This edited volume seeks to answer the question, "What does it mean
to be a critical multimodal scholar in educational spaces?" Toward
Critical Multimodality highlights how choices made throughout
multimodal design and research processes are critically-oriented
and inextricably linked to power. We show how social semiotics and
multimodality inform engagement with criticality in educational
spaces through questioning dominant narratives (e.g., white,
cisheteropatriarchal, ableist, classist perspectives), exploring
relationships between selves and space, problematizing and
reimagining educational practices, and dreaming of educational
futures that are just, anti-oppressive, and with room for all to
thrive while learning. These chapters demonstrate how studying
multiple modalities in interaction (e.g., image, writing, color,
spatial layout, gaze, proxemics, gestures) can reveal how power
operates, provide students with opportunities to explore themselves
and their identities with respect to power, and provide a vehicle
for scholars to disrupt and transform oppressive educational
practices. Furthermore, multiple chapters show alternative ways to
display, construct and share knowledge as transformative
pedagogical practice in learning environments. We reframe social
semiotics and multimodality as an integral part of decentering
dominant ideas of power and what "counts" as purposeful meaning
making by highlighting how criticality and multimodality integrate
theoretically and methodologically.

Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In
draws parallels between two of the most significant practitioners
in the history of photography, presenting fresh research, rare
vintage prints, and previously unseen archival works. 'I feel that
photographs can either document and record reality or they can
offer images as an alternative to everyday life: places for the
viewer to dream in.' – Francesca Woodman, 1980 Living and working
over a century apart, Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) and
Francesca Woodman (1958–1981) experienced very different ways of
making and understanding photographs. Francesca Woodman and Julia
Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In accompanies the exhibition
of the same name opening at the National Portrait Gallery, London,
in March 2024. Spanning the careers of both artists, the
beautifully illustrated catalogue includes their best-known
photographs as well as less familiar images. The exhibition works
are arranged into eight thematic sections with feature essays,
offering an accessible, engaging opportunity to consider both
artists in a new light. This publication presents the artists’
exploration of portraiture as a ‘dream space’. It makes new
connections between their work, which pushed the boundaries of the
photographic medium and experimented with ideas of beauty,
symbolism, transformation and storytelling to produce some of art
history’s most compelling and admired photographs. Image caption:

