Renee Hess Narrator: R. Renee Hess Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 50 minutes Release date: October 8, 2024 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: From the founder of Black Girl Hockey Club, a collection of deeply insightful and piercing essays shedding light on the history of Black excellence in hockey, the future of Black joy within the sport, and the ways we can all do better when it comes to recognizing—and upheaving—systemic and institutionalized racism. Growing up, R. Renee Hess didn’t care about hockey. In fact, she was barely aware of it. She was born and raised in Southern California, hardly a hotbed for the game, despite the state having three NHL teams. But, as Hess puts it, she is “a fan of being a fan,” and when she found herself stuck in traffic after a Pittsburgh Penguins game, the streets filled with cheers, something sparked within her. Ever since Hess made that discovery, she has been actively trying to bust the myth that “Black folks don’t like hockey.” In this collection, Hess shares her hockey origin story and how she came to recognize hockey culture’s lack of authentic engagement with Black communities, tracing her journey to becoming a true game changer. But, as an academic, Hess knows that her singular viewpoint can’t tell the full story, so she reached out to former hockey players, league executives, activists, fans, media, and to the parents and youth shaping the future of the game. We hear directly from players such as Sarah Nurse and Saroya Tinker; from trailblazers like Bernice Carnegie and Kim Davis; and from the collective of Black Girl Hockey Club scholarship awardees and their families, emphasizing the importance of community and support for marginalized players. The result is a hockey book truly unlike any other. With essays that touch on representation and harmful stereotypes, the many nuanced aspects of biracial identity, being the only person of colour in the room, and the virtues of a lively group chat, Blackness Is a Gift I Can Give Her is a love letter to Black women everywhere, as well as a scathing ode to a game that Hess loves, even if it doesn't always love her back.

What is the correct way to queue at the bar? Why should we care about asking for people’s pronouns? And why exactly do the English say sorry so much? No one makes such a fuss about manners quite as much as the UK, yet in a fast-changing world, no one can seem to agree on precisely what the ‘done thing’ is, either. William Hanson, world-leading etiquette expert is on a mission to reclaim the British crown of good manners. In Just Good Manners, he shares his definitive guidance on how to behave in every situation - as well as celebrating our country’s distinctively British way of doing things! With the perfect dose of William’s inimitable dry humour, Just Good Manners is the indispensable modern guide to British etiquette and customs – from table manners to top hats. Praise for William Hanson 'A well-researched and fascinating book that is also great fun. A must for anyone who aspires to polish up their manners.' Anne Glenconner, author of Lady in Waiting 'William Hanson is doing for etiquette what Hyacinth Bucket did for candlelight suppers. This book sparkles like the cut glass of a crystal decanter. This isn't just a set of rules on how to act posh, this is a guide to treating one another with respect. Now more than ever, who wouldn’t want to learn about that?' Tom Allen, comedian 'An etiquette genius with a stunning eye for detail - he's the only person who knows more about buffet suppers than I do.'

Title: Unsettling Choice: Race, Rights, and the Partitioning of Public Education Author: Ujju Aggarwal Narrator: Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 11 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: What do universal rights to public goods like education mean when codified as individual, private choices? Is the 'problem' of school choice actually not about better choices for all but about the competition and exclusion that choice engenders? Unsettling Choice addresses such questions through a compelling ethnography that illuminates how one path of neoliberal restructuring in the United States emerged in tandem with, and in response to, the Civil Rights movement. Unsettling Choice traces the contestations that surfaced when, in the wake of the 2007–2009 Great Recession, public schools navigated austerity by expanding choice-based programs. Ujju Aggarwal argues that this strategy mobilized mechanisms rooted in market logics to recruit families with economic capital on their side, solidifying a public sphere that increasingly resembled the private. As Unsettling Choice shows, these struggles over public schools were entrapped within neoliberal regimes that exceeded privatization and ensured exclusion even as they were couched in language of equity, diversity, care, and rights. This book tracks an architecture of expansive rights, care, and belonging built among poor and working-class parents at a Head Start center, whose critique of choice helps us understand how we might struggle for justice, and a public that remains to be won.

