The Consortia Century makes the bold prediction that consortia, spanning diverse stakeholders, will be the defining institutional arrangement of the 21st Century. Consortia are not new, but will become increasingly important for addressing complex societal challenges, which exceed the capacity of any single organization or institutional actor. The book presents supporting case examples and provides a model for achieving sufficient stakeholder alignment for collective action - enabling interdependent individuals, groups, and organizations to accomplish together what they cannot do separately.

In this book, Robert Kramer argues that Otto Rank, not Sigmund Freud, created modern psychotherapy, which focuses on the therapist-client relationship. Rank's relational approach to therapy can today be found in social work, counseling, and psychotherapy. This book translates Rank's complex thought into language any reader can grasp easily.

In Rethinking Metaphysics, Amie Thomasson aims to change how we think about metaphysics: what it can do, and why it matters. Traditional metaphysics has aimed to discover deep truths about the world. But this has led to rivalries with science, epistemological mysteries, and a despairing scepticism about how we could gain knowledge in metaphysics. Thomasson argues that the problems with prior approaches to metaphysics arise from a problematic assumption that all discourse functions in the same way. By better understanding the plurality of linguistic functions, we can also disentangle ourselves from many old metaphysical problems--including problems about properties, numbers, morality and modality.

This elegant profile reveals that Hamilton was one of the key founding fathers of the United States.

It develops a Progressive understanding of law and politics from American thinkers' transformation of German theories of the state, emphasizing that the state must provide the goods people need to participate in democratic politics. Using examples from the New Deal and the Civil Rights Era, the book develops a normative theory with implications for deliberative democratic theory, constitutional theory, and administrative law.
