"This volume is a welcome reminder that there are underutilized theoretical resources in Hegel for thinking through the hopes and disappointments of modern politics." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"The volume is logically divided into three sections: the first deals with the larger connection between Hegel’s metaphysics and his political philosophy; the second section with both the metaphysics of Hegel’s political philosophy and its distinction from Kant—an important topic, given the Anglo-American reception of Hegel; and the third section with topics more specific to Hegel’s political philosophy. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." – CHOICE Reviews

Hegel's Metaphysics and the Philosophy of Politics

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s epic in the truest sense of&#160;the world, and fantastic in a completely original&#160;and inventive way&hellip;I read all 400-odd pages&#160;in about 12 hours, ignoring all else. My guess&#160;is you will too.&rdquo;&mdash;Ysabeau Wilce&#160;for Locus&ldquo;Kameron Hurley warned us all on twitter that Terrible Things would befall the characters introduced in The Mirror Empire, and she did not lie. But she also didn&rsquo;t give the whole truth. Empire Ascendant is a deeply complicated book. Yes, it is dark and brutal. But it is also almost bizarrely hopeful.&rdquo;&mdash;B.R. Sanders, author of Ariah&ldquo;Empire Ascendant is a masterful addition to the epic fantasy genre.&rdquo;&mdash;Borrowed Worlds&ldquo;Hurley is clearly genius.&rdquo;&mdash;Joe&rsquo;s Geek Fest&ldquo;Recommended for fans of Game of Thrones and The Emperor&rsquo;s Blades. Intricate, unforgiving, and fascinating.&rdquo;&mdash;Libromancer&rsquo;s Apprentice&ldquo;Hurley has put together something very special. There are complex characters. There&rsquo;s a believable, if broken world. There&rsquo;s a plot which will absolutely knock your socks off, if you&rsquo;re prepared to let it. But it&rsquo;s also a book willing to explore more deeply, to challenge reader preconceptions and expectations, to ask the reader to invest themselves, and willing to repay that investment in a mixture of enlightenment and blood. That depth, and that narrative bravery, makes Empire Ascendant not just a very good fantasy novel, but a great one &ndash; and one very highly recommended.&rdquo;&mdash;SF and F Reviews&ldquo;[Kameron Hurley]&#160;stated on twitter that this is to the first book what Empire Strikes Back is toStar Wars, but I feel she sells herself short. This book, in how it grows the themes of The Mirror Empire and builds them to dizzying, breathtaking heights is more of a Godfather Part&#160;II. Everything about it is better, greater, grander than what came&#160;before.&rdquo;&mdash;View from Ascraeus&ldquo;This series just keeps getting better. It&rsquo;s one of the most complex sci-fi series I&rsquo;ve read yet I quickly got back into its worlds. Should you read it? If you love digging deep into worlds and relationships among divergent people, as well as exploring what makes people tick, then I think you&rsquo;ll really like this series.&rdquo;&mdash;Popcorn Reads&ldquo;There is something about picking up the second in a series. You already know you like the concept or you wouldn&rsquo;t bother to continue, but this time it&rsquo;s different. The story has to hold up not only to its internal standard but to your memories of the first book and&#160;it takes a skilled author to manage that. Luckily Kameron Hurley counts as a skilled author and in Empire Ascendant she unravels the story into something even bigger without once dropping the thread.&rdquo;&mdash;Nerd Underground&ldquo;Although this is a second (or middle) book, things actually happen here. With the world, the scenario, and the characters already established, Hurley is free to focus on the action &ndash; and she delivers that in spades. This is a fast-paced tale that carries a sense of urgency from page one.&rdquo;&mdash;The Speculative Herald&ldquo;Read this book. Well, start with book one The Mirror Empire and then once you&rsquo;ve been sucked into this &lsquo;verse go read this one&hellip;I was totally immersed in this story.&rdquo;&mdash;Susan Hated Literature&ldquo;With the world, the scenario, and the characters already established, Hurley is free to focus on the action &ndash; and she delivers that in spades. This is a fast-paced tale that carries a sense of urgency from page one. You can feel the tension oozing off the page as the characters clash, cultures collide, and worlds approach an end. The plot develops as much, if not more so, than in the first book &ndash; and not always in ways you&rsquo;d expect. There are twists and turns to the tale that even the most jaded readers won&rsquo;t see coming, as the story careens downhill towards an uncomfortable precipice.&rdquo;&mdash;Beauty in Ruins&ldquo;If you&rsquo;re a fan of intense fantasy with an impressive death toll, Empire Ascendant by Kameron Hurley is the book for you.&rdquo;&mdash;Knitter Nerd&ldquo;I have become a Kameron Hurley&hellip; fangirl? Devotee? Acolyte? I&rsquo;ll say this to those who already read&#160;The Mirror Empire:&#160;Yes, you want to read this too, &#160;and no, you will not be disappointed.&rdquo;&mdash;Fat RobotPraise for the Worldbreaker Saga and Kameron Hurley:"Hurley&#160;reuses old tropes to excellent effect, interweaving them with original elements to create a world that will fascinate and delight her established fans and appeal to newcomers. Readers will blaze through this opening installment and eagerly await the promised sequel."&mdash;Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)"This is a hugely ambitious work, bloody and violent, with interestingly gender-flipped politics and a host of factions to keep straight, as points of view switch often. Although it is a challenging read, the strong narrative thread in this new series from Hurley (God's War) pulls readers through the imaginative tangle of multiple worlds and histories colliding."&mdash;Library Journal (Starred Review)&#160;&ldquo;Kameron Hurley is ferociously imaginative &ndash; with the emphasis on the ferocious. She writes novels that are smart, dark, visceral and wonderfully, hectically entertaining.&rdquo;&mdash;Lauren Beukes, author of Zoo City and The Shining Girls"With vividly inventive world building and a fast-paced plot, The Mirror Empire opens a smart, brutal, and ambitious epic fantasy series. Book two is already on my must-read list."&#160;&mdash;Kate Elliott, author of the&#160;Spiritwalker&#160;Trilogy"There's a powerful yet elegant brutality in The Mirror Empire that serves notice to traditional epic fantasy: move over, make way, an intoxicating new blend of storytelling has arrived. These are pages that will command your attention."&#160;&mdash;Bradley P. Beaulieu, author of&#160;The Lays of Anuskaya&#160;trilogy"The Mirror Empire is&#160;the most original fantasy I&rsquo;ve read in a long time, set in a world full of new ideas, expanding the horizons of the genre. A complex and intricate book full of elegant ideas and finely-drawn characters."&mdash;Adrian Tchaikovsky, Gemmel Legend Finalist and author of&#160;The Shadows of the Apt&#160;series&ldquo;Kameron Hurley&rsquo;s writing is the most exciting thing I&rsquo;ve seen on the genre page&hellip; What Hurley&rsquo;s writing has (and it&rsquo;s something not one in a dozen genre practitioners seems able to generate) is passion. It doesn&rsquo;t hurt that there&rsquo;s also a rare freshness to the material, and a heady dash of high octane noir worked into the mix.&rdquo;&mdash;Richard K. Morgan, author of The Steel Remains and the Takeshi Kovacs novels

