John Wiley and Sons Ltd Should We Eat Meat
Book SynopsisMeat eating is often a contentious subject, whether considering the technical, ethical, environmental, political, or health-related aspects of production and consumption. This book is a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary examination and critique of meat consumption by humans, throughout their evolution and around the world. Setting the scene with a chapter on meat's role in human evolution and its growing influence during the development of agricultural practices, the book goes on to examine modern production systems, their efficiencies, outputs, and impacts. The major global trends of meat consumption are described in order to find out what part its consumption plays in changing modern diets in countries around the world. The heart of the book addresses the consequences of the massive carnivory of western diets, looking at the inefficiencies of production and at the huge impacts on land, water, and the atmosphere. Health impacts are also covered, both positive and negTrade ReviewVaclav Smil receives 2015 OPEC Award for Research "Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above."

Taylor & Francis Roads Not Taken
Book SynopsisUsing a range of in-depth historical case studies, this timely work excavates the oft-forgotten tradition of progressive populism and highlights the relevance of such movements to our own tumultuous times.Populism in its twenty-first century guise is often centred around exclusionary notions of nationality and the exultation of an authoritarian leader. Yet, as this book demonstrates, this has not always been the case. As demonstrated by the Levellers in the English Civil War and the Sans-Culottes in the French Revolution, the ideas of progressive populism have often surfaced in the midst of revolution where they have sought to ensure that revolutions do not deviate from their lofty ideals. Progressive populism has also emerged during periods of crisis and social dislocation, reasserting conceptions of the moral economy' and a romanticised view of the past in support of their goals. By looking at the trajectories of past iterations of these ideas, Kimmel retrieves a different

Taylor & Francis James Britton on Education
Book SynopsisJames Brittonâs work addresses central educational questions that are as relevant today as they were half a century ago. Britton was the architect of a theory of language and learning which has influenced the thinking and practice of generations of teachers across the anglophone world. This Reader helps teachers and students explore his theories of the relationships between language and thought, between thinking and feeling, the links between unconscious and conscious ways of knowing, and the symbolising nature of language.This carefully curated collection of Brittonâs key writings renders his work accessible to todayâs students, educators and researchers. Fully annotated chapters explore how his work fuses observation and theory in a remarkable synthesis, and demonstrates the continuities between the early use of language and later, more complex achievements in speaking, listening, reading and writing.All those involved in teacher education and training, including res

Taylor & Francis Psychoanalysis and the University
Book SynopsisThis book charts the past and present vicissitudes of psychoanalysisâs relation to education and emphasizes on the necessity of its increased presence in university settings.Why can fewer and fewer people afford either time-intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy or a three- four-year college education? Why have psychoanalytic teaching and research become so marginalized? Where and how does psychoanalysis retain a foothold in academia? In an era when the futures of both psychoanalysis and higher education seem evermore uncertain, Psychoanalysis and the University argues for the need to overcome existing precarities and mutual resistances and suggests ways in which their prospects for survival could be reciprocally enhanced. Each chapter surveys and interprets present conditions, while arguing the necessity of supporting and expanding psychoanalytic teaching and research at both the undergraduate and graduate levelsDrawing on Cavitchâs deep understanding of both p

