In doing so, it highlights the resulting damage and destruction inflicted upon society, boys, men and others.

  • Resilient Global Supply Chains and Geopolitical Risk

    Taylor & Francis Resilient Global Supply Chains and Geopolitical Risk

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisGlobal supply chains, long seen as engines of efficiency and economic integration, have been increasingly disrupted by recent crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts, and shifts in trade and industrial policy. These developments have raised costs, increased uncertainty, and reduced the predictability of cross-border production and exchange. Firms operating in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) face particularly strong pressures, as overlapping geopolitical forces reshape production networks, market access, and strategic choices.This book examines how firms build and sustain supply chain resilience under persistent geopolitical uncertainty. It maps how research on supply chain resilience has evolved and provides detailed empirical evidence on how firms in the CEE region respond to geopolitical risk. Focusing on practical adjustment mechanismsâsuch as supplier diversification, nearshoring, inventory buffering, and route reconfigurationâthe book analyses how firms adapt supply chains in environments shaped by sanctions, trade disputes, and regulatory fragmentation.Using qualitative case studies and causal modelling, the analysis shows that resilience does not result from isolated decisions or single best practices. Instead, it emerges from the interaction of multiple strategic choices made over time. By combining insights from dynamic capabilities, institutional economics, and systems thinking, the book conceptualises supply chain resilience as an economic outcome shaped by firmsâ responses to changing costs, governance constraints, and information conditions under geopolitical pressure.The book is intended for researchers and graduate students in supply chain management, economics, international business, and related fields, as well as for policymakers and practitioners concerned with geopolitical risk, industrial adjustment, and resilience in global production networks.

    Book SynopsisThis book is an essential read, presenting an undiluted, uncensored case study of domestic violence at its worst â torture, manipulation, and abuse (psychological, physical, emotional, financial). Written from the first-personâs perspective of the author â an Australian physician, psychiatrist, psychologist and academic â this biographical account will provide an authentic, ground-breaking clinical experience for all students, teachers, academics, and practitioners.In this book, the author shares her harrowing experiences with gender-based violence (GBV), torture, and multiple forms of systemic injustice. Once a single mother with a thriving private practice in Australia, Dr Langley's life changed when she met Rob, a manipulative, sadistic, narcissistic abuser and member of a criminal network. Despite her efforts to leave him, she endured six and a half years of captivity, during which she was subjected to severe abuse, including rape, leading to the birth of her son, Cayden. After finally escaping, Dr. Langley faced a new nightmare: The Australian legal and justice system - despite being placed in witness protection, she experienced homelessness and multiple, continued institutionalised abuse while government authorities denied her support and, instead, persecuted her for protecting her son. Dr Langley was left with no choice but to flee Australia and live in exile with her son. Years later, finally settled and safe from Rob, though not from the real perpetrators â the Australian government and international agencies / legislations such as Interpol and the Hague Convention that have been weaponised against mothers like herself â Dr Langley established LIFT, an NGO that advocates for single parent-victims of gender-based violence (GBV) who have been wrongfully persecuted by their respective governments and have been forced to live in exile with their children (or who have had their children forcefully taken away from them). Till this day, Dr Langley continues to fight for justice and promote therapeutic assistance, awareness and education for the mental wellbeing of wrongfully persecuted GBV victims and their children. The book also explores the deeper, multifaceted, complex nature of GBV: the failures, incompetence, negligence, corruption and weaponisation of national and international legal, policing and medical systems which continue to perpetrate GBV, institutionalised abuse and discrimination against victims long after they have left their abusive partners. This critical volume will impart raw insights to students, academics, professionals, policy makers and general readers from various fields (mental health, psychology, counselling, psychiatry, medicine, social work, community health, law, policing, politics and more) to allow them to better understand GBV and systemic abuse across multidisciplinary domains on an international scope. This book is a message that must be shared; a voice that must be heard; the truth that must be told.

