"Our approach in this new edition remains what it was in the first edition: to provide students and instructors with a text that delivers complete coverage of economic topics using many real-world examples. Our goal from the beginning has been to teach economics in a "widget-free" way by using real-world business and policy examples. It's an understatement to say that much has happened in the economy since our last edition appeared. The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the economy as nothing else has in the lifetimes of today's students (and instructors). Congress, the Trump and Biden administrations, and the Federal Reserve responded to the severe recession of 2020 with fiscal and monetary policies that were also unprecedented. Partially as a result, the U.S. economy experienced the highest rates of inflation in 40 years. We have incorporated these developments in the new real-world examples and policy discussions in this edition and also in the extensive digital resources."

"This contributed reader will introduce students to the variety and complexity of Latinxs' experiences in the U.S., and prepare them for further study in this interdisciplinary field. The opening essay, written by the editors, will offer a broad overview of the approximately 59 million people in the U.S. who identify as Hispanic. The rest of the book will consist of approximately 20 contributed readings from Latina(o)/Chicana(o) scholars on a range of subjects including immigration, citizenship, and deportation; racial identities; political participation and power; educational and economic achievement; family; religion; media and popular culture. Although the essays will be written for lower-division undergraduates, they will reflect many of the leading theoretical and methodological approaches in the field. The essays will be unified by an intersectional approach, demonstrating how experiences and life chances of Latinxs are also shaped by gender, social class, sexuality, age, and citizenship status"--

"In Nation and Empire as Two Trends of Political Organization in the Iron Age Levant MEI Hualong offers an analysis of national and imperial ideologies--two political principles that influenced the establishment, consolidation and expansion of trans-local/trans-tribal polities in the Iron Age Levant. By examining key terminologies, historical accounts and literary sources, MEI argues that the elites of ancient nations may attempt to reshape their political and cultural identity in imperial terms (vice versa, but to a lesser extent). The conceptual transformation from the one to the other is closely related to the political entity's consciousness and understanding of limits and boundaries: political and cultural, real and imagined"--

Kultur- und traumasensibles Eltern-Coaching, um insbesondere kleinere Kinder nach Fluchterfahrung zu unterstützen und erfolgreich zu integrieren. In der Altersgruppe von 0 bis 14 Jahren weisen fast die Hälfte der Kinder mit Fluchterfahrung eine psychische Erkrankung auf, davon 30% eine Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTBS). Im Rahmen eines Kooperationsprojektes wurde daraufhin eine Interdisziplinäre Sprechstunde für Kinder mit Fluchthintergrund (ISKF) von Kinder-ärzt*innen, Psycho-logischen bzw. Kinder- und Jugendpsychothera-peut*innen und Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater*innen entwickelt. Aus diesem erfolgreichen Konzept heraus haben die Autor*innen ein Manual mit umfangreichem Hintergrundwissen, Checklisten und psychoedukativen Unterlagen für Eltern(-gruppen) von 3- bis 6-jährigen Kindern entwickelt. Unter Berücksichtigung der kulturellen Verschiedenheiten, Prioritäten und Besonderheiten in Bezug auf Kindererziehung ermöglichen die Gesprächsvorlagen in einfacher Sprache und Bebilderung einen informativen, aber niedrigschwelligen Zugang, mit klaren Aussagen zu kindlichen Gesundheitsaspekten. Fallbeispiele lenken zum einen den Blick auf mögliche Fallstricke, die durch mangelndes Wissen oder Desinformation bei ersten Begegnungen, Behandlung und Integration entstehen können. Zum anderen verweisen die Autor*innen auf die Potentiale und Kompetenzen von Familien mit Fluchterfahrungen, um diese für gemeinsames (Er-)Leben und Integration zu nutzen. Ziel ist es vor allem, kindliche Entwicklungsverzögerungen rechtzeitig zu erkennen und eine Inklusion und Teilhabe frühestmöglich zu erreichen, um Kinder mit Flucht- und Migrationserfahrung erfolgreich in die Gesellschaft zu integrieren.

"Diversity and anti-racism work is too often reduced to training, therapy, education, and policy, or what the author calls "Feel-Good" approaches that focus on emotions and morality and prevent us from taking collective action for racial justice, decolonization, and equity in our organizations and communities"--
