Identity Shift Rates

Summary

Identity Shift Rates explores the intriguing phenomenon of significantly higher LGBTQ+ identification rates among younger generations. It argues that increased visibility, acceptance, and regional variations in social attitudes drive these generational shifts. The book examines how these factors influence individuals' willingness to self-identify, highlighting the intersection of personal identity and broader societal changes. It presents a detailed historical context of LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance, establishing a baseline for understanding contemporary trends.

The book uses U.S. Census data, large-scale surveys, and regional studies, employing statistical methods and qualitative insights to uncover trends and disparities. A unique aspect is its comparative approach, examining LGBTQ+ identification rates across different regions and demographic groups. This spatial analysis identifies social and cultural contexts that either promote or inhibit self-identification. For example, increased acceptance in certain regions correlates with higher rates of LGBTQ+ identification, illustrating how social attitudes impact identity expression.

Structured in three parts, Identity Shift Rates begins with core concepts of identity formation, then examines empirical evidence, and concludes by synthesizing findings into a comprehensive model. It bridges sociology, psychology, and demography, offering a complete picture of the factors influencing LGBTQ+ identity. The book's findings have practical implications for social policy, community resources, and future research directions.

Where You'll Find Me - Risk...

Ty Gagne

On February 15, 2015, Kate Matrosova, an avid mountaineer, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Late the following day, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. 
 
 
 
At thirty-two, Matrosova was ultra-fit and healthy and had already summited much larger mountains on several continents. Her gear included a rescue beacon and a satellite phone. Yet, despite their best efforts, more than forty expert search and rescue personnel, a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. 
 
 
 
What went wrong? 
 
 
 
Where You'll Find Me offers possible answers to that question, demonstrating why Matrosova's story—what we know and what we will never know—represents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.

Bad Girls from History - Wicked...

Dee Gordon

You wont be familiar with every one of the huge array of women featured in this book, but all, familiar or not, leave unanswered questions behind them. The range is extensive, as was the research, with its insight into the lives and minds of women in different centuries, different countries, with diverse cultures and backgrounds, from the poverty stricken to royalty. Mistresses, murderers, smugglers, pirates, prostitutes, and fanatics with hearts and souls that feature every shade of black (and grey!). From Cleopatra to Ruth Ellis, from Boudicca to Bonnie Parker, from Lady Caroline Lamb to Moll Cutpurse, from Jezebel to Ava Gardner. Less familiar names include Mary Jeffries, the Victorian brothel-keeper, Belle Starr, the American gambler and horse thief, La Voisin, the seventeenth-century Queen of all Witches in France but these are random names, to illustrate the variety of the content in store for all those interested in women who defy law and order, for whatever reason. The risque, the adventurous and the outrageous, the downright nasty and the downright desperate all human (female!) life is here. From the lower strata of society to the aristocracy, class is not a common denominator. Wicked? Misunderstood? Nave? Foolish? Predatory? Manipulative? Or just out of their time? Listen and decide.
