The world and its people are in a precarious situation. After the
loss and carnage of the twentieth century there is prevailing mood
of uncertainty and paranoia, yet at the same time a denial of
tragedy, a salvation fantasy, an illusion that we will be saved.
Since dreams often reflect the social environment of the dreamer,
they thus prove to be a useful tool when examining the group
dynamics. Social Dreaming is the method of working with dreams that
are shared and associated within a gathering of people, coming
together for this purpose. Its focus is on the dream and not the
dreamer. How can this method help with today s zeitgeist? Can it be
used to not only help soothe individual souls but to also come up
with new ways of going forward? This work is a collaboration
between two different analytic traditions, produced in the spirit
of shared ideas, acknowledged differences and a mutual belief in
free association and the primacy of the dream. It will help explain
the ricochet of dreams and associations, recalled and echoed in the
spontaneity of the dream-telling."

Dreaming the Social uses social dreaming as a tool to explore
aspects of contemporary life and examine how we can reverse social
fragmentation and large-scale trauma. Since the attack on New York
on 9/11, the world has been balanced on the edge of potential
disaster, exacerbated in recent years by global warming, the Covid
pandemic and war in Ukraine. Since the first edition in 2009 these
national and global events have come to dominate our lives in
unforeseen ways. With this in mind, this new edition explores the
potential of social dreaming to help access things we know but are
unable to think, except through the complex activity of dreaming.
Based on several research studies, group sessions and mass dreaming
experiments, the book explores peoples’ experiences of dreaming
during times of change, transition and upheaval and discusses the
insights that these dreams offer. Dreaming the Social will be of
great interest to all professionals interested in dreams and the
power of social dreaming, including psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists, and clinical psychologists.

threat posed by religious conflict, we need new ways of thinking.

¡A explorar! is a 3-level Spanish course designed to meet the
requirements of secondary school curriculums throughout the
Caribbean. Written and developed in association with teachers and
consultants in the Caribbean, it is designed around topic-based
units so that language learning and skills development can be
taught in real-world contexts. The Student’s Books are highly
illustrated with a lively design and clear layout. They provide
comprehensive coverage of key vocabulary, grammar and functional
language which are delivered through topic-based units so that
language learning and skills development can be taught in
real-world contexts. Engaging and motivating activities feature
throughout, to develop and practice the four key language skills:
reading, writing, speaking and listening. There is continuous
reinforcement of language learned throughout the course, with
revision sections at regular intervals. With a strong cultural
focus throughout, the Español en acción spreads in every
unit offer stimulating, thought-provoking and enjoyable insights
into the culture and society of Spanish-speaking countries with
stimulating and thought-provoking insights into Hispanic societies
through the Español en acción spreads at the end of every unit.
The course uses Latin American Spanish vocabulary throughout, and
informative notes in the about variants found within Latin America
and the Caribbean are included in the Teacher’s Guides. Audio
files to support listening activities are available online through
the Collins website.
In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet
of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and
critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors
offer insights into their own work as well as providing an
accessible and passionate introduction to the most important poets
in our literature. The birds are gone to bed; the cows are still,
And sheep lie panting on each old mole hill, And underneath the
willow's grey-green bough -- Like toil a resting -- lies the fallow
plough. -- Hares at Play
Scientific communication is challenging. The subject matter is
complex and often requires a certain level of knowledge to
understand it correctly; describing hazard ratios, interpreting
Kaplan Meier curves and explaining confounding factors is different
from talking about a new car or clothing range. Processes, for
example in clinical trials, are laborious and tedious and knowing
how much of the detail to include and exclude requires judgement.
Conclusions are rarely clear cut making communicating statistical
risk and probability tough, especially to non-statisticians and
non-scientists such as journalists. Communicating Clearly about
Science and Medicine looks at these and many more challenges, then
introduces powerful techniques for overcoming them. It will help
you develop and deliver impactful presentations on medical and
scientific data and tell a clear, compelling story based on your
research findings. It will show you how to develop clear messages
and themes, while adhering to the advice attributed to Einstein:
'Make things as simple as possible...but no simpler.' John Clare
illustrates how to communicate clearly the risks and benefits
contained in a complex data set, and balance the hope and the hype.
He explains how to avoid the 'miracle cure' or 'killer drug'
headlines which are so common and teaches you how to combine the
accuracy of peer-to-peer reviewed science with the narrative skills
of journalism.
