The Poetry of Flowers

"What do you want?" Polly Young-Eisendrath puts that question--as bewildering as it is bold--at the centre of her study of femininity and female desire. "As a psychoanalyst and a Buddhist," she writes, at the very beginning of Women and Desire. Beyond Wanting to be Wanted, "I have learned many theories and explanations of desire, but the problem of female desire ... always remained". It is female desire as a problem--a problem with the potential for (better) resolution--which drives this book from its psycho-political analysis of the vicissitudes of femininity in patriarchy to Young-Eisendrath's sensitive, and lively, presentation of her clinical work with the women and couples who turn to psychotherapy for help. In both instances, she is keen to exploit the interface between myth and psychoanalysis, folktale and the possibility of social change: in particular, the potential for reshaping women's powerful attachment to the dramas of "wanting to be wanted". In the name of that reshaping, Young-Eisendrath mines the wisdom of legend and folktale--The Marriage of Sir Gawain and the Lady Ragnell, for example, is read for its exploration of the pleasures, and dangers, of female desire and self-determination--in order to track the process of becoming "Subject" rather than "Object" of desire. The aim of Women and Desire is unashamedly therapeutic: from her analysis of the evil power of the "hag" to her presentation of Diana, Princess of Wales as the 'cultural muse of our time', Young-Eisendrath is concerned with human development, the potential for women's growth and freedom opened up by 'making our own choices every step of the way'--an optimism supported here by an eclectic mix of myth, therapy and cultural analysis.

“Strong point of this multi-author textbook, which is not captured in the ‘trauma chapter’ of most major anesthesia textbooks, is the valuable detailed coverage of most of the spectrum of trauma care that our specialty will encounter. … this is a good first attempt to cover an important area of clinical anesthesia in greater detail than is offered by major textbooks.” (Doreen Yee, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, Vol. 62, 2015)“This is a multiauthored review of anesthetic practice, pain management, and critical care of injured patients. … Anesthesiologists and intensivists at all levels managing injured patients are the intended audience for this book … . Each chapter has an ample reference list with citations dating to within one year of publication.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2014)

&ldquo;Wylie covers plenty of ground, explaining in illuminating and often scary detail how Cambridge Analytica exploited the data to create Facebook pages that would needle &lsquo;neurotic, conspiratorial citizens,&rsquo; propagating an outraged solidarity.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times &ldquo;Mindf*ck is worth reading if you're interested in some of the bigger questions of the day: elections; data; Russia&rsquo;s involvement in all of this; Steve Bannon's power plays in global politics; the list of politicians who make an appearance at the Cambridge Analytica offices. . . . The book does serve as a reminder that it might be time to check in with yourself and your relationship with the internet. Wylie talks about invading America by &lsquo;purposefully activating the worst in people, from paranoia to racism.&rsquo; Especially in relation to a certain company that sees regulation of its industry as an &lsquo;existential threat,&rsquo; it&rsquo;s a nice time to really wonder&mdash;sure, online feels good. But is it worth it?&rdquo;&mdash;NPR&ldquo;Mindf*ck&#160;demonstrates how digital influence operations, when they converged with the nasty business of politics, managed to hollow out democracies. . . . [Wylie&rsquo;s] personal story, woven into the book&rsquo;s narrative, illustrates the confusion of our current political era as well as the challenge to Wylie&rsquo;s fellow members of the social media generation as they seek identities real and imagined, physical and virtual. . . . He makes clear how important the virtual world is to personal identity for his generation and those that follow.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post

"A Blind Guide to Stinkville is a delightfully unexpected story with humor and heart. Vrabel tackles some tough issues, including albinism, depression, and loneliness, with a compassionate perspective and a charming voice." &#151;Amanda Flower, author of the Agatha Award-nominated Andi Boggs Series&#147;Brimming with wit and heart, A Blind Guide to Stinkville examines the myriad ways we define difference between ourselves and others and asks us to reexamine how we see belonging.&#8221; &#151;Tara Sullivan, award-winning author of Golden Boy"Most commendable is Vrabel's focus on compromise and culture shock. Disorientation encompasses not only place and attitude, but also the rarely explored ambivalence of being disabled on a spectrum. Alice's insistence that she's 'not that blind' rings true with both stubbornness and confusion as she avails herself of some tools while not needing others, in contrast to typically unambiguous portrayals. Readers who worry about fitting in&#151;wherever that may be&#151;will relate to Alice's journey toward compromise and independence." &#151;Kirkus Reviews

Literature, Religion, and Politics in Restoration England

Dryden and Enthusiasm

"Deftly combining political economy and cultural theory, Tai Neilson explains the significance of digital journalism for society and for the workers who labour in the industry. A must read for those who wonder and worry about the future of democracy in a media world driven by clicks, algorithms and dollar signs."
– Vincent Mosco, Queen's University, Canada, and Fudan University, China 

"Tai Neilson has succeeded in bringing together political economy, materialistic and cultural studies approaches on the work of journalists in New Zealand and the United States. This results in a rich palette of resistance as well as exploitation, of experimentation as much as standardisation, of love and suffering for the job. This book marks an important step in the struggle for better working conditions and quality journalism."
– Mark Deuze, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

"All journalists are today digital workers operating in media organisations that have experienced the structural transformation towards digital capitalism. Tai Neilson’s book is an excellent study of digital journalists’ labour in digital capitalism. He shows how the digitalisation of journalism has in the context of capitalism been confronted by the intensification of exploitation, the reification of journalists’ work, and the ideology of entrepreneurship. This book is an essential work and a must-read for anyone who cares about a democratic public sphere and wants to understand digital journalism."
– Christian Fuchs, University of Westminster, UK

"One of the challenges in restoring trust in news is re-establishing that there is value in the work of professional journalists. Through detailed interviews with working journalists about the impacts of digital platforms, Tai Neilson identifies new ways to understand the invisible labor of news work, and how journalist can build a future that goes beyond "business as usual" in a time of great disruption."
– Terry Flew, University of Sydney, Australia

"Drawing from careful ethnographic research and a diverse range of critical theory, Tai Neilson expertly elucidates the politics of digital news work—both the exploitation of journalists and the potential for resistance. It is a devastating portrait, but also a hopeful one. I urge students and scholars of digital labor, political economy, and journalism studies—as well as concerned citizens who care about the future of media and democracy—to read this important book."
– Victor Pickard, University of Pennsylvania, USA
