Personality Traits in Online Communication by Barrie Gunter, 2019

Authoritative and illuminating, this book demonstrates how we reveal the secrets of our character through the disclosures we make about ourselves in the online world.






The author expertly explores whether online information about people, derived from their search patterns, personal detail disclosures and the language they use when posting text, are all related to their personalities. The Internet era has given rise to an enormous explosion of data that is refreshed daily on a massive scale. The growth of online social network sites has created opportunities for more and more people to reveal intimate details about themselves and their lives. While some of these disclosures are consciously made, other, more subtle forms of person profiling can be produced by examining patterns in our online behavior and the language we use in our online posts. As this book will show, techniques have been developed which enable researchers to build detailed personality profiles of people without their awareness, by examining online behaviour and psycholinguistic analysis. Establishing how unlocking the full potential of ‘big data’ is dependent on having the right analytical tools that can be applied speedily and cost-effectively on a massive scale, the author also asks how powerful these methods are, and can they really be used to influence us in the way their critics fear and proponents claim. 
Explaining how we reveal the secrets of our character through the disclosures we make about ourselves in the online world, this is fascinating reading for students and academics in psychology, linguistics, computer science, and related areas.

Global Champions of Sustainable Development by Patricia M. Flynn et al, 2020

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) embody the collective aspirations of the world’s peoples: peace, freedom, development and sustainability. The challenges associated with the struggle for attainment of these goals and objectives are as diverse and complex as the variety of human societies, national conditions and natural ecosystems worldwide.





The problems to be addressed range from extreme poverty and pandemics to racism and refugee crises. Some of the best strategies and solutions to these problems emerged from unlikely places, ranging from the corporate boardrooms and halls of administration to the fields of civic engagement and the vortices of crises. Often, a single person is the dauntless driving force behind these innovative programs and courageous experiments that made all the difference to the poorest and most disadvantaged social groups. Somehow, they were able to turn the abstract goals and principles of sustainability into concrete programs and effective action. This book, the first of its kind, offers a platform that shares the individual experiences and personal studies of champions around the world that ‘make sustainability work’ in different contexts. In the trenches of practice, results are far from guaranteed, while sacrifice and obstacles are inevitable. These champions forge the paths forward – advocating ideas, mobilizing support and exercising leadership – in diverse nations, organizations and communities. In their struggle, they develop plans and solutions that inevitably involve adaptation, sacrifice, trade-offs and compromises that address the concerns of competing groups.

The Routledge Handbook on Biochemistry of Exercise by Peter M. Tiidus, 2020

From its early beginnings in the 1960s, the academic field of biochemistry of exercise has expanded beyond examining and describing metabolic responses to exercise and adaptations to training to include a wide understanding of molecular biology, cell signalling, interorgan communication, stem cell physiology...

taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1





...and a host of other cellular and biochemical mechanisms regulating acute responses and chronic adaptations related to exercise performance, human health/disease, nutrition, and cellular functioning.  

The Routledge Handbook on Biochemistry of Exercise is the first book to pull together the full depth and breadth of this subject and to update a rapidly expanding field of study with current issues and controversies and a look forward to future research directions. Bringing together many experts and leading scientists, the book emphasizes the current understanding of the underlying metabolic, cellular, genetic, and cell signalling mechanisms associated with physical activity, exercise, training, and athletic performance as they relate to, interact with, and regulate cellular and muscular adaptations and consequent effects on human health/disease, nutrition and weight control, and human performance.

With more emphasis than ever on the need to be physically active and the role that being active plays in our overall health from a whole-body level down to the cell, this book makes an important contribution for scholars, medical practitioners, nutritionists, and coaches/trainers working in research and with a wide range of clients. This text is important reading for all students, scholars, and others with an interest in health, nutrition, and exercise/training in general.

Patricia Routledge lived a life full of inner growth. What she shared one year before her death about her inner development is amazing. She wrote about 'Keeping up appearances':

" That character taught me to embrace my quirks and quietly healed something deep within me."

Actress Patricia has passed away at the age of 96. We all know her, of course, as Hyacinth – sorry, – from Keeping Up Appearances. But that role came only after a long career in theatre, film, musicals and television. She did everything, from Shakespeare to comedy. Yet theatre, with a live audience, remained her greatest passion. A remarkable woman is gone.

A Clinician's Guide to Neurodivergence; Supporting a Neuro-Affirmative Form of Practice by Sarah Ashworth-Watts, 2025

A concise handbook which provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of a range of conditions to support clinicians working with individuals with diverse neurocognitive profiles.




