    Build to Rent (BTR) is a form of residential tenure which first emerged in the United States, where it is known as Multifamily Housing. While it has been a mature asset in the United States for over a decade, it is relatively new to the UK and Ireland. The Rise of Build to Rent in the UK examines how this type of housing can play a key role in streamlining design and construction activity in a forward-facing manner which embraces climate change resilience and digital methods for delivery and management within the circular economy. The book examines the background of traditional UK home-owning and renting from which this new sector emerged, and charts BTR's momentum swing in 2016 and on-going expansion to the present day, describing the potential of the BTR model in terms of both economic and climate sustainability and evaluating the key ingredients to success. The Rise of Build to Rent in the UK concludes with five highly illustrated UK case studies which evaluate the practical deliverability of real world BTR projects. This book will be of interest to BTR operators and investors, constructors, housing associations, municipal authorities and students of architecture and urban planning.

  • - Technical, Psychological and Sociological Underpinnings
    av Anna Kosovac
    835,-

    This book presents a comprehensive view of the different theories of risk management in water, drawing on recent studies that serve to inform the way that practitioners consider their own risk practice.While it is commonplace to see risk described in technical and engineering terms when discussing water, this book argues that this is a flawed practice that results in poor decision-making, particularly where water intersects with social elements and the community. Challenging these traditionally held notions of risk, this book introduces the psychological and sociological underpinnings to water risk decisions. Using these, it argues for a broader view of risk-based thinking and proposes a number of evidence-based actions for policymakers to directly implement. Drawing on primary research conducted with water professionals across a variety of roles, this book highlights how the effect of psychological inputs, such as dread and reputation, can create barriers to implementing novel water solutions or projects. Through understanding the biases covered in this book, water practitioners can work to support processes that seek to encourage new and innovative methods in water management.This book will be of great interest to professionals working in water management, including those in government roles, planning departments and consultancies. It is also a great reference for students of both water resource management and risk studies more generally.

  • - Following Homo Sapiens Into Asia and Oceania
    av Peter Hiscock
    599 - 1 955,-

    In the Footsteps of Our Ancestors details, through archaeological analysis, the dispersal of our species, Homo sapiens, out of Africa and into Asia and Oceania.This book provides a comprehensive picture of early human migration and provides crucial information to our understanding of the global story of human evolution and cultural diversification.

In the absence of up-to-date treatments, this book provides the only comprehensive coverage of this important topic and is a major scientific contribution to archaeology and evolutionary anthropology that will help shape the direction of future research for years to come.In the Footsteps of Our Ancestors is an essential text for researchers and students of archaeology, anthropology and human evolution.

  • - An Institutional Perspective
    av Maciej J Grodzicki
    2 099,-

    Public policies are usually carefully designed to address a particular problem, but they are also shaped and influenced by the sociocultural heritage of a particular country. This volume explores the origins of economic and other public policies in Central and Eastern Europe. This region makes for a particularly interesting case because after going through a major system change - transitioning from a command economy into a market economy - many of the key policies were written anew. The contributors to this book look at key policy areas at the intersection of state and private sectors, including industrial, pension, energy and competition policies. The chapters examine key questions such as: how did these policies evolve from the time of transition to their final form? What were the main drivers of policy conduct and factors influencing major policy choices? How does the historical context impact contemporary policy space? Throughout the volume, an institutional approach is adopted, according to which policies are perceived as the outcome of top-down design, filtered through social institutions inherited from the past. With this approach, the book presents a long-running assessment, over 30 years, of policymaking in transition economies, which were subject to profound changes throughout the period.The book will be of interest to readers in institutional economics, policy studies, transition economies and the recent history of Eastern Europe.

    This study explores the interplay between money, status, politics and art collecting in the public and private lives of members of the wealthy trading classes in Brighton during the period of 1840-1914.Chapters focus on the collecting practices of five rich and upwardly mobile Victorians: William Coningham (1815-1884), Henry Hill (1813-1882), Henry Willett (1823-1905) and Harriet Trist (1816-1896) and her husband John Hamilton Trist (1812-1891). The book examines the relationship between the wealth of these would-be members of the Brighton bourgeoisie and the social and political meanings of their art collections paid for out of fortunes made from sugar, tailoring, beer and wine. It explores their luxury lifestyles and civic activities including the making of Brighton museum and art gallery, which reflected a paradoxical mix of patrician and liberal views, of aristocratic aspiration and radical rhetoric. It also highlights the centrality of the London art world to their collecting facilitated by the opening of the London to Brighton railway line in 1841.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies and British history.

