Readers of criminological literature are presented with little more
than thumbnail sketches as to the social characteristics or
motivations of the authors. One learns their status, institutional
location, and supposed credentials. Rarely are we presented with
more detailed impressions of the authors as a combination of
positivist assumptions and notions of professional competence
seemingly render such information unimportant. However, increasing
numbers of critical scholars are becoming aware of authorship as an
issue; it matters who is addressing us. By taking these authors out
of their methodological framework, Critical Voices in Criminology
provides an opportunity for figures in and around critical
criminology to discuss their own intellectual journeys into and
within the discipline. The book offers the opportunity for
contributors to reflect on their work and consider what they did
not say. It also affords them the opportunity to describe their own
'channeling processes' by indicating how the pursuance of some
themes/topics 'seemed' appropriate, sensible, or realistic, while
others appeared less so, whether they internalized these particular
themes, or attempted to contest and/or replace them.

documents the interplay of new materials and technologies, costs

decision-making about our built environment over the last two
centuries. The author provides a succinct and readable survey of
the growth and development of British building which will be of
interest to all building specialists and those training for a

Understanding Atrocities is a wide-ranging collection of essays
bridging scholarly and community-based efforts to understand and
respond to the global, transhistorical problem of genocide. The
essays in this volume investigate how evolving, contemporary views
on mass atrocity frame and complicate the possibilities for the
understanding and prevention of genocide. The contributors ask,
among other things, what are the limits of the law, of history, of
literature, and of education in understanding and representing
genocidal violence? What are the challenges we face in teaching and
learning about extreme events such as these, and how does the
language we use contribute to or impair what can be taught and
learned about genocide? Who gets to decide if it's genocide and who
its victims are? And how does the demonization of perpetrators of
atrocity prevent us from confronting the complicity of others, or
of ourselves? Through a multi-focused and multidisciplinary
investigation of these questions, Understanding Atrocities
demonstrates the vibrancy and breadth of the contemporary state of
genocide studies. With contributions by: Amarnath Amarasingam,
Andrew R. Basso, Kristin Burnett, Lori Chambers, Laura Beth Cohen,
Travis Hay, Steven Leonard Jacobs, Lorraine Markotic, Sarah
Minslow, Donia Mounsef, Adam Muller, Scott W. Murray, Christopher
Powell, and Raffi Sarkissian