It provides a practical guide for clinicians to move towards a more neuro-aware and neuro-affirmative way of working. It sets out guidance around diagnosis and access to services whilst giving consideration to the adaptations and accommodations that might be necessary to avoid the inequities that can often be experienced through neuro-normative or heteronormative practices. Topics covered include learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dyscalculia, autism, ADHD, acquired brain injury and various other neurodivergent profiles. The intersection of neurodivergence with factors such as gender and age and comorbidity with mental health and personality profiles is also considered. Drawing on the NICE guidelines, the International Classification of Disease (ICD) system, and the Diagnostical Statistical Manual (DSM), each chapter provides the background to different neuro-cognitive profiles, common indicators that may be observed, screening and diagnostic assessment, clinical recommendations and signposting to relevant resources and services. The handbook is valuable reading for students, researchers, clinicians, therapists, medical and allied professionals who require an introductory text providing in-depth details regarding a range of neurodivergent conditions.

Sex, Drugs, and Death by Tammy L. Anderson, 2012

Explores how youth lifestyles, identity pursuits, behaviors and activities produce a wide range of social problems in contemporary society. The book focuses on the interconnections between three of the most significant youth issues: sexuality, substance use and suicide.








The book pays special attention to the unique pursuits of young people and the locations in which they interact, including virtual places like Facebook and more actual ones such as high school, college, and nightclubs. Patterns among females and males of various class, race, and ethnic backgrounds are also featured prominently in the text as well as how sociologists think about and study them. The goal of this new, unique Series is to offer readable, teachable "thinking frames" on today’s social problems and social issues by leading scholars, all in short sixty page or shorter formats, and available for view on http://routledge.customgateway.com/routledge-social-issues.html. For instructors teaching a wide range of courses in the social sciences, the Routledge Social Issues Collection now offers the best of both worlds: originally written short texts that provide "overviews" to important social issues as well as teachable excerpts from larger works previously published by Routledge and other presses.

Foundations of Naturopathic Nutrition; A Comprehensive Guide to Essential Nutrients and Nutritional Bioactives; Second Edition by Fay Paxton, 2025

The new edition of Foundations of Naturopathic Nutrition provides an essential but detailed guide to the principles of clinical nutrition from a naturopathic perspective.





Fully updated with the latest research evidence, the text begins with an overview of basic physiological principles and the body’s protective systems, such as the antioxidant, detoxification and immune systems. It then moves to an in-depth examination of different food components, including essential nutrients such as protein, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, as well as nutritional bioactives, such as alpha-lipoic acid, phytochemicals, digestive enzymes and probiotics. There is detailed information on how each food component is digested and metabolised in the body and guidance on its impact on health. Including summary boxes, case studies and quizzes to help readers consolidate their knowledge, this second edition now includes an ‘evidence box’ which highlights the most recent and clinically relevant research findings on the main nutrients.
There is also a new section on finding and evaluating research, from using search engines to assessing different types of research studies. This accessible and informative text will appeal to all students interested in nutrition from a complementary health perspective.

Climate Change, Population Health and Island States : Socio-Cultural Dimensions
Climate Change, Population Health and Island States by Arnab Chakraborty et al, 2025

This unique collection examines climate change, disasters, and human health in both ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ island nations, highlighting the sociocultural issues in three countries: the UK, Sri Lanka, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

library.oapen.org/handle/20.50




Examining how domestic and international policies often disregard the contributions which can be made by poor and marginalised communities, the book demonstrates how traditional ecological knowledge systems, which once enabled effective adaptation to environmental variability, have been systematically marginalised through processes of modernisation and globalisation. Furthermore, the book argues that the colonial model of prevention and responses should be reconsidered, advocating instead for a more inclusive, collaborative approach to climate-health governance – one that meaningfully incorporates local perspectives while addressing structural vulnerabilities to develop equitable, context-specific solutions for island states facing the escalating challenges of climate change and disaster-related health risks. This critical analysis will be of interest to students, scholars, and policymakers in public health, climate change and sustainability, disaster risk reduction, history, anthropology, sociology, and human geography.

Cover of The World Politics of Disco Elysium, edited by Vic Castro and Nicholas Kiersey. The design features an abstract, wireframe illustration of a city skyline in white against an orange gradient background. The title appears in bold black text on a white horizontal bar, with the Popular Culture and World Politics series label above it. The Routledge logo is in the lower right corner.

The World Politics of Disco Elysium analyses the distinctive political claims and original arguments on a wide range of international political issues of the highly-acclaimed Marxist video game Disco Elysium (2019), which takes place in a speculative fictional world anchored in a post-Soviet Estonian perspective.


Disco Elysium (2019) has been repeatedly acclaimed as one of the best video games of all time. This detective role-playing game unfolds in a city ruined by a failed communist revolution and occupied by a foreign coalition. Furthering recent work in International Relations and popular culture, this book claims that the ‘cognitive estrangement’ of speculative fiction can produce theoretical and political novelty, beyond merely reflecting existing political dynamics. By placing a metaphor for the Estonian capital Tallinn at the centre of a world, Disco Elysium produces an estranged Estonian perspective on world politics that challenges dominant Anglo-American views of International Relations, while also undermining the opposition between a coherent West and a colonized Rest.
