Summary

Urban Poverty Dynamics explores the complex web of factors driving concentrated poverty in urban areas, linking it to rural-urban migration and strains on social structures. The book examines economic opportunities, housing affordability, and social mobility, highlighting how deindustrialization and discriminatory housing policies have shaped urban landscapes. One key insight is that the spatial concentration of poverty isn't random but results from systemic inequalities. The book argues for moving beyond individual explanations of poverty to address the structural forces that perpetuate it. Analyzing data from sources like the U.S. Census Bureau alongside interviews with residents and policy experts, the book reveals how zoning regulations, public housing policies, and gentrification limit housing options for low-income families. It also emphasizes the limitations of place-based strategies.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive examination, the book begins by defining key concepts, explores urban labor markets, analyzes housing markets, and examines barriers to upward mobility. The concluding chapters offer recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders, providing a framework for analyzing root causes and designing effective interventions promoting inclusive urban development. The book directly addresses ongoing debates surrounding government intervention and the effectiveness of anti-poverty programs.

    Hippocrates is credited with being the first physician to really focus on surgery as a medical practice. He and his team of surgeons would often operate on patients with a variety of different ailments. This was a major shift from previous medical practices, which often focused on simply treating the symptoms of an illness, rather than attempting to cure it. Hippocrates and his team pioneered many surgical techniques that are still used today, and their work helped to revolutionize medicine as a whole. Read in English, unabridged.

    The irresistible, ever-curious, and always bestselling Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. 
 
"America’s funniest science writer" (Washington Post) takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: the questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn't the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts? Can constipation kill you? Did it kill Elvis? In Gulp we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of―or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab, a fecal transplant, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. With Roach at our side, we travel the world, meeting murderers and mad scientists, Eskimos and exorcists (who have occasionally administered holy water rectally), rabbis and terrorists―who, it turns out, for practical reasons do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts. 
 
Like all of Roach's books, Gulp is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies.

    LibriVox volunteers bring you 18 recordings of There Was a Cherry-Tree by James Whitcomb Riley. This was the Weekly Poetry project for May 13, 2012.Riley began his career writing verses as a sign maker and submitting poetry to newspapers. Thanks in part to an endorsement from poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, he eventually earned successive jobs at Indiana newspaper publishers during the latter 1870s. Riley gradually rose in prominence during the 1880s through his poetry reading tours. He traveled a touring circuit first in the Midwest, and then nationally, holding shows and making joint appearances on stage with other famous talents. Regularly struggling with his alcohol addiction, Riley never married or had children, and was involved in a scandal in 1888 when he became too drunk to perform. He became more popular in spite of the bad press he received, and as a result extricated himself from poorly negotiated contracts that limited his earnings; he quickly became very wealthy.
