  Manifesto for the Revitalisation...

  The housing crisis in Portugal serves to illustrate a problem that has implications beyond the borders of the country, shedding light on challenges that are faced by major European and global cities. The rise in housing prices, driven by real estate speculation, the growth of tourism and the influx of foreign investment, has made it increasingly challenging for many in the population, especially the middle and lower classes, to access home ownership or renting. 
  The digitalisation of work has opened the possibility for highly qualified professionals to consider where they would like to live, regardless of the physical location of their job. Cities like Lisbon and Porto have become increasingly attractive destinations, offering a good quality of life combined with a range of professional opportunities. Nevertheless, this phenomenon has placed additional strain on the real estate market, leading to rising prices and the displacement of residents to the outskirts. 
  The housing policies that have been adopted thus far have not been as effective as might have been hoped, and in some cases may even have had the opposite effect. It seems that measures such as strict rent control, poorly targeted subsidies and the massive construction of new housing without proper urban and infrastructural planning have not solved the problem, and in some cases may have made it worse. Perhaps it would be beneficial to reconsider these approaches, acknowledging their shortcomings and adapting them to reflect the current situation. 
  It may be worth considering rehabilitating vacant buildings as a viable and sustainable solution. By restoring existing buildings, we can explore ways to increase the supply of affordable housing, revitalise run-down urban areas and preserve historical and cultural heritage to promote more inclusive and sustainable cities.

  The Christian in the Cult - And...

  Have you ever wondered if your own faith community might be more cult-like than Christ-like? 
  Jim Valekis has. He spent 40 years in religious communities, where he served alongside dedicated believers who faithfully pursued God—and yet also witnessed leadership and teachings that hindered rather than helped the spread of God’s Word. His shocking discovery: when culture becomes the lens through which you view Christ, cult-like thinking can take root and infiltrate even the most earnest Christian community. 
  This powerful and raw memoir reveals how Valekis navigated four different "cult"ures: the Greek Orthodox tradition, Herbert Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, American Evangelicalism, and—the worst—his own personal struggle with his preferred world view. 
  More than a narrative of one man’s experience, The Christian in the Cult offers tools for spiritual discernment while providing hope for those wounded by religious authority. The author’s honest spiritual journey culminates in a profound understanding of God’s faithfulness, which transforms how believers engage with their faith communities and share the Gospel. 
  With equal parts caution and urgent call to action, Valekis will help you recognize when religious culture obscures Christ's message, develop discernment to navigate faith communities wisely, and discover the freedom we can only find when we are truly living in Christ.

  These are poems about conversations that we'd like to have with ourselves and with others when our bodies and minds are fraying... 
  There's struggle and triumph, loss and humanity within the pages of this eclectic collection of verse. 
  Here's what Readers have to say: 
  "[This] collection brings together the dilemmas doctors and clinicians face through the voices of poetry in a way that is quite extraordinarily moving. It is about intersections, beliefs, power, frailty and so much more." - Ruth 
  "Words from a doctor's heart. The touch-points. The soft, comforting words, the firmness of harsh realities. Acceptance of the inevitable. Or the frustrating answers that make no sense." - Ashish 
  "Some of the stories may sound unreal to those who haven't been to crowded public hospitals in large cities. A doctor's perspective beautifully captured. Most of the poems are short stories of amazing tales. If you read poetry or short stories, don't miss out on this one." - Wonchi Murry

  Cannabis's recent history has been marked by politically motivated prohibition, despite centuries of cultivation. How did we get here and what can we do about it? In The Flowers of Good, neuroscientist Sidarta Ribeiro offers a brief history of the ancient herb and describes how collective human achievements domesticated this incredibly versatile plant and how racism and conservatism conspired to demonize it.Presented as an urgent debate that seeks to break down prejudices and engender dialogue, The Flowers of Good draws on history, culture, personal testimonies, memoir, and scientific rigor to combat misinformation about cannabis and reveal its potential. In accessible, engaging prose, Ribeiro explains the science behind marijuana's remarkable ability to treat everybody from children with epilepsy to seniors with dementia.With the medicinal use of marijuana is no longer questioned by science, the rest of culture is finally starting to catch up. The Flowers of Good explores this new chapter in humanity's history with marijuana, going beyond the scientific aspects of the substance to examine its use in connection with sport, work, study, sex, sleep, and religion—all aimed at improving quality of life.
