Handbook of Restorative Justice is a collection of original, cutting-edge essays that offer an insightful and critical assessment of the theory, principles and practices of restorative justice around the globe. This much-awaited volume is a response to the cry of students, scholars and practitioners of restorative justice, for a comprehensive resource about a practice that is radically transforming the way the human community responds to loss, trauma and harm. Its diverse essays not only explore the various methods of responding nonviolently to harms-done by persons, groups, global corporations and nation-states, but also examine the dimensions of restorative justice in relation to criminology, victimology, traumatology and feminist studies. In addition. They contain prescriptions for how communities might re-structure their family, school and workplace life according to restorative values. This Handbook is an essential tool for every serious student of criminal, social and restorative justice.

Conference on Graphs and Patterns in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

The Stony Brook Conference, 'Graphs and Patterns in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics', was dedicated to Dennis Sullivan in honor of his sixtieth birthday. The event's scientific content, which was suggested by Sullivan, was largely based on mini-courses and survey lectures. The main idea was to help researchers and graduate students in mathematics and theoretical physics who encounter graphs in their research to overcome conceptual barriers. The collection begins with Sullivan's paper, 'Sigma models and string topology', which describes a background algebraic structure for the sigma model based on algebraic topology and transversality. Other contributions to the volume were organized into five sections: Feynman Diagrams, Algebraic Structures, Manifolds: Invariants and Mirror Symmetry, Combinatorial Aspects of Dynamics, and Physics.These sections, along with more research-oriented articles, contain the following surveys: 'Feynman diagrams for pedestrians and mathematicians' by M. Polyak, 'Notes on universal algebra' by A. Voronov, 'Unimodal maps and hierarchical models' by M. Yampolsky, and 'Quantum geometry in action: big bang and black holes' by A. Ashtekar. This comprehensive volume is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in graph theory and its applications in mathematics and physics.

Graphs and Patterns in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

Sullivan (criminal justice, State U. of New York-Albany) explains that the criminal justice system of the upper Hudson River Valley was concerned with maintaining not just peaceful social relations, but also the highly profitable fur trade on which the colony depended. He examines the punishment practices of the Beverwijck/Albany court and how they changed with fluctuations in the fur trade and after the English conquest and imposition of their own law in 1664.
