Описание: Arguing that we only have democracy when systems of power are held to account, Kaufman examines the real work being done to challenge the operations of power that underlie four unruly social problems: climate change, sweatshop labour, police abuse, and economic deprivation. In Accountability Democracy, Kaufman pairs each of these issues with an operation of power -- the large scale influence of multinational corporations; the power of governments; the authority of financial markets; and the control inherent in systems of meaning -- and using case studies like the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh and the killing of Eric Garner, forcefully demonstrates the difficulty in challenging this nexus of power.Yet, advancing a positive message, Kaufman maintains that this network is not omnipotent and can be questioned if we develop ‘mechanisms of accountability’ which allow us to conceptualise the nature of these restrictions and the action required to resist them. Kaufman provides then, a model for ethical living that allows us to investigate and appreciate our own connection to the powerful forces that control our world.

Описание: "What About Me? Challenging your new reality raising a "special" child" is a self-help book for parents of kids with special needs that primarily focuses on the well-being of the parents. Unlike most of the books about Autism which focus on the kids and strategies for their success, this book helps parents heal from the trauma of their child being different and helps them learn how to thrive in their new reality. There are countless books about Autism and the medical or therapeutic strategies of dealing with it, but has anyone thought about the parents who are the caregivers? What is their life like? There are so many "special" kids nowadays, but there are just as many, if not more, "special" adults who are raising them. "What about me? Challenging your new reality raising a "special" child" was written by a mom of a "very autistic" boy who wanted to share her personal experience and advice on how to deal with life-altering challenges when your entire world is turned upside down by your childs diagnosis. You will find effective tools and techniques for managing your new reality and healing yourself amid a constant fight for your childs well-being.
