Emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, and dysfunctional patterns of eating are clearly among the most devastating and prevalent confronting practitioners, and they have received much attention from researchers—in personality, social, cognitive, and developmental psychology, as well as in clinical psychology and psychiatry. A major recent focus has been cognitive vulnerability, which seems to set the stage for recurrences of symptoms and episodes. In the last five years there has been a rapid proliferation of studies. In this book, leading experts present the first broad synthe

Bringing together leading experts from North America, Europe, the Middle East and SE Asia, this book provides a timely overview of the various methods for understanding and implementing sustainable practices at local levels. In doing so, they present the wide range of local action alternatives available to planners that

As the most advanced human thinking is expressed by special language there are exciting possibilities for research in which philosophical, semantic, semiotic, text-linguistic and pragmatic approaches are utilized. It is, however, astonishing how absolute the borders between different research traditions have been, and how the borders persist. Nevertheless internationalism should be recognized as equally necessary for successful work in LSP research as elsewhere. This volume is an attempt to intensify the contacts between different research traditions.

In this fascinating book, Lauren Kassell vividly recovers the world of medicine and magic in Elizabethan London.
