Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Encountering Bigotry Befriending Projecting People in Everyday Life
Book SynopsisEncountering Bigotry examines the occurrence of emotionally fraught and socially provocative expressions, such as racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, classism, and other forms of hatred of outgroups or others, in everyday experience. The editors categorize such remarks as projections, particular forms of perceiving oneself and others in the world. This projection allows the person to perceive emotional intensity without owning (i.e., without attributing to the self) the feeling or experiencing anxiety-producing emotions. Such projections are not pathological, they observe, but rather faulty and not beyond repair. Utilizing experiences gathered from various people and settings, and deriving theory from common psychoanalytic and Gestalt therapy, the observations and conclusions found in Encountering Bigotry are as applicable in any social context as they are in the therapeutic relationship. Table of ContentsPart I: On Mundane Projections. A Common Occurrence. Principles of Faulty Projections. Invitations to Collaborate with Projections. What Comes Up in the Invitee? What Is Happening in the Transaction? Variations in Projecting. Part II: Ways of Handling Projections. Poor Handling. The Role of Self-Hatred in Projections and Poor Handling. Three Guidelines to Good-Enough Handling. Good Handling. Two Stories. Elaboration and Reflection.

Taylor & Francis Practical Wisdom
Book SynopsisFeaturing original essays from leading scholars in philosophy and psychology, this volume investigates and rethinks the role of practical wisdom in light of the most recent developments in virtue theory and moral, social and developmental psychology.The concept of phronesis has long held a prominent place in the development of Aristotelian virtue ethics and moral education. However, the nature and development of phronesis is still in need of investigation, especially because of the new insights that in recent years have come from both philosophy and science. The essays in this volume contribute to the debate about practical wisdom by elucidating its role in empirical psychology and advancing important new research questions. They address various topics related to practical wisdom and its development, including honesty, ecocentric phronesis, social cognitive theory, practical wisdom in limited-information contexts, Whole Trait Theory, skill models, the reciprocity of virtue, aTrade Review"Practical wisdom is central to the virtue ethical tradition, but has been neglected in the debates over the psychology of ethical virtue and educational methods of fostering it. This volume should transform those debates by turning their attention away from behavioural outcomes and towards sound practical reasoning and judgment." – Jonathan Webber, Cardiff University, UK"De Caro and Vaccarezza have put together a nice collection of interesting essays, each of which adroitly integrates perspectives from both psychology and philosophy on a variety of topics integral to the study of practical wisdom. This volume should be on the "wish list" of any scholars working on practical wisdom and moral psychology." – Audrey L.

Taylor & Francis Managing Clinical Risk
Book SynopsisThe second edition of Managing Clinical Risk is an authoritative guide on how to engage in risk assessment and management practice in evidence-based, accountable and effective ways.Over the course of a dozen chapters, each oriented around a brief case study reflecting a different area of risk, practitioners are offered guidance on how to read referrals, how to decide what information matters to their evaluations, how to speak to a person who may be reluctant to engage in an assessment of this kind, how to organise the information they have gathered in order to prepare a risk formulation that will in turn guide risk management, and how to communicate opinions and recommendations in ways that have an impact. The book provides an evidence-based understanding of risk assessment and management in key areas of practice violence, sexual violence, suicidal and self-harmful behaviour, as well as family and relationship violence, organised criminal and group-based violence, andTable of Contents 1.

