This is a book about what we consider normal. It details how the very concept of normality emerged in the modern era, and how it has changed over the centuries. By the mid-twentieth century, the expansion of norms across various areas of human endeavour generated a governing normative order in Western societies. Normality was defined as conformity with a narrow model of conventional human behaviour. However, this model has since been displaced by an anti-conformism, in which normality is defined as absolute self-fulfilment, defying older restrictions on our behaviour. Paradoxically, absolute individualism and rebellion against conformity have become compulsory. This book explores in detail how this new normative order plays out today in the arenas of politics, health, and sex and sexuality. In all these areas, the uncompromising perfectionism of our norms of self-expression leads to increasingly deep-seated and ubiquitous anger, anxiety, and dissatisfaction.

This revised second edition of Social Work: The Basics is an insightful introduction to the often misrepresented world of social work. This accessible book presents a broad view of contemporary social work, exploring its roots and its possible future.

Mientras están en el espacio, los astronautas están ocupados con su misión cuando el desastre los sorprende...y sólo el miembro más pequeño de la tripulación puede salvar el día. Con ilustraciones vivaces del galardonado artista C. F. Payne, Ratonauta es una encantadora historia sobre la perseverancia, el coraje ¡y la importancia de los pequeños!

"'Hard to hear new music. / Hard to let that meandering dentist / work,' Tim Kelly tells us in one of [these] strikingly original poems. And though the book is firmly rooted in the body and its often painful reawakenings (Kelly is a physical therapist), it is, finally, the mind bending the poems that engages and holds the reader with the subtle and accurate connections it makes. If your mental muscle tone is growing sluggish, Articulation is guaranteed to flex the imagination and restore full mobility." -Madeline DeFrees Timothy Kelly was born in Cleveland and educated at Oberlin, Boston University, and the University of Washington.
