Summary

Acoustics and Wellness explores the crucial, often overlooked, connection between our sound environment and overall well-being. It reveals how noise pollution and ambient sound significantly impact stress levels, cognitive function, and sleep quality. The book highlights that strategic acoustic design, including soundproofing and noise management, is essential for creating environments that support optimal health and productivity. Did you know that constant auditory stimulation can lead to chronic stress and diminished cognitive performance? The book integrates scientific research with practical design strategies, offering actionable insights for healthier spaces.

 
Beginning with the fundamentals of acoustics and sound perception, Acoustics and Wellness progresses to examining noise's detrimental effects on stress and cognitive functions. A significant portion is then dedicated to practical solutions, such as soundproofing techniques for various environments. The book concludes by discussing broader implications for urban planning and public health policy, advocating for noise-conscious design principles. By connecting environmental psychology, architectural design, and public health, it provides a holistic view of sound's impact on human experience.

    Non-profits are big business. According to a recent Johns Hopkins report, third-sector institutions in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Japan, the U.S. and Canada have been growing at an average rate that is twice the growth rate of their GDPs. Canada is home to the second largest non-profit workforce in the world, employing 2 million paid staff and contributing $112 billion to our economy each year. We are also recognized worldwide as an important generator of ideas and agent of social change.
      
      Maytree, a Canadian foundation established in 1982, has long been immersed in the dialogue surrounding the growth of the non-profit sector. From its extensive network of non-profit, government and corporate-sector leaders, Alan Broadbent and Ratna Omidvar have amassed a collection of practical ideas for running non-profits.
      
      As the sector expands to embrace new issues, there is increased pressure for accountability, relevancy and efficiency. Practitioners are expected to be experts in a variety of fields. Five Good Ideas offers information, strategies for action and management solutions that are easy to implement and will improve how organizations function. It is a testament to what can happen when people from a variety of backgrounds get together to share their skills and knowledge.
      
      ‘If we are to make government and the private sector more responsive to
      community needs, we need a not-for-profit sector that punches above its
      weight. The insights in this book are required reading for every committed
      social change activist.’
      – Frank Sharry, Founder and Executive Director, America’s Voice

    In The Future Is Disabled, Leah Laksmi Piepzna-Samarasinha asks some provocative questions: What if, in the near future, the majority of people will be disabled—and what if that's not a bad thing? And what if disability justice and disabled wisdom are crucial to creating a future in which it's possible to survive fascism, climate change, and pandemics and to bring about liberation? 
     
     
     
    Building on the work of her game changing book Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice, Piepzna-Samarasinha writes about disability justice at the end of the world, documenting the many ways disabled people kept and are keeping each other—and the rest of the world—alive during Trump, fascism, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Other subjects include crip interdependence, care, and mutual aid in real life, disabled community building, and disabled art practice as survival and joy. 
     
     
     
    Written over the course of two years of disabled isolation during the pandemic, this is a book of love letters to other disabled QTBIPOC (and those concerned about disability justice, the care crisis, and surviving the apocalypse); honor songs for kin who are gone; recipes for survival; questions and real talk about care, organizing, disabled families, and kin networks and communities; and wild brown disabled femme joy in the face of death.
