DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith happiness fleeing from those who once had it and becoming an elusive dream for many, it is important to provide an answer to the question, How do I find happiness? Even though happiness is as abstract as the air we breathe, both provide evidence that they exist. The proof of the lack of air is death and the proof of the lack of happiness is unhappiness, misery and discontentment, lack of joy and gratefulness, and being disgruntled and dissatisfied. Happiness is obtainable when we are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. In finding happiness, we must remember that walking through this life is not all about us. Its about who we are through the creator, finding our purpose and destiny so we can live happy, fulfilled lives, and live life in according to the plan that was designed for us, individually. It is important to find happiness not only so you can live a better life, but also because the mental status of parents and role models affect the mental stability of the children. Unhappy situations happen every day, and anyone can recall a situation of unpleasantnessdeath, divorce, loss of a job, demotion, etc. Even so, the question is not whether we have been unhappy, but rather whether our level of happiness over time is strong enough to bring us back to the momentum on the continuum of happiness. If you are uncertain about your happiness, A Quick Fix: Seven Steps to Happiness offers a guide to help you find your happiness!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTemporary architecture is flourishing in our urban public spaces. Branded ‘pop-ups’ and follies to provide a moment of light entertainment they are in fact borne of a long history of more holistic architecture that is subtly suggesting how we could live, work and play more harmoniously together. Featuring revealing interviews with 13 young, emerging and socially-minded practices from New York and Santiago to London, Berlin and Zurich it also analyses this phenomenon in critical essays by well-respected practitioners and thinkers. Providing a highly personal insight into the architects’ experience, the design process, the challenges they encountered and how it affected their practice it sheds light on the growth of multidisciplinary collectives, community engagement and more participatory ways of designing, making and building. Including highly illustrated and imaginative projects ranging from a floating cinema and tiny travelling theatre, through ad-hoc structures made of found objects and discarded materials, and blow-up plastic bubbles, to a community lido and market restaurant this will open your eyes as to what is possible in architecture.

Temporary Camps, Enduring Segregation

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book interrogates the persistence of Roma and migrant segregation in camps in order to understand how the creation of temporary enclosures can lead to enduring marginalisation. Persistent temporariness has been widely acknowledged as a common aspect of these camps, yet it remains largely under-theorised. Gaja Maestri unpacks the notion of camp persistence to delineate its different regimes and to investigate contributing factors. In order to do so, she develops a comparison between Italy and France and offers a new theorisation of the camp as a site of contentious politics, where the interaction between governmental and non-governmental actors produces different temporal arrangements and forms of segregation. Temporary Camps, Enduring Segregation will be of interest to scholars of political sociology, European comparative politics, and urban geography, specifically to those in the field of camp studies, racial segregation, Romani studies, and urban social movements.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTemporariness has become an increasingly salient feature in international migration that presents itself as fragmented, non-linear, including different intermediate stops and multiple returns and new departures. This book proposes a new analytical framework that brings together the role of policies defining migrants as temporary and the role of migrant’s own agency in perceiving their migration project as temporary or permanent. The proposed analytical framework is conceived taking into account both low-skill and high-skilled, legal and irregular migratory flows, and also different visa and citizenship regimes. The aim of this book is to highlight the interplay between the lived reality and the policy and legal concepts on temporary migration and point out to the tensions and contradictions inherent in the latter. Contributions to this book cover different country cases including Canada, Australia, Nepal, Taiwan and Germany, Italy, Russia, and several former Soviet Republics as well as a variety of sectors ranging from opera singers to construction and domestic workers. This book will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of sociology, politics, law, migration studies, and ethnic and racial studies. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
