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.

Magnificent English Country...

Christopher Allen

MAGNIFICENT COUNTRY ESTATES The Duchy of Cornwall Estate – Established 1337 The summary of this audiobook is as follows: The Duchy of Cornwall, established in 1337 by King Edward III, is England’s oldest duchy, created to provide financial independence for the heir to the throne. Originally comprising lands in Cornwall and beyond, it has evolved from a medieval feudal estate into a modern, sustainable enterprise under Prince William, the 25th Duke. Historical Foundations The Duchy was founded through a royal charter granting Edward, the Black Prince, extensive lands and administrative rights. Over centuries, it survived political turmoil, including the English Civil War, adapting to economic and social changes while maintaining its core purpose. Evolution & Leadership Key figures like Prince Albert (Queen Victoria’s consort) and Prince Charles (Duke from 1952–2022) modernized the estate. Charles championed organic farming, sustainable architecture (Poundbury), and environmental stewardship. Today, Prince William focuses on social impact, mental health support for farmers, and homelessness initiatives. 
Modern Estate & Operations The Duchy spans 135,000 acres across 20 counties, including: Dartmoor’s uplands (50% of holdings) Poundbury & Nansledan (sustainable urban developments) The Isles of Scilly (conservation and tourism) Revenue (£23.6M in 2023-24) funds royal duties, community projects, and environmental programs. The Duchy operates as a private estate with crown exemptions but voluntarily pays income tax. Sustainability & Social Impact The Duchy leads in: Regenerative agriculture (Focus Farms initiative) Net-zero goals by 2032 (renewable energy, carbon sequestration) Affordable housing and mental health support for rural communities Future Vision By its 700th anniversary (2037), the Duchy aims to balance tradition with innovation, serving as a model for sustainable land management and community development while supporting the monarchy’s future.

The Anxious Perfectionist - How...

PhD Clarissa W. Ong, PhD Michael...

If you identify as a perfectionist, you may not see your perfectionism as a problem. But striving for unrealistic standards, basing your self-worth on meeting those standards, and engaging in persistent self-criticism will ultimately lead to anxiety, stress, worry, burnout, and unhappiness. So, how can you distinguish between "helpful" and "hurtful" perfectionism and stop holding yourself and others to unrealistically high standards? 
 
 
 
Written by two clinical psychologists, The Anxious Perfectionist shines a much-needed light on the hidden costs of "being the best," and offers essential skills based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you cope with the anxiety that is driven by your perfectionism. You'll learn how your "need to be perfect" can actually hinder your productivity, and keep you from reaching your goals. You'll also learn skills to help you gain distance from negative self-talk and criticism, let go of unhelpful and self-limiting labels such as "success" or "failure," and give yourself and others permission to make mistakes while still honoring your high aspirations. 
 
 
 
If you're struggling with feelings of anxiety and stress, and suspect your perfectionism may be to blame, this guide will show you how to stop getting in the way of your own success, and live a life guided by your deepest values.

Hinduism and Buddhism: The...

Charles River Editors

In conjunction with the development of religions, including not just Hinduism but also Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddhism, the diverse traditions and ethnic groups that have called India home over the past 5,000 years combined to create a mythology that is as eclectic as it is interesting. Unraveling the details of India’s mythological systems is no easy task, but thankfully, hundreds of scholars who have studied Indian history have successfully translated thousands of ancient and medieval Indian texts into English and other modern Western languages. Generally speaking, Indian mythology originated from the ideas and practices of two ethnic groups, the Dravidians and the Aryans. Although the latter’s influence was more visibly dominant, the former was also integral in the development of Indian myths and Hinduism generally. It is also important to keep in mind the differences between mythology, theology, and rituals as they relate to Indian religion.  
In the West, Buddhism is a religion that everyone has heard of but one that few truly understand aside from Buddhists themselves. For almost 2,500 years, Buddhism has been dominant on the Indian subcontinent, based on the traditions, beliefs, and practices that came about from the teachings of the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama), the Sansrkit word for “the awakened one.” Today, three distinct branches of Buddhism have mostly fanned out across Asia, and it’s believed that upwards of half a billion people practice Buddhism today, and some of the traditional practices and principles of the religion, including the concepts of karma, reincarnation and the practice of yoga are all commonplace ideas across the world.
