This book provides a detailed view of the author’s conception of ‘apocalyptic phenomenology’, referring to the revelatory and self-disclosing nature…
of phenomenological thinking, a thinking that is central to our philosophical traditions today.The concept of ‘apocalyptic phenomenology’, i.e., a phenomenological theology that discloses the ultimate ground of being, God in the form of divine revelation, is original. At the same time, it is rooted in the phenomenological tradition of Offenbarung (revelation, revealing) as the basic feature of phenomena. In the author’s view, reality is self-disclosing, ‘apocalyptic’, and thus he explains the connections between the original, biblical notion of apocalupsis and the important developments of our philosophical traditions leading up to the ‘theological turn of phenomenology’. The chapters are framed around a focus on newness and engage with the work of key thinkers such as Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Paul Ricœur, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Anton Günther.Apocalyptic Phenomenology will be of interest to scholars of both theology and philosophy.

thinkers.Planning is key to creating rich outdoor learning experiences, where children, educators and the environment can work together. This book supports practitioners working with children aged two to six (including Reception and Year 1) develop a flexible, observation-led approach to planning that places children at the heart of the process. Rather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all process, planning should be a dynamic, responsive practice that evolves with the needs of the children and setting. Through practical examples, this book demonstrates how well-planned outdoor spaces support children’s independence and problem-solving skills. Chapters include: The planning cycle – making planning accessible and achievable Guiding principles for effective outdoor learning Creating intentional environments that support children’s curiosity and development Observation, assessment and documentation made manageable Case studies from real settings and their outdoor planning journeys Features: Hundreds of full-colour photographs Reflective tasks and activities for staff development Practical tools for creating adaptable, child-centred plans This book empowers early years practitioners to design outdoor learning experiences that truly meet children’s needs. By focusing on the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of planning, it ensures that day-to-day practice is guided by meaningful aims and objectives – allowing educators to spend less time on paperwork and more time engaging with the children.

expansive overview of contemporary themes and issues throughout the intersections of the fields of fairy-tale studies, literary studies, and cultural studies.The first part considers global formations of the canon and acts to decolonize the field of fairy-tale studies, highlighting the diverse national histories and traditions of the fairy tale worldwide. It demarcates the complex history of the field of fairy-tale studies and demonstrates how the genre is rooted in different oral stories and narratives passed down in cultures around the globe throughout time. The second section outlines important critical approaches, including recent developments shaping fairy-tale studies today such as disability studies, diversity, ecocriticism, inclusivity, and intersectionality. Part three explores how fairy tales have been articulated through a wide range of forms and combinations of textual, visual, and sound media. This section foregrounds the versatility and adaptability of the fairy tale and, more specifically, how it intersects with different art forms and genres, including literature, illustrations, performing arts, and media outlets. Section four addresses sociocultural concerns in transnational fairy-tale cultures and literatures examining the connections between fairy tales and multivocal influences in modern adaptations and postmodern reimaginings, the undoing of colonization and appropriation, feminism, politics and activisms, the canon, and controversies over authenticity.This interdisciplinary collection draws on international perspectives from folkloristics, ethnology, ethnography, cultural and social anthropology, as well as queer and gender studies. It will be an invaluable resource for students and researchers interested in fairy tales and their developments over time and across cultures.

afresh our relationships of dominance with and affection for animals. It reviews how animals played a pivotal role in ancient civilizations, and still play a fundamental part in human lives, and looks at how many humans feel deep affection and other strong emotions towards animals. This book offers an understanding of human relationships with animals, providing an analysis of paradoxical human behaviour towards animals and a look at how empathy toward animals can be manipulated. Most notably, this book offers an in-depth look at Bègue-Shankland's adaptation of the famous Stanley Milgram’s experiment on submission to authority (this time, ordinary men and women are led to harm what they believe to be a lab animal (actually a robot) for the sake of science) to shed new light on what influences our behaviour and empathy towards animals. This book shows how much our relations with animals – from attachment to abuse – reveal our identity and our relations with others. It will provide a valuable resource not only to students and researchers studying human-animal relations, zoology, and human psychology, but also to a general reader interested in animal advocacy.