Taylor & Francis Nga Kuaha
Book SynopsisNgÄ KÅaha: Voices and Visions in MÄori Healing and Psychiatry explores what it means to hear voices and see visions from the perspectives of MÄori healer Wiremu NiaNia and psychiatrist Allister Bush. Wiremu explains NgÄ KÅaha as referring to doorways and offers entranceways into MÄori knowledge about wairua (spirituality) handed down by his forebears and other MÄori sources.The authors provide historical examples of Western mystical experiences and contrasting Western psychiatric and psychological explanations of voices and visions as hallucinations. Further chapters focus on narratives and perspectives from people who have experienced voices and visions, and have had interactions with mental health services, told from multiple viewpoints; individual, whÄnau (family), MÄori healing and psychiatry. The benefits of joint MÄori healing and psychiatry approaches on wellbeing are examined. Drawing on their 18-year partnership, Wiremu and Allister highlight the harmful colonial impact of psychiatry in suppressing MÄori views of voices and visions. They describe ways of working together in clinical practice to address this history of injustice and how to identify whether distressing perceptual experiences may represent MÄori cultural experiences, psychiatric or psychological symptoms or all of these. This book advocates for practices that enable genuine partnerships between MÄori healers, other wairua practitioners and mental health clinicians in order to improve the mental health and spiritual care of MÄori and perhaps other peoples.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Paradox
Book SynopsisHistory reveals countless attempts by great minds to solve lifeâs paradoxes. But what if these attempts miss the point? What if paradox is life?Contrary to the supposedly sublime linear logic that underpins our prevalent modes of theoretical and empirical enquiry, in this fascinating book, organizational anthropologist Tom Vine charts the pervasiveness of paradox across the academy: from arithmetic to zoology. In so doing, he reflects on the concept of paradox as a widespread existential âpatternâ, a pattern which holds significant metatheoretical and pedagogical potential. Paradoxes, he argues, are not inconveniences or âfault lines in our common-sense worldâ but are coded into our very existence. Paradoxes thus present their own vital logics that shape our lives: they thwart moral and ideological uniformity; they even out subjective experience between âthe havesâ and âthe have notsâ; and they shed light on the opaque concepts of consciousness and agency.This book will appeal to anybody with a curious mind, particularly scholars and students with an interest in one or more of the following: complexity theory, critical pedagogies, ethnography, nonlinear dynamics, organization theory, and systems theory.Trade Review‘In this lively, eclectic and consistently stimulating book, Tom Vine identifies the remarkable prevalence of paradox in human life and offers a spirited defence of embracing its peculiar logic. Against the conventional wisdom of means-ends reasoning and calculative rationality, Vine argues that paradox reveals fractures in our common-sense that we would do well to explore and exacerbate rather than eradicate or resolve. Taking an ethnographic, transdisciplinary, wide angle view, Vine’s primary focus is the lived experience of paradox: our counterintuitive tendency to embrace contrary positions and the unfathomable longing to act against our own best interests. In a world that is being re-contoured by rapid advances in artificial intelligence and information technology, Tom Vine’s book is an ardent appeal to the humanising power of paradox.’Jill Marsden, Professor of Literature and Philosophy, University of Bolton, UK‘This book represents the active and loving embrace of paradox in art, society, organization, nature and ontology but it also (paradoxically) describes the relationship between author and textual material as grappling, staggering, discombobulating and thorny. Take paradox away from the thinker and you have the tame professor yet (paradoxically) to outwit paradox would be accepting a Faustian pact. Paradox is a vague rule of sociology wherein (paradoxically) there is no universally accepted rule book on anything. Vine has produced a text that is both broad and deep, where we are allowed to see paradox at work, everywhere and at every time. It forcibly opens our eyes just as the reader might want to blink and slink back into a less-pressing, logical and linear comfortableness. It is to be highly commended for its smooth disruptiveness.’Gibson Burrell, Professor of Organization Theory, University of Manchester, UK ‘In this important and wide-ranging book Tom Vine makes a strong case for the unique human capacity to entertain one thing and its opposite at the same time. He demonstrates how this is not a result of flawed thinking, but is crucial for exploring complex experience. Vine shows us how paradoxical thinking manifests in the full range of human activity; from art to science, and from pedagogy to the ethics involved in navigating between competing goods.’Christopher Mowles, Professor of Complexity and Management, University of Hertfordshire, UK 'This book is both stimulatingly provocative and deeply questioning of much of the literature on the bureaucratic phenomenon. Tom Vine advances a Deleuzian perspective on bureaucracy as an ‘emergent and immanent force’ in late modernism. Repetitive and recurrent ‘differences’ within and across its operational planes require life-skills in their positive resolution. In presenting his arguments he draws from a wide range of alternative perspectives.'Ray Loveridge, Professor Emeritus, Aston University, UK'Tom Vine's erudite and engagingly personal reexamination of bureaucracy offers compelling alternatives to the familiar debate on 'post-bureaucracy' and the pejorative caricatures of bureaucracy in popular management literature. Rather than arguing for or against bureaucracy, Dr Vine's unique approach is to ask how people in organisations experience, navigate and make sense of this phenomenon. He combines autoethnography, literary criticism and expansive scholarship to develop a phenomenology of bureaucracy. Written with refreshing style and a colourful wit, his book offers invaluable insights for the critical study of contemporary organisations.'Dr Samuel Mansell, University of St Andrews, UKTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Further Case Studies in Forensic Psychology
