Gambling Debt is a game-changing contribution to the discussion of economic crises and neoliberal financial systems and strategies. Iceland’s 2008 financial collapse was the first case in a series of meltdowns, a warning of danger in the global order. This full-scale anthropology of financialization and the economic crisis broadly discusses this momentous bubble and burst and places it in theoretical, anthropological, and global historical context through descriptions of the complex developments leading to it and the larger social and cultural implications and consequences. Chapters from anthropologists, sociologists, historians, economists, and key local participants focus on the neoliberal policies—mainly the privatization of banks and fishery resources—that concentrated wealth among a select few, skewed the distribution of capital in a way that Iceland had never experienced before, and plunged the country into a full-scale economic crisis. Gambling Debt significantly raises the level of understanding and debate on the issues relevant to financial crises, painting a portrait of the meltdown from many points of view—from bankers to schoolchildren, from fishers in coastal villages to the urban poor and immigrants, and from artists to philosophers and other intellectuals. This book is for anyone interested in financial troubles and neoliberal politics as well as students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, economics, philosophy, political science, business, and ethics.

A spirited look at the history of alcohol, from the dawn of civilization to the modern day Alcohol is a fundamental part of Western culture. We have been drinking as long as we have been human, and for better or worse, alcohol has shaped our civilization. Drink investigates the history of this Jekyll and Hyde of fluids, tracing mankind's love/hate relationship with alcohol from ancient Egypt to the present day. Drink further documents the contribution of alcohol to the birth and growth of the United States, taking in the War of Independence, the Pennsylvania Whiskey revolt, the slave trade, and the failed experiment of national Prohibition. Finally, it provides a history of the world's most famous drinks-and the world's most famous drinkers. Packed with trivia and colorful characters, Drink amounts to an intoxicating history of the world.

The lands surrounding the Black Sea share a colourful past. Though in recent decades they have experienced ethnic conflict, economic collapse, and interstate rivalry, their common heritage and common interests go deep. Now, as a region at the meeting point of the Balkans, Central Asia, and the Middle East, the Black Sea is more important than ever. In this lively and entertaining book, which is based on extensive research in multiple languages, Charles King investigates the myriad connections that have made the Black Sea more of a bridge than a boundary, linking religious communities, linguistic groups, empires, and later, nations and states.

The Trick with Sticks is an uplifting story about self-worth, acceptance, happiness, building confidence and that it is ok to be different, but most of all, it is a story that helps demystify friendships and the formation of bonds."The Trick with Sticks" is just one strategy to help children with friendships and bonds by creating a framework to understand and discuss social interactions. Friendships are a natural development process for most children, but there are some who find the development of friendships tricky. What draws children together? What keeps them together? What can parents, teachers or carers do to help children develop these friendships? What are these bonds and how can they be explained? There are many opportunities throughout the story for meaningful conversations, and the chance to reflect on the things that are happening in your child's life. This is so empowering for children who may be going through a tough time making friends or for a range of challenges such as bullying, self-esteem, self-worth, unhappiness, low confidence and acceptance of themselves and others. This is highly recommended for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as they can really struggle with friendships and can often miss social cues or miss opportunities to connect or they can make the same mistakes again and again. In addition to this, neuro-typical children often miss the clues on how to be inclusive and supportive of some of their friends and this concept will empower everyone.
