Ira Silver Lining
IRA SILVER is a creature of routine. He swipes his morning coffee from nearby hotel lobbies, survives on bartering rather than spending cash, crashes funerals and conventions for free food, and lives on St. Charles Avenue alone in the home of his dying mother. But Ira's life begins to change when a mysterious stripper named Charlie follows him home and never leaves. As the final parades of Mardi Gras fade down the streets of the Crescent City, they leave chaos strewn about the historic Garden District. But an even wilder ride is about to descend upon Ira's otherwise monotonous existence. A Spring Break visit from his three young sons by his failed marriage triggers a hilariously hectic procession of disorder and discomfort in Ira's life, culminating in criminal charges and a beatdown from a pissed-off pimp. When Charlie turns up missing, Ira enlists the help of two unlikely allies-his oldest son Howie and his lesbian divorce lawyer Shelly-in an absurd pursuit of justice. With Ira stumbling from one dubious mishap to the next, they're running out of time to find the one person that can clear Ira's name.
Giving Hope
We hear a lot these days about the growing rich-poor gap and how it is undermining the American dream. A telling indicator is that hard work is no longer the sure-bet ticket to getting ahead it once was. Millions who struggle to make ends meet have little realistic chance of achieving a better life. And for the rest of us, it's all too easy to believe there's little we can do to mitigate this hardship. We often sigh at the magnitude of inequality, seeing personal stories of misfortune as tiny drops within a huge ocean of need. Giving Hope is an antidote to this pessimism. It outlines ways that your giving can offer second chances to Americans who have dim prospects for moving their lives for...
Seeing Social Problems
Seeing Social Problems: The Hidden Stories Behind Contemporary Issues shows students how to think about social problems in a new way, by carefully analyzing headline-making issues they are already familiar with and illustrating the connection between individual problems and larger social forces. Each chapter engages students in thinking about the world sociologically by focusing on a specific case study that represents a more general social problem. The chapters always start with the knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and personal experiences that students bring to the case—what author Ira Silver refers to as the conventional wisdom—and effectively demonstrate to them the “first wisdom” of sociology: “things are not what they seem.” In each instance, Silver shows how sociologists ask questions, gather empirical data, use multiple perspectives, and consider larger social forces to discover the “hidden stories” behind individual behavior.
Unequal Partnerships
Through an examination of the Chicago Initiative, Silver analyzes how elite philanthropists exercise social control over community organizations that do work in poor neighborhoods.
