  The paradox of poverty amidst plenty has plagued the United States throughout the twenty-first century—why should the wealthiest country in the world also have the highest rates of poverty among the industrialized nations?  Based on his decades-long research and scholarship, one of the nation's leading authorities provides the answer. In The Poverty Paradox, Mark Robert Rank develops his unique perspective for understanding this puzzle. 
   
   
   
  The approach is what he has defined over the years as structural vulnerability. Central to this new way of thinking is the distinction between those who lose out at the economic game versus why the game produces losers in the first place. Americans experiencing poverty tend to have certain characteristics placing them at a greater risk of impoverishment. Yet poverty results not from these factors, but rather from a lack of sufficient opportunities in society. In particular, the shortage of decent paying jobs and a strong safety net are paramount. 
   
   
   
  Based upon this understanding, Rank goes on to detail a variety of strategies and programs to effectively alleviate poverty in the future. The Poverty Paradox represents a game changing examination of poverty and inequality. It provides the essential blueprint for finally combatting this economic injustice in the years ahead.

  American Immigration - A Very...

  An updated, penetrating, and balanced analysis of one of the most contentious issues in America today, offering a historically informed portrait of immigration.Americans have come from every corner of the globe, and they have been brought together by a variety of historical processes—conquest, colonialism, the slave trade, territorial acquisition, and voluntary immigration. In this Very Short Introduction, historian David A. Gerber captures the histories of dozens of American ethnic groups over more than two centuries and reveals how American life has been formed in significant ways by immigration. He discusses the relationships between race and ethnicity in the life of these groups and in the formation of American society, as well as explaining how immigration policy and legislation have helped to form those relationships. Moreover, by highlighting the parallels that contemporary patterns of immigration and resettlement share with those of the past—which Americans now generally regard as having had positive outcomes—the book offers an optimistic portrait of current immigration that is at odds with much present-day opinion. Newly updated, this book speaks directly to the ongoing fears of immigration that have fueled the debate about both illegal immigration and the need for stronger immigration laws and a border wall.

  What drives a person to kill again and again? 
  In Psychology of Evil: Profiles of Serial Killers, psychologist and criminal-profiling specialist Florence McLean takes readers deep into the darkest corners of the human mind to examine how serial killers are formed, how they operate, and how they are ultimately hunted. 
  Drawing on decades of professional experience, advanced training in criminal profiling, and meticulous analysis of real cases from across the world, McLean reconstructs some of the most disturbing crimes in modern history. From infamous murder sprees to lesser-known cases, she shows how crime scenes, victimology, and offender behavior reveal patterns that are invisible to the untrained eye. 
  This is not sensational true crime. With clinical precision and moral clarity, McLean dismantles popular myths about profiling and exposes the complex psychological, social, and developmental factors behind serial violence. Most importantly, she argues that understanding is not about excusing evil—but about recognizing warning signs and exploring the possibility of prevention. 
  Gripping, unsettling, and profoundly insightful, this book is essential reading for anyone fascinated by criminal psychology, true crime, or the fragile boundary between humanity and monstrosity.

  Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist
  Every adoption is rooted in loss.
  Adoption is often framed by happy narratives, but the reality is that many adoptees struggle with unaddressed trauma and issues of identity and belonging. Adoptees often spend the majority of their youth without the language to explore the grief related to adoption or the permission to legitimize their conflicting emotions.
  Adoptee and counselor Cameron Lee Small names the realities of the adoptee's journey, narrating his own and other adoptees' stories in all their complexity. He unpacks the history of how adoption has worked and names how the church influenced adoption practices with unintended negative impacts on adoptees' faith. Small's own tumultuous search for and reunion with his mother in Korea inspired him to help other adoptees navigate what it means to carry multiple stories. His adoptee-centered advocacy helps adoptees regain their agency and identity on a journey of integration and healing, with meaningful relationships in all their family systems.