Book SynopsisThis unique book offers valuable insights into the often-hidden world of forensic psychological assessment and intervention. It follows on from Case Studies in Forensic Psychology (2019) and presents a range of detailed clinical case studies of adults and young people across secure and community settings. The case studies represent individuals with several different forms of offending histories, such as sexual and violent offending, and various clinical diagnoses including autism and acquired brain injury. Each chapter details the individual's personal background, offending, any relevant psychiatric or psychological diagnoses, and treatments. The chapters end with an intensive discussion on the outcomes for that case, and its wider implications. This book allows the readers to understand the on-ground clinical practice and day-to-day role of a forensic psychologist by demonstrating the work undertaken behind the empirical research and highlighting the complexities to wTrade ReviewThis book provides a welcome focus upon individual work and learning from the expertise of practitioner psychologists. As academics, and policy makers, we have much to learn from expert practitioners, who are not beholden to the biases of the managerialism of the treatment industry. Real world issues such as working within covid based restrictions are also covered highlighting both challenges and some of the new learning from our practice informing how we may improve services. Very well worth a read for anyone interested in the real world of forensic practice. - Graham Towl, Professor of Forensic Psychology, Durham University and formerly Chief Psychologist, Ministry of Justice, UKThis book could not be more welcome. In an era when resources are scant and opportunities to discuss cases with others are few, this collection of case studies fills the void. Not only does it focus on best practices generally, it provides wisdom and expertise on how to adapt services to build clients’ ability to respond to treatment. The topics themselves will be of interest to all at the front lines of forensic treatment. The innovative ideas on individualized treatment for sexual offending, fire setting, and domestic violence will be helpful to all readers. - David S.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Breaking out of the Expat Bubble
Book SynopsisMoving abroad means having to settle into a new host country. This book enables expats and those who support them to create intercultural connections and friendships both within and outside the workplace.Having left behind a large part of their social network, expats need to make local friends to really settle in. This book shows you how this works, and that breaking out of the expat bubble and making local friends helps you adjust and settle in the new place you call home. Organisations and societies should also support expats if they would like to retain this international talent. It is important to create the conditions for expats to build a social network, for example by connecting them with a local buddy. Learn more in this book about the advantages of such contact and how to set up and manage a buddy system to the benefit of both your expats and your organisation or community. The book is illustrated by many quotes from almost 20 years of research and features 11 real-wTrade ReviewWithout question, Breaking out of the Expat Bubble is a book whose time has come. Multi-national corporations and organizations are operating in a rapidly changing world. Never before in history has there been so much intercultural mixing and interchange as there is today for those who work internationally. In earlier years, many expats only interacted with local citizens during the work hours, often in some managerial role. During the off hours, however, most retreated to the clubs, restaurants, or living situations they shared with fellow expats. Together they formed another world separate from the one most locals around them lived in. It was the accepted—and easiest?—thing to do. In this ground breaking book, Marian van Bakel emphasizes a different approach and explains why this is important for both the individual and the organization. She begins by acknowledging the reality that cross-cultural interactions are not always easy or comfortable, giving real life examples of specific intercultural difficulties expats often face, in particular with regard to making new friends abroad. She goes on to give concrete, practical ways on how to turn that challenge into an opportunity to become more culturally competent. This book makes clear why local relationships are a major key for success for any expat. They are key to the emotional well being of each expat in their new place. They are also part of a key strategy for increasing the likelihood of success for the organization as business models effective in one place may need to be adjusted in another. Expats who have been mentored by locals are often the most able to do that. Because this book was written for both the expats who go and those who support them, there are riches to uncover for all who are involved in any aspect of international, cross-cultural living.Ruth E. Van Reken, Co-author, Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, 3rd ed., Co-founder, Families in Global Transition"This book is a tremendous resource for those planning for or who are in the