Raising Hare: The heart-warming true story of an unlikely friendship
by Chloe Dalton'A beautiful book' - ANGELINA JOLIE'A glorious book – for its warmth, its precision, its joy' - KATHERINE RUNDELL'I will be recommending this to everyone' - MATT HAIG__Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end. This happened to me.When lockdown led busy professional Chloe to leave the city and return to the countryside of her childhood, she never expected to find herself custodian of a newly born hare. Yet when she finds the creature, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival.Raising Hare chronicles their journey together and the challenges of caring for the leveret and preparing for its return to the wild. We witness an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife. This improbable bond of trust serves to remind us that the most remarkable experiences, inspiring the most hope, often arise when we least expect them.
A Lacanian Neuropsychoanalysis: Consciousness Enjoying Uncertainty (The Palgrave Lacan Series)
by John Dall’AglioThis book brings together Lacanian psychoanalysis, neuropsychoanalytic work by Mark Solms and Ariane Bazan, Jaak Panksepp’s affective neuroscience, Karl Friston’s free energy principle, Adrian Johnston’s transcendental materialist philosophy, and Darian Leader’s critique of jouissance in Lacanian theory. In doing so, it articulates a philosophical and scientific basis for Lacanian neuropsychoanalysis. A Lacanian perspective on Solms’s recent neuropsychoanalytic developments in affective consciousness and predictive coding furnishes an immanent critique that advances both Lacanian psychoanalysis and neuropsychoanalysis. Dall’Aglio develops novel propositions for conceptualizing the Lacanian real, symbolic, and imaginary registers in the brain, treating affect systems like signifiers, viewing jouissance as surplus prediction error, and conceiving the brain as structurally antagonistic. It presents fresh theoretical and clinical insights in a manner that will be accessible to the interdisciplinary fields it draws upon. It will appeal to those working in neuropsychoanalysis, clinical psychology, neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and critical theory.

The Nature and Nurture of Talent: A New Foundation for Human Excellence
by null David Yun DaiPrepare for a captivating journey into the depths of human potential and excellence in this scholarly work. Within these pages, discover evolving complexity theory (ECT), a unified theory of talent development that integrates a rich body of research and explores a wide array of talent-related phenomena. This theory challenges conventional wisdom, shifting the focus from genetics and environmental factors to the dynamic interplay of self-organized development and real-time person–environment interactions. This book provides a practical roadmap, emphasizing actions over genetic determinants, guiding readers toward the attainment of higher levels of excellence. Departing from traditional perspectives, Dr. Dai envisions human development as a self-organized journey toward higher coherence, reframing talent development as active participation in sociocultural activities from which one's individuality evolves, and directions and purposes are crystalized. Written in an engaging and narrative style, this work is essential reading for researchers, students, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of human potential.
Digital Currencies and Public Law: History, Constitutionalism and the Revolutionary Nature of Money
by Andrew DahdalThis book supports the deeper engagement of public lawyers in digital currency developments which threaten dramatic changes in the relationship between individuals and government authorities.No contemporary issue is more widely acknowledged and less understood than that of digital currencies. The voice of constitutional scholars, however, is crucially missing from prevailing digital money discourses. Private law scholars are grappling with the legal questions raised by digital currency models in property and contract. Public law scholars, by contrast, have yet to appreciate the significance of the moment. The challenge of understanding the technical dimensions of digital money innovations has obscured the potential constitutional revolution digital currencies represent. This book proceeds from the proposition that ‘money’ is best conceived as a constitutional phenomenon. When seen as such, it becomes clear that changes in the nature of money represent changes in political and constitutional arrangements. Explaining how, and in what ways, those changes will take place is the primary focus of this book. Through an examination of historical episodes where the nature of money has been linked to renewed constitutional settlements, this book distils a core set of principles linking aspects of monetary innovation such as technical control of the money supply to constitutional positions such as executive fiscal accountability. From these principles, a conceptual framework is proposed that translates the specific attributes of digital currency proposals into the language of constitutional dynamics.The book will be of interest to students, academics and practitioners with an interest in the law of digital currencies, constitutional law and politics.

Understanding Prisoner Victimisation (Palgrave Studies in Victims and Victimology)
by Tom Daems Elien GoossensPeople in prison are usually (and often exclusively) seen and approached as persons who have committed one or more crimes and who have to pay their debt to society. However, while in prison, they often get victimised themselves. Research has demonstrated that prisons tend to be unsafe environments where various forms of victimisation take place. These forms of victimisation often go unnoticed and usually do not attract much interest from policymakers or society at large: prisoners are, indeed, far from ‘ideal victims’. This book is devoted to understanding prisoner victimisation, in particular from a European perspective. Chapters in this volume focus on recent empirical work in a number of European countries (Belgium, England and Wales and the Netherlands). These chapters are complemented with a series of reflections from a conceptual, methodological and human rights perspective.

Keep It Smooth: Life Lessons in Confidence
by Cameron DaddoA memoir from veteran entertainer Cameron Daddo about confidence: how we nurture it, how we lose it and how we can get it back again Multi-talented Cameron Daddo has been a part of the Australian entertainment scene since the late '80s. But you might be surprised to learn that, despite appearances, he grew up lacking confidence. He was a stutterer as a kid, then a restless student and uni dropout, before going on to build a life in showbiz. In this memoir, Cameron shares the valuable lessons he's learnt along the way, some very publicly: the rejections, the victories and everything in between. Through a series of intimate conversations, he also explores public and private crises in the lives of extraordinary Australians, including Keith Urban and Marcia Hines, Michael O'Loughlin and Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald, Indira Naidoo and Alyssa Healy. Inspiring and empowering, Keep It Smooth shows us how to rally when we feel we have nothing left to give, and how we can learn to find confidence within.

