Donor families are unique, yet are also becoming substantially more common with the exponential advancements being made in the field of reproductive medicine, and with the wider acceptance of LGBTQ+ and single-parent families utilizing donor gametes in recent decades. The accessibility of commercial DNA testing is also helping to expand these families, as many people are finding out by surprise that they are part of a sometimes quite large donor family. Individuals connected to donor families are therefore much more likely to be seen across a variety of mental health and medical settings for a range of presenting problems, either related to or separate from this part of their background. For these individuals the challenges of forming and redefining family as they explore their own or their child's new biological connections are therefore very likely to surface as a topic of discussion in treatment. Given the greatly increased probability of encountering a client connected to a donor family in their practices across settings, and the specific challenges this presents, clinicians must be well-informed about all perspectives in order to address such issues in a knowledgeable and sensitive manner. Counseling Donor Family Members provides clinicians and mental health professionals with guidance on the unique issues that can present for egg and sperm donors, parents of donor-conceived children, and donor-conceived people. Counseling Donor Family Members is both a resource for mental health and medical professionals in any setting, and a useful reference book for researchers, and donor family members themselves. It presents evolving ideas, recommendations, and talking points, that can be used in counseling everyone in the donor family. Understanding all viewpoints is important for a successful counseling experience with any parent, egg and sperm donor, or donor-conceived person.…

Cultivating a Sustainable Mindset in Finance explores the behavioural challenges and opportunities to cultivate a sustainable mindset amongst financial professionals that could accelerate capital allocation to combat climate change. It draws on real life examples of institutional investors. While many investors recognize the growing need to incorporate climate change into investment decisions, it is not a straightforward task, and there are a multitude of challenges that investors face that slow down the speed and scale of action required to adapt investment processes. Some of these barriers have been widely debated and often cited, such as lack of consistent signals from government policy-makers, the need to upscale new technology advances, a lack of suitable investable opportunities or lack of data, models, or suitable metrics. However, there are additional challenges that relate specifically to investor behaviour itself, that are often overlooked. Through real-life case studies and survey evidence, this book explores the psychological underpinnings of investment decisions, including the dominant mindset of financial professionals, the prevalence of cognitive biases, cultural drivers, and personal relationships (both at the individual level and inside and outside organizations), and sets out a pathway to cultivate a sustainable mindset to accelerate capital allocation with the urgency that is needed to combat climate change. It is of interest to researchers and students in finance and investment; to investment firms; and to any organization looking to make sense of sustainability financing.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. The Ethics of Gospels discusses philosophical ethics in the canonical Gospels, both in its normative (formal and material) dimension, and in a descriptive dimension (as science about morality). It argues that the ethics present in the Gospels has a universal and not denominational character, although is not reduced to it. The author argues that in the Gospels, Jesus made acceptance and the implementation of ethical goods, values and material norms dependent on the level of ethical awareness of His recipients.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Neuroscientific evidence reveals that childcare centres are high stress environments which can disrupt the brain's emotional developmental circuitry during critical phases, impacting a child's later ability to flourish. At the same time evidence also reveals that some parenting practices are sub-optimal. Exploring what it is infants really need to grow emotionally well, represents a largely unexplored issue. If the state wants to be populated by flourishing individuals, then this topic must be addressed. Using an ethical framework to tease out the wide ranging, complex, and sometimes controversial issues that this dilemma presents, The Foundations of Flourishing and Our Responsibility to Infants follows a cross-disciplinary journey. The author pieces together pertinent issues in a synthesised critique of political, feminist, and moral philosophy, as well as psychological and neuroscientific findings, and offers some possible solutions. It will be of interest to researchers and teachers in areas including philosophy, psychology, education, social care, as well as educators and policy-makers in early childhood development.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. First Edition. China's rapid economic development in recent decades has significantly boosted its international political activities as evidenced by the promotion of a set of relevant global foreign policy doctrines. Unlike the concepts adopted under Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, which were primarily ideological, China's foreign policy conceptions since the early 2000s have been more scientific and commercial. The book analyses factors that influenced the change of foreign policy discourse of China during Xi Jinping's Premiership (from 2012 till now). The book analyses the genesis and contents of modern China's major foreign policy conceptions, such as the "One Belt, One Road" Initiative. These conceptions will be examined through the methodology of different theories and approaches, from sinicized Marxism, Max Weber's theory, through to Foucault, Derrida and others. An important and challenging issue in China's modern discourse is the problem of democracy and human rights. The book takes an interdisciplinary to these problems in relations between the West and China. Modern China, having carried out rapid socio-economic, scientific and technological development, not only did not change its political system, but also proceeded to reformat the international sphere of human rights in accordance with its understanding of them. The growing "shutdown" of China to the outside world narrows the opportunities for researchers, in whose arsenal the analysis of the discourse of key foreign policy actors occupies one of the central places.