Camilo Torres: Priest, Liberation Theologian, Guerrilla Fighter (Routledge Studies in Modern History)
by Eitan GinzbergCamilo Torres: Priest, Liberation Theologian, Guerrilla Fighter takes an in-depth look at the intense story of Colombian figure Camilo Torres Restrepo (1929–1966). Torres was an acclaimed young liberal who became a priest, a sociologist, a forerunner of liberation theology, and a revolutionary politician who sought to end 130 years of terrible human suffering in his country and to replace it with a Christian humanism based on “efficacious love.” This goal proved challenging to accomplish, and Torres ultimately found his way into the ranks of the Colombian ELN guerrilla movement, in which he was killed in February 1966, leaving behind a prophetic hope.This book is a vital resource for historians and students of Latin America. It especially appeals to those interested in church policy, the theology of liberation, and guerrilla movements. As the first English-language publication on this subject in 50 years – since the last account of Torres’s life in 1975 – it breaks new ground. Furthermore, it represents the first exploration of how Jewish thought influenced Torres’s theoretical framework, adopting a prophetic justice perspective that resonates with the struggles of Colombia and similar regions in the developing world. This is not just a historical account; it’s a call to understand and confront injustice wherever it exists.

Carbon Capture Technology and Storage in Poland: Social Acceptance and the Energy Transition (Routledge Focus on Energy Studies)
by Oluf Langhelle Dariusz Wojakowski Mateusz Stopa Stanisław Nagy Barbara Gąciarz Thomas Michael SattichThe book describes the results of the AGaStor Project’s social research carried out in northwestern Poland which recognizes the main social opportunities and barriers to the introduction of CCUS to society.At the national and regional level, the social barriers of CCUS acceptance are ignorance, uncertainty and the lack of public debate about this technology. On the local scale, social acceptance depends on the needs and fears of the local community. Some of those fears – distrust and perception of CO2 as a waste – could be recognized as universal dilemmas connected with CCUS. Although as knowledge about CCUS increases, a significant change in attitude can be observed. This change does not mean an acceptance of that technology. It is rather a shift towards more benign forms of resistance – from NIMBY to WIMBY. The book presents actual mechanisms of social reaction to UGS and CCUS investment, which will be a valuable contribution to managing social change in the context of green transition.The issue of social acceptance of CCUS should be of interest to decision makers and practitioners who manage investment projects in the broadly understood green transformation on a daily basis, and also to postgraduate students, researchers, academics and lecturers in political studies, sociology or economics, and in engineering studies connected with energy transformation.

Case Studies in Architecture and Landscape: Expanding the Legacy of Peter Blundell Jones
by Jan Woudstra Xiang RenThe architect, historian and critic Peter Blundell Jones (1949–2016) considered architecture as an expansive field within the arts and humanities and social sciences that included landscape and urban studies. His focus within this built environment was firmly on people and place, which to him meant developing a comprehension of the broad human, material and social engagements with specific localities.His favourite way to explore this human and environmental focus was through case studies of individual places, leading to a modus operandi to tackle the study of any place in a generous, rigorous and comprehensive manner that used the skills of related professions, of the sciences as well as of psychology and anthropology. Being able to adopt such interdisciplinarity determined the real value of his output, which was further enriched through the thick interpretation of placemaking in non-Western cultures.This book, celebrating the East-West Studies in Architecture and Landscape at the University of Sheffield co-founded by Peter Blundell Jones in 1995, presents 16 distinctive case studies in order to underline the relevance of his case study methodology and global legacy. It is intended to have relevance for a range of disciplines including the design ones of architecture, landscape and urban design and planning, as well as anthropology, history, geography and cultural studies.
Case Studies in Forensic Psychology: Diversity in Clinical Practice
by Jennifer Bamford J. Tully RuthThis book shines light on the often-hidden work completed by psychologists in forensic settings. It follows on from Case Studies in Forensic Psychology (2019) and Further Case Studies in Forensic Psychology (2022).The case studies presented involve service users with varied presentations such as acquired brain injury and ADHD, as well as a variety of offending histories including sexual, terrorism-related, and violent offences. Chapters present the individual’s background, assessment or treatment completed with them, and discussion of the features of the case in the context of relevant literature. Some chapters detail informative and evidence-based discussion of the authors’ experiences working with particular groups including recommendations for others working in that field (e.g. assessment of clergy, so called ‘honour-based violence’, assessment of those with terrorism-related convictions). One chapter is co-produced with an expert by experience. The book demonstrates to readers the complex and individually responsive psychological work engaged in by clinicians and underscores the importance of considering diversity and individual presentation within this work. It brings together clinical practice in the context of models of treatment and research, to demonstrate application at an individual level.Case studies in Forensic Psychology: Diversity in Clinical Practice is key reading for psychologists, allied health professionals, and practitioners at any career stage. Students will also find this book useful, as will those interested in real-world clinical practice of psychologists in forensic contexts.
