The Critique of Pure Information offers a critical rethinking of disinformation, misinformation, and "post-truth" politics by challenging the assumption that political deception is best understood as a problem of false or impure information.

This book argues that the dominant vocabulary of "information disorder" has helped install an infocentric model of communication, one that reduces deceptive public communication to faulty content, corrupted circulation, or deficient belief. Combining conceptual history, communication theory, systematic review, and close rhetorical analysis, the book shows how deception and confusion work through rhetoric, style, genre, image-text composition, platformed circulation, affect, and public uptake. Through an extended case study of a long-circulating Trump quotation meme, it demonstrates why democratic communication cannot be repaired by fact-checking, media literacy, platform governance, or AI detection alone.

This fascinating and insightful study will be of great interest to students and scholars of media and communication, journalism, media ethics, political science, and sociology.

Widely considered two of the most controversial legal scholars, Hans Kelsen and Carl Schmitt have been the subject of debate for almost a century. This book focuses on a limited but extremely important controversy between Kelsen and Schmitt: the answer to the question regarding the proper guardian of the constitution. This debate goes to the heart of political power and legal thinking. The work presents a detailed examination of the three key documents from 1927 to 1933 regarding this controversy. An understanding of these writings will aid in comprehending the larger controversy between Kelsen and Schmitt with respect to discussion or decisionism, law or power, and democracy or dictatorship.

As much about the conflict between pluralism and unity and between democracy and autocracy as it is about a specific historical controversy, this study will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of jurisprudence and legal philosophy, constitutional law and theory, political philosophy and legal history.

Logan R. Hoffman deftly crafts a reconstruction and evaluation of the Doctrine of God in Friedrich Schleiermacher's primary theological work: The Christian Faith. This book identifies the new-found limitations to theological speech that were contemporary in Schleiermacher's day before offering a distinctive interpretation of Schleiermacher's solution for these limitations.

This work reconstructs what Schleiermacher had to say about the divine being, a subject seldom treated in book-length detail. By looking closely at the theological method employed (and offering a distinctive interpretation of Schleiermacher's method among Anglophone scholars), and then tracing that method through the major sections of The Christian Faith, the book brings clarity to what exactly Schleiermacher could justifiably say about God as given in the Feeling of Absolute Dependence.

This book offers a comprehensive examination of the Customs Tariff-its structure, purpose, and role in global trade by combining economic theory, international governance, practical application, and contemporary policy issues. It begins by introducing the fundamentals of the Customs Tariff and the economic principles behind supply, demand, and the impact of unit taxes such as import duties. It then explores the global institutions that shape tariff policy: the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Customs Organization (WCO), explaining their roles in regulating international trade and maintaining the Harmonized System used worldwide.

A substantial portion of the book focuses on the structure and mechanics of the tariff itself, including commodity codes, General Interpretative Rules (GIRs), duty rates, tariff engineering, quotas, and non-tariff measures such as anti-dumping and countervailing duties. It explains how tariffs function as fiscal tools, regulatory mechanisms, and political instruments-covering topics like tariff inversion, protectionism, and the weaponization of tariffs in foreign policy.

The book also addresses modern trade challenges, including supply-chain risk, rules of origin, trade creation and diversion, and the operation of free-trade agreements and customs unions. It highlights the importance of competence and awareness among traders and customs professionals when navigating tariff systems. Later chapters examine recent U.S. tariff policies, including Section 301 and 232 actions, and discuss how tariffs are used to protect domestic industries or influence international behavior. The book concludes by considering the growing role of artificial intelligence in tariff classification and compliance, and reflects on the future of tariff policy in an evolving global trade environment.

This innovative textbook edited by international experts in technology law and policy provides a comprehensive and accessible guide into the fast-evolving landscape of technology law and policy in the UK and the EU.

The recent wave of regulatory reforms adopted by UK and EU regulators increases the complexity of Internet law as it had developed in the past decades. Recognising the ever-growing importance of artificial intelligence in today's public discourse, the textbook extends beyond traditional legal sectoral frameworks, and explores the intersection of law, technology, and public policy to describe and critically reflect on current and emerging issues in the modern information society.

As well as providing accessible guides to how law and policy came to be made in relation to topics like platform liability, AI, copyright, and privacy and data protection, the book also homes in on key areas such as the EU AI Act, adtech regulation, social media, chatbots, the gig worker economy, cybersecurity and predictive policing."

