Funerary Sculpture is the first volume on sculpture from the Agora in over 50 years, bringing together all the sculpted funerary monuments of the Athenian Agora, Classical through Roman periods, which were discovered during excavation from 1931 through 2009. The wide chronological span allows the author to trace changes in funerary monuments, particularly the break in customs that took place in 317 B.C., and the revival of figured monuments in the Roman period.
The study consists of three essays followed by a catalogue of 389 objects. The author places the Agora sculptural fragments within the greater context of Attic funerary sculpture, moving from a general to a specific treatment of the funerary sculpture. The first essay is an overview of the study of Attic types of sculpture; the second discusses the specific features of funerary sculpture from Athens and Attica; and the third examines the characteristics of the funerary sculptures found in the Agora, thereby forming an introduction to the catalogue that follows. The catalogue includes stelai and naiskoi with female and/or male figures, sirens, decorative anthemia, funerary vessels, lekythoi, loutrophoroi, animals, mensa, columnar monuments, and more. There are separate indexes of museums, names, demes, places, and findspots, as well as a general index.
This text provides a foundational understanding of therapeutic relationships and the transitional discharge model (TDM), a person-centered, evidence-based model that supports a smooth transition from hospital to community for people with mental illness
Starting with background into the ground-breaking work of Dr. Hildegard Peplau, the mother of modern psychiatric nursing, and moving towards a transdisciplinary transitional discharge perspective, chapters introduce students and practitioners to theoretical, historical, and current perspectives on therapeutic relationships as they relate to transitional care. These perspectives foreground empirical research and practical applications that can be implemented in hospital and community settings. The Appendix features an essential "TDM toolkit" with forms, learning topics, and checklists developed by programs that implement TDM.

Forgotten Friendships: Yugoslavia and the Anticolonial Francophone World examines transnational friendships and alliances between intellectuals from Yugoslavia and the Francophone African and Caribbean world during the mid-twentieth century. The book argues that transnational political friendships helped shape major intellectual movements like Négritude, African socialism, and global socialist feminisms, which surged beyond national, regional, and even diasporic spaces. Blending archival research, literary analysis, and biography, the book fills a significant gap in our understanding of how intellectuals from the Global South and the socialist world collaborated on shared goals of decolonization, anti-racism, and socialist worldmaking.
Forgotten Friendships emphasizes the ways in which writers, intellectuals, and activists envisioned alternative futures rooted in collaboration across peripheries. Personal bonds of friendship were not mere footnotes to the anti-colonial struggle, but vital political tools for rethinking global solidarity.
"Forgotten Friendships is a critical contribution to the understanding of the many intertextual and ideological networks that are at work in the making of global Francophone African and Caribbean Studies. Within the field of Francophone studies, this book is both necessary and groundbreaking. At a time when the digital has brought about an unprecedented globalization of the world, Forgotten Friendships reminds the student of Francophone literatures and cultural studies of some critical, if understudied, genealogies of the Global South."
-Cilas Kemedjio, University of Rochester
"This is a brilliant book, at times breathtakingly beautiful in its careful interweaving of the individual and the collective, the personal and the political, and the possibilities, as well as the difficulties, of relating across difference. By peopling the story of Yugoslavia's non-aligned commitment to the decolonial struggle, it forms a missing link between a 'top down' and a 'bottom up' approach to circuits of decolonial solidarity and non-alignment, reminding us of the artificiality of the distinction. The framing idea of friendship as both subject and method works perfectly."
-Paul Stubbs, The Institute of Economics, Zagreb
Few people pause to consider the living habits of mosquitoes as they swat away the pesky creatures. But biologist Curt Stager views plants and wildlife with particular consideration, interest, and awe.
Stager reminds us that many mosquitoes do not bite humans at all, and those that do are only females trying to feed their unborn young, risking death each time they do so. He includes twenty natural science essays that explore the lives of animals, plants, and fungi commonly encountered in the conifer and hardwood forests of northeastern North America.
With the same humor and personable ease that characterizes the popular weekly nature program that he coproduces on North County Public Radio-the show that provided the catalyst for this book-Stager draws on the latest scientific literature and on his own field observations to convey his curiosity about the natural world.
Exhaustivity, Contrastivity, and the Semantics of Mandarin Cleft-related Structures investigates the semantics of the cleft and cleft-related structures in Mandarin, which, over several decades, have presented analytical challenges for semantic theory.
The goal of this book, in broad terms, is three-fold: (i) to figure out what clefting adds to the semantics of a sentence; (ii) to set apart the meaning and the discourse function of each type of cleft-related structure; and (iii) to provide a uniform analysis of Mandarin clefts and their related structures. More specifically, it addresses the following questions: (i) what is the semantics of Mandarin clefts? (ii) what do exhaustivity and contrastivity contribute to the meaning of clefts? (iii) what are the semantic (or pragmatic) factors that determine the variation of clefts, related structures, and canonical sentences? and (iv) cross-linguistically speaking, how do Mandarin
