D. Cohen – författare

In this book, Derek Cohen studies the relationship of Shakespearean drama to the Western culture of violence. He argues that violence is an inherent feature and form of patriarchy and that its production and control is one of the dominant motives of the political system. Shakespeare''s plays supply examples of the way in which the patriarchy of his plays - and hence, perhaps, of modern Western culture - absorbs, naturalizes, and legitimizes violence in its attempts to maintain political control over its subjects.

This book is an attempt to explore Shakespearean drama from the vantage point of the oppressed, invisible, and silent individuals and collectivities constructed in the plays. It examines the ideological apparatuses which produce and naturalise oppression and the political structures through which that oppression is sustained. Derek Cohen is concerned to demonstrate the many ways in which political and personal life, always interdependent, intersect. contradict, and disrupt one another often in the interests of and to the advantage of the dominant social ideology.

In light of the ongoing war against terrorism, can the United States maintain its dedication to protecting civil liberties without compromising security? At stake is nothing less than the survival of ideas associated with the modern period of political philosophy: the freedom of conscience, the inviolable rights of the individual to privacy, the constitutionally limited state, as well as the more recent refinement of late modern liberalism, multiculturalism. Contributors evaluate the need to reassess the nation's public policies, institutions, as well as its very identity. The struggle to persist as an open society in the age of terrorism will be the defining test of democracy in the Twenty-first-century.

Sleep and dreaming are manifestations in higher organisms of a fundamental ''circadian rhythm'' of inactivity-activity. During the past thirty years, research has provided a great deal of new information about the phenomenom and phenomenology of sleep, and the relationship between sleep and wakefulness. This book aims to describe, organise and interpret some of this new knowledge in order to stimulate a greater appreciation of the role of sleep and dreaming in human adaptation. The study of sleep and dreaming provides a very special perspective on human functioning. It stands in direct contrast to more traditional paradigms utilised in psychology that place the locus of explanation of human behaviour in the ''external environment''

This volume offers a critical evaluation of seven major paradigms in psychiatry that have made significant contributions to our current under­ standing of human behavior and psychiatric disorder. It was stimulated by a meeting held in November, 1978. We met at Salishan Lodge, Oregon, to discuss some of the theoretical orientations in behavioral sciences which serve as a base for contemporary psychopathology. Each major paradigm is represented by both an advocate as well as a critic. Advocates of a position had each agreed to be criticized by an individual who may not have been particularly sympathetic to the paradigm being presented. Furthermore, the entire group of participants had ample time for discussion with both the proponent and the critic. The papers in this volume were completed following that meeting, and each author has had the benefit of the criticism and discussion. The editors believe that the unusual array of talented scientists and clinicians have made an important contribution to clinical science by elaborating their positions in the face of open discussion and are proud to be part of this body of work. We wish to thank each of the participants for helping to sustain a very high level of critical scholarly discourse, which provided the right ethos for probing some of the major conceptual models of psychopathology.

GW Canyon is a tech executive who builds aircraft navigation systems. He is competent, well-intentioned, and absolutely certain he understands the shape of the problem. What he doesn't know—what he may never fully know—is that the women around him have been reading the room for decades. Allison Tobias, his brilliant aeronautics partner, has already mapped three moves he hasn't considered. Connie Finley, Allison's closest friend, has been watching GW's emotional blindspots with the patience of someone who has seen this particular story before. And Tali Gold, the woman GW is about to fall in love with, is the most perceptive person in any room she enters—which means she's also the most dangerous.TwinStar opens with sabotage and closes with something more complicated: the beginning of a relationship between a man who believes he is the protagonist and the woman who has already written his next chapter. Sharp, romantic, and moving at altitude, it's a thriller built for readers who know that the most consequential intelligence in any crisis is usually in the passenger seat.For readers of Tana French and Sally Rooney—a literary thriller series where the women have always known the ending.Book 1 of the GW Canyon Journey series. Each book stands alone. The series rewards in order.

