Cy Twombly: Making Past Present
Luscious reproductions of more than 50 of Twombly's paintings, drawings and little-known sculptures, along with classical works of art, tell the story of an American abstractionist's poetical dialogue with antiquity Cy Twombly's first visit to Italy as a young man ignited a lifelong passion for classical culture that is everywhere present in his art. Painted canvases, works on paper and small-scale sculptures reveal the historical soul of Twombly's abstract compositions. Taking on myths and heroes as personal guides, he created a psychologically complex dialogue with the visual and literary art of antiquity. This sumptuously illustrated publication reproduces a carefully chosen selection of ...
Social Cognition in Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is associated with a significant impairment in overall functioning in work, social and family levels, even during periods of sustained and substantial remission. Social cognition implies those processes in "how individuals think about themselves, others, social situations and their interactions". This book reviews the social cognition deficits in bipolar disorder and its possible influence in psychosocial disadjustment.
Compliant Rebels
This book analyzes civil wars over the past twenty years and examines what motivates some rebel groups to abide by international law.
Multiplex Networks
This book provides the basis of a formal language and explores its possibilities in the characterization of multiplex networks. Armed with the formalism developed, the authors define structural metrics for multiplex networks. A methodology to generalize monoplex structural metrics to multiplex networks is also presented so that the reader will be able to generalize other metrics of interest in a systematic way. Therefore, this book will serve as a guide for the theoretical development of new multiplex metrics. Furthermore, this Brief describes the spectral properties of these networks in relation to concepts from algebraic graph theory and the theory of matrix polynomials. The text is rounded off by analyzing the different structural transitions present in multiplex systems as well as by a brief overview of some representative dynamical processes. Multiplex Networks will appeal to students, researchers, and professionals within the fields of network science, graph theory, and data science.
Human rights in evidence
Marking 25 years since Mattos Filho first began providing pro bono services, the third volume of Human Rights in Evidence reaffirms the firm's commitment to defending human rights and democratizing access to justice. As part of its efforts toward fulfilling the social role of legal practice, Mattos Filho has pioneered the practice of providing exemplary free legal assistance in Brazil. These services are directed both at people in socioeconomically vulnerable situations and non-profit organizations lacking the financial resources to pay for legal services. Mattos Filho also seeks to produce and disseminate technical information, preparing memoranda, legal opinions, and research with Brazilia...
Paying for Pleasure
Drawing on original empirical data with men who buy sex, this book takes a fresh look at the relationships clients have with female sex workers. The core questions that form the backbone of the research are not only the expected inquiry into 'why men buy sex', but also into the sociological and psychological processes that men encounter in order to enter an assumed 'deviant' sexual behaviour as part of their everyday lives. These sociological processes of finding, negotiating and buying sexual services are complicated by the stigma directed towards men who buy sex. Exactly how do men behave with sex workers; what are their relationships like; what emotions are involved and can intimacy be bo...
