WW Norton & Co A Hackers Mind
Book SynopsisIt's not just computers—hacking is everywhere. Legendary cybersecurity expert and New York Times best-selling author Bruce Schneier reveals how using a hacker’s mindset can change how you think about your life and the world.Trade Review"A Hacker's Mind… sheds vital light on the beginnings of our journey into an increasingly complex world." -- Becky Hogge - Financial Times"Schneier sees everything from tax avoidance to electoral gerrymandering as hacking and suggests that the hackers we should worry about are not teenagers in hooded sweatshirts, but accountants, lawyers and lobbyists in suits. " -- Ethan Zuckerman - Prospect"An essential new perspective on hacking: the bad and the ugly, but also a surprisingly optimistic way of using a hacker mentality to solve society’s complex problems." -- Marietje Schaake, international policy director at Stanford University Cyber Policy Centre and member of European Parliament, 2009–2019"A Hacker’s Mind brilliantly explains how our society and democracy are being shaped by people taking the ‘hacking’ mentality into realms that weren’t designed to be hacked. Bruce Schneier shows how hacking, the tool of the rebel and the outsider, can also be used by the rich and powerful to win in business and politics, at great cost to the civic commitment needed for our free society. A great read and an important book!" -- Timothy H. Edgar, author of Beyond Snowden"They say that rules are made to be broken, but more often rules are gamed, finessed, worked around, or subverted—in short, hacked. No one is better equipped than Bruce Schneier to explain how this often-perverse use of human ingenuity can undermine the institutions that civilized life depends on. A Hacker’s Mind is an important source of new insights on the forces that can sap the vigor and integrity of modern society." -- Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of Rationality

WW Norton & Co The Once and Future Sex
Book SynopsisA vibrant and illuminating exploration of medieval thinking on women’s beauty, sexuality and behaviourTrade Review"[An] eye-opening and provocative account of the lives of women in the Middle Ages…[Janega] builds a convincing picture of the positive and resourceful part that women played in medieval society, not only as adjuncts to their husbands and fathers, but in their own right." -- Christina Hardyment - The Times"Both the subject matter and the author’s engaging conversational style make this a book of many delights… very entertaining" -- Gillian Kenny - The Spectator"A robust and well-sourced academic book. The primary sources Janega draws on are remarkable in their variety… There are colourful anecdotes on almost every page" -- Rachel Cunliffe - The New Statesman"Provocative, colloquial and entertaining.. As The Once and Future Sex makes clear, misogyny, oppression and conflicted ideas about sexuality and desire have not vanished, they just now take different forms." -- Carolyne Larrington - The Times Literary Supplement"Entertaining and revealing... Janega skilfully weaves a modern cultural commentary through her research into the medieval world, highlighting similarities and differences to today's world for women and focussing our attention on the importance of analysing history as a way to understand the present. " -- Emily Staniforth - All About History"[A] lively exploration of medieval women’s social roles" -- Laura Kalas - The Conversation"A hugely entertaining and informative account of medieval thinking about women…this is a highly rewarding read, which reminds us that we can only tackle present injustices if we remember that there is nothing universal about the ways in which people treat one another." -- Hannah Skoda - BBC History Magazine"The Once and Future Sex is a bracing and witty exploration of how gender is constructed. Eleanor Janega shows it is high time we stop using 'medieval' as a pejorative and we stop patting ourselves on the back for our supposed progress. Combining incisive cultural criticism, meticulous research, and juicy historical tidbits, The Once and Future Sex proves that the path towards a more equitable future can be found by way of the medieval past." -- Shelley Puhak, author of The Dark Queens"A startling rethinking of why the medieval past still matters. Eleanor Janega tells how women’s roles are fundamentally constructed and the ways they have both changed over time and unfortunately stayed the same. With erudition and humour, this book offers the reader a perfect case study of how a fuller accounting of the past opens up new, better possible worlds." -- Matthew Gabriele, co-author of The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe"In this witty, entertaining, and highly learned book, packed full of colourful characters and the texture of a long-past time, Eleanor Janega never loses sight of the bigger picture: how these old ideas underpin our own conceptions of gender and how modern conceits of progress are no less deeply flawed than those of the past." -- Patrick Wyman, author of The Verge and host of The History of Tides podcast"Reading this book is like hanging out with your brilliant, hilarious historian friend, raging together at misogyny’s extraordinary adaptability over time and plotting how to change the world once and for all." -- Carissa Harris, author of Obscene Pedagogies

