Beschreibung

Youth Shelter Access addresses the critical issue of housing insecurity and homelessness among LGBTQ youth in the United States. These young people face significantly higher rates of homelessness due to factors like family rejection, discrimination, and violence, highlighting a major gap in the social safety net. The book reveals that many existing shelter systems fail LGBTQ youth due to inadequate staff training, discriminatory practices, and the absence of LGBTQ-inclusive policies, challenging the notion that all shelters are inherently safe spaces.

 
The book explores this complex issue through a systematic approach. It begins by establishing the scope of LGBTQ youth homelessness and then examines relevant federal, state, and local policies. A substantial portion is dedicated to analyzing shelter training programs and assessing how well they address LGBTQ-specific needs. The study also examines regional variations in shelter access, identifying both successful approaches and areas needing improvement.

 
Ultimately, Youth Shelter Access offers concrete policy recommendations and strategies for fostering more inclusive shelter environments. It calls for LGBTQ-inclusive policies, comprehensive shelter training programs, and increased funding for specialized services. By using a fact-based approach, the book aims to empower academics, policymakers, social workers, and advocates to drive change and create more equitable systems of care for vulnerable youth.

    Refusing the digital world of late capitalism 
     
     
     
    In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our "digital age" is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialization of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror. Scorched Earth surveys the wrecking of a living world by the internet complex and its devastation of communities and their capacities for mutual support. 
     
     
     
    This polemic by the author of 24/7 dismantles the presumption that social media could be an instrument of radical change and contends that the networks and platforms of transnational corporations are intrinsically incompatible with a habitable earth or with the human interdependence needed to build egalitarian post-capitalist forms of life.

    Hume - A Very Short Introduction

    James A. Harris

    David Hume, philosopher, historian, economist, librarian, and essayist, was one of the great figures of the European Enlightenment. Unlike some of his famous contemporaries, however, he was not dogmatically committed to idealized conceptions of reason, liberty, and progress. Instead, Hume was a skeptic whose arguments questioned the reach and authority of human rationality, and who put the rivalrous passions of commercial life at the center of his theory of human nature. He believed that the modern world was in many ways superior to the ancient world, but was acutely conscious of the threats to peace and progress posed by bigotry, factionalism, and imperialism. Today Hume's works continue to speak to us powerfully in an age of instability and uncertainty. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction presents a balanced account of Hume's thought, giving equal attention to his work on human nature, morality, politics, and religion. Weaving together biography, the historical context, and a thoughtful exposition of Hume's arguments, James A. Harris offers a compelling picture of a thinker who had no disciples and formed no school, but whom no one in his own time was able to ignore, and who has since become central to modern philosophy's understanding of itself.

    A child who refuses to speak. 
    Rosie must help her before it’s too late. 
    Nine-year-old Caitlin has a secret, but she cannot tell anyone about it. When her mother is sectioned under the Mental Health Act she and her three siblings have to go and live with her grandmother Julie and grandad Ryan. 
    Caitlin finds her new living conditions challenging: cat poo on the carpet, rubbish everywhere and the constant stare of her grandad – she retreats more and more into herself. 
    When foster carer Rosie Lewis meets Caitlin she knows something is deeply wrong with this little girl, who is withdrawn, afraid and refuses to speak. Rosie decides to take her in, but Caitlin’s silence continues, and Rosie knows she must act. 
    Why is Caitlin so afraid to speak? 
    Could it be that the family has a dark secret? 
    One that is so shocking it can no longer be hidden? 
    Rosie Lewis, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves deep into the psychology of a child suffering from abuse, painting a vivid picture of the struggle within. The memoirs of her work with Caitlin, a child on the autism spectrum, are both personal and heart-wrenching, making this autobiography a bestseller.

    Living is a balancing act. Ordinary activities like walking, running, or riding a bike require the brain to keep the body in balance. A dancer’s poised elegance and a tightrope walker’s breathtaking performance are feats of balance. Language abounds with expressions and figures of speech that invoke balance. People fret over work-life balance or try to eat a balanced diet. The concept crops up from politics—checks and balances, the balance of power, balanced budgets—to science, in which ideas of equilibrium are crucial. Why is balance so fundamental, and how do physical and metaphorical balance shed light on each other? 
     
    Paul Thagard explores the physiological workings and metaphorical resonance of balance in the brain, the body, and society. He describes the neural mechanisms that keep bodies balanced and explains why their failures can result in nausea, falls, or vertigo. Thagard connects bodily balance with leading ideas in neuroscience, including the nature of consciousness. He analyzes balance metaphors across science, medicine, economics, the arts, and philosophy, showing why some aid understanding but others are misleading or harmful. Thagard contends that balance is ultimately a matter of making sense of the world. In both literal and metaphorical senses, balance is what enables people to solve the puzzles of life by turning sensory signals or an incongruous comparison into a coherent whole. 
     
    Bridging philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Balance shows how an unheralded concept’s many meanings illuminate the human condition.
