New York Daily News Because it's such a fascinating family, it's a fascinating book, but it's not always a pretty story, and one has to admire Susan Cheever's courage in telling it....Her greatest gifts come across in her memoirs....Home Before Dark and Treetops have established her as a very accomplished writer.

A Family Memoir

Treetops

"If military units are to operate effectively in the population-centric operations of the 21st Century, as well as to combat sexual violence in war, the commanders, their staffs and their forces need to be properly prepared to meet the challenges they face, including understanding the gender aspects of operations. This book is therefore a timely and important contribution to that process and I commend it to those whose responsibility it is to train and prepare our soldiers, sailors, airmen/women and marines for operations."
General Sir Richard Shirreff, Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe (DCACEUR).
In this important and engaging book, the authors outline an enlightened narrative about UNSCR 1325 implementation for key stakeholders, including the military, women and civil society, international and government policy makers, and academia. A must read for anyone who works on the women, peace and security agenda.

From the reviews:

"This book deals with the main issues of nowadays debate about nanomaterials. It encompasses the papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on ‘Nanomaterials: environmental risks and benefits and emerging consumer products’ held in Faro, Portugal, April 2008. … In conclusion, we highly recommend the book to all scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders addressing the environmental and toxicological implications of nanomaterials." (Hanna Maes, Andreas Schaeffer, Henner Hollert and Hans Toni Ratte, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Vol. 16, 2009)

“CHIPS 2020 Volume 2 has sought to present the
latest developments in the most critical and promising areas relevant to energy
efficient electronics. … This book is suitable for the student, researcher or
recent graduate that wants to understand where the challenges lie in chips and
for managers, investors and policy makers. It is suitable for all and is
written with the issue of sustainability and engineering responsibility at its
core.” (EETimes Europe Analog, analog-eetimes.com, November, 2015)

"Annett grapples with what it truly means to be a fan. What are the 'complex flows and frictions' that propel certain shows to transcultural popularity? And what kind of world is it where teenage girls can be overheard describing the Holy Roman Empire as 'cute'? Annett watches the watchers, and examines the forces that create their subculture." - Jonathan Clements, author of Anime: A History

"This expansive and imaginative study of anime and fan communities takes on really big questions - and succeeds in whittling them down to size, steadily paring away the macrological framework of national histories, cultures, and territories, to expose the complex grain and weave of interactions between fans and animations. Annett generates new awareness of the challenges and possibilities of media environments by honing in on the key question: what can we do with animation?" - Thomas Lamarre, McGill University, Canada

From the reviews:“This book shows that the authors see it as opening the way for further study, and indeed they include very carefully thought out questions for further research. … Other students of life in Colonial North America will also find this a ‘must read’ book … . book is extensively referenced and represents a high level of scholarship. … scholars of mathematics education and its history in North America will find this book a gold mine of information and questions for further research.” (Robert George Stein, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 82, 2013)

From the reviews of the original French edition:"... The content is quite classical ... [...] The treatment is less classical: precise although unpedantic (rather far from the definition-theorem-corollary-style), it contains many interesting commentaries of epistemological, pedagogical, historical and even political nature. [...] The author gives frequent interesting hints on recent developments of mathematics connected to the concepts which are introduced. The Introduction also contains comments that are very unusual in a book on mathematical analysis, going from pedagogy to critique of the French scientific-military-industrial complex, but the sequence of ideas is introduced in such a way that readers are less surprised than they might be.J.

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This is an extremely full treatment of its topic, with a total of 23 chapters by different groups of authors … . ‘The book on hand is one of the few comprehensive works on the market covering the fundamentals of model-based fault diagnosis … ’. This is an impressively comprehensive and well-prepared work. Each chapter begins with an introduction and ends with a summary, and is followed by an extensive list of references." (Alex M. Andrew, Kybernetes, Vol. 34 (5), 2005) 
"This book presents descriptions of modern diagnosis methods which are based on control engineering. … the goal of the book is to present in a coherent way various research methods … . The book contains most of the modern control methods which are used in fault diagnosis and wide bibliographical information. The book is a good introduction to fault diagnosis and may be very useful for students, post graduate students, engineers and scientists who deal with industrial control systems to guarantee their safety." (Yuri N. Sankin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1074, 2005)
