This book is a unique volume that brings a variety of psychoanalytic perspectives to the study of sport. It highlights the importance of sports for different individuals and how the function and use of sports can be brought into the consulting room. Passionate interest in actively engaging in sports is a universal phenomenon. It is striking that this aspect of human life, prior to this volume, has received little attention in the literature of psychoanalysis. This edited volume is comprised largely of psychoanalysts who are themselves avidly involved with sports. It is suggested that intense involvement in sports prioritizes commitment and active engagement over passivity and that such involvement provides an emotionally tinged distraction from the various misfortunes of life. Indeed, the ups and downs in mood related to athletic victory or defeat often supplant, temporarily, matters in life that may be more personally urgent. Engaging in sports or rooting for teams provides a feeling of community and a sense of identification with like-minded others, even among those who are part of other communities and have sufficient communal identifications. This book offers a better psychoanalytic understanding of sports to help us discover more about ourselves, our patients and our culture, and will be of great interest to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, or anyone with an interest in sport and its link to psychoanalysis and mental health.

Focussing on the relatively few small firms which grew rapidly, this book, originally published in 1993 uses face-to-face interviews as well as published records to identify and analyse the managerial factors most closely associated with successful small firms. The volume concentrates on the following key managerial issues: In what respects do the managerial backgrounds and aspirations of the founders of fast-growth small firms differ from those of non-fast-growth small firms? How is the process of growth managed? What incentives, remuneration packages and communication systems are instituted? How do these characteristics and experiences differ in fast-growth small firms from both the traditional small firm and large-firm sector? To what extent is it possible to explain the relative economic performance of small firms in terms of differences in their ownership, organizational and management structures.

This study, originally published in 1987, addresses the question of small firm performance. Drawing on an extensive database containing financial, employment and ownership data for several thousand small firms, the book examines whether small firms do actually provide jobs, whether they grow and why small firms fail. Guidance is given on how to spot the signs of impending failure in a small business, which is of use to accountants small business PR actioners and government grant providers.

People worry that computers, robots, interstellar aliens, or Satan himself - brilliant, stealthy, ruthless creatures - may seize control of our world and destroy what's uniquely valuable about the human race. Cultural Evolution and its Discontents shows that our cultural systems - especially those whose last names are "ism" - are already doing that, and doing it so adeptly that we seldom even notice. Like other parasites, they've blindly evolved to exploit us for their own survival. Creative arts and humanistic scholarship are our best tools for diagnosis and cure. The assemblages of ideas that have survived, like the assemblages of biological cells that have survived, are the ones good at protecting and reproducing themselves. They aren't necessarily the ones that guide us toward our most admirable selves or our healthiest future. Relying so heavily on culture to protect our uniquely open minds from cognitive overload makes us vulnerable to hijacking by the systems that co-evolve with us. Recognizing the selfish Darwinian functions of these systems makes sense of many aspects of history, politics, economics, and popular culture. What drove the Protestant Reformation? Why have the Beatles, The Hunger Games, and paranoid science-fiction thrived, and how was hip-hop co-opted? What alliances helped neoliberalism out-compete Communism, and what alliances might enable environmentalism to overcome consumerism? Why are multiculturalism and university-trained elites provoking working-class nationalist backlash? In a digital age, how can we use numbers without having them use us instead? Anyone who has wondered how our species can be so brilliant and so stupid at the same time may find an answer here: human mentalities are so complex that we crave the simplifications provided by our cultures, but the cultures that thrive are the ones that blind us to any interests that don't correspond to their own.

Until recently film has been impractical and expensive to teach, but television and video have provided unprecedented opportunities. Not only is it becoming possible for everyone to make use of a library of films on video, subjecting them to close evaluative study, but also, with the increasing availability of video cameras in schools and colleges, it is becoming possible for everyone to learn the language of this richly expressive form by using it. Through an engaged analysis of the beginnings of film, the nature of expression, the conventions of film and television, the development of narrative, and modern film theories, Robert Watson provides an aesthetic framework for film study which has implications and numerous suggestions for practical creative work.

There is increasing scientific evidence to suggest that humans are gradually but certainly changing the Earth's climate. In an effort to prevent further damage to the fragile atmosphere, and with the belief that action is required now, the scientific community has been prolific in its dissemination of information on climate change. Inspired by the results of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Second Assessment Report, Jepma and Munasinghe set out to create a concise, practical and compelling approach to climate change issues. They deftly explain the implications of global warming, and the risks involved in attempting to mitigate climate change. They look at how and where to start action, and what organization is needed to be able to implement the changes. This book represents a much needed synopsis of climate change and its real impacts on society. It will be an essential text for climate change researchers, policy analysts, university students studying the environment, and anyone with an interest in climate change issues.

The older of the two, named Lundsay, was black and a slave, the other was the writer of these lines, Lundsays young master, his very young master in fact, being then but four years and eight months old. At the little railroad station called Durham less than fifty miles away General Johnston had just surrendered to General Sherman and the Confederacy had collapsed. For several days we had been expecting the triumphant Union troops to march through Springfield, our refugee plan tation, on their way north. Expectation was at tip-toe. Ever since Shermans easy victory over Johnston, at the last pitched battle of the war, known as Bentonville, the wildest rumors had been afloat. The grapevine telegraph told of a mighty Yankee host, in bright uniforms, with brass buttons and pockets bulging with real money. Finally the eventful dayhad arrived. In the distance, Lundsay and I could catch the rub-a-dub-dub of the kettledrum and the notes of the fife. Nearer came the sound of marching feet and soon our ten acre grove was alive with Blue Coats. Almost in a moment horses were unhitched and fed, tents, white and circus-like, arose and a little city sprang up. Soldiers by the hundreds began to wander through the slave quarters and around our dwelling...
