Through feminist attention to the everyday, inner-workings of the drug economy, this research explores the contested spaces of the neighborhood block as both stages for the enactment of the 'war on drugs,' and intimate, formative spaces for black men as they rely on the drug economy and navigate aggressive policing and incarceration. There is a plethora of research focusing on violence and the inner city. There is also an abundance of research that investigates the role of drugs and drug dealing in the United States. However, there is little work explicitly engaging the lived experiences of practitioners and their economic agency -- particularly the experiences of black men. The dissertation addresses this gap through a community study of Grays Ferry, Philadelphia that begins from the neighborhood block and moves out to investigate the role of the drug trade in producing complex social networks of support, reciprocity, power and violence. This study integrates the well-developed theoretical and methodological lens of feminist geography with the tradition of developing a place-based understanding of life and crime in US inner-cities. The study attends to the ways in which those who sell drugs remain loyal to the practice and the community their economy creates in the face of 'war on drugs' policies that result in incarceration, harassment, and stigmatization. This project approaches the drug economy, like any economy, as a system of social relations that binds people together. Understanding this system of social relations offers insights into the inner-workings of African American, urban communities and economies in post-industrial US cities.

Lama Surya Das, the most highly trained American lama in the Tibetan tradition, presents the definitive book on Western Buddhism for the modern-day spiritual seeker. The radical and compelling message of Buddhism tells us that each of us has the wisdom, awareness, love, and power of the Buddha within; yet most of us are too often like sleeping Buddhas. In Awakening the Buddha Within, Surya Das shows how we can awaken to who we really are in order to lead a more compassionate, enlightened, and balanced life. It illuminates the guidelines and key principles embodied in the noble Eight-Fold Path and the traditional Three Enlightenment Trainings common to all schools of Buddhism: Wisdom Training: Developing clear vision, insight, and inner understanding—seeing reality and ourselves as we really are. Ethics Training: Cultivating virtue, self-discipline, and compassion in what we say and do. Meditation Training: Practicing mindfulness, concentration, and awareness of the present moment. With lively stories, meditations, and spiritual practices, Awakening the Buddha Within is an invaluable text for the novice and experienced student of Buddhism alike.

How do local drug markets impact on their 'host' communities? This report, based on the largest British study of drug-dealing to date, draws on work in three areas where drug dealing is prevalent, and assesses the the financial, social, environmental and cultural impact of local drug markets on the communities in which they operate. It documents the views of community members about the market and its impact, whilst exploring the career paths and motivations that lead people into drug dealing, together with the social and demographic differences between dealers, users and others in the community. The authors consider the extent to which drug dealers are predatory outsiders who 'prey on' the local community, suggesting that local drug markets are often integrated - to greater or lesser extent - in the licit and illicit economies of deprived areas. Understanding drug selling in communities highlights the complex nature of drug dealing and its effect on local communities. It outlines a range of possible enforcement measures and will be of interest to a range of practitioners concerned with communities, drug prevention and rehabilitation as well as local authorities, the police and probation service.

Lev Vygotsky was one of the most talented and brilliant of Soviet psychologists. Despite his tragically early death at the age of 38 his accomplishments are enormously impressive: he played a key role in restructuring the Psychological Institute of Moscow; set up two research laboratories in the major cities of the USSR; founded what we call special education; and authored some 180 works. His innovative theories of thought and speech are important not just for psychology but for other disciplines also. Yet even though his ideas have increasingly won popularity there remains a strong need for an accessible introduction to the man and his work. In Lev Vygotsky: Revolutionary Scientist Lois Holzman and Fred Newman have written a clear introductory text suitable for undergraduate students. In so doing they have taken the opportunity to set straight the misunderstandings and misuses of Vygotsky's ideas. and his work.
