producers, and celebrity fans reveal the struggles and triumphs of women both behind and in front of the camera throughout the sixty-year history of Star Trek, and how they have mirrored the experiences of women everywhere.Nana Visitor, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine&’s Kira Nerys, explores how the series has portrayed and influenced women. Interviews—with the stars, writers, producers, and audience members from all walks of life, including a politician and an astronaut—highlight the struggles and triumphs of women both behind and in front of the camera throughout the sixty-year history of Star Trek, and how they have mirrored the experiences of women everywhere. The groundbreaking casting of Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura in 1966 was a paradigm shift for women and people of color. Pioneering is no picnic, and she planned to leave the show until none other than the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. contextualized her appearance in people&’s living rooms across America as a way for people of color to know they were indeed an important part of the future. Since then, each Star Trek show has both reflected the values of its time and imagined a future of equality. In her first book, Open a Channel: A Woman&’s Trek, Nana Visitor sets out to discover both how Star Trek led the way for women, and how each show was trapped in its own era. For Visitor, this is more than a book about Star Trek. It&’s also about how society and the stories we tell have evolved in the last sixty years, and how the role of women has changed in that time. STAR AUTHOR: Written by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actor Nana Visitor, famous for playing Major Kira Nerys. This is both her story and her journey through the stories of other women involved with Star Trek from the 1960s to the 21st century. EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS: Features interviews with more than a dozen women who starred in Star Trek, including Kate Mulgrew, Sonequa Martin-Green, Terry Farrell, Gates McFadden, Denise Crosby, Tawny Newsome, and Jess Bush. INSPIRING STORIES: Explore how Star Trek has influenced women in the real world, including soldiers, scientists, and even astronauts. For the book, author Nana Visitor visited ESA HQ and interviewed astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti while she was in orbit around Earth on the International Space Station. PIONEERING SERIES: Following the humanistic tenets of creator Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek, throughout the decades, led the way in promoting diversity. Youths who grew up with Captain Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager, for example, not only learned to accept a woman as a leader but were also able to expand what they could imagine for themselves. The book makes clear how important storytelling is, and how the storytelling of Star Trek has had a profound effect on its audience.

The edited book follows a systematic and situation-sensitive approach for discussing the socio-ecological, economic, cultural, and traditional perspectives of using…
and promoting wild edibles. This can help in building social-ecological resilience by addressing nutritional, climate and conservation challenges in the Anthropocene. Chapters significantly emphasize on the history, theory, future, and innovations as the main pillars of endorsing wild edibles for localizing various UN SDGs, and other relevant international promises related to climate, conservation of biodiversity and restoration of degraded landscapes. A special focus has been set on advances and opportunities for wild edibles, challenges related to sustainable harvesting concerns, and constraints of market places, accessibility, domestication. This is followed by case studies presenting the part of wild edibles in addressing food sovereignty, promoting socio-ecological resilience and sense of belongingness among locals. Chapters cover the latest evidence-based approach in diagnosis and management of ecosystems from Africa, Europe, North and South America, South Caucasus region of Eurasia, North, South and Southeast Asia. Case studies help to understand implications and concerns of promoting wild edibles as future food in a fast-expanding and climate vulnerable world. Chapters cover present-day issues and challenges dealing with food security and sovereignty, sustainability and environmental change. They incite at taking the knowledge and practices of IPLCs as models. They also attempt to strengthen and enrich the knowledge base on diverse related complex issues related to wild edibles by integrating the values and importance of biodiversity, threatened species and ecosystems, and emerging drivers of biodiversity loss. The volume highlights how harvesting and consuming wild edibles enhance nutritional security, health benefits, climate resilience, improve economic opportunities and trade-offs for long-term sustainability. The volume shows as well that supporting future food species would influence the ecosystem and biodiversity-inclusive SDG localization, and also reduce land degradation due to agriculture intensification. The emerging roles of integrative socio-ecological as well as techno-cultural factors in promoting and including wild species as nutritional support are key features of this book.

This book provides a groundbreaking examination of the interplay between culture and politics in Indigenous psychology, a field that challenges…
the perceived universality of Western psychological norms by emphasizing the cultural specificity of local communities. By assembling leading experts and innovative research from across five continents, the book addresses the under-theorized relationship between culture and politics, two central pillars of Indigenous psychology. Contributors to this volume employ a cultural politics approach, an interdisciplinary lens that encourages critical inquiry into everyday practices and structural issues such as globalization, racial relations, and power dynamics. The book delves into the mechanisms of colonization, the ongoing tension between contextualists and globalists in psychological science, and the role of indigenous resistance in shaping future applications of Indigenous psychology. It concludes with a critical reflection on the achievements and limitations of the Indigenous psychology movement to date. This volume is an essential resource for scholars and practitioners of Indigenous psychology, as well as those engaged in sociology, anthropology, political science, Marxism, and the philosophy of science. It invites readers to rethink the foundational elements of psychology through the lens of cultural and political dynamics.

A reframing of the history of 1960s New York avant-garde art centered on the queer, genre-bending criticism of Gene Swenson…
and Jill Johnston. In the early 1960s, Gene Swenson and Jill Johnston began to imagine art criticism as something unruly and expansive, rejecting modernist appeals to purity and coherence that had overtaken the field. These critics were deeply enmeshed in New York’s avant-garde art scene, and both were explicitly and unapologetically queer. First working independently of one another, then later in dialogue, Swenson and Johnston demanded criticism become life-sustaining, subverting protocols and distorting its form beyond recognition. They utilized criticism as a means of navigating queer existence and reclaimed terms like lesbian, homosexual, mad, and psychotic as their own. Jennifer Sichel follows the intertwined paths of Swenson and Johnston, providing a history of queer practices that were central to the development of avant-garde art but have been largely overlooked. Criticism Without Authority makes their work visible not just as criticism, but as its own form of art. As Sichel shows, Swenson's and Johnston’s practices, bucking categories and disciplinary formations, resist historical streamlining and stand as a key for unlocking the queerness of postwar art history.

