The Folktale
As interest in folklore increases, the folktale acquires greater significance for students and teachers of literature. The material is massive and scattered; thus, few students or teachers have accessibility to other than small segments or singular tales or material they find buried in archives. Stith Thompson has divided his book into four sections which permit both the novice and the teacher to examine oral tradition and its manifestation in folklore. The introductory section discusses the nature and forms of the folktale. A comprehensive second part traces the folktale geographically from Ireland to India, giving culturally diverse examples of the forms presented in the first part. The examples are followed by the analysis of several themes in such tales from North American Indian cultures. The concluding section treats theories of the folktale, the collection and classification of folk narrative, and then analyzes the living folklore process. This work will appeal to students of the sociology of literature, professors of comparative literature, and general readers interested in folklore.

Volume 4: Policy and Planning
Cities play a major role in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic as many measures are adopted at the scale of cities and involve adjustments to the way urban areas operate. Drawing from case studies across the globe, this book explores how the pandemic and the policies it has prompted have caused changes in the ways cities function. The contributors examine the advancing social inequality brought on by the pandemic and suggest policies intended to contain contagion whilst managing the economy in these circumstances. Offering crucial insights for reforming cities to be more resilient to future crises, this is an invaluable resource for scholars and policy makers alike.
Women's Mental Health Services
In this volume, authorities from around the United States and from a variety of perspectives analyze and discuss key topics in women's mental health, including empowerment, substance abuse, severe mental illness and interpersonal violence. Issues examined in the first part focus on service delivery - for example, the organizational structure of service delivery, gender and racial service disparities, and challenges women face as mental health administrators. Contributors to Part Two explore special issues and populations, including women who have survived trauma such as sexual abuse, and women with mental disorders who are in prison.
Falling Leaves [Yaprak Dokumu]
Resat Nuri Guntekin (1889-1956) published Yaprak Dokumu in 1930. It's a tragicomic novel of bourgeois life in a rapidly changing Istanbul. The novel magnificently and richly depicts Turkish family and work life under stresses caused by the rapid introduction of modern and European norms. The hero, Master Ali Riza, an idealistic ex civil servant who translates business documents for the firm of Goldleaf Limited, leaves the firm out of profound moral scruples, and this leads to extreme financial stresses on his family. This is a new translation, illustrated with caricatures from the satirical weekly "kalem" published in the early 20th century. Discounts are available for volume purchases.
Bioethics in a Changing World
Bioethics in a Changing World is an introductory textbook for individuals who are new to the study of bioethics.This interdisciplinary field, which encompasses philosophy, religion, sociology, gerontology, psychiatry, biomedical science, law, and nursing (to name a few), has been rapidly growing and developing over the last half-century.In order to get a handle on what "doing" bioethics entails, it is helpful to start with the basic philosophical foundations of bioethical theory and then consider a variety of trenchant issues that arise from the practice of medicine and the provision of health care services within an age of technology. In constructing this textbook, the central aim has been to guide readers in developing a clear sense of how theory and practice are linked in the dynamic field of bioethics.Though new problems and issues in bioethics are constantly arising, it is important to focus on the persistence of foundational questions that applyto new contexts.
