Casa editrice: Bentham Science Publishers

Sinossi

Loneliness has been described by modern psychologists as a 21st century epidemic, as it has been the subject of numerous news headlines in many regions. While many elderly people are affected by loneliness, the phenomenon has been increasingly observed by sociologists in younger individuals as well, including adolescents and university students. The correlates of loneliness is a collection of articles written by leading experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, social work and education, which examine how loneliness affects the various aspects of human lives, such as mental health, relationships, growing up, educational experiences, and the ability to be and remain an integral part of society.  
The book explains the concept of loneliness in psychological theory and presents a few studies on loneliness among different populations (including a case study on Finnish people).
Written in a clear and systematic manner, The correlates of loneliness is the definitive beginners reference on the topic of loneliness for academicians, sociologists, psychiatrists and general readers.

History of Toulouse

Henri Ramet

Plunge headlong into the heart of Toulouse: this audiobook vividly restores, with captivating precision, the epic of a major Midi city—from its Celtic origins to the Roman era, from Visigothic splendor to the dramas of the Albigensian Crusade, and on to municipal affirmation and medieval intellectual growth. Discover a crossroads city shaped by its Garonne River, ramparts, markets, religious orders, and capitouls; a melting pot of arts, law, and faith where troubadours, builders, merchants, and jurists intertwine. Henri Ramet, a magistrate-historian of luminous rigor, weaves a clear, dense, and sensitive fresco: living topography, resurrected monuments, explained institutions, major crises recounted at street level (Taur, Daurade, Saint-Sernin, Château Narbonnais), never sacrificing emotion to knowledge. Narration breathes life and rhythm into this urban chronicle, turning archives and stones into characters. For those who love concrete history, world-cities, and collective destinies, here is a broad, scholarly, and vibrant journey—where one feels the heartbeat of "Palladian" Toulouse, century after century. An instant classic for understanding, seeing, and loving the pink city differently.

Dismantling Global White...

Chandran Nair

White privilege damages and distorts societies around the world, not just in the United States. This book exposes its pervasive global reach and creates a new space for discourse on worldwide racial equality. 
 
In mid-2020, during the protests in the United States after the murder of George Floyd, over one hundred other countries held solidarity protests. These demonstrations often decried racial injustice and structural discrimination in their own societies. But no books have been written for a general audience describing the insidious role of white supremacy around the world. 
 
Chandran Nair argues that white privilege is the best way to understand how oppression and dominance by Western cultures operates. Touching on history, business, environment, entertainment, media fashion, education, and more, he analyzes how it has shaped, repressed, and destroyed local cultures to seek and preserve white economic power. 
 
Nair identifies white privilege as the driving force behind globalization, being constantly upheld and reproduced by a global superstructure that perpetuates widespread white economic and military dominance. This book provides a middle ground between brief media mentions and the dense rhetoric of racial politics so readers can develop a new worldview around dismantling white privilege at the global scale.
