DOWNLOAD EBOOKA desire to change behavior--getting people to eat better, approach child discipline differently, or even just take the bus--is at the root of a lot of social and social welfare programs. But the question of how we can bring about effective, lasting changes in behavior is a complicated one, drawing together a range of academic disciplines and fields of social research. This book explores the political and historical landscape of behavior change, covering political ideology, trends in academic theory, and new innovations in practice and research. In addition, it examines priorities that have become central to thinking in the field, such as ways of evaluating success and measuring return on investment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAvailable Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. How can Archaeology help us understand our contemporary world? This ground-breaking book reflects on material, visual and digital culture from the Calais “Jungle” – the informal camp where, before its destruction in October 2016, more than 10,000 displaced people lived. LANDE: The Calais 'Jungle' and Beyond reassesses how we understand ‘crisis’, activism, and the infrastructure of national borders in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, foregrounding the politics of environments, time, and the ongoing legacies of empire. Introducing a major collaborative exhibit at Oxford’s Pitt Rivers Museum, the book argues that an anthropological focus on duration, impermanence and traces of the most recent past can recentre the ongoing human experiences of displacement in Europe today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExamining the changing pluralities of contemporary abortion debate in Britain, this innovative and important book shows why it is necessary to move beyond an understanding of abortion politics as characterised in binary terms by ‘pro-choice’ versus ‘pro-life’. Amery traces the evolution of political and parliamentary discourses from the passage of the Abortion Act in the 1960s to the present day, and argues that the current provision of abortion in Britain rests on assumptions about medical authority over women’s reproductive decision-making which are unsustainable. She explores new arguments around sex-selective abortion, disability rights, pre-abortion counselling and the push for decriminalization, and radically reconceptualizes the debate to account for these new battlegrounds in abortion politics.
