Examining the relationships between architecture, home and
community in the Claremont Court housing scheme in Edinburgh, Home
and Community provides a novel perspective on the enabling
potential of architecture that encompasses physical, spatial,
relational and temporal phenomena. Based on the AHRC funded project
"Place and Belonging", the chapters draw on innovative spatial
layouts amid Scottish policymakers' concerns of social change in
the 1960s, to develop theoretical understandings between
architecture, home, and community. By approaching the discourse on
home, and by positioning the home at the confluence of a network of
sociocultural identities bound by spatial awareness and design, the
writers draw on sociological interpretations of cultural
negotiation as well as theoretical underpinnings in architectural
design. In so doing, they suggest a reinterpretation of the
facilitating role of architecture as sensitive to physical and
socio-cultural reconstruction. Drawn from interviews with
residents, architectural surveys, contextual mapping and other
visual methods, Home and Community explores home as a construct
that is enmeshed with the architectural affordances that the
housing scheme represents, that is useful to both architecture and
sociology students, as well as practitioners and urban planners.

Josh Ragizzo and his family are being hunted, having been accused
of terrorism and heresy. The religious government known as Babylon
has risen to power across the entire planet, and all the nations of
the world have sworn allegiance to it. Strict economic restrictions
and death decrees have been issued against those who choose not to
conform to the worship practices of Babylon. The Ragizzos, because
of their knowledge of God as revealed in the pages of Scripture,
have refused to participate in the mandated false worship, and are
now in hiding in fear of their lives on a daily basis. The very end
times described in the prophetic writings of the Bible are upon the
earth. Join the family for a story of survival and adventure as
they live through the last Christmas the world will ever see. As
they strive to endure in and make sense of a world which has turned
upside-down, you might just come to see our world in a different
light, and see more clearly the mysteries of God.
Featuring a spectrum of families from diverse backgrounds, this
book reveals the joys and challenges of adoptive and foster
parenting. The authors outline how the experience of adopting and
fostering has changed for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
(LGBT) people over the years, major changes in policy, and what the
research can tell us about LGBT parenting. They interview families
involved at different stages of the fostering and adoption process,
from those undergoing assessments through to the experienced foster
carers and adopters who were interviewed for the first edition of
this book 20 years previously. While the number of LGBT people
adopting or fostering has increased since then, some of the very
real challenges still endure - including social stigma, homophobia
and discriminatory policies - and families share some of the
strategies they have used to help to address them. This is an
essential source of information and advice for same-sex couples and
LGBT single parents, as well as social workers, social work
educators, sociologists of personal life, fostering and adoption
panel members.
