  This book ventures a critical gaze at the image of the European Union beyond the crisis. Keeping in mind that crises constitute organic parts of all systems, the volume attempts to apprehend the EU’s losses, gains, challenges, and opportunities deriving from the crisis and assesses what constitutes a viable and integrated exit from the current predicament. Moreover, through dealing with the EU as an everlasting process rather than a completed edifice, the collection aims at charting the conceptual weaknesses which resulted in a crisis so acute and long-lasting and at opening a discourse on the future and the required reconceptualization of the EU.
  
  The project is based on three large and interconnected thematic pillars that relate to the European Union after the crisis:
  
  - Facets of parliamentarism in the EU in the context of the crisis,
  
  - Political cohesion and institutional integration,
  
  - Perceptions, images, stereotypes, and their impact on the process of social and political integration of the EU.

  Sports Hypnosis in Practice -...

  This book offers new strategies and scripts for hypnotherapists, sports counsellors and sports psychologists working with athletes to help them achieve their peak performance. A major focus of the book is that the therapist does not necessarily need to be familiar with the sport or activity to serve as a "mental coach" to the athlete. The athlete is instructed that the goal is not to improve the mechanics of their performance (that is left up to their coaches) but, rather, to help them to relax, concentrate and focus so that they fulfill their maximum potential. They learn not to let the mental side of their game trip up the physical side, but rather to enhance it.

  A man-made wonder, a connective network, an economic force, a bringer of blight and sprawl and the possibility of escape-the U.S. interstate system transformed America. The Big Roads presents the surprising history of how we got from dirt tracks to expressways in the space of a single lifetime.Earl Swift brings to light the visionaries who created these essential highways as well as the critics and citizens who questioned their headlong expansion throughout the country, including:Carl Fisher, the irrepressible car-racing entrepreneur who spurred the push for good roads in the early years of the automobile, built the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and made a fortune creating Miami Beach, only to lose it all;Thomas MacDonald, chief among a handful of driven engineers who conceived of the interstates and how they would work, years before President Eisenhower knew the plans existed;Lewis Mumford, the critic whose crusade against America's budding love affair with the automobile-and the ever bigger roads it required-now seems prescient;Joe Wiles, an African American family man turned activist, one of thousands of ordinary citizens in dozens of cities who found their homes and communities targeted by the concrete juggernaut-and were unwilling to be uprooted in the name of progress.In mapping a fascinating route through the dreams, discoveries, and protests that shaped these mighty roads, Swift shows that the interstates embody the wanderlust, grand scale, and conflicting notions of citizenship that define America.

  'For the Love of Soil' is a land manager’s roadmap to healthy soil and revitalized food systems in challenging times. Globally-recognized soil advocate and agroecologist Nicole Masters delivers solutions to rewind the clock on this increasingly critical soil crisis in her first book, For the Love of Soil. 
  Nicole declares peace with nature, and provides with the science and guidelines to regenerate landscapes, restore natural cycles, and rebuild rural communities. She shows how, with a soils first approach, we can bring vitality back to ecosystems, and human health. 
  This book translates the often complex and technical know-how of soil, into more digestible terms through case studies from regenerative farmers, growers, and ranchers in Australasia and North America. This is a must read for those interested in profitable, quality food production, climactic variability, carbon drawdown, water quality, reducing chemicals in the food chain, and human health. 
  "For years many of us involved in regenerative agriculture have been touting the soil health - plant health - animal health – human health connection but no one has tied them all together like Nicole does in “For the love of Soil!" -- Gabe Brown, Nourished by Nature.
