The power of capital is the power to target our attention, mould
market-ready identities, and reduce the public realm to an endless
series of choices. This has far-reaching implications for our
psychological, physical and spiritual well-being, and ultimately
for our global ecology. In this consumer age, the underlying
teachings of Buddhist mindfulness offer more than individual
well-being and resilience. They also offer new sources of critical
inquiry into our collective condition, and may point, in time, to
regulatory initiatives in the field of well-being. This book draws
together lively debates from the new economics of transition,
commons and well-being, consumerism, and the emerging role of
mindfulness in popular culture. Engaged Buddhist practices and
teachings correspond closely to insights in contemporary political
philosophical investigations into the nature of power, notably by
Michel Foucault. The 'attention economy' can be understood as a new
arena of struggle in our age of neoliberal governmentality; as the
forces of enclosure - having colonized forests, land and the bodies
of workers - are now extended to the realm of our minds and
subjectivity. This poses questions about the recovery of the
'mindful commons': the practices we must cultivate to reclaim our
attention, time and lives from the forces of capitalization. This
is a valuable resource for students and scholars of environmental
philosophy, environmental psychology, environmental sociology,
well-being and new economics, political economy, environmental
politics, the commons and law, as well as Buddhist theory and
philosophy.

Written by experienced practitioners and academics, this is a core
text about the practice of residential child care. It takes as its
starting point the fact that residential child care involves
workers and children sharing a common lifespace, in which the
quality of interpersonal relationships is key. Each chapter
highlights relevant policy guidance and is developed around a
practice scenario, discussing key knowledge skills and values
relating to its theme. This highly practical book should,
therefore, be of value to a range of students at different academic
levels, from VQ to Masters, and to practitioners and managers in
residential child care. The book draws on ideas from child and
youth care and social pedagogic traditions and will appeal to a
worldwide audience and provides a valuable addition to the emerging
literature around social pedagogy.
