Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Resolving the Crisis in Research by Changing the Game: An Ecosystem and a Sharing Philosophy
This groundbreaking book arrives at a time of growing concern for the future of true scholarship. Morten Huse calls upon the scholarly community to reflect on the recent dramatic changes to academia, calling for coordinated efforts to reorganise the scholarly ecosystem. Offering a holistic view of academia, Huse outlines the institutions, audiences, messages, channels and communities that interact in this ecosystem, introducing a 'sharing philosophy' as the foundation of change. Reflecting on the past and looking to the future, this exciting book demands a communal approach to scholarship that comprises an open, innovative and impact-driven attitude to research that can change the academic game. Incisive and optimistic for the future, this book is crucial reading for PhD students and junior faculty members hoping to find new avenues for impactful and innovative research. Established scholars, as well as leaders of academic institutions, academies and associations concerned with recent structural changes to scholarship will also benefit from Huse's strong critique and alternative pathways.

Emerald Publishing Limited Inquiring into Academic Timescapes
Proliferating literature claims that academia is in a critical condition, generating armies of anxious, neurotic and time-hungry individuals which are governed by the speed imperatives integral to a modernist and capitalist rationality. This book puts the temporal ordering of academic life under the microscope, and showcases the means of yielding a better understanding of how time and temporality act both as instruments of power and vulnerability within the academic space. This book brings together more than three dozen scholars who collectively craft a much-needed nuanced sociologically-driven perspective of temporalities in academia. Delving into contemporary processes which are quintessentially temporal in their character, such as the increasing precariousness of jobs among junior scholars, the prevalence of grant funding, the role of evaluation systems, and the political economy of higher education, the authors offer a forensic analysis of the complex nature of academic temporalities as experienced, understood, controlled, managed and contested in various academic and research contexts.

Una psicoterapia espiritual
Una propuesta para espiritualizar la psicología y trabajar con lo sagrado en las relaciones, el amor, el sexo y los ciclos de la vida y la muerte.He aquí un libro sobre lo espiritual en lo psicológico y lo psicológico en lo espiritual. Una integración que recupera lo que nunca debió perderse en terapia: el ingrediente espontáneo de lo sagrado, la capacidad de sentirse humilde ante aquello que se reconoce como más grande que uno mismo. El autor es partidario de llamar a las cosas por su nombre: si la Academia rechaza la palabra ?espiritual? por inasible, es un problema de la Academia, no del espíritu. O, como apunta Francisco Peñarrubia en su prólogo, no es necesario que la psicología (la ?ciencia del alma?) renuncie al alma para hacerse un lugar entre las ciencias.Una psicoterapia espiritual es, hasta la fecha, el libro más ambicioso y profundo de Albert Rams, pionero de la gestalt en España.

Princeton University Press The Dean of Shandong: Confessions of a Minor Bureaucrat at a Chinese University
An inside view of Chinese academia and what it reveals about China’s political systemOn January 1, 2017, Daniel Bell was appointed dean of the School of Political Science and Public Administration at Shandong University—the first foreign dean of a political science faculty in mainland China’s history. In The Dean of Shandong, Bell chronicles his experiences as what he calls “a minor bureaucrat,” offering an inside account of the workings of Chinese academia and what they reveal about China’s political system. It wasn’t all smooth sailing—Bell wryly recounts sporadic bungles and misunderstandings—but Bell’s post as dean provides a unique vantage point on China today.Bell, neither a Chinese citizen nor a member of the Chinese Communist Party, was appointed as dean because of his scholarly work on Confucianism—but soon found himself coping with a variety of issues having little to do with scholarship or Confucius. These include the importance of hair color and the prevalence of hair-dyeing among university administrators, both male and female; Shandong’s drinking culture, with endless toasts at every shared meal; and some unintended consequences of an intensely competitive academic meritocracy. As dean, he also confronts weightier matters: the role at the university of the Party secretary, the national anticorruption campaign and its effect on academia (Bell asks provocatively, “What’s wrong with corruption?”), and formal and informal modes of censorship. Considering both the revival of Confucianism in China over the last three decades and what he calls “the Communist comeback” since 2008, Bell predicts that China’s political future is likely to be determined by both Confucianism and Communism.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Food Industry R&D: A New Approach
Research and development represents a vast spread of topics and can be an arena for controversy. In academia, such controversy may stem from conflicting interpretations of data and subsequent conclusions, the question of who was first to discover a particular finding and whether or not the said finding is of any value to the scientific community. R&D in corporate environments is mostly defined and driven by costs and clearly identified, consumer-focused targets. There is, however, common ground between these two approaches as both strive to maximize knowledge, though for different reasons and in differnt ways. The equipment and scientific rigor may be similar or identical, however their usage, approach and interpretation are different. This book discusses the history and background of today's food industry R&D as seen by consumers, academia and the industry itself, with several chapters dedicated to new and disruptive approaches. A must-read for all professionals in the packaged goods industry as well as students who aspire to contribute to this new industry, forcefully driven by R&D.

Un eslabón recuperado de la lexicografía española
Quienes el verano de 1713 se reunieron en torno a don Juan Manuel Fernández Pacheco, marqués de Villena, y se constituyeron en Academia, lo hicieron con el firme propósito de componer un Diccionario de la lengua, el más copioso que pudiere hacerse. Su primer tomo vio la luz en 1726 y, al cabo de trece años, se culminó, con el sexto, el que más adelante se conocería como Diccionario de autoridades, una obra de una extraordinaria calidad científica que puso la lexicografía española a la cabeza de los primeros grandes diccionarios modernos de la Europa del siglo XVIII. Pese a que la Academia abrazó la idea de hacer una segunda edición de Autoridades ?y llegó a publicar un primer tomo (1770)?, en 1777 surgió un nuevo proyecto lexicográfico: elaborar un compendio, un diccionario más manejable y barato, en un solo tomo, que satisficiera la demanda del público.