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. In modern times politics in the Western world has become the ultimate source of morality, with the decline of religious and spiritual certainties. Today, public legitimacy, both political and moral, can only be derived from the idea that authority is based on individual decisions. The foundation of modern Western morality is based on the priority of the individual, hence the entitlement of modern democracy. This book is a case in favour of communal based individualism. Narrow-minded individualism can only lead to modern forms of nihilistic morality, such as egoism and narcissism. Today the schisms of morality within Western culture are more and more visible; between the USA and Europe; and is within Europe, which has been exacerbated by the rift between Europe and Russia. The book argues that if these schisms are not handled in a moral sense, then Nietzsche's prediction that Europe was to face two hundred years of nihilism might come true, and would threaten Western civilization.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book is a demonstration of how the interpretive phenomenology and hermeneutics of Hans Georg Gadamer can be applied to the study and practice of business pedagogy. The application of Existential Hermeneutic Phenomenology (EHP) uncovered underlying themes and essences that crossed internal pedagogical differences and debates within the Business Academy. This book has an implication for personal pedagogical practice as the essences uncovered by the research create indicators of action for professional educators. Also, the development of this form of Existential Hermeneutic Phenomenological demonstrates how the reflective techniques informed by Gadamer's hermeneutics can be used to enhance the process of discursive exchange amongst key stakeholders in the evolution of Business pedagogy. There have been many books written on the principles and practices of business pedagogy but none have examined this from a phenomenological perspective. The book gives a suggested template in which the interpretive phenomenology of Gadamer can be used to conduct research into the themes and essences that underpin key relationships in this field. Books that examine this technique in other academic disciplines are also rare.…

Case selection will be inspired by those that have used a Social Marketing approach, which applies proven marketing principles and techniques to create, communicate, and deliver value to influence priority audience behaviors that benefit society, as well as the individual. Key audiences are those working in governmental agencies in positions such as communications and program management. It is also a valuable text for college and university researchers and students, on degree programs including public health, public administration, marketing, social science, psychology, and communications.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world up to the mid to late 20th century, but within less than half a century she emerged as an economic and cultural powerhouse. The US and World Report recently ranked Korea as 6th in global power. In terms of GNP and per capita income Korea became one of the most advanced countries in the world. This has been dubbed as the 'Korean Miracle'. There may be several factors that could explain this outcome and this book argues that one of the most compelling reasons is the concept of speed in Korean society and its people, which is quite different from other countries. This take on speed can be considered from the perspective of anthropological and/or social DNA, tradition, cultural heritage. Therefore, this book names 'K-speed' as an unexpected factor which brought on the so-called 'miraculous' Korean economic growth. This book belongs to the field of economic development theory and applications. Written in an empirical and descriptive format, the book provides insights into economic and cultural development for students and scholars in international affairs, economics, politics, business, and Asian studies. Governments, international agencies and senior staff in large organizations will also find this book a useful reference.…

The corpus was composed of all uninterrupted speeches of 100 words or more, which amounted to 672 speeches by the female and 2,983 by the male politicians. The speeches were analysed to determine language categories used by the politicians, including word count, grammatical categories, different topics, and punctuation categories, to study the differences in language use by the male and the female politicians. They were also used in examining some intragroup differences and correlations between variables. Several major gender differences emerged. The female politicians were shown to be more formal, critical and task-focused, while the male politicians were more socially oriented and elaborative, occupying the floor more than the female politicians. While the female politicians worked on establishing themselves as independent politicians, the male politicians embraced their collective identities. Also, the female politicians focused on raising the awareness of different health issues and providing support for patients and their families, the male politicians focused on the consequences and possible solutions to the problems. The analysis includes implications for political discourse, and gender disparities within that discourse, and will be of interest to researchers in both politics and political science, and in gender and diversity.…

The purpose of this book is to offer those who identify with America's democratic political left (broadly defined to include Democrats, Democratic Socialists, Greens, Libertarians, and even liberal Republicans) a guide to understanding how rigorous analysis can be applied in order to identify public policies that are both consistent with their values, and likely to actually work. The book argues the importance of reference to basic scientific principles (in particular, social science and economic principles) and factual evidence for people who identify with the political left, rather than them assuming automatic positions on issues. Foundational scientific principles such as general equilibrium, Keynesian economics, asymmetric information, the use of proxy variables, and causal inference, are discussed and explained. The book consists of 12 chapters. Following two foundational chapters, the book addresses areas including monetary policy, income redistribution, healthcare, social security, education, immigration, climate change, the proper roles of the public and private sectors of the economy, and race relations. Written in accessible, engaging and non-technical language, Public Policy for Progressives will be of interest to scholars and students of economics, philosophy, political science, and public policy, as well as policy makers themselves.