The #MeToo movement created more opportunities for women to speak
up about sexual assault. But we are also living in a time when
“fake news” and “alternative facts” call into question the
very nature of truth. This troubling paradox is at the heart of
this compelling book. The convergence of #MeToo and the crisis of
post-truth is used to explore the experiences of women and people
of color whose claims around issues of sexual violence are often
held in doubt. Banet-Weiser and Higgins investigate how the
gendered and racialized logics of “believability” are defined
and contested within media culture, proposing that a mediated
“economy of believability” is the context in which public bids
for truth about sexual violence are made, negotiated, and
authorized today.
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, more commonly known as
ARFID, is a relatively newly introduced diagnostic category.
Research in the field, although growing, remains limited, with
clinical knowledge and expertise varying across clinicians. There
may be uncertainty how to correctly identify and diagnose the
disorder as well as how best to direct treatment. This clinical
guide sets out to be a trailblazer in the field, providing
up-to-date information and comprehensive clinical guidance on ARFID
in childhood and adolescence. Chapters in the book are divided into
five sections, the first focussing on the importance of attending
to the perspectives of those directly affected by ARFID. Three
subsequent sections cover diagnosis and presentation, including
chapters on aetiology, epidemiology, assessment, and outcome
measures; clinical assessment, including psychological, family,
nutritional, medical, and sensory components; and management,
discussing nutritional, medical, psychological, and wider system
approaches. The final section discusses prognosis and outcomes, and
considers future research directions. This clinically focussed
book, with contributions from a multi-disciplinary authorship, is
intended to function as an accessible, practical guide, and
reference resource. It includes summaries of available evidence,
with related recommendations for clinical practice. The advice and
suggestions included will assist clinicians in targeting their
attention appropriately, to ensure that children, adolescents, and
their families receive the best possible care.

This book aims to comprehensively review the current cell-based
strategies under investigation to achieve the regeneration of human
hair follicles. The unique capacity of the human hair follicle to
self-renew explains why this complex "mini-organ" has always
attracted so much interest as a model for researchers to study stem
cell biology and regenerative medicine. The hair follicle is
considered a main reservoir of cutaneous stem cells, containing
several pools of epithelial, melanocyte, and mesenchymal stem cells
involved in hair follicle self-regeneration and pigmentation. In
addition, while some of the different follicular cell types
contribute to hair shaft growth, others participate in very
important interfollicular functions such as dermal remodeling,
re-epithelialization after wounding, and cutaneous stem cell
homeostasis. The idea of human hair follicle regeneration either
"de novo" or by activating dormant miniaturized follicles is not
new, yet still continues to arouse enormous interest in the pursuit
of a definitive cure for baldness. In contrast to hair follicle
regeneration in mice, the attempts made with human follicles have
been disappointing in terms of efficiency. However, recent advances
in stem cell biology-as well as the appearance of new technologies
like 3D printing-have revived expectations in this field of
research. This book is divided into four sections. The first part
includes an overview of the strategies used in hair follicle
regeneration and a historical summary of the most important
achievements to date. Parts two and three comprise the main body of
the book, with detailed descriptions of the cells and tissue
structures involved in hair follicle regeneration, followed by an
elaboration of the different therapeutic strategies, engineering
techniques, and a clinician's perspective of stem cell-based
therapies in hair loss treatments. Finally, the fourth part reviews
the important contribution of the hair follicle in healing
cutaneous wounds through the regeneration and remodeling of the
dermis and epidermis after injury, as well as wound induced hair
follicle neogenesis that occurs when the skin is injured.
In the late 1970s, 2000 Vietnamese arrived in Australia by boat,
fleeing persecution. Their arrival presented a challenge to
politicians, but the way the Fraser government handled it, and the
resettlement of tens of thousands more Indochinese refugees, marked
a turning point in Australia's immigration history. Turn-backs and
detention were proposed, and rejected.Claire Higgins' important
book recounts these extraordinary events. It is driven by the
question of how we moved from a humanitarian approach to policies
of mandatory detention including on remote islands and boat
turn-backs. Like now, the politicians of the time wanted to control
entry. Unlike now, they also wanted to respect Australia's
obligations under international law.It's about how governments and
policy-makers have dealt with the confluence of issues emerging
from the end of the 'White Australia' policy, a recognition of
international responsibilities, and shifting public opinion.
Strikingly, it also shows the extent to which the attitudes and
statements of politicians and policymakers can shape the mood of
the country, for better and worse.
