The Deja vu Experience, Second Edition covers the latest scientific
discoveries regarding the strange sense of familiarity most of us
have felt at one time or another when doing something for the first
time. The book sheds light on this mysterious phenomenon,
considering the latest neurophysiological investigations and
research on possible reasons why deja vu is often associated with a
sense of predicting the future or knowing what happens next. In
addition to summarizing the major historical and contemporary
theoretical approaches to the deja vu experience, this book aspires
to stimulate additional research on this curious subjective
phenomenon. Drawing on research from a range of fields including
psychology, philosophy, and religion, it aims to demystify some of
the more unsettling, spooky-seeming aspects of the deja vu
experience, elucidating possible mechanisms and underlying reasons
for its occurrence. This edition has been thoroughly updated
throughout to include over 200 new professional articles and book
chapters related to deja vu that have been published in the 18
years since the original book. By placing the scientific study of
deja vu within its historical context and covering a broad range of
perspectives on the subject, this title will be invaluable to
upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers of
Cognitive Psychology, specifically those focusing on Memory
Phenomena.

This collection offers a diverse range of perspectives that seek to
find meaning in madness. Mainstream biomedical approaches tend to
interpret experiences commonly labelled "psychotic" as being
indicative of a biological illness that can best be ameliorated
with prescription drugs. In seeking to counter this perspective,
psychosocial outlooks commonly focus on the role of trauma and
environmental stress. Although an appreciation for the role of
trauma has been critical in expanding the ways in which we view
madness, an emphasis of this kind may nevertheless continue to
perpetuate a subtle form of reductivism-madness continues to be
understood as the product of a deficit. In seeking to move beyond
causal-reductivism, this book explores a variety of perspectives on
the question of finding inherent meaning in madness and extreme
states. Contributors to this book are distinguished writers and
researchers from a variety of international and interdisciplinary
perspectives. Topics span the fields of depth psychology and
psychoanalysis, creativity, Indigenous and postcolonial approaches,
neurodiversity, mad studies, and mysticism and spirituality. This
collection will be of interest to mental health professionals,
students and scholars of the humanities and social sciences, and
people with lived experience of madness and extreme states. Readers
will come away with an appreciation of the more generative aspects
of madness, and a recognition that these experiences may be
important for both personal and collective healing.
Originally published in 2005. This comprehensive volume examines
the issue of Europe-making related to the post EU/NATO enlargement
and the post 9/11 situation. Dual enlargement and the War on
Terrorism are raising important questions for various actors in
Europe, in particular what these developments will mean for the
future of regional cooperation and the development of a regional
subjectivity. Such concerns have been further compounded by
America's distinction between 'New Europe' and 'Old Europe'. The
volume analyzes at both policy and conceptual levels how the dual
enlargement and the War on Terrorism will impact on regional
cooperation in northern Europe. It examines how events in northern
Europe have helped shape the nature of European space, borders and
governance, including how the EU, the US and Russia have each
highlighted northern Europe as a special case to be utilized and
learnt from in dealing with problems elsewhere in Europe and
globally. Presenting original articles, the volume will appeal to
scholars of regional politics as well as security, international
relations theory and geopolitics.
Variational Techniques for Elliptic Partial Differential Equations,
intended for graduate students studying applied math, analysis,
and/or numerical analysis, provides the necessary tools to
understand the structure and solvability of elliptic partial
differential equations. Beginning with the necessary definitions
and theorems from distribution theory, the book gradually builds
the functional analytic framework for studying elliptic PDE using
variational formulations. Rather than introducing all of the
prerequisites in the first chapters, it is the introduction of new
problems which motivates the development of the associated
analytical tools. In this way the student who is encountering this
material for the first time will be aware of exactly what theory is
needed, and for which problems. Features A detailed and rigorous
development of the theory of Sobolev spaces on Lipschitz domains,
including the trace operator and the normal component of vector
fields An integration of functional analysis concepts involving
Hilbert spaces and the problems which can be solved with these
concepts, rather than separating the two Introduction to the
analytical tools needed for physical problems of interest like
time-harmonic waves, Stokes and Darcy flow, surface differential
equations, Maxwell cavity problems, etc. A variety of problems
which serve to reinforce and expand upon the material in each
chapter, including applications in fluid and solid mechanics
Through an in-depth case study of the black professional middle
class in Oakland, this book provides an analysis of the experiences
of black professionals in the workplace, community, and local
politics. Brown shows how overlapping dynamics of class formation
and racial formation have produced historically powerful processes
of what he terms "racialized class formation," resulting in a
distinct (and internally differentiated) entity, not merely a
subset of a larger professional middle class.
Metal contamination of groundwater results from many human
activities, including agriculture, mining, and the disposal of
municipal waste and fly ash. Metals in Groundwater describes the
transport of metals to groundwater from these and other sources. It
also covers risk assessment of metals in groundwater, coupling of
chemicals and hydrological models, and sorption of metals onto
soils and clays. The speciation of metals is examined in detail.
The book will interest researchers in environmental quality,
mining, and agriculture; consultants; industry professionals; and
personnel within regulatory agencies.

