The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization
The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization explores the nature of contemporary malaises, diseases, illnesses and psychosomatic syndromes, examining the manner in which they are related to cultural pathologies of the social body. Multi-disciplinary in approach, the book is concerned with questions of how these conditions are not only manifest at the level of individual patients' bodies, but also how the social 'bodies politic' are related to the hegemony of reductive biomedical and individual-psychologistic perspectives. Rejecting a reductive, biomedical and individualistic diagnosis of contemporary problems of health and well-being, The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilizatio...
Moraine
Mai and Ming Preuss are finders. Mai rides a Harley and Ming makes scrapbooks. They survive in the Chicago Territories after decades of a nation-wide economic, environmental, and social collapse, what is now called the New Normal. An old teacher from Chicago asks Mai to assist in solving a kidnapping case that affects the present and future of Moraine, a cultural Protectorate in Southeastern Wisconsin founded by the infamous industrial designer Nathaniel Spaulding. Moraine is one of a small group of protectorates designated to preserve and enhance knowledge and culture as cities and regions implode and overall population declines. Its future is in question because of a conspiracy of political, military, and environmental leaders to redistribute the U.S. population to the east and west coasts and supposedly mitigate further environmental decline. Solving the kidnapping draws Mai and Ming into a web of deceit in Moraine and beyond and puts them at risk of losing everything as their finding transforms into a more ambitious and dangerous quest.
Social Work and Research in Advanced Welfare States
The aim of this book is to exemplify the ways in which social work and research develop in ‘advanced’ welfare states – countries where public spending is relatively high as a proportion of GNP. While such countries have traditionally been associated with Scandinavian countries in particular, and North-Western Europe more generally, there are other countries where the public spend on welfare is relatively high. The various contributors in this book explore and exemplify ways in which social work and research are distinctive for advanced welfare states. This involves exploring their connection to professional identities, histories and welfare systems; their associations with academic, th...

Spaghetti Westerns--the Good, the Bad and the Violent

After a main filmography covering 558 Spaghetti Westerns, another section provides filmographies of personnel--actors and actresses, directors, musical composers, scriptwriters, cinematographers. Appendices provide lists of the popular Django films and the Sartana films, a listing of U.S.-made Spaghetti Western lookalikes, top ten and twenty lists and a list of the genre's worst.

Spaghetti Westerns
Since the silent days of cinema, Westerns have been one of the most popular genres, not just in the United States but around the world. International filmmakers have been so taken by westerns that many directors have produced versions of their own, despite lacking access to the American West. Nowhere has the Western been more embraced outside of the United States than Italy. In the 1960s, as Hollywood heroes like John Wayne and Randolph Scott were aging, Italian filmmakers were revitalizing the western, securing younger American actors for their productions and also making stars of homegrown talent. Movies directed and produced by Italians have been branded “spaghetti westerns”—a genre...
