The University of Chicago Press Walking Wounded: Festering and Ricocheting Trauma After Gun Violence
GTIN: 9780226848457 Raamatud
"Gun violence is a plague on this country. Last year more than 48,000 Americans died of gunshot wounds, a shame on this nation. Sociologist Jooyoung Lee focuses in this book on people who have been shot, but who have survived to tell the tale-in fact, about eighty percent of shooting victims survive their injuries. But what kind of life follows? With rich, empathetic detail, Lee shares from the lives of gunshot victims in Philadelphia-mostly men, mostly Black-after they have been released from clinical care. The long-term health impacts of gun violence are substantial. Trying to perform routine tasks with a wounded body reminds gunshot victims that they are no longer who they used to be. Acute injuries from shootings often fester into new health problems. And of course, the aftereffects are not just physical: Lee shows how trauma ricochets through a victim's social world as family members and friends are affected by a loved one's injuries and trauma. Lee closes by urging a sensible and sensitive rehabilitative system that would provide the walking wounded with ways of becoming independent again"-- A sobering encounter with lives transformed by gun violence and an urgent call to build more comprehensive systems to care for wounded people. Gun violence is a plague in the United States; even survivors experience suffering that wreaks havoc on their lives and our communities. Although excellent emergency trauma care means that eighty percent of shooting victims do not die from their injuries, surviving is only the first step. Most find themselves trapped in a healthcare and judicial system that only amplifies their pain, trauma, and uncertainty. In The Walking Wounded, Jooyoung Lee invites readers into the hospitals, courtrooms, and porches where gunshot victims struggle to rebuild their lives. Drawing from years of fieldwork in Philadelphia, Lee shows how victims’ injuries fester into new problems over time in the absence of meaningful follow-up care. Attempting routine tasks with a wounded body reminds survivors that they are no longer who they used to be—both physically and socially. Lee shows how trauma ricochets through a victim’s world as family and friends are also affected by their injuries. To make matters worse, Lee argues that existing government safety nets place victims into ever more precarious circumstances that compound their suffering. In the face of healthcare and judicial systems that fail wounded people, Lee urges a sensible and sensitive rehabilitative process aimed at equipping the walking wounded with ongoing care that aspires for more than mere survival: regaining independent lives.

TEMPLAR BOOKS Bear and the Seed
GTIN: 9781787418905 Raamatud
A gorgeously lyrical folktale about the importance of protecting our environment by Greenaway-shortlisted Poonam Mistry. Bear lives in the bountiful forest, filled with breathtaking flowers and plants, and trees that tower up to the sun. One night, the trees and plants disappear and when the animals wake up, they begin to flee the forest in grief. But when Bear finds a lonely seed, he works tirelessly to help it grow, seeking words of advice from the few animals that pass by. He shades it from the harsh wind and cold snowy season, but nature's power is unavoidable and soon it is time for him to hibernate. Bear hopes that by the time he wakes up, his determination will help the forest renew. Autorid: Poonam Mistry

Oxford University Press Muhammad: A Very Short Introduction
Tootekood: 04353678 GTIN: 9780199559282 Raamatud
As the founder of Islam Muhammad is one of the most influential figures in history. The furor surrounding the Satanic Verses and the Danish cartoon crisis reminded the world of the tremendous importance of the prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Learning about his life and understanding its importance, however, has always proven difficult. Our knowledge of Muhammad comes from the biography of him written by his followers, but Western historians have questioned the reliability of this story in their quest to uncover the 'historical Muhammad'. As modern controversies have shown, whatever the truth about Muhammad's life, his persona has taken on numerous shapes and played a crucial role in Muslim life and civilization. This Very Short Introduction provides an introduction to the major aspects of Muhammad's life and its importance, providing both the Muslim and Western historical perspectives. It also explains the prominent roles that Muhammad's persona has played in the Islamic world, from the medieval to the modern period. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

