Why can''t your loved one see their eating disorder is killing them?

Loving people with eating disorders is complicated, fraught with misunderstandings. You encourage your loved one to eat, but they withdraw and refuse. They might scream for you to stop trying to control them.

Why is eating so hard? Why can''t they see you want them healthy?

Karen Kay Smith, a recovering anorexic, uses illustrations from her own traumatic experience to help you visualize the distortion that is happening. Your loved one may be a Christian with a deep faith in God, but victims of anorexia and different types of eating disorders can''t see what they are doing to their bodies.

With Karen''s insight you will discover:

Karen draws from her faith and understanding of the Bible to show you the way to journey with your loved one toward healing. You are not alone and you will see: there is hope.

Ian Taylor and Karen Smith present a much-needed and full examination of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), covering its history and current activities. All the key areas are covered by accessibly written chapters, including:

In the current era of globalization and what appears to be the dominance of neo-liberal economic thought, UNCTAD has sought to make itself germane to ongoing international debates. The implications of this for the organization’s key remit, namely making the world a fairer place, are something that this book unpacks.

This exciting new textbook challenges the implicit notions inherent in most existing International Relations (IR) scholarship and instead presents the subject as seen from different vantage points in the global South.

Divided into four sections, (1) the IR discipline, (2) key concepts and categories, (3) global issues and (4) IR futures, it examines the ways in which world politics have been addressed by traditional core approaches and explores the limitations of these treatments for understanding both Southern and Northern experiences of the "international." The book encourages readers to consider how key ideas have been developed in the discipline, and through systematic interventions by contributors from around the globe, aims at both transforming and enriching the dominant terms of scholarly debate.

This empowering, critical and reflexive tool for thinking about the diversity of experiences of international relations and for placing them front and center in the classroom will help professors and students in both the global North and the global South envision the world differently. In addition to general, introductory IR courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels it will appeal to courses on sociology and historiography of knowledge, globalization, neoliberalism, security, the state, imperialism and international political economy.
