Theories of Emotion is a philosophical introduction to the most
influential theories of emotion of the past 60 years in philosophy,
psychology, and biology. This multi-disciplinary approach provides
the reader with a one-stop shop for encountering the key debates
and cutting-edge ideas in what is becoming a central focus of
contemporary thought. An introductory chapter on definitions of
emotion is followed by three main sections on the way emotions are
expressed, subjectively experienced, and related to action and
motivation. This accessible but probing approach integrates
philosophical analysis with innovative research in psychology and
cognitive science, contextualizing current debates in the history
of ideas from Darwin to pragmatism. Each section is introduced by a
detailed illustration of a foundational thinker's work on emotion
(Charles Darwin, William James, and John Dewey, respectively),
showing how their insights and discoveries have shaped current
views and suggesting ways in which they might still enrich
contemporary approaches.
This book charts the evolution of EU law (both internal market and
institutional law) through the jurisprudence of one of its leading
jurists. Few have as close an eye-witness view of the evolution of
European Union law as judges at the ECJ. They not only observe,
however, but actively work towards its development. This collection
assesses the momentous contribution to European Union law made by
José LuÃs da Cruz Vilaça. Taking those areas of law which were
directly shaped by his judgments (institutional law/internal
market/free movement of persons and judicial review), leading
scholars assess his legacy. Through this prism, the story of EU law
can be charted.

From the author of Elena Knows, finalist for the 2022 International
Booker Prize 20 years after a shocking accident, Mary Lohan returns
to the Buenos Aires suburb she escaped in a fugue of guilt and
isolation. She is not the same—not her name or voice, not even
the color of her eyes. The neighborhood looks different too, but
she’s still the same woman and it’s still the same place, and
as the past erupts into view, they slowly collide. A Little
Luck is the story about the debilitating weight of lies, the messy
line between bravery and cowardice, and the tragedies, big and
small, that can ripple out from a single decisive event. In a place
she had determined to forget forever, both anticipated encounters
and unanticipated revelations show her, and us, that sometimes life
is neither fate nor chance: perhaps it’s nothing more than a
little luck.
Secondary Findings in Genomic Research offers a single, highly
accessible resource on interpreting, managing and disclosing
secondary findings in genomic research. With chapters written by
experts in the field, this book is the first to concisely explain
the ethical and practical issues raised by secondary genomics
findings for a multi and interdisciplinary audience of genomic
researchers, translational scientists, clinicians, medical
students, genetic counselors, ethicists, legal experts and law
students, public policy specialists and regulators. Contributors
from Europe, North America, and Asia effectively synthesize
perspectives from a spectrum of different scientific, societal, and
global contexts, and offer pragmatic approaches to a range of
topics, including oversight, governance and policy surrounding
secondary genomic results, criteria for identifying results for
return, communication and consent, stakeholders' attitudes and
perspectives, disclosing results, and clinical, patient-centered
protocols.
This is a perfect first-facts book about Monet, telling the story
of the artist and his work through the famous garden at Giverny
that so inspired him. Monet's lavish paintings are re-imagined in
zesty, energetic and amusing ways with illustrations that younger
readers will find amusing and engaging. They tell the story of
Monet and his garden: his arrival; the country clothes he wore; the
bright Japanese prints he collected; how the Impressionist artist
painted outdoors, rain or shine; the thousands of seed-packets he
ordered; his gardeners, who have to leave Giverny to go to war.
Spread by spread the garden is explained and built up with Ascari's
and Valentinis's original illustrations, which take Monet's work as
their starting point and transform it in beautiful and unexpected
ways.