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book offers both a philosophical and psychological theory of an aspect of human love, first noted by Plato and used by Freud in developing psychoanalysis (transference love), namely, lovers as mirrors for one another, enabling them thus better to see and understand themselves and others. Shakespeare's art makes the same appeal theater as a communal mirror expressing the artist holding a loving mirror for his culture at a point of transitional crisis between a shame and guilt culture. The book shows how Shakespeare's plays offer better insights into the behavior of violent men than Freud's, based on close empirical study of violent criminals; develops a theory of violence rooted in the moral emotions of shame and guilt; and a cultural psychology of the transition from shame to guilt cultures. The work argues that violence is, contra Freud, not an ineliminable instinct in the nature of things, requiring autocracy, but arises from patriarchally inflicted cultural injuries to the love of equals that undermine democracy, and that only a therapy based on love can address such injuries, replacing retributive with restorative justice, and populist fascist autocracy with constitutional democracy. Love, thus understood, underlies a range of disparate phenomena: the appeal of Shakespeare's theater as a communal art; the role of love in psychoanalysis; in Augustine's conception of love in religion (disfigured by his patriarchal assumptions); in Kant's anti-utilitarian ethics of dignity; in a naturalistic ethics that roots ethics in facts of human psychology; the role of law in democratic cultures as a mirror and critique of such cultures; and the basis of an egalitarian theory of universal human rights (inspired by Kant and developed, more recently, by John Rawls). In all these domains, uncritically accepted forms of culture (the initiation of men and women into patriarchy) traumatize the love of equals, and thus disfigure and distort our personal and political lives.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. More than 100 years ago, in 1922, Otto Meyerhof received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on muscle metabolism. Meyerhof lived in a time of groundbreaking scientific findings, but also, as a Jewish scientist, during the time of National Socialism in Germany. Despite his Nobel Prize, Meyerhof was only awarded an assistant position at his Kiel Institute at that time. Meyerhof managed to flee with his family to the USA in 1938, where he lived until his death in 1951. This book explores the question of how all this could have happened in such an excellent intellectual milieu. The collection brings together a biography of Otto Meyerhof; a summary of his research; and articles by well-renowned authors covering several aspects of anti-Semitism. It will be of interest to social, medical and scientific historians, as well as researchers on anti-Semitism. The work and life of this brilliant scientist has not been well-documented, and this volume makes an important addition to the literature. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. This volume offers rare perspectives examining the influence of media technology on learning patterns and behaviours among today's youth in Uganda. The various contributions from international scholars discuss general introductory aspects dealing with the fabric and structure of Uganda's society and educational institutions, and how they are affected by new media technology and innovations. Next to outlining the increasing challenge to unify traditional patterns and the adaptation of media-based practices that modern societies are built upon, the book offers detailed insight into practical solutions that serve as inspiring examples of how to successfully bridge the gap between the two. While titles on youth and media tend to focus on a Western perspective, the proposed volume enables a closer look at things in a country and a region often neglected by researchers. The work offers a specific examination of media and education provided by national and international scholars.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. There is a substantial body of work emerging currently, seeking to address the problems caused by the economic model that has dominated the world for the last several hundred years not least the negative impacts on the environment and sustainable health of the biosphere. This book adds to that body of literature, and brings an interesting new set of ideas into play. The author offers an approach to the philosophies and politics of nature based on a reinterpretation of the history of capitalism, in particular its concept of capital. It leads to a new anti-capitalist conception of the philosophy of ecology which takes into account at the same time history, ethics, politics, law and economics. By linking philosophy, law, economics and management, this work seeks to go beyond the mono-disciplinary and purely theoretical approaches which often characterize works devoted to the philosophy of nature, or the philosophy of ecology. It proposes a concrete philosophical alternative to modern capitalism which leads to ecological co-management and care at all levels of society, including that of political bodies, and the reform of constitutions and parliaments. In short, it is a book for a theory and a practice of environmental action in the broad sense within the framework of an institutional revolution passing in particular through the heart of the capitalist system. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book documents the history of the Muslim community in the United States, and particularly in California, and the foundation and evolution of the Southern California Islamic Center. The associated digital archive was built in an ongoing project with the University of California, Los Angeles. This substantial work of social history analyses the Islamic Center's work from 1953 to 1977 as it tries to establish itself within the mosaic of Southern Californian society. The work of the Islamic Centre has hardly been documented in the literature, and the social history of the wider Muslim Community in the USA is arguably under-researched. This is a unique and important contribution, of interest to historians, social scientists and students of race and religion in America.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Organizational decision-making and ethics have often been treated as different topics. This separation impacts both the ethical quality of decisions and the quality of ethical decisions. Decision analysis provides a wealth of tools that can help decision-makers achieve clarity of action and can capture uncertainty and preferences in decisions with ethical implications. Further, decision analysis provides many insights into decision traps that are relevant to decisions with (and without) ethical implications. Decision analysis also highlights situations where individuals become reluctant to change a course of action because of the sunk cost bias, even if a change is appropriate and even if it has ethical implications. Despite these (and many other) well-known human biases in decision-making, decision analysis has not been fully integrated into the teachings of ethics. On an organizational level, teaching ethics without a focus on decision analysis can render the teachings irrelevant to organizational decisions and can steer the focus towards deterministic reasoning that overlooks uncertainty and ignores a wealth of knowledge on traps, biases, and normative methods for making decisions. This book is written for anybody interested in learning about and researching ethical decision-making. It can be used in classroom discussions that combine ethics and organizational decision-making. It is also particularly relevant for MBA and Executive MBA programs.…
