“I found this to be a very useful reference. The chapters are concise and high yield. All the chapters describe common vascular surgery conditions likely to be seen by the average general surgeon. The book is well illustrated and the diagrams, photographs, and anatomy cartoons complement the text well. Overall, I would recommend this to all general surgery residents and practitioners.” (George Edward Havelka, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2015)

From the reviews:

“Neuropsychology meets the field of neuroinformatics (NI) in this short text … by Vinoth Jagaroo. … the premise of this book is critically important and timely for the field of neuropsychology, both experimental and clinical. … Neuroinformatics for Neuropsychology, the first book of its kind to deal with this topic with specific implications for clinical neuropsychology … .” (Erin D. Bigler, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 55 (17), April, 2010)

Neuroinformatics for Neuropsychology

"With tremendous narrative drive, unpretentious grace, and a thorough grasp of McCarthy's themes, Kenneth Lincoln invites the reader into McCarthy's astonishingly creative and dramatic writing. Lincoln's timely study covers writing hybrids of mytho-poetic saga and red-dirt realism for our age. McCarthy's wise, dubious, existential edge reflects on the deepest American themes of regeneration through violence, particularly the roles of men in the creation of our inescapable national identity. His stories ask readers whether a country so created out of blood and greed can ever redeem itself. Lincoln limns the writer's deepest probings with enthusiastic invitations, excellent plot summaries, and thoughtful provocations. Cormac McCarthy allows students and general readers to ask the essential question: Can we survive our own culture of blood and violence?" - Peter Nabokov, Dept. of World Arts and Cultures, UCLA

'I love this book! It delivers just what we need to effectively educate our students and add useful knowledge to the managers who make our organizations work every day. Professor Adler brings together crucial research and cases to create an evidence-based approach to performance management. Just as important, he delivers an interdisciplinary point of view that will pay dividends. Having been trained in organization theory and behaviour, and having worked for years in the strategy and control areas, I know how important an interdisciplinary perspective can be. Professor Adler was the right person to give us that perspective.' — Professor Chet Miller, Bauer College of Business, University of Houston

From the reviews:“The book is easy and interesting to read and will appeal to readers who are seeking a comprehensive overview of the subject. … a good starting point for those who are intending to delve into the subject with the intention of developing a service in this area. It will also appeal to general gastroenterologists and surgeons who want to be updated about these new techniques and to primary care doctors and general physicians with an interest in gastroenterology. The book is well referenced … .” (A. Axon, Techniques in Coloproctology, Vol. 16, 2012)

From the reviews:“The code is arranged by chapter. It is easy and straight forward to run the code. The chapters have lots of exercises. This is a good book to learn both statistics and R.” (Cats and Dogs with Data, maryannedata.com, March, 2014)“This book is organized in a methodical manner. … each chapter ends with a sample output so readers can check their own R code and true/false questions to test readers’ knowledge. … this is a well-done book that will be useful for self-learners or specialists in application areas who can use it as a practical source for statistical analysis, as well as the source of R code for libraries.” (Mike Minkoff, Computing Reviews, August, 2013)"The monograph presents an introductory course on statistics, with numerous illustrations using R. In its 15 chapters, the book covers such topics as R installation, laws of probability, randomness, distributions of various kinds, hypothesis testing, classical Chi-square, z-, t-, and F-tests, correlation and linear regression, resamplingwith jackknife, bootstrap, and cross validation, andmetaanalysis and significance...those who already are familiar with R can find the book useful for an introduction to statistical concepts, with the numerical examples which can be reproduced by the downloaded scripts."Technometrics 56:1 2014

"The book could be used effectively by experienced or novice basic science researchers or clinicians since the protocols are written clearly and concisely. Each of the chapters in the book gives specific instructions on how to prepare specimens for analysis. The chapters are clearly written, concise, and should be easy for anyone to follow. . .This book is intended and written as a guide to use in the laboratory. It would be quite useful for anyone wishing to assess many parameters of oxidative activities in biological specimens."-doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

“Obadare’s handbook manages to showcase the varied contours of civil society in Africa … . several chapters in this book should serve as valuable sources for new research avenues. Readers of this handbook, be they academics, civil society and African studies scholars and researchers, and practitioners, should come away with a much enlightened view of civil society, one that draws from, and is anchored within historical and contemporary African realities.” (Grace L. Chikoto-Schultz, Voluntas, Vol. 28, 2017)“It is more voluminous and multilayered, spanning the historical, theoretical, and concrete dimensions of civil society and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) across Africa. … a multi-disciplinary collection of essays from cross-continental contributors the book is an attempt to set a template for research and studies on civil society and NGOs. It is recommended for academics, civil society groups, and other stakeholders in Africa, and would be useful in teaching.” (Olugbemiga S. Afolabi, African Affairs, Vol. 115 (461), October, 2016)“The Handbook of Civil Society in Africa provides an important set of contributions that locates African civil society in historical context and takes a critical look at its current manifestations across the continent. … the volume represents a deliberate attempt to shift and widen the terms through which civil society in Africa is conceptualized and understood, aiming to open up new modes for understanding societal organizing and resistance in Africa. In this aim, it is largely successful.” (Mary Kay Gugerty, Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Vol. 45 (4), August, 2016)

The Handbook of Civil Society in Africa

From the book reviews:Choice - Outstanding Academic Title in 2012“This is an excellent, challenging textbook as well as a valuable resource for historical information, problems, and student projects. The historical content is broad based, comprehensive, and reliable. Each chapter has extensive exercises, many taken directly from or based on historical sources … . Hints and solutions for all problems are given in an appendix. Thorough bibliography. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above.” (C. A. Gorini, Choice, Vol. 50 (3), November, 2012)“The book under review is a treasure chest of interesting theorems and problems in geometry together with their illuminating histories. … This is the kind of book that one would enjoy browsing through and reading while sitting relaxedly in an armchair without any paper or pencil and starting at almost any page or paragraph. It should be on the shelf of every lover of geometry.” (Mowaffaq Hajja, zbMATH, Vol. 1288, 2014)“This book belongs on the bookshelf of every geometer. … The authors have penned their book with students of geometry as well as science in mind. In fact, the book would serve well as a second year mathematics course in a classical liberal arts setting. … the book treats many interesting and beautiful problems, introducing powerful concepts along the way, and yet is written at a level suitable for an introductory course of geometry or even advanced mathematics.” (Alan S. McRae, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2013)“There is a lot of interesting material in this book, supplemented by a lot of very nice artwork and many interesting exercises … . I would think that any other college instructor … with an interest in geometry would also want a copy on his or her shelf.” (Mark Hunacek, The Mathematical Association of America, June, 2012)

Geometry by Its History

From the reviews:"Overall, this book is a valuable reference source. It is a good alternative to a general remote sensing textbook in the optical domain, because most of the underlying physical principles are given with sufficient detail to provide a good understanding of the applications and of the limitations of hyperspectral sensing. Overall it is a good quality work, with only a limited number of repetitions from one chapter to another, which is sometimes difficult to achieve in a multi-authored book." (GEOMATICA, 57:4, 2004)