Since the split between Freud and Jung, psychoanalysis and
analytical psychology have largely developed in an atmosphere of
mutual disregard. Only in recent years have both discourses shown
signs of an increasing willingness to engage. Re-Encountering Jung:
Analytical Psychology and Contemporary Psychoanalysis is the first
edited volume devoted to a reconciliation between these two fields.
The contributors explore how Jungian thinking influences,
challenges, and is challenged by recent developments in the
psychoanalytic mainstream. In examining the nature of the split,
figures from both sides of the conversation seek to establish lines
of contrast and commonality so as to reflect an underlying belief
in the value of reciprocal engagement. Each of the chapters in this
collection engages the relationship between Jungian and
psychoanalytic thinking with the intention of showing how both
lines of discourse might have something to gain from attending more
to the voice of the other. While several of the contributing
authors offer new perceptions on historical concerns, the main
thrust of the collection is in exploring contemporary debates.
Re-Encountering Jung reflects a unique undertaking to address one
of the longest-standing and most significant rifts in the history
of depth psychology. It will be of great interest to all academics,
students and clinicians working within the fields of psychoanalysis
and analytical psychology.
The past decade has witnessed a renaissance in scientific
approaches to the study of morality. Once understood to be the
domain of moral psychology, the newer approach to morality is
largely interdisciplinary, driven in no small part by developments
in behavioural economics and evolutionary biology, as well as
advances in neuroscientific imaging capabilities, among other
fields. To date, scientists studying moral cognition and behaviour
have paid little attention to virtue theory, while virtue theorists
have yet to acknowledge the new research results emerging from the
new science of morality. Theology and the Science of Moral Action
explores a new approach to ethical thinking that promotes dialogue
and integration between recent research in the scientific study of
moral cognition and behaviour-including neuroscience, moral
psychology, and behavioural economics-and virtue theoretic
approaches to ethics in both philosophy and theology. More
particularly, the book evaluates the concept of moral exemplarity
and its significance in philosophical and theological ethics as
well as for ongoing research programs in the cognitive sciences.

The first full-length, scholarly study of the Societe des auteurs
dramatiques (SAD), this book describes the form, the meaning, the
achievements, and the failures of the first professional
association for creative writers in European history. Founded by
the well-known playwright Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais in
1777 under the protection of prominent aristocrats at the court of
King Louis XVI, the SAD comprised the playwrights most closely
associated with the royal theater of the kingdom, the Comedie
FranAaise. Its two dozen members discussed and worked to advance
both their collective interests under the royal theater regulations
(which governed such issues of literary property, creative control,
and remuneration) and to promote their public image as playwrights
and men of letters more broadly - while at the same time competing
with each other, sometimes intensely, for control over that image.
Gregory Brown traces the story of the SAD from its conception in
the mid-1770s through to the French Revolution, exploring first the
Society's founding in 1777, then its trajectory until its
dissolution at the end of 1780, and finally discusses a revival of
the group during the Revolution. In each chapter, Brown analyzes
the strategic efforts of Beaumarchais and his associates, to shape
regulations and legislation concerning droits d'auteur (authorial
remuneration and literary property) and their efforts to reshape
the public status and identity of playwrights through
correspondence, print and face-to-face encounters with the troupe
of the Comedie FranAaise, the theater's aristocratic supervisors at
court, its lawyers and government administrators, its commercial
publics, and other, authors. Brown argues against previous
treatments of the SAD, which have presented it as a spontaneous,
dissident challenge to constituted social and political authority
under the Old Regime. He demonstrates instead how the SAD emerged
from within existing lines of authority in e

He demonstrates instead how the SAD emerged from within existing
lines of authority in eighteenth-century France, at the
intersection of a reforming court, a monopolistic commercial
theater, and playwrights anxious about their status and identity as
men of letters. Through extensive archival research, he explores
how royal power interacted with civil society in the governance of
a theater that served the court under royal patronage while it also
maintained a commercial monopoly in Paris. cultural life in the Age
of Enlightenment. He offers readers a case study of intellectual
sociability in the Republic of Letters, a little-known chapter in
the life of Beaumarchais, and an innovative, historical approach to
one of the crucial cultural developments of the period - the
emergence of intellectual property amidst the transition from a
patron-client to a market-driven system of authorship.

The first half of this book is primarily a systematic survey of the
snails, beginning with glossaries, keys for identification to
genera and a checklist of species. This is followed by a synopsis
of species, with brief notes on ecology, distribution and
parasites. Relationships are then described between snails and
schistosomes and with other parasites. The book goes on to consider
the factors affecting snail populations and possible methods for
population control.

Nation branding is regarded as essential for competitiveness among
countries, but the idea of branding nations is often derided as
lacking seriousness. While nation branding has been on the radar of
scholars of marketing, communication, and media studies, as well as
political geography for decades, it has only made a small dent into
the international relations field. In Nation Branding and
International Politics Christopher Browning argues that
international relations should take nation branding seriously.
Nation branding not only involves the issues of culture, identity,
and status – which are of principal concern to IR – but it is
also a different and potentially fruitful way of reconceptualizing
statehood. Mobilizing work on ontological security, anxiety,
status, and distinction, and grounding the analysis in a broader
historical context, Browning finds that nation branding is
politically significant, though not necessarily for the reasons its
advocates claim. Specifically, the book raises important questions
about nation branding’s influence on the constitution of national
identity, the reframing of citizenship, and the topography of
contemporary geopolitics. Nation Branding and International
Politics considers how status, prestige, and reputation are
constructed and maintained in international society, and how,
perhaps, this construction and maintenance may be changing – just
as the practice of nation branding is changing.
