling read AND genuinely practical in analysing qualitative research. A 'must-have'.' - Professor Allan Kellehear, La Trobe University'This is a good book on an important topic. It offers sound, level-headed, balanced advice, is up-to-date, written in an engaging style, and covers virtually all of the main issues relating to the analytic and writing process in qualitative research.' - Professor Nigel Fielding, University of Surrey

Qualitative Analysis

'This strikingly ambitious book offers a theoretical model of how practitioners of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy and social work seek to offer transformative help. It is a psychoanalytical theoretical model but its explanatory scope reaches far beyond traditional psychoanalytic work, and this makes it essential reading for the wide range of professionals who work with the disadvantaged. O’Neill writes clearly, explains complex ideas with clarity, gives the reader excellent summaries of what she’s covered and signposts to where she’s going next. The book fulfils its ambitious aims. O’Neill’s thesis is both a new conceptualisation of what might be called social intervention, and a theory of therapeutic change.'-Vic Sedlak, Training Analyst, The British Psychoanalytical Society
'Social work has sometimes valued psychoanalysis for thinking about the relational aspects of its work, but sometimes sees concentration on the inner workings of the mind as neglectful of the reality faced by clients. Sylvia O`Neill`s timely book addresses this conflict and expands, through detailed conceptual writing and fully explored case examples, the richness a sustained effort to realign the two worlds contains. Building on the work of Jean-Luc Donnet she develops his concept of the setting and those discoverable "site" elements fundamental to the establishment of a psycho-analytic and a social work process. This finely written and thoroughly researched work reinvigorates both worlds and will enhance the understanding of members of both professions.'-Mary Twyman,Member British Psycho-analytic Society; formerly Principal Social Worker,Tavistock ClinicAdult Department

"Ball's use of Foucault as applied to specific instances of educational policy is a powerful model for scholars and students as it provides an approach through which to analyze and understand past and present educational policy. Summing Up: Reccommended."- J.A. Helfer, Knox College, for CHOICE, November 2013
"........what Ball has constructed here is valuable, partly because he brings his subject into relief personally, intellectually and methodologically; but also and more importantly because he goes beyond just analysing and applying Foucault and attempts to ‘do’ Foucault. It is his use of genealogy and the distinct autobiographical slant which appears and reappears throughout that set this book apart, and make it needed." ― Ben Knight,International Journal of Lifelong Education

"A comprehensive book deeply rooted into the physics foundation of the devices being modeled… It convinces the reader, providing confidence in the inherently quite complex equations involved in compact modeling. Moreover, the inclusion of a chapter on process variability in miniaturized devices gives the entire book a deep sense of realism."—Constantin Bulucea, IEEE Journal of Electron Devices Society (J-EDS)"A comprehensive compendium on generic MOSFET compact modeling for both students and practitioners in electronic circuit design. … This text book provides a valueable insight of generic MOSFET compact modeling and is, thus, well suited for students in electronics engineering."—Prof. Dr. Joachim Burghartz, Institute for Microelectronics Stuttgart (IMS CHIPS)"This is an excellent book written in lucid language and covers almost all the topics related to modeling of MOS system both electrostatics and transport. It is useful for both beginners and experts in the field of compact modeling. Chapter 8 on statistical variability and chapter 12 on library will be definitely useful as these chapters are not covered in other books."—Yogesh Singh Chauhan, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur"The writing style of the author is very visual and transforms the material from sequential mathematical derivations into a usable mental image through precise descriptions of the device physics and model limitations."—Bill Nehrer, PDF Solutions"…is extremely timely and something the community has been waiting for. 
This book is well written, with an in depth explanation of basic concepts as well as advanced topics. This would serve not only as an introductory text book on modeling for students but also as a good refresher book for experts working in the field. Personally, this is the book I have been waiting for, and would order one right away."—V.Ramgopal Rao, P.K.Kelkar Chair Professor, IIT Bombay, India

"The book brings out yet another way of examining the notion of exclusion, marginalisation, reconfiguration of identities and subjectivities by foregrounding the process of “othersim” as an analytical lens."

'...it challenges existing theoretical frameworks to study the ‘other’ to comprehend various representations of ‘otherness’ and ‘othering’ in the South Asian context, highlighting the importance of context-based theoretical frameworks. By focusing our attention on the various representations of the ‘other’, the volume certainly elicits further dialogue and productive debate.'

Data Stewardship for Open Science is especially recommended for corporate; college, and university library Computer Science and Engineering collections. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of students, academia, and non-specialist general readers that "Data Stewardship for Open Science" is also available in a paperback edition
—James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review, Science Shelf
The practice of science in the information age is changing in ways that have not been more pronounced since the advent of mathematics. Data Stewardship for Open Science provides a comprehensive inventory of what scientists need to know about putting data into public repositories in a manner that will allow their teams and those of other investigators to understand what experiments actually have been done, to explore online data in search of new discoveries, to build on the datasets of other scientists, and to prepare for a world in which the dissemination of research objects in digital form will become the primary means by which scientists communicate with one another. Mons does not offer a cookbook for managing experimental data, but rather a rich enumeration of what scientists need to do—and not do—to be successful in addressing the opportunities and the challenges provided by open science. 　This book provides essential advice for anyone who needs to generate, to access, or to manage scientific data for broad, public consumption—which is now just about anyone in the scientific community.
—Mark A. Musen, Stanford University
Prof. Barend Mons is a visionary of a new age of data-driven and machine-assisted science: the era of FAIR data, where the immensely valuable data is not lost any more, but it persists, and is reusable to enable currently imaginable avenues to increase human knowledge. This book is the first comprehensive publication containing the essential vision on a way forward, a book that sets a new standard of effective data stewardship and that should be on a shelf of every responsible data steward. We are honoured to be among the authors of a supporting software project: the Data Stewardship Web portal. [https://dmp.fairdata.solutions]
—Dr. Robert Pergl and Dr. Jiri Vondrasek, Elixir Node Czech Republic
Data stewardship, a concept that involves all those data management issues related to long-term data reusability and interoperability, requires careful planning and thought from the beginning of a research project. Producing research that complies with FAIR principles is an ethical responsibility for all scientists, and a plan for reuse should be an obligatory and fundamental part of study design, especially for those working with public funding. Beyond the ethical responsibility to produce transparent and reproducible research, young scientists today should view cultivation of data stewardship skills as an opportunity to participate in the exciting, innovative research of tomorrow. This book will greatly help early career researchers to get acquainted with the basics of modern data stewardship, as we described in our common paper: https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-017-1351-7
—The collective students of the 2016 Summerschool of the League of European Research Universities
This book is an excellent source to learn and practice exploration, explanation, and interpretation of meanings hidden in the data using what the author names ‘FAIR’ principles.
-Ramalingam Shanmugam, Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation
