Elton Caroline: Looking After / B

Looking After

Autism, Family and End-of-Life Care

This book demonstrates how legal knowledge is a vital, empowering tool in human rights education. Despite the centrality of international human rights law to the global rights framework, its role in human rights education (HRE) - particularly in schools and community settings - has been sidelined, dismissed as either too technical or too politically problematic. This book challenges that marginalisation head-on. It examines how legal knowledge is framed, valued, or rejected in the theory and practice of HRE, engaging critically with the prevailing trends in the field: one that gestures toward law but avoids depth, and another that disavows law entirely in favour of culturally embedded alternatives. Through a close reading of scholarship and policy, combined with insights from educational theory and socio-legal studies, the book argues for law's role as a form of "powerful knowledge" in HRE. It contends that access to and understanding of legal norms and mechanisms are not only essential for meaningful rights education but are themselves enabling rights in practice. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of human rights, legal pedagogy, and education policy, as well as practitioners developing HRE programs. It offers a timely, nuanced intervention into a field grappling with deep epistemological and political tensions, and reasserts the value of law in the struggle for rights.

The Role of Law in Human Rights Education

Every #tradwife needs a baby. Camille will get one - no matter the cost. Camille lives to embody the perfect traditional wife-cooking, cleaning, homesteading, and documenting it all for her followers. But without a baby, her image-and her following-feels incomplete. As Camille's husband begins to withdraw and his attention in her waning, Camille's desperation deepens. When Camille discovers a crumbling well hidden in the wheat field behind her new house, she is drawn to it, despite its proximity to an intimidating local forest. Unsure of what else to do, she makes a wish. Soon, she's haunted by vivid dreams she believes are divine. Then something visits her-something not quite angelic. Her belly swells unnaturally fast. Her cravings turn raw. And yet, her announcement goes viral. But as Camille's influence grows, so does the horror inside her. The life she always wanted is finally within reach... if it doesn't consume her first.

Trad Wife

A path for building wealth from the self-made Jamaican-Canadian billionaireWhat are the odds that a boy born into poverty on a small Caribbean island in the 1950s would rise to become one of the world’s few Black billionaires—standing alongside global icons like Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z and Rihanna? Against staggering odds, Michael Lee-Chin did exactly that.In The Way of Wealth, Lee-Chin tells the extraordinary story of how discipline, patience and clear principles—not luck—shaped his ascent. Born in Jamaica, he arrived in Canada in 1970 to study civil engineering, only to pivot years later into financial advising. What followed was a bold bet on himself: he acquired a struggling mutual fund company for $200,000 and transformed it into a financial powerhouse managing more than $15 billion in assets at its peak. Today, his business empire includes financial services, insurance, tourism, agriculture, consumer goods and services, real estate development, energy and targeted radionuclide therapy.At the heart of Lee-Chin’s journey is a simple, disciplined “recipe” he has followed for decades—one that guided every major decision and protected him through volatility, risk and uncertainty. In The Way of Wealth, he distills those hard-won lessons into clear, practical principles anyone can apply, regardless of background or starting point.This is a book about more than money. It’s about conviction over impulse, patience over speculation and building real, meaningful wealth one deliberate decision at a time. No matter where you are today, The Way of Wealth offers a path forward and a reminder that prosperity is not inherited, it can be built.

It is seldom, if ever, that readers and writers see the different stages of a piece of writing in progress. In this unique volume, 16 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their creative and revision processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft that recounts the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latino, Asian American, and indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or just offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging, and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. With nothing like it on the market, The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.

