Sinopse

Social Label Shifts explores the profound impact of language on perceptions of disability and its implications for social inclusion. It examines how disability labels are not merely descriptive, but powerful social constructs that influence both individual identities and societal structures. The book highlights the cultural relativity of disability labels, demonstrating how terms like "disabled" or "handicapped" carry different connotations and social weight across various countries, affecting everything from stigma to the politics of identity. The book provides a historical overview of disability conceptualizations, contrasting the medical, social, and human rights models. It emphasizes the importance of adopting a rights-based approach to language, respecting the dignity of individuals with disabilities. Through comparative case studies and first-person narratives, the book analyzes how shifts in language impact self-perception and community participation, offering practical recommendations for promoting inclusive language in education, healthcare, and media. The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with the theory of social labeling, then moving to comparative case studies, and finally analyzing the socio-political dimensions of disability labeling. The book addresses controversies, such as person-first versus identity-first language, and is geared towards students, researchers, and policymakers interested in disability rights.

    She was once a whimsical wizardess solving magical mishaps on children’s television. Now she’s navigating midlife, burnout, and the absurdities of modern life—one disastrous spell at a time. 
    The Latter Days of: Wizadora is a biting satire that reimagines a beloved childhood icon in a world where magic has become mundane, nostalgia is monetized, and the pressure to "find yourself" can only be solved with too much gin. 
    Once an effortlessly magical being who captivated young audiences, Wizadora now lives above a vape shop in Luton, working a soul-sucking job at the Department of Arcane Complaints and Refunds. Her wand’s broken, her plants are staging protests, and her magical mishaps—including summoning her naked ex in front of a Parent & Witchcraft group—have made her a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons. 
    This novel skewers the societal obsession with staying young, relevant, and "magical" in an increasingly cynical, oversaturated world. It takes a sharp, hilarious look at the illusions of modern life—where social media influencers glow with "ancient prophecies," smartphones sprout wings, and the self-help industry has turned every personal failure into a product. 
    Wizadora’s journey is about coming to terms with who we thought we should be, versus who we really are—and the hilarious, painful absurdity of it all. 
    Through wit, absurdity, and surprisingly tender moments, The Latter Days of: Wizadora offers a scathing commentary on nostalgia, societal expectations, and the overwhelming pressure to "find your magic" in a world that no longer believes in it. 
    Magic isn’t what it was. But neither are we. And that’s fine.

    The story of how Toronto became a music mecca.
     
    From Yonge Street to Yorkville to Queen West to College, the neighbourhoods that housed Toronto’s music scenes. Featuring Syrinx, Rough Trade, Martha and the Muffins, Fifth Column, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, Rheostatics, Ghetto Concept, LAL, Broken Social Scene, and more!
     
    “Jonny Dovercourt, a tireless force in Toronto’s music scene, offers the widest-ranging view out there on how an Anglo-Saxon backwater terrified of people going to bars on Sundays transforms itself into a multicultural metropolis that raises up more than its share of beloved artists, from indie to hip-hop to the unclassifiable. His unique approach is to zoom in on the rooms where it’s happened – the live venues that come and too frequently go – as well as on the people who’ve devoted their lives and labours to collective creativity in a city that sometimes seems like it’d rather stick to banking. For locals, fans, and urban arts denizens anywhere, the essential Any Night of the Week is full of inspiration, discoveries, and cautionary tales.” —Carl Wilson, Slate music critic and author of Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste, one of Billboard’s ‘100 Greatest Music Books of All Time’
     
    “Toronto has long been one of North America’s great music cities, but hasn’t got the same credit as L.A., Memphis, Nashville, and others. This book will go a long way towards proving Toronto’s place in the music universe.” —Alan Cross, host, the Ongoing History of New Music
     
    “The sweaty, thunderous exhilaration of being in a packed club, in collective thrall to a killer band, extends across generations, platforms, and genre preferences. With this essential book, Jonny has created something that's not just a time capsule, but a time machine.” —Sarah Liss, author of Army of Lovers

    The names of history’s most famous battles still ring in our ears today, their influence immediately understood by all. Marathon lent its name to the world’s most famous race, but it also preserved Western civilization during the First Persian War. Saratoga, won by one of the colonists’ most renowned war heroes before he became his nation’s most vile traitor. Hastings ensured the Normans’ success in England and changed the course of British history. Waterloo, which marked the reshaping of the European continent and Napoleon’s doom, has now become part of the English lexicon.  
    Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War and its biggest battles, and this audiobook explains the campaigns and events that brought about decisive battles like Gettysburg, Second Bull Run, Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, Antietam, Murfreesboro, and more, along with what went right and wrong on both sides and the aftermath of the battles.
