  • Embracing the Complexity of Gender

    An Inclusive, Feminist, & Developmental Exploration
    • 1st Edition
    • Emily Keener
    • English
    Embracing the Complexity of Gender examines the heart of a modern gender revolution, exploring the dynamic and multifaceted nature of gender in contemporary society. Spurred by landmark events such as the legalization of same-sex marriage and the rise of transgender visibility, this revolution has ignited passionate debates and a heightened interest in understanding gender's complexities. From legal battles over all-gender bathrooms to corporate decisions challenging traditional gender norms, the discourse around gender has never been more vibrant or contentious. This book combines a developmental and intersectional feminist approach with accessible, engaging content.By including discussion questions and clear definitions of key terms, the book ensures that complex ideas are understandable for readers at all levels. Drawing on psychological evidence and theoretical perspectives, this book challenges the gender binary and emphasizes the importance of social justice and inclusion.

    • English
    Environmental Pollution and Cardiovascular Diseases helps stakeholders enhance their knowledge about environmental pollution, weather conditions, climate change, and impacts on the cardiovascular system. The book further aims to ameliorate the global burden of cardiovascular deaths attributable to pollution by identifying trends in pollution-linked cardiovascular disease from the 1990s to present day. Overall, air pollution is estimated to cause about 34% of ischemic heart disease deaths. As these figures show no sign of declining, this book is a must-have for researchers, cardiologists, and others seeking to understand such an important etiological factor in so many cardiovascular illnesses.
