Blessed Are the Spiraling
ARE YOU GOING TO COPE, QUIT, OR COME ALIVE IN A BRAND-NEW WAY?The whirlwind of chaos and confusion barreling toward you has likely caught you completely off guard. Maybe you''re navigating a season of transition—a career shift, a major life adjustment, or just an unshakable sense of disorientation. When the things that once brought fulfillment no longer seem to work, when the familiar feels foreign, and when life feels like it''s slipped out of your control, you''re actually in the perfect position for God to lead you to greater heights.Am I still enough if I don''t succeed? Is this season going to last forever? Am I too old to make a change, start over, or dream again?Levi Lusko wrestled with these questions, and what he discovered on the other side wasn''t despair but surprising delight.With a rich blend of personal stories, biblical insight, and hard-won wisdom, this book will help youfind your footing in the disorienting chaos and tap into steady, unshakable joy amidst life''s storms;step off the treadmill of success-chasing and embrace the true significance that comes from knowing that your worth is fixed and your future is secure;challenge the lie that your best days are behind you by getting your bearings, retooling, and reframing for a vibrant future; andchannel the energy of your spiraling into something meaningful and life-giving, propelling you to a new level. This could be your new lease on life.
African Military Politics in the Sahel
Challenging western and francocentric accounts of military interventions in the Sahel, Katharina P. W. Döring foregrounds the response of African regional organizations to armed violence since 2012. Based on extensive empirical research, she reconstructs the experiences of African intervenors in planning and deploying missions in the region. The book outlines the complex constellation of actors who shape African military politics, including presidents, diplomats, and bureaucrats. Drawing upon insights from critical geography, Döring considers the oft-neglected role that space ? at once relational and changing ? plays in the power dynamics of the region. In so doing, she offers a fresh perspective on military deployments and their politics. Amidst the current resurgence of nationalist geopolitics, this study and its ?ndings have far-reaching implications for the analysis of military politics in Africa and beyond.

Divination
This Element adopts a naturalistic, cognitive perspective to understand divination. Following an overview of divination and the historical background of its scholarly study, Section 2 examines various definitions and proposes a working definition that balances common usage with theoretical coherence. Section 3 surveys existing theories of divination, including symbolic and functional perspectives, while critiquing their limitations. Section 4 argues for the primacy of cognition in divinatory practices, emphasizing the role of universal cognitive mechanisms and culturally specific worldviews in shaping their plausibility and persistence. Expanding on these ideas, Section 5 investigates the interplay between individual cognition and societal processes, highlighting socio-cultural factors such as the preferential reporting of successful outcomes that bolster divination''s perceived efficacy. Finally, Section 6 concludes by summarizing the Element''s key arguments and identifying open questions for future research on the cognitive dimension of divination.

Imperial Incarceration
For nineteenth-century Britons, the rule of law stood at the heart of their constitutional culture, and guaranteed the right not to be imprisoned without trial. At the same time, in an expanding empire, the authorities made frequent resort to detention without trial to remove political leaders who stood in the way of imperial expansion. Such conduct raised difficult questions about Britain''s commitment to the rule of law. Was it satisfied if the sovereign validated acts of naked power by legislative forms, or could imperial subjects claim the protection of Magna Carta and the common law tradition? In this pathbreaking book, Michael Lobban explores how these matters were debated from the liberal Cape, to the jurisdictional borderlands of West Africa, to the occupied territory of Egypt, and shows how and when the demands of power undermined the rule of law. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Navigating Local Transitional Justice
In post-war Sierra Leone, a range of transitional justice mechanisms were implemented to address experiences of conflict, violence, and human rights violations. Much of the research on local transitional justice processes has focused on the work of organisations, failing to acknowledge how individual and communal dynamics shape and are shaped by these programs. Drawing on original fieldwork in Sierra Leone, Laura S. Martin moves beyond discussions measuring effectiveness and considers how people navigate their circumstances in conflict and post-conflict societies. Developing the idea of recognised and unrecognised transitional justice processes, Martin uses Fambul Tok as an example of a recognised local transitional justice program and shows how ordinary Sierra Leoneans appropriated Fambul Tok''s agenda for their own purposes. Ultimately, this book highlights the crucial role of agency and the diverse range of actors involved in transitional justice processes. Justice, as Martin powerfully argues, is not something that happens to or for people, but is enacted by individuals and communities.
Arming Black Consciousness
Since 1994, as the ruling party in South Africa, the ANC have become synonymous with and indivisible from the fight against apartheid rule. This has left little space for competing accounts, visions, and political projects to find their appropriate place in the historical narrative. In this innovative book, Toivo Asheeke moves beyond these well-trodden histories, to tell the previously neglected story of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM), a militant revolutionary nationalist wing of the anti-colonial struggle. Using archival sources from four countries and interviews with former veterans of the movement, Asheeke explores the BCM''s engagement with guerrilla warfare, community feminism and Black Internationalism. Uncovering the personal and political histories of those who have previously received scant scholarly attention, Asheeke both illuminates the history of Africa''s decolonization struggle and that of the wider Cold War.
Nothing More than Freedom
Nothing More than Freedom explores the long and complex legal history of Black freedom in the United States. From the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 until the end of Reconstruction in 1877, supreme courts in former slave states decided approximately 700 lawsuits associated with the struggle for Black freedom and equal citizenship. This litigation ? the majority through private law ? triggered questions about American liberty and reassessed the nation''s legal and political order following the Civil War. Judicial decisions set the terms of debates about racial identity, civil rights, and national belonging, and established that slavery, as a legal institution and social practice, remained actionable in American law well after its ostensible demise. The verdicts determined how unresolved facets of slavery would undercut ongoing efforts for abolition and the realization of equality. Insightful and compelling, this work makes an important intervention in the history of post-Civil War law.

