Evolutionary Psychiatry challenges a medical model which has supplied few effective answers to long-standing conundrums. A comprehensive introduction to the new science of Darwinian Psychiatry, this second edition includes important fresh material on a number of disorders, along with an entirely new chapter on research. Anthony Stevens and John Price argue that psychiatric symptoms are manifestations of ancient adaptive strategies which are no longer necessarily appropriate but which can best be understood and treated in an evolutionary and developmental context. Particularly important are the Stevens and Price propose to account for the worldwide existence of mood disorders and schizophrenia, as well as offering solutions for such puzzles as paedophilia, sado masochism and the function of dreams. Readily accessible to both the specialist and non-specialist reader, Evolutionary Psychiatry describes in detail the disorders and conditions commonly encountered in psychiatric practice and shows how evolutionary theory can account for their biological origins and functional nature.

Racist abuse may at one time have been hurled across the sports
stadium or scrawled on a wall. But in today's social media world it
can be published to millions, from almost anywhere, in an instant.
Sport, Racism and Social Media provides the first significant,
academic account of how social media is shaping the nature of
racisms in sport. Among the questions it addresses are: How, and
why, is racism being expressed across different social media
platforms and sporting contexts? To what extent is social media
providing new platforms for traditional prejudices or actually
creating new forms of racism? How can campaigners, authorities and
individuals best challenge and counter these forms of racism?
Combining analysis of social media content with in-depth interviews
with athletes, fans, campaigners and officials, and including
extensive case studies of soccer, boxing, the NHL, the NBA, and
cricket, the book provides important new insights on a familiar but
ever changing story. It is essential reading for any student,
researcher, media professional, administrator or policy-maker with
an interest in sport, new media or the issue of racism in wider
society.

Beginning with a theoretical discussion of race, sport and
media, this book critically examines issues of race, racism and
sports journalism and offers practical advice on sports reporting,
including a discussion of guidelines for ethical journalism. In a
series of case studies, representations of race will be explored
through historical and contemporary analysis of international media
coverage, including online and digital platforms. The background
and impacts of these representations will also be discussed through
interviews with athletes and sports journalists.
Subjects covered include:
- cricket in the UK, Australian and Asian media, with particular
focus on Pakistan
- athletics and media representations of athletes, including a
study of the reporting of South African runner Caster Semenya
- football and the under-representation of British-Asians, with
an analysis of how race is constructed in the digital arena
- boxing with particular reference to Muhammad Ali, America and
Islam
- Formula One and analysis of the media reporting, international
spectator response and racism towards Lewis Hamilton, described in
the media as the first black driver.
Finally, the book will analyse the make-up of sports journalism,
examining the causes and consequences of a lack of diversity within
the profession.
‘In the Blink of an Eye’ is a compelling, poetically courageous
collection of poems which evokes a long, and intensely felt,
experience of life. It is full of gems of expression, emotion and
thought. John wrote most of the poems in his middle thirties during
a challenging time in his life. The only exception was the Preface
which came to him in 2001 while he was in Australia. As John says:
‘I see the Preface as being inspired by what I call the
“Crocodile Dundee” philosophy of the comparative insignificance
of humans compared to the everlasting environment we live in.’

In his forty-five-year career, William Wyler not only traversed the
silent and the sound eras, but also connected classic Hollywood to
"new Hollywood." The range of his films also spans a wide spectrum
of genres: from westerns to adaptations of classic literature, from
crime thrillers to rom-coms, and from controversial topics to
musicals. His three Oscars for Best Director are an achievement
surpassed only by John Ford. His life experience as one of
Hollywood's early immigrant artists also speaks to the foreign
influence on classic Hollywood. Yet despite his awards and
commercial success, artistic recognition has mostly eluded Wyler.
This volume of the ReFocus series attempts to analyze this Wyler
paradox and also seeks to contextualize and theorize selections
from Wyler's canon and his relationship to American cinematic
history and American culture. This collection has gathered
contributions from international authors from extremely diverse
backgrounds, and therefore differing perspectives on Wyler and his
work.
