The biblical psalms are perhaps the most commented-upon texts in
human history. They are at once deeply alluring and deeply
troubling. In this addition to the acclaimed Brazos Theological
Commentary on the Bible, a highly respected scholar offers a
theological reading of Psalms 1-50, exploring the various voices in
the poems to discern the conversation they engage about God,
suffering, and hope as well as ways of community belonging. The
commentary examines the context of the psalms as worship--tending
to both their original setting and their subsequent Jewish and
Christian appropriation--and explores the psychological dynamics
facing the speaker. Foreword by William P. Brown.

First published in 1984, Industrial Relations in the Future
highlights probable developments in Britain's system of industrial
relations into the 1990s. It also provides a basis for further and
detailed analysis and debate of issues central to the nation's
future. Written by distinguished scholars in their respective
fields, the three main sections give reviews from three contrasting
traditions- mainstream industrial relations, industrial sociology
and management, and labour economics. These accounts are highly
complementary in the ways in which, in each and every case, issues
of collective bargaining, managerial strategy and union response,
and the behaviour of governments are all set against a broad
backcloth of economic, political, and social changes. The authors
see the ultimate outcome as depending greatly on the policies and
types of action of organised labour, managements and governments,
and possibly of wider social movements as well. This book will be
an essential read for scholars and researchers of labour economics,
industrial sociology, economics, and public policy.

Drawing on a variety of popular films, including Avatar, Enter the
Void, Fight Club, The Matrix, Speed Racer, X-Men and War of the
Worlds, Supercinema studies the ways in which digital special
effects and editing techniques require a new theoretical framework
in order to be properly understood. Here William Brown proposes
that while analogue cinema often tried to hide the technological
limitations of its creation through ingenious methods, digital
cinema hides its technological omnipotence through the use of
continued conventions more suited to analogue cinema, in a way that
is analogous to that of Superman hiding his powers behind the
persona of Clark Kent. Locating itself on the cusp of film theory,
film-philosophy and cognitive approaches to cinema, Supercinema
also looks at the relationship between the spectator and film that
utilizes digital technology to maximum, 'supercinematic' effect.

Here be Kraken! The Squid Cinema From Hell draws upon writers like
Vilem Flusser, Donna J. Haraway, Graham Harman and Eugene Thacker
to offer up a critical analysis of cephalopods and other tentacular
creatures in contemporary media, while also speculating that
digital media might themselves constitute a weird, intelligent
alien. If this were not enough to shiver ye timbers, the book
engages with contemporary discourses of posthumanism, speculative
realism, object-oriented ontology and animal studies to suggest
that humans are the products of media rather than media being the
products of humans. Including case studies of films by Denis
Villeneuve, Park Chan-wook and Celine Sciamma, The Squid Cinema
From Hell also provides a daring engagement with various media
beyond cinema, including literature, music videos, 4DX,
advertising, websites, YouTube, Artificial Intelligence and more.
Zounds! This unique and Lovecraftian book will change the way you
think about, and with, our contemporary, media-saturated world. For
as we contemplate the abyss, the abyss looks back at us - and
chthulumedia, or media at the end of human times, begin to emerge.

This book analyses the rapidly increasing role of African states,
leaders and other political actors in international politics in the
21st Century. In contrast to the conventional approach of studying
how external actors impacted on Africa's international relations,
this book seeks to open up a new approach, focusing on the impact
of African political actors on international politics. It does this
by analysing African agency - the degree to which African political
actors have room to manoeuvre within the international system and
exert influence internationally, and the uses they make of that
room for manoeuvre. Bringing together leading scholars from Africa
and Europe to explore the role and conception of African Agency,
this book addresses a wide range of issues, from relations with
western and non-western donors, Africa's role in the UN and World
Trade Organisation, negotiations over climate change, trade
agreements with the European Union, regional diplomatic strategies,
the character and extent of African state agency, and agency within
corporate social responsibility initiatives. African Agency in
International Politics will be of interest to scholars and students
of Africa's international relations, African politics, development,
geography, diplomacy, trade, the environment, political science and
security studies.

A college is only as strong as its board of trustees. While the
media frequently report on threats facing colleges and
universities, no sector of higher education is in more danger than
private colleges with small endowments and low enrollments.
Numerous small private liberal arts colleges could benefit from
careful consideration of characteristics and practices of
successful trusteeship. In How Boards Lead Small Colleges, Alice
Lee Williams Brown and Elizabeth Richmond Hayford focus on small
colleges-the kind that seldom attract the attention of researchers.
Integrating case studies with theoretical analyses of college
governance, they explain the basic responsibilities of boards while
demonstrating how some develop practices that fulfill these
responsibilities more effectively than others. The book emphasizes
strategic planning and collaboration between the board and central
administration-advice useful to those governing colleges and
universities of all sizes and strengths. For decades, the authors
led consortia of small colleges and served on boards of multiple
nonprofit organizations. Here, they interview trustees and
presidents at dozens of small colleges across multiple states to
identify the role governing boards play in building strong private
colleges. Encouraging presidents to consider new approaches for
working with their boards based on mutual dedication to
strengthening institutions, Brown and Hayford also urge trustees to
challenge new thinking from their presidents without interfering in
internal operations. How Boards Lead Small Colleges is designed to
appeal to anyone with a special interest in the future of small
private colleges, which play a critical role in the world of higher
education.
Navigating from the White Anthropocene to the Black
Chthulucene radically re-interprets Buster Keaton's iconic
1924 film, The Navigator, through the combined lenses of
posthumanism and critical race theory. This book deconstructs the
film's underlying anti-Blackness and anti-Indigeneity while
exposing the unthinking whiteness of theorists and philosophers,
including Gilles Deleuze, who have given Keaton's work pride of
place in the history of cinema. Through its daring and provocative
analysis of Keaton's classic, Navigating from the White
Anthropocene to the Black Chthulucene invites us to consider
cinema itself, at least in its classical narrative form, as a tool
for constructing and maintaining white supremacy while building the
conceptual tools for a world beyond whiteness.