Pszichotalpaló
"A pszichológiai ismeretek széles körű terjedése ellenére nap mint nap azzal szembesülök a praxisomban, a social médiában vagy előadásaim kapcsán, hogy az emberek ismerete általában felszínesnek mondható a pszichológia elméleti és gyakorlati kérdéseiben.
E könyv megírásával célom az volt, hogy tudományos igényességgel, de mégis gyakorlatias és jól érthető módon közelítsem meg azokat a témákat, amelyek a legtöbb ember számára relevánsak a hétköznapi életben. Olyan univerzális egzisztencialista témákkal is foglalkozom, mint a halál, a szenvedés értelme, a szabad akarat és a felelősség kérdése.
A pszichikus jelenségeket holisztikus szemléletben értelmezem, így helyet kapnak genetikai, biológiai, idegélettani, pszichés, szociális, kulturális és spirituális magyarázó elvek a személyiségfejlődés és a pszichés betegségek kialakulása kapcsán.
A könyv útmutatóul szolgálhat azoknak is, akik szenvednek és segítséget keresnek, hiszen támpontot kaphatnak arra vonatkozólag, hogy mi történik bennük, és hol érdemes keresni további segítséget."

Meghalok én is?
"Mit teszünk, mit tehetünk, ha a gyermek kopogtat a titkok kapuján?" Ha például egy hozzátartozója elvesztésével vagy esetleg a saját közelgő halálával kell szembesülnie? Ha bármilyen egyéb okból kérdés merül fel benne a halállal kapcsolatban? Egyáltalán, miért övezi titok a halált? Miért lett tabu belőle napjainkra?
Polcz Alaine pszichológusként, tanatológusként és a Hospice Alapítvány létrehozójaként a téma avatott ismerőjének, elismert szaktekintélyének számít. Ebben a könyvében saját klinikai tapasztalatait osztja meg, esetleírásokat, interjúkat közöl, amelyeket azután kommentál, elemez. Mivel tudása mellett empátiája is megkérdőjelezhetetlen, könyve amellett, hogy hiánypótló mű, valódi segítséget képes nyújtani ebben a nehéz helyzetben.
Mert kétségtelenül nehéz ez a helyzet. Mégis fontos és megkerülhetetlen az ezzel való foglalkozás. Ugyanakkor kevesen képesek szembenézni a halál kérdésével, márpedig enélkül a válaszadás sem lehetséges. Ez a könyv arra vállalkozik, hogy megkönnyítse a válaszokat és ezzel tulajdonképpen az elfogadhatatlan elfogadását is
Mandatory Madness
Mandatory Madness offers a new perspective on a pivotal period in the history of modern Palestine, by putting mental illness and the psychiatric encounters it engendered at the heart of the story. Through a careful and creative reading of an eclectic mix of archival and published material, Mandatory Madness reveals how a range of actors - British colonial officials, Zionist health workers, Arab doctors and nurses, and Palestinian families - responded to mental illness in the decades before 1948. Rather than a concern of European Jewish psychiatric experts alone, questions around the causes, nature, and treatment of mental illness were negotiated across diverse and sometimes surprising sites in mandate Palestine: not only in underfunded and overcrowded government mental hospitals and private Jewish clinics, certainly, but also in family homes and neighbourhood streets, in colonial courtrooms and prisons and census offices, and in the itineraries of shaykhs and patients alike as they crossed newly drawn borders within the Levant. Bringing together histories of medicine, colonialism, and the modern Middle East, Mandatory Madness highlights how the seemingly personal and private matter of mental illness generated distinctive forms of entanglement: between colonial state and society, Arabs and Jews, and Palestine and the wider region.
