Описание: In this book author John Cahman traces the history of Western Civilization as a developmental process and shows how our time marks a great turning point in that story as we leave an age of sexism, racism, and hierarchy and enter one of individuation.
Описание: This book introduces readers to the concept of the Axial Age and its relevance for a world in crisis. Axial ideas of transcendence develop into ideologies for world religions and civilizations, in turn coalescing into a Eurasian world-system that spreads globally to become the foundation of our contemporary world.
Описание: Using a wealth of examples from the BP story to illustrate her practical research approach, Gravells draws `language maps` of different phases of the crisis representation, showing how an early `iconic` phase of representation moves through an `indexical` to a `symbolic` phase, and projects a return to a `naturalised icon`.

Описание: This edited volume brings together some of the most prominent scholars in the fields of theoretical, critical, and political psychology to examine crisis phenomena.
This book draws on recent developments across a range of perspectives including psychoanalysis, narrative studies, social practice theory, posthumanism and trans-species psychology, to establish a radical psychosocial alternative to mainstream understanding of ‘environmental problems’. Only by addressing the psychological and social structures maintaining unsustainable societies might we glimpse the possibility of genuinely sustainable future.
The challenges posed by the reality of human-caused ‘environmental problems’ are unprecedented. Understanding how we respond to knowledge of these problems is vital if we are to have a hope of meeting this challenge. Psychology and the social sciences have been drafted in to further this understanding, and inform interventions encouraging sustainable behaviour. However, to date, much of psychology has appeared happy to tinker with individual behaviour change, or encourage minor modifications in the social environment aimed at ‘nudging’ individual behaviour. As the ecological crisis deepens, it is increasingly recognised that mainstream understandings and interventions are inadequate to the collective threat posed by climate change and related ecological crises.

Описание: Illuminates the roots and consequences of and offers solutions to the widespread alienation and disconnection that beset modern society
Since the beginning of the 21st century, people have become increasingly disconnected from themselves, each other, and the world around them. A "crisis of connection" stemming from growing alienation, social isolation, and fragmentation characterizes modern society. The signs of this "crisis of connection" are everywhere, from decreasing levels of empathy and trust, to burgeoning cases of suicide, depression and loneliness. The astronomical rise in inequality around the world has contributed to the critical nature of this moment.
To delve into the heart of the crisis, leading researchers and practitioners draw from the science of human connection to tell a five-part story about its roots, consequences, and solutions. In doing so, they reveal how we, in modern society, have been captive to a false story about who we are as human. This false narrative that takes individualism as a universal truth, has contributed to many of the problems that we currently face. The new story now emerging from across the human sciences underscores our social and emotional capacities and needs. The science also reveals the ways in which the privileging of the self over relationships and of individual success over the common good as well as the perpetuation of dehumanizing stereotypes have led to a crisis of connection that is now widespread. Finally, the practitioners in the volume present concrete solutions that show ways we can create a more just and humane world.
In these divisive times, The Crisis of Connection is an essential resource for bridging the political, religious, identity-based, and ideological gaps among individuals and communities. By exposing the barriers that stand in the way of our human desire to live in connection with ourselves and each other, this book illuminates concrete pathways to enhancing our awareness of our common humanity.

Описание:
Silent thought What is it? And what do we do about it?
When we consider what the silent thought is, it is important to see the implications of taking or not taking a thought to verbal expression or action. We are approaching a critical crossroads in the American way of life, and the 2016 presidential election results will have profound consequences.
At times, we all fail to identify the warning signs, which are more disguised now than ever before in our country. All of us should realize that America's greatness has never been at greater risk, for many reasons that we will discuss in detail throughout this book.
My greatest hope is that this book will reach the many Americans who have never considered thought in the way I will explain it and all too often just accept everything as it is. The first three chapters deal with spontaneous, targeted, and stubborn thought, providing examples of each and how the concept of silent thought interconnects with all three.
In chapters 4 through 8, I talk about several crises and the transitional period currently facing America and discuss how silent thought can have a negative influence on these major challenges facing every American.
Those crises are the following:
- Leadership in America
- Political correctness
- Race relations in America
- Politics in America
- Open borders and immigration
Throughout this book, I also provide alternatives and solutions to combat the negative consequences of silent thought. My strongest desire is that America become a nation of leaders and then, as leaders, reestablish the greatness of America and all its citizens.
I hope my readers find this book to be a quick read and one that stimulates their thought processes in ways that they may have not considered before.

Описание: The Creativity Crisis excavates the root causes of America`s innovation slow-down, showing why revolutionary insights are no longer chased by young talent. Economically and socially, caution has overtaken creation. This book is ultimately a roadmap for reinvigorating innovation within the system of science.
This book explores the linguistic patterns of conflict, crisis and threat generation in Polish political rhetoric that have been at the heart of state-level policies since the Law and Justice (PiS) Party came to power in October 2015.
Analysing a vast corpus of speeches, statements and remarks by prominent Law and Justice Party politicians, this book sheds light on internal parliamentary and presidential discourse against opponents of the government, before widening its lens to Poland's strained relations with the EU regarding refugee distribution and immigration. Drawing on theories from contemporary critical discourse studies and critical-cognitive pragmatics, the book shows how the crisis, conflict and threat elements in these discourses produce public coercion and strengthen the Party's leadership. Piotr Cap extends his argument further to examine discursive examples from Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Austria, Italy and the UK, highlighting the correlation between the Law and Justice Party and broader socio-political and rhetorical trends in contemporary Europe. The result is an authoritative panorama of the mutual dependencies and shared discursive strategies of European right-wing groups.
