Herry: Beyond Policy: Political Will,
Implementation, and Location Hinder Hou

Beyond Policy: Political Will, Implementation, and Location Hinder Housing Programs

This book examines policy interventions ranging from those related to finance and tenure to building materials and processes. Urbanization is growing in both developed and developing countries. The proportion of the world’s urban population is expected to increase to about 57% by 2050, and the share of Africa's urban population is project to increase to 60% by the same year. As a result of this phenomenal growth in urban population, urbanization and urban poverty have begun to dominate the development discourse again after years of focusing on rural development.
Housing is a crucial issue for the urban poor, who are often concentrated in informal settlements that often do not have sufficient access to infrastructure, health, and education services. The urban poor overwhelmingly lack land to build their own houses or access to financing that would allow them to purchase or build homes. Furthermore, housing provision has largely fallen to central governments, and policy has largely overlooked the capacity of the urban poor—as individuals and communities—to provide housing for themselves.
This book engages these challenges and assumptions, offering insight into political, economic, environmental, and financial frameworks that can help facilitate adequate housing options. Drawing on examples from 14 case studies across sub-Saharan Africa, these contributions center the urban poor in initiatives to develop housing infrastructure, offering lessons for researchers and governments looking to address an ever-escalating housing crisis.

Eine Personengruppe wird in der Diskussion um die Vermeidung der Ersatzfreiheitsstrafe bislang vernachlässigt: obdachlose Menschen. Diese Menschen stellt das Werk in den Mittelpunkt und analysiert anhand leitfadengestützter Interviews, welchen Einschränkungen sie bei der Wahrnehmung Gemeinnütziger Arbeit unterliegen und welche Optimierungsmöglichkeiten bestehen. Die Arbeit zeigt sowohl Hindernisse auf, die in der Lebenswelt der Obdachlosigkeit an sich begründet liegen als auch solche, die in den Einstellungen, Motiven und Verhaltensweisen der obdachlosen Geldstrafenschuldner wurzeln. Trotz der Heterogenität der Menschen bestehen große Spielräume dafür, die Gemeinnützige Arbeit den Betroffenen verstärkt zugänglich zu machen.

Grundfragen des Straf- und Sicherheitsrechts

Benedikt Linder's study fills a research gap on minimum penalties, a topic rarely explored despite a high legislative interest. It examines their legal, constitutional, and practical implications, showing through empirical data that excessive minimum penalties are rarely applied and usually avoided in practice. The work outlines the various problems caused by this phenomenon and suggests possible solutions.

A reimagined approach to owning and running a law firm

You built your law firm to serve clients and make a difference, not to be buried in stalled cases, late nights, and last-minute emergencies while the numbers stubbornly refuse to add up. The challenge is that most firms still run on an outdated, top-down model that puts all the weight on the owner, fuels burnout, and slows everything down.

Thriving and innovative firm owner Simone Fulmer Gaus shares the simple, proven framework she developed to reinvent her practice-replacing the owner-heavy hierarchy with a modern, self-managing approach built on purpose, shared values, and genuine respect for the people who make the firm run. The Set-Up guides you through five interconnected pillars-People, Pipeline, Process, Product, and Profitability-so you can
build a team that's aligned, accountable, and invested in the firm's success;
create systems that keep cases moving and cash flowing;
shift from reactive firefighting to confident, intentional leadership; and
know how to tackle challenges in every part of your firm.



With humor, candor, and relatable stories from daily law firm life, Fulmer Gaus shares examples every owner will recognize-from the overworked assistant to the bright-eyed paralegal to the grateful client-along with practical tools like workflow tracking and cash flow management you can put to work right away.

Simone Fulmer Gaus proves that firms don't have to run on chaos, lose money, or leave owners exhausted. The Set-Up helps you build a firm that sustains itself-and in the process, sustains you.

Sind die OECD-Leitsätze für multinationale Unternehmen weiche oder harten Normen? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage unternimmt das Werk eine Bestandsaufnahme zu Erhärtungserscheinungen der mittlerweile fünfzigjährigen Leitsätze. Das Werk erfasst und beschreibt Erhärtungserscheinungen in Bezug auf die Nachverfolgung der Leitsätze durch Nationale Kontaktstellen und Investitionsausschuss, ihre Rechtsverbindlichkeit, ihre Interaktion mit rechtsverbindlichen Instrumenten und ihre inhaltliche Präzisierung. Für Letzteres sucht das Werk im aus hunderten Aussprüchen bestehenden Fallmaterial von Kontaktstellen und Investitionsausschuss nach der Entstehung einer kohärenten Entscheidungspraxis zu bislang wenig beleuchteten Fragen der Leitsätze.

