The increased engagement of states with their co-ethnics abroad has
recently become one of the most contentious features of European
politics. Until recently, the issue has been discussed
predominantly within the paradigm of international security; yet a
review of the broader European picture shows that kin-state
engagement can in fact have a positive societal impact when it
actually responds effectively to the claims formulated by co-ethnic
communities themselves. Poland's Kin-State Policies: Opportunities
and Challenges offers new insights into this issue by examining
Poland’s fast-evolving relationship with Polish communities
living beyond its borders. Its central focus is the Act on the
Polish Card (generally known as Karta Polaka). Tracing policymaking
processes and the underlying political agendas that have shaped
them, the volume situates Poland’s engagement within broader
conceptual and normative debates around kin-state and diaspora
politics and explores its reception and impact in neighbouring
states (Ukraine, Germany, Lithuania). The volume highlights how the
issue of co-ethnics abroad is increasingly being instrumentalised,
most especially for the purposes of attracting labour migration to
resolve the demographic crisis in Poland. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue of Ethnopolitics.

This new study of senates in small powers across the North Atlantic
shows that the establishment and the reform of these upper
legislative houses have followed remarkably parallel trajectories.
Senate reforms emerged in the wake of deep political crises within
the North Atlantic world and were influenced by the comparatively
weak positions of small powers. Reformers responded to crises and
constantly looked beyond borders and oceans for inspiration to keep
their senates relevant. The Open Access version of this book,

English keyboard music reached an unsurpassed level of
sophistication in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth
centuries as organists such as William Byrd and his students took a
genre associated with domestic, amateur performance and treated it
as seriously as vocal music. This book draws together important
research on the music, its sources and the instruments on which it
was played. There are two chapters on instruments: John Koster on
the use of harpsichord during the period, and Dominic Gwynn on the
construction of Tudor-style organs based on the surviving evidence
we have for them. This leads to a section devoted to organ
performance practice in a liturgical context, in which John Harper
discusses what the use of organs pitched in F may imply about their
use in alternation with vocal polyphony, and Magnus Williamson
explores improvisational practice in the Tudor period. The next
section is on sources and repertoire, beginning with Frauke
Jurgensen and Rachelle Taylor's chapter on Clarifica me Pater
settings, which grows naturally out of the consideration of
improvisation in the previous chapter. The next two contributions
focus on two of the most important individual manuscript sources:
Tihomir Popovic challenges assumptions about My Ladye Nevells Booke
by reflecting on what the manuscript can tell us about aristocratic
culture, and David J. Smith provides a detailed study of the famous
Fitzwilliam Virginal Book. The discussion then broadens out into
Pieter Dirksen's consideration of a wider selection of sources
relating to John Bull, which in turn connects closely to David
Leadbetter's work on Gibbons, lute sources and questions of style.
Kids' Club Letters provides an innovative approach to group
psychotherapy for school-aged children who experience a range of
social and emotional problems. A narrative therapy approach is
adapted, taking the form of letters written by the therapist in the
voice of a child who is asking for advice about interpersonal or
emotional problems. The child in the letter is asking for guidance
from the participants in the group. These letters were devised and
written for the purpose of structuring responses in group
psychotherapy, allowing the participants to address relevant issues
for them individually and at the group level. The children in the
groups had previously experienced difficulty discussing these
issues spontaneously. Hence the 'Dear Group' letter format was
born. The children did not know that the therapist had written the
letters.
Drawing on primary documents such as farmer's diaries, small rural
papers of the 19th century, and the publications of state
agricultural societies, this provocative study presents an
intelligent overview into the driving forces of that shaped
American history in the Northeast.

This book explores a largely forgotten legacy of multicultural
political thought and practice from within Eastern Europe and
examines its relevance to post-Cold War debates on state and
nationhood. Featuring a Preface by former UK Home Secretary Charles
Clarke, it weaves theory and practice to challenge established
understandings of the nation state. Eastern Europe is still too
often viewed through the prism of ethnic conflict, which overlooks
the region's positive contribution to modern debates on the
political management of ethno-cultural diversity, and towards the
construction of a united Europe 'beyond the nation-state'. Based on
extensive archival research in Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Russia, as
well as the League of Nations Archive in Geneva, this book explores
this neglected multicultural legacy and assesses its significance
in the post-Cold War era, which has seen the reappearance of
national cultural autonomy laws in several states of Eastern
Europe. Ethnic Diversity and the Nation State is invaluable reading
for students and scholars of political science, history, sociology
and European studies, and also for policy makers and others
interested in minority rights and ethnic conflict regulation.

"Aberdeen in the Fifties and Sixties" is a beautfiul collection of
photographs displaying images of two of the most exciting decades
Aberdonians ever lived through. Skeletons of buildings bombed
during the blitz were flattened, events such as the advent of the
North Sea oil industry and the arrival of the first Chinese
restaurant are all recorded here. It is a fascinating book that
will captivate both locals and tourists alike. THE Fifties and
Sixties were two of the most exciting decades Aberdonians have ever
lived through. Skeletons of buildings bombed during the blitz were
flattened, others springing up in their place to create a new
landscape. The great exodus from the city centre got under way with
major new housing schemes springing up all around the outskirts.
This led to the bus becoming king of the road, ending the city's
tramway era. Landmarks like Black's Building and Castlehill
Barracks became a mere memory and the first high-rise blocks
altered the city's skyline. Aberdonians shopped at Reid and
Pearsons, Watt and Grants, Isaac Benzie's, The Equitable or the
Rubber Shop, all now consigned to memory. Three nights a week there
was greyhound racing at the Bridge of Dee. Rock 'n' Roll arrived at
the city's dance halls. And two significant events occurred in
people's lives - the advent of the North Sea oil industry and the
arrival of the first Chinese restaurant. And there to record all
the changes were photographers of the "Evening Express". From their
Broad Street headquarters they created a unique record of the
changing times of Scotland's most northerly city. Brought together
for the first time in this unique book, they paint a picture of
change over a 20-year period that now seems as sudden as it was
dramatic.
