Sinopse

Gentrification Impact explores the multifaceted phenomenon of gentrification, examining its economic drivers, displacement effects, and impact on community identity. It highlights how urban change, while often bringing benefits like improved infrastructure, can lead to the displacement of long-term residents, particularly in minority communities facing social inequality. For example, increased property values, while seemingly positive, can drive up housing costs, making it unaffordable for vulnerable populations.

 
The book progresses from a historical overview of gentrification's evolution to an analysis of its economic forces, such as real estate speculation and the influx of high-income residents. It then delves into displacement mechanisms, including rent increases and evictions, before examining the qualitative impact on community cohesion and cultural diversity.

 
The book emphasizes that urban development requires careful consideration to avoid exacerbating social inequality and to promote affordable housing. Ultimately, this study provides a balanced perspective, blending quantitative data with qualitative insights to offer a nuanced understanding of gentrification. It aims to equip policymakers, community organizers, and engaged citizens with the knowledge and tools to address the challenges of gentrification, fostering social equity and sustainable community development.

Body Language - Decoding Nonverbal Communication for Better Understanding - cover

Body Language - Decoding...

Body language is an essential aspect of communication that often speaks louder than words. It encompasses a range of non-verbal signals that convey emotions, attitudes, and intentions, all without uttering a single word. From facial expressions and gestures to posture and eye contact, body language is a powerful tool in human interaction, influencing how we connect with others and how we are perceived in return. While verbal communication is often emphasized, non-verbal cues are just as important—sometimes even more so—when it comes to understanding the full message being communicated. 
  
In fact, research suggests that a large percentage of our communication is conveyed through body language, with estimates ranging from 60% to 93%, depending on the context. The way we move, stand, and make eye contact can reveal a wealth of information about our true feelings, intentions, and state of mind. Whether we're aware of it or not, our body language is constantly transmitting messages to others, which is why it's crucial to understand the subtle cues we are sending out.

F*cked - Being Sexually Explorative and Self-Confident in a World That's Screwed - cover

F*cked - Being Sexually...

Comedians Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson started Guys We F*cked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast in 2013, intending to interview guys they'd slept with to learn more about themselves and squash the stigma so often associated with sexual women. As the podcast grew, and Corinne and Krystyna got to know their fans, stories of sexual assault, verbal and emotional abuse, and crippling shame became common topics of discussion along with those humorous conversations highlighting overall sexual confusion among many adults. The podcast is now an community of over a million listeners worldwide, and a place where any and all taboo sex topics are discussed freely, both with celebrity guests and the real people in their lives. 
Their new book, F*cked, follows that model, as Corinne and Krystyna bring a mix of raw, ridiculous, and serious sexual conversation to the page that will include topics like:Why shame is completely made up and how we can stop giving into itSexual exploration and how it sometimes ends in a trip to the ERStuff we should stop doing: Snooping, nitpicking our bodies, and faking orgasmsAsking your sexual partner uncomfortable questionsHow to get yourself out of an unsafe situationMasturbation, threesomes, porn, sex toys, butt stuffAnd much, much more 
Corinne and Krystyna are tired of books that pander to women like they’re hot messes, unable to handle their emotions without the assistance of a man, a glass of rosé, and a Xanax. This audiobook will teach the listener, be they male, female, transgender or undecided, that you deal with sh*t, you brush your shoulder off, and you move the f*ck on. In a society where it has, for some reason, become chic to be the victim, they say this pity party ends now.  
This is a guide to love and sex for women who drink whiskey because they like it, not because it’s a cute thing to say on your Tinder profile. It has no trigger warnings because life doesn’t come with those. It won’t talk down to you or coddle you because you’re better than that. Corinne and Krystyna aren’t going to explain why he’s just not that into you, because it doesn’t f*cking matter. Despite what television, Rom-Coms, and glossy magazines tell you, you’re fine all by yourself. This is the audiobook Bridget Jones should’ve heard instead of writing that sh*tty diary in the first place.
