André Goodfriend was Deputy Chief of Mission from 2013 to 2015 at the US Embassy in Budapest. In the absence of an ambassador, most of the time he was Chargé d'Affaires. Goodfriend represented his country, and for that matter, liberal democracy, in the early period of the increasingly autocratic Orbán regime. This tenure was distinguished by an unusually high public visibility and broad-based popularity. This book contains the distilled essence of conversations recorded in the fall of 2015 and in the years after his departure. Aside from Goodfriend's reflections on his personal history, the main focus of the deliberations is on open government: its characteristics, preconditions, benefits, and its relation to modern diplomacy. The mindset of a democracy-rooted diplomat with a working experience in an increasingly autocratic regime lends a particular perspective to the topics discussed. These topics include the fight against corruption, the protection of civil society, crisis prevention, education, economy, international relations, applied humanities, and the use of the social and traditional media to achieve policy goals. This book presents modern, "people-friendly" diplomacy in an era in which public officials are increasingly expected to be transparent and engaged

"Can I Recycle This? skips over preaching and platitudes common to books on environmentalism and instead gets right to the real information that kids need. It takes readers through every step of the recycling process, from the moment that they throw an item in the bin to its journey through the recycling machinery and on its way to its new life. It gives kids the answers and resources they need to be far better informed than their parents, many of whom were raised on the un-nuanced and often inaccurate "recycling solves everything" mantra. It shows how sorting concepts that kids already know and practice can be applied to waste. And it empowers even early elementary school children to make smarter choices about consumption and disposal, using ideas and examples that they can understand. Adapted from the adult nonfiction book of the same title, Can I Recycle This? is a both fun and educational book to teach the littlest readers the hows and whys of recycling, and to introduce them to the responsibility that we all have to protect the environment"--

"Racial strife, increased social and economic discrimination, amplified political friction, and growing uncertainty around the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change have laid bare many inequalities within the city of Boston. How will these disruptions and inequities influence the city's future, especially as Boston celebrates its quadricentennial in 2030? This collection of original essays addresses the many challenges Boston contends with in the twenty-first century and considers ways to improve the city for everyone. Presenting a range of perspectives written by area experts-academics, reflective practitioners, and policymakers-these essays tackle issues of resiliency, mobility, affordable housing, health outcomes, social equity, economic equality, zoning, regionalism, and more. Reflecting the diversity of the city and the challenges and opportunities Boston currently faces, Idea City will help readers think differently about their own areas of expertise and help them draw conclusions from urban regeneration work in other fields. In addition to the volume editor, contributors include Dan Adams, Marie Law Adams, Alice Brown, Michelle Danila, Kate Gilbert, Rebecca Herst, Matthew J. Kiefer, Theodore C. Landsmark, Anne-Marie Lubenau, Rosalyn Negrón, Antonio Raciti, Tamara Roy, and Andres Sevtsuk"--

This vivid memoir captures how race, class, and privilege shaped a white boy's coming of age in 1970s New York-now with a new epilogue. "I am not your typical middle-class white male," begins Dalton Conley's Honky, an intensely engaging memoir of growing up amidst predominantly African American and Latino housing projects on New York's Lower East Side. In narrating these sharply observed memories-from his little sister's burning desire for cornrows to the shooting of a close childhood friend, Conley shows how race and class inextricably shaped the lives of himself, his schoolmates, and his neighbors. In a self-reflective epilogue, Conley, now a well-established senior sociologist, provides an update on what his informants' respective trajectories tell us about race and class in the city. He further reflects on how urban areas have (and haven't) changed over the last decades, including the stubborn resilience of poverty in New York. At once a gripping coming-of-age story and a brilliant case study illuminating broader inequalities in American society, Honky brings us to a deeper understanding of the cultural capital of whiteness, the social construction of race, and the intricacies of upward mobility

"Around the world and across time, singers and their songs stand at the crossroads of differing politics and perspectives. Levi S. Gibbs edits a collection built around the idea of listening as a political act that produces meaning. Contributors explore a wide range of issues by examining artists like Romani icon Esma Redžepova, Indian legend Lata Mangeshkar, and pop superstar Teresa Teng. Topics include gendered performances and the negotiation of race and class identities; the class-related contradictions exposed by the divide between highbrow and pop culture; links between narratives of overcoming struggle and the distinction between privileged and marginalized identities; singers' ability to adapt to shifting notions of history, borders, gender, and memory in order to connect with listeners; how the meanings we read into a singer's life and art build on one another; and technology's ability to challenge our ideas about what constitutes music. Cutting-edge and original, Social Voices reveals how singers and their songs equip us to process social change and divergent opinions"--

"Climatic and Environmental Threats to Cultural Heritage examines the challenges that environmental change, both sudden and long-term, poses to the preservation of cultural material. This edited collection acknowledges the diversity of cultural heritage across collecting institutions, heritage sites and communities by highlighting how, in Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, the quest to preserve such precious knowledge relies on records and narratives being available to inform decisions now and into the future. Bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders who have an interest in - and responsibility for - the care of cultural heritage material and places of cultural heritage value, this book explores thinking on and actions in relation to issues of climate change and environmental risk. Based on the understanding that this global challenge requires local, national and international co-operation, it also considers how local knowledge can have international applications. Climatic and Environmental Threats to Cultural Heritage will be of interest to those engaged in the study of heritage, conservation, archaeology, archives, anthropology, climate change and the environment. It will be also useful to practitioners and others attempting to understand the effect of environmental change on cultural heritage around the globe"--
