From F. C. Yee, the New York Times bestselling author of Avatar, the Last Airbender: The Rise of Kyoshi and…
Avatar, the Last Airbender: The Shadow of Kyoshi comes a thrilling chapter in the Chronicles of the Avatar series and a page-turning follow-up to Avatar, the Last Airbender: The Dawn of Yangchen. Common enemies make for strange friends . . . Avatar Yangchen has succeeded in bringing a measure of stability to Bin-Er, but her successes have been limited to a single city, and rumors concerning Unanimity—a weapon capable of total obliteration—have led to increasing tensions among the Four Nations. Desperate to restore diplomacy, Yangchen attempts to de-escalate hostilities between heads of state. But in the wake of a brutal assassination and the freeing of Unanimity, Yangchen is forced to bring Kavik—the trusted former companion whose betrayal crushed her—back into her fold. As the Four Nations teeter on the brink of conflict and she begins to unravel the power-hungry Zongdu Chaisee’s true agenda, Yangchen is forced to measure the worth of humanity and how much can be sacrificed in the name of balance. Avatar, the Last Airbender: The Legacy of Yangchen, the taut and provocative fourth installment in the Chronicles of the Avatar series, follows Avatar Yangchen as she charts the course of her legacy, finally making peace with her choices and facing Avatarhood with the courage it demands.

&“A thoroughly enjoyable story of heroism and true friendship&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), this is the true account of a…
German shepherd who was adopted by the Royal Air Force during World War II, flying countless combat missions and ultimately saving the life of his owner and dearest friend.In the winter of 1939, in the cold snow of no-man&’s-land, two loners met and began an extraordinary journey that would turn them into lifelong friends. One was an orphaned puppy, abandoned by his owners as they fled Nazi forces. The other was a different kind of lost soul—a Czech airman bound for the Royal Air Force and the country that he would come to call home. Airman Robert Bozdech stumbled across the tiny German shepherd—whom he named Ant—after being shot down on a daring mission over enemy lines. Unable to desert the puppy, Robert hid Ant inside his jacket as he escaped. In the months that followed, the pair would save each other&’s lives countless times as they flew together with RAF Bomber Command. Finally grounded after being injured on a flight mission, Ant refused to abandon his duty, and refusing food and sleep until they were reunited. By the end of the war, Robert and Ant had become true war heroes, and Ant was justly awarded the Dickin Medal, the &“Animal VC.&” With beautiful vintage black-and-white photos of Robert and Ant, The Dog Who Could Fly is a deeply moving story of loyalty in the face of adversity and the unshakable bond between a man and his best friend.

Step-by-step exercises to guide yourself through the IFS process and create inner harmony and peaceTransform the way you relate to…
yourself and your mental health struggles with this clear and structured guide to Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based approach to parts work therapy. The IFS model views every person as having an &“internal family&” of parts or sub-personalities, each with their own set of thoughts, feelings, and needs. These parts hold pain such as trauma and can create difficulties like anxiety or addictions, but when understood and accepted, they can release this pain and heal. Developed by a veteran IFS clinician who has lived, practiced, and trained others on the IFS model for over 25 years, The Self-Led Internal Family Systems Workbook can help you connect to your true, authentic Self—which is always inside of you, ready to lead—so you can meet your internal family of parts, respond compassionately when they act out, and send them healing energy when they need it. Key features of this workbook: Accessible Self-Paced Program. Move through the IFS process at your own speed and comfort level using IFS skills that have been adapted for beginners. Clear and Methodical Approach. Bring clarity and structure to your internal world by navigating it with step-by-step skills, exercises, and worksheets. Strategies for Common IFS Challenges. Learn to work with parts that keep you stuck in problematic cycles and avoid triggering deeply wounded parts. Transcripts of Self-Led IFS Sessions. See how an IFS clinician works with her own parts to address challenges like perfectionism, impulse control, and more.

This volume presents Ralph Waldo Emerson’s engagement with diverse philosophical traditions with the concurrent aim of showing the contemporary relevance…
of his Transcendentalism.As scholarship increasingly centers on Emerson’s place within American philosophy, this collection offers fresh insights into the expansive reach of his thought across Western and Eastern traditions, spanning the nineteenth century to the present. Featuring comparative analyses and innovative applications of Transcendentalism, it connects Emerson’s ideas to global philosophies, religions, and cultures. Thematically organized into three parts, the volume first situates Emerson within Romanticism and Platonism. Part 2 examines his metaphysics and his intersections with both Eastern and Western religious thought. Finally, Part 3 applies his philosophy to education, aesthetics, environmental ethics, and politics. The cosmopolitan essays in this collection situate Emerson not only within Western thought but also in dialogue with Greek, Buddhist, Islamic, and Vedāntic philosophies. Geared primarily toward scholars and advanced students, though accessible to well-informed casual readers, the contributions are meticulously researched and calibrated for specialists in American philosophy, literature, religious studies, and Emerson’s oeuvre.Emerson’s Affinities is essential reading for scholars and graduate students in American Transcendentalism, literature, philosophy, and religious studies.

