Synopsis

Visibility Growth Rates explores the complex relationship between LGBTQ visibility in media and public life and its impact on society. The book investigates how increased representation correlates with shifts in demographic self-reporting and evolving social perceptions. While greater visibility is often seen as progress, the book argues that it's a multifaceted phenomenon. For example, increased visibility doesn't always translate to authentic representation, and can sometimes manifest as tokenism or misrepresentation.

The book provides historical context, tracing the journey of LGBTQ representation from marginalization to increased presence. It examines how different forms of visibility impact individuals and communities, emphasizing the need for nuanced and authentic portrayals. Using content analysis, statistical data, and personal narratives, the book connects to fields like media studies, political science, and sociology.

It progresses by first introducing core concepts, then examining media representation, exploring political dimensions, and correlating these with self-identification surveys. Ultimately, Visibility Growth Rates offers a critical perspective on LGBTQ visibility, analyzing its quality, authenticity, and impact.

It's a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the changing landscape of LGBTQ issues, LGBTQ rights, and social change. The book's evidence-based analysis informs strategies for promoting diverse LGBTQ representation and identifies areas where greater attention is needed to ensure all members of the community are seen and heard.

Marine Pollution - What Everyone...

Judith S. Weis

For millennia, human societies have viewed the ocean as a dumping ground for waste products of all kinds. The sources of marine pollution are extensive, including oil spills, sewage, fertilizers, pesticides, industrial wastes, heavy metals, ocean acidification, plastics, and even invasive species, considered biological pollution. Yet, the solutions are not as clear. 
 
Updated to reflect recent research, this book discusses the sources of marine pollutants, their effects on marine organisms and humans, and how to reduce or eliminate them. Weis covers the aftermath of oil spills in addition to "emerging" topics like flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, noise pollution, and PFAS. A new chapter examines the prevalence of microplastics and how they rise through the food chain into human beings, along with their associated toxic chemicals. Additional chapters address the deadly effects of climate change in the ocean but also focus on actions that all people can take, citing recent environmental improvements as a cause for hope.

Carrie Kills A Man - A Memoir

Carrie Marshall

Carrie Kills A Man* is about growing up in a world that doesn't want you, and about how it feels to throw a hand grenade into a perfect life. It's the story of how a tattooed transgender rock singer killed a depressed suburban dad, and of the lessons you learn when you renounce all your privilege and power.

When more people think they've seen a ghost than met a trans person, it's easy for bad actors to exploit that – and they do, as you can see from the headlines and online. But here's the reality, from someone who's living it. From coming out and navigating trans parenthood to the thrills of gender-bending pop stars, fashion disasters and looking like Velma Dinkley, this is a tale of ripping it up and starting again: Carrie's story in all its fearless, frank and funny glory.

*"Spoiler: That man was me." – Carrie
"Nasty & funny! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." - Patton Oswalt
