In Psychoanalysis and the Struggle for Love, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Mark Kinet brings together decades of clinical experience, theoretical insight, and cultural curiosity to explore love in all its forms: tender and erotic, destructive and restorative, ancient and digital.

Moving effortlessly between the works of Freud, Lacan, Klein, Winnicott, Balint, Bion, and contemporary neuropsychoanalysis, Kinet reveals how love shapes the psyche from infancy to adulthood, from the consulting room to the wider culture. Across a series of vivid chapters, ranging from early trauma to desire, perversion, seduction, idealisation, digital intimacy, and the healing potential of the analytic setting, this book offers a panoramic portrait of the human need for connection. Kinet combines rigorous clinical thinking with literary and philosophical depth, while offering a clear and compassionate account of why love matters and why it so often goes awry. A compelling exploration of the human heart and the forces that bind us to one another, this is psychoanalysis written with depth, clarity and warmth.

Written in Kinet’s signature engaging and accessible style, this is a vital book for clinicians, readers of mind and culture, and anyone fascinated by the fragile and untidy beauty of love.

In this fascinating volume, Meg Harris Williams explores Wilfred Bion’s autobiographical works, analysing their theoretical importance and continued relevance to the personal experience of others.

Williams shows how these works are less about Bion’s life and more about his way of thinking, in which episodes from his own experience are used to illustrate the mind in action. His model of the mind is vividly evoked through his own presentation of himself and his manner of noting and observing internal conflicts. His example constitutes a unique resource in the process of self-analysis, something which is illustrated here by the experiential responses of four contributing psychoanalysts: Vera R. F. Montagna, Vivienne Pasieka, Anne Lise di Moise S. Scappaticci and Alison Vaspe.

This book is a fundamentally enriching tool for the practising psychoanalyst and an invaluable resource for students of psychoanalysis and psychology, as well as those interested in autobiographical literature.

Moroccan Judeo-Arabic Dialects as Jewish Languages provides an in-depth analysis of the diachrony and synchrony of the Judeo-Arabic dialects formed in Morocco from the 16th onwards, their diversity, their constituents, their forms, their categories, and their uses in community and family life.

Drawing on extensive linguistic data from a wide range of sources, including manuscripts and oral performances, this book examines the phonetics, phonology and morphology of the Judeo-Arabic dialects to offer insightful analyses and discoveries. Framed by a theoretical and methodological introduction, this book combines the findings of fieldwork with hundreds of informants from over 130 urban and rural Moroccan Jewish communities, for whom Judeo-Arabic is their mother tongue and primary language, with the advantages of modern linguistic, sociolinguistic, and socio-pragmatic analyses that allow for a better understanding of natural dialectal phenomena and their interpretation.

The book will be relevant to scholars of Arabic dialectology, sociolinguistics, and Jewish languages.

As a translation from L’aborto. Una storia, through the tools of political, social and cultural history, this volume traces the history of abortion practices in Italy through the 20th and 21st centuries.

In 1978 the Italian Parliament approved Law 194, decriminalising abortion practices with precise rules. The law marked a deep break with the past, repealing Title X of the fascist-era penal code. This volume talks about the past, going far beyond the mere history of the law, starting from an innovative periodisation that, while focusing on post-WWII Italy (to the present), highlights continuities and ruptures within the liberal age and particularly within the fascist regime.

History of Abortion in Italy: From Fascism to Present will be of appeal to historians of political history; historians of European fascisms; historians of criminology interested in comparative history, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students, and to readers interested in understanding abortion rights and reproductive health in a global dimension.

By thinking differently about audit, this transformational book establishes that the conceptual core of audit itself is the art of thinking differently: the making of those new connections that inspire the creativity and confidence to challenge established thinking and provide actionable insight. Audit is reconceptualised as a vital, creative, engine of progress ? in society, the economy, the environment and in the appropriate use of technology. Progress requires confidence in the future. Audit addresses whether an audited entity is deserving of confidence and capable of developing ? with deserved confidence flowing from creativity, sustainability, resilience and fair treatment. Audit becomes a form of social conscience, responding to, evaluating and influencing the ideas and ideals that a society or an entity within a society holds dear.

