Review
This good resource includes individual authors who have familiar names and good reputations in the industry. This selection of topics is excellent with regard to devices and applications. Editor Skvarenina wisely has included the latest description of advanced motor and power control applications, offering this volume some staying power as a reference, as new technology and applications continue to emerge. Most of material is written at the upper academic level and would probably better satisfy the research or development engineer…

Review
Why do beliefs spread? traditions persist? customs survive? This collection proposes clever and thoughtful answers and it should inspire lively discussion as sociologists, anthropologists, and organizational scholars welcome their psychologist colleagues to the ongoing debate about culture.

Review
"If you could afford only one psychiatry book, this is it! The wealth of useful/practical information that this little book contains (and that could fit into your white coat pocket) is remarkable." --Doody's
"This is a splendid little (perhaps not so little) handbook with much to recommend it. It is intended for medical students, residents, and early career psychiatrists, but is also a useful reference for any clinician wanting easy access to an abundance of practical clinical information. It lives up
to the description on the cover of providing 'hands-on advice for managing psychiatric conditions'...Considerable thought and effort have been put into this handbook."--Journal of Clinical Psychiatry

Review
"The Handbook provides an engaging and accessible survey of current philosophical studies of rationality, and a useful up-to-date roadmap of state-of-the-art thinking on this enduring topicThis is an authoritative sourcebook. Whereas each chapter can be read on its own and the references within each essay direct the reader to further writings in that topic area, the selection and arrangement of the topics are thoughtful and well-designed. Each author is undoubtedly among the best qualified candidates to undertake his or her commissioned chapter, and most essays are consistently of high quality."-Jing Zhu, Philosophical Psychology

Philosophy of Science A-Z
Stathis Psillos
An alphabetically arranged guide to the philosophy of science.
While philosophy of science has always been an integral part of philosophy, since the beginning of the twentieth century it has developed its own structure and its fair share of technical vocabulary and problems.
Philosophy of Science A-Z gives concise, accurate and illuminating accounts of key positions, concepts, arguments and figures in the philosophy of science. It aids understanding of current debates, explains their historical development and connects them with broader philosophical issues. It presupposes little prior knowledge of philosophy of science and is equally useful to the beginner, the more advanced student and the general reader. Readers will find in it illuminating explanations, careful analysis, relevant examples, open problems and, last but not least, precise arguments. Philosophy of science is a flourishing discipline and Philosophy of Science A to Z is a practical and imaginative way into and through it.
