Wie verarbeiten junge Leute gegenwärtig ihre zunehmende Verunsicherung? Inwieweit bleiben sie in sozialen Netzwerken verankert? Verbindet sie tatsächlich ein kollektives »Wir-Gefühl«? Dieser interdisziplinäre Band porträtiert jugendliche Altersgruppen, die zwischen 1970 und den 1990er Jahren geboren wurden und deren Biographien vor dem Hintergrund der globalen Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise zunehmend von prekären Lebens- und Beschäftigungsphasen bestimmt wird. Zum ersten Mal werden die Lebenslagen und Selbstbilder von Jugendlichen aus einer Ost und West vergleichenden Perspektive analysiert. Wächst in Europa womöglich eine neue Protestgeneration heran?

It introduces the American Human Development Index, which provides a single measure of well-being for all Americans, disaggregated by state and congressional district, as well as by gender, race, and ethnicity. The Index rankings of the 50 states and 436 congressional districts reveal huge disparities in the health, education, and living standards of different groups. Clear, precise, objective, and authoritative, this report will become the basis for all serious discussions

Drawing on hundreds of articles and editorials in medical journals as well as other popular and professi

Moving beyond the usual good-versus-evil story that pits master-planner Robert Moses against the plucky neighborhood advocate Jane Jacobs, Samuel Zipp sheds new light on the rise and fall of New York's urban renewal in the decades after World War II. Focusing on four iconic "Manhattan projects"--the United Nations building, Stuyvesant Town, Lincoln Center, and the great swaths of public housing in East Harlem--Zipp unearths a host of forgotten stories and characters that flesh out the conventional history of urban renewal. He shows how boosters hoped to make Manhattan the capital of
