Amber Haque, "Clinical Applications of Islamic Psychology"
English | ISBN: 1737281643 | 2023 | 362 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Islamic Psychology (IP) is rapidly developing and growing in the public interest, with more academic and clinical training programs worldwide. Over the past decade, much work has gone into creating theoretical frameworks and therapeutic modalities for applying IP principles in clinical settings. A significant amount of work is dispersed throughout the world in isolated settings as individuals or groups of practitioners develop and implement their models. This edited volume provides a window into some of that work from clinicians globally, attempting to put IP concepts, principles, and frameworks into therapeutic practice. This work builds on the momentum of academic discourse and practical applications, contributing to the field's evolution as it moves toward mainstream recognition. The authors of each chapter present their professional experiences, ideas, methods, and evidence-based research, giving a broad view of the current state of affairs in the clinical applications of Islamic psychology.

David Rankine, "Conjuring the Planetary Intelligences: A Series of Conjurations Found in Sloane 3821 "
English | ASIN : B087YSJWCN | 2020 | 52 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Part of the Guides to the Underworld series from Hadean Press. The Planetary Intelligences (or Angels) first appear in Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy, published in 1531-3, though he drafted it around 1508-9. From Agrippa onwards, the Planetary Intelligences have usually been associated with talismanic work. The series of conjurations presented in Sloane 3821 (and partially in Sloane 3825) indicate that they were also conjured in the manner of angels and demons.

In this Guide David Rankine presents the conjurations for the Planetary Intelligences along with an appendix of the Shapes of Spirits from the Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy and the kameas.

Peter Atkins, "Conjuring the Universe: The Origins of the Laws of Nature"
English | ISBN: 0198813376 | 2018 | 208 pages | EPUB | 1073 KB
The marvellous complexity of the Universe emerges from several deep laws and a handful of fundamental constants that fix its shape, scale, and destiny. There is a deep structure to the world which at the same time is simple, elegant, and beautiful. Where did these laws and these constants come from? And why are the laws so fruitful when written in the language of mathematics?

Peter Atkins considers the minimum effort needed to equip the Universe with its laws and its constants. He explores the origin of the conservation of energy, of electromagnetism, of classical and quantum mechanics, and of thermodynamics, showing how all these laws spring from deep symmetries. The revolutionary result is a short but immensely rich weaving together of the fundamental ideas of physics. With his characteristic wit, erudition, and economy, Atkins sketches out how the laws of Nature can spring from very little. Or arguably from nothing at all.

Robert Weissberg, "Connecting Speaking & Writing in Second Language Writing Instruction "
English | ISBN: 0472030329 | 2006 | 192 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Connecting Speaking & Writing in Second Language Writing Instruction provides both a theoretical perspective on the importance of L2 learners' development of written language as well as practical strategies for incorporating social interaction into the writing classroom.

Weissberg provides a compelling argument for rethinking and reclaiming the speaking-writing connection. He reminds L2 writing specialists about the work of Vygotsky and other sociocultural theorists and how social interaction and inner speech play an integral role in writing. Weissberg also shows how encouraging concurrent oral-writing proficiencies affects L2 learners and how dialogue-writing relationships are developed through writing tasks, group activities, conferencing, dialogue journals, and teacher-written feedback.
This well-researched and theoretical treatment of the speaking-writing connection is likely to encourage more teachers to "socialize" their L2 writing classrooms.

Charles M. Fombad, "Constitutional Identity and Constitutionalism in Africa "
English | ISBN: 0198906307 | 2024 | 352 pages | PDF | 21 MB
In its modern history, Africa has experienced different waves of constitutional ordering. The latest democratisation wave, which began in the 1990s, has set the stage over the past decade for what is now a hotly debated issue: do recent, new, or fundamentally revised constitutions truly reflect an African constitutional identity? Thoughtfully navigating a contested field, this volume brings to the fore a number of foundational questions about African constitutionalism.

Constitutional Identity and Constitutionalism in Africa asks whether the concept of constitutional identity clarifies our understanding of constitutional change in Africa, including an exploration of the relationship between constitutional identity and a country's unique culture(s) and histories. Building on this, contributions examine the persistent role of colonial heritages in shaping constitutional identity in post-Independence African nations, and the question of path-dependency. Given the enduring influence of the colonial experience, the volume asks how, why, and to what end African constitutions must be 'decolonised' to form an authentic constitutional identity. This theoretical insight is supplemented and further deepened by detailed case studies of South Africa, Ethiopia, Cape Verde, Cameroon, and Egypt and their diverse experience of constitutional continuity and change.

Consuming the Romantic Utopia: Love and the Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism by Eva Illouz
English | May 29, 1997 | ISBN: 0520202759, 0520205715 | True EPUB | 332 pages | 5.7 MB
To what extent are our most romantic moments determined by the portrayal of love in film and on TV? Is a walk on a moonlit beach a moment of perfect romance or simply a simulation of the familiar ideal seen again and again on billboards and movie screens?

In her unique study of American love in the twentieth century, Eva Illouz unravels the mass of images that define our ideas of love and romance, revealing that the experience of "true" love is deeply embedded in the experience of consumer capitalism. Illouz studies how individual conceptions of love overlap with the world of clichés and images she calls the "Romantic Utopia." This utopia lives in the collective imagination of the nation and is built on images that unite amorous and economic activities in the rituals of dating, lovemaking, and marriage.
Since the early 1900s, advertisers have tied the purchase of beauty products, sports cars, diet drinks, and snack foods to success in love and happiness. Illouz reveals that, ultimately, every cliché of romance―from an intimate dinner to a dozen red roses―is constructed by advertising and media images that preach a democratic ethos of consumption: material goods and happiness are available to all.
Engaging and witty, Illouz's study begins with readings of ads, songs, films, and other public representations of romance and concludes with individual interviews in order to analyze the ways in which mass messages are internalized. Combining extensive historical research, interviews, and postmodern social theory, Illouz brings an impressive scholarship to her fascinating portrait of love in America.

This book showcases cutting-edge research on a variety of themes related to sustainable and impact investments. It sheds light, theoretically and empirically, on three particular contemporary challenges for sustainable finance: shifts in banking towards prioritizing sustainable growth, the rapid evolution of sustainable bonds, and the growing role of women in sustainable finance.

The first section of the book explores the benefits for banks and the financial industry from integrating sustainable finance into their business processes, as well as the role banks play in allocating resources towards a decarbonized economy. Chapters discuss risk reduction and the reputational boost for banks, as well as assessing the impact of new regulation frameworks targeted at sustainable growth. The second part examines sustainable financial products, with a focus on green bonds, and discusses how they can be used for long-term financing for sustainable projects, encourage accountability andtransparency, stimulate market growth, manage risk, and benefit the environment and society more broadly. The final section of the book takes an internal look at sustainable finance and addresses the significant role that women play, helping to develop more creative and practical solutions, serving as role models, and increasing involvement in the financial sector.