Women's healthcare is in crisis. It's time to empower women to fight for the care they deserve.'Sizzling with rage and disbelief, here's to a much-needed women's health revolution.' Emma Barnett'This book will inspire women to be stronger advocates for themselves so they can access the healthcare they both need and deserve.' Dr Louise Newson--Female health issues have been an afterthought and sidelined for too long. It's Probably Nothing exposes the truth about how women seeking help with their health have been repeatedly failed.Drawing on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed, Naga Munchetty explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny. She hears from dozens of women and their loved ones who have sought care only to be told that their symptoms are normal or all in their head. These testimonies highlight the consequences of not being heard, which has left so many living in pain, with chronic and life-changing conditions.This book illustrates the common problems women face and offers insights from doctors and experts on what we're entitled to at every stage. It will arm women and their loved ones with the information and confidence to successfully advocate for the best health outcomes.Women want to be listened to. Women want to be healthy. Women deserve to live their best lives now. It's Probably Nothing highlights the urgent need for change.

AI for Legal Practice is a practical guide for lawyers, law students, legal educators, and legal professionals who want to understand what AI tools can do, where they fail, and how to use them responsibly in real legal work. The book covers the full lifecycle of AI-assisted legal practice, from understanding how generative AI actually works and where it fails, to prompt engineering, research, drafting, redlining, litigation, discovery, client communication, intake, practice management, and governance. It introduces the Prompt Blueprint framework for building reliable legal prompts and includes more than 100 ready-to-use prompts organized by task type. Grounded in ABA Formal Opinion 512 and Model Rules 1.1, 1.6, 3.3, 5.1, and 5.3, the book addresses competence, supervision, confidentiality, client disclosure, court certification requirements, data classification, HIPAA considerations, privilege protection, and AI governance and regulation. Each chapter includes concrete examples, named frameworks, and a hands-on Mini-Lab. Seven appendices and a companion resource site provide checklists, templates, scorecards, workflow logs, tool cards, and a 124-term glossary. This is not a book about AI hype or abstract theory. It is a working guide for real legal practice that shows not only how to use AI tools, but how to do so without losing judgment, credibility, or control.

Looking After

* New York Times Bestseller * *&nbsp;USA TODAY Bestseller * * Independent Press Bestseller * Concrete Botany is a gritty, kick-in-the-guts look at the ecological disturbance humans have caused and the resilience of the plants living amongst it. Delivered in his raw and unapologetic yet botanically accurate tone, Joey Santore—the unforgettable host of&nbsp;Crime Pays but Botany Doesn’t—offers an often unsettling view of human-caused ecological destruction and its impact on the natural ecosystems our very lives depend on. The choices of modern civilization have led to a f***ed-up planet, scraped bare and covered in concrete and invasive species. We’ve wiped out entire ecosystems, moved invasive plants to new continents where they don’t belong, and, in a few hundred years, we’ve managed to muck up the intricate balance of a planet that has been evolving for eons.&nbsp;The consequences of our actions are now at our doorstep, ready to strike a match. But not all is lost. In this groundbreaking examination of plants and their role in the Anthropocene (the age of human disturbance), we see light through the cracks in the concrete and learn that humanity’s course correction starts with an understanding of plant ecology. With this knowledge comes the realization that the lives of humans and plants are interconnected in ways humans cannot live without. Plants are the base of every terrestrial ecosystem on the planet, and their presence can heal the damage humanity has caused. Our willingness to restore native plant communities and the biodiversity they support (starting in our immediate surroundings) is an essential first step in the right direction.&nbsp; While returning every abandoned brownfield and old rail corridor into a native plant–filled, fully restored ecosystem may be out of reach for the average citizen, fostering the native ecology and biodiversity of our own backyards is not. Concrete Botany is ultimately about how the choices we make as individuals can help ensure humanity’s survival on a very disturbed and rapidly changing planet.

The Ecology of Plants in the Age of Human Disturbance

Concrete Botany

In a world shaken by crises, calls to stand up for one's own values and convictions are commonplace. Lawyers, too, are more and more openly acknowledging, if not embracing, the fact that their personal convictions shape their work. They openly view the law as an instrument for improving the world, though they understand this to mean very different things. This volume builds on this observation and asks what role such convictions play in the practice and scholarship of law, what role they can or should play, and what attitude is legitimate or even necessary for lawyers.