The companion website provides multimedia resources to delve deeper into specific topics; introductory materials for readers that are unfamiliar with the EU legal system; and teaching resources.

Interviewing Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: Volume II Becomings, in the Stories from the Ends of the Earth series, offers a reflective and dialogical exploration of neuropsychological rehabilitation through the voices of those who have shaped-and continue to shape-the field. Compiled and edited by Dr. Christian Salas, this volume brings together a series of in-depth interviews that illuminate how the discipline has evolved not as a finished body of knowledge, but as an ongoing process of construction, adaptation, and expansion.

While the first volume traced the origins and foundational developments of neuropsychological rehabilitation, Becomings focuses on what the field is becoming. It captures a moment in which the discipline is widening its scope-moving beyond its traditional cognitive and functional focus to engage more explicitly with dimensions that were historically present but often underemphasized. Through conversations with leading figures such as Jon Evans, Rudi Coetzer, Urvashi Shah, Ann Watts, Sofia Braga, Barbara Wilson, Ann Norup, Giles Yeates, Fergus Gracey and Skye McDonald, this volume highlights the growing relevance of themes such as identity reconstruction, emotional life, interpersonal relationships, and the role of family and community in recovery.

Set against the backdrop of Chile-whose name means "the ends of the earth"-the book maintains a decolonial and cross-cultural perspective, foregrounding voices and practices that extend beyond traditional centers of knowledge production. In doing so, it portrays neuropsychological rehabilitation as a dynamic, evolving, and deeply human practice.

This volume will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students in clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and allied health fields seeking to understand not only where the discipline comes from, but where it is going.

Jacques Lacan's Autres Ecrits, compiled by Jacques Alain Miller for Lacan's centennial, remains untranslated as a complete volume in English, though many individual pieces are available. This book begins a series offering a thorough commentary on the collection.

This first volume in the series covers the first two sections of the collection. Section II consists of early Lacanian texts and the commentaries here provide a fascinating and important insight into Lacan's thinking from the 1930s and 1940s and seek to position these early writings in the broader context of Lacan's oeuvre. Section I consists of two very different pieces which each, in rather different ways, serve as introductions to the Autres Ecrits. First we have Jacques Alain Miller's prologue which provides something of a context for the collection as a whole while also constituting a curious post-Lacanian artefact in its own right. This is followed by 'Lituraterre', a later piece by Lacan which considers the function of writing and literary creation and thus provides something of a conceptual framework to the collection qua collection of written works.

This commentary provides an invaluable support for Anglophone readers of Lacan, including psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, historians of ideas, and anyone curious to access many of Lacan's less well known texts in English.

Tony Lawson is among the most influential economists of his generation. He has reclaimed a place for explicit, sustained, ontological analysis in economics demonstrating how its decades- long neglect has hampered the discipline. Regarding social theorising more generally, Lawson has been centrally involved in developing a compelling account of the very nature of social reality (systematised as social positioning theory), showing how it can sponsor powerful new treatments of the nature of money, corporations and gender. He has also engaged in ethical theorising to explore possibilities for emancipatory change. For those seeking a relevant approach to economics specifically, or indeed social theorising in general, his work has been agenda-setting.

The essays in this volume have been written in Tony Lawson's honour. Leading heterodox economists, social theorists and legal scholars engage constructively and critically with Lawson's landmark contributions. The essays explore: cutting edge developments in social ontology, issues at the interface between ontology, economics and ethics and topics concerning the state and history of economics. Collectively the essays demonstrate that the perspectives Lawson outlines have critical purchase upon an extraordinary range of vital contemporary issues.

The book will interest those searching for new relevant directions in social theory and philosophy and all concerned with the future (and history) of economics.

The Caribbean World provides a comprehensive introduction to the region.

The contributors to this volume provide intimate case studies of a range of topics, including:

• The Greater Antilles
• The Caribbean Coast
• The Interior
• The smallest islands of the archipelago
• Indigeneity, Genocide
• Plantation Slavery, Indenture Colonial Violence, and Anti-colonial Revolt Sovereignty
• Citizenship, Law, and Politics
• Religion and Ritual
• Gender and Kinship
• The Environment.

