 McGill-Queen's University Press Writing in the Flesh: Essays on My Lives, My Bodies, My Families, My Places, My Movies Uus! GTIN: 9780228027348 Raamatud A confessional of the unrepentant, Writing in the Flesh caresses taboos, confronts sentimentality, and recasts memory. Thomas Waugh writes the body back into the intellectual autobiography, revealing the unsettling arguments and politics born from the tastes and desires of his own carnal vessel. Shaped by the arc of a life still in full flight a preachers kid who grows up to be a porn teacher and, along the way, a New Left activist and expert in documentary, queer, and Canadian film Writing in the Flesh confronts the struggle of writing the self. Against the backdrop of Montreals Plateau-Mont-Royal, New York City, and the Punjab, Waugh brings places and people to life in profound and unexpected ways. This is also a memoir about history, the archive, and ephemera: Waugh mines his personal annals for photographs, film stills, testimony, and correspondence to reconstitute the voices of blood and chosen families, to hedge against erratic memory, and to give sense to life. Indebted to the tradition of queer first-person rabble rousers, Waugh takes us on a journey through seven decades of queer relations: the erotic, the pedagogical, the familial, the romantic, the platonic, and, of course, the filmic. Sexy, cinematic, encyclopedic: this vivacious vita celebrates a life filled with family and chosen family, movies, and beefcake. At the same time these pages are, as the title declares, a writing in the flesh: the unveiling of the fraught, vulnerable, declining yet still robust and pleasured body at the very centre of it all. Writing in the Flesh confronts the struggle of writing the self, recounting Waughs transitions and transformations from preachers kid to porn teacher, New Left activist, and expert in documentary, queer, and Canadian film.

 Taylor & Francis Ltd Untangling the Political Roots of Immigration and Inequality in the United States Uus! GTIN: 9781032811857 Raamatud Untangling the Political Roots of Immigration and Inequality in the United States examines the causes, consequences, and politics of mass migration and growing inequality by investigating the case of the United States the quintessential immigrant nation. We live in a period when more people are migrating from the countryside to the city, from city to city, and from country to country than at nearly anytime in human history. At the same time, we see sharp increases in wealth and income inequality. These two trends fuel populist movements on both the left and right, topping political agendas across the world.Untangling the Political Roots of Immigration and Inequality in the United States examines the causes, consequences, and politics of mass migration and growing inequality by investigating the case of the United States the quintessential immigrant nation. While scholars, policy makers, and advocates have put forth a variety of explanations, many misdiagnose the causes and put forward remedies that treat symptoms. This book looks to the root causes of mass migration and intensifying inequality, arguing that they are two sides of the same coin resulting from rapacious forms of capitalist accumulation and imperialist interventionism. Developing a broadly left analytic framework grounded in elements of Marxist theory and political science, two periods are examined 18701925 and 19702025 when the proportion of immigrants in the US peaked at 15% of the total population, the US experienced steep inequality and political polarization, immigration and inequality became contentious political issues that generated sharp conflict, and immigrants and workers organized mass movements that advanced radical politics and transformative change. This book contains a wealth of information and elevates valuable lessons for scholars, policy makers, and organizers interested in understanding these trends and forging equitable and just solutions today.

