South Africa's 1994 election was widely hailed around the world as
miraculous. In this book, Anthony Butler examines South African
experiences to cast doubt on this celebratory attitude to
democracy. Contemporary political analysis highlights the benefits
that democracy can sometimes bring. Butler, by contrast, argues
that democracy can be malign. He attacks the myth that democracy
ended apartheid, and shows that democratic practices themselves
contributed to its evils. The author also explores weaknesses in
political science as a discipline. This book will be essential
reading for specialists in South Africa, and will appeal to
political theorists, students of comparative politics, and
historians.
The late Victorian period witnessed the remarkable revival of
magical practice and belief. Butler examines the individuals,
institutions and literature associated with this revival and
demonstrates how Victorian occultism provided an alternative to the
tightening camps of science and religion in a social environment
that nurtured magical beliefs.
'A major contribution to the rethinking of the socialist project.
The analysis is clear and profound and identifies the dilemmas but
also the potential of contemporary socialism.' - Andrew Gamble,
Professor of Politics, University of Sheffield;This comparative and
theoretical account of the heritage and prospects of socialism in
Western Europe characterises socialist political theory as
transformative. Socialists counterpose objective social appraisal,
such as the theory of capitalism, to implausibly ambitious agents
of change - the proletariat or the interventionist state. This
framework of analysis generates a comparative account of European
socialist parties and their attitudes to international institutions
- especially the European Union - and suggests a favourable
prognosis for the future of socialism.
Split constructions are widespread in natural languages. The
separation of the semantic restriction of a quantifier from that
quantifier is a typical example of such a construction. This study
addresses the problem that such discontinuous strings
exhibit--namely, a number of locality constraints, including
intervention effects. These are shown to follow from the
interaction of a minimalist syntax with a semantics that directly
assigns a model-theoretic interpretation to syntactic logical
forms. The approach is shown to have wide empirical coverage and a
conceptual simplicity. The book will be of interest to scholars and
advanced students of syntax and semantics.
In this book, first published in 1998, world-renowned experts on
the subject of contemporary librarianship analyse the problems
associated with coping with an ever-expanding knowledge base, given
their current economic constraints and budgets. It examines
challenging marketplace solutions to problems in the economics of
information; economic modelling of investments in information
resources at academic institutions; the economics of resource
sharing, consortia, and document delivery; and measuring the costs
and benefits of distance learning.
Archetypal psychology is a post-Jungian mode of theory and practice
initiated primarily through the prolific work of James Hillman.
Hillman's writing carries a far-reaching collection of evocative
ideas with a wealth of vital implications for the field of clinical
psychology. With the focus on replacing the dominant fantasy of a
scientific psychology with psychology as logos of soul, archetypal
psychology has shifted the focus of therapy away from cure of the
symptom toward vivification and expression of the mythopoetic
imagination. This book provides the reader with an overview of the
primary themes taken up by archetypal psychology, as differentiated
from both classical Jungian analysis and Freudian derivatives of
psychoanalysis. Throughout the text, Jason Butler gathers the
disparate pieces of archetypal method and weaves them together with
examples of dreams, fantasy images and clinical vignettes in order
to depict the particular style taken up by archetypal
psychotherapy-a therapeutic approach that fosters an expansion of
psychological practice beyond mere ego-adaptation and coping,
providing a royal road to a life and livelihood of archetypal
significance. Archetypal Psychotherapy: The clinical legacy of
James Hillman will be of interest to researchers and academics in
the fields of Jungian and archetypal psychology looking for a new
perspective, as well as practising psychotherapists.

The Caring Ministry program was developed by the Pastoral Care Team
at St. John as Episcopal Cathedral in Denver, Colorado, to train
lay people in basic pastoral skills. Its premise is that there is
no better way to cultivate a receptive posture towrd others than by
praticing listening to God. The Caring Ministry Approach thus
combines basic pastoral skills and guildelines along with an
emphasis on being grounded in prayer. It invites both clergy and
lay ministers to deepen the well of relationship with God as a
means to developing a caring, listening heart.The text weds
experise with reflection and draws up the rich stories and lessons
from scripture that add the spark of wisdom and grace to
psychological programs. It is particularly suited for use in
church-based pastoral care programs.