By convening an internationally renowned cohort of authors from the Caribbean, Latin America, North America, and Europe, this volume is intended to remain a touchstone for future generations of scholars and a mainstay on undergraduate and graduate curricula as an introduction to the field.

This book explores the complex relationship between climate change and human behaviour, which is often shaped by cognitive biases, established norms, past experiences, and a tendency toward maintaining the status quo-making meaningful change challenging. It brings together a diverse range of contributions that examine international and industry contexts through the lens of behavioural economics, addressing persistent intention-action gap.

The book is divided into three parts. Part I introduces the theoretical foundations and traces the evolution of scientific thought from classical rationality to bounded rationality and ethicality in the context of climate change. It includes a systematic bibliometric mapping of global research trends and examines the crucial role of information flows, media literacy, and disinformation in shaping climate attitudes. Part II focuses on climate change mitigation, presenting empirical studies on energy transitions, fossil fuel "addiction," and circular economy interventions specifically targeting the consumption patterns of adolescents and young adults. Part III addresses spatial and community adaptation, exploring mobility patterns, nature-based solutions in European cities, and the management of private green spaces. It concludes with global perspectives on climate migration narratives and the collective resilience of Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

By offering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary look at human behaviour in the face of climate change, the book integrates advanced methods such as discrete choice experiments, social network analysis, and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) which inspires further research and action in this ever-evolving field. It is essential reading for academics, researchers, students, as well as economists, environmentalists and policymakers concerned with the economic and psychological dimensions of climate-related decision-making.

Leaders are the backbone of any school and how effective they are can make or break a school community. Yet school leadership is a complex journey fraught with pitfalls and challenges. In this inspiring book, Michael Chiles and Haili Hughes show that leadership isn't just having a title, but about actions, choices, and the ability to adapt to different situations.

The book introduces the Head, Heart, and, Hands model to help leaders navigate the challenges of school leadership. It focuses on the obstacles that often hold schools back, from personal struggles like self-doubt, overwork, and conflict avoidance to relational issues such as broken trust, resistant staff, and parent concerns. The chapters guide the reader through these challenges asking:

• Head: What do we need to understand? What's the real problem? What evidence matters? What strategy works best here?
• Heart: What values are important? How do we support people? How can we build and sustain trust?
• Hands: What actions should we take? What systems or routines will help? How can we empower others and track progress?

Written by two leading experts, this is essential reading for leaders who want to clear the path of obstacles and create the conditions where the whole school community can thrive.

In an age of climate disruption, economic insecurity, technological acceleration, political fracture, and intensifying great-power rivalry, crises no longer arrive one at a time. Global Polycrisis offers a clear and compelling guide to the defining condition of our century: the convergence of multiple large-scale disruptions that interact, amplify one another, and defy conventional solutions.

Organized around eight interlocking domains-energy, economy, technology, Earth systems, food, ideology, mental health, and geopolitics-the book shows how ecological overshoot, precarity, social fragmentation, and militarized competition are not separate problems but expressions of a deeper systemic disorder. Each chapter pairs rigorous analysis with an experiential project that moves learning beyond abstraction, inviting readers to connect planetary-scale forces to everyday institutions, and personal lifestyle choices.

Ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in global studies, leadership, environmental studies, political economy, and related fields, this book also speaks to educators, practitioners, and serious readers seeking an accessible, ethically grounded framework for understanding a turbulent world.

This book explores the concept of criticality, a quality that supports a deeper understanding of complex situations that people encounter at work and interpersonal relationship. For contemporary coaches it offers ideas on how they can develop the essential quality of criticality to work with clients in a significantly changing world.

Criticality is seen not just as critical thinking skills but as a state of mind that involves a philosophical stance, an emotional attitude and an agentic action. The book provides coaches with intellectually rich material and many practical ways for the development of their criticality and existentially coherent ways of responding to current realities. This in turn should equip coaches for helping clients to question and examine their work and life in the most meaningful ways.

This book will appeal to both new and experienced coaches, coaching supervisors and coaching educators. It will also be of interest to other practitioners of professional services based on interpersonal relationships, such as those in applied psychology, counselling, and psychotherapy.

In this volume, Janka Kormos offers a comprehensive historical and theoretical analysis of the life and work of Judith S. Kestenberg, exploring her pioneering contributions to the somatic foundations of psychic development.