Through such framing, audit no longer observes from the sidelines but drives progress in business and society more generally. Whilst audit’s traditional notions of conformity, control and compliance can be readily captured by a machine, the insight, imagination and inspiration that comes from thinking differently is fundamentally human. In this respect, the future of audit and of humanity converges. This book is not just for auditors and accountants concerned about the future of their profession but is an invitation to all with an interest in the future well-being of business and society to reformulate how they view audit.

Anatomy of Illegal Power explores how illicit markets shape politics, society, and everyday life across Latin America.

Drawing on more than a decade of fieldwork and hundreds of interviews, Lucia Dammert blends vivid human stories with sharp analysis to reveal how “illegal power” is built, sustained, and resisted. Moving beyond crime statistics, she reframes crime as a form of power, exposing the hidden structures that link organized crime to fragile institutions, entrenched corruption, and political disaffection. With a regional lens enriched by case studies from Brazil, El Salvador, Central America, and Chile, she demonstrates how illicit economies, from drugs and mining to logging and extortion, regulate territory, shape politics, and erode democracy.

Written by one of Latin America’s leading authorities on security and organized crime, the book offers clear, policy?relevant insights without relying on militarized “iron?fist” solutions. Instead, it points to practical alternatives: strengthening institutions, investing in education, and fostering international cooperation. Accessible yet rigorous, it is essential reading for students and scholars in politics, sociology, criminology, and Latin American studies, as well as professionals in policy, journalism, and international organizations.

Chapters assess welcoming initiatives across Europe, evaluating how those that engage with migrant newcomers contribute to economic, political and social prosperity in their respective localities. Identifying factors that limit the success of welcoming initiatives, such as fragmentation and challenges in scaling support, contributors illustrate how progress is constrained beyond the local level. This Modern Guide highlights the need for new criteria to define community belonging, based on people’s contributions to their community rather than legal or normative assumptions of belonging. Analysing how migrant newcomers and long-term residents can integrate into a diverse and cohesive community, authors present methods for learning from comparison and scaling up initiatives.

Innovative and timely, A Modern Guide to Migration and Spatial Justice in Europe is a crucial resource for students and scholars of geography, anthropology, sociology, politics and public policy, as well as urban and regional studies. Policymakers will also benefit from its insights into social justice action.

AI for Marketing: The Consumer Perspective examines the human side of AI adoption at a moment when technology is advancing faster than consumer comfort. While millions use AI to search, plan, create and make decisions, trust remains fragile. This book explains why that gap persists and what it means for marketers trying to reach audiences who are both curious and cautious.

Drawing on proprietary research, global studies and behavioral science, the book maps the key barriers marketers must navigate: concerns about accuracy, authenticity, privacy, loss of control and systemic biases. It also identifies the consumer segments most open to AI-enabled products and messaging, including caregivers, multilinguals, sustainability enthusiasts and personalization seekers.

The book offers marketers practical guidance on designing AI-powered experiences that are credible, equitable and human-led. It shows how trust can be built into every touchpoint - from onboarding and data exchange to content creation and customer service - and why doing so is essential for adoption and long-term loyalty.

Drawing on predominant theories of legality from Aristotle and Plato to John Rawls and Ronald Dworkin, Papadaki engages with classic debates, including the content of democratic governance and the relationship between law and morality. She argues that substantive pluralism, the foundational element of democratic legality, underlies the entire legal system from private to public law and political theory. The book explores this concept within diverse areas of law, including negligence and affirmative action, while analyzing the potential for artificial intelligence to empower democratic legality in the future.

Democratic Legality is a valuable resource for scholars and students of legal philosophy, legal and political theory, and law and technology. It is also highly beneficial to policy-makers and law-makers seeking to understand how democratic legality contributes to the principles of freedom and equal citizenship.