  • - The Case of Poland
    av Anna Horodecka
    2 099,-

    In the face of climate change and resulting environmental and social crises, sustainable consumption has become a widely discussed issue and a key plank of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The majority of the sustainable consumption research uses the SDG framework, but this only serves to reinforce an individualistic, efficiency-based approach and it does not sufficiently cover the specific situation of transition economies. In contrast, this volume promotes a collective approach to sustainable consumption, and combines general theoretical issues with empirical examples from the Polish economy. The first part of the book presents a theoretical approach to collective consumption which has the core concepts of justice and human nature at its heart. This approach emphasises the role of collective rationality and categorises aspects of sustainable consumption as a common and public good. The second part investigates diversified aspects of sustainability, including socio-economic inequalities as barriers to sustainable consumption, consumer sovereignty in the context of current legal regulations, and the impact on employees of changes to the types and conditions of work. It also examines the sharing economy and the legal conditions of its development. Part three adopts a political perspective focusing on the state policies enhancing the role of investment in public goods, analyses photovoltaic programmes which promote prosumption and indicates challenges to sustainability faced by many countries such as the energy crisis, sustainable finance and cooperative platforms.This book will be of great interest to researchers and scholars interested in sustainability and consumption issues in economics, management, law, public administration and political science.

  • av Brooke Laufer
    529 - 1 889

    Using a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, Laufer examines the topic of maternal infanticide through the lens of Jungian theory and presents an integrated and forensic view of this issue as an aggregate of personal and political moments, and as a feminine and feminist outcry urging human evolution.The first part of the book will dissect the identity of the infanticidal mother and the Death Mother archetype, with the author providing firsthand accounts of patients that she has worked with in her professional career. The second part of the book focuses on interpreting that act of maternal infanticide, and these chapters will look to the construct of patriarchal Motherhood as a way of explaining the drive and actions of an infanticidal mother. The third and final section of the book takes the concept of evolution and transmutation a step further and addresses what is required in our modern state for the event of maternal infanticide.This is an important new book for Jungian and analytic clinicians and scholars with an interest in maternal archetypes, as well as psychologists and psychiatrists who specialise in perinatal mental health. It would also be appropriate for forensic psychologists and legal analysts, and academics and clinicians in the fields of women's health and studies.

  • av Ljubica Leone
    835,-

    This volume provides a concise overview of the diachronic development of composite predicates (CPs) in Late Modern English, offering clearer evidence of ongoing language change using data less readily available in other corpora.While previous scholarship on CPs exists from a synchronic perspective, this book is the first to focus exclusively on late mordern English with a diachronic approach to CPs, understood as phraseological verbs consisting of a verb and a deverbal noun or this combination with a preposition, such as to ask a question or to take hold of. The volume builds on the work of the Old Bailey Corpus, a valuable historical source of real-life spoken data encompassing the proceedings of the Old Bailey at the Central Criminal Court in London, which predates the invention of audio-recording technology. Leone explores syntactic and semantic changes and the role performed by phenomena associated with grammaticalization, lexicalization and idiomatization in this period from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives.The book sheds light on ongoing processes of change in spoken data, enriching knowledge on language change in this period and offering directions for future research. This book will appeal to scholars in English historical linguistics, syntax and semantics, and language change.

  • av Carolyn M Byerly
    615 - 2 095,-

    This textbook considers the critical relationship between gender, race and class and the political economy of media, providing an accessible introduction for students.Carolyn M. Byerly integrates gender, race, and class analysis in posing an intersectional political economy of media theory, and demonstrates how that theory applies in examining communication laws, policies, technology, and other aspects of media today. By synthesizing feminist and critical race theories with more traditional class analysis, this book offers a unified approach to examining the media. Individual chapters delve into communication policy, ownership, governance, labor, and technology issues, with a concluding chapter that explores future research. The book situates citizen challenges to the media's control by a small power elite within a dialectic of struggle and highlights specific campaigns that have pursued successful policy and media reform. Several short case studies by other authors illustrate how an intersectional theory of critical political economy investigation can be undertaken. This is a key text for undergraduate and graduate media and communication courses such as Media and Society, Political Economy of Media, Gender, Race and Media, Research Methods, and more. It will also appeal to social science classes such as Media Sociology, Labor Studies, and Political Economy Research.

  • - Law, Culpability and Regulation
    av Penny Crofts
    1 959,-

    This book elaborates and interrogates the idea of evil corporations from a diverse range of disciplines.There has long been awareness of systemic harms inflicted by corporations, but this awareness has rarely led to any effective legal means to prevent and/or respond adequately to them. Lawyers and legal theorists appear to be stuck asking the same questions, and giving the same ineffective answers. Part of the problem, this book maintains, is the relative lack of theoretical interrogation into the nature of corporations as responsible, moral agents. To break this stasis, this book draws upon philosophies of wickedness in order to ask whether or not corporations are, or can be, evil. With contributions from a range of different disciplines, including law, cultural theory, theology, and philosophy, it offers a novel account of how and why corporate wrongs are caused, whilst exploring the extent to which the legal system itself facilitates such wrongdoing.The book is targeted at a broad international audience with research interests in corporate crime. This will be of particular interest to those within the legal discipline including corporate law, criminal law, corporate crime and law and humanities scholars.

