Social vulnerability in Europe

by Costanzo Ranci (2010)

About this book

This book explores the dimensions and characteristics of social vulnerability in Western Europe. As the literature on 'new social risks' grows, there is an increasing need for analysis which shows the actual diffusion and intensity of such risks. This volume examines income level, housing conditions, employment, the provision of care for children and dependent persons, family organisation and difficulties arising in the transition to adulthood. It concerns individuals who are permanently exposed to instability and weak integration into society. Providing a comparative analysis, the book identifies the different profiles of vulnerability that exist in a number of different 'macro-regions' which make up Western Europe.

The Teapublican book of lies

Gary LaMaster

Every day, the Republican Party and Tea Party repeat a variety of myths, half-truths and lies that are provably false. Yet the media seems reluctant to expose them. With repetition, these lies eventually become accepted as the truth. This book not only exposes the lies. It provides ammunition to help Democrats and Progressives fight back. The author has researched 50 of the most popular lies and presented his findings in a succinct, easy-to-read format. It?s like a guidebook for debating your conservative family and friends.
