In 1998 alone, people lost 50 billion dollars in legal betting and it is estimated that illegal wagering is twice that amount. A recent government report, based on the broadest population survey, concludes that the lifetime and pathological gamblers in the U.S. range between 4 and 10 million persons and is growing. If we include the families affected by problem gambling then the potential impact is indeed prodigious. Virtually no community in the U.S. and Canada is left untouched by entertainment or problem gambling. Treating problem gambling has evolved from a small group of practitioners in the 1980's working in specialty impatient units into an international enterprise that affects the caseload of many mental health professionals. Owing to its quiet origins, problem gambling treatment strategies are not well known throughout the clinical community. Consequently the average clinician is him\/herself \"learning as they go.\" This approach does not benefit either client or therapist. As the book's first chapter makes clear, problem gambling differs significantly from substance abuse, its nearest clinical relative. Not attending to these differences leads to poor results and clinical failure. This book is the one essential tool needed by clinicians treating or likely to treat problem gambling.

She shows how, over the last century, processes of state formation, construction of ethnic identity, and regional security concerns have contributed to very different outcomes for Akha and their forests in China and Thailand, with Chinese Akha functioning as citizens and grain producers, and Akha in Thailand being viewed as \"non-Thai\" forest destroyers.\u003cbr\u003eThe modern nation-state grapples with local power hierarchies on the periphery of the nation, with varied outcomes. Citizenship in China helps Akha better protect a fluid set of livelihood practices that confer benefits on them and their landscape. Denied such citizenship in Thailand, Akha are helpless when forests and other resources are ruthlessly claimed by the state. Drawing on current anthropological debates on the state in Southeast Asia and more generally on debates on property theory, states and minorities, and political ecology, Sturgeon shows how people live in a continuous state of negotiated boundaries - political, social, and ecological.\u003cbr\u003eThis pioneering comparison of resource access and land use among historically related peoples in two nation-states will be welcomed by scholars of political ecology, environmental anthropology, ethnicity, and politics of state formation in East and Southeast Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScience \u0026amp; Math\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNature \u0026amp; Ecology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eWater Supply \u0026amp; Land Use\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261755973822,"sku":"0295987634-4","price":13.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51VGlfhJNDL._SL500.jpg?v=1754081674"},{"product_id":"0374171734-on_the_move_the_overheating_earth_and_the_uprooting_of_america","title":"On the Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eAn Overview Of How Climate Change Will Reshape The United States, With An Emphasis On Climate Migration-- Provided By Publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScience \u0026amp; Math\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarth Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimatology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eClimate Changes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":45261756530878,"sku":"0374171734-5","price":18.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71Zu8pAMPiL.jpg?v=1754081680"},{"product_id":"1476735301-reimagining_india_unlocking_the_potential_of_asias_next_superpower","title":"Reimagining India: Unlocking the Potential of Asia's Next Superpower","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eCollection Of Essays By ...

Along the way, she meets biologists who are trying to preserve the worldâs rarest fish, which lives in a single tiny pool in the middle of the Mojave; engineers who are turning carbon emissions to stone in Iceland; Australian researchers who are trying to develop a âsuper coralâ that can survive on a hotter globe; and physicists who are contemplating shooting tiny diamonds into the stratosphere to cool the earth.\\\u003cbr\u003eOne way to look at human civilization, says Kolbert, is as a ten-thousand-year exercise in defying nature. In The Sixth Extinction, she explored the ways in which our capacity for destruction has reshaped the natural world. Now she examines how the very sorts of interventions that have imperiled our planet are increasingly seen as the only hope for its salvation.

Case studies reflect multidisciplinary perspectives and focus on a range of issues, from microfinance to informal seed systems.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe bookâs gender perspective also incorporates consideration of age or generational relations and cultural dimensions in order to embrace the complexity of existing socio-economic realities in rural farming communities. The issue of succession of farmland has become a general concern, both to farmers and to researchers focused on building resilient farming systems. Building resilience here is shown to involve strengthening householdsâ and communitiesâ overall livelihood capabilities in the face of ongoing climate change, global market volatility and political instability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineering \u0026amp; Transportation\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineering\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCivil \u0026amp; Environmental\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eEnvironmental\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45395492470974,"sku":"1138816949-3","price":169.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71P35vaWdtL.jpg?v=1757414226"},{"product_id":"0415808723-the_environment_in_american_history_nature_and_the_formation_of_the_united_states","title":"The Environment in American History: Nature and the Formation of the United States","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eFrom The Era Before European Contact To The Present Day, People Living In What Is Now The United States Have Constantly Been Interacting With Their Environment.

