Occupied Bodies, Recognition, and Riot is a study of the transition from traditional popular culture to the first forms of industrial popular culture among the white working population of Philadelphia. Building from a focus on ambivalent masculinity, the book argues that traditional culture was animated by apprehensions concerning male bodies and that the anxieties and pain associated with the representation of male bodies drove the dramatic transformation of Philadelphia popular culture after 1825.

Ric Caric looks at transformations in white working-class culture in Philadelphia in the decades preceding the Civil War. Considering a wide range of cultural texts songs, diaries, newspaper accounts of workplace leisure, fire company records, medical testimonies, radical political agitation, temperance activism, race riots, and minstrel performances, the author suggests that this time was a period of transformation, particularly in regard to displays and expressions of masculinity.

After several decades of unprecedented growth that turned China into the world's second largest economy, today China is facing major economic challenges, exacerbated by rising tariffs imposed by its most important export market, the United States. How can we explain the extraordinary rise and sudden faltering of China's economic miracle?

Kent Deng takes a long-term view, charting the development of China's economy from the nineteenth century to the present day. He shows that the policies implemented during Mao's rule from the 1950s to the 1970s led to a growth cul-de-sac with major economic disincentives and mass poverty. This forced Mao's successor, Deng Xiaoping, to reform and open up China's economy with a view to unleashing the economic power of the market. The new model developed by Deng Xiaoping combined state-led import dependency with exports in order to catch up with the West, and success in achieving exports depended on a unique combination of cheap labour, cheap land and low environmental protection which, taken together, gave China an absolute advantage in the global market, enabling it to produce goods very cheaply and export them to Western countries where the costs were much higher. But Deng's economic model is now facing increasing resistance from those countries on which China has relied for its export growth. Since 2010, two doors have been closing on China: the door for goods heading for China (vital for China's modernization) and the door for goods coming from China (vital for paying for China's imports). This is likely to end China's hitherto uninterrupted 'import-export combo' loop. The 2025 tariff war between United States and China is only the most recent manifestation of this new state of affairs in the global economy.

Given the headwinds China now faces, and given that many low-income countries have now modelled themselves on China and begun to supply the world market with low-priced goods, China would need an economic miracle to bounce back to its pre-2010 growth trajectory.

This book is about development, reform and sustainability in child protection systems. Tackling deep and enduring challenges that confront child protection and child welfare systems across international jurisdictions, the book addresses two critical questions - why is it so difficult to develop and sustain responsive systems of child protection? And what can be done to support effective system reform?

Informed by universally applied concepts of child protection typology-building within a systemic framework, this book brings together a team of international authors who take a fresh look at the concept and realities of change in country-specific child protection systems. Exploring these experiences, the editors identify three broad approaches to change: Development-Focused Change; Reform-Focused Change; and System-Improvement Change. Based on this analysis, they argue that stable and enduring solutions that are culturally responsive to the needs of diverse populations will not be found through repetitive processes of critique, review and reform. What is needed, whether the system is newly or well established, is an in-depth understanding of systemic change itself and the practical ways in which this influences a system trajectory in both positive and negative ways. This book addresses this need.

The challenging environment within which child protection exists and the significant costs of developing, reforming and maintaining child protection systems, creates a critical imperative in contemporary systems of child protection for an understanding of effective reform, and a need to learn from other systems about how effective reform can be sustained. Given the ubiquitous nature of welfare reform, there has never been a more important time to apply a systemic lens. Mapping trajectories of change, the authors of the 15 country-specific-chapters of this contributed volume provide a uniquely different approach to the task of developing, reforming and maintaining child protection systems.

Trajectories of Change in Child Protection Systems is relevant reading for child welfare policy and practice workers, managers and activists, as well as scholarly audiences and students interested in child and family welfare and children's rights.

Two Vatos Talk Pop Cultura brings a leading Latinx media studies scholar, Frederick Luis Aldama, together with an award-winning television writer and producer, Peter Murrieta, to examine how Latinx representation has evolved-and stagnated-across seven decades of American TV, film, and pop culture.

Born from the popular podcast Mighty Peter and Professor Latinx but written in a collective voice with breakout discussions shaped by specific experiences and insights-Aldama's theoretical acumen and Murrieta's industry war stories-the book exemplifies what the authors call the collective shaping of "borderlands epistemology." It analyzes shows while accounting for the behind-the-scenes industry battles such as those fought in writers' rooms.

Two Vatos Talk Pop Cultura aims to be an essential book for students and lay readers alike, shedding light on who shapes representation-and why it matters.

Sustainability is not a compliance obligation, a cost, or a moral afterthought. Properly managed, it is a powerful lever for value creation.

As the cracks in the neoliberal growth model deepen, and under the accelerating collapse of natural ecosystems, a new paradigm is emerging.

The Seven Principles Playbook for Sustainable Companies provides a framework for embedding sustainability into the structural DNA of businesses. Drawing on years of hands-on work with impact investors, entrepreneurs, auditors, legislators, private equity firms, and multinational executives, it distils what truly makes a company sustainable, not just on paper, but in practice.

Through real-world case studies, the book helps executives decipher sustainability through three essential lenses: ESG risk and compliance for investors, CSR and societal engagement for stakeholders, and, ultimately, long-term value creation for all. It discusses leading edge technologies and introduces practical tools and frameworks for leaders ready to move beyond reporting and into regeneration

This is not another inspirational business book-it's a guidebook for those who understand that the future of business depends on its ability to both thrive within planetary boundaries and also meet rising societal expectations. With clarity, rigor, and vision it equips leaders with all they need to transform sustainability from a side project into a core guiding strategy for long-lasting value creation.

Examining entrepreneurship within Nigeria's military ecosystem, this volume shows how this can be leveraged for economic growth.

Bringing together diverse perspectives, this book offers a comprehensive examination of the connections between entrepreneurship, the military as an institution, military family members and military-affiliated enterprises in Africa. Analysing case studies within the commercial enterprises of the three arms of the Nigerian military: the army, navy and air force, the contributors discuss how religion influences military entrepreneurial pursuits and explore the recent integration of artificial intelligence in Nigeria's defense networks.

By observing the connections between the military ecosystem and the business enterprises of the military, Ojo and the contributors highlight the multiplex of fields that are crucial for understanding the nuances of the military entrepreneurship ecosystem, including the application of military resources in commercial ventures.