Book SynopsisA vital new moral perspective on the climate change debate.Trade Review"In Climate Matters John Broome brings his lucid writing, sparkling insights, and deep moral seriousness to the greatest moral challenge of our time. This is practical ethics at its most brilliant and its most significant." -- Peter Singer, Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics, Princeton University"Climate Matters takes up where most books about global warming leave off. John Broome writes clearly and thoughtfully about the most pressing questions of our time." -- Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe"Broome applies ethical principles logically to private moral behavior and sound government policy on climate change, with interesting and sometimes surprising results. I want to argue with some of it, and climate change is worth arguing about." -- Ross Garnaut, former climate change advisor for the Australian government"How refreshing to have John Broome, an economist, argue that we should incorporate ethics in climate policy formation." -- Lester R. Brown, president of Earth Policy Institute and author of World on the Edge"Unmanaged climate change raises profound ethical, policy, and personal issues which must be faced directly. John Broome, one of the outstanding moral philosophers of our times, presents the issues and his conclusions in a most thoughtful, accessible, practical, and compelling way. A vitally important contribution." -- Nicholas Stern, president of the British Academy and chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics"For me (and for many others, I suspect) it is important to see this ethical side of climate change examined carefully by a skilled philosopher." -- Martin Weitzman, Professor of Economics, Harvard University"John Broome is uniquely qualified to help us think through some of the more important questions. His new book is sometimes controversial and surprising, but always insightful and clear." -- James Garvey - the Times Literary Supplement

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ernst Bloch
Book SynopsisErnst Bloch is perhaps best known for his subtle and imaginative investigation of utopias and utopianism, but his work also provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of western culture, politics and society. Yet, because he has not been one of easiest of writers to read his full contribution has not been widely acknowledged. Block developed a complex conceptual framework, and presented this in a prose style which many have found to verge on the impenetrable.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Stubborn Particulars of Social Psychology
Book SynopsisThe `Stubborn Particulars'' of Social Psychology gives students an alternative approach to social psychology which acknowledges the limits of shared understandings often imposed by class, race, culture, nationality, ethnicity, language and gender. Frances Cherry shows how the generation of hypotheses, experimental practice, the interpretation of results and the process of scientific communication itself are equally framed by historical and cutural context. She discusses how to begin to understand one''s own biases and prejudices, and how we create and make sense of our own social psychology as an engaged social critic, rather than as some idealised `objective'' scientist. The `Stubborn Particulars'' of Social Psychology should be required reading for all social psychology students as an antidote to their course text.Trade Review`Students see this book as one that takes them inside the workings of science, revealing the science of social psychology as an interpretive endeavor, and pointing up, chapter after chapter, the importance of language and cultural context in the making of social psychological knowledge. The "Stubborn Particulars" of Social Psychology engages students in the processes of productive and constructive critical thinking.' - Betty Bayer, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva, New YorkTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Permissions Introduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Men Women Passion and Power
