William Godwin è stato indubbiamente uno dei maggiori pensatori radicali inglesi, tanto radicale da essere classificato tra i pionieri del pensiero anarchico. E in effetti, deluso dalla Rivoluzione francese e in particolare dalla dittatura giacobina che ne era seguita, elabora un ordinamento sociale fondato sul decentramento amministrativo e giudiziario, sulla costruzione di libere comunità indipendenti e sull'abolizione del governo centrale. La visione sociale e politica da lui delineata a cavallo tra il XVIII e il XIX secolo è dunque quella di un mutamento graduale capace di liberare la società dallo Stato, ma al contempo solidamente fondato su un'etica insieme individualista e comunitaria. Questa antologia offre per la prima volta in italiano una scelta dei più importanti scritti teorici di Godwin, oltre a un'accurata analisi dell'influenza che ebbe non solo ai suoi tempi ma anche sul pensiero antiautoritario successivo, sino ai nostri giorni.

While most sexual offender treatment programs take an aggressive, confrontational approach that targets the offenders' denial, research has indicated that this common approach does not appreciably alter actual risk factors related to reoffense rate. Furthermore, this approach can alienate and demoralize offenders. Over the past 40 years, William L. Marshall and colleagues have developed and refined a motivational, strength-based approach emphasizing warmth, empathy, and support for the offenders. Backed by research, this positive approach does not ignore risk factors but presents them to clients as targets for the development of strengths rather than as deficits to be overcome. Such programs in both prison and community settings achieve a broad range of treatment targets and appear to reduce recidivism for both sexual and nonsexual crimes.

This landmark volume challenges how sexual offender treatment is typically conducted. It is thought-provoking reading for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, and parole and probation officers working with sexual offenders

In this wonderful book, Marshall and colleagues describe the surrounding theory and treatment strategies of their positive approach to working with adult sex offenders. Exceptionally well written and clearly structured, in many respects the book represents the fruits of a lifetime of profound reflection and innovation by one of the field's outstanding talents and pioneers. It is a brilliant achievement and provides a coherent and accurate integration of the tenets of positive psychology and strength-based perspectives with contemporary assessment and treatment techniques.---Tony Ward, PhD, Head of School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

This volume is a welcome addition to the small, but growing, literature on strength-based work with offenders. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the field of rehabilitation, whether they be practitioners, academics, or students.---Anthony Beech, PhD, Professor of Forensic Psychology, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom

Third Views, Second Sights is an end-of-the-century geographical exploration patterned after the first surveys of the nineteenth century updated with new techniques and sensibilities. The project presents photographs of historic American Western sites in light of the dynamic nature of and changes to the landscape witnessed since the nineteenth century when the great expeditionary photographers - William Henry Jackson, T. H. O'Sullivan, and William Bell - first photographed for the geological and geographical surveys that became the benchmarks for change and continuity as well as for ways of seeing and representation.
The Rephotographic Survey Project revisited and rephotographed these nineteenth-century sites during the late 1970s, resulting in the monumental Second View, presenting 120 pairs of images. Two decades later, Mark Kiett and a new survey team have rephotographed 110 sites, assembling the first-view icons of early American photography with second views that explored how these nineteenth-century images were made while documenting a century of change and third views that further record a changing landscape in light of a new generation's visual sensibilities.
The book includes forty-three sights, field notes that provide a chronological account of Third View work during three field seasons, and an interactive DVD featuring all 110 sites rephotographed for the project.

From the plains of Africa to her very own backyard, noted author and anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas explores the world of cats, both large and small in this classic bestseller. Inspired by her own feline's instinct to hunt and supported by her studies abroad, Thomas examines the life actions, as well as the similarities and differences of these majestic creatures. Lions, tigers, pumas and housecats: Her observations shed light on their social lives, thought processes, eating habits, and communication techniques, and reveal how they survive and coexist with each other and with humans.

In this sequel to her illuminating bestseller The Hidden Life of Dogs, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas profiles the canines in her own household to show how dogs have comfortably adapted to life with their human owners -- and with each other. A classically trained anthropologist, she answers questions we all have about our pets' behavior. Do dogs have different barks that mean different things? What makes a dog difficult to house-train? Why do certain dogs and cats get along so well? How does Snoopy recognize people he sees only once a year, while Misty barks at strangers she sees every day?

The Social Lives of Dogs presents marvelous evidence of the power of the group -- and shows us that those who are fortunate enough to be given the trust of an honorable dog will also have their lives enriched.
