Dubai's audacious architecture and photographic locations attract social media 'influencers' from around the world. How has Dubai, once a small fishing village on the edge of a desert, morphed into a hyper-modern backdrop for this global phenomenon? How can we understand these interactions as our relationships with digital technologies undergo radical change?This timely research-based study reveals how micro-celebrities and Dubai's visible economies influence the evolution of the Emirate.

To Be Met as a Person: The Dynamics of Attachment in Professional Encounters McCluskey Una

"The aim of this book is to help us make sense of the feelings we have when we are successful and not successful in providing help for other people when they are in what one would describe as a "state." It also addresses our own or others' experiences of feeling frustrated and defeated by attempts to achieve a compassionate and intelligent response when we are frightened and anxious." -- From the IntroductionThis volume looks closely at attachment theory and how it relates to adults when they engage in careseeking-caregiving relationships. The key concept in the book is goal-corrected empathic attunement (GCEA) that has been developed within the context of psychotherapy. A series of empirical studies, designed to identify the elements and processes involved in GCEA that explore the role of empathic attunement in effective care-giving, are detailed.This is a

Micah: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary Becking Bob

A new translation and commentary on the biblical book of Micah that proposes a convincing new theory of its composition historyWhile the biblical book of Micah is most famous for its images of peace--swords turned to plowshares, spears turned to pruning hooks--and its passages of prophetic hope, the book is largely composed of prophecies of ruin. The historical Micah, who scholars believe lived in the late eighth century BCE, is the first recorded prophet to predict the fateful fall of Jerusalem, and he also foretells the destruction of the regions of Samaria and Judah, in addition to the more well-known promises of Judah's eventual restoration.In this volume, Bob Becking provides a new translation of the Hebrew text and illuminates the book's most important elements, paying special attention to its literary features, political context, and composition history.