Book SynopsisPsychoanalytic theory has often found it difficult to come to terms with issues of power within gender relations. Both theory and clinical practice have tended to replicate the cultural idealization of men and the denigration of women, splitting masculinity and femininity between the sexes in a way which depletes both. In Men, Women, Passion and Power, Marie Maguire argues that it is only when psychoanalysis integrates the male and female in its theorizing that the possibility of a more balanced and fluid psychological relation between the sexes will emerge. Making detailed use of case material, she introduces the reader to the contemporary debates about sexuality and explores them with sensitivity from a feminist viewpoint. Looking at such topics as false memories of sexual abuse, perverse sexuality, homosexuality, pornography and bulimia, she shows how current thinking is trammelled by sexist, homophobic and culturally biased assumptions about gender identity and sexual orientation. Trade Review'Marie Maguire brings a fresh and feminist perspective to the way psychoanalysis and its theoreticians have handled the basic issues of 'Men, Women, Passion and Power.'' - Self and SocietyTable of ContentsTheories of female and male sexuality; sexual controversy; from the penis to the womb - male sexuality; what do women want?; contemporary debates in clinical context; are men really fragile?; the power of female sexuality; gender in the transference; false memories of sexual abuse?; male and female perversions?; is homosexuality pathological?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Unhealthy Societies
Book SynopsisAmong the developed countries it is not the richest societies which have the best health, but those which have the smallest income differences between rich and poor. Inequality and relative poverty have absolute effects: they increase death rates. But why? How can smaller income differences raise average life expectancy?Using examples from the USA, Britain, Japan and Eastern Europe, and bringing together evidence from the social and medical sciences, Unhealthy Socities provides the explanation. Healthy, egalitarian societies are more socially cohesive. They have a stronger community life and suffer fewer of the corrosive effects of inequality. As well as inequality weakening the social fabric, damaging health and increasing crime rates, Unhealthy Societies shows that social cohesion is crucial to the quality of life.The contrast between the material success and social failure of modern societies marks an imbalance which needs attention. The relationship betweeTrade Review'Unhealthy Societies is much more than another book on inequalities in health - it provides an elegantly argued treatise on the problems facing contemporary societies ...

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Inner World of Trauma
Book SynopsisDonald Kalsched explores the interior world of dream and fantasy images encountered in therapy with people who have suffered unbearable life experiences. He shows how, in an ironical twist of psychical life, the very images which are generated to defend the self can become malevolent and destructive, resulting in further trauma for the person. Why and how this happens are the questions the book sets out to answer. Drawing on detailed clinical material, the author gives special attention to the problems of addiction and psychosomatic disorder, as well as the broad topic of dissociation and its treatment. By focusing on the archaic and primitive defenses of the self he connects Jungian theory and practice with contemporary object relations theory and dissociation theory. At the same time, he shows how a Jungian understanding of the universal images of myth and folklore can illuminate treatment of the traumatised patient. Trauma is about the rupture of those developmental transitions that make life worth living. Donald Kalsched sees this as a spiritual problem as well as a psychological one and in The Inner World of Trauma he provides a compelling insight into how an inner self-care system tries to save the personal spirit.Trade Review'This book makes exciting reading. Scholarship linking many different schools of psychotherapists is combined imaginatively with the main theory and with clinical examples ...

Book SynopsisThis thorough revision of the highly successful first edition of Life-Span Development offers the reader a wide-ranging and thought provoking account of human development throughout the lifespan. The lifespan approach emphasises that development does not stop when we cease to be adolescents but goes on throughout adulthood and into old age. In initial chapters Leonie Sugarman outlines the issues surrounding the notion of development and how it can be studied, including reviews of the work of key theorists Erikson, Levinson and Gould. She goes on to consider the different ways in which the life course can be construed: as a series of age-related stages; as a cumulative sequence; as a series of developmental tasks; as a series of key life events and transitions or as a narrative construction which creates a sense of dynamic continuity. A final chapter looks at how people cope, the resources that are available and the theoretical and practical issues regarding interventions to aTrade Review"In a relatively short book it is quite remarkable how many concepts, theories and perspectives are described with such clarity, detail and critique. ...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Jungian Psychotherapy and Contemporary Infant Research