The volume traces Kestenberg's journey as a Polish-Jewish emigre in New York's psychoanalytic circles, illuminating her psychodynamic theory of movement and method of movement analysis within postwar American mental health sciences. Kormos presents Kestenberg as a nonconformist, an innovative and eclectic thinker who gravitated towards the unknown and unspoken, highlighting the somatic precursors of psychic development and the kinaesthetic imprints of transgenerational trauma. Through Kestenberg's work, the book explores questions of disciplinary positioning, transdisciplinarity and the evolving relationship between the arts and psychological practice throughout the 20th century. It also contributes to our understanding of postwar American psychological sciences, within which the study of bodily movement became increasingly central.

QR codes throughout the volume offer readers exclusive access to archival material compiled by Kormos. Previously unavailable to the public, these documents reveal intimate details of Kestenberg's life and work and will be invaluable to graduate students and researchers in psychoanalytic studies, body-oriented psychotherapy, dance/movement therapy and the history of psychology. The Life and Work of Judith S. Kestenberg is a vital resource for scholars in the history of psychological sciences, psychoanalysts, arts and dance therapy practitioners, and trainees seeking insight into somatic approaches to trauma and the integration of embodied practices within therapeutic frameworks.

Causal Inference in Marketing: A Practical Toolkit for Panel Data is a two-volume guide to turning messy marketing panels into credible causal evidence. Written for data scientists, marketing analysts, econometricians, and applied researchers, it connects modern causal inference with the operational realities of advertising, pricing, loyalty, platforms, and marketing effectiveness. The set is distinctive in its design-first treatment of panel data: it begins with estimands, assignment mechanisms, support, and diagnostics before moving to estimators. Readers should be comfortable with regression and applied statistics, but the exposition is built to make the assumptions behind causal claims explicit rather than hidden inside software defaults.

Across the two volumes, readers learn how to choose, implement, diagnose, and report causal designs for marketing measurement. Volume 1 develops the foundations, including potential outcomes, design-based thinking for panels, difference-in-differences, event-study designs, synthetic control, hybrid synthetic control methods, interactive fixed effects, matrix completion, dynamic treatment effects, heterogeneity, interference, and spillovers. Volume 2 extends the toolkit to machine learning for nuisance adjustment and treatment-effect heterogeneity, high-dimensional controls, regularisation, continuous and nonlinear panel models, threats to validity, inference and uncertainty quantification, design diagnostics, and applied marketing workflows. The result is a practical framework for evaluating incrementality, media mix models, geo-experiments, platform data, pricing, promotions, customer lifetime value, retention, and reproducibility while keeping the causal target, data limitations, and business decision aligned.

This book provides a fresh perspective on business strategy and business modeling, tailored to the dynamic creative and cultural industries.

Key features include a comprehensive review of business strategy evolution, a detailed examination of business model innovation, and the introduction of the "Human-Centered AI Business Model" in light of AI's growing influence. The book's integrated framework combines academic rigor with practical relevance, equipping readers with strategic tools to navigate complexity and gain competitive advantage. Ideal for researchers, academicians, and advanced students in strategic management, entrepreneurship, and cultural industries, this book also serves as a practical guide for managers and entrepreneurs seeking to design organizations that thrive in complexity. With its unique focus on creative and cultural industries, it appeals to a global audience, particularly in regions with strong policy support for these sectors, such as Europe, Canada, and the United States.

A Continuing Journey of Currere invites readers into the evolving process of understanding currere, a concept introduced by William F. Pinar in the 1970s.

Rather than viewing curriculum as planned, currere frames curriculum as a lived journey of self-understanding. It calls readers to turn inward to explore themselves in relation to others and the world while situating within the entanglement of past, present, and future. Drawing on Pinar's work, this book provides an understanding of currere that is interwoven with cosmopolitanism, poetic inquiry, ethics, teacher education, and the idea of punctuated manifestations-moments of pause, shift, or intensification that disrupt experience. Currere, here, becomes a lived guide for navigating the fluidity of life, engaging readers in feeling and thought, the given and the possible, the inner and outer worlds.

Richly reflective and deeply empathic, this volume offers a pathway toward a more embodied, attuned, and fluid sense of self, transforming curriculum into an ongoing journey of exploration.