Jingwen Liu explores key areas and concepts in FRAND cases, including the legal nature and consequences of a FRAND commitment, the transnational and procedural problems surrounding FRAND litigations and economic perspectives of standard setting and FRAND licensing activities. Liu proposes a three-step analytical framework to assess SEP-based injunctions, including a timely examination of the 'willing licensor' and 'willing licensee' tests. The book concludes that the only way to properly address injunction issues is through adopting an expansive interpretation of FRAND, which converts it from a one-off, rate-based requirement to an ongoing, conduct-based principle.

Adopting both a chronological and a jurisdictional approach, The Availability of Standard-Essential Patent-Based Injunctions is a vital resource for scholars and students of intellectual property law and antitrust law. Legal practitioners and policymakers will similarly benefit from its timely recommendations for refining SEP-based injunction assessments.

This volume examines the evolution of criminal policy, focusing on penal policy in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries from the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the present and analysing the policy decisions, regulations, and specific conditions that have influenced these developments.

The chapters analyse penal policy across ten countries, highlighting the principal characteristics of each nation's approach and examining their differences, with particular attention to criminal law, criminalization, sentencing practices, and criminal justice. Focusing on Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Bulgaria, the Czechia, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia, the book demonstrates how state responses to crime and penal policy have evolved and provides insight into the underlying processes and significant events that have driven these changes.

Employing a comparative methodology and incorporating two cross-cutting chapters on penal policy, sentencing practices, and the rise of penal populism, Development of Criminal Policy in Central and Eastern European Countries is intended for students and scholars of criminology, criminal justice, criminal law, and political science.

This volume examines the similarities between the Indian and Latin American philosophical traditions while also highlighting how these similarities have materialized differently in the Indian or in the Latin American context. The essays in the volume use identifiable conceptual categories that not only pairs some of the Indian philosophical works with corresponding Latin American philosophical works but also highlight the differences and unique developments in each philosophical tradition. Most importantly, the volume will include a common and combined glossary of philosophical categories or expressions in both traditions.
The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy, Latin American and South Asian studies.

By integrating social ontology and epistemology, the book offers a systematic realist account of tourism, explaining how tourist entities, institutions, and practices are constituted, how tourism reality is structured as a domain of social reality, and how knowledge about this domain can be justified.

It provides a clear philosophical foundation for understanding tourism by learning how tourism reality is constituted and how knowledge about it can be justified. The book delivers these benefits through a systematic framework that integrates social ontology and epistemology, drawing on realist philosophy and Searle-inspired social ontology. It clarifies key concepts, distinguishes types of entities and facts within tourism reality, and explains the institutional mechanisms, such as collective intentionality, status functions, and constitutive rules, which structure the tourism domain. These theoretical arguments are illustrated with real-world examples from tourism practice that help explain how particular aspects of the framework operate in concrete contexts. By combining conceptual analysis with a coherent epistemological account of how tourism knowledge can be evaluated, the book provides researchers and advanced students with a rigorous meta-theoretical framework that supports clearer interpretation, stronger theoretical grounding, and more consistent research in tourism studies.

The book is intended primarily for scholars, researchers, and postgraduates in tourism studies who seek a deeper theoretical and philosophical understanding of tourism as a social phenomenon. It will also be of interest to academics in sociology, human geography, economics, anthropology, and philosophy of the social sciences, particularly those concerned with social ontology and epistemology. It may also benefit advanced graduate students and researchers engaged in theoretical, conceptual, or interdisciplinary work on tourism and social reality for its analysis of tourism reality.

This volume offers a comprehensive examination of language policy and planning across the Arabic?speaking world, from historical Arabization to contemporary digital revitalization.

Using comparative case studies in education, justice, public services, conflict zones, and higher education, it explores key tensions such as diglossia versus dialect equity, English?medium instruction versus mother?tongue rights, and Modern Standard Arabic standardization amid Tamazight resurgence. The chapters examine implementation gaps, institutional capacity, and innovative tools such as register?aware natural language processing, while also addressing minority languages, conflict?sensitive governance, and linguistic hierarchies shaped by globalization. Bridging theory and practice, this book presents evidence?based mechanisms, including annual reviews, theory?of?change monitoring, and capacity?before?scale approaches, to promote equitable outcomes and linguistic justice.