The Future of E-Mobility: Investigating the Role of Electric Mobility for Consumers and Industries
by David D’AcuntoE-mobility is the future. Its development and consumer adoption are strongly contributing to several of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, playing a huge role in the shift from linear to circular economies. Providing extensive insight into this dynamic, the book reviews extant management and marketing research describing the E-mobility state-of-the-art literature from a twofold perspective; industries and consumers. Industries must consider the benefits and drawbacks related to E-mobility implementation in their business models and strategies, including the communication (online and offline) to stakeholders of such advancements. Meanwhile, consumers experience different perceptions and motivations including barriers related to the adoption of E-mobility, leading in turn to different behaviors across generational cohorts (e.g. Gen Z and Gen Alpha versus Millennials). Offering an empirical analysis based on a consumer survey, this book sheds light on all these aspects, thus giving useful insights to academics, marketers and policy makers into the challenges facing consumers in their E-mobility adoption.
Dürer’s Knots: Early European Print and the Islamic East
by Susan DackermanAn important new examination of Islamic themes in the art of Albrecht DürerAlbrecht Dürer&’s depictions of Muslim figures and subjects are considered by many to be among his most perplexing images. This confusion arises from the assumption that the artist and his northern European contemporaries regarded the Muslim Levant as an exotic faraway land inhabited by hostile adversaries, not a region of neighboring empires affiliated through political and mercantile networks. Susan Dackerman casts Dürer&’s art in an entirely new light, focusing on prints that portray cooperation between the Muslim and Christian worlds rather than conflict and war, enabling us to better understand early modern Europe through its visual culture.In this beautifully illustrated book, Dackerman provides new readings of three of the artist&’s most enigmatic print projects—Sea Monster, Knots, and Landscape with Cannon—situating them within historical contexts that reflect productive collaborations between Christendom and Islam, from the artistic and commercial to the ideological and political. Dackerman notes how Gutenberg&’s development of printing shares an inextricable relationship to the 1453 Ottoman siege of Constantinople. While Gutenberg&’s workshop produced a call to crusade and other publications antagonistic to the Muslim East, Dürer&’s prints, she shows, instead emphasize instances of affiliation between Christendom and Islam.A breathtaking work of scholarship, Dürer&’s Knots shows how the artist&’s prints of Muslim subjects give expression to the interconnectedness of Christian Europe and the Islamic East.

Building Resilience for Flood Disaster in Malaka-Timor, Indonesia: Risk Perception from Human Geography (Springer Natural Hazards)
by Apolonia Diana da CostaThis book provides a new and different perspective on human geography as an umbrella understanding of the social science of disaster management, but it is simple to understand, where disaster-affected communities anywhere, for example in this study in disaster communities in Malacca-Timor, eastern Indonesia (female/customary land) can respond to flood disasters with the resilience capacity they have day after day. What is presented in this book is very relevant and indicates the concept of resilience to flood disasters from the perspective of the community (human geography) through the use of applied science along with practical social methods or approaches combined with applied GIS data in the form of nine spatial distribution maps of each resilience capacity/asset that flood-affected communities have in coping with disaster impacts or risks. In the relevance of human geography, natural disasters, and spatial studies, we as readers jointly find a bright spot in this book, that natural vulnerability has an impact on physical, social, cultural, economic, religious, legal, and political vulnerabilities, where communities experiencing flood hazards need to learn to deal with and/or practice the resources they have. The resources they have in the scientific trajectory of human geography, disaster management, and spatial studies are specialized in understanding how effective, efficient, and adequate the resilience they have in the study of sustainable livelihood development, is based on the lens of social-ecological integrity. This book provides a clear and digestible understanding for all readers from interdisciplinary scientific backgrounds.
Belief, Behavior, and Health: Religion as a Social Determinant of Health
by Sandra D. LaneThis book uniquely examines, across cultures, the health benefits and detriments of religious beliefs, with important implications for individual wellbeing and human survival.Belief, Behavior, and Health takes the reader through journeys of the author’s research in the Middle East, Africa, and the urban United States, where she focused on the unequal health and survival of women globally and vulnerable groups in the United States. Almost every health problem, especially those experienced by the poor and disadvantaged, arose from or was made worse by the conditions in the environment in which people lived. Lane’s detailed studies of beliefs about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam led to the author’s deep observations on how religious belief and practice, as well as discrimination due to religious prejudice, can be a major influence on health, both positively and negatively. In this book, Lane shows how religious precepts and cultural influences on religious behavior function as social determinants of health. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of public health, anthropology, and sociology and those interested in the influence of religion on health outcomes.

Czerski brings the oceans alive with compelling stories that masterfully navigate this most complex system.'Gaia Vince, science journalist, broadcaster and author of Nomad Century All of the Earth's ocean, from the equator to the poles, is a single engine powered by sunlight - a blue machine.Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture.In a book that will recalibrate our view of this defining feature of our planet, physicist Helen Czerski dives deep to illuminate the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it. From the ancient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years, she explains the vast currents, invisible ocean walls and underwater waterfalls that all have their place in the ocean's complex, interlinked system.Timely, elegant and passionately argued, Blue Machine presents a fresh perspective on what it means to be a citizen of an ocean planet. The understanding it offers is crucial to our future. Drawing on years of experience at the forefront of marine science, Helen Czerski captures the magnitude and subtlety of Earth's defining feature, showing us the thrilling extent to which we are at the mercy of this great engine.
