Hardback. Condition: Very Good. How an acceptance of our limitations can lead to a more fulfilling life and a more harmonious societyWe live in a world oriented toward greatness, one in which we feel compelled to be among the wealthiest, most powerful, and most famous. This book explains why no one truly benefits from this competitive social order, and reveals how another way of life is possible?a good-enough life for all.Avram Alpert shows how our obsession with greatness results in stress and anxiety, damage to our relationships, widespread political and economic inequality, and destruction of the natural world. He describes how to move beyond greatness to create a society in which everyone flourishes. By competing less with each other, each of us can find renewed meaning and purpose, have our material and emotional needs met, and begin to lead more leisurely lives. Alpert makes no false utopian promises, however. Life can never be more than good enough because there will always be accidents and tragedies beyond our control, which is why we must stop dividing the world into winners and losers and ensure that there is a fair share of decency and sufficiency to go around.Visionary and provocative, The Good-Enough Life demonstrates how we can work together to cultivate a good-enough life for all instead of tearing ourselves apart in a race to the top of the social pyramid.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The memoir, Lost and Found, tells the story of a girl who flees with her family from post-World War I Romania, and then as a nine-year old is whisked away in the dead of night from her childhood home in Haifa, Israel. Leaving behind her beloved grandmother, the family immigrates to Montreal, Canada, where she feels utterly lost. The new culture, with different languages, customs, and multiple dominant religions is disorienting and Ann struggles to adapt, fit in, and find herself. Her ability to do so is compromised by her own emotional trauma and that of her parents, as well as the restrictions placed on her by their minority religion and its placement in society. When she meets the love of her life at a young age, she learns that his family's history of displacement and survival during the Holocaust parallels her own. As she matures, has children, and her ambitions grow, the author finds an inner strength. Even a shocking family secret learned late in life that might have shattered another person's world view, only strengthens her resolve to remain true to herself.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. The post-Soviet Russian state is haunted by the spectre of shrinking population. Despite well-publicized pronatalist campaigns, declining birth rates and raising mortality rates cast doubt on the state's ability to properly care for its people. In this volume, anthropologist Inna Leykin follows the circulation of demographic knowledge in contemporary Russia to show how its production and public consumption have shaped social imaginaries about normative families, national sovereignty, and the self. She demonstrates that the language of demography has been influential in defining what kind of behavior and social aspirations are considered worthy of state support and protection. Caring Like a State: The Politics of Russia's Demographic Crisis analyzes the world of professional demographers and non-state actors, as well as the subjective experiences of ordinary Russian citizens to explore how their reciprocal relations have shaped the dominant understanding of the problem of population and its possible solutions. …
