Gen Z, Explained

Gen Z, Explained

Roberta Katz; Sarah Ogilvie; Jane Shaw; Linda Woodhead

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS
2022
nidottu
An optimistic and nuanced portrait of a generation that has much to teach us about how to live and collaborate in our digital world. Born since the mid-1990s, members of Generation Z comprise the first generation never to know the world without the internet, and the most diverse generation yet. As Gen Z starts to emerge into adulthood and enter the workforce, what do we really know about them? And what can we learn from them? Gen Z, Explained is the authoritative portrait of this significant generation. It draws on extensive interviews that display this generation’s candor, surveys that explore their views and attitudes, and a vast database of their astonishingly inventive lexicon to build a comprehensive picture of their values, daily lives, and outlook. Gen Z emerges here as an extraordinarily thoughtful, promising, and perceptive generation that is sounding a warning to their elders about the world around them—a warning of a complexity and depth the “OK Boomer” phenomenon can only suggest. ? Much of the existing literature about Gen Z has been highly judgmental. In contrast, this book provides a deep and nuanced understanding of a generation facing a future of enormous challenges, from climate change to civil unrest. What’s more, they are facing this future head-on, relying on themselves and their peers to work collaboratively to solve these problems. As Gen Z, Explained shows, this group of young people is as compassionate and imaginative as any that has come before, and understanding the way they tackle problems may enable us to envision new kinds of solutions. This portrait of Gen Z is ultimately an optimistic one, suggesting they have something to teach all of us about how to live and thrive in this digital world.

The Land Is Our Community

The Land Is Our Community

A contemporary defense of conservationist Aldo Leopold’s vision for human interaction with the environment. Informed by his experiences as a hunter, forester, wildlife manager, ecologist, conservationist, and professor, Aldo Leopold developed a view he called the land ethic. In a classic essay, published posthumously in A Sand County Almanac, Leopold advocated for an expansion of our ethical obligations beyond the purely human to include what he variously termed the “land community” or the “biotic community”—communities of interdependent humans, nonhuman animals, plants, soils, and waters, understood collectively. This philosophy has been extremely influential in environmental ethics as well as conservation biology and related fields. Using an approach grounded in environmental ethics and the history and philosophy of science, Roberta L. Millstein reexamines Leopold’s land ethic in light of contemporary ecology. Despite the enormous influence of the land ethic, it has sometimes been dismissed as either empirically out of date or ethically flawed. Millstein argues that these dismissals are based on problematic readings of Leopold’s ideas. In this book, she provides new interpretations of the central concepts underlying the land ethic: interdependence, land community, and land health. She also offers a fresh take on of his argument for extending our ethics to include land communities as well as Leopold-inspired guidelines for how the land ethic can steer conservation and restoration policy.

Rosemary Turner longs to leave the confines of her small Norfolk Village to engage in war work. But since the death of her mother, she has felt duty bound to stay at home to care for her father and help him with his parish duties. She meets Army Lieutenant Simon Spencer who is on convalescent leave after being wounded in the Dunkirk evacuation. He has come to the village with news of Rosemary's brother who he met at Dunkirk. She is immediately attracted to him but realizes she is unlikely to meet him again. She doesn't even know where he has been posted to. She tries to find contentment in looking after the London evacuee in her care, helping her father with his church duties and packing Red Cross parcels for prisoners of war. Things change for the villagers when the nearby air base is taken over by an American bomber group. Some call it a 'friendly invasion' but others are not so sure. Rosemary's friend Jenny is becoming more than friendly with a US pilot and flirtatious barmaid Maggie seems to be heading for trouble. And when Rosemary meets Master Sergeant Floyd Bowman, he makes it clear he would like to be more than friends. But she cannot forget Simon. Editorial Review by Victoria Chatham The setting is a village in rural Norfolk during World War II, the home of Rosemary Turner, the Rector's daughter, who would have liked to join the WAAFs, the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, and do her part for the war effort, like her friend Anne. Instead, Rosemary stays at home to look after her father, who is still mourning the loss of his wife. From this quiet beginning, we see Rosemary's character grow on every page as she navigates the hardships caused by the rationing of food and fuel supplies, her own hopes and fears, as well as those of her friends and neighbours. The arrival of evacuees from London adds another level of concern, as does the mixed emotions of the villagers when the Americans take over the local airbase. There is also her constant anxiety for her brother, Michael, not knowing if he is dead or alive. Similarly, Michael's friend and fellow officer, Simon Spencer, who has come to ask if there is any news of him. Simon remains in her mind until she is sure she is in love with him. In many small ways, Roberta Grieve has captured the essence of the era and woven it into a grand, inspiring story of resilience and hope for a brighter future.

