In recent decades, the lives of people in their late teens and twenties have changed so dramatically that a new stage of life has developed. In his provocative work, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett has identified the period of emerging adulthood as distinct from both the adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that comes in its wake. Arnett's new paradigm has received enormous worldwide scholarly attention. On the 20th anniversary of the publication of his groundbreaking work, this third edition of 'Emerging Adulthood' fully updates and expands Arnett's findings, and adds a new chapter on cultural and international variations.

By retracing the way in which maternal and parental work is supervised by a whole series of experts, this quartet of researchers lifts the veil on what parenting means today. The first edition, published a decade ago, was already a masterpiece and influenced the work of many. This updated edition is essential for anyone interested in the politicization of parenting issues. Claude Martin, Emeritus Research Professor, National Centre for Scientific Research, France Future historians will wonder why more researchers were not documenting and refuting the idea that today's kids are more fragile and helpless than any before them, and ditto, their parents. These authors peer behind the endless parenting advice, warnings and best practices to show us what is really going on when it comes to childhood, love, humanity, and the family. Lenore Skenazy, President, Let Grow, USA, and Author of Free-Range Kids Now in its second edition, Parenting Culture Studies seeks to understand how parenting is taken as a particular mode of childrearing that reflects broader social trends. Ten years after the initial volume's groundbreaking publication, the authors once again closely examine how the main aspects of parenting have been established, explored, and critically evaluated. Chapters revisit phenomena such as intensive parenting and politics around parenting, as well as controversial issues including policing pregnant women's bodies and parental determinism. In addition to updates throughout the volume, including those addressing literature that has built from the books original publication, the book features a new third part discussing parents dealing with risk assessment, school closures, contradictory care arrangements, and vaccine hesitancy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Originally published in 1977, this book provided the first analysis of the processes of political integration and devolution within the British Isles, taking account of the social, economic and cultural factors involved as well as the unique character of the political system, together with the growth of Scottish and Welsh nationalism. The book contains both an analysis of the nationalist movements of Ireland, Ulster, Scotland and Wales and a critical assessment of the way British central Governments have reacted to these movements.

The Soviet Union and Terrorism (1984) examines the extent of Soviet involvement in international terrorism, and the aims and objectives of Soviet foreign policy. It looks at the evidence of changing Soviet attitudes to terrorism from 1917 to the 1980s evidenced in official and semi-official pronouncements, and it brings together evidence from the field of terrorist operations which points to a high degree of Soviet involvement. The Soviet Union is shown to be playing a dangerous game, sponsoring activities which it cannot hope to control, and leading to effects which it cannot predict. Nevertheless, it continues to play because it gains from the political and military disruption to the countries affected by terrorist activities.

In this tenth edition of his award-winning introduction, John Storey presents a clear and critical survey of competing theories of, and various approaches to, popular culture. Its breadth and theoretical unity, exemplified through popular culture, means that it can be flexibly and relevantly applied across a number of disciplines.

In Philosophie und Sozialwissenschaften wird oft ein Zusammenhang zwischen der gegenwärtigen Gesellschaftsform und psychischen Krankheiten postuliert. Zwar ist es epidemiologisch umstritten, ob diesem als "Burnout" oder "Erschöpfungssyndrom" diskutierten Phänomen ein realer Anstieg psychischer Erkrankungen entspricht. Dennoch kommt im Begriff der Erschöpfung eine Dynamik von Beschleunigungsphänomenen zum Ausdruck, die ihm eine zeitdiagnostische Bedeutung verleiht. Der Band mit Beiträgen von u.a. Martin Dornes, Benigna Gerisch, Vera King, Cornelia Klinger, Hartmut Rosa und Gert Rudolf untersucht Phänomene von Überforderung und psychischer Krankheit aus interdisziplinärer Sicht und liefert damit Beiträge zu einem Psychogramm der heutigen Gesellschaft.
