Essays in Honor of William Varner

“These compelling and nuanced essays critically assess the new wave of film on Africa.  From Black Hawk Down to Red Dust, all the blockbusters are here – dissected and examined by writers with an intimate knowledge of the countries and their political and cultural settings.  This is essential and entertaining reading for anyone who wants to understand what it is we learn about Africa, and about the world’s relationship with Africa, in 21st century film.”  ·  David M. Anderson, University of Oxford

	“This accessibly written book forms a welcome addition to media studies, approaches to the history of Africa, and anthropology, and demonstrates that academic specialists have pertinent things to say about the mass media to an audience outside of, as well as within, academia.  Through an exploration of myth and metaphor, the volume shows how, despite the laudable intentions of film directors, mythical histories of Africa continue to serve the needs of Westerners.”  ·  Pat Caplan, Goldsmiths College

'This is a timely collection of extracts from Cobbett’s writings. Deftly contextualised, they make for gripping reading; Cobbett’s insistence on the need for sound money has obvious resonance. ... What better introduction for students of the period?'  Times Literary Supplement  'Cobbett’s opinions are not held but thrown, flung in the face of individuals. Irony is effete, polite plain facts anaemic.'  The Oldie Magazine  'As this outstanding book demonstrates, Cobbett was a man who changed his mind on matters as various as reform, war, and Catholicism in the course of five decades and over 20 million published words. This accessible and brilliantly chosen selection, which is interspersed with judicious directive comments, is the first collection of Cobbett's writings in forty years... this book is an excellent guide as to how a student or teacher might start with Cobbett and best discover his work.'

"Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma is a remarkably compelling blend of interdisciplinary theory and applied case material. The science is accurate, and the clinical material is absorbing. Sharon Stanley’s integration of anthropological and cultural material with relational body techniques is unique. This book will have an indelible impact on the field."
Allan Schore, PhD, author of Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self and The Science of the Art of Psychotherapy

"Sharon Stanley has written a brilliant and comprehensive testament to the absolute necessity of including the somatic connection between the body and the brain in healing trauma. She explores the emerging literature linking the neurophysiology of the fight/flight limbic system, the autonomic nervous system, and the right-brain centers for procedural memory and modulation of arousal with techniques that re-regulate homeostasis. Detailed case studies provide a manual for specific body-based interventions. This book is a must read for therapists."
Robert Scaer, MD, author of The Trauma Spectrum and The Body Bears the Burden

"What a marvelous book! Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma is an amazing integration of developmental neuroscience and clinical psychotherapy. Well written and engaging, it provides plenty of examples to facilitate applied understanding in somatic healing. It will be an excellent resource for clinicians of all stripes, with step-by-step illustrations of therapeutic approaches."

Nai and Maier provide a novel and fascinating account of the relevance of politicians' personality traits for democratic engagement and representation. Moreover, they demonstrate the prevalence of "dark" traits amongst elected officials and offer a timely warning about some of the correlates of dark politicians, including negativity and incivility, polarization and cynicism, and democratic deconsolidation.

'Time, Narrative, and Emotion in Early Modern England offers an important dialogue between two key preoccupations within early modern studies - embodied humoral subjectivity on the one hand, and temporality on the other. David Wood presents a wealth of thoughtful readings, as well as a counter to the underscrutinized historicist resistance to pyschoanalytic theory in readings of Renaissance literature and drama.' Jonathan Gil Harris, George Washington University, USA  ’... challenging and ambitious... learned and provocative. ... Wood is an astute reader, both of primary texts and critical theory, and this book makes original forays in both directions.’ William Kerwin, Renaissance Quarterly  '...a very thought -provoking and challenging reading of texts that remain central to early modern studies as well as a valuable overview of current critical theories....What emerges from this book is a comprehensive and very learned study that seeks to interpret a cross-selection of early modern texts in a dynamic and meaningful engagement. ... [Wood's] footnotes and quotes are excellent, and this innovative book adds a new dimension to early modern critical studies.' British Society for Literature and Science  '... offers a helpful corrective to the neglect of time in recent scholarship on the early modern period.' Sixteenth Century Journal

Bryan elevates a beloved hymn to new heights in this joyful treatment of Alexander&#8217;s classic song. This hymn has been interpreted by artists such as Anna Vojtech (NorthSouth, 2006), Bruce Whatley (HarperCollins, 2001), and others, but Bryan&#8217;s multicultural celebration of God and creation bursts with originality and contemporary appeal. Cut-paper collages in cheerful hues depict scenes of people, animals, and nature. Each illustration holds its own, as there are no weak links here. Opening with a sunburst Ferris wheel full of adults and children of many nations and ending with the multicolored hands of the Creator reaching down from the sky, the artist has created a masterpiece in which art and text work together. Bryan includes images of his mother&#8217;s scissors (which he now uses) on the endpapers, along with an illustrator&#8217;s note and musical notation. This is a memorable interpretation that&#8217;s rich in color and detail.&#8211;SLJ, April 1, 2010
