Book Reviews
“As a researcher I found this book as a pioneering and fundamental work of dynamic consumer theory. There is no other work which goes as deeply into this field than this book. It is not only an excellent reference of the field, but Dr Yeung, as the leading researcher of this field, introduced many new developments and results, some of which were not published before.” READ MORE… – Ferenc Szidarovszky, Professor, University of Pecs, Applied Mathematics Department, Hungary.

“This brilliantly written book should become required reading by the directors and staffs of medical liability insurance companies and all residency directors to use some of its main messages to help break the cycle of wasteful defensive medicine practices often perpetuated by senior physician mentors.” – Charles Aswad, M.D., President Emeritus, Medical Society of the State of New York, Board Member, Medical Liability Mutual Insurance Company (MLMIC)
“Clear; concise; accurate; understandable and optimistic. No quibbles. I like it, a lot!” – George D. Lundberg, M.D., Former Editor in Chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association
“In his book, Dr. Couch, who describes himself as a “radical independent pragmatic centrist,” describes the face of medical liability in the world of healthcare reform, in particular how health IT like electronic health records (EHRs) can influence care in ways that can drive healthcare costs and quality either up or down.” READ MORE… – Paul Anderson, Editor and director of ECRI Institute’s risk management and patient safety publications

“This is a very interesting book that brings the reader to the up-to-date state of knowledge in a variety of areas related to nanofluids. The first chapter describes the ways of preparation, crucial to the stability of the nanofluid. Lists of commercially available nanoparticles are also given. The next two chapters deal mostly with the enhancement of heat transfer in the presence of nanoparticles in a fluid. Measurements are examined and the available correlations since Maxwell are discussed. An up-to-date discussion of viscosity is presented in Chapter 5. The next chapters give a very good insight in capillary wetting, convective heat transfer and pool boiling, areas which are very interesting today. Chapter 9 presents a description of nanofluids in droplet-based microfluidics. Optical engineering applications are discussed in the next chapter while the book ends with a chapter in progress and challenges in nanofluids research. In general, it presents a very good opportunity for the reader to get a good insight in the field of nanofluid. Readers can be researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students but as it reads easily, anybody else that wants to get a good understanding of the field.” – Professor Marc J. Assael, FIChemE, CEng, CSci, DIC, Director, Laboratory of Thermophysical Properties & Environmental Processes, Department of Chemical Engineering, Aristotle University

“It is a great honor for me to recommend the publication and edition of this book entitled: Genetic, health and environmental impacts caused by glyphosate in Ecuador. The book offers a vast revision of knowledge with specific well-detailed research about the genetic, health and environmental impacts caused by glyphosate. Understanding the linkages between each of these interrelated impacts is of sum importance because it provides a holistic, yet detailed overview of the multiple cascading effects that glyphosate produces. Moreover, the book provides useful information about effective methods and techniques, which can be used for ongoing or future research to identify, monitor and consequently mitigate such diverse impacts. I consider that this book will be of great interests for practitioners and students in many of the related research areas, but also I would consider it important for policy and decision makers.” – Francisco Benítez Capistros, Ph.D. Fellow/Researcher

“Current issues in international trade…” explores the complexities of classical and emerging international trade issues, and the challenges arising from globalization. The collection of essays provides rigorous and insightful analysis that will be of interest for academics and practitioners.” – Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNCTAD
“The book delves into diverse issues on the evolving role of trade in the global economy of the twenty-first century. Spanning over current scenarios, analytical frameworks and methodologies, the book offers a fine balance between cutting -age theory and contemporary policy questions. Professor Das, in this present volume, provides a wholesome
food for thought to the readers.” – Partha Ray, Professor of Economics, Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta
“The chapters in the book offer theoretical as well as applied perspectives on many facets of trade and globalisation. The book covers a cornucopia of material and gives deep insights into many of the current problems of international economics. The editor has done a superb job and I strongly recommend this volume to those interested in this area.” – Krishnendu Gosh Dastidar, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India

“This treatise is an excellent review of the birth of organophosphorus chemistry with respect to the generation of C-P bonds. Dr. Quin has done a superb job in ferreting out the facts concerning the early work in this field in the 19th century. Four chapters compose the book with each chapter focusing mainly on work done by specific chemists.” READ MORE… – K. Darrell Berlin, Regents Professor, Oklahoma State University.
“The book by Louis DuBose Quin is a first of its kind in presenting the early development of phosphorus chemistry. It does so by considering the discoveries of the three chemists that introduced the world to organic phosphorus chemistry. These are the French chemist , Paul Thenard, who discovered the first organic phosphorus compound in 1845, trimethylphosphine.” READ MORE… – Dr. Robert Holmes, Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, Phosphorus, Sulfur and Silicon and the Related Elements, University of Massachusetts
“In this book Professor Quin engagingly summarizes the many seminal discoveries made by pioneers of phosphorus chemistry in the 19th century who established the foundations of this important field. His coverage is thorough and orderly, and includes not only the chemistry that worked (despite the limits of laboratory apparatus, analytical techniques and bonding concepts of the period) but he also includes a number of informative synthetic attempts that failed. The author’s very careful analysis of the relevant literature enabled him to make a convincing case for choosing August Wilhelm Hoffman as the founder of phosphorus chemistry; a choice that at first surprised me, as I am sure it will other phosphorus-oriented chemists as well. Professor Quin has provided a wide spectrum of chemists with a delightful review of a field of great importance in academic as well as a variety industrial laboratories.” – John G. Verkade, Ph.D., Iowa State University

“This is a fascinating study of an extraordinary man’s engagement with language and translation in today’s multifaceted world of intertwining cultures.” – Susan Bassnett, FRSL, Professor of Comparative Literature, Special Advisor in Translation Studies, Sub-Faculty of Modern Languages, University of Warwick
“Dalia Staponkutė interweaves literature, philosophy, and anthropology to make connections between the theory, practice and poetics of cultural translation. Particularly brilliant is the way she applies Bakhtin’s notion of the “chronotope of the road,” to unpack relationships of the body, travel, and translation in the writing of Alphonso Lingis.” – Stephanos Stephanides, FEA OSSI, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Cyprus
“While translators traverse numerous sources, such as dictionaries, metaphoric variations that never result in a copy of the original, this text is a way of telling the “traveler” that there is an intertwining of sense forming a mutual “transcreation.” The latter allows the traveler to form relationships with the other that neither has suspected. According to Staponkutė, Lingis adds another dimension to encounters by travelers across texts and cultures of different continents and peoples: body comportment. It is at this level that the author points to the ways that bodies “speak” and the ways they find some immediate sense and its linguistic inadequacies. There is a “transcreational intercorporeity” that spontaneously discloses and obscures our own self understanding and the understanding of the other – leaving us with a continuous wonder and fascination to learn more of what was still “unsaid” and what can never be fully said.” – Algis Mickunas, Professor of Philosophy, Ohio University