'Lays bare the realities of a sporting career'Lord Sebastian Coe'Gripping, revealing and honest'Steve Cram OBE'A gripping read ... Iwan runs and runs and runs, and arrives at himself'Jeremy VineRunning has been Iwan Thomas's life. He put everything into becoming and remaining an elite athlete to such a point that his efforts left him scarred.Iwan reveals the highs of his career, but also his battles with the dark side of running – the loneliness, the doubts, the hurt and, ultimately, the serious mental health issues. After a youthful stint as a world-class BMX rider, Iwan dedicated himself to running. Between 1995 and 1998, he became one of the world's fastest men, taking silver in the 4x400m at the Olympics and gold at the European and World Championships. Yet, although his British 400m record of 44.36s would stand unbroken for 25 years, niggling injuries were already beginning to limit his ability to compete with the best.His response to setbacks had always been to train even harder, but this was no longer an option. Without the structure of training, the motivation of competition and the buzz of race day, Iwan struggled. He suffered an extended period of anxiety and depression, before eventually coming to terms with his life as a former athlete. In this deeply reflective, utterly engaging and sensationally open book, Iwan shares an absorbing, sometimes uncomfortable, but totally memorable story, and finally reveals the truth behind his life in sport. Brutal is an unflinching memoir from a sporting great

GTIN: 9781032586786 Raamatud
This timely and innovative book explores the dynamics of inter-island/island-island tourism – also known as archipelago tourism – on the cusp of the post-pandemic epoch.Embellished with illustrative maps and diagrams, the volume examines what novel approaches have been developed, if at all, so as not to repeat past mistakes, and nurture a more sustainable, 'island tourism' business model. It looks at how the political-economic relationship between main and outer islands changed during the pandemic and, if so, whether this shift has had a bearing on current tourism policy. The book also explores how these and other changes are reflected in how: islands are branded; island destinations are marketed; and island transport logistics play out. An array of archipelagos of varying sizes and locations is explored, assuring a global perspective. The book furthers our understanding of core-periphery dynamics in archipelago tourism.The volume will be of interest to students, researchers, policy makers and academics in the fields of tourism policy and planning, sustainability, island studies and development studies.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Migration as Economic Imperialism: How International Labour Mobility Undermines Economic Development in Poor Countries
GTIN: 9781509553990 Raamatud
For several decades, wealthy states, international development agencies and multinational corporations have encouraged labour migration from the Global South to the Global North. As well as providing essential workers to support the transformation of advanced economies, the remittances that migrants send home have been touted as the most promising means of national development for poor and undeveloped countries. As Immanuel Ness argues in this sharp corrective to conventional wisdom, temporary labour migration represents the most recent form of economic imperialism and global domination. A closer look at the economic and social evidence demonstrates that remittances deepen economic exploitation, unravel societal stability and significantly expand economic inequality between poor and rich societies. The book exposes the damaging political, economic and social effects of migration on origin countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and how border and security mechanisms control and marginalize low-wage migrant workers, especially women and youth. Ness asserts that remittances do not bring growth to poor countries but extend national dependence on the export of migrant workers, leading to warped and unequal development on the global periphery. This expert take will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of migration and development across the social sciences. Autorid: Immanuel Ness

GTIN: 9780907871286 Raamatud
When the Japanese take Borneo in 1942, Agnes Keith is captured and imprisoned with her two-year-old son. Fed on minimal rations, forced to work through recurrent bouts of malaria and fighting with rats for scraps of food, Agnes Keith's spirit never completely dies. Keeping notes on scraps of paper which she hides in her son's home-made toys or buries in tins, she records a mother's pain at watching her child go hungry and her poignant pride in his development within these strange confines. She also describes her captors in all their complexity. Colonel Suga, the camp commander, is an intelligent, highly educated man, at times her adversary, at others a strange ally in a distorted world. Autorid: Agnes Keith

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sport, National Identities and the Media: Battling Brits
GTIN: 9781041028956 Raamatud
This book examines the relationship between sport, the media and national identities in Great Britain. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport, sport media, the politics of sport, the politics of identity, nationalism, or media studies. This book examines the relationship between sport, the media and national identities in Great Britain. It draws upon case studies of different sporting events and stories, looking at the ways in which the media (re)present different narratives of the nation(s). It focuses on the intersections between different parts of Great Britain, such as matches between two British nations within international football competitions. It also explores contested claims for national sporting glory through the achievements of individual athletes and teams. From Andy Murray’s success in tennis, to the portrayal of Team GB athletes born outside of the United Kingdom, the book shines new light on ongoing debates about the perceived fragility of the United Kingdom and the place of Great Britain and its constituent parts within a post-Brexit Europe. In looking at the prestigious Sports Personality of the Year award, it considers how and where discourses of the nation intersect and what this can tell us about the significance of social issues such as gender and racial equality in sport and in wider society. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport, sport media, the politics of sport, cultural identities, nationalism, or media studies.

