Sinopsis

Slum Development Patterns explores why informal settlements persist despite urban planning efforts. The book examines the socio-economic and political factors driving slum development, arguing it's a predictable outcome of specific conditions, not a random occurrence. It's crucial for understanding urban poverty, migration patterns, and housing policy, especially in the developing world where rapid urbanization fuels the growth of these settlements. One intriguing insight is how inadequate land tenure security often exacerbates the problem.

 
The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework rooted in urban economics and political science to systematically analyzing key drivers like poverty, unemployment, and rural-to-urban migration. It delves into housing policies, evaluating their effectiveness in providing affordable housing and upgrading existing slums, and uses case studies to support its arguments. The book highlights the need for integrated approaches to address the root causes of slum development, emphasizing connections to public health, environmental sustainability, and social justice.

    Popular television programmes highlight the satisfaction that can be gained from investigating the history of houses, and there is always plenty of interest in the subject, with archives becoming ever more accessible with access to the internet.
    
    
    As the subject covers a broad field, the authors have set out to include advice on those aspects that usually apply to a project and others that will be of particular use for beginners. The reader is guided through every stage of research, from the first exploration of the archives to the completion of the task. Suggestions are also included on how to present the findings – a house history makes a very attractive gift.
    
    
    The authors describe how to deduce the age of a property (it is very seldom directly recorded when a house was built) and characteristics of research on particular types of property – such as cottages, manor houses, inns, mills, former church properties, and farms – are discussed. In one example, research demonstrated that a farm was likely to have been a Domesday manor – a fascinating discovery achieved using records accessible to any beginner.

    "Marshaling fine-grained historical detail and scrupulous analysis, Hardwick persuades." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
     
     
     
    As a Black autistic pastor and disability scholar, Lamar Hardwick lives at the intersection of disability, race, and religion. Tied to this reality, he heeded the call to write How Ableism Fuels Racism to help Christian communities engage in critical conversations about race by addressing issues of ableism. 
     
     
     
    Hardwick believes that ableism—the idea that certain bodies are better than others—and the disability discrimination fueled by this perspective are the root causes of racial bias and injustice in American culture and in the church. Here, he uses historical records, biblical interpretation, and disability studies to examine how ableism in America led to the creation of images, idols, and institutions that perpetuate both disability and racial discrimination. 
     
     
     
    He then goes a step further, calling the church into action to address the deep-seated issues of ableism that started it all and offering practical steps to help listeners dismantle ableism and racism both in attitude and practice.

    Henry David Thoreau’s Walking is a profound meditation on nature, freedom, and self-discovery. Originally published in 1862, this classic essay explores the philosophy of walking as both a physical and spiritual act, emphasizing the importance of immersing oneself in the wild, untamed beauty of the natural world. Thoreau argues that walking is not merely a pastime but a way to achieve a deeper connection with the land, free from societal constraints and distractions. 
    Narrated by Declan McHugh, this audiobook brings Thoreau’s lyrical prose to life, guiding listeners through his reflections on wilderness, solitude, and personal growth. His insights remain as relevant today as they were in the 19th century, inspiring modern readers to step away from the noise of civilization and embrace the tranquility of nature. 
    An essential work for lovers of philosophy, nature writing, and transcendentalist thought, Walking is a timeless call to slow down, wander, and rediscover the world beyond paved roads and crowded cities.

    Journalist Josiah Bates pulls back the curtain on a crisis that continues to plague the United States in this gripping narrative. Fueled by the convergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest, gun violence has surged to unprecedented levels, devastating marginalized communities and urban areas across the nation.  
     
    Bates embarks on a heart-wrenching journey, crisscrossing the country to meet victims, perpetrators, community activists, and renowned scholars. Through their powerful stories, he unearths the hidden causes behind the escalating gun violence epidemic. From the corrosive effects of poverty to the contentious debates surrounding policing and calls to defund law enforcement, Bates fearlessly navigates the intricate web of factors influencing gun violence. Through firsthand accounts and expert analysis, he exposes the systemic failures that perpetuate this cycle of destruction and delivers a powerful clarion call for change.

Their stories, alongside Bates’s unflinching reporting, illuminate a path toward long-term solutions. As the nation grapples with this relentless epidemic, Bates presents a compelling case for unity and action. In These Streets is a groundbreaking investigation that uncovers the deep-rooted causes of gun violence, empowering readers with the knowledge, empathy, and inspiration needed to drive meaningful transformation.
