In Zambia, due to the rise of tuberculosis and the closely connected HIV epidemic, a large number of children have experienced the illness or death of at least one parent.

ISBN: 9780252040986 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Death Gap: How Inequality Kills
ISBN: 9780226428154 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We hear plenty about the widening income gap between the rich and the poor in America and about the expanding distance separating the haves and the have-nots. But when detailing the many things that the poor have not, we often overlook the most critical--their health. The poor die sooner. Blacks die sooner. And poor urban blacks die sooner than almost all other Americans. In nearly four decades as a doctor at hospitals serving some of the poorest communities in Chicago, David Ansell has witnessed firsthand the lives behind these devastating statistics. In The Death Gap, he gives a grim...

The Intimate Lives of Disabled People
ISBN: 9781409460909 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite over thirty years of disability activism and scholarship, disabled people's sexual identities remain the sum of the paradoxical social categories of 'asexual innocents', or 'perverts'. This timely book explores their experiences of sexual and intimate life within the context of both these constructed sexualities and the wider contemporary ableist cultures which both produce and promulgate them. Foregrounding disabled people's own sexual stories collected through a participatory and multi-method empirical study, this book provides a richly detailed account of the complex and variegated...