    Book SynopsisWriting COVID-19 Lives examines how people turned to life writingâoften in fragile, makeshift formsâto make sense of the pandemic. Across poetry, memoir, autofiction, photography, sketchbooks, diaries, postcards, and digital storytelling, the collection traces a pandemic aesthetic marked by brevity, fracture, and pause: an autobiographical âœIâ that is unsettled, doubled, or dispersed. As Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie writes in Notes on Grief, âœyou learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language.â That graspingâthe search for a voice that could still speakâthreads through these essays.Spanning case studies from Canada, the United States, China, Latvia, Peru, the United Kingdom, and Spain, the volume situates these works amid uneven conditions of care, precarity, surveillance, and loss. We encounter poetry written into silence; memoirs shaped by Zoom-mediated mourning; autofiction working through trauma; and photographic diariesâsuch as Marvin Heifermanâs Photographic Shivaâthat turn domestic objects into charged residues of grief.Rather than offering a single story of âœthe pandemic,â the volume assembles a textured archive of how lives were writtenâtenderly, urgently, and sometimes beautifullyâunder unprecedented constraint.

    Book SynopsisIn a time defined by accelerating complexity, where technological breakthroughsâfrom artificial intelligence to blockchain to the emerging contours of Industry 5.0âare rapidly reshaping economic and societal landscapes, the capacity to innovate is no longer optional. It is foundational. Yet innovation itself, while often romanticized as spontaneous or disruptive, demands structure, intent, and governance. It requires systems.This book is a timely and relevant contribution to this evolving field. The publication of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 56001 standard in December 2024 marked a significant milestone: for the first time, organizations have access to a formal, certifiable framework dedicated specifically to innovation management systems (IMS). This book both contextualizes and operationalizes that framework.Built around the eight core principles of the ISO 56000 seriesâranging from leadership and strategy to value realization, adaptability, systems thinking, and collaborationâthis volume translates abstract standards into practical, analytically grounded content. It does so through a structured progression across six chapters and a final annex. Each chapter builds on the ISO 56000 principles to examine not only the theoretical underpinnings of innovation management but also its practical manifestations in organizational life.Drawing from established literature, standards, and real-world practice, this book provides a reliable foundation for anyone seeking to implement or deepen an innovation management system. It will be of particular value to three audiences: practitioners responsible for building innovation capability within their organizations; students eager to understand the logic and structure of innovation systems; and scholars seeking a coherent reference that bridges academic theory with normative frameworks.In this sense, this book is not just a guide to ISO 56001. It is a comprehensive, well-informed resource for engaging with innovation management as a strategic disciplineâone that is rigorous, relevant, and indispensable in the present era.

  • Honor and Belonging

    Book SynopsisThis book explores the post-harem lives of Ottoman palace women whoâunlike valide sultans, mothers of princes (ÅŸehzades), or imperial princesses (hanÄm sultans)âlost their formal prominence after the death of the reigning sultan and have remained largely overlooked in imperial historiography. These women, often without surviving children or powerful networks, have been relegated to the background of dynastic narratives and treated as peripheral figures in mainstream history writing. Focusing on the consorts of Sultan AbdÃlhamid I (r. 1774â1789), this volume examines how these women sustained their social status, financial stability, and symbolic ties to the dynasty in the aftermath of palace life. Drawing upon a wide range of Ottoman archival materialsâincluding rental agreements, vakfiye (waqf deeds), household expense records, and posthumous inventoriesâit reveals the economic strategies, spatial transitions, and charitable activities through which these women rebuilt a sense of belonging and dynastic visibility outside the palace walls. The book demonstrates that although these women did not enjoy fixed entitlements from the central treasury, they succeeded in securing stable and long-term income sources through investments in rental properties, eshÃm bonds, and agricultural estates. Their engagement with the imperial revenue systemâdistinct from that of valide sultans and hanÄm sultansâshows an alternative but equally structured model of female economic agency. By tracing these overlooked trajectories, the book offers a fresh lens on gender, space, and power in the Ottoman Empire and fills a critical gap in the literature on dynastic wealth, representation, and imperial femininity. The book will be of great interest to students, researchers, and educators working in the fields of Ottoman history, gender studies, Middle Eastern economic history, cultural anthropology and Sociology,

