Bloodied Brains & Bureaucrats
A car accident leaves Leo Brodie disabled and dependent on ineffectual disability services and government bureaucrats. The past is forgotten and the present chaotic. Service providers complain that Leo does not accept his new status, although his anger achieves action. Other people with disability look to him for leadership. He is articulate and charismatic despite his brain injury. But Leo is not all he seems.Clients of disability services strive to obtain control of their lives in contemporary Australia. Some workers are supportive while others are out for what they can get. Occasionally clients and workers forget their roles and come together as people first. Meanwhile their lives are turned upside down through changes wrought by public servants and politicians jostling for power. Projects get cancelled, services get reorganised and scapegoats are found for failures.
Case Examples in Child Welfare and Family Services for Social Workers
This book provides social work students at both undergraduate and graduate level with compelling child welfare case examples, intervention plans, and tips for building working alliances with clients. The 50 such case examples, categorized by maltreatment type(s) and by underlying problem(s), each present an intertwined network of issues characterizing the members of a family and their interactions—as in actual field situations. Thus, social work students learning therapy or case management will find a wide variety of scenarios from child welfare services and children/family outpatient care and will learn about the range of challenges clients can face. Using the instruction/practice sheets that illustrate sound approaches for joining with clients to tailor their own interventions, students are provided with the tools to work out the application of assessment and intervention strategies with regard to the particular circumstances of each example. Throughout, the emphasis is on growing the working alliance between social worker and client, reflecting the strength perspective emphasized in social work practice.
Chinese Politics Illustrated: The Cultural, Social, And Historical Context
This unique book offers the readers a ring-side seat to watch the drama of Chinese politics as it is experienced by the players themselves. It provides an opportunity for non-Chinese readers to get a feel of the intricacies of contemporary Chinese politics as they are played out in real-life situations. The vivid stories contained in this book offers the students of Chinese politics from the English-speaking world a rare glimpse that is unfiltered by the cultural and ideological assumptions as well as by the conceptual framework developed in Western political science, and how these create systematic biases and blind spots in understanding politics in a very different cultural and historical ...

"In an era of "post-cyberpunk" science fiction, Maughan is firmly cyberpunk - or maybe "cyberpunk++," a genre that captures all the grit and glory of technology with a higher degree of plausibility and respect for real computers and networks than the genre had in its glory days...Maughan has a keen eye for the fictional possibilities of technology, a good hand with the what if/ten seconds in the future mode of storytelling, and he's quite adept at filling his work with hyper-cool eyeball kicks. These stories are fun and thought-provoking, a great combination." - Cory Doctorow, author of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and Little Brother "In our hothouse present, where technology is little ...

In Too Deep
All you wanted was to curb your hunger, to indulge in some well seasoned meat wrapped in an expertly steamed envelope. Was that what you got? No. You had a lot going for you. Now in your late twenties you were a decorated author, a successful investor and a mother to a cat that might be a demon in disguise. Jury was still out on that one. You worked hard for this lifestyle, fighting omega stigmas and glass ceilings. You were enjoying it to the fullest, or as full as your introverted self desired. Yet, all in a moment, your life took a deep dive… Off a cliff, into a ravine, and down to the bottom of a lake. Past trauma resurfaces, trying to break down the fragile walls you'd constructed. Wi...
