The acclaimed Top 10 Sunday Times bestseller on our search for love'Uncommonly wise and honest. Love in Exile flooded me with a sense of continuity and hope. A masterpiece, from start to finish' - Maggie NelsonShon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye's experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture.Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable. In this highly politicized terrain, boundaries are purposefully drawn to keep some in and to keep others out. Those who exist outside them are ignored, denigrated, exiled.In Love in Exile, Shon Faye shows love is much greater than the narrow ideals we have been taught to crave so desperately that we are willing to bend and break ourselves to fit them. Wise, funny, unsparing, and suffused with a radical clarity, this is a book of and for our times: for seeing and knowing love, in whatever form it takes, is the meaning of life itself.

Love in Exile

Studies in Energy, Resource and Environmental Economics

This textbook provides a clear and comprehensive economic perspective on energy transition, highlighting that it involves more than just replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. It discusses critical interventions in the optimizing decisions of economic agents to achieve a reliable and sustainable future.
Students learn about the conditions under which such interventions can improve societal welfare, building on the fundamental economic principle that optimal outcomes arise when coordination mechanisms function effectively.
The book explores key motivations and drivers behind energy transition policies, including the depletion of energy resources, energy security, environmental impacts of fossil fuel use, and the challenges of high and volatile energy prices. It provides detailed analyses of the efficiency, effectiveness, and distributional effects of various government policy measures, such as capacity mechanisms, energy taxation, renewable energy support schemes, and emissions trading systems.
In addition to a societal and governmental perspective, the book discusses the roles of stakeholders within energy systems – such as producers, grid operators and consumers, as well stakeholders within organizations—such as shareholders, employees, and customers—in driving the energy transition. While grounded in economic principles, it integrates insights from other disciplines, including engineering, law, and social sciences, to provide a holistic understanding of energy systems and their transformation.
Designed for students and scholars, this book equips readers with the knowledge and tools to understand the economic principles underpinning a reliable and sustainable energy future.

*A Next Big Ideas Club Must Read Book for May* *A Notable Book in BookRiot, LGBTQReads, The Daily Kos* For fans of Susan Cain and Jenny Odell, an indispensable, paradigm-shifting exploration of flamboyance—tracing its history and social significance through the lives of those who embody it and offering a roadmap for anyone looking to harness the power of their own inner flame Flamboyance ignites every aspect of our lives, from art and entertainment to ritual and protest. The word connotes an exuberance of thought and expression, and often, unbridled, unashamed passion. Yet historically the term “flamboyant” has been reserved for the over-the-top and the outré, invoked at times as a pejorative innuendo or worse. Celebrated author and scholar Jack Parlett digs into the nature of flamboyance to offer a new, empowering reframing of a quality that any of us can and should harness more regularly. From Judy Garland to Lil Nas X, Parlett highlights the stories of flamboyant figures throughout history to show how, by harnessing our own inner flame, we break free from cultural expectations that don’t serve us and live a brighter, happier, more audaciously fulfilling life.

Flamboyance

This open access book examines why citizens in democratic societies support or oppose restrictive alcohol policies. Drawing on more than two decades of data from Sweden, it provides a comprehensive and theoretically informed analysis of public attitudes toward key alcohol policy instruments, including alcohol taxation, the retail monopoly, licensing regulations, advertising restrictions, farm sales, and other proposals affecting alcohol availability and control. It also analyses how alcohol-related public opinion is shaped by social background, self-interest, value orientations, perceptions of alcohol-related harm, beliefs about the effectiveness of policy instruments, ideological views about responsibility, and trust in institutions. The book addresses a central problem not only in alcohol policy but also in democratic theory and public opinion research more broadly: under what conditions do citizens support policies that may constrain their own choices, impose costs, or reduce convenience in order to protect others and reduce collective harm?
 
 In doing so, it speaks to broader questions about democratic legitimacy, regulation, risk governance, and public support for interventions in liberal democracies.

