Spain has never worked as a democracy. Throughout the country''s history only one system of government has ever enjoyed any real success: dictatorship and the use of violence.Violence, in fact, is what Spain is made of, lying at the heart of its culture and identity, far more so than any other western European nation. For well over a thousand years, the country has only ever been forged and then been held together through the use of aggression - brutal, merciless terror and warfare directed against its own people. Without it the country breaks apart and Spain ceases to exist - a fact that recent events in Barcelona confirm. Authoritarianism is the Spanish default setting.Yet Spain has produced many of the most important artists and thinkers in the Western world, from Cervantes, author of the first modern novel, to Goya, the first modern painter. Much of Western artistic expression, in fact, from the Picaresque to Cubism, would be unthinkable without the Spanish contribution. This unique national genius, however, does not exist despite Spain''s violent backdrop; it is, in fact, born out of it. Indeed Spain''s genius and violent nature go hand in hand, locked together in a macabre, elaborate dance. This ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Having pursued a conventional enough path through school and university, Jason Webster was all set to enter the world of academe as a profession. But when his aloof Florentine girlfriend of some years dumped him unceremoniously, he found himself at a crossroads. Abandoning the world of libraries and the future he had always imagined for himself, he headed off instead for Spain in search of duende, the intense emotional state - part ecstasy, part desperation - so intrinsic to flamenco.Duende is an account of his years spent in Spain feeding his obsessive interest in flamenco: he subjects himself to the tyranny of his guitar teacher, practising for hours on end until his fingers bleed; he becomes involved in a passionate affair with Lola, a flamenco dancer (and older woman) married to the gun-toting Vicente, only to flee Alicante in fear of his life; in Madrid, he falls in with Gypsies and meets the imperious Jesús. Joining their dislocated, cocaine-fuelled world, stealing cars by night and sleeping away the days in tawdry rooms, he finds himself spiralling self-destructively downwards. It is only when he arrives in Granada bruised and battered, after two years total immersion in the flamenco lifestyle that he ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Winner of the Bronislaw Malinowski Award in the Social Sciences Why do pogroms occur in some localities and not in others? Jeffrey S. Kopstein and Jason Wittenberg examine a particularly brutal wave of violence that occurred across hundreds of predominantly Polish and Ukrainian communities in the aftermath of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. The authors note that while some communities erupted in anti-Jewish violence, most others remained quiescent. In fact, fewer than 10 percent of communities saw pogroms in 1941, and most ordinary gentiles never attacked Jews. Intimate Violence is a novel social-scientific explanation of ethnic violence and the Holocaust. It locates the roots of violence in efforts to maintain Polish and Ukrainian dominance rather than in anti-Semitic hatred or revenge for communism. In doing so, it cuts through painful debates about relative victimhood that are driven more by metaphysical beliefs in Jewish culpability than empirical evidence of perpetrators and victims. Pogroms, they conclude, were difficult to start, and local conditions in most places prevented their outbreak despite a general anti-Semitism and the collapse of the central state. Kopstein and Wittenberg shed new light on the sources of mass ethnic violence and the ways in which such gruesome ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Why violence in the Congo has continued despite decades of international intervention Well into its third decade, the military conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been dubbed a “forever war”—a perpetual cycle of war, civil unrest, and local feuds over power and identity. Millions have died in one of the worst humanitarian calamities of our time. The War That Doesn’t Say Its Name investigates the most recent phase of this conflict, asking why the peace deal of 2003—accompanied by the largest United Nations peacekeeping mission in the world and tens of billions in international aid—has failed to stop the violence. Jason Stearns argues that the fighting has become an end in itself, carried forward in substantial part through the apathy and complicity of local and international actors. Stearns shows that regardless of the suffering, there has emerged a narrow military bourgeoisie of commanders and politicians for whom the conflict is a source of survival, dignity, and profit. Foreign donors provide food and urgent health care for millions, preventing the Congolese state from collapsing, but this involvement has not yielded transformational change. Stearns gives a detailed historical account of this period, focusing on the main players—Congolese and Rwandan ... Unknown localization key: "more"

* * * Shortlisted for the 2014 Costa Novel Awards and the 2015 Folio Prize * * * Nora Webster is the heartbreaking new novel from one of the greatest novelists writing today.It is the late 1960s in Ireland. Nora Webster is living in a small town, looking after her four children, trying to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. She is fiercely intelligent, at times difficult and impatient, at times kind, but she is trapped by her circumstances, and waiting for any chance which will lift her beyond them. Slowly, through the gift of music and the power of friendship, she finds a glimmer of hope and a way of starting again. As the dynamic of the family changes, she seems both fiercely self-possessed but also a figure of great moral ambiguity, making her one of the most memorable heroines in contemporary fiction. The portrait that is painted in the years that follow is harrowing, piercingly insightful, always tender and deeply true.

