Summary

Housing Stability Indicators explores the critical issue of housing inequality, specifically focusing on the disproportionate rates of housing instability and homelessness experienced by LGBTQ individuals. It argues that systemic discrimination, embedded within housing policies and practices, is a primary driver of these disparities, rather than individual circumstances. The book highlights the intersectionality of identities, recognizing that race, class, and other factors compound housing challenges for LGBTQ individuals. Understanding the historical context of discriminatory housing practices, including those once legal, is essential to grasp the present-day obstacles. The book presents its findings through a multi-faceted approach, combining quantitative data from national surveys with qualitative insights from interviews and focus groups. It examines barriers to accessing shelter, such as discrimination from service providers and a lack of affirming spaces. Ultimately, the book proposes evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at promoting equity and inclusion, offering practical insights for policymakers, housing advocates, and social workers. 

 
The book progresses across three sections, first establishing a framework for understanding LGBTQ identities and disparities, then examining specific barriers to accessing shelter, and finally analyzing current housing policies and suggesting strategies for change. It connects to fields such as urban sociology, public policy, and LGBTQ studies, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of housing inequality and the urgent need for inclusive housing policy.

Good Grief: Embracing life at a...

Catherine Mayer, Anne Mayer-Bird

‘The most life-affirming book ever written about death.’ Sandi Toksvig‘One of the most powerful and helpful books about grief that you will ever read.’ Anita Anand
‘Grief is more than the price of love. It is love. We must learn not just to live with it, but to make it welcome.’
Mother and daughter Anne Mayer Bird and Catherine Mayer were widowed within 41 days of each other on the eve of the pandemic, then locked down alone. Their profound isolation was broken just once a week, when Catherine visited Anne to care for her, at distance and in a mask. Together they found ways to navigate their loss and the startling questions and challenges that confronted them.
In this memoir, Catherine also investigates the possibility that her husband, renowned musician Andy Gill, contracted Covid-19 when his band, Gang of Four, toured China in late 2019. Her main focus, however, is not on death, but on life and love. This is a captivating account of lives well lived, moving and spiked with black humour. It is interwoven with letters Anne wrote to her husband John to tell him of the astonishing and heartrending events since his death and her small triumphs in living independently.
In sharing their insights and experiences, Catherine and Anne aim to help those who have lost or will lose people or who wish to know how best to support others in such circumstances. They also celebrate love—for John and Andy and each other.
‘We are extraordinarily lucky, my mother and I. We have each other and we have this room.
‘In this living room, we are learning to embrace the things we can’t touch, each other and the lovely dead.’
Catherine Mayer's Good Grief is a top-rated autobiography that explores the psychology of grief and bereavement. It is a profound exploration of relationships, marriage, and family, providing a long-term perspective on dealing with loss.
For fans of Angela Levin (Harry), Robert Jobson (Diana), Rachel Clarke (Your Life In My Hands), Richard Coles (The Madness of Grief), and Donna Ashworth (Loss).

Mountain Commandos in the...

Rod Boswell

Sunset, 8 June 1982, East Falkland. Eight specially trained Royal Marines infiltrate Goat Ridge, a long rocky hilltop between Mount Harriet and Two Sisters which are occupied by a battalion of 600 Argentine infantry. Their daring mission was to hide out in hostile territory, reconnoiter the Argentine position and then report back. From their hiding place just metres away from the enemy, they note and sketch the Argentine positions, then withdraw as stealthily as they had come. Their daring patrol provides essential intelligence that guided the British assault which overwhelmed the Argentine defences two days later.This was just one example of the missions undertaken by the Royal Marines Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre during the Falklands War, all of which are described in graphic detail in Rod Boswell's eyewitness account. Using his own recollections and those of his comrades, he describes their operations in the Falklands - the observation posts set up in the no man's land between San Carlos and Port Stanley, their role in the raid at Top Malo House, and the reconnaissance patrols they carried out close to the Argentine lines during the conflict.This celebrated first-hand account gives a fascinating insight into the operational skills of a small, specially trained unit and shows the important contribution it made to the success of the British advance. It also records the entire experience of the Falklands War from their point of view - the long voyage south through the Atlantic, the landings, the advance and the liberation of Stanley.For fans of Goose Green, Fighting for Queen and Country and First into Action.

Sumerian Civilization The: An...

Enthralling History

How much do you know about the “cradle of civilization?” Come explore the legacy of the brilliant ancient Mesopotamians who transformed the world.
Ancient Mesopotamia’s legacy was truly revolutionary. Childlike pictures scratched into wet clay evolved into the first written language. The Mesopotamians wrote the first epic poems, the first hymns, the first histories, and the first law codes. They developed the first wheel for transportation; simple carts that hauled bricks or produce morphed into chariots racing along at thirty-five miles per hour.
They gazed at the sky and mapped it, observing the planets’ retrograde motions and predicting lunar and solar eclipses. They developed the concept of time, measurements, basic counting, higher math, and hydraulic engineering.
Mesopotamia gave birth to the world’s first great empires—the Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Achaemenids—which stretched over three continents.
A glimpse at the questions this overview unpacks includes:How old is the world’s first city?How did the Eridu Genesis compare to Noah and the ark?How fast was the world’s first postal system?How many times did Babylon’s patron god Marduk get stolen?How did Hammurabi’s law code compare to the Law of Moses?Who calculated pi (π) to the value of 3.125 and understood the Pythagorean theorem twelve centuries before Pythagoras was born?Did Xerxes really have a million men in his army?Which empire encompassed 44 percent of the world’s population?What eunuch poisoned most of the Persian royal family?And much, much more!

Plato's Crito

Plato

The Athenian court has found Socrates guilty and sentenced him to death. While he is waiting to be executed, his friend Crito comes to the prison to persuade him to escape and go into exile. Socrates responds by examining the essence of law and community, probing the various kinds of law, making distinctions that go far beyond the particular issue of whether or not Socrates should escape.
