Download or read book Cardboard Condo written by Robert Greene and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about homeless people. What do you feel when you encounter one? Fear? Pity? Revulsion? Guilt? Indifference? Or, do you not see them at all? In an effort to make the reader see homeless persons as real people, each one a separate and unique individual, the author has interviewed many of them on the streets and in shelters. Most are still homeless while some have managed to re-enter society. The author wanted to know how they came to be homeless, how they survived on the street and, for those who have overcome it, how they did it. The next time you see someone sleeping in a doorway or digging half-eaten sandwiches out of a garbage can, this book will hopefully make you want to look at them in a different light.

Book Synopsis Surviving On The Streets by : Ace Backwards
Download or read book Surviving On The Streets written by Ace Backwards and published by Loompanics Unlimited. This book was released on 2002-07-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ace Backwards gives us our first real foray into the daily life of street people. Intended to be written as a how-to for anyone comtemplating or more likely thrust by circumstances into street life, it is an uncensored and candid look at an entirely different world that exists co-dependently with the one with which most of us are familiar. Ace himself admits that no book can teach you to survive the countless turbulent pitfalls awaiting you on the street - each street person's situation is unique. However, this book offers specific tips on street survival that worked - and some that didn't, which might be just as valuable for those who could learn from Ace's mistakes. For those of us who will never live on the streets, this book gives a brutally honest peek into an alien world from the eyes of a native.

Book Synopsis Surviving the Streets by : Rachel Pfeffer
Download or read book Surviving the Streets written by Rachel Pfeffer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you've ever been a girl, you will want to read this book to understand how, as an adult, you can conduct research with and for young women/girls. There are many youth cultures; this study focuses on punk-identified girls living on their own in San Francisco. Unraveling the complex social constructions of gender, poverty, being on your own, having green hair, sleeping in abandoned buildings, and the social production of space in an urban environment is groundbreaking work, because there are so few studies about young women. Researchers have ignored the, policy makers have pathologized them, and most people fear and don't like them. This study argues that young women make competent decisions in the face of dominant moralistic policies which criminalize their sexuality, independence, and spatial choices to sleep in abandoned buildings or the streets. Incorporating analyses of over 100 years of interdisciplinary research about girls and 10 years of reporting in five major national newspapers, this study gives life to the static social construction of the girl on her own in our society. Photos taken by the study participants, capturing their physical and social environments, are categorized and discussed to bring to light the sophistication of punk girls' environments and the limited choices they face. The exchange of cameras in this project also created a commodity for young women to trade on their homelessness. This book challenges the traditional notions of "youth at risk," and girls on their own, and exposes the historical betrayal of their epistemologies."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was vaguely aware of all the meth heads and dealers in the room watching me fall apart. "Give her a shot," I heard Chulengo say to someone. I didn't know whom he was talking to or what he was talking about, and before I even tried to figure it out, a strange man kneeled on the ground next to me. He grabbed my arm and told me to try to relax. I lay there lifeless, watching him and not knowing my life was getting ready to take a turn for the worst. He tightened a belt around my upper arm and closed my fist. I felt his fingers sliding up and down my arm. He pierced my skin with a sharp needle, and I saw my blood squirt back into the tube, mixing with whatever was in there. Slowly, he pushed the contents into my arm. My body became hot and the blood rushed to my head. I coughed so hard and felt my eyes widen and my heart beat faster. I had never felt a rush quite like this one. I had never been this high before. Every ounce of sadness and pain left my body and every tear I had left dried up. My whole world as I knew it had just changed in an instant.

