This special issue of Military Psychology reports behavioral,
pharmacological, and toxicological science research on military
performance as it is affected by chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and
their pharmacological countermeasures. The papers in this issue are
a diverse assembly; some very pharmacological in orientation,
others driven by behavioral neuroscience. The unifying theme is the
psychological consequences or organic syndromes that may be
confused with consequences resulting from exposure to CWAs or use
of their medical countermeasures.
During the last half of the eighteenth century, sensibility and its
less celebrated corollary sense were subject to constant variation,
critique, and contestation in ways that raise profound questions
about the formation of moral identities and communities. Beyond
Sense and Sensibility addresses those questions. What authority
does reason retain as a moral faculty in an age of sensibility? How
reliable or desirable is feeling as a moral guide or a test of
character? How does such a focus contribute to moral isolation and
elitism or, conversely, social connectedness and inclusion? How can
we distinguish between that connectedness and a disciplinary
socialization? How do insensible processes contribute to our moral
formation and action? What alternatives lie beyond the
anthropomorphism implied by sense and sensibility? Drawing
extensively on philosophical thought from the eighteenth century as
well as conceptual frameworks developed in the twenty-first
century, this volume of essays examines moral formation represented
in or implicitly produced by a range of texts, including Boswell's
literary criticism, Fergusson's poetry, Burney's novels,
Doddridge's biography, Smollett's novels, Charlotte Smith's
children's books, Johnson's essays, Gibbon's history, and
Wordsworth's poetry. The distinctive conceptual and textual breadth
of Beyond Sense and Sensibility yields a rich reassessment and
augmentation of the two perspectives summarized by the terms sense
and sensibility in later eighteenth-century Britain.
Though many analyses of the 2012 presidential election have
emerged, none can match this collection's depth, diversity, or
ability to critically and soundly argue where American politics
will go from this point forward. This volume includes some of the
most recognized scholars in the field and innovative younger
scholars who provide a fresh perspective on the election. It is a
diverse and award winning group, including established and
respected names in presidency studies, political psychology, and
election forecasting. The contributions address a wide range of
subjects, from the accuracy of pre-election forecasts, the effect
of the election on relations between Obama and congressional
leaders, the effect of race and religion on the outcome, the
consequences for the Republican Party, and prospects for leadership
in a second term. Rather than a simplistic account of what happened
during the campaign, the volume will contribute to our
understanding of significant questions about the presidency, voting
behavior, political parties, and elections.

"More than an account of Kuna ecology, this book argues for a positive environmental policy. The authors urge the Kuna to consider the potential ecological hazards of pursuing certain business interests, and remind their readers of the reliable, though delicate, relationship that exists between human society and the natural world"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
Service design is the activity of utilizing resources and people to
build and sustain services that not only meet customers' needs, but
also add that little bit of magic or true competitive advantage. In
an overcrowded marketplace there is often little opportunity to
break away from the pack and influence customer perceptions;
Customer-Driven Transformation demonstrates how to use design
thinking as a driver for organizational change to translate your
vision into compelling services that will delight your customers.
How did companies like Netflix, Airbnb and Uber revolutionize
industries and win loyal followers? They started here. By thinking
about what customers need foremost, you can reinvent your value
proposition and deliver services that work. Customer-Driven
Transformation shows how to instill an outside-in approach to
strategy, moving away from management that's technology, marketing
or resource optimization-led, towards being customer-inspired and
experimental with innovation. It is a practical guide for any
business to lead a transformational programme and use design
thinking to change how services are created, ensuring they are
expertly designed, elegant in use and advance in
customer-mindedness. With ground-breaking case studies from the
likes of E.On Energy, Hyundai Motor Company and Bupa, this
cutting-edge book will empower companies to take control of
customer experience and deliver long-lasting and impactful change.
Focusing on one of the hottest management topics, it is an
inspiring read for any business leader to understand how to
reinvent their value proposition, gain market share and win
customers.

Three-part documentary in which US scholar James Shapiro looks at
William Shakespeare's work during the reign of King James I,
focusing on the years between 1603-1613. The programme analyses
Shakespeare's plays, including 'King Lear', 'Macbeth' and 'The
Tempest', discussing how they reflect the cultural and politcal
events taking place in Britain during that time. The episodes are:
'Incertainties', 'Equivocation' and 'Legacy'.
In 1590 three hundred Scottish 'witches' were tried for plotting
the murder of their King, James VI of Scotland (soon to be James I
of England). James is known to have suffered from a morbid fear of
violent death, and the trial heightened his anxiety over this
apparently treasonous 'un-Christian' sect, and stimulated him to
study the whole subject of witchcraft. 'Daemonologie' is the result
of this royal research, detailing his opinions on the topic in the
form of a Socratic dialogue between the sceptic Philomathes and
witch-averse Epistemon, who reveals many aspects of witch-craft.
The book consists of three sections, on magic, on sorcery and
witchcraft, and on spirits and ghosts, and ends with a lurid
account of the North Berwick witch trials, based on the evidence of
Dr John Fian, the alleged head of the coven, whose 'confession' was
obtained with the aid of thumbscrews, the Boot, and by the ripping
out of his fingernails.
