Dandelion is Dead

ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE ATLANTIC’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR • Through the “revelatory and gut-wrenching” (Associated Press) stories of five Atlanta families, this landmark work of journalism exposes a new and troubling trend—the dramatic rise of the working homeless in cities across America. “An exceptional feat of reporting, full of an immediacy that calls to mind Adrian Nicole LeBlanc’s Random Family and Matthew Desmond’s Evicted.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) FINALIST FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE, AND THE BERNSTEIN AWARD • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Washington Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Elle, New America, BookPage, Shelf Awareness The working homeless. In a country where hard work and determination are supposed to lead to success, there is something scandalous about this phrase. But skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights have produced a startling phenomenon: People with full-time jobs cannot keep a roof over their head, especially in America’s booming cities, where rapid growth is leading to catastrophic displacement. These families are being forced into homelessness not by a failing economy but a thriving one. In this gripping and deeply reported book, Brian Goldstone plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city. Maurice and Natalia make a fresh start in the country’s “Black Mecca” after being priced out of DC. Kara dreams of starting her own cleaning business while mopping floors at a public hospital. Britt scores a coveted housing voucher. Michelle is in school to become a social worker. Celeste toils at her warehouse job while undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. Each of them aspires to provide a decent life for their children—and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation’s working homeless. Through intimate, novelistic portraits, Goldstone reveals the human cost of this crisis, following parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. These are the nation’s hidden homeless—omitted from official statistics, and proof that overflowing shelters and street encampments are only the most visible manifestation of a far more pervasive problem. By turns heartbreaking and urgent, There Is No Place for Us illuminates the true magnitude, causes, and consequences of the new American homelessness—and shows that it won’t be solved until housing is treated as a fundamental human right.

Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions

This book introduces resilience-based concepts and high reliability organization (HRO) principles—adapted from disruption-prone industries—to improve risk management for tail or extreme events in U.S. globally systemically important banks (G-SIBs). HROs thrive in volatile environments by prioritizing adaptability, vigilance, resilience, and safety. Given that both G-SIBs and disruption-prone companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex settings, there is a shared need for risk management techniques centered on resilience engineering to anticipate and mitigate unexpected extreme events. While G-SIBs are “too big to fail” and provide valuable insights into resilience in high-stakes scenarios, these approaches can benefit banks of all sizes facing similar risks.
The book explores the social world of banking and management, emphasizing the subjective nature of risk as people interpret events differently. Through surveys, interviews, and case studies, the research identifies growing interest in non-predictive risk methods for bank resilience. It recommends supplementing existing quantitative risk models with a transdisciplinary approach focused on non-predictive HRO principles to help banks prevent and mitigate extreme risks. The study finds that current G-SIB risk methods rely heavily on quantitative models, which may create a false sense of security. Additionally, extreme events are increasingly compound and often driven by human behavior. The book targets scholars and professionals seeking advances in resilience engineering within banking.
Pascal vander Straeten has extensive experience in risk management across institutional and corporate banking, project finance, commercial real estate, and emerging markets, working successfully in the US, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Luxembourg, and Belgium. In 2012, he founded Value4Risk in Australia, consulting on geofinance, tail risk management, and business resilience. He holds an executive MBA from the University of Washington, a postgraduate degree in international relations from Université Catholique de Louvain, bachelor's and master's degrees in applied economics from the University of Antwerpen, and a PhD in economics from the University of Leicester's School of Management.

A Compound Integrative Risk Governance on the Management of Extreme Events

HRO Strategies for Resilient Risk Management in Banking

This edited volume argues for multidimensional, policy-relevant measures of well-being beyond GDP, integrating economic, social and environmental dimensions to guide sustainable development at regional and local levels.

