Affirming Antonio Gramsci’s continuing influence, this adroitly
cultivated Companion offers a comprehensive overview of Gramsci’s
contributions to the interdisciplinary fields of critical social
science, social and political thought, economics and emancipatory
politics. Within the tradition of historical materialism, it
explores the continuing impact of Gramscian perspectives in the
present day. Featuring contributions from eminent scholars, the
Companion engages with Gramsci’s thought in the broader context
of his life, outlining his innovative theoretical and historical
analyses of capitalist modernity. Key themes within Gramscian
theory are examined such as historical bloc, passive revolution,
integral state, and civil society, which elaborate upon the core
concept of hegemony. Chapters map out the development of historical
materialism and rigorously analyse contemporary issues of urgency
including climate breakdown, the rise of far-right populism, and
increasing geopolitical tension. Offering a state-of-the-art review
of Gramscian theory, this Companion will prove beneficial to
academics, researchers and students from across the social sciences
and humanities, and will be essential reading for those interested
in political economy and political theory, sociology, philosophy,
radical and feminist economics, environmental studies, gender
studies, and post-colonial and cultural studies.

Bullying is frequently identified as an urgent challenge facing
schools today. This title sets out to provide guidelines for school
communities on how to: identify bullying in schools; take action to
deal with bullying; develop a common approach to deal with
bullying; develop positive relationships in the school; promote
active learning strategies in the school. Beat bullying is based on
the belief that every child and young person has the right to learn
in a safe, supportive and respectful environment. The title is
divided in two parts? one for teachers and parents, and the other
for learners.
Empaths are highly sensitive and feel other people’s energies and
emotions as if they were their own. Uniquely intuitive and
hyper-perceptive, empaths are also more sensitive to collective
energy, the energy of spaces, and in some cases even physical
stimuli like noise. Interacting with the world so intimately is a
blessing, yet it also means your relationship strategies as an
empath—not just regarding romantic love, but in all areas—must
be navigated thoughtfully. Romantic partners, friends, coworkers,
and family members all present opportunities for uncommonly close
connections, though empaths might fall into rescuing, codependency,
or people-pleasing as unhealthy relationship coping skills. Â
Instead, learn to: * More mindfully choose between feeling with
others or staying in your own energy and emotions. * Support loved
ones from a place of healthy detachment and discernment. * Be more
assertive about getting your needs and desires met. *
Protect and nourish your sensitive system. * Understand and
maximize your intuition. * Nurture your relationships to create
more healing intimacy. * Engage with collective energy in an
empowered way to be of service and live with more purpose. Â
Author and professional intuitive Tanya Carroll Richardson has
worked with thousands of empath clients from all over the world.
Here she presents a guide to relationships of all kinds with
empaths and sensitives specifically in mind, complete with quizzes,
interactive exercises, and helpful mantras that make this book a
valuable resource for connecting with yourself as well as creating
more fulfilling interactions with others.Â