Based on the author’s extensive experience of teaching microeconomics, this concise textbook is written specifically for introductory to intermediate courses…
in microeconomics. Instead of presenting a very large number of different cases and applications that can be overwhelming, the book focuses in on the key concepts in each topic, equipping readers with a solid understanding of these concepts so they are well set up to apply them to a wide range of other issues.It covers all standard topics but is especially focused on central ideas with respect to market power, externalities and asymmetric information, linking them to practice and empirical evidence. It also includes subjects that are partly novel for microeconomics textbooks: competitive selection when firms have different marginal costs, platform markets and auctions. Throughout, the book relies on calculus, encouraging the reader to solve problems like a professional economist, utilising the same set of tools over and over again to highlight the portability of the economic way of thinking.Supported by a wide-ranging selection of exercises with solutions, empirical examples, a mathematical appendix, links to step-by-step videos and PowerPoint slides, Microeconomics is suitable for studying microeconomics and microeconomic issues at the introductory to intermediate level.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution (CC-BY)] 4.0 International license.

This moving book examines the HIV epidemic in the UK through the lives of a range of individuals who worked…
tirelessly, but often quietly, to make a difference to those living and dying with HIV.From LGBTQ+ activists to healthcare researchers, from charity volunteers to writers and campaigners, the book shines a spotlight on a range of people who played crucial but unsung roles. From the first recorded death in 1981 through to the present day, these compelling stories illustrate the trajectory of the epidemic. Some were involved in the early stages when stigma and discrimination compounded the lack of treatment; others have helped to reach a place where, although HIV is still with us, it is no longer the existential threat it once was.Combining the personal narratives with an overarching historical context, his book will be of interest to social historians and medical sociologists, as well as professionals working in services dealing with HIV.

Islamisms: Navigations between the Nation-State and the Caliphate moves beyond viewing Islamism within the security/terrorism narrative by viewing Islamisms as…
various forms of postcolonial resistance to Westphalian models of governance, authority, and territorialisations. Islamist movements are in various ways denationalising key elements of the nation-state, including nation-state sovereignty, national solidarities, and legitimate violence. Islamist movements are constructing alternative geographies that are transforming the territoriality of the nation-state.Examining a wide range of Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brothers, Hamas, Hizbullah, Boko Haram, al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group (IS), the author advocates that in many instances an imperial framework, rather than the assumed nation-state model, is a more appropriate tool in analysing the motivations and strategies of Islamist movements, contending that the nation-state is just one paradigm for analysis. The book demonstrates the case for both nation-state and religious/historic understandings of political geographies to be considered simultaneously with regard to Islamism(s).This book is multidisciplinary, and will be relevant to students and scholars of religious studies, Islamic theology, history, politics of memory, post-colonial perspectives, sociology, political geography, and political anthropology. It will also interest policymakers wishing to broaden their understanding of political Islam.

Understanding important scientific concepts like matter, energy, force, and species is central to scientific literacy. But how do we learn…
scientific concepts? This book explains what research across distinct theoretical perspectives has taught us and then cuts through the diversity to offer a novel integrated account and a unified theory of conceptual change.Theoretical perspectives from science education, cognitive science, developmental psychology, the learning sciences, and the history and philosophy of science are often seen as competing alternatives and practical pedagogical recommendations diverge, sometimes even contradicting one another. Learning Scientific Concepts responds by explaining and evaluating prominent theoretical perspectives: the nature of concepts and conceptual development, in general, as understood in cognitive and developmental psychology; and theory change, knowledge-in-pieces, and situated/embodied/distributed perspectives on science concept learning, in particular. It then integrates these perspectives and proposes the Unified Theory of Conceptual Change (UTCC), building on Susan Carey’s foundational account of concepts and conceptual development in developmental psychology and Edwin Hutchins’ multilevel approach to analyzing cognitive systems in cognitive anthropology. The UTCC outlines a comprehensive modeling toolkit for making sense of how we learn scientific concepts at different levels of analysis.This book serves as a comprehensive guide for researchers, advanced students, and practitioners to the most important research on learning scientific concepts. In proposing a novel theoretical synthesis, it also suggests a way forward for researchers and offers practitioners a coherent and comprehensive story of what kind of instruction and curricular design is effective and why.

exposes the social, political, and historical thinking that influences the way birth spaces have been designed and looks at how they can be designed in future.The book starts by examining changing historical attitudes to childbirth and uses maternity and architectural policy and practice to develop this story. It explores both the idea of "fitting childbirth into the machine" and the resistance to this, along with the emergence of the idea of the birth environment. From there, it describes the best evidence we have on how the design of spaces impact on childbirth experiences and outcomes. Drawing on an international selection of case studies, the book gives the reader insights into regional differences in birth culture and environments across the globe and offers the opportunity to imagine birth environments of the future based on the most up-to-date evidence from medicine, midwifery, anthropology, design, and architecture.Including practical recommendations as well as big picture thinking, this book is written for all those with an interest in creating the best possible environments for childbirth as part of supporting a healthy start to a child’s life. It is especially relevant for midwives, and other maternity care practitioners and administrators.

