This thought-provoking book delves into the widening gap between the wealthy and the marginalized, exposing the systemic factors that perpetuate social stratification and marginalization.

Interrupted Justice confronts the obstacles to justice head-on, exposing the power structures, institutional barriers, and ideological forces that uphold inequity.

Drawing on insights from philosophy, sociology, economics, and history, Interrupted Justice is a timely and essential contribution to the discourse on justice. With its rigorous analysis, powerful case studies, and passionate call for change, this book is a must-read for anyone who seeks a more just and equitable world.

Through the Morgue Door - One...

Colette Brull-Ulmann,...

In 1934, at the age of fourteen, Colette Brull-Ulmann knew that she wanted to become a pediatrician. By 1942, Brull-Ulman and her family had become registered Jews under the ever-increasing statutes against them enacted by Petain's government. Her father had been arrested and interned at the Drancy detention camp and Brull-Ulman had become an intern at the Rothschild Hospital. 
 
 
 
Under Claire Heyman, a charismatic social worker who was a leader of the hospital's secret escape network, Brull-Ulmann began working tirelessly to rescue Jewish children treated at the Rothschild. Ultimately, Brull-Ulmann was forced to flee the Rothschild in 1943, when she joined her father's resistance network, gathering and delivering information for De Gaulle's secret intelligence agency until the Liberation in 1945. 
 
 
 
In 1970, Brull-Ulmann finally became a licensed pediatrician. It wasn't until decades later when she finally started to speak publicly—not only about her own work and survival, but about the one child who affected her most deeply. Originally published in French in 2017, Brull-Ulmann's memoir fearlessly illustrates the horrors of Jewish life under the German Occupation and casts light on the heretofore unknown story of the Rothschild Hospital during this period.

Youth Vaping Unveiled -...

Dr. Josh J. Mack

As we delve deeper into this topic, we will navigate the intricate web of influences that drive these behaviors. From the powerful force of peer pressure to the allure of projecting a particular social image, urban youth often find themselves at a crossroads where their choices are influenced by a myriad of factors. The accessibility of vaping products and drugs in urban environments, coupled with the lack of awareness about their consequences, further complicates the landscape. Moreover, we will explore how, for some urban youth, vaping and substance use serve as coping mechanisms for the stress, trauma, and mental health challenges they face. The quest for social acceptance and recognition may sometimes lead them down a path of experimentation that can have lasting implications. 
 This exploration is not merely an academic exercise but a crucial endeavor to shed light on the dynamics of urban youth culture and to provide insights that can inform prevention and intervention strategies. By understanding the motivations behind these behaviors, I aim to empower educators, parents, community leaders, and the youth themselves to make informed decisions and foster healthier environments. Each chapter of this book will delve into a different facet of this complex issue, offering perspectives, research findings, and strategies for addressing the challenges posed by vaping and substance use among urban youth. Through knowledge and understanding, we can work collectively to support urban youth in making choices that lead to healthier and more positive outcomes. 
Join me on this journey of exploration and discovery as we seek to comprehend why urban youth smoke vapes and do drugs to impress their peers and, in doing so, strive to create a better future for them and their communities.

Polyvagal Talks - Clinicians &...

Polyvagal Institute, Bessel Van...

Conversations among thought leaders about the transformational applications of Polyvagal Theory. 
 
Stephen Porges first introduced Polyvagal Theory in 1994. In the decades since, its neurobiological explanation for how our nervous system shapes behavior, communication, and health has profoundly influenced trauma treatment. Increasingly, the polyvagal perspective has also informed wellness, healthcare practice, and broader societal understanding. This exchange has been reciprocal: while PVT has influenced innovators across fields, their insights have in turn shaped the theory, pushing it toward greater relevance and practical application. 
 
This volume presents conversations between Stephen Porges and leading figures including Bessel van der Kolk, Gabor Maté, Deb Dana, Daniel J. Siegel, Peter Levine, and others. These dialogues show how Polyvagal Theory has shaped their work and lives, while also revealing how their perspectives continue to inform and challenge the theory. Both personal and academic, reflective and forward-looking, the conversations highlight how PVT contributes to fields as varied as child development, attachment, trauma studies, and healthcare, while deepening our understanding of human resilience and healing.