Taylor & Francis Remembering the Jewish and German Questions
Book SynopsisRemembering the Jewish and German Questions: Essays on Fairy Tales, Poetry, and Culture is a selection of Jack Zipesâs insightful essays and presentations on fairy tales, Jewish studies, philosophy, drama, and the German public sphere.The collection begins by considering how fairy tales have been shaped by societies, and how they have influenced society in turn. Zipes considers the history of the Grimmsâ fairy tales and their popularity and spread â comparing them to an epidemic. The second chapter champions the work and significance of the great philosopher Ernst Bloch, with substantial engagement with the essay collection Not Yet: Reconsidering Ernst Bloch (Daniel and Moylan 1997). Chapter 3 probes into the way society makes sense of the world through fairy tales and fantasy. In Chapter 4, Zipes explores the shift and reemergence of Jewish culture in Germany in the 1990s. He turns to the work of Gilles Deleuze and FÃlix Guattari to offer insight into the usefulness of a minor literature for grasping the impact of Jewish culture as a minor culture in Germany. The next chapter provides a fascinating case study of Hungarian writer and theater director George Taboriâs relationship to the Jewish Question through examination of his plays from 1968 to 1996. Chapter 6 looks to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the unification of Germany in 1990, and questions around Jewish and German relationships in the public sphere. The final chapter offers detailed examination of Theodor Adornoâs essay âœCultural Criticism and Societyâ (1951) and remembers forgotten poets who wrote remarkable poems in defiance of the barbarism of World War 2.This interdisciplinary, transnational, and crosscultural collection gathers essays and presentations from Jack Zipesâs captivating oeuvre published or presented across two decades. It provides a celebration of the work of this esteemed and field-defining literary scholar. It is an illuminating book intended for readers interested in fairy tale studies, poetry, drama, and Jewish studies.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd A Companion to Literature Film and Adaptation
Book SynopsisThis is a comprehensive collection of original essays that explore the aesthetics, economics, and mechanics of movie adaptation, from the days of silent cinema to contemporary franchise phenomena.Trade Review“Overall, the essays in this collection deal with diverse topics and theoretical concerns of adaptation studies today. They throw light on both often researched and neglected or undervalued works.” (Poetics Today, 1 May 2015) “Well-written, suggestively arranged in a series of six sections, A Companion to Literature, Film and Adaptation provides an invaluable resource for anyone interested in debates about the past, present and future of adaptation studies, and why the discipline represents an important advance in the field of interdisciplinary learning … Cartmell’s collection covers just about every area imaginable within adaptation studies, whether historical, theoretical or otherwise … [It] is a far cry from those collections that simply compare source with target texts; it encompasses comic-books, songs, silent cinema as well as more canonical texts and their cinematic variants. There is something for everyone in this volume.” (Post Script, 2014) "Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (Choice, 1 November 2013) "A Companion to Literature, Film and Adaptation is open to anybody interested in learning more about the process of translating the printed page into film. Many popular productions on the big and small screen are referenced, such as Anonymous (2011) and Emma (2009), so readers do not need to know Barthes from Bazin to find the Companion both informative and accessible."

Taylor & Francis Solving Puzzles with Neural Creativity
Book SynopsisThis book takes an in-depth look at the tradition of solving puzzles and considers the psychological cause and effect of the Aha moment: that familiar flash of sudden insight. Everyone loves a good puzzle, but why is this so? Is it because puzzles provide a form of escapism from the routines of daily life? Or do they reveal something fundamental or perhaps even primal about human cognition and consciousness?In this book, Marcel Danesi considers the importance of puzzles to the study of mind and culture and explores how they stimulate creative regions of the brain. Danesi explores the history of classic puzzles across time and cultural spaces and examines the psychological link between puzzle solving, mental imagery and visualization. He takes an in-depth look at the difference between puzzles and games based on systematic reasoning, as well as the role of language meaning and structure in the solving of riddles. Overall, the book puts forward the idea that puzzles provide cognitive data on how the brain might function when processing information, via the neurocircuitry that supports creativity.Examining all kinds of puzzles including verbal, nonverbal, and mathematical, Solving Puzzles with Neural Creativity will be of great interest to students and scholars of psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and anthropology.

Taylor & Francis An Inquiry Into Meaning and Truth
Book SynopsisIn An Inquiry Into Meaning and Truth, Bertrand Russell returns to philosophy after a long period of writing about education, religion and marriage. Investigating how we can be justified in what we know and how we can reconcile knowledge of the physical world with immediate sensory knowledge, Russell sets out to reconcile the various aspects of his thought since his early logicist periodâhe view that mathematical truths are ultimately logical truths.Russell's goal is to stress-test empiricism in light of contemporary developments in logic and language or, as Russell himself succinctly puts it, to combine a general outlook akin to Hume's with the methods that have grown out of modern logic. His quest combines three strands: metaphysical, epistemological and linguistic. Both a fascinating insight into Russellâs evolving views and the continuity of his thinking over the years, it also foreshadows many future debates which came to occupy centre stage within English-speaking