Book Synopsis 480 Codorus Street by : Sandra L. Kearse-Stockton
Download or read book 480 Codorus Street written by Sandra L. Kearse-Stockton and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 480 Codorus Street is the first book of three. It is an autobiography of the trials and tribulations of a young Negro girl who grew up in York, Pennsylvania in the 1950s and 1960s. This book covers a period of time from Sandra's birth to becoming an adult. It is a story of Sandra Lee Kearse-Stockton's own life of encouragement and heroism. This is not a book of fiction but a book to challenge those who may be at their lowest point and in their darkest place, from domestic violence, sexual assault, and or death, to pull on their inner strength and survive whatever they are going through. Readers, this book tells the story about how America was during that time. Abuse of women and children was almost the norm in black neighborhoods. Men felt that they owned their wives and children; they were property to many men. The police did not intervene on behalf of women and children. They had no defense. In this book Sandra shares her hidden scars with the reader. She looks back and reflects upon her life, the assumptions she made about her life and her family. How does one draw the line between punishment and abuse, forgiveness and mercy, justice ad fairness? Sandra's struggle to forgive her father is overwhelming to the point that when she hears his name, her anger comes to the forefront of her deepest mental and psychological memories, which forces her to relieve the past abuse that happened at 480 Codorus Street in the 1950s.
Book Synopsis Homelessness, Health, and Human Needs by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Homelessness, Health, and Human Needs written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have always been homeless people in the United States, but their plight has only recently stirred widespread public reaction and concern. Part of this new recognition stems from the problem's prevalence: the number of homeless individuals, while hard to pin down exactly, is rising. In light of this, Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to find out whether existing health care programs were ignoring the homeless or delivering care to them inefficiently. This book is the report prepared by a committee of experts who examined these problems through visits to city slums and impoverished rural areas, and through an analysis of papers written by leading scholars in the field.
Book Synopsis Survival of the City by : Edward Glaeser
Download or read book Survival of the City written by Edward Glaeser and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our great urbanists and one of our great public health experts join forces to reckon with how cities are changing in the face of existential threats the pandemic has only accelerated Cities can make us sick. They always have—diseases spread more easily when more people are close to one another. And disease is hardly the only ill that accompanies urban density. Cities have been demonized as breeding grounds for vice and crime from Sodom and Gomorrah on. But cities have flourished nonetheless because they are humanity’s greatest invention, indispensable engines for creativity, innovation, wealth, and connection, the loom on which the fabric of civilization is woven. But cities now stand at a crossroads. During the global COVID crisis, cities grew silent as people worked from home—if they could work at all. The normal forms of socializing ground to a halt. How permanent are these changes? Advances in digital technology mean that many people can opt out of city life as never before. Will they? Are we on the brink of a post-urban world? City life will survive but individual cities face terrible risks, argue Edward Glaeser and David Cutler, and a wave of urban failure would be absolutely disastrous. In terms of intimacy and inspiration, nothing can replace what cities offer. Great cities have always demanded great management, and our current crisis has exposed fearful gaps in our capacity for good governance. It is possible to drive a city into the ground, pandemic or not. Glaeser and Cutler examine the evolution that is already happening, and describe the possible futures that lie before us: What will distinguish the cities that will flourish from the ones that won’t? In America, they argue, deep inequities in health care and education are a particular blight on the future of our cities; solving them will be the difference between our collective good health and a downward spiral to a much darker place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1st place winner of Reader Views Readers Choice Award 2014 in General Fiction/Novel. See the review at Reader Views! "The year is 1954, and Laura Justice's ambitious husband, Winton, makes a decision that shocks family and friends. He moves his Memphis family North, vowing to strike it rich on Madison Avenue and savor the pleasures of suburban life. This does not happen. The southern family is a poor fit in their New Jersey neighborhood, and loyal wife Laura feels ostracized. What's more, Winton's advertising agency soon fails, and he becomes depressed and combative. 1950s women are supposed to obey, but Laura Justice refuses to stay mute. She dares to complain when Winton launches a new business selling wire recorders (the very latest technology!) from their basement. Incensed at his uncooperative wife, Winton persists, bringing chaos to their family, including his strange parents, a creepy employee and a sexy neighbor, not to mention financial disaster. A tireless fixer, Laura tries to stem Winton's antics and stop the cash drain, to no avail. Meanwhile, the couple's children are caught in their parent's cross fire, drifting around the neighborhood and depending on neighbors for fun and attention. When 9-year old daughter Jane rises above the crisis to help police solve the crime, Laura is inspired to take action too. Defying 1950 taboos, she struggles to make a life-changing decision: Should she rein in husband Winton and his maddening life style…or at long last cut bait?