The legal and regulatory landscape for artificial intelligence is shifting, and this is the book that will equip you to…
navigate it with clarity and authority.Gathering contributions from leading experts in the field, this edited volume provides one of the first in-depth examinations of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) in its final form. It is not a mere commentary. Rather, it delivers a critical and structured analysis of how the AI Act will reconfigure the governance of digital technologies in Europe and beyond.The chapters engage closely with the legal text, unpacking its architecture, regulatory logic, and underlying normative choices. Key elements of the framework - ranging from high-risk systems and prohibited practices to conformity assessments and the institutional role of national authorities - are examined in detail, with an eye to both doctrinal coherence and regulatory practice.Importantly, the volume situates the AI Act within the broader EU legal landscape, exploring its intersection with instruments such as the General Data Protection Regulation, the Medical Devices Regulation, and other sector-specific regimes. In doing so, it exposes synergies, tensions, and unresolved questions that will shape implementation and enforcement.The analysis is not confined to the European context. Dedicated chapters on the approaches adopted in non-EU jurisdictions provide a comparative dimension, highlighting both shared concerns and diverging regulatory philosophies. The result is a richer understanding of where global AI governance may be heading and how fragmented or coordinated it might become.Designed for legal scholars, practitioners, regulators, and policy experts, this book is more than a reference: it is an indispensable guide to the law that will define Europe&’s approach to artificial intelligence for years to come.

by Djalma Brochado, it addresses the urgent need to recognize and criminalize severe environmental destruction as an international crime. The book tackles critical issues such as the challenges in defining ecocide, the historical development of the term, and its global legal implications. Readers will find an in-depth analysis of various legal approaches to ecocide across different jurisdictions, highlighting the diverse interpretations and enforcement mechanisms that have emerged. Brochado also examines the current gaps in international law that hinder the effective prosecution of environmental crimes and proposes frameworks for establishing ecocide as a recognized crime under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Additionally, the book evaluates real cases of large-scale environmental destruction, whether labeled as ecocide or not, that could serve as precedents for criminalization under international law. This analysis provides practical insights into how existing and future legal frameworks could be applied to address such crimes. One of the key strengths of this book is its detailed examination of existing penal codes around the world that incorporate ecocidal behavior, offering comparative insights and shedding light on potential legal models for global adoption. Brochado&’s work is particularly valuable for legal scholars, policymakers, and environmental advocates interested in the intersection of environmental protection and international criminal justice. The book not only provides a legal analysis but also engages in a broader discussion on the ethical and moral imperatives for protecting the planet, making it an essential resource for those seeking to understand and influence the future of environmental law.

oil and gas resources exploitation. The hydrofracturing, which forms a complex fracture network in deep reservoir rock, is a key technology for oil and gas flow and extraction. The propagation behaviors (such as deflection, penetration, and intersection) and fracture network morphology are crucial to the evaluation and control of oil and gas production. This book mainly introduces from the following three aspects, including deflection of fracturing fracture network disturbed by discontinuity in rock, deflection of fracturing fracture network disturbed by multiple fractures, propagation and deflection of fracturing fracture network in supercritical CO₂ fracturing. The book focuses on the numerical research progresses of deflection of fracturing fracture network disturbed by discontinuity and multiple fractures in rock, which covers the following main contents: (1) dynamic intersection and deflection behaviors of hydraulic fractures meeting granules and natural fractures in tight reservoir rock based on statistical modelling and fractal characterization, (2) deflection behaviors and fractal morphology of hydraulic fractures meeting beddings and granules with variable geometrical configurations and geo-mechanical properties, (3) dynamic propagation of tensile and shear fractures induced by impact load in rock based on dual bilinear cohesive zone model, (4) center- and edge-type intersections of hydraulic fracture network under varying crossed natural fractures and fluid injection rate, (5) wells connection and long hydraulic fracture induced by multi-well hydrofracturing utilizing crossed perforation clusters, (6) deflection of fracture networks and gas production in multi-well hydrofracturing utilizing parallel and crossed perforation clusters, (7) supercritical CO₂-driven intersections of multi-well fracturing fracture network and induced micro-seismic events in naturally fractured reservoir. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable reference guide for researchers, postgraduates and undergraduates majoring in engineering mechanics, mining engineering, petroleum engineering, geotechnical engineering, and geological engineering.

ist bis heute nur wenig bedacht worden. Heideggers Beitrag zu einer Philosophie der Lebenskunst wird besonders deutlich in den gemeinsam mit Medard Boss abgehaltenen Zollikoner Seminaren, in denen durch die Aufhebung einer strikten Trennung von Pathologie und existenzieller Not Psychotherapie und Lebenskunst enger zusammenrücken. Mit dem Konzept der Sorge bereitet Heidegger den Boden für eine anthropologische Daseinsanalyse, von der aus sich retrospektiv zentrale Motive seines Denkens in den Blick nehmen lassen. Von der Gelassenheit, mit der im Zuge fundamentaler Technikkritik ein Verzicht auf letzte Antworten angesprochen ist, über die Kritik einer Übertragung wissenschaftlicher Denkweisen auf Sein und Dasein bis hin zu Fragen nach Freiheit, Politik, Religion und Tod finden sich zahlreiche Anknüpfungspunkte, um der Lebenskunst als gehaltvollem Topos der Philosophie nachzugehen.
