After eighteen frustrating months heading a specialist adolescent unit, Philip Stokoe applied for a training in consultation at the Tavistock Clinic based on the 'Tavi' aka 'group relations' model. This experience changed his life and, ultimately, led to this book, The Curiosity Drive: Our Need for Inquisitive Thinking. Embedding the training into his working life, Stokoe came to recognise the crucial importance of curiosity to the development of the mind. Alongside love and hate, it is a primary drive inside each of us. Without the desire to 'know', human evolution would take a very different path. Philip Stokoe outlines the work of Freud, Klein, and Bion to provide a firm foundation to his exploration of individual development and how it relates to groups and organisations. He lays bare why so many organisations are dysfunctional, takes an in- depth look at the problems unique to psychoanalytic institutions, and gives clear insight into how groups function as a separate entity to the individuals involved. He also investigates curiosity's shadow side, detailing the 'alternative' processes needed when it becomes a problem. This is a truly excellent book for trainees, professionals, and anyone who has ever been frustrated by work!

A nuanced understanding of literary imaginings of masculinity and femininity in the Egytian novel. Gender studies in Arabic literature have become equated with women's writing, leaving aside the possibility of a radical rethinking of the Arabic literary canon and Arab cultural history. While the 'woman question' in the Arabic novel has received considerable attention, the 'male question' has gone largely unnoticed. Now, Hoda Elsadda bucks that trend. Foregrounding voices that have been marginalised alongside canonical works, she engages with new directions in the novel tradition.

"Concoction of ideologies imperative in three-sixty-degree dimensions of human existence and its connection with the supreme." Many questions of the modern era are seeking answers from vague sources and we should be proud that our ancestors have answered them thousands of years ago. The warrior sage Vishvamitra, the founder of Gayatri Mantra, one of the most powerful mantras of Hindus, dedicated himself to a mission of piercing the darkness caused by misinterpretation of Dharma by the revolutionary outlook for its eternal sustenance. Written in the format of a novel, Yogi Vishvamitra is a nectar of philosophies conceived by the ancient Hindu sages who dedicated their lives to innovating a universal way of life that would lay a foundation of human civilisation precisely called Dharma. The sages are represented by Vishvamitra whose expedition was to hand over this priceless legacy to an eligible heir (found in the crown prince of Ayodhya, Rama) whose life becomes a bible of how an ideal human being should be. Yogi Vishvamitra is a manual of humanity, sociology, philosophy, liberation, spirituality, religion, and evolution. It is an attempt to navigate the upcoming generations towards their roots and reinforce the values that are forever useful. We aim to make them aware of their rich cultural heritage and adapt this precious knowledge into the times to come for a brighter future globally.
