Monsters in Love
A gritty, down-to-earth guide for real-life couples Conflict is a natural part of any intimate relationship. Yet most couples either avoid it or try to smooth over their differences. This often results in at least one partner compromising their integrity—and stunting their own growth. Monsters in Love challenges the idea that conflict between partners is unhealthy or something to avoid. Instead, it encourages both people to stand by what they need and who they are—but to do so with compassion rather than competitiveness or vengefulness. This book is about the reality of committed, intimate relationships, which are designed to inspire both people to grow up. It challenges some common misperceptions about what makes for a successful partnership. It also rocks the boat of psychotherapy, calling out therapists who don't bring their best to their clients. Instead of comforting fantasies or false promises, Monsters in Love offers you and your partner a chance to make your relationship—and your lives—much bigger and more emergent.
The Democratic Horizon
Alessandro Ferrara explains what he terms 'the democratic horizon' - the idea that democracy is no longer simply one form of government among others, but is instead almost universally regarded as the only legitimate form of government, the horizon to which most of us look. Professor Ferrara reviews the challenges under which democracies must operate, focusing on hyperpluralism, and impresses a new twist onto the framework of political liberalism. He shows that distinguishing real democracies from imitations can be difficult, responding to this predicament by enriching readers' understanding of the spirit of democracy; clearing readers' views of pluralism from residues of ethnocentrism; and conceiving multiple versions of democratic culture, rooted in the diversity of civilizational contexts.
The Force of the Example
During the twentieth century, the view that assertions and norms are valid insofar as they respond to principles independent of all local and temporal contexts came under attack from two perspectives: the partiality of translation and the intersubjective constitution of the self, understood as responsive to recognition. Defenses of universalism have by and large taken the form of a thinning out of substantive universalism into various forms of proceduralism. Alessandro Ferrara instead launches an entirely different strategy for transcending the particularity of context without contradicting our pluralistic intuitions: a strategy centered on the exemplary universalism of judgment. Whereas exe...
Sovereignty Across Generations
Every cohort of voters may dream of being 'the people' under the sway of serial visions of sovereignty; or understand itself, more modestly, as co-author of a constitutional project in a cross-generational sequence rooted in the past and extending into the future. Sovereignty Across Generations offers a theory of democratic sovereignty and constituent power grounded in John Rawls's political liberalism. Neither exegetic nor abstractly analytic, this book assumes that 'political liberalism' is broader than Political Liberalism. In answering the question 'How is it possible for there to exist over time a just and stable society of free and equal citizens, who remain profoundly divided by reaso...
Therapy with Displaced and Highly Mobile Individuals
This book provides therapists with an understanding of displacement-related issues to help them better serve potential clients such as emigrants, expats, migrants, digital nomads – all those who have left their original home country behind and moved to a different culture and place. With the spread of communication technologies, psychotherapists are expanding their practice to the online setting and into the unfamiliar waters of transcultural counselling with highly mobile and displaced individuals. Building on her research, the author brings up new concepts in therapy practice with emigrants, calling for a displacement-focused, transcultural approach for a modern psychotherapy practice, b...
When Home Fails
As I write this story, a politician in power, somewhere, is living peacefully and lavishly in a mansion, carelessly creating policies that disfavor the “common,” to further their own ambitions. They are doing all but what they promised their citizens and threatening anyone who dares to question. Shame! The hill finished in a marshy valley that hosted every breed of mosquito in the world. A sharp hissing sound sounded out from the grass. They may have doubted the trills they’d heard in the morning, but they knew for certain what this came from. “Guys!” Kingsley started stepping back slowly. “Shush!” Isa said. “It’s over for us,” Kingsley declared. An anaconda was submerged in the still water... A thrilling account of a group of migrants fleeing to safety.

Blodhundar

Men när en israelisk ambassadör mördas i Malmö kastas hon in i ett nytt journalistiskt uppdrag, som tvingar henne att väcka liv i sitt dolda förflutna. Riskerar hennes djupt begravda hemlighet att avslöjas? För att skydda sin familj och hämnas dem som förrådde henne ikläder hon sig sin forna roll och slår tillbaka mot blodhundarna som jagar henne. Tillsammans med sin dotter Trine och mamma Karin dras hon in i en härva av lögner, svek och död med förgreningar till såväl Mellanöstern och utländska säkerhetstjänster som en liten ort i Småland.

Författarparet Claes och Eva Fürstenberg bjuder på en nervkittlande cocktail av pusseldeckare, actionthriller, spionroman och familjedrama.
