  Adoption isn’t a secret. 
  But it often stays quiet—held back by fear, uncertainty, or not knowing what to say. It’s part of our neighborhoods, our classrooms, our workplaces, our faith communities, and our lives. Yet too often, it remains invisible. 
  This book is a conversation starter. It shines a light on what adoption really looks like today: complex, layered, and deeply human. 
  Whether you’re an adoptee, adoptive parent, birth parent, kinship caregiver, teacher, employer, spiritual leader, policymaker, or simply someone who wants to be an ally or advocate, this book offers the language, insight, and practical steps to make adoption a visible and respected part of how we live and relate to one another. 
  Featuring real voices and stories from people with lived experience and those working to support them. Because when we break the silence and move beyond stigma, we make space for truth, healing, and belonging.

  Presciently researched before the invasion of Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine is the first comprehensive investigation into the lethal methods Russia has used since 1999 to take over Ukraine – culminating in full-blown unprovoked war in 2022 and mounting atrocities. In this chilling, riveting and alarming narrative the authors cite ample evidence, draw historical analogies, and marshal sources that are new, little known, or anonymous by necessity.Over twenty years, Vladimir Putin skilfully manipulated Ukraine's self-serving politicians and oligarchs, only to be thwarted time and again by peaceful revolutions of ordinary Ukrainians – the Maidan – against government corruption and being pushed into Russia's arms. As Putin became obsessed with conquering Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine shows how the Kremlin has become a threat to global stability and Ukraine is almost certain to be the first battleground of World War III if the West is not careful to take a stance

  In many US cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. 
   
   
   
  How can police departments find the right balance between over- and under-policing of high-violence areas? What are the best practices for police to preempt and deter gun violence, while engendering support and cooperation from the public? 
   
   
   
  Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. While gun violence can be attributed to various systemic causes, Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook make the case that violence is itself a root cause of social disparity and future violence. Effective law enforcement is a vital component of a just society. They review and synthesize the evidence in several key areas: enforcement of gun laws, policing hot spots, controlling high-risk groups through focused deterrence, enhancing investigations to increase the arrest and conviction rate, preventing officer-involved shootings, and disrupting underground gun markets. Policing Gun Violence serves as a guide to how the police can better utilize their considerable resources to make cities safer.
