"This book addresses some of the most important topics on violence throughout the Americas. It constitutes a good reader for students to learn what violence has brought to the continent and to decide what are the networks of meaning violence relates to." - Prof. Ileana Rodríguez, Humanities Distinguished Professor, The Ohio State University

Meanings of Violence in Contemporary Latin America

International Acclaim!　
Akhtar and Twemlow’s Textbook of Applied Psychoanalysis is an original, courageous and extremely useful volume for psychoanalysts and non- psychoanalysts alike. They have brought together forty four distinguished contributors to tackle a wide variety of topics. These experts elucidate the customary concerns of applied psychoanalysis such as fiction, painting, sculpture, music and photography and also explore contemporary issues including migration, poverty, terrorism, cyber -psychology, and inter-ethnic conflict. This is an important book indeed.
Marilia Aisenstein (France)

This wonderful collection of essays creates new bridges between psychoanalysis and other cultural fields while assuring that the conceptual traffic remains interdisciplinary and bi-directional. The innovative and openminded vision of its editors, the unexpected variety and broad range of areas covered, and the scientific prestige of the contributors will deservedly attract and influence a wide international readership. 
Stefano Bolognini (Italy)

At last we have the definitive book on the psychoanalytic understanding of diverse cultural phenomena and vexing social issues. In covering an astonishing range of themes ‒ from fine and performing arts to biology, from human sciences to society and politics ‒ this encyclopedic volume becomes an invaluable guide for everyone who wants to know what the best of contemporary psychoanalysis has to offer outside the clinic.
Sudhir Kakar (India)

This book is an all-encompassing attempt to apply the conceptual tools of psychoanalysis to enhance our understanding of various cultural and sociopolitical aspects of human life. It is unique since it is firmly anchored in psychoanalytic theory and yet exemplifies a genuine effort at interdisciplinary collaboration. It is a timely and highly relevant book for all.
Ilany Kogan (Israel)
Salman Akhtar and Stuart Twemlow have created much more than the most complete volume about psychoanalysis and its contributions to the arts, literature, neuroscience, the social sciences, and critical social issues facing humankind today. They make the overdue case that psychoanalysis has much to offer and learn from other fields while enriching its own unique set of ideas. Readers will be in awe and feel grateful.

"James Fraser’s extensive study is an important contribution on a little-known group of monuments. It exposes ideas associated with their construction and use within this distinct landscape. The book also looks at the history of their archaeology from the first European explorers in this part of the Levant, who considered dolmens as the impetus for monument-building in Europe. In addition, Fraser explores the architecture and the subtle changes that occur within the group, providing the reader with the concept of local innovation, based, in part, on the availability of local geology rather than the result of regional trends and influences." - George Nash, Current World Archaeology, Issue 89

"Petroleum economies have long been analyzed macro-economically as suffering from the "resource curse". This book offers a long-awaited alternative view based on a knowledge economy perspective. Petroleum economies can benefit from complex knowledge built up in supplier industries to diversify into new and promising industries. The case of Norway, central to this book, serves as an example for many other resource-based economies worldwide." -- Koen Frenken, Professor in Innovation Studies, Utrecht University, Netherlands 

"This book reveals the dynamics of natural resources when developed by a capability rich institutional regime. The petroleum sector in Norway is not only a success story, it has also transformed the innovation models of the global petroleum industry. The book is a must for those who want to understand today´s offshore industry as well as for those who want to prepare for the transitions to come." -- Staffan Laestadius, Professor Emeritus, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden 
"The oil and gas industry remains the largest in the world by a long way: it is the resource at the heart of the industrial system. This path-breaking book explores one of its most dynamic national bases [Norway]. It offers unique insights into oil's innovation paths, its industrial trajectories, its economic impacts and its future." --Keith Smith, Professorat Imperial Business School, UK

‘[The book is] ... an enlightening journey through the early Christian Mediterranean mentalities in relation to how the connection between body and sacred space was seen and represented, and a well-documented and rich source for any scholar interested in this period - Ecaterina Lung, Hiperboreea, Volume 8, No. 1 (2021).

‘Each of the eight contributors shows in a different way how art, design, and architectural space could help transform the human body into a vehicle of the divine. Icons and the spaces they occupied had a real presence facilitated by shimmering surfaces; they demanded that believers should move bodily through constricted or open spaces, and they rewarded the pious who gazed upwards with animated manifestations of the heavenly realm’ – Time and Mind, Volume 12, Issue 3 (2019).
