Shared Lives
Written by three authors who combine a wealth of expertise as researchers, clinicians and practitioners, this challenging book presents a renewed vision for the support of people with intellectual disabilities.
Male and Female
This work is an important contribution to the sociological and political minefield of gender studies. Beginning with the threads of the male and female elements in cosmic evolution, the author studies the mythological and Judaic-Christian traditions, culminating in the present situation of the sexes within contemporary Western culture. Baruch Urieli develops the theme of "empathy" as a guiding star for male-female relationships based on inter-recognition, inter-acceptance and inter-dependence. Through the power of empathy it will become possible for individuals and couples increasingly to perceive their true destiny and bring a new order into this area of human and world evolution.
The future of DNA
The rapid progress in biological and biomedical sciences in the last twenty years has brought with it an extensive development of the methods of molecular genetics. This has had impacts on society in many fields. Practical applications in medicine, pharmacology, agriculture, food design and biotechnology are firmly established and will grow enormously in the years to come. The scientific views of DNA and genes which underpin these applications are challenging our fundamental concepts of life, nature, society and humanity. It is beyond doubt that these developments need to be evaluated and reflected upon, both from a scientific and philosophical point of view, as well as from a cultural and s...
Camphill and the Future
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. The Camphill movement, one of the world’s largest and most enduring networks of intentional communities, deserves both recognition and study. Founded in Scotland at the beginning of the Second World War, Camphill communities still thrive today, encompassing thousands of people living in more than one hundred twenty schools, villages, and urban neighborhoods on four continents. Camphillers of all abilities share daily work, family life, and festive celebrations with one another and their neighbors. Unlike movements that reject mainstream society, Camphill expressly seeks to be “a seed of social renewal” by evolving along with society to promote the full inclusion and empowerment of persons with disabilities, who comprise nearly half of their residents. In this multifaceted exploration of Camphill, Dan McKanan traces the complexities of the movement’s history, envisions its possible future, and invites ongoing dialogue between the fields of disability studies and communal studies.

From Blitz to Blair
In the past ten years or so there has been a remarkable growth of interest in Britain's recent past. Right-wing popularisers, such as Correlli Barnett, John Charmley and Andrew Roberts, inspired by Thatcherite politics, have produced a stream of polemics. Meanwhile liberal and academic historians have been left in the stalls. This book aims to rectify the absence of a left-wing version of history since the Second World War. Structured chronologically, it follows the broad phases of government since 1939 - the Attlee years, the Churchill government, the Eden and Macmillan governments, the Wilson years, the 1970s and the Thatcher Years. Leading historians in their particular fields take issue with recent right-wing accounts of the period and propose a coherent alternative of Britain's history since the Second World War.
