This timely volume examines how policies, institutions, and places influence the lives of immigrants and temporary migrants to Canada and…
how, in turn, those newcomers transform the cities in which they live.Social Resilience and International Migration in the Canadian City draws attention to disparities in outcomes for migrants and proposes strategies to enhance their participation in cities of all sizes. Focused on Ontario and Quebec, chapters pinpoint factors that affect the settlement and integration of immigrants, as well as growing numbers of international students, foreign workers, and refugee claimants. Contributors illustrate how federal, provincial, and municipal policies and diverse institutions – from grassroots churches to settlement agencies – can influence migrants’ capacity to navigate and leverage the resources required to overcome integration challenges. The book’s social resilience framework attends to the social supports that empower migrants to take collective action for their own futures. As migrants interact with a broad range of institutions, those institutions are transformed and become more resilient themselves.Directed at a wide audience of community and government practitioners, migration policy experts, scholars, and civil society activists, Social Resilience and International Migration in the Canadian City provides crucial insight about the policies necessary for helping both migrants and cities thrive, offering ideas for effective implementation.

"This book − and Cat Sims generally − helps me to breathe a bit easier. My shoulders drop, my jaw relaxes,…
and I know everything is going to be OK." - Bryony GordonThe mental load isn&’t just about doing all the stuff. The mental load is constantly thinking about having to do all the stuff, and then, when you forget to do some of the stuff, the mental load is also about beating yourself up about that, while still trying to keep in mind all the other stuff you&’ve got to do. The mental load. Emotional labour. The invisible burden – whatever you call it, every woman is familiar with the neverending list of things to do that exists in their head. This noise that plays on a constant loop is impacting the mental health of women everywhere. Writer, content creator, podcaster, wife and mum Cat Sims describes the devastating impact the mental load had on her own happiness, mental health and marriage. After having children, the unequal division of responsibility in her household came into stark relief. Her desperate efforts to be the perfect wife and mother left her mentally, emotionally and physically defeated – ultimately driving her to addiction and a crisis point in her marriage. With eye-opening honesty and her trademark dry humour, Cat tells the story of her relationship with the mental load and, in turn, offers a blunt but ultimately hopeful appraisal of society and women&’s experience of it. This necessary book will incite honest conversation, make you feel less alone and give you the confidence to invite your loved ones to share the mental load.

'Lucashenko is a national treasure: there are no two ways around it.' Vogue Australia * Already the winner of eight…
major literary awards, including Australia's richest literary prize * TWO UNFORGETTABLE STORIES. TWO FAMILIES. TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF HISTORY. 1854: When Mulanyin meets the beautiful Nita in Brisbane – or Edenglassie, as it was once briefly known – his community still outnumbers the British settlers. Tensions are simmering just beneath the surface of a fragile peace, but hopes for independence are running high. Yet when colonial unrest tears through the region, Mulanyin's passion for his new bride clashes with his loyalty to a homeland in danger. Two centuries later, fiery activist Winona meets Dr Johnny when her grandmother Eddie has a serious fall. Winona just wants the obstinate centenarian back on her feet, but a shrewd journalist has other ideas. Eddie becomes a local celebrity, dominating the headlines as 'Queensland's Oldest Aboriginal'. Her time in the spotlight brings past and present crashing together, the legacy of Nita and Mulanyin's tragic past reaching into Winona and Eddie's lives with consequences they couldn't have predicted.

This book gives a very clear description of the calculation of the magic numbers regarding roll, roll resistance, load transfer…
and total wheel load. The reader will first learn to measure his racing car himself in order to ultimately get to know and understand the car's setup better. This is followed successively by the teaching of the basics with the claim of immediate applicability of the knowledge. First, the most important properties of the tyres are described in order to convey how to optimally utilise the properties of the tyres. Only then are the mass-spring system, shock absorbers, anti-roll bars, suspension geometries and aerodynamics dealt with, with the aim of making the best possible use of the tyres' potential. What has been learned is optimally applied to driving through a curve, divided into five essential phases of the corner, and an analysis for possible causes of understeer and oversteer is carried out for each phase, and solutions are given. Also examples of lap time simulations are described. Finaly an extensive example is given of the calculation of load transfer, roll, roll resistance, wheel travel, roll angle, pitch, and the final wheel loads.

This book focuses on a number of recently created and successfully used bio/phytoremediation technologies for pollution reduction and control that…
were not given more thorough discussion in earlier works. The earth's crust contains heavy metals naturally as one of its constituents. The main cause of the discharge of harmful metals into the soil and aquatic habitats, aside from natural sources, is man-made activity, particularly industrialization. As a result of various human activities, excessive amounts of heavy metals—including chromium, arsenic, lead, mercury, copper, and zinc—are released into the environment. These metals eventually contaminate agricultural soils and water bodies and have a negative effect on the ecosystem. Additionally, even at very low concentrations, heavy metal poses a dangerous threat to both humans and animals due to its tremendous toxicity. Appropriate remediation technology is needed to address the problems caused by toxic heavy metal contamination. The technology should be affordable, eco-friendly, and provide long-term solutions. Such required properties are offered by biological remediation approaches, such as microbial and phytoremediation, for the treatment of heavy metal contamination. The discussion of biological remediation technologies as a sustainable method involves several techniques involved in the removal of harmful heavy metals.

This book contains previously classified information on the physical and chemical characteristics of metallic and composite materials used in the…
production of elements of special-purpose structures, and reveals the set of techniques and tools through which this information was obtained. It sets the foundations for the methodology of systematic automated identification of the special-purpose structures by their fragments. The main topics are theoretical foundations and practical results of scanning electron microscopy in determining chemical composition, structure, surface topography and frequency characteristics (reflection and absorption coefficients of electromagnetic waves) of fragments of the structures made of both metal alloys and composite materials. Applied aspects such as the parameters of electromagnetic radiation recommended for effective identification of special-purpose structures made of composite radiation absorbent materials and coatings; development of a scientifically based system for automated identification of the structures by their fragments. The book is aimed at solving the problem to prevent uncontrolled or "gray" transfer of special-purpose products, technologies and materials of military or dual use by forming a scientifically based automatic identification system (by class and country of origin) of special-purpose products by their fragments, using scanning electron microscopy to determine their chemical composition, structure, surface topography, and frequency characteristics. The book is useful to a wide range of specialists in the field of materials science, as well as specialists in the defense sector of industry.

These topics are enduring themes that captures the heart of human existence, and have been the focus of many works of philosophy and literature. However, there remains scope for further examination. This book offers a compelling case to expand the exploration beyond the preponderance of white, male canonical figures that have dominated the field, in order to include an array of scholars that more accurately capture the diversity of humanity. It does so by drawing on Greek, Asian, Africana, Continental, and Feminist thinkers, and exploring a myriad of literary works to illustrate and interrogate the theories.
