A History of Video Art is a revised and expanded edition of the 2006 original, which extends the scope of the first edition, incorporating a wider range of artists and works from across the globe and explores and examines developments in the genre of artists' video from the mid 1990s up to the present day. In addition, the new edition expands and updates the discussion of theoretical concepts and ideas which underpin contemporary artists' video. Tracking the changing forms of video art in relation to the revolution in electronic and digital imaging that has taken place during the last 50 years, A History of Video Art orients video art in the wider art historical context, with particular reference to the shift from the structuralism of the late 1960s and early 1970s to the post-modernist concerns of the 1980s and early 1990s. The new edition also explores the implications of the internationalisation of artists' video in the period leading up to the new millennium and its concerns and preoccupations including post-colonialism, the post-medium condition and the impact and influence of the internet.

Becoming a Multiculturally Competent Counselor

By: Changming Duan,Chris Brown

Organized around the latest CACREP Standards, this timely book covers the core concepts, theories, and skills of multicultural and social justice counseling. With a focus on helping readers develop their multicultural professional identities, the authors conceptualize multicultural identity development as the foundation for comprehending the pervasive impact of social privilege and oppression and developing competencies to effectively work with the culturally diverse. Case illustrations, exercises, and an emphasis on reflective practice foster a true understanding and application of concepts. Becoming a Multiculturally Competent Counselor is part of the SAGE Counseling and Professional Identity Series, which targets specific competencies identified by CACREP (Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs).

A Violent History of Benevolence

Interlocking Oppression in the Moral Economies of Social Working

By: Chris Chapman,A.J. Withers

A Violent History of Benevolence traces how normative histories of liberalism, progress, and social work enact and obscure systemic violences. Chris Chapman and A.J. Withers explore how normative social work history is structured in such a way that contemporary social workers can know many details about social work’s violences, without ever imagining that they may also be complicit in these violences. Framings of social work history actively create present-day political and ethical irresponsibility, even among those who imagine themselves to be anti-oppressive, liberal, or radical. The authors document many histories usually left out of social work discourse, including communities of Black social workers (who, among other things, never removed children from their homes involuntarily), the role of early social workers in advancing eugenics and mass confinement, and the resonant emergence of colonial education, psychiatry, and the penitentiary in the same decade. Ultimately, A Violent History of Benevolence aims to invite contemporary social workers and others to reflect on the complex nature of contemporary social work, and specifically on the present-day structural violences that social work enacts in the name of benevolence.

World Religions - Is There a Meaning for You?

Your Candid Guide to Truth and Contradiction

By: Ron Forbes,Christopher Hartney

*S*T*O*P* *P*R*E*S*S* This book won the Silver Medal eLit Book Awards 2014: Religion (Eastern & Western). The Gold Medal went to the Dalai Lama. - Do you want to understand people of different faiths around you - at work, in relationships, or interfaith? - Or do you wonder about the journey of religion through the ages and its impact on us all today? - Are you looking for a religion? Changing religions? Find you're becoming an atheist - and feeling guilty? Or the reverse! - Do you think you might be in a 'cult'? Here you have in one place the answers you want. - Are you looking for meaning and fulfilment in your life? Then browse the world's religions. You may be surprised! This is the popular guide to religion - all religions, for everyone. This common sense guide gives a deeply felt appreciation of what each religion offers, as well as a candid look at the negatives - the untold story. There are Ten Guidelines you can use to assess any faith (or 'cult') if you're thinking of changing religions or going atheist (or the other way round). Humour at times! Our purpose in writing this is to support all those with a need to understand a faith of any kind - in themselves or others around them. It will also help you understand the many ways in which our lives have been affected by religion - the impact on culture, ethics, authority, politics, education, change, gender equality, social taboos and more. It may even help you discuss the un-discussible! It's also for those joining a religion or leaving one. Included are such religions as Atheism and Agnosticism - together with Consumerism (some fun here!) Any book of this kind is influenced by the religious background of the authors. We speak from our personal connection, exploration, research and travel with many of the religious traditions described - including Atheism. One of us has a background in the Earth Sciences, the other in the Arts and Religion. There is much here relating to Interfaith Dialogue - where people attempt to cross the gulfs that divide us and see what's on the other side. At the end of the book you will find firsthand accounts from people of widely differing faiths describing from their own perspectives the experience of full commitment to their tradition. In these stories, we see the power of religion to touch the soul, to heal, and to change lives. If you want inspiration, turn to these stories. This book follows the progress of religions over time and their impact on one another. We start with the most ancient religions: the Pagan and the Australian Aboriginal. Since the book is being launched in the Western world, we take up next the ones most familiar to us, the Abrahamic religions - those that begin with the Jewish prophet Abraham: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. After that, we turn to the Eastern religions, starting with Hinduism (the oldest) and following on to Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Daoism, then Atheism - and Consumerism (with some laughs). Included are the many branches and sects in between, and some serious 'cults'. Despite the obvious conflicts, and the belief of many that the religion they grew up with has remained unchanged 'from the beginning', all religions, as they spread to new societies, inherit some of the local cultural practices and beliefs and become modified as a result. Religions continue to be in dialogue with one another, have evolved and mutated with time and now show some signs of coming together as friends, rather than as long-term rivals. We encourage this possibility. And if you have no religious belief? Take a look anyway and ask yourself what are the origins of your own beliefs in general, and your values - and what might you owe to whom? How did we get where we are today?

6 Group Bomber Command

An Operational Record

6 Group Bomber Command

An Operational Record

By: Chris Ward

6 Group was born out of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), which, among other things called for the formation of 25 Canadian Squadrons in Britain. This figure was later downsized. The Canadian vision was of a Canadian force operating independently alongside Bomber Command in the manner of the American 8th, but skillfull negotiating by the British resulted in Canadian Bomber squadrons operating within the RAF under RAF control but funded by Canada. On the 1st of January 1943 most of the existing RCAF squadrons were brought together on stations in North Yorkshire and County Durham to form 6 Group. By the end of the war 14 Squadrons were operational and one other had been posted to the Pathfinders. After an uncertain beginning the Group became an efficient and valuable contributor to Bomber Command's campaigns. Beginning predominantly with Wellingtons the Group was re-equipped with a mixture of Halifaxes and Lancasters, including the Hercules powered MkII and the Canadian built MKX.
