The English Reformation Revisited
Salvato puts forward a comparative study of two Church Communities, specifically the Anglican Communion and the Universal Catholic Church. He investigates what caused the Church in England to break away from the Catholic Church, and focuses on the influence of English law.
Dying to Eat
Trevan examines our oft emotional relationship with food, and challenges how the science and knowledge of food, health and nutrition are derived. He also investigates those foods that come ready loaded with poisonous compounds and carcinogens.
American Wind Music
The transitions that occurred in everyday life after the new “America” was created after the Revolutionary War are reflected in the type of wind music local groups were performing. Kolman traces the development of these new compositions found in available Instrumental Tutors.
Sound in Motion
This collection sheds light on the intimate relationship between music and audiovisual culture in contemporary society. It includes indispensable studies on music and cinema, as well as original research on music in videogames and television.
Perspectives in Project Management
The research perspectives presented here focus on four key themes of project management theory and practice: namely, people and organisations; methodologies and practice domains; issues in application; and continuous improvement and benchmarking.
This title demonstrates how intuition and psychological insights can be used to design relevant models and decision strategies, and describes how goals can be adequately formed and operationalised. It then integrates these processes in an analytical framework for decision-making.
Multicultural Narratives
Unpacking multiculturalism in literature, this interdisciplinary collection reveals how narratives subvert fixed notions of race, nation, and identity. A vital resource of theoretical and analytical essays for scholars, students, and researchers.
Business and Institutional Translation
As the demand for economic, business, and financial translation increases, this peer-reviewed publication gathers practitioners, researchers, and teachers to discuss new issues in institutional, finance, and specialized translation.
Psychotherapy, Ethics, and Society
Drawing on psychoanalytic thinking from over a century and the author’s three decades of experience, this text asks whether psychotherapy can offer insight into a more inclusive kind of ethics, and, if so, whether it can glean any guidance on how such an ethics may be furthered.
Processes of Immigration in Rural Europe
This anthology sheds light on the diversity of in-migration, its specific implications for development and strategies for coping. The contributions encourage theoretical discussions, and provide stimuli for practitioners involved in migration and development issues.
Thus Burst Hippocrene
These daring essays connect literary titans from Homer and Dante to Shakespeare and Li Bo. The author’s rare multi-lingual approach uncovers startling new insights for scholars and curious readers alike.
In-Between Fiction and Non-Fiction
This title invites the reader to participate in the recent emphasis on subjectivity and self-reflection as the means of understanding and engaging with current social changes through storytelling. It centres its attention on the symbiosis between anthropology and fiction.
From a Scientific Point of View
This monograph deals with the scientific viewpoint, illustrated here through a number of topical cases in modern science, from gravitational waves to mental disorders. It shows that this worldview underlies all current scientific and technological research projects.
This book proposes a new explanation for early modern philosophy. It suggests the concept of relation, grounded in causal influence, can illuminate developments concerning causality, sense perception, and substance, showing it is closer to Aristotle than supposed.
The Weather in the Icelandic Sagas
The descriptions of the weather in medieval Icelandic sagas have long been considered unimportant, mere adjuncts to the action. McCreesh shows that this is not true, illustrating how medieval Icelandic attitudes to the weather often affect the portrayal of the hero.
Food and Drink Idioms in English
Idioms carry an aura of mystery for all speakers, due to the discrepancy between their literal and non-literal meanings. This monograph clears up some of these ambiguities by examining expressions that have derived from the most instinctive human behaviour: eating and drinking.
Zarstvo and Communism
After WWI, Russia’s Bolsheviks and Italy’s Fascists took power. Though ideologically opposed, they resumed severed relations for economic advantages. However, mutual distrust never stopped, rendering their ties tenuous until they were broken in the early years of WWII.
Representing Africa in the Motherland and the Diaspora
This publication gathers scholars from Africa, Europe and the USA to explore the representation of Africa in the performing arts and cinema. It represents an extended dialogue between African scholars and artists about the challenges of representing themselves and their societies
New Women’s Writing
The uptake of women’s writing as a distinct literary genre since the 1960s has been multifarious, and has fuelled a generation of literary and cultural studies. This anthology addresses this legacy and reflects on how a critical history of women’s writing may be created.
