Psychoanalytic Geographies is a unique, path-breaking volume and a
core text for anyone seeking to grasp how psychoanalysis helps us
understand fundamental geographical questions, and how geographical
understandings can offer new ways of thinking psychoanalytically.
Elaborating on a variety of psychoanalytic approaches that embrace
geographical imaginations and a commitment toward spatial thinking,
this book demonstrates the breadth, depth, and vitality of cutting
edge work in psychoanalytic geographies and presents readers with
as wide a set of options as possible for taking psychoanalysis
forward in their own work. It covers a wide range of themes and
perspectives in terms of theoretical approaches such as Freudian,
Lacanian, Kristevan, and Irigarayian; conceptual issues such as
space, power, identity, culture, political economy, colonialism,
ethics, and aesthetics; disciplinary insights including Geography,
English, Sexuality Studies, and History of Science; as well as
empirical contexts such as the reception of psychoanalysis in early
twentieth century England, psychoanalytic geographies of violence
and creativity in a small Mexican city, visual cultures of
second-generation Iranian artists living in Los Angeles, and the
hysterical underpinnings of climate change scepticism.

Unearthing the messy and sprawling interrelationships of place,
wellbeing, and popular music, this book explores musical
soundscapes of health, ranging from activism to international
charity, to therapeutic treatments and how wellbeing is sought and
attained in contexts of music. Drawing on critical social theories
of the production, circulation, and consumption of popular music,
the book gathers together diverse insights from geographers and
musicologists. Popular music has become increasingly embedded in
complex and often contradictory discourses of wellbeing. For
instance, some new genres and sub-cultures of popular music are
associated with violence, drug-use, and the angst of living, yet
simultaneously define the hopes and dreams of millions of young
people. At a service level, popular music is increasingly used as a
therapeutic modality in holistic medicine, as well as in
conventional health care and public health practice. The genre of
popular music, then, is fundamental to human wellbeing as an active
and central part of people's emotional lives. By conceptually and
empirically foregrounding place, this book demonstrates how - music
whether from particular places, about particular places, or played
in particular places " is a crucial component of health and
wellbeing.

A Place More Void takes its name from a scene in William
Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, wherein an elderly
soothsayer has a final chance to warn Caesar about the Ides of
March. Worried that he won't be able to deliver his message because
of the crowded alleyways, the soothsayer devises a plan to find and
intercept Caesar in "a place more void." It is precisely such an
elusive place that this volume makes space for by theorizing and
empirically exploring the many yet widely neglected ways in which
the void permeates geographical thinking. This collection presents
geography's most in-depth and sustained engagements with the void
to date, demonstrating the extent to which related themes such as
gaps, cracks, lacks, and emptiness perforate geography's
fundamental concepts, practices, and passions. Arranged in four
parts around the themes of Holes, Absences, Edges, and Voids, the
contributions demonstrate the fecundity of the void for thinking
across a wide range of phenomena: from archives to alien
abductions, caves to cryptids, and vortexes to vanishing points. A
Place More Void gathers established and emerging scholars who
engage a wide range of geographical issues and who express
themselves not only through archival, literary, and
socio-scientific investigations, but also through social and
spatial theory, political manifesto, poetry, and performance art.
The Petty Officer's Guide is written and edited by petty officers
for petty officers. It is designed to ensure Navy Petty Officers
are ready to fight and win wars at sea, under the sea, in the air,
on land, and in outer space and cyberspace by exposing junior Petty
Officers to innovative and modern leadership methodologies. Serving
as the premiere leadership guide to junior Navy Petty Officers, it
enhances development processes and tools such as the Navy Leader
Development Framework, Education for Sea Power, Sailor 360, and
Enlisted Leader Development courses. Furthermore, it reinforces
modern lines of effort identified in the Chief of Naval Operations'
Design for Maritime Superiority and promotes the development of
innovative leaders and strategic thinkers. This guide provides
unique insights into the values, beliefs, attitudes, and skills
that enable the success of naval leaders, how Petty Officers can
use power bases, influence tactics, and managerial skills to
achieve objectives, and how to influence their peers in support of
organizational objectives to achieve the mission accomplishment.
In this exciting new collection, leading and emerging Lacanian
scholars seek to understand what psychoanalysis brings to debates
about the environment and the climate crisis. They argue that we
cannot understand climate change and all of its multifarious
ramifications without first understanding how our terrifying
proximity to the real undergirds our relation to the environment,
how we mistake lack for loss and mourning for melancholy, and how
we seek to destroy the same world we seek to protect. The book
traces Lacan's contribution through a consideration of topics
including doomsday preppers, forest suicides, Indigenous
resistance, post-apocalyptic films, the mathematics of climate
science, and the relevance of Kant. They ask: What can you do if
your neighbour is a climate change denier? What would Bartleby do?
Does the animal desire? Who is cleaning up all the garbage on the
internet? Why is the sudden greening of the planet under COVID-19
no help whatsoever? It offers a timely intervention into Lacanian
theory, environmental studies, geography, philosophy, and literary
studies that illustrates the relevance of psychoanalysis to current
social and environmental concerns.
