BOOK EXCERPT:
This book proceeds from a single and very simple observation: throughout history, and up to the present, women have received a clear message that we are not supposed to prioritize ourselves. Indeed, the whole question of "self" is a problem for women – and a problem that issues from a wide range of locations, including, in some cases, feminism itself. When women espouse discourses of self-interest, self-regard, and selfishness, they become illegible. This is complicated by the commodification of the self in the recent Western mode of economic and political organization known as "neoliberalism," which encourages a focus on self-fashioning that may not be identical with self-regard or self-interest. Drawing on figures from French, US, and UK contexts, including Rachilde, Ayn Rand, Margaret Thatcher, and Lionel Shriver, and examining discourses from psychiatry, media, and feminism with the aim of reading against the grain of multiple orthodoxies, this book asks how revisiting the words and works of selfish women of modernity can assist us in understanding our fraught individual and collective identities as women in contemporary culture. And can women with politics that are contrary to the interests of the collective teach us anything about the value of rethinking the role of the individual? This book is an essential read for those with interests in cultural theory, feminist theory, and gender politics.

BOOK EXCERPT:
If you want to be happy the first thing you have to do is to Pay Attention and Be Alert. This will enhance your ability to see things you could not see before. You will see that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, and that we are, at the same time, mortal and immortal, human and divine. You will also realize how interconnected and interdependent we all are, and this new conscience of our divinity and oneness will liberate you from all your fears, allowing you to live a happy life. Piero Falci was a successful executive at the top of his professional career when an unexpected downturn took him through difficult times and a deep spiritual transformation. During this journey that lasted seven years he paid extreme attention to the voice within and carefully recorded what was being revealed to him. Those life-changing revelations are the core of the book Pay Attention! Be Alert! Today, Piero enjoys a peaceful life centered in the present moment and finds great delight in sharing what he has learned. He is committed to helping others achieve a higher consciousness, convinced that a widespread awareness of our divine nature and oneness is what will pave the way for universal peace and unity. Pay Attention! Be Alert! is the spiritual guide that reveals the route to happiness.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This volume is a comprehensive, up-to-date, and readable introduction to linguistic meaning. While partial to conceptual and typological approaches, the book also presents results from formal approaches. Throughout, the focus is on grammatical meaning -- the way languages delineate universal semantic space and encode it in grammatical form. Subjects covered by the author include: the domain of linguistic semantics and the basic tools, assumptions, and issues of semantic analysis; semantic properties of entities, events, and thematic roles; language and space; tense, aspect, and the internal structure and temporal ordering of events; modality, negation, and the epistemology of the speaker; and modification and attribution. In contrast to most current treatments of semantics, this book is accessible to the beginning student of semantics and linguistics and also useful to the advanced practitioner. A textbook and reference work in a single volume, it can be used in a number of disciplines: psychology, computer science, and anthropology as well as linguistics.

`I judge this book to be something of a triumph. It provides many valuable insights into how social psychologists work within different paradigms and with quite different assumptions.... Throughout, the writing is clear, central issues are constantly re-examined, and sight is never lost of the whole "task" of the book... it addresses central issues both adventurously and provocatively. Students who use it are lucky to have such a feast provided, and they are bound to find the material both challenging and stimulating... there is much more about self issues in this text than in any comparable social psychology text. And that, in itself, is a major achievement' - Self & Society This accessible, broad-based and a