Aimed at an international audience, the authors adopt a life course perspective in presenting their research. Following a comprehensive overview of family violence in Japan in both historical and contemporary contexts, it then goes on to define the extent and causes of child abuse, intimate partner violence, filial violence, and elder abuse. In doing so, the book is the first of its kind to look at these different types of violence in Japanese families and simultaneously incorporate historical development of individuals and intergenerational factors. Furthermore, its reliance on the life course perspective enables readers to obtain a broader understanding of family violence in the country. Written by five Japanese family sociologists who have identified various major sociocultural characteristics that either induce or suppress family violence in Japan, it is a valuable resource not only to scholars and students of the topic, but also to those specializing in sociology, psychology, anthropology and comparative family studies around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSociology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eMarriage \u0026amp; Family\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45447440728254,"sku":"9811000557-1","price":63.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61zPq4wSoAL_41868728-112a-4f88-a7c8-d6cd1ffcadbd.jpg?v=1759172591"},{"product_id":"1479862797-the_industrial_diet_the_degradation_of_food_and_the_struggle_for_healthy_eating","title":"The Industrial Diet: The Degradation of Food and the Struggle for Healthy Eating","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eBetween Producers And Eaters: A Dietary Regime Approach -- Discordant Diets, Unhealthy People -- From Neolithic To Capitalist Diets -- From Patent Flour To Wheaties -- Pushing Product For Profit Via Branding: The Early Twentieth Century -- Speeding Up The Making Of Food -- The Simplification Of Whole Food -- Adulteration And The Rise Of Pseudo Foods -- The Spatial Colonization Of The Industrial Diet: The Supermarket -- Meals Away From Home: The Health Burden Of Restaurant Chains -- The Industrial Diet Goes Global -- Transformative Food Movements And The Struggle For Healthy Eating -- Case Studies Of A Transformative Food Movement -- Toward A Sustainable And Ethical Health-based Dietary Regime.

Even those living beyond the administrative or functional boundaries of a town or city will have their lifestyle influenced to some degree by a nearby, or even distant, city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analysis of towns and cities is a central element of all social sciences including geography, which offers a particular perspective on and insight into the urban condition. The principal goal of this third edition of the book remains that of providing instructors and students of the contemporary city with a comprehensive introduction to the expanding field of urban studies. The structure of the first two editions is maintained, with minor amendments. Each of the thirty chapters has been revised to incorporate recent developments in the field. All of the popular study aids are retained; the glossary has been expanded; and chapter references and notes updated to reflect the latest research. This third edition also provides new and expanded discussions of key themes and debates including detailed consideration of metacities, boomburgs, public space, urban sprawl, balanced communities, urban economic restructuring, poverty and financial exclusion, the right to the city, urban policy, reverse migration , and traffic and transport problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into six main parts. Part one outlines the field of urban geography and explains the importance of a global perspective. Part two explores the growth of cities from the earliest times to the present day and examines the urban geography of the major world regions. Part three considers the dynamics of urban structure and land use change in Western cities. Part four focuses on economy, society and politics in the Western city. In part five attention turns to the urban geography of the Third World, where many of the countries experiencing highest rates or urban growth are least well equipped to respond to the economic, social, political and environmental challenge. Finally part six affords a prospective on the future of cities and cities of the future. New to this edition are: further readings based on the latest research; updated data and statistics; an expanded glossary; new key concepts; additional study questions; and a listing of useful websites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book provides a comprehensive interpretation of the urban geography of the contemporary world. Written in a clear and readable style, lavishly illustrated with more than eighty photographs, 180 figures, 100 tables and over 200 boxed studies and with a plethora of study aids Urban Geography: A Global Perspective represents the ultimate resource for students of urban geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArts \u0026amp; Photography\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchitecture\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUrban \u0026amp; Land Use Planning\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eLand Use Planning\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":46692222075070,"sku":"0415462029-3","price":13.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51mPhljN84L._SL500.jpg?v=1777398670"},{"product_id":"0415279569-the_cybercities_reader_routledge_urban_reader_series","title":"The Cybercities Reader (Routledge Urban Reader Series)","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eEdited By Stephen Graham.
