When we think of a manual, the idea of a book that concisely and clearly distills the essentials of a topic comes to mind. With an uncommon and provocative title, Manual to Die Happy speaks to us about life and invites us to celebrate it. French writer André Malraux pointed out that “death only has importance to the extent that it makes us reflect on the value of life.” In this vein, with a clear and didactic style, Mónica Tambini Ávila proposes that we take responsibility for our own existence in the face of the inevitable: death. So, how do we prepare to die happy? Is it possible to die happy? To answer these questions, Mónica dares to share everything about her experiences, lessons, and reflections on this topic. This book challenges us to think about the purpose of our existence, our life plan, happiness, love, gratitude, forgiveness, illness, and other aspects that encourage us not to delay what needs to be done and to keep our affairs and paperwork in order. Manual to Die Happy is a challenge to free ourselves from excuses, dare to be responsible for our decisions, and thus live in happiness.

The globalizing world is increasingly confronting a new category of security issues related to resource availability. The resource environment contains both traditional categories, such as energy, foodstuffs, and water, as well as new technologically related resources, such as rare earth minerals. The essays in this volume emphasize both the uniqueness and the magnitude of these new challenges, while simultaneously acknowledging that cooperation and competition in response to these security concerns occur within the context of both the historical and contemporary international power configurations. Moreover, these challenges are of a global nature and will require global perspectives, global thinking, and innovative global solutions. Krishna-Hensel brings together a wide range of topics focusing on critical resource availability impacting upon global security and the geopolitical ramifications of resource competition. The volume addresses the development of strategic thinking on these issues and underscores the increasing awareness that this is a critical area of concern in the twenty-first century global landscape.

Evaluating the existing position of film as research, Filmmaking in Academia offers clear guidance and practical advice from the planning and conception of research films to the making, evaluation, dissemination and impact of practice-based research. This book aspires to serve as a guide for new and current researchers in screen-based media and creative practice. It seeks to explore the scope, definitions, methodologies, and interdisciplinary (and post-disciplinary) nature of film research projects. Author Agata Lulkowska focuses on how to manage potential challenges when artistic creativity meets research requirements, emphasising how finding the middle ground that serves both purposes often requires redesigning brand-new methodological approaches. Looking specifically at the publication routes for research films, the book highlights current dissemination practices and raises the question of impact throughout to re-contextualise current publication methodologies for practice-based projects. This exciting new work provides key reading for graduate students, academics, and filmmakers looking to move into academia.
