Book Synopsis Changing Addiction Problems and Care Responses During and After a Major Crisis: Emergence of a ‘New Normal' by : John Strang
Download or read book Changing Addiction Problems and Care Responses During and After a Major Crisis: Emergence of a ‘New Normal' written by John Strang and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-24 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its lifesaving role, addiction treatment and care are often among the first domains to lose resources when a crisis strikes. Across the world disruptions in addiction-related care during the Covid-19 pandemic, armed conflict, or radical political change have been documented. But what happens after the crisis is typically unknown. How do addiction-related problems change during a crisis, and what are the responses at individual and societal level? How do crises affect causes, prevalence, incidence, or severity of addiction in different regions and populations? Does the addiction care system permanently collapse or is the breakdown temporary and reversible? How does a crisis evolve and what happens to addiction care services and their beneficiaries over time? Is residual damage to addiction care services inevitable or can a crisis create opportunities for positive change at individual, organizational, and/or system level? Are harms and benefits (un)equally distributed among different addiction stakeholder groups? And finally, what does a ‘new normal’ look like in addiction and addiction care, and what (new) norms underpin it? These questions not only encompass the importance of such a topic, but also the implications on public health that are applicable worldwide that need to be addressed.
Download or read book The Fatal Breath written by David Vincent and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fatal Breath is the first full-scale history of the Covid-19 pandemic in Britain. Deploying a rich archive of personal testimonies together with a wide range of research reports and official data, it presents a moving and challenging account of the crisis that enveloped Britain (and the world) in the spring of 2020. With sensitivity, care, and an historian’s critical eye, David Vincent places the pandemic in context. While much contemporary commentary has assumed people were forced to develop entirely new ways of living and working during lockdown, Vincent reveals how the population was able to draw upon a wealth of resources and coping strategies already seen over the centuries, often reacting far more quickly and effectively than slow-moving authorities. He tells the stories of doctors’ and nurses’ time on the frontlines, reveals the true extent of supply shortages, conspiracy theories, and vaccine resistance, and explores individuals’ newfound appreciation of nature and community in lockdown. The Fatal Breath will appeal to anyone seeking to reflect on the past few years and how the pandemic has changed Britain – for better and for worse.
Book Synopsis A Nation in Crisis by : Neville Kirk
Download or read book A Nation in Crisis written by Neville Kirk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 2007-8 financial crisis and its aftershocks, international capitalism has once again been in crisis. The crisis has been particularly marked in the UK and its outcome is currently unclear. Based upon a wealth of sources, from newspapers, journals, government, political party and polling organisation publications, as well as archival and secondary material, Neville Kirk examines the systemic crisis facing the nations of the UK. The book traces the crisis from the period following the 2016 EU referendum up to 2022, a period during which the crisis intensified and became more widespread. Kirk covers the elections of 2017 and 2019, political fragmentation, Scottish nationalism, Brexit, the coronavirus pandemic, continuing economic problems and conflicts around class, gender, race and nation. Finally, the book considers competing pathways out of the current impasse. Through his thorough examination of the UK's main political parties and players, Kirk offers the reader a new and original understanding of how we reached the present situation.
Book Synopsis Democratic Consolidation and Constitutional Endurance in Asia and Africa by : Tom Gerald Daly
Download or read book Democratic Consolidation and Constitutional Endurance in Asia and Africa written by Tom Gerald Daly and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What factors drive constitutional change and sustain positive transformation? How are democratic values recognised, restored, and preserved through constitutional change? Democratic Consolidation and Constitutional Endurance in Asia and Africa is a well-articulated response to the growing scholarly conversation on democratic backsliding and resilience. Bringing together leading and emerging voices in constitutional law, this groundbreaking new collection considers recent democratising events in Ethiopia, The Gambia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Across seven thematic chapters and seven case studies, the volume provides analytical insight into central topics arising from these events, including the role of political parties which depart from 'Western' frameworks; the often-marginalised place of courts; the centrality of civil-military relations; the explanatory power of constitutional culture; and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Offering a decolonising approach to constitutional law and democratisation studies, this book will be of keen interest to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers alike. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the relationship between democratic decay and institutional endurance, and how such a relationship plays out in conditions of ongoing constitutional development.