"This book is the single best example of the productive and imaginative combination of methodological approaches in IR I have ever seen.  The clarity with which Rousseau elaborates his methods is outstanding, as is his self-conscious reflection on their costs and benefits.  He clearly demonstrates the empirical and theoretical inadequacies of all strands of realism, and the necessary inclusion of constructivism in any account of threat and war."

Vietnam's Political Process

The Unlikely Uncle (Pemberton Manor, #8)

Collective intelligence combined with collaborative action are, for me, the hallmarks of a society determined to adapt with hope… 

—Pam Warhurst, CBE, Chair of Incredible Edible Network, Chair of Pennine Prospects, former Chair of the Forestry Commission Great Britain, former Co-chair of the Countryside Agency, etc

Some of the most fascinating work underway worldwide is exploring the frontiers of collective intelligence and collective wisdom - how communities and cities can think together and get beyond the often banal promise of ‘smart cities’. This book is packed with frameworks and ideas applying these ideas to the future evolution of cities: literally, a mind-expanding book.
—Geoff Mulgan, Professor of Collective Intelligence, Public Policy and Social Innovation, University College London, and author of ‘Big Mind’
Powerful and poignant. If there were ever a time to foreground a plurality of knowledges from all over the world for common purpose, it would be now - to advance Deeper City’s proposition of shifting crisis towards transformation. The combination of traditional foresight techniques with gaming, wordplays and Ravetz’s ever-evocative visualisations, is rich and compelling. Just what is needed to invite the collective to participate in growing new wisdoms in troubling and uncertain times. A valuable resource for all re-imaginers, re-educators and re-makers.

—Professor Geci Karuri-Sebina, South African Cities Network / African Centre for Cities, Johannesburg, South Africa 
This is a truly brilliant book. And the cherry on top is that it easy to read, and packed with wonderful images. A true contribution in helping create a deeper transformative Gaian polity. We are all indebted to Ravetz.

—Professor Sohail Inayatullah, Inauguaral Unesco Chair in Futures Studies, Metafuture.org, Professor at Tamkang University
Inspirational, imaginative, wise – and – deep… One of the most visionary and creative works on cities and human co-evolution I have ever encountered. Joe Ravetz takes us on a profound journey into collaborative learning, thinking and exploring.
—Dr Cristina Garzillo Leemhuis, Senior Coordinator, ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability, Germany 
Systemic crises demand systemic responses. In a world deeply amiss, we can’t tweak our way to livable cities and a decent future. We need to nurture the collective intelligence and action for transformative change, and this book is an essential guide for that journey.

