Book Description
This book shows how society is changing, in terms of class, ethnicity and attitudes towards gender and work. It covers research methods, which are important for sociology and many other subjects. It relates to the different theories about modern society, including modernisation theory functionalism and feminism. It investigates how attitudes towards crime and religion have changed in the UK and also other countries. Donald Trump has commented about globalisation and the effects on the American people. This book looks at globalisation and how it affects people in many countries. The governor of the Bank of England and nearly all world leaders have pledged their support to reduce the impact of climate change. This book therefore covers the topic, reflecting Spurlings views as an environmentalist. The book also covers voting behaviour. It includes typical ideas behind examination questions. As an examiner Spurling is well aware that many examination reports state that too many students have been well drilled, but are not answering what the question requires. This book aims to help people overcome this problem.

Book Description
This interdisciplinary collection charts the experiences of young people in places of spatial marginality around the world, dismantling the privileging of urban youth, urban locations and urban ways of life in youth studies and beyond. Expert authors investigate different dimensions of spatiality including citizenship, materiality and belonging, and develop new understandings of the complex relationships between place, history, politics and education. From Australia to India, Myanmar to Sweden, and the UK to Central America, international examples from both the Global South and North help to illuminate wider issues of intergenerational change, social mobility and identity. By exploring young lives beyond the city, this book establishes different ways of thinking from a position of spatial marginality.

Book Description
"The chapters that make up this book recognize through examples from research, practice and evaluation of quality with lived experiences that diverse contemporary popular musics can provide useful tools not just for entertainment and fun, but for learning, growth and healing/wellness. Hip hop, techno, grime, drill and suchlike are contemporary genres that have been stigmatized through association with the BAME community. At the same time, however, these musics are typically the listening diet of choice today in our inner cities. These contemporary musics of the inner-city and their associated music-related activities (e.g., deejaying, beat making, mixtape making but also dance, visual art and more) are celebrated and embraced as extraordinarily powerful tools for building and maintaining academic, social, and emotional competencies. These musics are loved and they can open up opportunities for creativities among those who often feel seriously marginalized. In turn, these musics (and activities associated with them) can provided opportunities to engage and/or support those at the social and educational margins. In other words, the musics at the heart of this book have faced exclusionary pressures but they can also work for inclusion when utilized in educational/pedagogical or therapeutic practices. As a whole, the book seeks to account for the power and impact of a set of contemporary popular musics in educational, therapeutic and community contexts, and to ask questions as to just where this power comes from, how we can measure its impact and where the future might lead"--