    Book SynopsisUnknowing as Truth reframes psychoanalysis as a discipline of recursive hospitality through the lens of epistemic inversionâtreating unknowing not as deficit but as the living medium of analytic truth.This book invites clinicians to work at the rim of symbolizationâwhere refusals, reversals, and surprises preserve vitalityâand cultivate an ethic of presence that lets meaning arrive without force. It shifts the axis from paradox to inversion, toward a recursive, âœcurvedâ epistemology that privileges atmosphere over linear mastery and recasts the analytic field as a participatory climate. Chapters map the grammar of inversion, articulate âœethical refusalâ as protection of remainder, and show how recursive return keeps analysis alive when language thins. It integrates classical theory, contemporary relational work and post-structural thought drawing on cross-disciplinary strands of poetry, music, and visual art as models of open form. Anderson establishes a coherent clinical method for working with not-knowingâmoving beyond âœtolerance of ambiguity.âWith a rich blend of clinical vignettes, teaching pathways, study prompts, and a lexicon for supervision, this book offers a teachable, clinically resonant architecture for psychoanalysts.

    Book SynopsisConvexity is an ancient idea going back to Archimedes. Used sporadically in mathematical literature over the centuries, today it is a flourishing area of research. Convexity is used in optimization theory, functional analysis, complex analysis, and other parts of mathematics.This text, popular in its first edition, introduces analytic tools for studying convexity and provides analytical applications of the concept. It includes a general background on classical geometric theory, revealing a glimpse of how modern mathematics is developed and how geometric ideas may be studied analytically.The book contains copious examples, many applications, and plenty of figures. It also includes an appendix which offers the technical tools needed to understand certain arguments in the book, a table of notation, and a thorough glossary to help readers with unfamiliar terms.The book presents an analytic way to think about convexity theory. Although this means of doing things is well known to the experts, it is not well documented in the literature. The reader with only a basic background in real analysis (and perhaps a little linear algebra) can get a lot out of this book. This book is a definitive introductory text to the concept of convexity in the context of mathematical analysis and a suitable resource for students and faculty alike.

    Book SynopsisFormulating Research Problems addresses one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of research: how to define and frame the problem at the heart of a study. While most research methods texts devote only a few pages to this question, Johan Alvehus offers a dedicated, accessible, and practical guide that helps students move beyond vague topics and into the development of clear, rigorous, and creative research problems.The book introduces four complementary approaches. The gap approach builds on existing literature to identify what is missing. The grounded approach starts from empirical material to surface new problems. The mystery approach invites students to create puzzles and challenge taken-for-granted assumptions. Finally, the actor approach engages with problems experienced by social actors and reformulates them in theoretical terms. Each approach is explained with clarity, outlining strengths, pitfalls, and examples, so that students can use them independently or in combination. Concise, practical, and versatile, this book is suitable across disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, and applied fields. Already widely adopted in its original Swedish edition, it is designed for undergraduate and Masterâs students writing theses, while also offering valuable guidance for DBA and early PhD students developing their research projects.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Future of DEI in the Higher Education Workforce takes readers through an in-depth and probing analysis of the evolving and contentious landscape surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in American higher education over the past two decades.Tracing the origins of DEI as a legal and institutional response to racial desegregation, shaped notably by the Supreme Courtâs interpretations of the Fourteenth Amendment, authors Edna Chun and Alvin Evans examine how its core values were interpreted over this period and, later, undermined through a series of court rulings. Situating these legal shifts within broader political and demographic contexts, while also underscoring the way federal and state actions have sought to preserve white, socio-political dominance, the book advocates for a strategic shift of its own: rather than regard these as separate, isolated initiatives, DEI principles should be embedded within broader human resource and talent management framework. For meaningful progress to be made, the authors argue, the values, principles, and practices at the heart of equal opportunity must be woven into workforce processes from hiring to advancing talent. Within higher education, this calls for a recalibration of human resource and diversity strategies that transcend institutional silos and reflect new workforce realities.Extensively researched and illustrated with case studies depicting innovative approaches in support of inclusion, equity, and organizational justice, the book provides a thorough account of the current backlash toward DEI practices and raises compelling responses for researchers of higher education and academic and administrative leaders. It offers compelling strategies for academic and administrative leaders that will continue the progress toward inclusion, equity, and social justice in higher education.