early stages of an extended international experience, which can greatly benefit their lives. The book has a very engaging style and many examples and quotes of current expats, yet also is based on compelling state-of-the-art research. Sponsoring organizations and communities that value the attraction and retention of international human talent also will find this book of great value." Charles M. Vance, Professor Emeritus, Loyola Marymount University, and coauthor of Smart Talent Management and Managing a Global Workforce In Breaking out of the Expat Bubble, Marian van Bakel shows that expats who have contact with locals flourish better in a host country than expats without such contacts. She discusses in detail what expats, locals and organisations can do to establish and consolidate contacts between the first two. The author presents the extensive scientific literature in this field in layman's terms with expats’ experiences with locals and anecdotes about her own expat life. This all makes it a very readable book that is a must for expats, HR departments of organisations, locals who want to guide expats and anybody else who frequently deals with expats (teachers, estate agents, municipality officials).Marinel Gerritsen, Professor Emeritus Intercultural Business Communication, Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands"This is a well-researched, thoughtful and instructive book that will be of substantial value to anyone living outside their own country. It is, at the same time, entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable reading. The book is not exactly a 'survival guide' for people trying to cope with being in a new country but following the ideas that are clearly laid out here will certainly make adjustment a whole lot quicker and easier. This is one of those books that will in a small way and for some people make life a lot better."Chris Brewster, Professor of International Human Resource Management at Henley Business School, University of Reading, UK"This volume brings together a whole array of relevant topics and serves as a helpful guide to everyone who decided (or still considering) to move abroad for their work, describing the challenges of making new connections, especially with locals in the destination country. The author – Marian Van Bakel – does a good job appealing to a broad readership, including expatriates, academics, educators, consultants, and university students. This volume is undoubtedly a valuable and essential read not only for those moving abroad and their potential employers, but also for anyone interested in building their social networks in the new country, as well as developing deep understanding of the various cross-cultural interactions and practices seen in different societies around the world."Vlad Vaiman, Associate Dean and Professor at the School of Management of California Lutheran UniversityBreaking out of the Expat Bubble focuses on the social side of living abroad, showing how internationals can make friends in the new host country. Social relationships act as a lifeline, especially when one moves to a new place. Fellow expats can certainly help, but it is by having a mix of social contacts that internationals find the confidence to shape a meaningful life in the local country. Local connections provide a sense of belonging, both in local society and within their work environments. The book makes a lot of interesting academic research accessible and offers many good recommendations which are directly usable for institutions and companies, for example about how to set up a buddy system. The writing is both professional and personal which makes it a pleasure to read this book. I would certainly recommend this book to all who would like to make a difference in the life of internationals. It is crucial that we nurture diverse social networks for internationals, making sure they stay connected, engaged and strong.Signe Biering, executive coach“There has been more than half a century's worth of research on global mobility and expatriation, but despite the vast body of knowledge that has accumulated, important research gaps and open questions still remain. One is how to make social connections when moving abroad. The author, Marian Van Bakel, in this eminently readable and engaging book not only provides a process model that is valuable from a research perspective but offers useful recommendations for building a strong social network while on international assignment.”Günter K. Stahl, Professor of International Management at WU Vienna, AustriaMarian van Bakel’s new release attracted my attention immediately as one who has lived as an expat in three European countries and worked extensively as a consultant and trainer on assignments in another fifty. “Breaking out of the bubble” is an excellent way to describe the multifaceted challenge that many new expats face, including making new friends. Now a very useful handbook has arrived! The book is an interesting read, because it is replete with stories, resulting from discussions and interviews that the author has had with a variety of expats and their experiences in different countries, making it possible to understand how making friends may be easier or more difficult given the culture and social structure. The stories shared also provide insights into what worked, and what did not work in various contexts, for different kinds of expats, students, workers, the self-expatriated, and others. This involves detailing challenges to expect and provides important exercises in personal reflection and self-management as well as useful insights into appropriate steps to take to connect with others in various cultural contexts. The book is enjoyable to read with the many stories that focus on the actual experiences of the many different interviewees, who have been challenged to see both their cultural proclivities and come to better understand the values and behaviors of the cultures they have been immersed in.

