Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Male and white privilege are on the decline, yet elite privilege has gone from strength to strength. The privileges enjoyed by the rich and powerful are not only unfair but cause widespread harm, from the everyday slights and humiliations visited on those lower down the scale to the distortions in the labour market when elites use their networks to secure plum jobs, not least in new domains such as professional sports.In this book, Clive Hamilton and Myra Hamilton show that elite privilege is not a mere by-product of wealth but an organising principle for society as a whole. They explore the practices and processes that sustain, legitimise and reproduce elite privilege and show how we are all implicated in the system, both facilitating it and tolerating its harmful effects.Building on their original fieldwork and a wide range of other sources, the authors paint a vivid picture of the micropolitics of elite privilege, highlighting in particular the vital role played by exclusive private schools. Ranging across topics as diverse as 'glamour suburbs', philanthropy, Rhodes scholarships and super-yachts, The Privileged Few delves beneath attempts at concealment to expose how the elites keep getting away with it.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if the state as we know it didn't exist Our air would be poisonous, our votes uncounted, and our markets dysfunctional. Yet across the world, in countries as diverse as Hungary, Israel, the U.K., and the U.S., attacks on the modern state and its workforce are intensifying. They are morphing into power grabs by self-aggrandizing politicians who attempt to seize control of the state for themselves and their cronies. What replaces the modern state once it is fatally undermined is not the free market and the flowering of personal liberty. Instead, the death of government agencies organized under the rule of law inevitably leads to the only realistic alternative: the rule of men. In The Assault on the State, political scientists Stephen Hanson and Jeffrey Kopstein offer an impassioned plea to defend modern government against those who seek to destroy it. They dissect the attack on the machinery of government from its origins in post-Soviet Russia to the core powers of Western democracy. The dangers of state erosion imperil every aspect of our lives. Hanson and Kopstein outline a strategy that can reverse this destructive trend before humanity is plunged back into the pathological personalistic politics of premodern times. Also available as an audiobook.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A practical approach to clinical interventions applicable to a range of mental health diagnosesIntegrated Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) for Adults is a guide for practitioners looking for evidence-based clinical interventions that are portable across settings and diagnoses. Written in plain English and with an emphasis on step-by-step instructions, this valuable toolkit collects strategies and interventions that have been shown to be effective in substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, and beyond. This widely applicable treatment approach draws on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy, mindfulness, functional analysis, and other methods that are strongly supported in the literature. With content reflecting emerging research findings and evolving social contexts, this book is both timely and firmly rooted in science.After presenting a set of proven techniques for motivational interviewing and CBT, this book details a 16-session course designed to fit within conventional models of therapeutic practice.
