Taproots for Transformation
Set against a background of hugely irrational social dysfunction and restlessness, the essence of the book concerns the ideal of people growing into a sufficient wholeness, integration and contentment in their identity. This requires all of us to take due account of each component of our personality (body, intellect, soul-spirit, emotion, and creativity) and intentionally nurturing these. Then, at each life-stage, we may function better as healthy citizens in family and community settings, being effective as role models, mentors and leaders in varied levels and contexts. The book therefore challenges us to take our whole nature seriously as individuals, within the reality of our social, phys...
Radicalism and Music
Radicalism and Music offers a convincing argument for music's transformational impact on the radicalization, reinforcement, and motivational techniques of violent political activists. It makes a case for the careful examination of music's roles in radical cultures, roles that have serious impacts, as evidenced by the actions of the Frankfurt Airport shooter Arid Uka, Sikh Temple murderer Wade Page, white supremacist Matthew Hale, and animal-rights activist Walter Bond, among others. Such cases bring up difficult questions about how those involved in radical groups can be stirred to feel or act under the influence of music. Radicalism and Music is based on interviews, email correspondence, co...
Cultural Sustainabilities
Environmental sustainability and human cultural sustainability are inextricably linked. Reversing damaging human impact on the global environment is ultimately a cultural question, and as with politics, the answers are often profoundly local.

Contributing to the environmental humanities, the authors embrace and even celebrate human engagement with ecosystems, though with a...
Restless
It is 1939. Eva Delectorskaya is a beautiful 28-year-old Russian émigrée living in Paris. As war breaks out she is recruited for the British Secret Service by Lucas Romer, a mysterious Englishman, and under his tutelage she learns to become the perfect spy, to mask her emotions and trust no one, including those she loves most. Since the war, Eva has carefully rebuilt her life as a typically English wife and mother. But once a spy, always a spy. Now she must complete one final assignment, and this time Eva can't do it alone: she needs her daughter's help.
Pathos, Affekt, Gefühl
Der Band widmet sich einem Thema, dessen Aktualität sich nicht nur aus den psychologischen und neurologischen Erkenntnissen der Gegenwart begründet, sondern auch durch eine Vielzahl neuer Deutungen in den Kultur- und Geisteswissenschaften. In bisher einzigartiger Weise fasst er über die Grenzen der Disziplinen hinweg, aber auch Theorie und Praxis übergreifend die aktuelle Debatte zu den Emotionen in den Künsten zusammen. Es diskutieren Hirnforscher und Psychoanalytiker, Philosophen, Kunsthistoriker und Künstler, Musik-, Literatur- und Filmwissenschaftler. Die Aufsätze sprechen sowohl Fachleute als auch interessierte Laien an. Sie ermöglichen einen profunden Einblick in die Frage, was unter Affekt und Gefühl verstanden werden kann und wie Emotionen in den Künsten wirksam werden.
