Adolescents in Humanitarian Crisis
Adolescents in Humanitarian Crisis investigates the experiences of adolescents displaced by humanitarian crisis. The world is currently seeing unprecedented levels of mass displacement, and almost half of the world’s 70 million displaced people are children and adolescents under the age of 18. Displacement for adolescents comes with huge disruption to their education and employment prospects, as well as increased risks of poor psychosocial outcomes and sexual and gender-based violence for girls. Considering these intersectional vulnerabilities throughout, this book explores the experiences of adolescents from refugee, internally displaced persons and stateless communities in Bangladesh, Et...
Walking in Their Footsteps
In 1993, Malcom Jones found a Roman coin dated 33-44 AD. In 2007, he witnessed his first supernatural event. A Roman surgeon named Cateus, who happened to be the last owner of the coin, visited Malcom with unfinished business and a story to tell. Thus began Malcolm's adventure into the unknown, where he encountered more spirits, each with their own unwritten stories and legends to tell. Malcolm's task was to help reunite these earthbound spirits so they could pass peacefully to the other side. Walking in their Footsteps is a true story that portrays a fascinating insight into the paranormal and spirit world. It documents Malcolm's journey that starts on his own doorstep but takes him to Herculaneum, Rome, Anglesey and back again.

World Wide Waste: How Digital Is Killing Our Planetâand What We Can Do About It
Speaking out when it's unpopular. Back in the day, Henry David Thoreau raged at the robber barons-the big shots of their age, despoiling the environment in the name of progress. Deep in the throes of the seemingly unstoppable growth of tech, a modern-day Thoreau has emerged in the guise of Gerry McGovern-decrying the massive, hidden negative impacts of tech on the environment. McGovern has thoroughly documented in World Wide Waste how tech damages the Earth-and what we should be doing about it. It is not just the acres of discarded computer hardware conveniently dumped in Third World countries. Every time an email is downloaded it contributes to global warming. Every tweet, search, check of a webpage creates pollution. Digital is physical. Those data centers are not in the Cloud. They're on land in massive physical buildings packed full of computers hungry for energy. It seems invisible. It seems cheap and free. It's not. Digital costs the Earth.
