Secession and State Creation -...

Mikulas Fabry, James Ker-Lindsay

What makes a state? This question has attracted more and more attention in recent years with Catalan's illegal vote for independence from Spain and Palestine's ongoing search for international recognition. And while Scotland chose to remain with the United Kingdom, discussions of independence have only continued as the ramifications of the Brexit vote begin to set in. Kosovo, South Sudan, and the situation in Ukraine—each in its way reveals the perils of creating a nation separate from neighbors who have dominated it. 
 
 
 
As James Ker-Lindsay and Mikulas Fabry show in this new addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, the road to statehood never did run smooth. Declaring independence is only the first step; gaining both local and global acceptance is necessary before a state can become truly independent. The prospect of losing territory is usually not welcomed by the parent state. Beyond this immediate conflict, the international community often refuses to accept new states without proof of defined territory, a settled population, and effective government, which frequently translates to a democratic one with demonstrated respect for human rights. Covering the legal, political, and practical issues of secession and state creation, Ker-Lindsay and Fabry provide a sure-footed guide to a complex topic.

Foster Children - Supporting...

Stacey Wilmore

Foster children are among the most resilient yet vulnerable members of our society. Their experiences often include trauma, instability, and emotional wounds that shape their sense of self and their ability to navigate the world. Transitional homes, which provide temporary care and support between placements or as a bridge to independent living, are critical in their journey toward healing. These homes offer not just a roof over their heads, but the chance to rebuild trust, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
However, the needs of foster children are complex and require specialized care. These children may have faced neglect, abuse, or upheaval, and as a result, their emotional and psychological healing requires patience, empathy, and understanding. The trauma they have experienced can manifest in many ways, from attachment issues to difficulties in socializing and managing emotions. Supporting foster children in these transitional spaces means addressing these deep-rooted issues while fostering a nurturing environment where they can heal and grow.
This book is designed to provide guidance for those who are working with foster children in transitional homes. Whether you are a caregiver, social worker, educator, or mental health professional, you play a pivotal role in these children’s lives. It offers insights into how to create a safe, stable, and supportive environment that allows children to feel seen, heard, and valued. The key is not simply to care for these children in the traditional sense, but to understand their unique needs and meet them with compassion and dedication.