This volume offers John Webster''s two great Jacobean tragedies, The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi, together with his brilliant tragicomedy, The Devil''s Law-Case, and the comedy written with William Rowley, A Cure for a Cuckold. Webster is a radically and creatively experimental dramatist. His tragedies deploy shifting dramatic perspectives which counteract and challenge conventional moral judgements, while the predominantly gentler tone of his comedies and tragicomedies responds inventively to contemporary changes in dramatic taste and fashion.

Under the General Editorship of Michael Cordner of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation.

Change isn’t an easy sell. And, in business, pivoting in a new direction requires teams to work together cooperatively. While a half-hearted agreement to adopt a common goal may get you short-term momentum, if you want to initiate lasting change that creates sustained action, you need to give your audience a reason to believe. You need, as the title of this book suggests, to say what they can’t unhear.From renowned strategist, author, and speaker Tamsen Webster comes this compact and actionable guide that will get you thinking differently about where change comes from and how to initiate it. By introducing and exploring nine “persuasion proverbs,” Webster highlights the behavioral, cognitive, and psychological principles that underpin lasting change, and offers a powerful alternative to the standard tactics of influence and persuasion. The outlined concepts are easy to remember, simple to implement, and will give you the tools to transform any audience of lukewarm prospects into passionate believers.If you’re looking to spark change in your audience in a way that has them excited and motivated, that pushes them beyond temporary action, and that makes them feel empowered instead of manipulated, then Say What They Can’t Unhear is the resource you need in ...

The first book to show how the concept of bodily organs emerged and how ancient tools influenced conceptualizations of human anatomy and its operations.  Medicine is itself a type of technology, involving therapeutic tools and substances, and so one can write the history of medicine as the application of different technologies to the human body. In Tools and the Organism, Colin Webster argues that, throughout antiquity, these tools were crucial to broader theoretical shifts. Notions changed about what type of object a body is, what substances constitute its essential nature, and how its parts interact. By following these changes and taking the question of technology into the heart of Greek and Roman medicine, Webster reveals how the body was first conceptualized as an “organism”—a functional object whose inner parts were tools, or organa, that each completed certain vital tasks. He also shows how different medical tools created different bodies.  Webster’s approach provides both an overarching survey of the ways that technologies impacted notions of corporeality and corporeal behaviors and, at the same time, stays attentive to the specific material details of ancient tools and how they informed assumptions about somatic structures, substances, and inner processes.

Lidstvo odedávna fascinovaly krystaly a drahé kameny. Díky své kráse byly nejprve používány k okrasným účelům. Netrvalo však dlouho a lidé objevili jejich skryté schopnosti, v první řadě schopnost zklidnit mysl a obnovit vnitřní rovnováhu. To zákonitě vedlo k jejich používání při věštění a léčení. Jejich využití je však mnohem širší. V knize Jak pracovat s krystalem se seznámíme s padesáti jednoduchými rituály, které nám pomohou nejen posílit naše zdraví nebo sebevědomí, ale také zlepšit vztahy doma či v práci, najít štěstí a dokonce i lásku. A k tomu všemu nám postačí pouze jediný krystal. Naučíme se, jak si vybrat ten pravý, jak o něj správně pečovat a třeba i to, jak jeho prostřednictvím můžeme pomoci někomu blízkému. Richard Webster, znalec lidské duše, pracuje se spolehlivými zdroji podpořenými vlastní dlouholetou praxí. Pokud máte rádi jeho knihy, můžete si být jisti, že vás ani tentokrát nezklame.