Se il lettore si aspettasse dalla mia mano una stretta ferale alla carotide in grado di immobilizzarlo alla poltrona per il tempo necessario a terminare la lettura ricevera invece tutt'altro: storie, semplicemente storie.Vicende che scavano nella vita di uomini alla ricerca di perche, episodi che parlano di paura...E che la umiliano.Che la denigrano.Che intrepide la affrontano finalmente, stanche di non dormire la notte il sonno dei giusti.Storie che guardano in faccia una realta spesso scomoda, a volte vergognosa, oppure violenta, sempre impudica e senza veli, come una donna dalle carni abbondanti e la risata sguaiata, che da un letto un poco sfatto ammicchi il lettore, attirandolo con la mano...dall'introduzione dell'autore

When Tenants Claimed the City

When Tenants Claimed the City

Roberta Gold

University of Illinois Press
2014
sidottu
In postwar America, not everyone wanted to move out of the city and into the suburbs. For decades before World War II, New York's tenants had organized to secure renters' rights. After the war, tenant activists raised the stakes by challenging the newly-dominant ideal of homeownership in racially segregated suburbs. They insisted that renters as well as owners had rights to stable, well-maintained homes, and they proposed that racially diverse urban communities held a right to remain in place--a right that outweighed owners' rights to raise rents, redevelop properties, or exclude tenants of color. Further, the activists asserted that women could participate fully in the political arenas where these matters were decided. Grounded in archival research and oral history, When Tenants Claimed the City: The Struggle for Citizenship in New York City Housing shows that New York City's tenant movement made a significant claim to citizenship rights that came to accrue, both ideologically and legally, to homeownership in postwar America. Roberta Gold emphasizes the centrality of housing to the racial and class reorganization of the city after the war; the prominent role of women within the tenant movement; and their fostering of a concept of "community rights" grounded in their experience of living together in heterogeneous urban neighborhoods.

Beyond Versailles

Beyond Versailles

Roberta Pergher

Indiana University Press
2019
sidottu
The settlement of Versailles was more than a failed peace. What was debated at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919–1920 hugely influenced how nations and empires, sovereignty, and the international order were understood after the Great War—and into the present. Beyond Versailles argues that this transformation of ideas was not the work of the treaty makers alone, but emerged in interaction with nationalist groups, anti-colonial movements, and regional elites who took up the rhetoric of Paris and made it their own. In shifting the spotlight from the palace of Versailles to the peripheries of Europe, Beyond Versailles turns to the treaties' resonance on the ground and shows why the principles of the peace settlement meant different things in different locales. It was in places a long way from Paris—in Polish borderlands and in Portuguese colonies, in contested spaces like Silesia, Teschen and Danzig, and in states emerging from imperial collapse like Austria, Egypt, and Iran—that notions of nation and sovereignty, legitimacy, and citizenship were negotiated and contested.

The Hero of Doubt

The Hero of Doubt

Roberta Marcaccio

MIT PRESS LTD
2025
sidottu
The first English anthology of the writings of a critical figure in the history of modern architecture in Europe. The first English anthology of the writings of the British-Italian architect, editor, critic, and educator Ernesto Rogers (1909-1969), The Hero of Doubt showcases the intellectual power and scope of one of the most influential yet, paradoxically, unrecognized exponents of the modern movement in Europe. These essays, edited by Roberta Marcaccio and newly translated from the Italian, reveal how, more than any other architect of the twentieth century, Rogers positioned himself as a mediator between the heroic generation of the modern masters and the younger intellectuals who went on to shape the contextualist turns of architectural postmodernism in the 1970s. The texts in this volume cover a period of 33 years, from Rogers's initial adherence to fascism and his subsequent struggle as a Jewish intellectual after the proclamation of the racial purity laws, to his poignant post-war reflections on the issues of reconstruction, the education of the architect and, more broadly, the architect's role in society. Tracing his nuanced critique of the excesses and inadequacies of both fascism and the utopianism of modernism, the writings show how, over time, Rogers's ideas resonated through the post-war cultural scene in Italy and beyond. In sum, they fill an obvious lacuna within the history of the modern movement and provide a more layered understanding of postmodernity. This project has been made possible by generous grants from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and the Architectural Association, School of Architecture.
