The Tough Winter

The hard winter that Analdas, the old Rabbit, prophesies comes to pass in more ways than one for the dwellers of Rabbit Hill when the "Folk" go away and leave a neglectful Caretaker with a mean Dog in charge.

It has been a while since Folks lived in the Big House, and an even longer time has passed since there has been a garden at the House. All the animals of the Hill are very excited about the new Folks moving in, and they wonder how things are going to change. It’s only a matter of time before the animals of the Hill find out just who is moving in, and they may be a little bit surprised when they do.

Language and Mediated Masculinities: Cultures, Contexts, Constraints (STUDIES IN LANGUAGE GENDER SEX SERIES)

From television shows to the manosphere, and from alt-right communities to fatherhood forums, debates about masculinity have come to dominate the media landscape. What does it mean to be a man in contemporary society? How is masculinity constituted in different media spaces? This growingcultural tension around masculinities has been discussed and analyzed both for general audiences and in burgeoning academic scholarship. What has been typically overlooked, however, is the role that language plays in these mediated performances of masculinity.In Language and Mediated Masculinities, Robert Lawson draws on data from newspapers, social media sites, television programs, and online forums to explore language and masculinities across a range of media contexts. The book offers a critical evaluation of the intersection between language,masculinities, and identities in contemporary society and addresses three key questions: How are masculinities constructed, in both public and private spheres, through linguistic and discursive strategies? How does language about masculinity and men affect (and recreate) gender ideologies indifferent social, political, and historical contexts? What might the language of men tell us about the state of contemporary gender relations in the twenty-first century? Lawson furthers our understanding of how language is implicated in (re)creating gender ideologies and how it shapes contemporarygender relations. Against a cultural backdrop of rising neoliberalism, ethnic nationalism, online radicalization, networked misogyny, and fractious gender relations, this book is an important contribution to charting how language is used to monitor, evaluate, and police masculinities in online andoffline spaces.

Organizational Psychology provides an overarching framework for understanding, managing, and working with and within global organizations. The text develops and emphasizes a transcultural approach to the study of organizational psychology and promotes the understanding of a wide variety of people within different organizations by identifying both the common features and those which make people, groups, and organizations unique. The text emphasizes the need to balance the forces of the global market place with the concomitant forces and mandates of the local environment in which the organization is a community member. The text presents user friendly methods for studying organizations, and analyzes eight key organizational processes applicable to all global organizations, and discusses the theory, empirical data, and applied strategies for each. The processes include organizational culture; work force diversity; group dynamics; individual and organizational motivation; leadership, power, and politics; decision making; conflict and negotiation; individual development; and organizational development. Each chapter begins with an introduction and learning objectives, then presents a theoretical framework for each major topic, including related empirical findings and specific applied interventions for a variety of organizational situations. Organizational Psychology is informative, engaging, and the content is highly applicable to all real life organizational situations and problems. The text is ideal for undergraduates and graduate courses in organizational psychology, and serves as an excellent companion to a variety of specialized periodical readings. Given its global scope, it will be of interest to psychology, business, sociology, and political science students and practitioners seeking an enhanced understanding of both the global marketplace and global organizations.
