Reviews
More than any other textbook in retailing it encourages readers to obtain and confront the literature. The is an engagaing, somewhat unconventional text ... it contains within it the sense of interest and excitement too often lost in conventional textbooks ... I expect it to become the key text on the subject in geography. Urban Studies, Volume 40, page 861 Hopefully the book will excite more scholars to become interested in the field and, as a result, produce a stronger and more inclusive retail geography than has existed previously. Professional Geographer Reading Retail is absolutely recommended for those who want to enter the fascinating multicoloured world of retail geography. European Spatial Research and Policy ...quite simply, a stunningly accessible undergraduate text which seems destined to be the core text for many geography courses. If retail educators wish to expose their students to a vast range of interesting and important topics and to do so in a lively and accessible way then this would be the ideal text. It deserves to be found, and surely soon will be, on many an academic bookshelf. Tjidschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie Provides a stimulating and succinct text for students and researchers to begin reading the debates associated with the new retail geography. Progress in Human Geography This is a jam-packed book, full of ideas, data, and thought provoking perspectives on everything you want to know about retail geography (and more)... this book is about more than retailing - it resonates with broader questions in geography, planning, sociology, and cultural studies about the character of the contemporary economy.' Environment and Planning A 'This is the first of a new generation of behavior management textbooks that contextualizes essential features of the science of behavior within meaningful environments, including classroom, school, home, and community. The text lays out the essential elements of creating effective positive behavior support plans in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step fashion that is appropriate for both special and general educators. What distinguishes this text from others currently available is the way it consistently emphasizes the importance of simultaneously teaching social behavior and building supportive environments to promote the use of targeted social skills. A great introductory behavior management text for preservice teachers or companion text for advanced graduate coursework.' - Tim Lewis, PhD, Department of Special Education, University of Missouri 'This is a comprehensive handbook on the design of positive behavior supports. It is clearly written and filled with examples, and its content is linked to evidence-based strategies for addressing problem behavior. Practitioners will like this book because it coherently explains how to address problem behavior, and university instructors will like it because it does not oversimplify the complex process of designing positive behavior supports.' - Martha E. Snell, PhD, Curry School of Education, University of Virginia