University of Hawai'i Press Crafting Everyday Food: Technology, Tradition, and Transformation in Modern East Asia
GTIN: 9798880700066 Raamatud
Focusing on East Asia from the nineteenth century to the present, Crafting Everyday Food highlights the role of technology in transforming traditional foods into modern ones and in reinventing industrialized foods as heritage foods. The seven expert researchers adopt a unique technological perspective to trace the transformation of traditional fermented foodstuffs typical of the region—kimchi, soy sauce, koji, and tea—and the appropriation of new foods of nonlocal origin, such as beef and potato, into Asian diets. The essays discuss how modern technologies reconstructed traditional or “authentic” foods, showing how global flows of commodities, experts, and consumers, as well as the circulation of knowledge and practices, shaped the East Asian foodscape. Weaving together science and technology studies with historical studies, the volume generates innovative approaches to thinking about technological change, everyday life, and the foodways of East Asia as a region. Understanding how these technological evolutions have transformed food production and consumption provides new insights into the complex processes of industrialization and the roles of taste and heritage in East Asian modernity. Each chapter takes up a unique food item with its own complex past and traces gradual—and at times dramatic—change, allowing new relationships to emerge between the creators, consumers, and their surrounding world. Truly multidisciplinary in approach, Leung and Stevens bring together scholars and methods from a range of fields into a coherent transnational dialogue, resulting in an innovative way to define East Asia without relying on geographic or linguistic boundaries. The study of “everyday” foods, consumed by ordinary people on a day-to-day basis, provides a productive perspective for understanding East Asian cultures as sociotechnical systems, pushing back the role of elite and special foods as privileged objects in the discipline of food studies.

SelfMadeHero Little Prince: A graphic novel adapted from the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
GTIN: 9781914224461 Raamatud
Meet the original Boy Who Fell to Earth. Stranded in the Sahara Desert, an aircraft pilot meets a strange little boy who tells him of his journey from another world. The Little Prince, by the French writer, illustrator, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, was written and published during the Second World War, to immediate acclaim, and its classic status has been embraced ever since. Whether as a childrens fairy tale or an existentialist fable, religious parable or political allegory, the secret treasure of its complex simplicity has only unfolded further truths over the years, like the petals of the precious flower of friendship it celebrates. Vividly realized here, for yet another new generation, by the award-winning graphic novelist Joann Sfar, this stunning adaptation celebrates the 80th anniversary of its French edition, and confirms its wisdom of ages: that life (and love) can be hard; that grown-ups are very strange; and that our precious planet is intrinsic with our universal Nature. De Saint-Exupérys aircraft disappeared in the wartime skies over the Mediterranean in July 1944, and his death has remained a mystery ever since. The only reason to speak in riddles, he wrote, in his prophetic masterpiece, is to solve them. Autorid: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Joann Sfar, Sarah Ardizzone

'Achingly exquisite prose as concentrated as poetry, as unfailing an ear for the cadences and quirks of Belfast dialogue as Roddy Doyle has for Dublin and a fatalistic sense of suspense' Sunday Times 'Impressively confident . . . as lean and grimly purposeful a book as the demon-driven terrorist it sets out to explore' Jonathan Coe 'One of the most outstanding pieces of Irish fiction to come along in years' Irish Times In this harrowing, haunting debut novel by one of Ireland's most acclaimed writers, Eoin McNamee conjures a dreamlike appraisal of the roots of violence, in a city where reality has long since succumbed to the lure of conspiracy and paranoia. The central character is Victor Kelly, an Irish Protestant with a Catholic last name, a man with an artistic sense of violence and a fondness for John Dillinger movies. He is a killer in Belfast, a city of shadowed streets, abandoned alleyways, and dark, deserted spaces, a city that is as familiar and strange as any other - Los Angeles, Sarajevo, Paris, or Berlin. A city threatened and defined by invisible boundaries, where geography is the key to survival, and every sensory detail assumes the utmost importance. Victor's works of art are found kneeling, hands raised in supplication, the ragged lines of death cut deeply into their bodies. Kelly works under the protection of his own political organization, but as his murders become more terrifying and extreme, and the police investigation intensifies, he finds himself caught in a web of allegiance and betrayal.
