Freud's Russia National Identity in the Evolution of Psychoanalysis

Freud's Russia National Identity in the Evolution of Psychoanalysis

Freud's lifelong involvement with the Russian national character and culture is examined in James Rice's imaginative combination of history literary analysis and psychoanalysis. 'Freud's Russia' opens up the neglected Eastern Front of Freud's world-the Russian roots of his parents colleagues and patients. He reveals that the psychoanalyst was vitally concerned with the events in Russian history and its nineteenth-century cultural greats. Rice explores how this intense interest contributed to the evolution of psychoanalysis at every critical stage. Freud's mentor Charcot was a physician to the Tsar; his best friends in Paris were gifted Russian doctors; and some of his most valued colleagues (Max Eitingon Moshe Wulff Sabina Spielrein and Lou Andreas-Salome) were also from Russia. These acquaintances intrigued Freud and precipitated his inquiry into the Russian psyche. Rice shows how Freud's major works incorporate elements overtly and covertly from his Russia. He describes Freud's most famous case the Wolf-Man (Sergei Pankeev) and traces how his personality fused in Freud's imagination with that of Feodor Dostoevsky. Beyond this Rice reveals the remarkable influence Dostoevsky had on Freud surveying Freud's extensive library holdings and sources of biographical information on the Russian novelist. Initially inspired by the Freud-Jung letters that appeared in 1974 'Freud's Russia' breaks new ground. Its fresh perspective will be of significant interest to psychoanalysts historians of European culture biographers of Freud and students of Dostoevsky in comparative literature. It is a major work in fusing European intellectual history with the founding father of psychoanalysis. | Freud's Russia National Identity in the Evolution of Psychoanalysis

Hitting Pause 65 Lecture Breaks to Refresh and Reinforce Learning

Hitting Pause 65 Lecture Breaks to Refresh and Reinforce Learning

Pauses constitute a simple technique for enlivening and enhancing the effectiveness of lectures or indeed of any form of instruction whether a presentation or in an experiential setting. This book presents the evidence and rationale for breaking up lectures into shorter segments by using pauses to focus attention reinforce key points and review learning. It also provides 65 adaptable pause ideas to use at the opening of class mid-way through or as closers. Starting with brain science research on attention span and cognitive load Rice bases her book on two fundamental principles: shorter segments of instruction are better than longer ones and learners who actively participate in instruction learn better than those who don’t. Pausing helps teachers apply these principles and create student engagement without requiring major changes in their lesson plans. With careful planning they can integrate pauses into learning sessions with ease and significantly reinforce student learning. They will also gain feedback on students’ comprehension. Rice sets out the characteristics of good pauses gives advice on how to plan them and how to introduce them to maximum effect. She provides compelling examples and concludes with a repertory of pauses readers can easily modify and apply to any discipline. This book contains a compendium of strategies that any teacher can fruitfully use to reinforce learning as well as a stepping stone to those seeking to transition to more active learning methods. It:• Makes the case for using pauses• Identifies the primary functions of pauses: focusing refocusing enhancing retention or closing off the learning experience • Provides research evidence from cognitive science and educational psychology• Provides practical guidance for creating quick active learning breaks• Distinguishes between starting middle and closing pauses • Includes descriptions with suggested applications of 65 pauses | Hitting Pause 65 Lecture Breaks to Refresh and Reinforce Learning

The Imperial Patronage of Labor Genre Paintings in Eighteenth-Century China

The Imperial Patronage of Labor Genre Paintings in Eighteenth-Century China

This book examines the agrarian labor genre paintings based on the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving that were commissioned by successive Chinese emperors. Furthermore this book analyzes the genre’s imagery as well as the poems in their historical context and explains how the paintings contributed to distinctively cosmopolitan Qing imagery that also drew upon European visual styles. Roslyn Lee Hammers contends that technologically-informed imagery was not merely didactic imagery to teach viewers how to grow rice or produce silk. The Qing emperors invested in paintings of labor to substantiate the permanence of the dynasty and to promote the well-being of the people under Manchu governance. The book includes English translations of the poems of the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving as well as other documents that have not been brought together in translation. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history Chinese history Chinese studies history of science and technology book history labor history and Qing history. | The Imperial Patronage of Labor Genre Paintings in Eighteenth-Century China

East Asia and Food (In)Security

East Asia and Food (In)Security

This book presents a study of perceptions of food insecurity in East Asia and explores how individual countries are developing strategies to deal with the situation. It also looks at how the perception of food insecurity has increasingly influenced the nature of international interactions not just within East Asia but also in the region’s relations with major external actors. Many of the challenges facing East Asia are generic food security issues that face people and governments across the world – for example the implications of climate change and demographic changes on food supplies. This book places the East Asian context in the wider discussion of food (in)security in global politics. However it also identifies potential regional ‘differences’ – for example the significance of rice for the region and the unavoidable impact of China as a major regional player. What the Chinese state and Chinese companies decide to do in response to concerns about food insecurity have an impact not just on the rest of the region but on the rest of the world. Taking too much of a Sinocentric focus however ignores other actors in East Asia or merely relegates discussion to how they respond to Chinese policies or external strategies. This book considers the region as a whole both when it comes to thinking about food security challenges and responses within the region itself and also in the outward projection of regional food insecurity on the rest of the world. This book was published as a special issue of The Pacific Review. | East Asia and Food (In)Security

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

This book explains how True Cost Accounting is an effective tool we can use to address the pervasive imbalance in our food system. Calls are coming from all quarters that the food system is broken and needs a radical transformation. A system that feeds many yet continues to create both extreme hunger and diet-related diseases and one which has significant environmental impacts is not serving the world adequately. This volume argues that True Cost Accounting in our food system can create a framework for a systemic shift. What sounds on the surface like a practice relegated to accountants is ultimately a call for a new lens on the valuation of food and a new relationship with the food we eat starting with the reform of a system out of balance. From the true cost of corn rice and water to incentives for soil health the chapters economically compare conventional and regenerative more equitable farming practices in and food system structures including taking an unflinching look at the true cost of cheap labour. Overall this volume points towards the potential for our food system to be more human-centred than profit-centred and one that has a more respectful relationship to the planet. It sets forth a path forward based on True Cost Accounting for food. This path seeks to fix our current food metrics in policy and in practice by applying a holistic lens that evaluates the actual costs and benefits of different food systems and the impacts and dependencies between natural systems human systems agriculture and food systems. This volume is essential reading for professionals and policymakers involved in developing and reforming the food system as well as students and scholars working on food policy food systems and sustainability. | True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Precision agriculture (PA) involves the application of technologies and agronomic principles to manage spatial and temporal variation associated with all aspects of agricultural production in order to improve crop performance and environmental quality. The focus of this book is to introduce a non-specialist audience to the the role of PA in food security environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources as well as its economic benefits. The technologies covered include yield monitors and remote sensing and the key agronomic principles addressed are the optimal delivery of fertilizers water and pesticides to crops only when and where these are required. As a result it is shown that both food production and resource efficiency can be maximized without waste or damage to the environment such as can occur from excessive fertilizer or pesticide applications. The authors of necessity describe some technicalities about PA but the overall aim is to introduce readers who are unfamiliar with PA to this very broad subject and to demonstrate the potential impact of PA on the environment and economy. The book shows how farmers can place sustainability of the environment at the centre of their operations and that this is improved with the application of PA. The range of topics described includes sampling and mapping weed and pest control proximal and remote sensing spatio-temporal analysis for improving management management zones and water management. These are illustrated with case studies on sampling and mapping biofuels from sugar cane and maize paddy rice cultivation and cotton production.