Book SynopsisThe Routledge International Handbook of Masculinity Studies provides a contemporary critical and scholarly overview of theorizing and research on masculinities as well as emerging ideas and areas of study that are likely to shape research and understanding of gender and men in the future. The forty-eight chapters of the handbook take an interdisciplinary approach to a range of topics on men and masculinities related to identity, sex, sexuality, culture, aesthetics, technology and pressing social issues. The handbook's transnational lens acknowledges both the localities and global character of masculinity. A clear message in the book is the need for intersectional theorizing in dialogue with feminist, queer and sexuality studies in making sense of men and masculinities.Written in a clear and direct style, the handbook will appeal to students, teachers and researchers in the social sciences and humanities, as well as professionals, practitionerTrade Review"This handbook offers an indispensable survey of the meanings, forms and structures of masculinity in contemporary culture. This book is timely and relevant!" Jack Halberstam, author of Female Masculinity"Covering a broad, interdisciplinary range of approaches within Masculinity Studies, this handbook provides a welcome overview of genealogies and contemporary perspectives. The ambition to decentre the location of the field in the Global North, as well as to highlight its entanglements with feminist, queer, trans-, and postcolonial studies makes the volume stand out.Nina Lykke, Professor Emerita, Gender Studies, Linköping University"This is the text I should have had when I was a young scholar; the fact that I will reach for it today is testimony to the attention the authors pay to the historical journey of masculinity studies while remaining refreshingly relevant. The handbook offers new areas of reading masculinities from transnational, intersectional and multi-disciplinary perspectives.

Taylor & Francis A Psychodynamic Approach to Female Domination in
Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking book explores contemporary forms of BDSM where women dominate in relationships and professions, opening new paths for psychological research in commercial and non-commercial BDSM.Based on a unique combination of qualitative investigation and academic research, it examines how BDSM has often crystalized conflicts in contemporary feminist debates, where sexually dominant women are pictured either as victims or as agents of resistance to the patriarchy. Nathalie Lugand argues that female domination in heterosexual BDSM is above all situated in a continuum structured by the values of care and by the circulation of money. Through a novel psychodynamic approach, Lugand demystifies BDSM relationships where women dominate, considering the impact of social relations of work in the construction of sexual identity and analyzing the difficulties that they cause in the erotic economy. The book affirms that to better understand the pleasure taken in female domination pTrade Review‘Nathalie Lugand skilfully crosses two traditionally separate fields of study – work and sexuality – and transforms our perspective on desire.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Places Sociality and Ecological Psychology
Book SynopsisThis book presents a collection of essays honoring Professor Harry Heft, a leading figure in the field of ecological psychology, engaging critically with his work, thought and influence. Containing 12 chapters written by leading experts from philosophy and psychology, this text critically examines, questions, and expands on crucial ideas from Heft concerning the nature of cognition, its relationship to the body and the environment (including the social and cultural environment), and the main philosophical assumptions underlying the scientific study of psychological functions. It elaborates on the notion of affordance, and its connection to social, cultural and developmental psychology, as well as on the application of Roger Barker's eco-behavioral program for current psychology and cognitive science. The book includes an extensive interview with Heft, where he reflects about the history, challenges and future of ecological psychology. Finally, it presents a chapter written byTrade ReviewFinally: Harry Heft is getting the recognition he deserves. His careful work has quietly inspired generations of researchers interested in the history and philosophy of psychology, especially pragmatism and the ecological approach. Many of us, myself included, found reading Heft’s 2001 masterpiece Ecological Psychology in Context to be a transformative experience. That work made the ideas of James Gibson and Roger Barker seem less strange and foreign by providing historical precedent in the late work of William James. This book collects brand new essays by some of those who were inspired by Heft’s philosophical and historical analyses, along with a delightful interview with Heft and his response to the collected essays. The interview alone is worth the price of admission and the rest of the collection is a crucial record of the mark Heft has left.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Doubt