This volume addresses the engagement between science and society
from multiple viewpoints. At a time when trust in experts is being
questioned, misinformation is rife and scientific and technological
development show growing social impact, the volume examines the
challenges in involving the public in scientific debates and
decisions. It takes into account societal needs and concerns in
research, and analyses the interface between the roles of
institutions and individuals. From environmental challenges to
science communication, participatory technological design to animal
experimentation, and transdisciplinarity to norms and values in
science, the volume brings together research on areas in which
scientists and citizens interact, across diverse, often
understudied, socio-cultural contexts in Europe. It encompasses the
natural sciences, engineering and the social sciences, and the
chapters follow diverse theoretical frameworks and methodologies,
including both quantitative and qualitative approaches. This volume
contributes not just to scholarly knowledge on the topic of science
and society relations, but also provides useful information for
students, policy makers, journalists, and STEM (science,
technology, engineering and mathematics) researchers keen on
engaging with their publics and conducting responsible research and
innovation.
This book addresses the pressing challenges presented by the
proliferation of international surrogacy arrangements. The book is
divided into three parts. Part 1 contains National Reports on
domestic approaches to surrogacy from Argentina, Australia,
Belgium, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece,
Guatemala, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands,
New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Ukraine, United Kingdom,
United States and Venezuela. The reports are written by domestic
specialists, each demonstrating the difficult and urgent problems
arising in many States as a result of international surrogacy
arrangements. These National Reports not only provide the backdrop
to the authors' proposed model regulation appearing in Part 3, but
serve as a key resource for scrutinising the most worrying
incompatibilities in national laws on surrogacy. Part 2 of the book
contains two contributions that provide international perspectives
on cross-border surrogacy such as the 'human rights' perspective.
Part 3 contains a General Report, which consists of an analysis of
the National Reports appearing in Part 1, together with a proposed
model of regulation of international surrogacy arrangements at the
international level written by the two co-editors, Paul Beaumont
and Katarina Trimmings. The research undertaken by Katarina
Trimmings and Paul Beaumont from 2010 to 2012 was funded by the
Nuffield Foundation.
This book analyses the conceptualization of psychopathic
personality disorder for criminal/forensic populations and examines
in depth the emerging phenomenon of the 'corporate psychopath'. In
doing so its authors expose the paradoxical nature of the disorder:
while it is frequently associated with antisocial, criminal and
predatory behaviour, more recent studies have highlighted examples
of creative, visionary and inspiring leaders who are also found to
present a high degree of psychopathy. They focus on the nature,
behaviours and consequences of psychopathy in executives and across
the organization, offering an important contribution to the
emerging body of research on psychopathy and other problematic
personality constructs in the workplace. The book will appeal to
scholars, students and professionals across the discipline, and
particularly to those working in workplace, forensic and
personality psychology.
This edited collection provides a comprehensive geographic and
chronological overview of the decentralisation processes in the
successor states of former Yugoslavia and Albania during their
transition and EU integration years, from 1990 until 2016. These
countries present a unique laboratory for the analysis of economic,
social and political change, having traversed armed conflicts,
dramatic economic and political changes, and EU pre-accession
processes involving deep institutional reform. They have also
endured the Eurozone crisis, which has led to high levels of
unemployment, wide fiscal gaps and dangerously high levels of
indebtedness. Observing the quarter century-long transition from
socialism to capitalism through the prism of decentralisation sheds
new light on studying the political economy of the region and the
current status of the individual countries in terms of economic
development and their EU integration progress. The contributors
enrich the wider literature on fiscal decentralisation in
transition countries by exploring several broad questions on
democratisation, the political economy of post-communist
transition, the role of external actors in policy transfer and the
issue of financial stability in the post-crisis period.
Consisting of 12 chapters, the book presents the rise and
development of environmentalism, environmental history as a
discipline, and the history of environmental movements in the
Central and South Eastern European region from an international
point of view. The chapters-written by scholars from Italy,
Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Greece and
Turkey-cover a wide range of topics including the creation of
protected areas, increasing environmental consciousness, the
evolution of humanity's relationship toward the environment, and
perceptions of environmentalism by different disciplines. This
international approach highlights the region's complex development
from the end of the eighteenth century through the twentieth
century, with its unique blend of traditions. Three historically
different traditions-the Habsburg, Ottoman and Venetian-converge in
Central and South Eastern Europe, and this book emphasizes the
subtleties of these sometimes intertwined traditions. The focus of
the book varies according to both the different geographical
environments characteristic of the region and the protagonists who
actively participated in changing relationships toward the
environment. However, what does not vary and is common to all the
chapters is the historical approach, since the process has
continuity, which the book accentuates. In geographical terms, the
region that is the focus of the book, Central and South Eastern
Europe, is the contact zone of the Alps, Danube, Adriatic and
partially the North Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Throughout history,
it was also the contact zone of the Habsburg, Ottoman and Venetian
traditions. Those realities have resulted in a unique blending and
intertwining of traditions and, therefore, relationships with and
perceptions of the environment.
Karst aquifers are important sources of drinking water worldwide.
This volume presents a discussion of the current state of knowledge
on karst science, advances in karst mapping and karst aquifer
monitoring technologies, case studies of karst aquifer assessment,
and regulatory perspectives on land use and water management in
karst environments. It offers valuable reference material for
researchers involved in karst science and environmental studies, as
well as a guide for experts at governmental agencies, scientists,
engineers and other professionals involved in karst aquifer
protection and the design of land and water management systems in
karst areas around the globe.

Recipes include classic bakes like super-moist chocolate cake, caramel apple pie and chocolate chip cookies, the softest, chewiest bread, including crusty artisan loaves, baguettes, brioche burger buns and soda bread, and mouth-watering showstoppers like toasted marshmallow brownies, coffee cream puffs and strawberries + cream tart.
Can it be argued that there exists a concept of Nordic citizenship,
founded on inter-Nordic cooperation and its relationship with EU
law and EEA law? Researchers from all five Nordic States (Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) explore the tensions, gaps,
and overlaps arising from the interplay of EU citizenship, EEA law,
and the Nordic initiatives that aim to facilitate cross-border
mobility of persons in the region. The analysis takes a dual
approach. Firstly, it tracks the legal development of nationality
law in Nordic states. Secondly, it sets out the rights of residence
and access to social rights that follow from the three different
regimes. It asks if the Nordic States, through their regional
cooperation, are 'going beyond' EU free movement law, making
naturalisation to a citizenship in a Nordic state particularly
attractive. This important new work gives a unique perspective on
EU citizenship and free movement law.