In reconstructing the history of Modern Spiritualism, scholars have largely focused on its Anglo-American, French, and German developments, often overlooking…
the Italian context. Modern Spiritualism in Italian Literature and Culture (1765–1969) challenges this perspective by examining the Italian case as a space of intersection between transnational currents of thought and deeply rooted cultural traditions. From the Enlightenment to the occult revival of the 1960s, Modern Spiritualism in Italy engaged with scientific discourse, philosophical speculation, literary imagination, and Catholic doctrine, producing a hybrid intellectual landscape that remains largely understudied. This volume traces the circulation and transformation of spiritualist ideas across different media and disciplines, analysing their impact on literature, psychology, and science. By situating Italy within the broader European and transatlantic networks of occult knowledge, Modern Spiritualism in Italian Literature and Culture provides a new vantage point from which to rethink the historical evolution of modernity, belief, and the supernatural.

medical product’s user interface – safe, effective, and satisfying to use. The book presents many design principles in an artful manner, replete with interesting, real-world examples.Designing Simple Instructions for Medical Products provides motivation and guidance to create excellent instructions that accompany medical products. For too long, instructions have been discounted as a user interface component unworthy of significant investment. Consequently, many manufacturers have put limited effort into instructions, viewing them as obligatory. This book seeks to change the narrative about instructions for use by highlighting their importance and providing easy-to-follow guidance for creating compelling instructions that can increase user satisfaction. It addresses many broad topics, such as the instructional development process, page layout, writing style, and drawing attention to critical information. Then, it dives into specific topics, such as designing comprehensible graphics, incorporating information navigation cues, and writing concisely.The book will help anybody, from the novice to the experienced pro, tasked with designing instructions for a medical product. In turn, better instructions should help manufacturers produce demonstrably safe and effective products with clear benefits accruing to the healthcare system and to patients.

situational factors such as social, economic and historical events to influence refugee-host relations in Uganda.Drawing on the everyday lived experiences of host community members, cultural leaders, local political and refugee leaders, and relief organisations, including UNHCR, this book examines how cultural affinities between host communities and different refugee groups intersect with situational and structural factors to shape refugee-host relations. The book problematises viewing refugees as a homogeneous group and applies the insider and outsider theory to explore factors that underlie inclusion and exclusion in host communities’ relations with different refugee groups. Some refugee groups not only are socially, culturally and ideologically distant from locals but also practise forms of livelihoods which, in the hosts’ view, threaten economic life in the host communities. The host communities are particularly threatened by the cultural incongruence, which is believed to interfere with their way of life. The book provides knowledge and understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of refugee-host relations and offers key insights for guiding policy and practice, especially in countries that host large refugee populations.A valuable resource for researchers and academics in sociology, migration and refugee studies, and those interested to understand how cultural proximity influences refugee-host relations and how the diverse nature of refugees shapes their relations with host state and communities.

Gender Politics of Monetary Governance in Germany and the Eurozone provides a nuanced reading of how gender politics matter in…
monetary governance, contributing to a gendered critique of the political economy of Germany and the Eurozone and to efforts of ‘de-patriarchalising’ monetary and economic governance.While gender aspects of economic governance have increasingly been made visible in critical scholarship, less focus has been placed on the role of masculinities and monetary governance. This book shows that the intersection of gender politics and monetary governance plays a fundamental role in the making of the political economy. It argues that, materially, monetary governance amplifies gendered power hierarchies in (re)productive relations. Culturally, gendered narratives play an important role in establishing the credibility and legitimacy of monetary governance. They do so by metaphorically making sense of monetary policy through masculinised gender qualities of authority, (self-) control, toughness, while disavowing feminised qualities such as temptation and excess. The book shows how these narratives have been mobilised at key junctures to promote a prioritisation of monetary and fiscal ‘discipline’ in German economic history, the institutional design of EMU, and in the governance of the Eurozone crisis. These narratives are vital in producing opportunities for some and restricting them for others, enabling particular, hierarchical forms of accumulation while foreclosing possibilities for different ways of doing economic relations. Yet, meanings are contingent, incomplete, and open to challenge, and thus monetary governance can be re-signified to facilitate social thriving beyond the strictures of heteronormativity and austerity.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars researching International Political Economy, Gender and Politics, Men and Masculinity Studies, Economic Sociology and Cultural Economy, and European Studies.
