This annual series, published in co-operation with the Women in
International Development Program at Michigan State University,
uses a multidisciplinary approach to explore women's experiences
across a wide range of geographical areas, economic sectors, and
societal institutions. The articles presented in each volume
synthesize a growing body of literature on key issues, suggest
priorities for research, and propose changes in development policy
and programming. Each volume is divided into three major sections.
In the first, contributors distill and interpret research in review
articles; in the second - a trend report - they provide original
analysis of existing data sets; and in the final section, they
analyze a specific research concern from varying perspectives.
In a book that is both a critical analysis of contemporary society
and the record of a feminist intellectual odyssey, Ann Ferguson,
one of the most influential socialist-feminist theorists, develops

This unique, timely book of original essays sets the stage for a
new materialist feminist debate on the analysis, ethics and
politics of love. The contributors raise questions about social
power and domination, situating their research in a materialist
feminist perspective that investigates love historically, in order
to understand changing ideologies, representations and practices.
The essays range from studies of particular representations and
examples of love - feminist translation, mass media images and
internet love blogs - to feminist theories of love and marriage, to
ethical and political theories describing, critiquing or advocating
the use of love in groups as a radical force. They break new ground
in bringing together questions of gendered interests in love,
temporal dimensions of loving practices and the politics of love in
radical transformations of society.

Taking Socialism Seriously raises essential questions about what
socialism is and how socialists can reach it by addressing a long
list of potential quandaries. The contributions compiled by Anatole
Anton and Richard Schmitt describe how socialism differs from a
reformed and more humane form of capitalism. Various chapters
discuss suitable forms of love and family in a socialist society
and economic arrangements within a socialist system. They also
break important new paths by calling for significant social change,
examining detailed questions that have previously been neglected
and setting a new direction for radical theorists. Critics are
often convinced that there is no alternative and therefore are
content to reform capitalism. This book affirms that another world
is possible.

Toward a New Socialism offers a critical analysis of capitalism's
failings and the imminent need for socialism as an alternative form
of government. This book demonstrates that capitalism is
destructive and limiting to the many ongoing campaigns to increase
freedom, equality, and security. Dr. Richard Schmitt joins with Dr.
Anatole Anton to compile a volume of essays exploring the benefits
and consequences of a socialist system as an avenue of increased
human solidarity and ethical principle. The essays offer a new
definition of socialism by investigating the theories and
principles of socialism, its influence on social institutions, and
its role in work dynamics. Raising important and unavoidable
questions for contemporary society, Toward a New Socialism is a
vital resource for scholars of political theory and the
globalization movement, as well as a necessary read for every
citizen under capitalism.

Iris Marion Young was a world-renowned feminist moral and political
philosopher whose many books and articles spanned more than three
decades. She explored issues of social justice and oppression
theory, the phenomenology of women's bodies, deliberative democracy
and questions of terrorism, violence, international law and the
role of the national security state. Her works have been of great
interest to those both in the analytic and Continental
philosophical tradition, and her roots range from critical theory
(Habermas and Marcuse), and phenomenology (Beauvoir and Merleau
Ponty) to poststructural psychoanalytic feminism (Kristeva and
Ingaray). This anthology of writings aims to carry on the fruitful
lines of thought she created and contains works by both well-known
and younger authors who explore and engage critically with aspects
of her work. The essays include personal remembrances as well as a
last interview with Young about her work. The essays are organized
into topic areas that are of interest to students in advanced
undergraduate and graduate courses in ethics, feminist theory, and
political philosophy.

Although words themselves cannot be owned it is when they become a
compilation of words authors would normally become the owner,
author and therefore retain copyright over the work. Currently this
does not relate to the media release produced by public relations
professionals. While it is not the purpose of this book to simplify
the media release authorship, ownership and copyright issue because
it is a complex one, it is the intention of this book to raise and
discuss the complex relationship that exists between the media
release, public relations practitioners and journalists because it
is exists outside the normal boundaries of ownership, authorship
and copyright.The automatic assumption of authorship, ownership and
copyright being waived and therefore assigned to another person(s)
may have long term ramifications that have not yet been realized.