Book SynopsisBlending the latest academic research with case studies of famous figures, this highly insightful book presents doubt' as a central concept for psychology. It is a concept which has been oddly neglected in the past, despite its ubiquitous nature and far-reaching influence. Exploring everything from self-doubt and impostor syndrome to the weaponisation of doubt with respect to climate change and the marketing of cigarettes, bestselling author Geoffrey Beattie navigates readers through the various ways doubt can start and develop, changing the individual in the process. Written in Beattie's distinctive and engaging style, Doubt takes the reader into the lives of transformational thinkers, artists, scientists and writers to explore how and why doubt was crucial in their lives and how the likes of Kafka, Jung, Picasso and Turing succumbed to doubt or learned to control it. Beattie argues that doubt is central to the self; it can be either a safeguarding mechanism or a distTrade Review"This is one of the most brilliant books I have ever come across. Its aim is to address the question of what is doubt, not directly in any circumscribed definitional standard, but by examining the powerful role it has had (and continues to have) in human life. To do so, Geoff Beattie takes the reader on a narrative journey into the minds of some of the greatest writers and scientists of history tin order to cast light on how their doubts shaped their creative and scientific accomplishments. He also looks at how doubt is harnessed maliciously to spread conspiracy theories about such things as climate change. Written in his usual accessible narrative style – let us not forget that Beattie is also an accomplished novelist as well as a distinguished psychologist – this book will be hard to put down. Its implications for grasping who we are as a species – we are the only species that possesses doubt – and for harnessing or counteracting its enormous power of control over human life, make it a must read for everyone."Marcel Danesi, PhD, FRCS, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of Toronto, Canada"Beattie brilliantly illustrates the science of doubt with fascinating case studies from doubters like Kafka, to non-doubters like Picasso and how it can be addressed therapeutically, as in Brendan Ingle’s boxing gym in Sheffield."Brian Butterworth, Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Neuropsychology, University College London, UK"Geoff Beattie has written a brilliantly entertaining book about the little considered phenomenon of doubt, focusing mainly but not exclusively on self-doubt. Part memoir, part an examination of the psychology of doubt, and part an examination of the role of doubt (or lack of it) in the lives of key historical figures – Jung, Kafka, Picasso, Ernest Dichter (a psychoanalyst who devoted his talents to promoting the consumption of cigarettes) and Alan Turing – the book offers a wide-ranging and unique appreciation of the importance of doubt in individual minds and in human affairs."Richard Bentall, PhD, FBA, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Sheffield, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgements 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Nostalgia and Political Theory
Book SynopsisIn Nostalgia and Political Theory, Lawrence Quill advocates the central importance of nostalgia as a theoretical response to the historic' past and a vertiginous present. He does so by offering detailed analyses of diverse theoretical approaches, from the ancient world to the modern day, in order to reassess the relation between nostalgia and politics. Quill proposes nostalgia as an organizing concept, silently (and not so silently) influencing theorists as they construct critiques of the present or visions of the political future.Nostalgia and Political Theory surveys key contributions to nostalgic and antinostalgic thinking from across the political spectrum. Assessing the influence