Book SynopsisInfant research observations and hypotheses have raised serious questions about previous mainstream psychoanalytic theories of earliest childhood development. In Jungian Psychotherapy and Contemporary Infant Research, Mario Jacoby looks at how these observations are relevant to psychotherapeutic and Jungian analytical practice. Using recent findings in infant research, along with practical examples from therapeutic practice, he shows how early emotional exchange processes, though becoming superimposed in adult life by rational control and various defenses, remain operative and become reactivated in situations of intimacy.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Marx for a PostCommunist Era On Poverty Corruption and Banality Ideas
Book SynopsisWas Marxism a variety of German Idealist self-actualization in economic form? A deeply flawed blueprint for social engineering? A catechism for post-colonial insurgencies? the intellectual foundations of modern social democracy? In this wide ranging summation, Sullivan tackles the multi-tentacled reach of Marx''s legacy, and explores both the limits and the lasting significance of his ideas. Structured around three obstacles to freedom - poverty, corruption and banality - the work engages both Marx and his critics in addressing unresolved issues of the current social and political order. As such, the work, after two introductory chapters, leaves behind Marxology and its familiar cast of characters (Bernstein, Kautsky, Adorno, Lukacs, Fanon, Horkheimer, Marcuse, etc.) to address both neo-Marxist and non-Marxist interpretations of these obstacles. These include growth-led poverty alleviation, human capital theory, current debates on rent-seeking and public choice theory, weakneTrade Review'The strengths of this book are its lively style and sense of engagement with a broad range of ideas and authors in the Marxist tradition.' - Terrell Carver, University of BristolTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Preface 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Sex and Repression in Savage Society
Book SynopsisDuring the First World War the pioneer anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski found himself stranded on the Trobriand Islands, off the eastern coast of New Guinea. By living among the people he studied there, speaking their language and participating in their activities, he invented what became known as 'participant-observation'. This new type of ethnographic study was to have a huge impact on the emerging discipline of anthropology. In Sex and Repression in Savage Society Malinowski applied his experiences on the Trobriand Islands to the study of sexuality, and the attendant issues of eroticism, obscenity, incest, oppression, power and parenthood. In so doing, he both utilized and challenged the psychoanalytical methods being popularized at the time in Europe by Freud and others. The result is a unique and brilliant book that, though revolutionary when first published, has since become a standard work on the psychology of sex.Trade Review'No writer of our times has done more than Bronislaw Malinowski to bring together in single comprehension the warm reality of human living and the cool abstractions of science.' - Robert Redfield'The present essay attempts to put Freud's theories to the test by examining them in the light of the mental habits of the harmless Trobrianders ... Some four years' contact with Melanesians, backed by the power to converse with them freely, gives Malinowski the best right to be heard as a reporter of facts which, it must be admitted, would escape nine trained observers out of every ten.' - The Times Literary Supplement'This work is a most important contribution to anthropology and psychology, and it will be long before our textbooks are brought up to the standard which is henceforth indispensable.' - Saturday Review'Malinowski altered the whole mode and purpose of ethnographic enquiry.' - Edmund Leach'From the anthropological point of view at least, it is a pioneering piece of work I believe that [my arguments] raise important issues which will sooner or later have to be considered by the biologist and animal psychologist, as well as by the student of culture.' - Bronislaw Malinowski'No writer of our times has done more than Bronislaw Malinowski to bring together in single comprehension the warm reality of human living and the cool abstractions of science.' - Robert RedfieldTable of ContentsPart 1 The Formation of a