Essential for scholars of sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, Middle Eastern studies, and policy practitioners, it fosters inclusive dialogue aimed at preserving the region’s rich multilingual heritage.

China's rapid (re)ascendance as a global power, fuelled by its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has arguably become the most significant challenge to the United States' dominance, reshaping international relations and sparking debates over the future of the global order.

This book examines how the US has received and strategically constructed narratives around China's BRI to counter its influence. Offering a thorough analysis of US narratives and policies, it explores economic, security, technological, and political dimensions. By integrating critical constructivist and poststructuralist theories with thematic and narrative analysis, the author traces the evolution of these narratives, revealing how the US foreign policy elites selectively (re)constructs BRI narratives to delegitimise the initiative, justify countermeasures, undermine China's global influence, and sustain its waning supremacy in the global order. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including official documents, key speeches, and think tank publications, the author uncovers how US strategic narratives of the BRI are collaboratively shaped through a network of inter-narratives involving policy elites, allies, middle powers, and critics, rather than being solely driven by the US government.

This volume will be of great interest to scholars and students of international relations, public diplomacy, US foreign policy, China studies, as well as practitioners and observers involved in BRI projects around the world.

This edited collection of biographical and autobiographical essays chronicles the transformative journeys of Australian planners who, confronting unprecedented urban challenges in the late twentieth century, pioneered new concepts, methodologies, and approaches that fundamentally reshaped the trajectory of urban planning for the twenty-first century.

The essays illuminate the profound social, economic, and technological upheavals of this era, as the established planning paradigm fractured into multiple specialized approaches ? environmental planning, social planning, advocacy planning, collaborative planning, and others. These emerging frameworks, directly linked to rapid urbanisation processes, reverberated through urban planning practice and governance structures. The result was a radical reimagining of the planning model itself, driven by critical reassessments of conventional practice, methodological innovations, grassroots demands for meaningful community participation, and heightened attention to previously marginalised concerns: the needs of women and children, Indigenous culture and rights, heritage conservation, environmental sustainability, and social equity.

Reinventing Urban Planning in Australia will appeal to readers interested in the history of urban and social transformation, the evolution of planning theory and policy, Australian urbanism, planning history, and professional biography. It bridges key disciplines including history, geography, urban planning, and environmental studies, offering valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and students alike.

The earliest collections of Egyptian artifacts were those pieces taken by the Roman empire. There are more Egyptian obelisks in Rome today than there are left in Egypt. In the nineteenth century, British collections were built by the same people whose work comprises volume two. They began as private collections, meant as status symbols usually for the wealthy, or for those who wished to show evidence of their wide travels. However, gradually, many of these collections were left in wills to municipal institutions or turned into publicly available collections themselves.

The British Museum, originally founded in 1759, opened its first purpose built gallery for Egyptian antiquities in 1808. The Townley Gallery was built to house the antiquities seized from the French in 1801, including the Rosetta Stone, and the collection has been growing ever since. Later, the British Museum hired people who were already in Egypt, or who were going to Egypt of their own accord, to gather and send back artifacts. As the discipline of archaeology in Egypt became a scholarly pursuit, museums began to sponsor their own expeditions in order to fill their now bursting stores. Collecting in order to possess the past, both physically and ideologically, of a subjected people was the point.

This book provides a new take on the longstanding puzzle of intervention effects in questions, whereby specific scopal expressions block the interpretation of wh-elements when they occupy a particular position in the semantic representation.

Its central argument is that intervention effects are not a homogeneous phenomenon with a uniform underlying structure mapped to a single interpretive mechanism. Rather, they have distinct sources-a distinction that, to date, has not been systematically made in the study of intervention. The work distinguishes two types of intervention: one stemming from focus-based interpretation failure and another rooted in topicality constraints. Consequently, it proposes a new typology that clarifies the field and paves the way for future cross-linguistic research.

Semanticists, syntacticians, pragmatics researchers, and experts in logic and the philosophy of language will find this book illuminating.
