Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
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
available for future generations to enjoy.

This comprehensive handbook synthesizes the often-fractured
relationship between the study of biology and the study of society.
Bringing together a compelling array of interdisciplinary
contributions, the authors demonstrate how nuanced attention to
both the biological and social sciences opens up novel perspectives
upon some of the most significant sociological, anthropological,
philosophical and biological questions of our era. The six sections
cover topics ranging from genomics and epigenetics, to neuroscience
and psychology to social epidemiology and medicine. The authors
collaboratively present state-of-the-art research and perspectives
in some of the most intriguing areas of what can be called
biosocial and biocultural approaches, demonstrating how quickly we
are moving beyond the acrimonious debates that characterized the
border between biology and society for most of the twentieth
century. This landmark volume will be an extremely valuable
resource for scholars and practitioners in all areas of the social
and biological sciences. The chapter 'Ten Theses on the Subject of
Biology and Politics: Conceptual, Methodological, and Biopolitical
Considerations' is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via
link.springer.com. Versions of the chapters 'The Transcendence of
the Social', 'Scrutinizing the Epigenetics Revolution', 'Species of
Biocapital, 2008, and Speciating Biocapital, 2017' and
'Experimental Entanglements: Social Science and Neuroscience Beyond
Interdisciplinarity' are available open access via third parties.

Joint Action: Essays in honour of John Shotter brings together a
cross-disciplinary group of fifteen respected international
scholars to explain the relevance of John Shotter's work to
emerging concerns in twenty-first century social science. Shotter's
work extends over forty years and continues to challenge
conventional scientific thinking across a range of topics. The
disciplines and practices that Shotter's work has informed are well
established throughout the English-speaking world. This is the
first publication to examine the importance of his influence in
contemporary social sciences and it includes authoritative
discussions on topics such as social constructionism, democratic
practice, organisational change, the affective turn and human
relations. The geographical diversity and disciplinary breadth of
scholarly contributions imbues the book with international scope
and reach. Joint Action presents a contemporary reflection on
Shotter's work that demonstrates its influence across a range of
substantive topics and practical endeavours and within disciplines
including management studies and philosophy as well as psychology.
As such, it will appeal to researchers and postgraduate students of
social sciences and related disciplines, as well as to those who
have heard of Shotter's work and want to know more about its
utility and value in relation to their own research or practice.

Before we are anything else, we are feeling bodies. In fact,
feelings are an important part of every experience we ever have.
This book explains what feelings are, describes their relationship
with other psychological phenomena, and shows how their analysis
transforms understandings of some key topics related to health and
illness.
Is depression simply the result of chemical imbalances, or
Schizophrenia a wholly biological disorder? What role do the
broader circumstances of an individual's social, cultural and
heuristic world play in the wider scheme of their psychological
wellbeing? In this ground-breaking and highly innovative text,
Cromby et al deliver an introduction to the the biopsychosocial
paradigm for understanding and treating psychological distress,
taking into consideration the wider contexts that engender the
onset of mental illness and critiquing the limitations in the sole
use of the biomedical model in psychological practice. Rather than
biologically determined or clinically measurable, readers are
encouraged to consider mental illness as a subjective experience
that is expressed according to the individual experiences of the
sufferer rather than the rigidity of diagnostic categories.
Similarly, approaches to recovery expand beyond psychiatric
medication to consider the fundamental function of methods such as
psychotherapy, community psychology and service-user movements in
the recovery process. Offering a holistic account of the experience
of psychological distress, this text draws upon not only
statistical evidence but places an integral emphasis on the
service-user experience; anecdotal accounts of which feature
throughout in order to provide readers with the perspective of the
mental health sufferer. Taking an integrative approach to the
psychology of mental health, the authors draw from a wealth of
experience, examples and approaches to present this
student-friendly and engaging text. This is core reading for anyone
serious about understanding mental health issues and is suitable
for undergraduate students taking introductory courses in
psychology and abnormal psychology.