Mateřské zranění, ať už se projevuje na osobní, kulturní, duchovní či jiné rovině, je soubor zvnitřněných omezujících domněnek a vzorců, jenž nám v dospělosti na mnoha frontách způsobuje komplikace, má vliv na náš sebeobraz i na způsob, jak vnímáme druhé a svůj potenciál. Dcery ovládá neodbytný pocit, že je s nimi něco v nepořádku. Ze strachu z odmítnutí se nevěnují vlastnímu rozvoji, mají slabé hranice a nejasné ponětí o tom, kým jsou. Toto zranění se projevuje ve všech oblastech našich dospělých životů, od manželství přes rodičovství a kariéru až po vztah k tělu. Teprve ustavičná těžko snesitelná bolest, již způsobuje, v nás dokáže vyburcovat potřebnou motivaci a energii, abychom se konečně odhodlaly ke změně a navázaly kontakt se svým vnitřním dítětem a skrze něj s vnitřní matkou. Kniha známé americké terapeutky a spisovatelky Bethany Webster do hloubky rozebírá fenomén mateřského zranění a nabízí účinné a podrobné postupy, jak se z této nezdravé dynamiky trvale vymanit a zlepšit svůj život.

Ochránce přírody a ekolog Michael Mehta Webster přináší poselství o existenci přirozeného efektu spásy, jímž příroda disponuje a jemuž člověk může v případě nutnosti tu a tam trochu pomoci, a poselství, podle něhož příroda není muzeem výtvarného umění. Taková představa je založena na zjevně mylném předpokladu, že se příroda nemění, pakliže do ní lidé nezasahují. Na základě nesčetných dokladů se můžeme přesvědčit, že takové tvrzení se nezakládá na pravdě. Fosilní záznam dokazuje, že se život po miliardy let neustále vyvíjel a měnil. Ekosystémy se mění i v řádu tisíců let, klima na Zemi se mění neustále, změny se prohlubují a vyhlídky podle většiny odborníků nejsou dobré. Kniha je souborem čtivých kazuistik ohrožených druhů, mezi nimiž nechybí tygr bengálský, losos nerka, vakoplch trpasličí, americké kaštanovníky, koráli na útesech u pobřeží Hondurasu, cichlidy ve Viktoriině jezeře či rostlinná společenstva na ostrově Asciensionu. Vydáme se dokonce na pouť do pleistocénu a zvážíme možnosti vzkříšení dávno vyhynulých druhů: jeskynních medvědů či mamutů srstnatých.

Andělé vám mohou pomoct kdykoli a v čemkoli. Stačí je požádat. Přivolejte si je! Hledáte lásku? Některý z andělů vám rád pomůže. Chcete být úspěšnější? Jistě se najde anděl, který bude vědět, jak na to. Ještě nevíte, co je vaším životním posláním? Některý z andělů vás k němu dovede. Známý autor Richard Webster v této knize představuje seznam andělů, jejichž pomoc vám přijde nejvíce vhod, a popisuje množství konkrétních způsobů, jak si je přivolat. Kniha v podstatě obsahuje návod, jak se s anděly spojit, pokud se potřebujete vypořádat s něčím konkrétním. Kapitoly jsou přehledně sestavené podle témat. Již před dvěma tisíci lety začali náboženští učenci řadit anděly do různých skupin podle toho, jakou dělají práci a jak mají blízko k Bohu. Přestože jsou všichni andělé stvořeni k tomu, aby lidem pomáhali, chránili a milovali je, mají různé výrazné vlastnosti a schopnosti. Seznamte se s nimi a zkoušejte se s nimi spojovat rozmanitými zábavnými a zajímavými způsoby, jež posílí váš duchovní růst.

A few moments after birth we begin to use our lungs for the first time. From then on, we must continue breathing for as long as we are alive. And although this mostly happens unconsciously, in a society plagued by anxiety, climate change, environmental racism, and illness, there are more and more instances that ''teach us about the privilege that is breathing.'' Why do we so easily forget the air that we breathe in common? What does it mean to breathe when the environment that sustains life now threatens it? And how can life continue to flourish under conditions that are increasingly toxic? To approach these questions, Jamieson Webster draws on psychoanalytic theory and reflects on her own experiences as an asthmatic teenager, a deep-sea diver, a palliative psychologist during covid, a psychoanalyst attentive to the somatic, and a new mother. The result is a compassionate and timely exploration of air and breathing as a way to undo the pervasive myth of the individual by considering our dependence on invisible systems, on one another, and the way we have violently neglected this important aspect of life.