of photography, radio, television, and personal computing on changing conceptions of the past, Quill also considers the relation between populism, nationalism, and nostalgia. By challenging those who would dismiss nostalgia as irrational or a symptom of cultural malaise, Quill concTrade ReviewNostalgia and Political Theory is an absolute treasure trove for anyone interested in understanding nostalgia within a historical and political context. Lawerence Quill shows in an accessible and comprehensible manner how and why nostalgia continues to serve as an important source for the political imagination. By linking nostalgia to different technologies, Quill makes nostalgia relevant to personal identity, political theory as well as to populist appropriation.Michael Hviid Jacobsen, Professor of Sociology, Aalborg University, Denmark.Traversing a gauntlet of historical, political, and technological ideas related to nostalgia in thoughtful, thorough, and eye-opening ways, Nostalgia and Political Theory is an important and fresh contribution to Nostalgia Studies. I learned so much about a topic I thought I already knew a good deal about. Lawrence Quill has a way of writing about nostalgia that makes putting this book down impossible. Highly recommended to scholars and nostalgia enthusiasts alike!Ryan Lizardi, Associate Professor, Digital Media Design and Humanities at SUNY Polytechnic InstituteAll human beings yearn to reconcile with their origins. Despite the best efforts of those who would deny that such an endeavor is possible, we continue to push against the constraints of memory in order to heal divisions within ourselves and our societies. This 'search for home' that is deeply rooted in the human psyche is the subject of Lawrence Quill's magisterial Nostalgia and Political Theory. A meticulously researched and eloquent book, it traces the history of nostalgia as a political concept from the dawn of civilization to the digital age. Brimming with erudition, it demonstrates the truth of Edmund Burke's conviction that 'People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors'. Indeed, there is no other book available that so comprehensively analyses this vital subject, and none that will so persuasively convince the reader of its necessity to any life worth living.Mark Dooley, Irish philosopher, writer, and journalistNo matter what sort of interest brings you to the subject of nostalgia – whether you’re critical, curious, or perhaps even a bit of a nostalgic yourself – Nostalgia and Political Theory, packed with provocative claims and ranging far and wide over the history of political thought, has something for you. From Hesiod’s Works and Days to the Rucellai Gardens, from Livy’s History to Thoreau’s cabin on Walden Pond, and from nineteenth-century photography to the iPhone, Professor Quill engages with a range of thinkers alienated from the world around them and eager to find comfort – and often revolutionary insight – in a purported past.Andrew Murphy, Professor of Political Science at the University of MichiganTable of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction1 Pre-modernity and Nostalgia2 An Emotional Contract3 Inventing the Past4 Nostalgia and Exile 5 Mediating Nostalgia 6 Consuming Nostalgia 7 Populism and NostalgiaConclusion Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Psychology of Political Communication
Book SynopsisContemporary politics is mass-communication politics. Politicians are not only seen and heard, they are seen and heard in close-up through television appearances, speeches, interviews, and on social media. In this book, the authors analyse the ways in which politicians communicate with each other, the media, and the electorate; they also discuss the implications of contemporary political discourse on the democratic process as a whole. Politicians in interviews are typically castigated for their evasiveness. However, microanalytic research shows that there is more to political discourse than this apparent ambiguity. This book reveals how equivocation, interruptions, and personal antagonism can offer valuable insights into a politician's communicative style. The authors review their empirical research not only on political interviews, but also on speeches, parliamentary debates, and political journalism.

For lay mediators and the public, the timing is excellent. In my role as a mediator, and in my personal life as a consumer of health and public services, I am witnessing spiralling levels of anger and frustration, lack of accessibility of public and health services, and increased reliance on technology.