Book Synopsis Living With Babel by : Matthew C. Gartner
Download or read book Living With Babel written by Matthew C. Gartner and published by Cherith Haven Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-30 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Truth That Most Christians Will Reject Millions of Christians have been led to believe that they are being saved by professing faith in Jesus, going to church, and trying to be good, while otherwise living lives that are fundamentally as worldly, as the unbelievers around them. This patterned discipleship, practiced in almost all churches, attempts to join faith in God, with faith, comfort, and approval in the world. It seeks to have eternal life later, and the rewards of the world now. It seeks to serve two masters. It is disguised in high words such as faith and discipleship, and affirms itself through rituals, but it lacks the genuine dependance on God, the humility that abandons worldly affirmation, and the self-sacrifice that forgoes comfort to further the Kingdom. To contrast this, the Bible proclaims a very different church and discipleship—A Church of such true belief in Christ, that its disciples are moved to sacrifice their comfort, their pride, and even their lives, to stand as a testimony to the truth and saving power of God, in a fallen world. It proclaims a Church more concerned about saving others than saving itself, and therein lies the shallowness of the churches that we see today. This should move us to question: Where is the church in the world today, and why is it so hidden, if it is supposed to be a city on a hill? "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;" Matthew 5:14 Where is the rejection by the world, of believers who stand by God's truth? "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you." John 15:19 Where is the preaching that leads believers to a true understanding of the world and true separation from the world? "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15 Where are the messengers, who are supposed to share the Good News with the 100,000 unbelievers who are perishing every day? "…How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent?…" Romans 10:14-15 Where is the true fellowship that does more than chat over coffee and meals, but instead supports, corrects, edifies, and heals fellow believers in humility, love, and truth? "We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone." 1 Thessalonians 5:14 Where is the belief in eternal life that abandons slavery to the fear of death?—the belief that was so obviously missing during the COVID-19 pandemic? "…He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives." Hebrews 2:14-15 Where is the sacrifice for Jesus, the denial of self for the growing of the Kingdom? "…If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me." Matthew 16:24 Jesus, himself, warned us: "For many are called, but few are chosen" Matthew 22:14. In this light, "Living With Babel" testifies to what scripture says the Church should be. It breaks the chains and misconceptions formed over centuries, to reveal our true purpose in God's plan of redemption for our fallen world—It is a guide on how to live with Babel.

Book Synopsis Pandemic: A Test of the News by : Alan O'Connor
Download or read book Pandemic: A Test of the News written by Alan O'Connor and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues against the rapidly expanding literature about misinformation during the Covid-19 pandemic - and that the real issues are much broader. Mainstream news media, except Fox News, has generally done a good job in educating people about the basic facts and precautions to be taken. Pandemic: A Test of the News identifies the mainframes used to tell the media story. With some exceptions such as long reads in The New Yorker and the Guardian, the media has not included the fundamental factors that caused the pandemic, the seriousness of a medical crisis that will last for several years - and the same factors that will cause the next pandemic.

Download or read book Superstates written by Alasdair Roberts and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this century, the world will conduct an extraordinary experiment in government. In 2050, forty percent of the planet's population will live in just four places: India, China, the European Union, and the United States. These are superstates – polities that are distinguished from normal countries by expansiveness, population, diversity, and complexity. How should superstates be governed? What must their leaders do to hold these immense polities together in the face of extraordinary strains and shocks? Alasdair Roberts looks to history for answers. Superstates, he contends, wrestle with the same problems of leadership, control, and purpose that plagued empires for centuries. But they also bear heavier burdens than empires – including the obligation to improve life for ordinary people and respect human rights. One axiom of history was that empires always died. Size and complexity led to fragility, and imperial rulers improvised constantly to put off the day of reckoning. Leaders of superstates are doing the same today, pursuing radically different strategies for governing at scale that have profound implications for democracy and human rights. History shows that there are ways to govern these sprawling and diverse polities well. But this requires a different way of thinking about the art and methods of statecraft.
Book Synopsis The COVID-19 Crisis: Key Social and Psychological Issues by : Eric D. Miller
Download or read book The COVID-19 Crisis: Key Social and Psychological Issues written by Eric D. Miller and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the far-reaching effects that the pandemic has had on both individuals and society at large, this book was written to be approachable for academics, students, and laypersons alike. To further amplify this point, readers will find that an eclectic mix of both (largely online-based) news articles and analyses, along with select academic papers and concepts are featured in this concise book; the inclusion of select news reports from the first two years of the pandemic helps to document how the pandemic was publicly presented—which, given the relatively ephemeral nature of the Internet, it can be especially helpful to document such sources. Some of the critical social and psychological issues regarding key developments and events (largely, though not exclusively, focused on America) and predominantly related to the first two years of the pandemic include both mental health and personal and interpersonal problems, as well as many social/societal, economic, and political consequences. Drawing from a host of varied and interdisciplinary sources, this book would be a helpful resource for (current and future) academics, scholars, clinicians, students, and anyone seeking a critical yet concise overview and analysis of some of the most pressing psychological/social scientific themes and issues pertaining to the pandemic.