 John Wiley & Sons Inc Ethics: An Introduction through Primary Texts and Short Narratives Uus! GTIN: 9781394374113 Raamatud "This book aspires to do three things: (a) first it presents first order metaethical concepts that are necessary in order to confront normative ethical thinkers in their complexity; (b) it presents the reader with three abridged texts by prominent ethical philosophers in the Western Tradition (Aristotle, Kant, and Mill). All three abridged versions are centered around central arguments in their texts. This helps the student focus upon the most important arguments in order to encourage engagement with what are considered to be their most central claims. In addition, Aristotle and Kant are presented in new translations by the editor using language that both fits with contemporary philosophical discussions of the same and language that is more readily accessible to readers in the twenty-first century. This is how primary texts are presented in this text. The third goal of the book (c) is to present narrative case studies that serve to allow the student to apply what they have learned to "real world" examples that they might confront in their daily lives. It has generally though to be good pedagogical methodology to have students engage with primary texts in a line-by-line fashion around the central arguments they are presenting. This text offers three prominent opportunities to do just that regarding authors central to Virtue Ethics, Deontological Ethics, and Utilitarian Ethics. After the chapter for each author (first order metaethics and normative ethics), there are some exercises that are constructed to encourage personal interaction with each author by themselves and in relation to one another. This builds skills for the reader for Part Two of the book as well as Appendix Two (the applications)"-- Provided by publisher. An innovative introduction to ethics through philosophy and fiction Ethics: An Introduction with Primary Texts and Short Fictive Narratives offers a distinctive and pedagogically effective approach to ethical inquiry. Fostering a deep understanding of theory and its practical implications, the book begins with an accessible introduction to metaethics, addressing the foundational concepts that ground moral reasoning. It then moves through carefully abridged and newly translated selections from three pillars of Western ethical theoryAristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Kant's Groundwork, and Mill's Utilitarianism. These translations have been curated to highlight the central arguments and transitions within each thinker's system, allowing readers to engage directly and critically with major ethical frameworks. What sets this volume apart is its innovative integration of the short fictional narratives and poetry of Michael Boylan, richly illustrating the dimensions of moral philosophy. These narratives serve as applied ethics case studies, encouraging readers to bridge theoretical knowledge with real-life decision-making. Structured exercises, study questions, and feedback sections support active learning, while the philosophical treatment of fictive narrative invites reflection on the nature and power of storytelling in ethical discourse. Authored by a leading scholar with expertise in both ethical theory and creative writing. Ethics: An Introduction with Primary Texts and Short Narratives: Enables direct engagement with core arguments of Virtue Ethics, Deontology, and Utilitarianism Applies the concept of fictive narrative philosophy to stimulate reflective and critical ethical reasoning Provides a unified conceptual approach through the Personal and Shared Community Worldview Imperatives Employs a structured, progressive framework that integrates metaethics, normative theory, and applied ethics Supports interdisciplinary learning with content relevant to philosophy, literature, political science, and law Ethics: An Introduction with Primary Texts and Short Narratives is ideal for introductory and intermediate undergraduate courses such as Introduction to Ethics, Ethical Theory, and Applied Ethics in degree programs across the humanities, social sciences, business, pre-professional studies, and other fields where ethical literacy is an essential skill.

 Inter-Varsity Press Message of Zechariah: Your Kingdom Come Uus! GTIN: 9781789744378 Raamatud Zechariah the prophet's preaching was driven by the conviction that God's kingdom would come, and his will be done, whatever obstacles human beings might put in his way. Living in the small province of Yehud in the sixth century BC, Zechariah was thoroughly engaged with the realities of his own day, but never overwhelmed by them. He knew that life was to be lived in the light of the coming day when there would be 'one LORD, and his name the only name' and when this God would be 'king over the whole earth' (Zech. 14:9). This unwavering conviction gives the book of Zechariah its special character and unifies its diverse visions and oracles. Barry Webb's masterful and perceptive exposition challenges us to make Zechariah's conviction our own and focuses our longing for God's kingdom on the person of Jesus the Messiah.

Hosea's sombre portrait of the human condition is our lesson in pain. All of us have played the harlot by forsaking God and his ways. The picture is not pretty but it's true. Yet Hosea's clear illustration of God's love for us brings joy. While we are yet sinners, God comes to us and loves us. Derek Kidner imaginatively takes us through the unfolding story of Hosea and his wife Gomer, explaining the basic message, pointing out the subtleties, and encouraging readers to live lives worthy of the God who loves the loveless.

From there until the end of the war he spent more time on the run than in PoW camps. He made seven escape attempts in Italy and two in Germany.

This is followed by an overview which describes the life and conditions in the PoW camps in Europe, subsequential chapters outline the dramatic stories of his nine escape attempts His evasion skills were reflective of the LRDG motto Not by Strength, by Guile. Holland was a persistent and determined escaper who preferred to operate alone to bring less attention to himself. He gave his whole focus to the problems of planning escapes and was alert to seizing every opportunity and, if necessary, creating one. Holland spoke both German and Italian and was very stoic in all he did. He fought with the Italian partisans for several months and on another occasion was intercepted by a German unit in Italy and was given the option of being returned to a PoW camp or being imbedded with them as an interpreter. The offer was accepted but after six weeks he found the opportunity to escape again. Later in Germany he stole a Colonels staff car and almost made it to the Swiss border before being captured at the final checkpoint. This is an engaging and dramatic story of an intelligent and resourceful man who utilised all his LRDG Special Forces skills to help evade the enemy and win his eventual freedom.

