Popular Mobilization and Empowerment in Georgia's Rose Revolution
While other studies explain the Rose Revolution in terms of the contribution of the “power players,” Popular Mobilization and Empowerment in Georgia’s Rose Revolution, by Kelli Hash-Gonzalez, adds to our understanding of the event by examining it from the perspective of ordinary citizens.

The Art of Experience
The Art of Experience provides an interdisciplinary analysis of selected plays from Ireland’s premier female playwright, Marina Carr. Dagmara Gizło explores the transformative impact of a theatrical experience in which interdisciplinary boundaries must be crossed. This book demonstrates that theatre is therapeutic and therapy is theatrical. The role of emotions, cognitions, and empathy in the theatrical experience is investigated throughout. Dagmara Gizło utilises the methodological tools stemming from modern empirically grounded psychology (such as cognitive-behavioural therapy or CBT) to the study of theatre’s transformative potential. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of theatre, performance, and literature, and will be a fascinating read for those at the intersection of cognitive studies and the humanities.

Women, Science, and Myth
"Throughout history, many myths concerning the capabilities of women have received the stamp of approval from the world of science. Meanwhile, the scientific community itself has been notoriously slow in welcoming the work of women scientists. Is there a connection?" "Women, Science, and Myth: Gender Beliefs from Antiquity to the Present addresses this pivotal question head-on, offering a clear-eyed look at an area of lingering controversy in the world of science. It approaches the subject chronologically and in terms of long-running issues and themes. It examines the ways scientists have researched gender throughout history, the influence of those results on society's perceptions of women, and the impact those findings have had on the scientific community and on women, women scientists, and women's rights movements. the result is a timely and revealing resource that celebrates science's legitimate accomplishments while unmasking the "proven by research" sources of misbegotten beliefs about gender."--Jacket.
