“This book provides a lot of information about salaries, taxation, public spending, and exchange rates, among others, during Alexander the Great’s (356-323 B.C.) campaign in Asia. It is a very interesting read and an excellent source for economists, political scientists, policy makers, and historians. It is also a fascinating read for everyone who is interested in understanding one of the most important periods in human history. Dr. Kallianiotis, who is an expert both in public finance and in Greek history, is doing a great job in providing all the economic data and explaining how Alexander the Great spread, through his campaign, the Hellenic breakthroughs in science, philosophy, literature, medicine, and mathematics, among others, to most of the known world.” – Dr. Christos Pargianas, Associate Professor of Economics, University of Scranton, PA, USA

“Dr. Kallianiotis combines in a unique way different historians’ views in order to explain the Hellenic values. This book is an excellent source for economists, political leaders, policy makers, and historians as it addresses various aspects of the Alexander’s political history and economic policy with its surpluses. It also provides information on numismatics (currency, coins, and their values) which is important in facilitating price comparisons and exchange rates with respect to the U.S. dollar and the Greek drachma. Dr. Kallianiotis, who is a professor in finance, has done a superb job in providing us with the foundations and historic lessons from the Hellenic Studies in order to address today’s economic and social issues.” – Dr. Iordanis Petsas, Professor of Economics and Department Chair, Department of Economics and Finance, University of Scranton, PA, USA

“This book offers an impressive geographical coverage of the ways intercultural education has been conceptualised, practiced and debated across the world. It critically assesses the potential and limits of interculturalism as a policy framework for governing diversity and as a pedagogical tool. A true reference for anybody interested in the central question of our time: how to live together in diversity?” – Marco Antonsich, Loughborough University, Loughborough, England

“Intercultural Education: Critical Perspectives, Pedagogical Challenges and Promising Practices, edited by Cinzia Pica-Smith, Carmen N. Veloria, and Rina Manuela Contini, provides a strong international sense of how interculturality manifests in different educational contexts. The efforts at promoting intercultural understandings stands to benefit humanity by ensuring less social strife and perhaps enabling increased opportunities for all.

Postoperative care of children with heart disease is a complex endeavor with plenty of opportunities for mishaps. Clinical teams taking care of these patients are usually comprised of physicians and nurses with very diverse background and experience. This Pediatric Cardiac Postoperative Handbook addresses the need to provide a concise and practical text for quick reference while at the same time covering the wide palette of issues a provider confronts while taking care of these patients. An ample range of topics is covered, from basic concepts of cardiopulmonary bypass and the resulting systemic response to specific postoperative management of patients with biventricular and single ventricle defects. We believe it will be a much valued resource for novel and experienced clinical providers in the pediatric CICU in the international setting. Dr. Torres Pacheco and the distinguished team at Hospital Beneficencia Portuguesa should be commended for this fantastic achievement. – Ricardo Munoz, MD, FAAP, FCCM, FACC, Chief, Division of Cardiac Critical Care Medicine, Co-Director, Children’s National Heart Institute, Children’s National Hospital and Alejandro Lopez-Magallon, MD, Senior Cardiologist, Division of Cardiac Critical Care Medicine, Children’s National Hospital

“Heat and mass transfer processes in porous media under phase transition conditions have a great scientific and practical interest in solving many engineering and technical problems. In this connection, several important examples are used: food preservation by freezing technology; cryopreservation and cryosurgery; permafrost of natural soil in harsh-climate regions such as Canada, the United States and North-East Asia; thawing and refreezing of soil around buried pipe lines, etc…”READ MORE… – Professor Victor Melamud, Director of Ilan Ramon Youth Physics Center, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev

“The analysis of scientific and engineering literature in the area of heat and moisture transfer in porous media (in particular in soils) with phase changes reveals that, although relatively wide series of the periodical papers exist, considering different aspects of phase transitions in freezing soils, the number of books involving these directions of study is very restricted and were published in 1980’s to 1990’s…”READ MORE… – Professor Lev Khrustlev, Department of Geocryology, Moscow State University

“Parasomnia Dreaming is a fascinating and important book about the world of dreams emerging with abnormal sleep related behaviors and experiences – the parasomnias. Top experts contribute their research findings and valued clinical and neuroscience perspectives, along with perspectives from literature and the artistic creative process. The parasomnia dream reports will open many eyes and pique curiosity while setting the stage for this engrossing book.” – Carlos H. Schenck, M.D., Professor, University of Minnesota Medical School, Author, Sleep: The Mysteries, The Problems and The Solutions

“The wide continuum of dreaming, visionary, and dissociative phenomena associated with the multiple states of sleep — so well reflected here in Pagel’s volume — offers an important corrective to any simple reduction of these dream-like states to ordinary fantasy and daydreaming. It is only this wider continuum that helps to explain the importance of such states as sources of creativity and insight throughout traditional cultures.” – Harry T. Hunt, Professor Emeritus in Psychology, Brock University, Author of The Multiplicity of Dreams