This book explores the development of a feminist-informed mental health peer support website co-designed with and for young women, filling…
a critical gap in theoretical and practical knowledge. Gendered violence and other forms of gender inequality play a significant role in the unequal burden of mental health problems faced by women. Whilst new and emerging online mental health resources hold promise as an adjunct to traditional face-to-face mental health support, they are predominantly designed for mixed gender audiences and do not connect specifically with diverse young women&’s mental health with their gendered lived experiences. This work seeks to address this. Specifically tailored to social workers and other allied health professionals in practice, academics, and higher degree research students, this book offers an example of integrated research and practice methods using design thinking and co-design methodologies framed within a feminist understanding of gendered experiences of mental health and wellbeing. Written with early career researchers in mind, the book provides a practical guide to undertaking interdisciplinary learning and action research projects.

of nation-building in postcolonial Southeast Asia. It provides readings of Southeast Asian literatures in a comparative context, demonstrating how such readings enable texts to engage with issues connected to postcolonial nation-building across the region. Such issues include social exclusion, urbanization and environmental destruction, post-war traumas, animal narratives, migration, identity, gender, and literature, and politics. In doing so, this book moves beyond traditional comparative literature which is overwhelmingly rooted in Western literature and scholarship. To this end, it an invitation to decolonize comparative literature as a discipline. Few studies have attempted to examine the alternative non-western literary traditions that emerge from this specific Asian region, and so this book presents a rich combination of theoretical and critical studies that contribute to advancing the discipline of comparative literature in Southeast Asian geographies. It is relevant to scholars working in Asian literature, comparative literature, and in postcolonial frameworks in philosophy and cultural studies.

This book examines how Gabriele D&’Annunzio (1863–1938) reimagined the Renaissance as a metaphor for Italy&’s national rebirth. Rather than a…
nostalgic revival, the Renaissance became, in his hands, a future-oriented ideological project that served as the backbone of his ethnonationalist worldview. Tracing how modernist temporality intersects with historical mythmaking and nationalist discourse, the book positions D&’Annunzio within broader European debates on decadence, modernity, and regeneration. It also reconsiders his role as a public intellectual whose mythmaking shaped Italy&’s cultural identity and modern ambitions. By highlighting the strategic mobilization of tradition, this study assesses the significance of D&’Annunzio&’s Renaissance ideology within the cultural politics of European modernism. In an era of resurgent far-right ideologies and nationalist imaginaries across Europe and beyond, revisiting figures like D&’Annunzio is essential to understanding how historical myths have shaped past political narratives and continue to influence those of the present.

The problem of loneliness has increased dramatically over the last 25 years. Loneliness presents a threat to the mental, emotional,…
and even physical well-being of the lonely individual. This statement is borne out in much research, and the alarming threat that loneliness presents is such that the U.S. Surgeon General issued an 82-page advisory in 2023 on what he called an &“epidemic&” of loneliness. Here in this Handbook of Loneliness, are gathered experts on loneliness from all over the world, in multiple disciplines, in which they discuss the results of their research and that of their colleagues on a wide range of topics related to understanding loneliness. The Springer Handbook of Loneliness is an invaluable reference for anyone seeking a wide-ranging, deeper understanding of the causes and effects of loneliness, and how loneliness can be reduced.

Based on unprecedented access to the corporation’s archives, The Intel Trinity is the first full history of Intel Corporation—the essential…
company of the digital age— told through the lives of the three most important figures in the company’s history: Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove.Often hailed the “most important company in the world,” Intel remains, more than four decades after its inception, a defining company of the global digital economy. The legendary inventors of the microprocessor-the single most important product in the modern world-Intel today builds the tiny “engines” that power almost every intelligent electronic device on the planet.But the true story of Intel is the human story of the trio of geniuses behind it. Michael S. Malone reveals how each brought different things to Intel, and at different times. Noyce, the most respected high tech figure of his generation, brought credibility (and money) to the company’s founding; Moore made Intel the world’s technological leader; and Grove, has relentlessly driven the company to ever-higher levels of success and competitiveness. Without any one of these figures, Intel would never have achieved its historic success; with them, Intel made possible the personal computer, Internet, telecommunications, and the personal electronics revolutions.The Intel Trinity is not just the story of Intel’s legendary past; it also offers an analysis of the formidable challenges that lie ahead as the company struggles to maintain its dominance, its culture, and its legacy.With eight pages of black-and-white photos.

Constitution from the right-wingers who think that they and only they know how to interpret it.Ed Asner, a self-proclaimed dauntless Democrat from the old days, figured that if the right-wing wackos are wrong about voter fraud, Obama’s death panels, and climate change, they are probably just as wrong about what the Constitution says. There’s no way that two hundred-plus years later, the right-wing ideologues know how to interpret the Constitution. On their way home from Philadelphia the people who wrote it couldn’t agree on what it meant. What was the president’s job? Who knew? All they knew was that the president was going to be George Washington and as long as he was in charge, that was good enough. When Hamilton wanted to start a national bank, Madison told him that it was unconstitutional. Both men had been in the room when the Constitution was written. And now today there are politicians and judges who claim that they know the original meaning of the Constitution. Are you kidding? In The Grouchy Historian, Ed Asner leads the charge for liberals to reclaim the Constitution from the right-wingers who use it as their justification for doing whatever terrible thing they want to do, which is usually to comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted. It’s about time someone gave them hell and explained that progressives can read, too.
