Synopsis

Polluted Air examines the pervasive issue of air pollution, asserting that it poses a significant threat to public health globally, stemming from industrial practices, transportation, and individual behaviors. Despite increased awareness, effective strategies for reducing exposure remain underdeveloped.

 
For instance, did you know that air pollution disproportionately affects low-income communities, raising critical social justice issues? Or that pollutants are categorized as primary (emitted directly) and secondary (formed through atmospheric reactions)?

 
The book explores the historical and scientific context of air pollution, tracing its evolution from localized incidents to a global crisis. It's structured into three sections, dissecting the causes (industrial emissions, vehicular exhaust), investigating health effects (respiratory, cardiovascular), and exploring mitigation strategies (emissions control technologies, policy interventions). The evidence is drawn from scientific literature and government reports. Each chapter concludes with actionable steps.

 
Written in an accessible style, Polluted Air is suitable for a broad audience, including students, policymakers, and concerned citizens. The book fairly addresses debates regarding the contribution of different sources and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. It empowers readers to become informed advocates for cleaner air and healthier communities.

    Counsellors and psychotherapists are faced with ever-increasing complexity in their work with adolescents. In this book, Bronagh Starrs offers an understanding of developmental and therapeutic process from a relational-phenomenological Gestalt perspective. 
     
     
     
    Starrs shows how the adolescent's presenting symptom issues are statements of compromised life space integrity and demonstrates therapeutic sensibility to the adolescent's first-person experience. Throughout the book, the clinician is offered extensive relational and creative strategies to support integrity repair for the adolescent. The developmental impact of various life space contexts are discussed, including parental separation, complex family configuration, grief, adoption, and emerging sexual orientation and gender experience. Therapeutic responses to common creative adjustments are explored including anxiety, school refusal, depression, self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, alcohol and drug use, and sexual trauma. 
     
     
     
    Adolescent Psychotherapy will help counsellors and psychotherapists to develop deeper levels of competency in their work as adolescent psychotherapists, as they navigate the complex and fascinating experience of therapy with teenagers. This exceptional contribution is suitable for both experienced practitioners and students of counselling and psychotherapy.

    Bizarre Laws & Curious Customs...

    In the UK, we have some bizarre laws that have littered the statute books of our sceptred isle throughout history. Not all of them have been repealed over the centuries. Some of them made perfect sense at the time they were introduced but seen through modern eyes, now appear archaic and draconian. Despite the great efforts of the Law Commission in England and Wales to review and recommend reforms for many of these outdated laws, there are centuries of law that must be painstakingly gone through. 
    As well as some bizarre laws, the UK also has its fair share of curious customs and time-honoured traditions that have been observed for centuries. On the surface, many appear to be nothing more than theatrical pomp and pageantry. However, they are all born from strong rationale. 
    The UK parliament seems to have had a particular penchant for passing laws related to fish and animals, indecency and passing sentences with some humiliating public punishments. 
    This book is a highly entertaining read for anyone who enjoys learning about the more bizarre applications of UK law throughout the centuries, along with some rather macabre consequences along the way. 
    Have you ever heard a bizarre law and thought, that can’t possibly be true? Is it genuine? Was it ever in existence or just an urban myth that became so embellished over time? There are surprisingly, a great many laws still in existence on the statute books today, that would make your jaw drop. Whilst bizarre as these laws may now seem to us, it begs the question, are we in fact, unknowingly breaking these laws on a regular basis? 
    With over 130 bizarre but nevertheless true, laws and customs, you can use this book to satisfy your curiosity about what our ancestors had to contend with over the years, or perhaps as a reference guide for trivia quizzes.