Taylor & Francis Mysticism and Logic
Book SynopsisâœTo abandon the struggle for private happiness, to expel all eagerness of temporary desire, to burn with passion for eternal things â this is emancipation, and this is the free man's worship.â âBertrand RussellMysticism and Logic is one of Russell's most celebrated collection of essays. They not only set the tone for analytical philosophy in the English-speaking world but are Russell's first proper foray into the role of public philosopher, one he would occupy for years to come. Both scientific and romantic, Russell explores and unpacks, in his inimitable pellucid prose, some of the thorniest problems and puzzles in philosophy. These include different ways of knowing something, the foundations of mathematics, the ultimate nature of matter and whether, in Russell's view, we should seek a philosophical theory of causation.Taken together, they show the considerable changes that occurred in Russell's thinking during the years he was

This best-seller has been translated into 12 languages to bring key sociological concepts to students and general readers around the globe. The authors review recent developments in society and examine the applicability of sociology to everyday life. The world has changed a great deal since the second edition's publication.

This new third edition has been revised to reflect these and other transforTrade Review"The new edition of this now classic text examines the contemporary issues that inform our values, how we see ourselves and each other and organise our societies. I would recommend it not just to sociologists and social scientists, but to anyone concerned to understand how we might conduct our lives in better ways." -Professor Bev Skeggs, Director, Atlantic Fellows Programme, London School of Economics and Political Science "Zygmunt Bauman was one of the great creative and insightful voices of modern sociology. His introduction to Sociological Thinking remains a wonderful and provocative introduction to seeing the world and personal life through a sociological lens. Tim May has done masterful work updating Bauman and adding insights of his own.

Taylor & Francis The Process of Local Government Reform
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1976, this book examines how and why local government reforms came about and what influences, pressures and compromises were involved.

At the same time, as a case study of the British policy-making process, it examines more general issues about the political manoeuvring of groups in conflict, the concept of âgovernment by Commissionâ and the range of strategies which were open to Government decision makers. The book will prove essential reading for students of the history of British Government policy-making and political processes, and of administrative change and innovation.

CRC Press Optimal Spending on Cybersecurity Measures
Book SynopsisOptimal Spending on Cybersecurity Measures: AI and GovernanceThe aim of this book is to demonstrate the use of business driven risk assessments to address government regulations and guidelines specific to AI risks, as AI systems often require access to personal data. All aspects of AI, machine learning models, continuous learning, generalization, predictive and descriptive analytic are dependent on massive data sets. The more diverse and comprehensive the data, the better an AI can perform. Therefore, AI systems require vast amounts of personal data, and should this data be accessed by unauthorized individuals or organizations, it will lead to a privacy breach which may result in personal harm to citizens, i.e. identity theft. This book introduces the cyber risk investment model, and the cybersecurity risk management framework used within business-driven risk assessments to address government regulations, industry standards and applicable Laws.

Taylor & Francis U.S. Defense Policy toward Israel
Book SynopsisThis book examines U.S. defense policy toward Israel during the Cold War, emphasizing arms sales, intelligence sharing, and other security cooperation. It argues that strategic interests drove American policy with other considerations, such as domestic politics and shared liberal values, mattering far less. It begins with the presidency of John F. Kennedy and ends with the presidency of George H. W. Bush with a particular focus on government officials: presidents, secretaries of state, secretaries of defense, national security advisors, other administration officials, and senators and Congressmen. The author explores the primacy of security as American officials feared nuclear proliferation, regional war, and a cut-off of oil supplies. All the while, tensions and often bitter disagreements in the U.S.-Israel relationship abounded over what to do about threats in the Middle East. This volume will be of interest to those studying American relations with the rest of the Middle East and

Book SynopsisA comprehensive overview of the integrative study of violence Violence continues to be one of the most urgent global public health problems that contemporary society faces. Suicides and homicides are increasing at an alarming rate, particularly in younger age groups and lower-income countries.
