Hope and Uncertainty in Contemporary African Migration
This volume examines the relationship between hope, mobility, and immobility in African migration.Through case studies set within and beyond the continent, it demonstrates that hope offers a unique prism for analyzing the social imaginaries and aspirations which underpin migration in situations of uncertainty, deepening inequality, and delimited access to global circuits of legal mobility. The volume takes departure in a mobility paradox that characterizes contemporary migration.Whereas people all over the world are exposed to widening sets of meaning of the good life elsewhere, an increasing number of people in the Global South have little or no access to authorized modes of international migration.This book examines how African migrants respond to this situation.Focusing on hope, it explores migrants’ temporal and spatial horizons of expectation and possibility and how these horizons link to mobility practices.Such analysis is pertinent as precarious life conditions and increasingly restrictive regimes of mobility characterize the lives of many Africans, while migration continues to constitute important livelihood strategies and to be seen as pathways of improvement.Whereas involuntary immobility is one consequence, another is the emergence and consolidation of new destinations emerging in the Global South.The volume examines this development through empirically grounded and theoretically rich case studies in migrants’ countries of origin, zones of transit, and in new and established destinations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Latin America and China.It thereby offers an original perspective on linkages between migration, hope, and immobility, ranging from migration aspirations to return.

The Troubled Mind : Stories of uncertainty and hope
'I am not ill... the doctors stole my organs for black magic... I am responsible for the fall of mankind... I am under attack from the outside world... the voices tell me to throttle her... she comes to fetch my heart... she comes to fetch my breathing... I am too afraid...'In 'The Troubled Mind', Sean Baumann seeks to address the fear and misapprehension surrounding mental illnesses.Through his personal engagement with patients, he describes the experiences of those living with schizophrenia, bipolar mood disorders and other severe forms of psychiatric disorders. The stories told are authentic, compelling and mysterious, representing vivid expressions of minds in turmoil and the struggle to give shape and meaning to mental distress.The author describes these encounters respectfully, believing that careless representations of mental illness cause further suffering and exclusion.Neuroscientific, socio-cultural, historical, philosophical contexts, and perspectives from the arts are used to shed light on the varied and enigmatic phenomena of mental illness.An argument is made that many of the issues described in these encounters reach beyond the possibly arbitrary confines of mental illness, and raise questions that affect us all, including concerns about the self, free will, and consciousness, and the meanings we attach to being who we are. 'The Troubled Mind' is illustrated by award-winning artist Fiona Moodie. 'Blends the personal and the scientific in a seamless and empathetic narrative... thought-provoking and authoritative... a tremendous achievement'. Nicholas Shakespeare.

Taming Uncertainty
An examination of the cognitive tools that the mind uses to grapple with uncertainty in the real world. How do humans navigate uncertainty, continuously making near-effortless decisions and predictions even under conditions of imperfect knowledge, high complexity, and extreme time pressure?Taming Uncertainty argues that the human mind has developed tools to grapple with uncertainty.Unlike much previous scholarship in psychology and economics, this approach is rooted in what is known about what real minds can do.Rather than reducing the human response to uncertainty to an act of juggling probabilities, the authors propose that the human cognitive system has specific tools for dealing with different forms of uncertainty.They identify three types of tools: simple heuristics, tools for information search, and tools for harnessing the wisdom of others.This set of strategies for making predictions, inferences, and decisions constitute the mind's adaptive toolbox. The authors show how these three dimensions of human decision making are integrated and they argue that the toolbox, its cognitive foundation, and the environment are in constant flux and subject to developmental change.They demonstrate that each cognitive tool can be analyzed through the concept of ecological rationality-that is, the fit between specific tools and specific environments.Chapters deal with such specific instances of decision making as food choice architecture, intertemporal choice, financial uncertainty, pedestrian navigation, and adolescent behavior.

Embracing Uncertainty
'Susan Jeffers' wisdom feels like a precious gift. Her counsel is profound and meaningful in such challenging times.' MARIANNE WILLIAMSON'Original, courageous and brilliant!' WARREN FARRELL* * * * * * * * * *Nobody knows what will happen in the next moment of our lives.Whatever is in store for us, the only thing we CAN be sure of is that nothing in life is certain. And since we all fear the unknown, life's uncertainty can be a constant source of worry to us. But, as bestselling author Susan Jeffers explains, life doesn't have to be one worry after the next, a steady stream of 'what if's', and a constant attempt to create a secure haven for ourselves.In EMBRACING UNCERTAINTY she emphasises that an unknown future doesn't prevent a rich and abundant life, and shows how by enjoying life's unpredictability we transform ourselves from a position of fear to one filled with excitement and potential. Through invaluable case-studies, exercises and her pragmatic wisdom, Susan convinces us, above all, that life is exhilarating because of, not in spite of the uncertainty.

Age of Uncertainty
MUUY BIIEN's latest offering, "Age Of Uncertainty," is a delightful romp through the murky waters of modern indie rock. From the opening track, the band grabs you by the scruff of your neck and drags you headfirst into their world of swirling guitars and pounding drums. The album exudes a sense of urgency and chaos, as if the band members were trying to cram as many ideas as possible into each song. This frenetic energy is both the album's greatest strength and its biggest weakness. While some tracks, like the relentless "Skeletons" and the haunting "Cyanide Breathmint," benefit from this sense of urgency, others can feel a bit cluttered and overwhelming. Lead vocalist Joshua Evans' gritty, almost manic delivery adds to the album's sense of unease. His lyrics are cryptic and often nonsensical, but they somehow feel perfectly at home amidst the cacophony of sound. "Age Of Uncertainty" is not an album for the faint of heart. It demands your attention and refuses to let go until the final notes of the closing track have faded into silence. MUUY BIIEN may not have all the answers, but they certainly know how to keep you on your toes. In the end, "Age Of Uncertainty" is a wild ride that is sure to leave you both exhausted and exhilarated. So buckle up and enjoy the chaos.
