Designed as a philosophical detective story, Red Sea-Red Square-Red Thread follows the extraordinary number of thinkers and artists who have used the Red Sea anecdote to make so much more than a merely anecdotal point. Leading the large cast are the philosophers, Arthur Danto and Søren Kierkegaard, the poet and playwright, Henri Murger, the opera composer, Giacomo Puccini, and the painter and print-maker, William Hogarth. Strange companions perhaps,until their use of the anecdote is shown as working its extraordinary passage through so many cosmopolitan cities of art and capital. Lydia Goehr explores these narratives of emancipation in philosophy, theology, politics, and the arts.

In 2020, COVID-19, the Australia bushfires, and other global threats served as vivid reminders that human and nonhuman fates are increasingly linked. Human use of nonhuman animals contributes to pandemics, climate change, and other global threats which, in turn, contribute to biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and nonhuman suffering. Both an urgent call to action and a survey of what ethical and effective action will require, this book will be invaluable forscholars, advocates, policy-makers, and anyone interested in what kind of world we should attempt to build and how.

In Romantic Empiricism, Dalia Nassar distinguishes an understudied philosophical tradition that emerged in Germany in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, traces its development, and argues for its continued significance. Nassar shows how four key thinkers, whom she calls the "romantic empiricists," developed a distinctive approach to the study of nature, which culminated in a new, ecological understanding of nature and the human place withinit. While the romantic empiricists took insights from empiricism and rationalism, they differed in their view that art and aesthetic experience can enrich our understanding of the world, and in their emphasis on the ethical dimension of knowledge. Nassar contends that the romantic empiricist insights andapproaches remain crucial for us today, as we seek to address the environmental crisis.

The Book of Answers analyzes all the ways that we confirm questions in our everyday social lives. When do we answer with Yeah rather than He is, for instance; or when do we use more complicated forms of confirming? Relying on a large corpus of naturally occurring recordings of spontaneous social interaction, Tanya Stivers analyzes what each unique way of responding allows us to do.

This book gives an account of the remarkable discoveries that were made during the 1872-1876 voyage of the HMS Challenger, and it describes the strange and bizarre creatures that live in perpetual darkness a kilometer or more below the surface of the sea. The journey had momentous consequences: not only uncovering a whole vast new range of animals whose existence had never before been suspected but also initiating the systematic exploration of the oceans.

Including thirty-four chapters written by academics and experts in the field of international political economy, The Oxford Handbook of Economic Imperialism examines the history of economic imperialism from the early modern age to the present.

In Managing Uncertainty in Mental Health Care, Drs. Patricia Rockman and Jose Silveira advocate for refocusing mental health care priorities to mitigating harm using a novel transdiagnostic approach that accounts for inevitable assessment errors.

In What Do We Mean When We Talk About Meaning?, Steven Cassedy tells the story of "meaning." The word began by denoting "signifying" and "intending," but came to acquire a broad array of sub-definitions. The book begins with the early Christian thinkers who believed meaning could be "read" from the world as if it were holy scripture, then moves into the philosophers who adapted this notion and eventually theromantic-era Germans that coined "the meaning of life," a phrase that later traveled to Great Britain, the United States, and Russia. The book also extends into the twentieth century, when "meaning" acquired its greatest power in the realms of religion, psychotherapy, and self-help, all of which helped it to accumulate the fluidity and ambiguity it stilldisplays today.

Louise Antony's broadly interdisciplinary work brings a naturalistic perspective to philosophical issues of both theoretical and practical importance and center on a key theme-whether, and how, facts about human embodiment ought to constrain philosophical theories. Through a unique philosophical lens, she addresses issues of both theoretical and practical interest: for example, is pornography "hate speech" against women? What is it for scientists, professors andreporters to be "objective"? Is there such a thing as "human nature," and if there is, what are the implications for gender equality? Known for her work in philosophy of mind, theory of knowledge, and feminism, Antony approaches these and other issues with unusual rigor, passion, and wit. This volumeshowcases Antony's influential contributions to feminist and analytic philosophy, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind.

This book offers an in-depth analysis of a question of both philosophical and political import: should citizens pay for their state's wrongdoings? States are often made to pay compensations for their misdeeds. However, it is their citizens who, through taxation, end up bearing the costs. Essentially, are states justified in passing the buck to their populations? The book offers a fresh justification for citizens' duties to share their state's responsibilities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychosocial intervention appropriate for a plethora of problems including anxiety, depression, and emotion dysregulation. School-based practitioners can alleviate some of these concerns in young people by applying CBT in school settings, but to do so successfully, CBT must be modified to accommodate busy academic schedules, to include both parents and teachers, and to align with academic or other accommodations.

Neuroscience for Clinicians is a comprehensive and clinically relevant survey of emerging concepts on the organization and function of the nervous system and neurologic disease mechanisms. By emphasizing how genetic, molecular, and cellular processes and their interactions control the function of the nervous system, the work will help clinicians understand emerging concepts about the mechanisms of neurologic disorders including neurodegeneration,channelopathies, and synaptic dysfunction that provide potential therapeutic targets .This single-authored textbook utilizes ample figures and tables throughout in order to facilitate retention of the core concepts presented. Divided into 5 sections, the first section includes chapters focused on basic cellular processes. Section 2 includes chapters focused on cell communication while Section 3 focuses on the neuronal microenvironment. The fourth section focuses on the organization and interactions of circuits in the cortex, thalamus, and brainstem, underlying behavioral statessuch as sleep, sensory processing, and motor control. The fifth section addresses mechanisms of pain and neural control of survival. And the final section covers concepts on mechanisms of emotion, social behavior, memory, language, and executive functions with emphasis on dementia and behavioraldisorders.
