used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad

images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

principles of grief theories and concepts and provide practical
ideas for promoting healing. Chapters offer clinical strategies,
approaches, and interventions, including strategies based in
expressive arts and complementary therapies. Leading researchers,
clinicians, and professionals address major topics in death, dying,
and bereavement, using superhero narratives to explore loss in the
context of bereavement and to promote a contextual view of issues

Through a series of reflections from internationally renowned
performance-makers and contextualising essays from leading theatre
and performance scholars, this is the first book to map the
influence of Roland Barthes on performance. The contributions are
framed through Barthes's notion of 'neutral dramaturgies' - a
welcome antidote to the political deadlock of our present moment -
and cover the breadth of Barthes's work from his essay 'The Death
of the Author' (1967) to Mythologies (1972), Camera Lucida (1981),
A Lover's Discourse (1990) to the more recently available lecture
courses at the College de France. Together, they capture a range of
Barthes's preoccupations, from his early writing on myths and
meaning to personal reflections on love, loss and desire, and
interrogate the intersections between Barthes's work and
contemporary theatre and performance. Having read this book,
readers can approach Barthes's writing from a breadth of creative
perspectives, be more aware of the importance of his late thought
for thinking through a range of dramaturgical forms, and become
more familiar with the work of internationally significant
performance practitioners and the possible critical perspectives to
analyse his work.

attachment-informed grief counseling framework and a new way of
understanding non-death loss and its treatment. Loss and grief are
viewed through a wide-angle lens with relevance to the whole of

intimacy and sexuality, seperation and loss, grief and meaning
reconstruction. Rich in case material related to loss and change,
the book provides the tools for adopting a highly personalized
approach to working with clients facing a range of life
transitions. This book is a highly relevant and practical volume
for grief counselors and other mental health professionals looking
to incorporate attachment theory into their clinical practice.
Since the end of the World War II, nation states have formed
regions to give them some protection from the processes of
globalization and internationalization. Against this background,
the contributors consider the position of China in the processes of
regional competitive interdependency. This book offers analysis at
three levels: internal, regional, and global. Chapters consider
China's position in regional post-socialist associations such as
the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the
Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), the Silk Road Economic Belt and the
'One Belt, One Road' (OBOR). Contributors discuss how membership in
these regional bodies is likely to enhance China's economic power,
strategic position, and political importance. A major theme
addressed is whether these new powers will become complementary to
the American-led economic core countries or evolve as
countervailing powers. Contributors suggest that linkages favored
by China's regional associations are more 'network' based and
informal in character. They are more in keeping with
regionalization rather than regional blocs such as the European
Union, which have 'locked in' members to market-driven
institutions. Thus, these new developments move away from a
neo-liberal market perspective and satisfy the needs of members to
retain their economic and political sovereignty. This book
considers whether these new regional blocs led by China will
perform a 'transformative' process for the international order or
become an alternative-supplementary to, but not replacing, the
existing institutions of the North. An important topic is the
relationship of Russia and China to the Central Asian countries of
the former USSR and the interaction between the Russia-led Eurasian
Economic Union and the Chinese initiative of the Silk Road Economic
Belt. There is potential for the evolution of an alliance between
China and Russia against the neo-liberal order led by the USA.
Concurrently, they bring out possible the tensions between Russia's
and China's conflicting interests over influence in Central Asia.
Reactions to China's rise include the Trump administration's
movement from a multilateral to a bi-lateral trade policy and the
threat of discriminatory tariffs for China. The contributors seek
to promote a better appreciation of China's role in regional
associations, and the implications of contemporary developments in
economic, geo-political, and international political affairs in the
21st century.

Non-Death Loss and Grief offers an inclusive perspective on loss
and grief, exploring recent research, clinical applications, and
current thinking on non-death losses and the unique features of the
grieving process that accompany them. The book places an
overarching focus on the losses that we encounter in everyday life,
and the role of these loss experiences in shaping us as we continue
living. A main emphasis is the importance of having words to
accurately express these 'living losses', such as loss of
communication with a loved one due to disease or trauma, which are
often not acknowledged for the depth of their impact. Chapters
showcase a wide range of contributions from international leaders
in the field and explore individual perspectives on loss as well as
experiences that are more interpersonal and sociopolitical in
nature. Illustrated by case studies and clinical examples
throughout, this is a highly relevant text for clinicians looking
to enhance their support of those living with ongoing loss and
grief.

With its vast population and resources, China has far more
potential to become a major world power than any other Third World
