Hidden beneath the rolling landscapes of modern-day Turkey lies an architectural marvel that defies belief. Discovered completely by accident when a man knocked down a basement wall in 1963, Derinkuyu is a massive, multi-level underground city capable of sheltering up to 20,000 people, along with their livestock and food stores. Featuring sophisticated ventilation shafts, deep wells, churches, and heavy rolling stone doors, it is a testament to the desperate ingenuity of ancient peoples. B...

These 'megapolitan' areas are networks of metropolitan areas sharing common economic, landscape, social, and cultural characteristics.The rise of 'megapolitan' areas will change how America plans. For instance, in an area comparable in size to France and the low countries of the Netherland...

Tunisian cinema is often described as the most daring of all Arab cinemas. For many, Tunisia appeared to be a model of equipoise between "East" and "West," and yet, during Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's presidency, from 1987 to 2011, the country became the most repressive state in the Maghreb. Against considerable odds, a generation of filmmakers emerged in the mid-1980s to make films that are allegories of resistance to the increasingly illiberal trends that were marking their society....

The distinguished group of scholars and clinicians assembled here are largely preoccupied with tracing the theoretical underpinnings of relational psychoanalysis, its divergence from traditional psychoanalytic paradigms, implications for clinical reform and therapeutic practice, and its intersection with alternative psychoanal...

This important text not only brings together a synthesis of Robert Langs' most important ideas and the latest developments in his thinking - many of them of utmost importance to all manner of therapists - it also presents them in a form that is accessible to the reader new to the communicative approach, as well as those with more experience.

The first in-depth psychoanalytic study of the Old and New Testaments, Beyond Yahweh and Jesus centers on God's role in enabling humans to cope with death and the anxieties it evokes. Yahweh is seen as tending to increase rather than diminish these death anxieties, while Christ offers near-perfect solutions to each type. Why, then, asks Dr. Langs, has Christ failed to bring peace to the world? Langs' answer is focused on what is, he argues, Western religion's lack of a deep unders...

He then discusses the technical issues connected with this, whilst introducing the controversial concept that mental activities are derived from immune system activities.
