Miracles of Our Own Making is a historical overview of magic in the
British Isles, from the ancient peoples of Britain to the rich and
cosmopolitan landscape of contemporary paganism. We explore the
beliefs of the Druids, the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, the alchemy of
the Elizabethan court and the witch trials. We encounter grimoires,
ceremonial magic and the Romantic revival of arcane deities. The
influential and well-known – the Golden Dawn, Wicca and figures
such as Aleister Crowley – are considered alongside the everyday
‘cunning folk’ who formed the magical fabric of previous
centuries. Ranging widely across literature, art, science and
beyond, Liz Williams debunks many of the prevailing myths
surrounding magical practice, past and present, while offering a
rigorously researched and highly accessible account of what it
means to be a pagan today.
Terminology Translation in Chinese Contexts: Theory and Practice
investigates the theory and practice of terminology translation,
terminology management, and scholarship within the distinctive
milieu of Chinese and explores the complex relationship between
terminology translation (micro level) and terminology management
(macro level). This book outlines the contemporary challenges of
terminology translation and terminology management within Chinese
contexts in specialized fields including law, the arts, religion,
Chinese medicine, and food products. The volume also examines how
the development and application of new technologies such as big
data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence have brought
about major changes in the language service industry. Technology
such as machine translation and computer-assisted translation has
spawned new challenges in terminology management practices and has
facilitated their evolution in contexts of ever greater
internationalization and globalization. This book recontextualizes
terminology translation and terminology management with a special
focus on English-Chinese translation. It is hoped that the volume
will enable and enhance dialogue between Chinese and Western
scholars and professionals in the field. All chapters have been
written by specialists in the different subfields and have been
peer-reviewed by the editors.

One of the first major theoretical reviews of schizophrenia since
the publication of the 5th edition of the APA's Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual, the DSM-5, this volume is a landmark in the
history of schizophrenia research. It assembles recent
groundbreaking developments in research on schizophrenia and
reaffirms its central place in the mental health research agenda.
Significantly, this volume reflects the paradigmatic shift in
schizophrenia research applied in parallel to new approaches in
psychiatric diagnosis. New models and findings from across
disciplines in recent years reflect a new and greater understanding
of the workings of the brain, which, in turn, helps develop our
knowledge of the neuro and psychological processes in
schizophrenia. Consequently, this volume illustrates a historical
convergence of psychology, psychopathology and the neurosciences in
schizophrenia. World-renowned leaders of the schizophrenia research
community in fields such as neuroscience, p sychiatry,
neuropsychology, and clinical psychology offer clear suggestions
for further advances in psychological and medical interventions,
assessment, prevention strategies, and research. And in keeping
with other titles in the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation series,
these papers are noteworthy for their depth of detail, scientific
rigor, and clinical relevance. Included among the topics: Cognitive
organization as a dimension of individual differences and
psychopathology. Neurodevelopmental genomic strategies in the study
of the psychosis spectrum. Multimodal brain and behavior indices of
psychosis risk. The NIMH Research Domain Criteria Project: new
approaches to classifying psychotic spectrum disorders. The
Neuropsychopathology of Schizophrenia is one of the most
forward-thinking and engaging treatments of the field in recent
years, and is an i ndispensable text for all researchers,
academics, and clinicians who treat or study mental illness,
especially psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health
practitioners, and neuroscientists specializing in schizophrenia.
