Recent years have witnessed a rapid rise in engagement with emotion
and affect across a broad range of disciplines in the humanities
and social sciences, with geographers among others making a
significant contribution by examining the emotional intersections
between people and places. Building on the achievements of
Emotional Geographies (2005), the editors have brought together
leading scholars such as Nigel Thrift, Alphonso Lingis and Frances
Dyson as well as young, up and coming academics from a diverse
range of disciplines to investigate feelings and affect in various
spatial and social contexts, environments and landscapes. The book
is divided into five sections covering the themes of remembering,
understanding, mourning, belonging, and enchanting.
Bringing together well-established interdisciplinary scholars -
including geographers Phil Hubbard, Chris Philo and Hester Parr,
and sociologists Jenny Hockey, Mike Hepworth and John Urry - and a
new generation of researchers, this volume presents a wide range of
innovative studies of fundamentally important questions of emotion.
Following an overarching introduction, three interlinked sections
elaborate key intersections between emotions and spatial concepts,
on which each chapter offers a particular take informed by
substantive research. At the heart of the collection lies a
commitment to convey how emotions always spill over from one domain
to another, as well as to illuminate the multiplicity of spaces
that produce and are produced by emotional life. The book
demonstrates the richness that an interdisciplinary engagement with
the emotionality of socio-spatial life generates.

Despite recent estimates that there are currently 10 million people
in the UK suffering from phobias, there is a substantial and
conspicuous gap in existing academic literature and research on
this topic. This book addresses this gap in relation to geography
literature, but also extending beyond this field to connect with a
wide range of academics, health professionals and phobic 'others'
whose ideas are (re)formed by fear. In doing so, it provides
non-clinical, specifically geographical insights into phobia, of
relevance for its sufferers and expands human geographical
understandings of the relations between gender, embodiment, space
and mental health, via a study of agoraphobia. This book argues
that a critical geographic perspective is better placed to take
account of the importance of wider social contexts and relations,
and can give a fully spatialised account of the disorder more
faithful to the way sufferers actually describe their experiences.
By drawing attention to some of the more unusual ways that people
relate to each other, and to their environments, we can illuminate
some ordinarily taken for granted aspects of personal geographies.

Research about people always makes assumptions about the nature of
humans as subjects. This collaboration by a group of feminist
researchers looks at subjectivity in relation to researchers, the
researched, and audiences, as well as at the connections between
subjectivity and knowledge. The authors argue that subjectivity is
spatialized in embodied, multiple, and fractured ways, challenging
the dominant notions of the rational, 'bounded' subject. A highly
original contribution to feminist geography, this book is equally
relevant to social science debates about using qualitative
methodologies and to ongoing discussions on the ethics of social
research.
Since first being identified as a distinct psychiatric disorder in
1943, autism has been steeped in contestation and controversy.
Present-day skirmishes over the potential causes of autism, how or
even if it should be treated, and the place of Asperger's syndrome
on the autism spectrum are the subjects of intense debate in the
research community, in the media, and among those with autism and
their families. Bringing together innovative work on autism by
international scholars in the social sciences and humanities,
Worlds of Autism boldly challenges the deficit narrative prevalent
in both popular and scientific accounts of autism spectrum
disorders, instead situating autism within an abilities framework
that respects the complex personhood of individuals with autism. A
major contribution to the emerging, interdisciplinary field of
critical autism studies, this book is methodologically and
conceptually broad. Its authors explore the philosophical questions
raised by autism, such as how it complicates neurotypical
understandings of personhood; grapple with the politics that inform
autism research, treatment, and care; investigate the diagnosis of
autism and the recognition of difference; and assess
representations of autism and stories told by and about those with
autism. From empathy, social circles, and Internet communities to
biopolitics, genetics, and diagnoses, Worlds of Autism features a
range of perspectives on autistic subjectivities and the politics
of cognitive difference, confronting society's assumptions about
those with autism and the characterization of autism as a
disability. Contributors: Dana Lee Baker, Washington State U;

In the sequel to "Olivia's Favorites the outstanding graduates of
1898 pursue their careers in Moss Grove and abroad in Paris, France
where sucess doesn't come easily for the movie-makers. However,
Mayfred is blossoming into an accomplished actor. Although
Bartholomew (Beebee) Brantley Thomas finds an angel, Cosmos Deary,
to finance their productions, his presence isn't welcomed by
everyone. The group disbands and four return to Pennsylvania on the
Titanic. Their world is further upset by World War I and the flu
pandemic, and personal tragedies change them, as well as their home
town. Olivia remains a steadying influence upon her favorite
students, but her main occupation is caring for her family and
helping her husband Gustav to become an important man. His
feistiness rears up when the departing railroad threatens isolation
of the city. It's a fight Gustav relishes, as he stays true to his
convictions with help from Ardith, the journalist, who has her own
struggle to hide her child from anyone who will take him from her.
Truly, Moss Grove, affected by troubled times, takes on a different
nature, but to this group of friends it remains their anchor.
