Summary

The Injustice of Place  by H. Luke Shaefer, Kathryn Edin, and Timothy Jon Nelson

The Injustice of Place: Uncovering the Legacy of Poverty in America" by H. Luke Shaefer, Kathryn Edin, and Timothy Jon Nelson, is a profound examination of entrenched poverty in often overlooked areas of the United States.
The authors, renowned for their research into poverty in America, shift their focus from the nation's poorest people to its poorest places, revealing a startling reality.
They discovered that America's most disadvantaged communities are predominantly rural, contrary to the common perception that the most severe poverty is found in big cities.
This significant finding spurred a five-year investigative journey through regions like Appalachia, the Cotton and Tobacco Belts of the Deep South, and South Texas.
Throughout the book, the authors delve into centuries of local history, participate in community events, and engage deeply with the residents of these areas. They uncover the legacies of extreme poverty in the United States, highlighting how inequalities affect people's health, livelihoods, and chances for upward social mobility.

    Addiction - A Very Short...

    Addiction is a subject which straddles public and personal interests; societal and criminal justice concerns; and family, social, and medical responses. It is a continuing area of uncertainty and concern for society and professionals trained in the field. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction presents the basic facts about addiction: what it is, how and why it develops, how it is treated, and how society can respond to it. Addictions to both illicit drugs and licit drugs (e.g., alcohol) are covered, as is the possibility that certain behaviors not involving drug use (e.g., compulsive gambling) can qualify as addictions. Keith Humphreys provides a jargon-free account of our present understanding of addiction, from treatment evaluations to studies on the effects of public policies. He also illuminates the personal experience of addiction and recovery. Humphreys considers why some people become addicted and others do not, what treatments exist to help people who are addicted, and how the laws and regulations society establishes about drugs affects the rate and experience of addiction.

    What Is It Like to Be an Addict?...

    Owen Flanagan, an acclaimed philosopher of mind and ethics, offers a state-of-the-art assessment of addiction science and proposes a new ecumenical model for understanding and explaining substance addiction. 
     
     
     
    Flanagan has firsthand knowledge of what it is like to be an addict. That experience informs this important and novel work. He pairs the sciences that study addiction with a sophisticated view of the consciousness-brain/body relation to make his core argument: that substance addictions comprise a heterogeneous set of "psychobiosocial" behavioral disorders. He explains that substance addictions do not have one set of causes, such as self-medication or social dislocation, and they do not have one neural profile, such as a dysfunction in dopamine system. 
     
     
     
    Flanagan explores the ways addicts sensibly insist on their own responsibility to undo addiction, as well as ways in which shame for addiction can be leveraged into healing. He insists on the collective shame we all bear for our indifference to many of the psychological and social causes of addiction and explores the implications of this new integrated paradigm for practices of harm reduction and treatment. Flanagan's powerful new book upends longstanding conventional thinking and points the way to new ways of understanding and treating addiction.
