Sinopsis

Scroungers, spongers, parasites …

 
These are just are some of the
terms that are typically used, with increasing frequency, to describe the most
vulnerable in our society, whether they be the sick, the disabled, or the
unemployed. Long a popular scapegoat for all manner of social ills, under
austerity we’ve seen hostility towards benefit claimants reach new levels of
hysteria, with the ‘undeserving poor’ blamed for everything from crime to even
rising levels of child abuse.

 
While the tabloid press has
played its role in fuelling this hysteria, the proliferation of social media
has added a disturbing new dimension to this process, spreading and reinforcing
scare stories, while normalising the perception of poverty as a form of
‘deviancy’ that runs contrary to the neoliberal agenda. Provocative and illuminating,
Scroungers explores and analyses the
ways in which the poor are portrayed both in print and online, placing these
attitudes in a wider breakdown of social trust and community cohesion.

    Anyone who has fallen off the conveyer belt of mainstream health care and into the shadowy corners of illness knows what a dark place it is to land. Where is the infrastructure, the information, the guidance? What should you do next? In Rebel Health, Susannah Fox draws on twenty years of tracking the expert networks of patients, survivors, and caregivers who have come of age between the cracks of the health care system to offer a way forward. Covering everything from diabetes to ALS to Moebius Syndrome to chronic disease management, Fox taps into the wisdom of these individuals, learns their ways, and fuels the rebel alliance that is building up our collective capacity for better health.Rebel Health shows how the next wave of health innovation will come from the front lines of this patient-led revolution. Fox identifies and describes four archetypes of this revolution: seekers, networkers, solvers, and champions. Each chapter includes tips, such as picking a proxy to help you navigate the relevant online communities, or learning how to pitch new ideas to investors and partners or new treatments to the FDA.Proactive, optimistic, and innovative, Rebel Health is a guiding light for anyone who wishes to join the health rebel alliance and become the hero of their own story.

    Beeronomics covers world history through the lens of beer, exploring the common role that beer taxation has played throughout and providing context for recognizable brands and consumer trends and tastes. 
    Beeronomics examines key developments that have moved the brewing industry forward. Its most ubiquitous ingredient, hops, was used by the Hanseatic League to establish the export dominance of Hamburg and Bremen in the sixteenth century. During the late nineteenth century, bottom-fermentation led to the spread of industrial lager beer. Industrial innovations in bottling, refrigeration, and TV advertising paved the way for the consolidation and market dominance of major macrobreweries like Anheuser Busch in America and Artois Brewery in Belgium during the twentieth century. We're now in the era of global integration—one multinational AB InBev, claims forty-six percent of all beer profits—but there's a counterrevolution afoot of small, independent craft breweries in America, Belgium and around the world. Beeronomics surveys these trends, giving context to why you see which brands and styles on shelves at your local supermarket or on tap at the nearby pub.