  • - The Ethical Sources of the Entrepreneurial Renewal of Companies and Communities
    av Carsten Herrmann-Pillath
    2 099,-

    This book considers ethical culture in East Asia, examines the impact it has had on economic and social transformation, and explores what effect it might have on solving current problems. It views the ethical culture of East Asia, that is the beliefs, values and practices that define East Asian societies' conceptions of ethics in everyday life, as different from what pertains in the West, with more emphasis in East Asia on respect for ancestors, concern about propriety of behaviour, and notions of community. The book discusses how these particular East Asian values are being applied, for example in family businesses, and how they might further be applied, to solve current crucial challenges for humanity, such as climate change, ageing and persistent inequality, challenges that are not being solved by an exclusive focus on economic growth alone. The book includes a consideration of ethical innovation, for example distinct forms of ecological ethics enshrined in newly emerging economic organizations, such as social entrepreneurship.

  • - Mutual Aid, AIDS & Social Transformation in Psychology
    av Lusijah Marx
    529 - 2 025,-

    The Healing Power of Community offers a diverse cross section of interdisciplinary, and depth-psychological perspectives in support of using mutual aid approaches, in all levels of group and community practice, as a remedy for individualism, social and political divisions and centering social justice.Written by three distinct voices who collaborated in the height of the AIDS crisis, the book begins with an autoethnographic study of Project Quest, an HIV/AIDS clinic established in 1989, before looking at how the lessons learnt from this clinic can be applied to our current, global mental health climate. Filled with clinical and theoretical applications, chapters include content on what mutual aid communities are, rethinking professionalism and boundaries in a crisis, healing collective trauma, group therapy, psychodrama, and how mental health professionals can support radical change of key structures in non-profit clinics, public administration, private practice and research. Arguing for their approach of radicalizing mental health and community-based practice today, the book examines how this can be achieved by moving beyond individual-level approaches, creating new frameworks to meet the mental health needs of our era in creative ways.This book is designed to engage clinical social workers and mental health care clinicians working in community based mental health, as well as those involved in community psychology, collective trauma and grief, HIV/AIDS advocacy, policy making and political advocacy.

  • - A Clinical Guide for Healing and Acceptance Through Better Sex
    av Israel Martinez
    485 - 1 889

    This book aims to help therapists understand the challenges gay men face in their sex lives, providing professionals and gay men with evidence-based interventions and clinical tools to help them heal and live overall healthier lives.Gay men have unique and debilitating issues that can get in the way of them having pleasurable sex. Instead of sex being a space to learn about themselves, heal, release, and receive joy, for many sex is fraught with shame, anxiety, self-hate, and feeling isolated. Written for both professionals and the clients they treat, this book aims to heal sex-related wounds through sex and, in turn, improve every aspect of gay men's mental health. The book begins by exploring what is special about gay men and sex before looking at assessing and presenting medical issues impacting sexual functioning, such as childhood trauma, attachment styles, body issues, anxiety, depression, long-term relationships and parenting, and hookup apps. It then moves onto clinical interventions to address these issues, with intake questionnaires and information on how to adapt sensate focus exercises, neuroscience, narrative, CBT, and somatic modalities to provide sex therapy interventions specific to gay men.With special focus on marginalized communities within the LGBTQIA+ community, such as trans men, BIPOC, aging, disabled, and chronically ill voices, this book is essential reading for sex therapists and mental health professionals working with gay men, as well as gay men themselves looking to live authentically and happily in their sexual lives.

  • - A Contemporary Introduction
    av Andrea Celenza
    375 - 2 025,-

    Erotic Transferences: A Contemporary Introduction offers a comprehensive introduction to this key, yet challenging aspect of the psychoanalytic process.Despite emerging frequently in the psychoanalytic process, Andrea Celenza highlights the sparseness of literature on erotic transferences and a tendency to desexualise psychoanalytic theorising, which she posits is a result of the inherent threat erotic transferences can pose to the analyst. By providing a thorough overview of the topic, clarifying terminology and providing vivid case examples, Celenza seeks to redress this omission. Throughout this volume, she discusses the interplay of power and gender, along with chapters on the temptation of disclosure and the disturbing prevalence of sexual boundary violations.Providing practitioners with the tools to deal with the intense feelings that inevitably arise with erotic transferences, this book is vital reading for all psychoanalysts, psychodynamic practitioners and instructors of candidates and trainees.

This edited collection aims to help therapists understand and apply concepts of systemic resilience in clinical practice, supporting them in conceptualizing cases, treatment planning, and developing supportive therapeutic relationships.Christie Eppler, PhD, and Raquel Martin, PhD, bring together a collection of voices to provide comprehensive guidance on what systemic resilience is and how therapists can enhance the lives and relationships of their clients. Based on contemporary training standards, this text emphasizes practice-based applications and focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Chapters address how to foster resilience in clinical treatment with individual and relational clients, supervisees, and in the therapist's own life. With case studies, clinical activities, interventions, and reflective questions throughout, this approachable text will help therapists empower their clients. This book demonstrates to practicing and established therapists how connections, community involvement, shared visions and a sense of purpose, and healthy relationships can promote growth, healing, and transformation.This is essential reading for students and professionals in counseling, clinical social work, and marriage and family therapy.