Title: [German] - 2020: Das Jahr, das die Welt veränderte Author: Eric Klinenberg Narrator: Sven Ofner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 33 minutes Release date: March 28, 2024 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: 2020 als globaler Wendepunkt - was das Virus mit der Welt gemacht hat Mit dem Ausbruch von Covid-19 markiert das Jahr 2020 das Ende einer Epoche. Lockdown, Social-Distancing und Isolation: Nichts war in unserem alltäglichen Leben mehr so, wie wir es kannten. Coronavirus: Ein Epochenjahr im Fokus Der US-amerikanische Soziologe Eric Klinenberg stellt die Pandemie und diese einschneidenden Veränderungen ins Zentrum seiner wissenschaftlichen Reportage und untersucht, wie sich das Ausnahme-Jahr 2020 gesamtgesellschaftlich und individuell darstellt. Mit Hilfe eines internationalen Teams sammelt Klinenberg Daten aus New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokio, Berlin, Sydney und Paris. Dabei nimmt er vor allem die Schicksale einzelner Menschen im Spiegel nationaler und globaler Ereignisse in den Blick. Am Ende wurde die Coronavirus-Pandemie zwar von anderen Krisen und Katastrophen überlagert und überholt, aber dennoch: Covid-19 bleibt die Variable, ohne die die Welt nicht mehr erklärt werden kann. Gesellschaftsanalyse und faszinierende Weltgeschichte Mit 2020 Das Jahr, das die Welt veränderte legt Eric Klinenberg eine schonungslose ethnologische und soziologische Analyse vor, die eine Frage stellt: Wer hat überlebt, wer ist gestorben, und warum?

Title: [Spanish] - Fortuito: El otro lado de la criminalizacion del aborto en Mexico Author: Luciana Wainer Narrator: Luciana Wainer, Valeria Zenil Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 14 minutes Release date: March 14, 2024 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: “Fortuito: que sucede inesperadamente y de casualidad. Parto fortuito: la noticia inesperada de un embarazo que se desconoce y del cual ningún médico pudo dar cuenta antes de que fuera demasiado tarde. […] El imprevisible y terrorífico momento de sentir que una liga ‘se rompe’ dentro de ti. Denuncia fortuita: lo inesperado de encontrarte, de un día para el otro y sin haber cometido ningún delito, siendo juzgada como homicida, bajo el mismo delito que un hombre que asesina a cuchilladas. Inesperado, casual, fortuito”. La periodista Luciana Wainer nos presenta en este libro la otra cara de la criminalización del aborto en México. Aquí documenta y reconstruye, a través de testimonios, entrevistas, expedientes y datos, las historias de cinco mujeres: Dafne, Susana, Aurelia, Malena e Imelda, encarceladas tras un aborto espontáneo, un parto fortuito, una emergencia obstétrica, y sentenciadas a condenas severas por homicidio u homicidio en razón de parentesco. Apenas cinco historias entre ciento —quizás miles— que permanecen ocultas debido a vacíos legales y artimañas jurídicas que las vuelven imposibles de rastrear en una sociedad donde la violencia impera. Fortuito es, a su modo, un grito de denuncia contra ese sistema patriarcal que insiste en vigilar y castigar los cuerpos de las mujeres.

Tudo isso inserido em uma ebulição musical e de moda onde o principal público era de adolescentes e jovens, que viam no skate uma forma de expressão. Desde o carrinho até as roupas streetwear, produziam e reproduziam um comportamento e uma identidade própria. Surgiu um estilo de vida, o skate como um lifestyle, e Curitiba reconhecida como a capital do skate brasileiro. A cultura do skate é resiliente, diversa e se reinventa. Desde 1972, quando tudo era desconhecido e novo, os pioneiros do skate paranaense criaram as referências. A nossa essência começou ali. E o skate passou de mão em mão, evoluiu de geração para geração. A criatividade e a liberdade movem nossa história do skate. É o que buscamos expressar neste livro.
