The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities promotes ability equality, but this is not experienced in national laws.

In 1973, the music scene was forever changed by the emergence of hip-hop. Masterfully blending the rhythmic grooves of funk and soul with layered beats and chanted rhymes, artists such as DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash paved the way for an entire new genre and generation of musicians. In this comprehensive, accessible guide, Paul Edwards breaks down the difference between old school and new school, recaps the biggest influencers of the genre, and sets straight the myths and misconceptions of the artists and their music. Fans old and new alike will all learn something new about the history and development of hip-hop, from its inception up through the current day, in The Concise Guide to Hip-Hop Music.
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities promotes ability equality, but this is not experienced in national laws. Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK and the US all have one thing in common: regulatory frameworks which treat workers with psychosocial disabilities less favorably than workers with either physical or sensory disabilities. Ableism at Work is a comprehensive and comparative legal, practical and theoretical analysis of workplace inequalities experienced by workers with psychosocial disabilities. Whether it be denying anti-discrimination protection to people with episodic disabilities, addictions or other psychological impairments, failing to make reasonable accommodations/adjustments for workers with psychosocial disabilities, or denying them workers' compensation or occupational health and safety protections, regulatory interventions imbed inequalities. Ableism, sanism and prejudice are expressly stated in laws, reflected in judgments, and perpetuated by workplace practices and this book enables advocates, policy makers and lawmakers to understand the wider context in which systems discriminate workers with psychosocial disabilities.

Hard to Believe: A Beginner's Guide to Heresy reflects the author's respect for the positive role that religion plays in the life of most of humanity, and at the same time his abhorrence of the recurring brutal impact of religion on the evolution of the human race. Interwoven with this well documented and thoughtful study, is the author's own story of his conventional introduction to religion by his traditional Protestant parents, his early instruction in Christian theology and ethics in a village United Church in northern Alberta, and his lifelong reassessment of religious creeds and practices, and the role they should play in his life. The fundamental premise of Paul Roddick's exposition is that religion - every religion - rest on two pillars: theology and ethics. The former (throughout the history of mankind) has been marked by cruelty and repression, and by constant and bloody conflict. The latter, on the other hand, has provided us with definitions of morality and codes of behaviour which encourage and enable us to live together in peace and harmony. This is a book that will hold the attention Dand command the respect - of both self-confessed intellectuals, and those who think The Da Vinci Code is a very good read. It is a book which opens far more doors than it closes. For readers who are encouraged to continue their "search of truth", the books listed by Paul Roddick in the bibliography are available in your local library, or for web surfers, on eBay. This book (as its title suggests) is only a beginning. Whatever your religious roots, age or occupation, what you really believe is an issue worthy of careful consideration, and a question that will never go away.