 Taylor & Francis Ltd Myanmars Post-Coup Foreign Policy: Weathering Isolation and Sanctions Uus! GTIN: 9781032737874 Raamatud Passeri unpacks the highly polarized and dysfunctional reaction of the international community vis-a-vis Myanmars 2021 military coup, as well as the strategy utilized by the ruling junta to counter the diplomatic fallout of the power grab and ensuing civil war.This book shows that Myanmars military-installed regime is neither irrational in its foreign policy choices nor marginalized on the global stage due to Western sanctions and isolation. Quite on the contrary, the troubled and conflict-prone Southeast Asian country currently enjoys a growing geopolitical centrality in the region and beyond, rooted in its position as a gateway to the increasingly contested Indo-Pacific, which allowed the junta to establish intimate ties with key countries such as China, Russia, India, and Japan. It challenges a series of cliches and prejudices that characterize the ongoing debate on the international dimension of the Myanmar crisis.A vital read for academics and scholars interested in Myanmars relations with the outside world, international relations, and political science.

GTIN: 9781071923122 Raamatud "Drugs and the Neuroscience of Behavior: An Introduction to Psychopharmacology, fourth edition, provides broad coverage of the fundamental concepts and principles of psychopharmacology. The material is approachable for undergraduate students without a strong background in neuroscience and well suited for those in psychology and other disciplines in the behavioral and social sciences. The book covers how drugs are taken and travel through the body, their actions in the brain, and their many behavioral andphysiological effects. The book begins with coverage of basic pharmacology and the nervous system to help us understand the use, actions, and effects of different classes of drugs in subsequent chapters. This approach facilitates a conceptual understanding of the effects of drugs we find in humans and animals. Along the way, students learn about the experimental techniques researchers use to study psychoactive drugs. The rapid advances in psychopharmacology make another edition of this book necessary. For example, at the time the third edition was written, psychedelic drugs for depression were mostly academic theory, but now we find ketamine an FDA-approved antidepressant with ketamine clinics open across the United States. At the time of writing the current edition, use of nicotine pouches has grown, psychedelics are commonly used in microdoses, and gabapentin is becoming a household name. We have many new treatments for mental disorders, most using novel pharmacological approaches. There is a lot to keep up on, and I continued to add current information, such as the FDA's declined approval of MDMA for PTSD or the approval of the novel antipsychotic drug xanomeline tropsium, right up until the production stage of the book. Beyond these updates, many other topics received expanded coverage, such as factors affecting a drug's passage through the blood-brain barrier or risk factors for substance use disorders. Thus, the revisions for this fourth edition are extensive"-- Provided by publisher.

The text discusses occupational issues suchas burnout, compassion fatigue (CF), secondary traumatic stress (STS), and vicarious traumatization (VT). In this chapter, the author shares her personal beliefs about practitioner wellness including the necessity to individualize self-care and organizational practices to promote school social worker (SSW) well-being, the worthiness of practitioners to consistently experience well-being, the primacy of the helper in the helping relationship, and the need for a partnership between practitioners and organizations to ensure SSW wellness"-- Provided by publisher. School-based practitioners, like other front-line mental health workers, have been under increased pressure and stress as the demand for their services continues to increase.

Including stories from Paschall's decades of experience as a practicing SSW, the book discusses Social Work within the education system and identifies various occupational hazards--from burnout and compassion fatigue to secondary traumatic stress and vicarious traumatization.