The mountains are on fire. Someone set them.When a catastrophic wildfire tears through the Colorado Rockies—killing dozens and erasing a community—it looks like weather and carelessness. Tali Gold knows otherwise. She's been in the crosshairs of powerful men her entire life, and she recognizes the shape of a hit. Getting out alive is only the first problem. The second is proving it without becoming the story.GW Canyon, her boyfriend, is the man who stands beside her without fully grasping what she's up against. He thinks the threat is political. Tali knows it's personal. The difference between those two readings will determine who survives—and who holds the power when the smoke clears.Fiery is the novel in the series where GW finally sees what the women in his life have always understood: that the most dangerous forces in American life rarely announce themselves. They arrive dressed as competence, family loyalty, and the national interest.A thriller built on the fault lines of wealth, power, and the particular fury of a woman who refuses to be erased.For readers who loved the domestic intelligence of Tana French and the emotional precision of Sally Rooney.Book 2 of the GW Canyon Journey series. Stands alone. Better in order.

She arrived at the edge of their marriage and made herself indispensable. That was the plan. It worked better than expected.Sharna Taylor is the most effective operative in the series—not because she carries a weapon, but because she reads people the way a diagnostician reads symptoms. She sees GW Canyon's need for steadiness and Tali Canyon's need for surrender, and she builds a strategy around both. What she doesn't account for is the journal she keeps. Or what happens when someone reads it.Set across the American West—canyon country, flathead lake, the high desert, a marriage under pressure—Watershed is the GW Canyon series at its most intimate. Tali in therapy, working to understand the architecture of her own compliance. GW, for once, not at the center of a crisis but at the edge of one he created. And Sharna, whose final diary entry may be the most honest document in the series.A novel about the women we let in, the damage we don't see, and the particular intelligence it takes to rebuild.For readers of Tana French and Sally Rooney—who understand that the most devastating things are usually said in private, and written down.Book 3 of the GW Canyon Journey series. Stands alone. Best after Book 2.

Elaine Ionello was a climber, a coder, and GW Canyon's most trusted friend. Then a bike courier hit her in a crosswalk, and when she woke up, something had shifted. Her mother noticed. Her neurologist noticed. Tali noticed.GW did not notice.Starfish is the novel where the series' central architecture becomes visible—a network of influence operating through neurological conversion technology, and a woman whose traumatic brain injury may be the only thing standing between its expansion and everything the Canyons have built. Elaine is the series' most complex figure: flawed, brilliant, partially reprogrammed, and more heroic for all of it. Her moral compass survives every rewrite. Barely.Part psychological thriller, part conspiracy novel, and entirely a story about what women know that the men around them don't, Starfish is the series' turning point—where the stakes become clear and the women who carry the actual intelligence of the story step fully into the foreground.For readers of Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad and Sally Rooney's careful, devastating character work—a series where the women have been paying attention from the beginning.Book 4 of the GW Canyon Journey series. Stands alone. The series rewards deeply in order.

GW Canyon, 54, Technologist and Investor, Dies in California.The obituary is accurate. It is also almost entirely beside the point.Solstice is the final novel in the GW Canyon Journey series, and it is the one where the series' true architecture becomes undeniable: GW was never the protagonist. He was the organizing intelligence that the women in his life built themselves around, against, through, and beyond. What remains after his death is not a void. It is Elaine. Allison. Amy. And Gaby—a new woman, with GW's history and none of his blindspots—stepping into a world that no longer requires his permission to exist.Sharp, elegiac, and occasionally very funny, Solstice closes a story about power, loyalty, neurological conversion, and the long reach of one man's belief that he was the center of his own life. He was loved. He mattered. And the women who loved him are already writing the next chapter.The conclusion of a literary thriller series that Tana French and Sally Rooney readers will recognize immediately: measured, devastating, and told entirely by the people who were paying attention.Book 5 of the GW Canyon Journey series. The payoff for everything that came before.