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of India's path toward inclusive development, focusing on the socio-economic challenges. It explores the talked about&nbsp;
 Bharatiya 
 model, emphasizing equity, empowerment, and community participation in decision-making.
 
 The book is structured in four comprehensive sections. The introductory section establishes the framework of the 
 Bharatiya
 Model, challenging established economic paradigms and tracing economic concepts from ancient Indian literature. The second section, "Indic Market Economy," explores technological advancement, industrial growth, agricultural transformation, and digital innovation. The "Welfarism" section addresses critical social aspects including healthcare, education, poverty reduction, and women's empowerment. The final section, "Pragmatism," delves into fiscal policies, trade reforms, banking sector evolution, and taxation systems. Each chapter provides authoritative insights into India's development journey. The book presents detailed analysis of various initiatives and reforms, particularly those implemented or accelerated in the past decade, while offering historical context from 2001 onwards for comprehensive understanding. Through a blend of historical context and contemporary analysis, the book aims to illuminate India's approach to fostering growth while striving for social justice and sustainable development.
 The target audience includes three key groups: researchers seeking real-world data and analytical frameworks for studying India's growth trajectory; policymakers requiring evidence-based insights for crafting effective interventions across sectors; and corporate leaders looking to understand the complexities and opportunities within the Indian market. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars examining India’s socio-economic landscape. It offers a wealth of real-world data and insights on critical topics such as green economy initiatives, fiscal policies, and tax reforms, enabling policy makers to ground their work in reliable information.

India's Economic Evolution Towards Inclusive Development

Precarious Futures: Crime, Technology and the Web explores rapidly changing social relationships within an increasingly interconnected digital world. Challenging conventional understandings of cybercrime and questioning the continued adequacy of established criminological frameworks, it argues, inter alia, that relative deprivation, reworked as a form of post-industrial precarity, provides a powerful foundation for understanding crime and deviance in a hyper-connected, hyper-commercial neoliberal society. Drawing on empirical research, social theory, and contemporary debates on artificial intelligence, big data, surveillance, hacktivism, and digital power, the book examines how the Web has transformed opportunities for crime while reshaping the practices of governance and prediction. In doing so, Hamerton and Webber advance new theoretical models: temporal relative deprivation; the metaopticon; techniques of normalisation; and the precariousness of predictive systems, to explain the dynamics of crime and social control in an age of pervasive surveillance and artificial general intelligence. Precarious Futures advances a transdisciplinary critical digital criminology for understanding the uncertainties of the digital age. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of criminology and sociology, as well as researchers and practitioners in cyber security, computer science, artificial intelligence studies, and related fields.Christopher Hamerton is Programme Director in Criminology and Law at the School of Policy &amp; Global Affairs, City St Georges, University of London, UK.Craig Webber is Associate Professor in Criminology in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology at the University of Southampton, UK.

THE ETHICAL OCEAN

This open access book examines the work of the 17th-century Baroque painter, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1618-1682) - a figure who barely left the city of Seville - as a way of understanding globalization, its consequences, and its limits. Full of saints, friars, virgins, and Christs, or poor people and cheerful pícaros oblivious to social injustice, Murillo's painting has been considered representative of the Counter-Reformation and the exponent of an immobile, even introverted, society that regressed with the 'crisis of the 17th century'. Early Globalization, Spain, and Seventeenth-Century Seville introduces a global perspective by considering the Atlantic art market and developing comparisons with Protestant paintings and an analysis of Murillo's iconography alongside the social and political theory of his time. Such comparisons and analyses illuminate a different image, emphasizing the idea of a common European path towards modernity, individualism, emotional self-control and social change. The book also examines how Murillo's contemporaries interpreted his iconography. The study of different 'layers of globalization', going back to the analysis of the Christian tradition, reveals the existence of political utopias, positive forms of valuing work and an image of the community that, opposed to the development of the speculative economy associated with globalization, would characterize the European history, with all its contradictions. The result is a new and sharper understanding of the tensions created by globalization in the field of art, in the construction of imagined communities, and in social relations in the early modern era. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Pablo de Olavide University, Spain.

Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, Sport, Exercise and Social Theory is a concise and engaging introduction to the key theories that underpin the study of sport, exercise, and physical activity in society.Structured around C. Wright Mills's concept of the sociological imagination, the capacity to connect personal troubles to public issues and individual biographies to broader social structures, the book shows how theory can be used to debunk many of our traditional assumptions about sport and exercise, and how sport and physical activity can be a powerful window through which to observe and understand wider society. Designed to be used by students who have never studied sociology before, the book provides training in critical thinking and helps students develop intellectual skills that will serve them throughout their professional and personal lives. This new edition includes significantly expanded coverage of feminism and theories related to gender, including new material on the Manosphere, intersectionality, and the trans athletes debate, as well as completely new chapters on nationalism, decolonial perspectives, and ableism and disability. Every chapter includes updated cases and examples, from sportswashing and athlete activism to digital fan cultures, artificial intelligence, and the controversies around sporting mega-events, drawing throughout on the author's own internationally recognised research. Useful pedagogical features include 'Stop and Think' boxes, biographical notes on key theorists, and chapter summaries.This book is an essential companion to any course on sport and society, the sociology of sport, or the contemporary uses of social theory.Additional resources for instructors accompany this book, including classroom discussion topics and exercises, plus exam questions.

'Compelling and compassionate' Sadiq Khan 'Solutions-focused authorship at its best' Andrew Roberts 'A how-to book with inspired answers to our urgent questions' Lyse Doucet 'Read this book as an antidote to fatalism and gloom' Robert Peston 'Closely reported, surprising and, above all, hopeful' Jonathan Freedland At a time when democracies seem paralyzed by fear and populations are turning inward, award-winning journalist John Kampfner travels to ten countries confronting our shared challenges with bravery and imagination. - Taiwan's health system achieves 90% patient satisfaction at a fraction of the cost of the NHS. - Moroccan solar panels in the Sahara produce enough clean energy to power two million homes. - Estonia has transformed itself into a digital pioneer in a single generation - becoming the world's first fully digital government where 97.6% of citizens access state services online. - Costa Rica has tripled its economy while doubling its forest cover, proving that green policies can pay direct dividends. What unites these countries, and more, is a refusal to accept that difficult problems are unsolvable. The places showing true innovation are often those with their backs against the wall - not wealthy nations assuming they have all the answers. Braver New World is an urgent reminder that solutions exist. The question is whether we have the courage to learn. 'A persuasive and imaginative argument against the gloom of our times' Bronwen Maddox 'Seminal... A rallying cry for radical, pragmatic optimism; democratic and institutional courage' Shashi Tharoor 'A thought-provoking read, full of real ideas that could make Britain a better place' Lindsey Hilsum 'A must-read for Keir Starmer and anyone hoping to take over from him' The Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt

Social Marketing is a rapidly evolving field of study and practice. Originally stemming from the successful application of marketing techniques to help solve societal issues, such as obesity, smoking and domestic violence, the discipline has developed into an independent field with its own methodologies and traditions. In order to help further this effective field of study, this Encyclopedia provides students, scholars and practitioners with a comprehensive yet credible source of information that is multidisciplinary in perspective.&nbsp;
 Reflecting new developments as well as the state of the art,
 t
 his Encyclopedia provides an authoritative overview of the current field of social marketing. It covers various facets based on the numerous disciplines that support it, such as marketing, psychology, sociology, philosophy, management, economics and public policy, to mention a few.&nbsp;
 Three sections provide a clear outline of:<ul><li>Conceptual andprocedural tools, such as ethics, evaluation and key thinkers;</li><li>Social marketing techniques and interventions, including social media, digital campaigns and storytelling;</li><li>Varieties of applications of social marketing, such as health, inequality and crime.</li></ul>
 With coverage of theories, models, contexts and applications of social marketing, as well as contributions from global experts, this is the first definitive resource for scholars and students interested in using social marketing principles for the good of society.&nbsp;