 Oxford University Press Inc Oxford Handbook of the Russian Novel Uus! GTIN: 9780197520857 Raamatud The Russian novel remains a subject of enduring interest for scholars, students, and general audiences. Russian novels were initially influenced by the parallel traditions of novel-writing in Britain, France, and Germany, but the Russian novel exists as its own tradition and asserts its own identity as a literary form. To read a Russian novel often requires the fortitude to traverse many hundreds of pages and to consider profound political, philosophical, and metaphysical questions. The best-known Russian novels are also compulsively readable, providing a fascinating window into Russian culture and society at different historical periods. Readers of Russian novels marvel at the fictional world-building of innovative writers who created compelling characters and settings, realized through brilliant storytelling and stylistic virtuosity. Major Russian novelists such as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Nabokov continue to be popular and to carry intellectual prestige. But the tradition of the Russian novel extends well beyond these familiar authors and their works. This Oxford Handbook draws from a valuable tradition of critical commentary dating back to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and builds upon important earlier scholarship but significantly updates our understanding of the Russian novel: showcasing newer interpretive paradigms, considering works outside the canon, and extending the story of the Russian novel through Soviet times and up to the varied literary landscape of the present. The chapters also explore an increasingly expansive view of what constitutes a Russian novel, part of ongoing efforts to communicate our evolving understanding of the tradition. Autorid: Julie A.

 University of Toronto Press Governing Military Sacrifice: Drones, Privatization, and the Future of War Uus! GTIN: 9781487510886 Raamatud Governing Military Sacrifice examines the deterioration of the relationship between citizen-soldiering and military sacrifice. As a key historical archetype, the citizen-soldier has come to represent the highest expression of devotion for the nation in cultural imaginings of war. However, this book asks if bloodshed today even requires this offering of the self. This work explores the social, ethical, and political implications of the desire to enact violence in a post-sacrificial world.Following the Vietnam War, casualty-aversion and a political intolerance for wartime deaths and injuries turned military sacrifice from a simple assumption to an increasingly contested idea. As a result, military sacrifice became governed. Sociologist and international relations scholar Bianca Baggiarini argues that military privatization and the usage of drones in warfare emerged as related or parallel measures to exercise control over sacrifice. Drawing on Foucauldian discourse analysis and interview data with drone pilots, soldiers, veterans, and defence professionals, the book traces the decay of the sacrificial cults and idioms surrounding the citizen-soldier.When military sacrifice is no longer an assumed feature of war, it radically transforms the social and political meaning of bodies-in-war. Altering how we understand and witness war, technological transformations create an “anti-social” version of conflict which constrains our ability to critique and prevent its outbreak. Governing Military Sacrifice thus inquires whether the future of war may be found in a return to the past. Autorid: Bianca Baggiarini | 1 | 46,00 € | Vaata | ||

 University of Minnesota Press Thinking Further: Fragments of Communicology Uus! GTIN: 9781517919207 Raamatud The first English-language translation of Vilém Flusser's final series of lectures: the definitive introduction to his methods and ideas in new media theory In summer 1991, shortly before his death, Vilém Flusser gave a series of lectures as guest professor at Ruhr University Bochum at the invitation of Friedrich Kittler. Flusser intended for these lectures to be the definitive introduction to his "communicology," the study of human communication and the means by which acquired information is saved, processed, and passed on. In Thinking Further, Aaron Jaffe and Michael F. Miller have curated "fragments" from these lectures first published in German in 2008 to present the most exciting and timely parts of Flusser's foundational contributions to what is now known as media studies. These fragments capture Flusser's engagements with a wide range of theories, approaches, and interventions, including ecocriticism, posthumanities, game theory, cybernetics, and translinguistic exchanges. Offering sustained engagements with the ideas of Walter Benjamin, Michel Foucault, Michel Serres, and Jean Baudrillard, Thinking Further models possibilities for thinking through and clarifying the most obscure and obdurate implications of technology and modernity. As they demonstrate Flusser's contextual positionality and antiuniversalism, the writings presented here also underscore the pleasures and the power of his aphoristic style. Focusing less on Flusser-as-philosopher and more on his role as wry sage at the end of history, Thinking Further is a comprehensive but approachable introduction to his boundary-transcending exploration of the possibilities for communication, writing, and the human condition. Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly. Autorid: Vilém Flusser, Aaron Jaffe, Michael F. Miller, Silvia Wagnermaier, Siegfried Zielinski, Friedrich A.
