Summary

In 'A Definition of Social Work: A Thesis in Sociology,' Alice S. Cheyney undertakes a rigorous examination of the foundations and evolution of social work as a distinct professional field. Through a meticulous analysis of sociological theories and practices, Cheyney deftly navigates the complexities surrounding social work, elucidating its integral role in addressing societal issues. Her literary style is characterized by clarity and precision, appealing to both academic and general audiences, while her contextual framework encompasses the socio-economic realities of early 20th century America, providing a historical backdrop that enriches the discourse. Alice S. Cheyney, a prominent figure in early sociological thought, was profoundly influenced by the social upheavals of her time, particularly regarding industrialization and urbanization. Her educational background in sociology and her active involvement in social reform movements informed her perspective, offering both theoretical insights and practical applications. Cheyney'Äôs work reflects a commitment to articulating the purpose and ethics of social work, aiming to elevate the profession's status in the academic and public spheres. For readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of social work's conceptual underpinnings, Cheyney's thesis is an invaluable resource. It not only outlines the ethical and practical dimensions of the field but also serves as a catalyst for discussions about social justice and advocacy. This book is essential for students, practitioners, and scholars alike who wish to engage deeply with the discipline.

    Loyalty - The Faithful Allegiance

    Loyalty is a concept that resonates deeply with human nature, transcending time, culture, and geography. It is often regarded as one of the highest virtues, forming the foundation of relationships, societies, and organizations. At its core, loyalty is an unwavering allegiance to a person, cause, or institution, and it involves a commitment that goes beyond mere obligation. It is about dedication, trust, and an emotional bond that fosters a sense of responsibility and attachment. 
    Defining loyalty can be complex because it manifests in various forms and is subject to different interpretations depending on the context. In personal relationships, loyalty can mean remaining faithful to a partner, supporting friends through tough times, or staying committed to family. In a broader societal context, it can refer to allegiance to a nation, loyalty to a set of values, or even devotion to an idea or belief system. Despite these differences, the essence of loyalty remains consistent: it is the willingness to stand by someone or something, even in difficult or challenging times. 
    One important aspect of loyalty is trust. Without trust, loyalty cannot truly exist. Trust is the foundation upon which loyalty is built, and it is what keeps the bond strong over time. Loyalty requires faith that the person or cause to which one is loyal will not betray that trust. This mutual trust creates a sense of security and dependability, making loyalty a powerful force that binds individuals together.

    How much do you know about the lives of bisexual men who are married to women? Bisexual people make up a majority of the LGBT+ community, but they are still relatively hidden and misunderstood. Robert Brooks Cohen aims to address this invisibility by sharing a collection of interviews with Bi+ men who are or were married to women, helping listeners find connection, understanding, and community. 
     
     
     
    Their experience is often erased as "not queer enough," but these men are queer, and they are challenging societal norms in important and innovative ways. Written by the host of Two Bi Guys, this book intersperses Robert's bisexual journey with the diverse stories of other Bi+ men to help normalize sexual fluidity and create more awareness and compassion. This book shares interviews with men and a few of their wives from a wide array of cultural and regional backgrounds, religious family structures, and more, helping bisexual men find pride, validation, and joy in their sexual identity. 
     
     
     
    This book is written about and for bisexual and questioning men so they can see their experience represented. However, it is also for their partners, family, and friends—as well as students, researchers, clinicians with bisexual clients, and allies—so that they can better understand the unique challenges of this identity and provide meaningful support.

    ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, influencing various aspects of life, including attention, focus, and emotional regulation. One of the most challenging and often misunderstood aspects of ADHD is impulsivity. Impulsivity can manifest in many ways, such as making snap decisions, acting without fully considering the consequences, or responding to emotions before thinking them through. These behaviors, while common for those with ADHD, can lead to difficulties in personal relationships, work environments, and overall life satisfaction. This book seeks to provide strategies and insights for managing impulsivity, particularly in the context of quick decision-making and emotional responses. 
      
    For individuals with ADHD, impulsivity is not merely a matter of poor decision-making—it is deeply rooted in the neurological underpinnings of the condition. The brain’s inability to regulate certain executive functions, such as impulse control, makes it harder for individuals to pause and think before acting. This can result in a range of consequences, from minor mishaps to more significant interpersonal or professional challenges. However, understanding the science behind impulsivity is only part of the equation. Recognizing how these impulses affect daily life and learning how to manage them is crucial for building a healthier, more balanced existence. 
      
    This book explores how impulsivity manifests in everyday situations and how individuals with ADHD can learn to identify these moments of unregulated emotional responses or hasty decisions. It delves into the emotional impact that impulsivity can have, discussing how heightened emotions can both drive impulsive actions and result from them. The goal is to provide tools that allow for greater self-awareness, self-control, and emotional resilience, helping readers to slow down and consider their actions more thoughtfully.

    In the Mind of Stalin

    On 1 October 1939, Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty and soon to be the UK’s wartime leader, described Russia as ‘a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma’. The same can certainly be said of Stalin. How can this paradox of a man, who on the one hand had once exhibited great tenderness and kindness to his daughter Svetlana, and on the other sent millions – including members of his own family - to their deaths, be explained? 
     
    It is impossible to quantify the total number of deaths attributable to the policies of Stalin, but the ‘Excess Mortality’ (i.e., deaths over and above what would normally have been expected during the period in question) gives an approximate figure in excess of 40 million. 
     
    However, this is only part of the story of the amount of misery inflicted by the Stalin regime through torture, deliberate starvation, neglect, separation from loved ones, cold and hypothermia (e.g. in the prisons of Siberia), which is unquantifiable and unimaginable. 
     
    Svetlana confessed that she ‘would never undertake to “explain” what motivated all my father’s actions, simply because I do not possess the psychological genius of [Russian novelist] Dostoevsky, who knew how to “penetrate” into another man’s soul and “examine it from within”’.