Progress does not happen only by chance and is not forever: it should be sustainable and directed towards the search for possible happiness, avoiding developing societies from the exclusive side of economic growth. Realistically, each of these dimensions is important in defining individual and collective well-being, in which all these aspects should coexist in a truly balanced and sustainable development path at the local scale. An approach measuring well-being, and possibly, sustainable development, based solely on the economic sphere, is reductive and misleading as a policy-relevant tool. The complexity of the argument at stake requires refined approaches and more elaborate measures - than simple gross domestic product (GDP). 
Chapter 1 elaborates theoretically and practically on such assumptions and consists of two parts. In the first part, the theme of sustainability and the problem of analytically quantifying the well-being are treated from a theoretical and quantitative point of view, and in the second one, which is of more technical nature, official data and statistics are integrated with literature reviews, case studies and narratives of complex economic, social and environmental processes involving well-being, sustainability and local development paths, beyond the limitations found in the GDP indicator. The discussion of the limits of GDP as a measure of well-being (chapter 2) is followed by a review of the main alternative indicators available in the literature, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, and the paths of development of the research in the sector (chapters 3-6). Indicators connected to individuals' aspects of the quality of life appear as particularly relevant tools when measuring the level and advances in any sustainable development path, as they are aimed at measuring the political stability and the degree of freedom of a country (political indicators), the level and intensity of economic growth (economic indicators), the level of environmental pollution (environmental indicators) and the health development of a country (social indicators). 
Our analysis addresses this issue by considering an advanced economy investigated in independent spatial aggregates and proposing a targeted elaboration at the level of homogeneous geographical areas, to capture specialisations and territorial peculiarities that would otherwise be latent. It is possible to conceive truly sustainable economic policies relying only on instruments and indicators involving multiple dimensions, in turn promoting quality of life. Moreover, applications of this perspective at regional and local levels are important, as territories are the collecting agents guaranteeing and promoting processes of supra-individual utility, for example, environment quality or social cohesion. These institutions are responsible for the important role of outlining specific development policies for communities and the sustainable paths to be undertaken, with the aim of increasing the effective well-being of individuals. Following these assumptions, and on the basis of recent developments in the academic literature, this edited book debates extensively on these topics, offering an updated theoretical ground and pragmatic examples delineating an operational and coordinated evaluation of well-being that integrates the economic dimension with the environmental and social ones, thus assuring a more complete interpretation of complex (local) development paths.

Sustainability, Well-Being and Socio-Environmental Quality

Modern life is speeding up, constantly. While the art of saving time reaches unprecedented heights through the introduction of ever-new technologies of communication and production, it nevertheless feels as though we are running out of time. In all Western societies, time scarcity is increasing and individuals report the impression of having to run faster and faster every year - not in order to get somewhere, but just to stay where they are. In this short book Hartmut Rosa outlines his theory of social acceleration and uses it to analyze the causes and consequences of the temporal processes that characterize modern societies. He shows that modern temporal structures are governed by the logic of an acceleration process that defines the essence of modernity. He also develops a critical theory of social acceleration, arguing that acceleration leads to severe forms of alienation from time and space, from things and actions and from self and others, thus constituting a key obstacle to the realization of a 'good life' in late-modern society.

This book explores the complexity of cities as sites of warfare and investigates the ever-growing challenges for Disaster Risk Management (DRM). Through analysis of existing literature, media coverage and in-depth case studies, this title investigates the vulnerabilities of growing cities, the consequences citizens face in crises, and the effectiveness of DRM systems.
By depicting the serious global security problems that test systems of culture, governance, war and peace practices, this book encourages discussion around the present and future condition of cities. The volume investigates the impacts of urban warfare and argues for the implementation of effective DRM systems that are based on understanding of disaster risk in all its dimensions, achieved through well-designed training programs employing the latest teaching-learning theories and agile methodologies.

Perspectives on Crises

Modern Studies in European Law

This book explores discretionary decision-making in migration systems in Europe. It investigates how European law influences the existence, exercise and effects of discretion. Firstly, it argues that national lawmakers often regard discretionary decision-making as the most viable option to accommodate standards of European law in their national migration systems. Secondly, the book shows how the exercise of this power has changed from an area of free choice to an instance of legally instructed decision-making. Ultimately, it illustrates how both the proliferation and transformation of discretionary decision-making have improved the legal position of migrants in the European Union, providing a compelling interpretation of a key field of EU law.

The Hidden Virtues of Discretionary Power in European Migration Law

John Maynard Keynes’s General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money revolutionized economics. But it can be dense and cryptic, an intimidating work for the uninitiated. This companion volume approaches the argument methodically and with clarity, explaining obscure terms and breaking down Keynes’s ideas and their significance for his time and ours. Award-winning economist and author Geoff Mann allows readers to comprehend why the word "Keynesian" has become so contentious today — and so important.