Build an agile, responsive portfolio with a new approach to global
asset allocation Adaptive Asset Allocation is a no-nonsense how-to
guide for dynamic portfolio management. Written by the team behind
Gestaltu.com, this book walks you through a uniquely objective and
unbiased investment philosophy and provides clear guidelines for
execution. From foundational concepts and timing to forecasting and
portfolio optimization, this book shares insightful perspective on
portfolio adaptation that can improve any investment strategy.
Accessible explanations of both classical and contemporary research
support the methodologies presented, bolstered by the authors' own
capstone case study showing the direct impact of this approach on
the individual investor. Financial advisors are competing in an
increasingly commoditized environment, with the added burden of two
substantial bear markets in the last 15 years. This book presents a
framework that addresses the major challenges both advisors and
investors face, emphasizing the importance of an agile,
globally-diversified portfolio. * Drill down to the most important
concepts in wealth management * Optimize portfolio performance with
careful timing of savings and withdrawals * Forecast returns 80%
more accurately than assuming long-term averages * Adopt an
investment framework for stability, growth, and maximum income An
optimized portfolio must be structured in a way that allows quick
response to changes in asset class risks and relationships, and the
flexibility to continually adapt to market changes. To execute such
an ambitious strategy, it is essential to have a strong grasp of
foundational wealth management concepts, a reliable system of
forecasting, and a clear understanding of the merits of individual
investment methods. Adaptive Asset Allocation provides critical
background information alongside a streamlined framework for
improving portfolio performance.

Organizational Communication: Foundations, Challenges, and
Misunderstandings examines how communication is central to
organizational life and the complexities and complications that
arise as people attempt to coordinate their organizational
activities. The text underscores the importance of the
relationships we establish with the people with whom we work and
how a better understanding of organizational communication theory
and application can help us anticipate and manage misunderstandings
in the workplace. In Part One, students learn about classical and
modern management theories, systems theory, and frameworks for
understanding organizational communication, including
organizational culture and critical theory. In Part Two, the text
covers topics traditionally covered in organizational communication
textbooks through the lens of misunderstandings. Stories from
organizational members highlight challenges and opportunities
related to communicating in the organization. Realistic
recruitment, socialization, the relationship between supervisors
and subordinates, peer and team relationships, and leadership
communication are addressed. The fifth edition features new
interview data; broader coverage of diversity; expanded discussions
of emotions at work; and examinations of workplace bullying,
blended relationships, and technology as it relates to gender and
age. Offering students a balanced mix of theoretical and practical
information, Organizational Communication is an exemplary textbook
for introductory organizational communication courses.
100 years of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin: Reviews and New
Perspectives is a collection of articles written by some of the
world's leading experts on the pregnancy hormone and cancer marker
hCG. In 2019 it is difficult to ignore the effect that our
understanding of hCG has had on the lives of millions of people
worldwide. The hCG immunoassay, in one form or another, is now one
of the most common medical tests conducted and is often the first
indication that a mother-to-be is pregnant. Not only a marker of
pregnancy, hCG is utilized in the diagnosis and monitoring in
oncology and presents a potential target for novel cancer
therapeutics. 100 years ago, in 1919, Hirose was demonstrating
gonadotropic functions which resulted from a chorionic factor. Over
the last century this factor has become defined as hCG and more
recently explored as not one molecule but a group of molecules with
variable structure and variable functions in both pregnancy and
cancer. hCG is a multi-faceted molecule that has clinical and
therapeutic implications but can be a challenging topic for
researchers and physicians alike. This text covers the different
structures and functions of hCG exploring the genes and evolution
of the molecule, the different protein and glycosylation structures
which can exist and their effect on structure, detection and
quantification. 100 Years of hCG is not an attempt to recount the
history of every publication on hCG, but rather a collection of
reviews and new perspectives by "hCG-ologists", the term used by
Hussa to describe biochemists working on HCG in the first book
written on the topic over 30 years ago. Some of the authors have
been around a while, some not so long, but others are just
beginning their journey with a most beguiling molecule.
