This book presents the application of the model of cognitive
behavioural intervention in the practice of physiotherapy and
occupational therapy addressing a range of clinical problems with
contributions from professionals who are specialists in their
field. The purpose of the book is to increase knowledge and
awareness of how CBT can be applied within a theoretical framework
from which physiotherapists and occupational therapists work. The
book explains the psychological model and provides a rationale for
applying CBT as a tool to strengthen physiotherapy and occupational
therapy interventions. By bringing new knowledge to the practice of
physiotherapists and occupational therapists in regard to CBT
approaches opens up new options in relation to the management of
specific conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety, fibromyalgia and
other specialist areas. Case studies are integral to this book,
highlighting the application of CBT, outlining the strategies, and
illustrating the outcomes and boundaries of treatment. This is not
a book for experts in CBT: focusing on physiotherapy and
occupational therapy professions, Donaghy and her co-authors link
models of current practice with CBT interventions, giving
parameters an integrated practice. . case studies . evidence-based

To love and be loved is arguably one of the most powerful and
fundamental driving forces sustaining self-esteem and self-identity
throughout the life course. Need for reciprocal loving does not
change as we grow older, despite failures of health, loss of a
partner, late divorce, and alterations of personality due to the
aging process. However, most studies of human sexuality have
ignored the problems and developing patterns of older adults
entering into new partnerships. To fill this gap, Intimacy in Later
Life brings together a wide range of distinguished international
scholars to address this neglected research area.
"Medievalism, Multilingualism, and Chaucer" examines
multilingual identity in the writing of Gower, Langland, and
Chaucer. Mary Catherine Davidson traces monolingual habits of
inquiry to nineteenth-century attitudes toward French, which had
first influenced popular constructions of medieval English in such
historical novels as Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe." In re-reading
medieval traditions in the origins of English from Geoffrey of
Monmouth, this book describes how multilingual practices reflected
attitudes toward English in the age of Chaucer.
Our amorous and erotic experiences do not simply bring us pleasure;
they shape our very identities, our ways of relating to ourselves,
each other and our shared world. This volume challenges some of our
most prevalent assumptions relating to identity, the body,
monogamy, libido, sexual identity, seduction, fidelity, orgasm, and
more. In twelve original and philosophically thought-provoking
essays, the authors reflect on the broader meanings of love and
sex: what their shifting historical meanings entail for us in the
present; how they are constrained by social conventions; the
ambiguous juxtaposition of agency and passivity that they reveal;
how they shape and are formed by political institutions; the
opportunities they present to resist the confines of gender and
sexual orientation; how cultural artefacts can become incorporated
into the body; and how love and sex both form and justify our
ethical world views. Ideal for students both in philosophy and
gender studies, this highly readable book takes us to the very
heart of two of the most important dimensions of human experience
and meaning-making: to the seductive and alluring, confusing and
frustrating, realms of love and sex.

Muhammad bin Salman Al-Saud and Muhammad bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the
respective princely strongmen of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have
torn up the old rules. They have spurred game-changing economic
master plans, presided over vast anti-corruption crackdowns,
tackled entrenched religious forces, and overseen the mass arrest
of critics. In parallel, they also appear to have replaced the old
'sheikhly' consensus systems of their predecessors with something
more autocratic, more personalistic, and perhaps even analytically
distinct. These are the two wealthiest and most populous Gulf
monarchies, and increasingly important global powers--Saudi Arabia
is a G20 member, and the UAE will be the host of the World Expo in
2021-2022. Such sweeping changes to their statecraft and authority
structures could well end up having a direct impact, for better or
worse, on policies, economies and individual lives all around the
world. Christopher M. Davidson tests the hypothesis that Saudi
Arabia and the UAE are now effectively contemporary or even
'advanced' sultanates, and situates these influential states within
an international model of autocratic authoritarianism. Drawing on a
range of primary sources, including new interviews and surveys,
'From Sheikhs to Sultanism' puts forward an original, empirically
grounded interpretation of the rise of both MBS and MBZ.
The New Urban Agenda (NUA), adopted in 2016 at the United Nations
Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat
III) in Quito, Ecuador, represents a globally shared understanding
of the vital link between urbanization and a sustainable future. At
the heart of this new vision stand a myriad of legal challenges -
and opportunities - that must be confronted for the world to make
good on the NUA's promise. In response, this book, which
complements and expands on the editors' previous volumes on urban
law in this series, offers a constructive and critical evaluation
of the legal dimensions of the NUA. As the volume's authors make
clear, from natural disasters and resulting urban migration in
Honshu and Tacloban, to innovative collaborative governance in
Barcelona and Turin, to accessibility of public space for informal
workers in New Delhi and Accra, and power scales among Brazil's
metropolitan regions, there is a deep urgency for thoughtful
research to understand how law can be harnessed to advance the
NUA's global mission of sustainable urbanism. It thus creates a
provocative and academic dialogue about the legal effects of the
NUA, which will be of interest to academics and researchers with an
interest in urban studies.
The growing field of urban law demands a collaborative scholarly
focus on comparative and global perspectives. This volume offers
diverse insights into urban law, with emerging theories and
analyses of topics ranging from criminal reform and urban housing,
to social and economic inequality and financial crises, and
democratization and freedom for individual identity and space.
Particularly now, social, economic, and cultural issues must be
closely examined in conjunction with the rule of law not only to
address inadequate access to basic services, but also to construct
long-term plans for our cities and our world-a bright, safe future.
With distressing statistics about rising cost burdens, increasing
foreclosure rates, rising unemployment, falling wages, and
widespread homelessness, building affordable housing is one of our
most pressing social policy problems. Affordable Housing and
Public-Private Partnerships focuses attention on this critical
need, as leading experts on affordable housing law and policy come
together to address key issues of concern and to suggest
appropriate responses for future action. Focusing in particular on
how best to understand and implement the joint work of public and
private actors in housing, this book considers the real estate
aspects of affordable housing law and policy, access to housing,
housing finance and affordability, land use, housing regulation and
housing issues in a post-Katrina context. Filling a critical gap in
the scholarly literature available, this book will be of particular
interest to policy-makers, academics, lawyers and students of
housing, land use, real estate, property, community development and
urban planning