New York Times Bestseller and #1 Los Angeles Times BestsellerA "gripping, unshakeable firsthand account" (San Francisco Chronicle) of the firestorm that consumed Los Angeles, from the MS NOW reporter and New York Times bestselling author of Separated, who covered the fires on the ground as an LA native."Read[s] like a sci-fi thriller.” —Los Angeles TimesOn the morning of January 7, 2025, a message pinged the phone of Jacob Soboroff, a national reporter for MS NOW. “Big Palisades fire. We are evacuating,” his brother texted within minutes of the blaze engulfing the hillside behind the home where he and his pregnant wife were living. “Really bad.” An attached photo showed a huge black plume rising from behind the house, an umbrella of smoke towering over everything they owned. Jacob rushed to the office of the bureau chief.“I should go. I grew up in the Palisades.”Soon he was on the front line of the blaze—his first live report of what would turn out to be weeks covering unimaginable destruction, from both the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, in Altadena. In the days to come, Soboroff appeared across the networks of NBC News as Los Angeles was ablaze, met with displaced residents and workers, and pressed Governor Gavin Newsom in an interview on Meet the Press. But no story Soboroff has covered at home or abroad—the trauma of family separation at the border, the displacement of the war in Ukraine, the collapse of order in Haiti—could have prepared him for reporting live as the hallmarks of his childhood were engulfed in flames around him while his hometown burned to the ground.But for Soboroff, questions remained after the fires were controlled: what had he just witnessed? How could it have happened? Is it inevitable something like it will happen again? This set Soboroff off on months of reporting—with firefighters, fire victims, political leaders, academics, earth scientists, wildlife biologists, meteorologists and more—that made him keenly aware of how the misfortune of seeing his past carbonize was also a form of time travel into the dystopian world his children will inhabit. This is because the 2025 LA fires were not an isolated tragedy, but rather they are a harbinger—"the fire of the future," in the words of one senior emergency—management official.Firestorm is the story of the costliest wildfire in American history, the people it affected and the deeply personal connection to one journalist covering it. It is a love letter to Los Angeles, a yearning to understand the fires, and why America’s new age of disaster we are living through portends that—without a reckoning of how Los Angeles burned—there is more yet, and worse, to come.

Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America's New Age of Disaster

This book explores the evolving role of EU State aid in an era defined by recurring crises and rapid policy shifts. Once a tool narrowly focused on correcting market failures, State aid now drives industrial strategy and resilience across the European Union. The book examines key developments in CJEU jurisprudence and European Commission practice, including the application of the Market Economy Investor Principle and the Altmark test. It analyses how State aid has responded to major challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the green transition, highlighting the impact of temporary frameworks and unprecedented regulatory flexibility. Drawing on detailed case studies from selected Member States, it identifies trends in aid design, notification, and allocation, offering insights into how national strategies intersect with EU rules. With a focus on legal and policy innovation, the book provides a timely and authoritative account of State aid's transformation. Essential reading for academics, practitioners, policymakers, and students, this book delivers a comprehensive understanding of how EU State aid is adapting to a turbulent geopolitical and economic landscape.

Correcting Market Failures and Building Resilience

Redefining EU State Aid Policy

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

The go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming accent and linguistic bias in the workplace. The way you speak can determine everything from whether you get hired or promoted, to whether people listen to you in meetings. It can affect the strength of your business relationships and reputation, but also whether people think they can trust you. We hear accents loud and clear, yet often they are quietly derailing our efforts to create inclusive work environments where every voice is heard. Linguistic discrimination is still unrecognized in the great majority of Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DEI) circles, yet it underpins every type of discrimination in the workplace from race and age to gender, neurodiversity and even sexuality. It is the hidden bias that is derailing even the best DEI efforts. Accent Matters is the go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming linguistic bias in the workplace. Through fascinating stories and examples of accent bias from all over the world, you'll find out how you've been conditioned to prefer certain accents over others, and how those preferences interfere with the way you listen to and interact with those around you. For those who have accents, but especially for those who think they don't, this book will be an eye-opening journey into a fundamental bias that affects every aspect of our lives, both professionally and personally.

SpringerBriefs in Population Studies

Population Studies of Japan

Despite the remarkably serious problems caused by aging and population decline in Japan, there are very few books that inform the world about them in English. Through this book, a Japanese economic demographer clearly shows the various economic consequences of population problems in Japan, especially the impacts of continuing ultra-low fertility and the world's highest life expectancy in the post-demographic transition phase. The explanation is at a basic level but covers the overall economic issues including labor, capital, technical progress, consumption, savings and investment from a demographic perspective. Finally, some remedies for economic growth in Japan are proposed. Because economic policies are expected to have short-term effects while demographic ones to increase the fertility rate need some time to take effect, earlier books about the Japanese economy have hardly ever dealt with demographic policies. Furthermore, this book directly addresses the integrated economic and demographic policies appropriate to Japan. These are different from the French natalistic social policy, the Scandinavian policy of a work-life balance or the immigration policy in Australia or the United States. This book emphasizes the power of local communities in Japan as a part of East Asia. In this sense, the book provides a new key to readers who are interested in the future Japanese economy and population.
