Why democracy is the most effective form of government despite irrational (and sometime oblivious) voters and flawed (and sometimes inept) politicians.
Voters often make irrational decisions based on inaccurate and irrelevant information. Politicians are often inept, corrupt, or out of touch with the will of the people. Elections can be determined by the design of the ballot and the gerrymandered borders of a district. And yet, despite voters who choose candidates according to the boxer–brief dichotomy and politicians who struggle to put together a coherent sentence, democracy works exceptionally well: citizens of democracies are healthier, happier, and freer than citizens of other countries. In Democracy Despite Itself, Danny Oppenheimer, a psychologist, and Mike Edwards, a political scientist, explore this paradox: How can democracy lead to such successful outcomes when the defining characteristic of democracy—elections—is so flawed?
Oppenheimer and Edwards argue that democracy works because regular elections, no matter how flawed, produce a variety of unintuitive, positive consequences. The brilliance of democracy, write Oppenheimer and Edwards, does not lie in the people''s ability to pick superior leaders. It lies in the many ways that it subtly encourages the flawed people and their flawed leaders to work toward building a better society.

E. M. Forster's writings have enjoyed remarkable popularity since the early years of the twentieth century. Their strongly visual quality, vividly evoking the English landscape as well as the more exotic settings of Italy and India, has lent itself to adaptation in several highly successful films. Forster's masterpiece A Passage to India, has a powerful popular appeal and an assured place in the English literary heritage. This guide seeks to explore creatively the fascination of Forster's writing and to show how interesting ideas can emerge from close reading of extracts from the novels. The approach is open-minded. Readers are encouraged to think for themselves, enjoy evolving their own interpretations and have confidence in the judgements they arrive at. Detailed analysis brings out the delicate balance of the novels - the humour, irony and ambiguity underlying the urbane, readable surface, and their unique blending of realism, comedy and romance. The result is a deeper appreciation of the subtlety and range of Forster's ideas, the technical mastery of his work, and the unconventional cast of his mind.

Forensic Narratives in Athenian Courts breaks new ground by exploring different aspects of forensic storytelling in Athenian legal speeches and the ways in which forensic narratives reflect normative concerns and legal issues.The chapters, written by distinguished experts in Athenian oratory and society, explore the importance of narratives for the arguments of relatively underdiscussed orators such as Isaeus and Apollodorus. They employ new methods to investigate issues such as speeches’ deceptiveness or the appraisals which constitute the emotion scripts that speakers put together. This volume not only addresses a gap in the field of Athenian oratory, but also encourages comparative approaches to forensic narratives and fiction, and fresh investigations of the implications of forensic storytelling for other literary genres.Forensic Narratives in Athenian Courts will be an invaluable resource to students and researchers of Athenian oratory and their legal system, as well as those working on Greek society and literature more broadly.

This book showcases the importance of the soundscape for understanding the environmental crises that we face. It is also about the lost art of listening. This is crucial if we are to start building deeper resonances between human and more-than-human worlds. The book introduces a new approach to listening called Integral Listening (IL), one that helps people directly engage with interior and exterior soundscapes, which is the key to solving environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss. It provides a number of tools for engaging with the soundscape in ways that build empathy between the listener and the listened. It argues that empathy is central to our ability to create closer bonds with the more-than-human world; bonds that our ancestors, and the Indigenous peoples of the world, understood as being key to survival. As Edwards argues, science and technology cannot be relied upon to address issues that begin their life in our interior worlds. At its core, this book is a rallying cry for the creation of arts-based responses to environmental issues, responses that create hope, not despair.Providing essential reading, this book will be of interest to researchers, educators, and students in environmental studies, sound studies, and arts-based research. It will also appeal to musicians exploring new ways of crafting music from the soundscapes, well-being professionals benefitting from the concept of the interior soundscape and its ability to impact how people feel and community members who are on the lookout for ways to engage people with issues without creating feelings of powerlessness.

A dark, pacy and atmospheric journey of self-discovery from a debut author and performance poet.Tess lives in the “turns”, a network of tunnels under the River Tees, with her Aunt Peg and her monstrous Unkle Darkwater. When Aunt Peg starts to develop signs of dementia, Tess must find someone else to keep her safe. And she is beginning to doubt her aunt's stories about her origins, too. Tess longs to find out the truth about her family once and for all, but that will mean leaving the turns, and she has never been on dry land before – or mingled with dry-folk. Can she survive away from the river? And does she have the strength to take control of who she will become?

Now Dad is gone and the works are closed, towering silent and forbidding over the rundown estate. Then Jack stumbles upon Sal: a spindly old man with candles in his hair ... who asks Jack to set him alight. Sal claims to be a spirit of the old works, who needs Jack’s help to bring it back to its former glory. Jack is drawn to the man’s promises and the hope it holds for his whole family.