Complex; Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM; Chapter 2 THE FAMILY IN FATHER-RIGHT AND MOTHER-RIGHT; Chapter 3 THE FIRST STAGE OF THE FAMILY DRAMA; Chapter 4 FATHERHOOD IN MOTHER-RIGHT; Chapter 5 INFANTILE SEXUALITY; Chapter 6 APPRENTICESHIP TO LIFE; Chapter 7 THE SEXUALITY OF LATER CHILDHOOD; Chapter 8 PUBERTY; Chapter 9 THE COMPLEX OF MOTHER-RIGHT; Part 2 The Mirror of Tradition; Chapter 10 COMPLEX AND MYTH IN MOTHER-RIGHT; Chapter 11 DISEASE AND PERVERSION; Chapter 12 DREAMS AND DEEDS; Chapter 13 OBSCENITY AND MYTH; Part 3 Psycho-analysis and Anthropology; Chapter 14 THE RIFT BETWEEN PSYCHO-ANALYSIS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE; Chapter 15 A ‘REPRESSED COMPLEX’; Chapter 16 ‘THE PRIMORDIAL CAUSE OF CULTURE’; Chapter 17 THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE PARRICIDE; Chapter 18 5 THE ORIGINAL PARRICIDE ANALYSED; Chapter 19 COMPLEX OR SENTIMENT?; Part 4 Instinct and Culture; Chapter 20 THE TRANSITION FROM NATURE TO CULTURE; Chapter 21 THE FAMILY AS THE CRADLE OF NASCENT CULTURE; Chapter 22 RUT AND MATING IN ANIMAL AND MAN; Chapter 23 MARITAL RELATIONS; Chapter 24 PARENTAL LOVE; Chapter 25 THE PERSISTENCE OF FAMILY TIES IN MAN; Chapter 26 THE PLASTICITY OF HUMAN INSTINCTS; Chapter 27 FROM INSTINCT TO SENTIMENT; Chapter 28 MOTHERHOOD AND THE TEMPTATIONS OF INCEST; Chapter 29 AUTHORITY AND REPRESSION; Chapter 30 FATHER-RIGHT AND MOTHER-RIGHT; Chapter 31 CULTURE AND THE ‘COMPLEX’; Index;

Taylor & Francis On Aggression
Book SynopsisKonrad Lorenz was the author of some of the most popular books ever published about animals, including the best-selling Man Meets Dog and King Solomon's Ring. On Aggression is one of his finest works, as well as the most controversial. Through an insightful and characteristically entertaining survey of animal behaviour, the Nobel Prize winner tracks the evolution of aggression throughout the animal world. He also raises some startling questions when he applies his observations of animal psychology to humankind. His conclusions caused an unprecedented controversy, culminating in a statement adopted by UNESCO in 1989 which appeared to condemn his work. Whether or not Lorenz actually claimed aggression is hard-wired into the human psyche, and that war is an inevitable result, is something readers can decide upon for themselves. However you react, there can be no doubting that in today's violent world this powerful work remains of paramount importanceTrade Review'Packed with entrancing detail, profound wisdom and deft humour ... the book is a masterpiece.' – The GuardianTable of ContentsChapter 1 Prologue in the Sea; Chapter 2 Coral Fish in the Laboratory; Chapter 3 What Aggression is Good For; Chapter 4 The Spontaneity of Aggression; Chapter 5 Habit, Ritual and Magic; Chapter 6 The Great Parliament of Instincts; Chapter 7 Behavioural Analogies to Morality; Chapter 8 Anonymity of the Flock; Chapter 9 Social Organization without Love; Chapter 10 Rats; Chapter 11 The Bond; Chapter 12 On the Virtue of Scientific Humility; Chapter 13 Ecce Homo!; Chapter 14 Avowal of Optimism;

Taylor & Francis Aspects of the Feminine
Book Synopsis'Love is a force of destiny whose power reaches from heaven to hell.' So Jung advises while reflecting on 'The Love Problem of a Student', an essay contained in this volume. But it is not just love that Jung speaks of in this book. Taking as its theme Jung's interpretation of the feminine principle in his hugely influential theories about the inner world of the individual, it guides the reader from the mythological archetype of the mother-figure to the experience of women in twentieth-century Europe, explaining along the way concepts crucial to Jung's understanding of the personality, such as animus and anima. Many of his contentions have become the assumptions of the generations growing up in the twenty-first century. Aspects of the Feminine is a provocative, controversial book which offers readers the opportunity to discover at first hand just how radical Jung's arguments were.Trade Review'This book is essential reading for anyone eager to grasp Jung's perception of archetypal femininity and how this finds expression in marriage, sexuality, religion and other contexts, and for an understanding of Jung's twinned concepts of anima/animus, archetypes, complexes and shadow.' - Ann Casement, Analytical Psychologist/Anthropologist'This work is the key to reconstructing Jung's ideas regarding a psychology of the feminine. But more than leading us to a mere rational understanding, it is a portal through which the essential role played by the anima in the spiritual transformation of personality is revealed.' - Eugene Taylor, Harvard Medical School'Jung was probably the most significant original thinker of the twentieth century.' - Kathleen Raine'Next to Freud, no psychiatrist of today has advanced our insight into the nature of the psyche more than Jung has.' - Hermann Hesse