This book offers new perspectives on gender-based violence in three regions where the subject has been taboo in everyday discourse often due to patriarchal cultural norms that limit women’s autonomy. The contributions to this book provide rare insight into not only the levels and the socio-demographic determinants of domestic violence, but topics ranging from men’s attitudes toward wife beating; domestic violence-related adolescent deaths, and women’s health problems due to sexual and physical abuse. With a comprehensive introduction that provides a comparative international research framework for discussing gender-based violence in these three unique regions, this volume provides a key basis for understanding gender-based violence on a more global level. Part I, on Africa, covers men’s attitudes towards domestic violence, the impact of poverty and fertility, the association between adolescent deaths and domestic violence, and the link between domestic abuse and HIV. Part II, on the Middle East, covers the importance of consanguinity on domestic violence in Egypt and Jordan, the effects of physical abuse on reproductive health, and the link between political unrests and women’s experience and attitudes towards domestic violence. Part III, on India, shows how sexual abuse puts women at risk of reproductive tract infections and sexually transmitted infections, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A comprehensive overview of the integrative study of violence Violence continues to be one of the most urgent global public health problems that contemporary society faces. Suicides and homicides are increasing at an alarming rate, particularly in younger age groups and lower-income countries. Historically, the study of violence has been fragmented across disparate fields of study with little cross-disciplinary collaboration, thus creating a roadblock to decoding the underlying processes that give rise to violence and hindering efforts in research and prevention. Violence: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Causes, Consequences, and Cures assembles and organizes current information into one comprehensive volume, introducing students to the multiple sectors, disciplines, and practices that collectively comprise the study of violence. This innovative textbook presents a unified perspective that integrates the sociological, biological, politico-economic, structural, and environmental underpinnings of violence. Each chapter examines a distinct point of learning, beginning with an overview of the content and concluding with discussion questions and an analytical summary. The chapters focus on key domains of research encouraging interdisciplinary investigation and helping students to develop critical analytical skills and form their own conclusions.

Over the past 40 years, considerable progress has been made in lowering rates of domestic violence in our communities. This progress has been uneven, however, due to continuing misconceptions about the causes and dynamics of domestic violence, which include an exaggerated focus on males as perpetrators and females as victims, as well as a heavy-handed law enforcement response that compromises the rights of criminal defendants without necessarily reducing violence. Gender and Domestic Violence presents empirical research findings and reform recommendations for prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, policy makers and intervention providers with the aim of rectifying shortcomings in legal and law enforcement responses to domestic violence. The volume''s editors and chapter authors confront the notion that certain beliefs shared among victim advocates, legal actors, and other stakeholders -- principally that domestic violence is bound by gender, and is primarily a crime against women -- have led to the use of ineffective and potentially harmful one-size-fits-all intervention policies that can jeopardize defendant due process and victim safety. Domestic violence experts, legal scholars, and practicing attorneys present how gendered aspects of domestic violence affect legal decision-making and practice and provide strategies for becoming more inclusive in the adjudicative process, intervention/prevention, and practice.

The inspiring story of a Black doctor deeply affected by the violence in his childhood that plagued his Brooklyn community who was determined to be a force for change and dedicated himself to addressing trauma and violence as public health issuesRob Gore first encountered violence when he was beaten and robbed as a 10-year old; it was treated as an inevitable fact of life, but after another brush with violence as a teen, he began to reject that prevalent attitude. As he matured and became a doctor, he grew in his determination to find treatments for what he saw not as an unavoidable fact for most people living in vulnerable, underserved neighborhoods especially, but as a public health issue that could be addressed by early intervention and solid support, beginning in the medical community. He also became deeply involved in efforts to diversify the entire field of medicine, starting with the “front lines” in the Emergency Department.Seeing his brother Angel and close friend Willis fall prey to the epidemic of violence with profound—and in Willis’s case—deadly consequences, Rob began seriously researching the issue and went on to found an organization which is one of the models for successful approaches to ...