This book, the last one written by Piaget, presents a new line of
empirical studies based on a revised formulation of his theory of
the development of logical reasoning. The amended theory overcomes
many problems and criticisms of his earlier formulations by
providing a fresh explanation for the origin of mental operations
and mental organization based on the concept of meaning. It also
offers a more elegant vision of the continuity in mental
development from birth to adulthood. As the final revision of
Piaget's theory -- and one that opens up new areas of inquiry --
this book calls for a reinterpretation of his earlier work -- a
task which will occupy scholars for decades to come.

This volume explores how older people today think and behave in
relation to partner change. Contributors consider the choices and
constraints that influence decisions about new romantic
relationships after divorce or the death of a spouse, along with
how these differ with respect to age, gender, and culture. The
authors discuss the considerable social variety to be found between
"permissive" and morally conservative societies and cultural
milieux, as well as how standards of sexual behavior have changed
over time. Contributions include: Kate Davidson and Graham Fennell,
"New Intimate Relationships in Later Life," Sofie Ghazanfareeon
Karlsson and Klas Borell, "Intimacy and Autonomy, Gender and
Ageing: Living Apart Together," Deborah Carr and Rebecca Utz,

Comparative Literature and Classical Persian Poetics applies
comparative literary approaches to classical Persian traditions of
composing and performing poetry and song. Olga M. Davidson focuses
on epic, especially the classical epic Shahnama, composed in the
early eleventh century ce by the poet Ferdowsi, and on the
relationship of this epic to other genres that are found embedded
in it. Included among these other genres are forms of verbal art
that were originally composed without the aid of writing, such as
women's laments. Davidson explores the many ways in which the epic
Shahnama incorporates oral poetic traditions in general. Surveying
the current state of the art in oral poetic studies, she
concentrates on applications of these studies to classical Persian
prose as well as poetry. Of special interest is her critical
analysis of both modern and ancient claims about the turning of
prose into poetry. This second edition of the book contains an
added chapter about "live" performances of the epic Shahnama.

In new readings of medieval language attitudes and identities, this
book concludes that multilingualism informed masculinist
discourses, which were aligned against the vernacular sentiment
traditionally attributed to Langland and Chaucer.
The 2020 presidential election was one of the most historic,
contested, and contentious in American history. Joe Biden was the
oldest person elected President. Kamala Harris was the first female
elected Vice President, and the first Vice President of Black and
Asian descent. The primaries, campaigns, and elections were held
for the first time amid an international and national pandemic.
Despite this, voter turnout was the highest in 120 years. Donald
Trump was the first president in modern times refusing to concede,
leading to numerous lawsuits over the election process and results,
although election litigation and state officials found no evidence
of large-scale voter fraud. Nevertheless, continued claims of a
stolen election led to a riotous mob occupation of the United
States Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to overturn the
Electoral College results. The Atlas of the 2020 Elections explains
the results of the 2020 elections with a series of unique maps
unleashing the illustrative power of cartography and the
explanatory power of history and political geography. The
contributors—a balanced mix of geographers, political scientists,
and historians—provide a comprehensive examination of the
election process from the primary campaigns through the general
election and post-election events. In addition to the presidential
election, the Atlas has full coverage of other important races,
including congressional races, state races, and local and state
referenda. Illustrated with more than 150 meticulously drawn
full-color maps and numerous graphs and tables, the Atlas will be
an essential reference and a fascinating resource for scholars,
teachers, students, pundits, campaign staff, and political junkies
alike, all who care about the American democratic process.