—Paul Raskin, Ph.D, President, Tellus Institute: Director, Great Transition Initiative, USA
We face unprecedented times of stress, with large global shocks like pandemics, a rapid move towards urbanization, and climate change which all impact human society in deep, profoundly unequal ways. Systemic thinking is needed to find ways out of this crisis. Drawing on deep experience from diverse geographies, and varied contexts from urban finance to ecology, politics, technology and culture, Deeper City provides ideas to spur our imagination. This book is important reading for all those who wish to understand how to design a future urban world that is sustainable and just"

—Professor Harini Nagendra, Director of Research, Azim Premji University, Bangalore
‘Deep structure’ is an idea originating in the theory of language, which enables us to dig below what we see on the surface to more fundamental meanings. It also applies to cities, the crucibles of collective intelligence, far beyond our current obsession with ‘smart cities’. This calls for synergistic insights from many perspectives. Joe Ravetz has not only produced a roadmap of multiple pathways for the future of cities, but also an atlas of the terrain that we need to navigate, with its many layers of politics, economics, technologies, and ecologies. Essential reading for anyone interested in how we might grapple with the huge challenges that future cities bring, from climate change to the current Pandemic.

—Professor Michael Batty,Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA), University College London
I have been a fan of Joe’s for many years. The post-script to Deeper City on a Pandemic-III is particularly timely as cities everywhere are looking to rethink themselves. At Ethical Reading, for example, we are working with business and community organisations on pathways to tackle multiple social and economic challenges. I can recommend the ideas of Deeper City – and the graphics!

—Gill Ringland, SAMI Fellow Emeritus: Director, Ethical Reading: Council Member of the Economic and Social Research Council: Fellow of British Computing Society
The economic crash, global pandemic, looming climate emergency and growing inequality, all show that new ways of thinking and acting are urgently needed. Joe Ravetz sets out in both words and pictures clear pathways for this emerging reality. He demonstrates that overcoming these problems is possible, and that opportunities for a wiser and more peaceful society lie in wait...

—Alex Smith, Founding Director of Alara Wholefoods, Chair of Camley St Neighbourhood Forum, Chair of Food & Drink Federation Organics Group
By the middle of the century about three quarters of the world’s people will live in cities. This makes what cities think and do about climate change, central to any chance we have of climate policy success. We cannot succeed unless top down policies by governments are complemented by bottom up policies in cities, and communities or networks of all kinds, whose leaders are much more likely to be trusted by voters.

—Tom Burke, CBE, Chairman and Founding Director of E3G (Third Generation Environmentalism): Visiting Professor at University College & Imperial College London.

This book is the culmination of ideas developed over a long period of time and shared with numerous collaborators, including a research team in which I was a member. In mapping the pathways for the future, Ravetz offers a comprehensive and thoughtful treatment of how ‘synergistic thinking’ may become possible. Enriched with examples from across the world, and beautifully illustrated by Ravetz’ superb drawings, the book provides an engaging and accessible volume for a wide range of readers who are interested in the future of cities and everything within them. 

—Professor Simin Davoudi, Director of Global Urban Research Unit (GURU), Co-Director of NU Centre for Cities, Newcastle University 
As Joe Ravetz sets out in Deeper City – we, that is all of us and all societies, are in the middle of a ‘massive act of self-harm’. We are faced with global existential threats, despite global connectivity to anywhere and everywhere. We face increasing radical uncertainty, despite there being more information than ever before about anything and everything. And　we face growing divisions and isolation in society, despite the revolution of social media to　communicate instantly to anyone and everyone. There has been no more critical time than now for change. Ravetz challenges us to do this, starting with the language we use. The range of ideas and styles used to illustrate them is vast and itself challenging. In many ways, reading this book is like entering a great art gallery with so many rooms , painters, exhibitions , shops , cafes ... One needs to go back, time and again, to really absorb the wealth of ideas. Like the gallery, where some artists will resonate more than others, this book says something to all of us about how we can all change, whatever our role in shaping the future of our cities.

—Professor Vincent Goodstadt, Honorary President, European Council of Spatial Planners

Praise for the previous edition:
'A Handbook of Visual Methods in Psychology establishes a major contribution to the growing body of theories on visual methods in psychology. ... The reader is presented with a great diversity of practices and methods of visual data ... [which] expands our understanding of the broad range of possibilities, constraints and of caveats that are in involved in visual practices in research methodology. ... The overall composition of the book is framed as an interpretive guideline by the editor, that enables students, practitioners, researchers and scientists easy access to the content. ... The wide-ranging content of this work offers a diverse spectrum of empirical studies and theories about the intrinsic strengths of visual approaches in psychology research methods that could be invaluable to social work educators and students.' - Kees J.M Van Haaster, Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands, in The International Journal for Social Work and Social Care Education 
'This book brings something genuinely new to the rapidly growing field of visual research. In fact, as a collection itprovides a real step change in our understanding of the nature, the roles and the potential of visual research methods.' -Alan Bryman, Professor of Organizational and Social Research, The University of Leicester, UK
'The scope of this text is impressive. It spans a good range of approaches to analysis and theoretical approaches, and covers an engaging array of areas of psychology. What is really commendable is the interpretive framework provided by the editor in framing why and how visual materials have now – eventually – come into use within psychological research. This makes it a very welcome volume that addresses a current gap in methodological debates within psychology.' - Erica Burman, Professor of Education, University of Manchester, UK
