Donation-based crowdfunding is an increasingly common and visible practice where campaigners ask friends, family, and even complete strangers for help. It isn't unusual to see these campaigns in the news and on social media following a tragedy or disaster and they have helped millions of people. However, crowdfunding also creates serious ethical and political problems, including undermining privacy, worsening social inequities and injustices, and encouraging fraud and misinformation. This book presents these concerns in the context of more traditional giving practices. It ends with values to guide crowdfunding and suggestions for how to engage in crowdfunding in less problematic ways.

How Free Are We? contains a collection of edited interviews from The Free Will Show, a podcast by the philosophers Taylor W. Cyr and Matthew T. Flummer. In an accessible and conversational format, a variety of leading scholars introduce the main issues, questions, and arguments in the free will debate.

Political protest is often at least partially about the question of legitimacy. How can we distinguish whether a regime is legitimate, or merely purports to be so? In Facing Authority, Thomas Fossen develops a new philosophical approach to political legitimacy, interweaving analyses of key concepts (including representation, identity, and temporality) with examples of real-life struggles for legitimacy, from the German Autumn to the Arab Spring. Instead of asking "what makes authorities legitimate?" in the abstract, Fossen investigates how the question of legitimacy manifests itself in practice. The result is a pragmatist alternative to predominant moralist and realist approaches to legitimacy in political philosophy.

This book examines the evolution of the Korean welfare state over the last several decades and the challenges it currently faces as a rapidly aging society.

Using a range of examples of conducting polymers from the early 19th century onwards, this book shows that the history of conjugated organic polymers begins before the late 1970s, thus rethinking the accepted historical narrative and providing new insights.

In Hardship Duty, Stephanie Bonnes focuses on the puzzle of how sexual abuse remains highly prevalent in an organization that has dynamic policies, prevention strategies, and evolving education programs designed to combat sexual violence as well as victim services and legal assistance. Bonnes uncovers the processes that sustain sexual violence vulnerability, and the institutional and interpersonal factors that contribute to harassment. She also examines how organizational values shape harassment and broader workplace experiences of U.S. servicewomen.

This book serves as a guide for scholars, employees, and leaders of organizations to conceive and build community in the workplace--necessary for a healthy and productive work environment. Weaving scientific theory, models, and concepts together with the story of a young executive learning how to foster community in her business, Neil Boyd illustrates the practical considerations to consider in building community at work. Building Community at Work translates the theoretical foundations and empirical findings from the science of management and community research into clear ways to harness community to improve the workplace.

The Scope and Limits of Partiality takes as its starting point the fact that we demonstrate partiality toward those to whom we stand in intimate relationships, a fact which presents both theoretical and practical challenges. At the theoretical level, Diane Jeske argues that we have fundamental reasons to care for our intimates, but that that fact alone does not justify our practices of partiality because we also have fundamental reasons to care for persons in need, be they intimates or strangers. At the normative level, she argues that our intimate relationships, be they to other persons or to non-human animals, add great value to our lives, and that public policy should acknowledge the great diversity of intimate relationships rather than emphasizing romance and marriage in the way that it does.

The Face of the Nation studies women's leadership and gender relations across some of the worst performing and most male-dominated spheres of state--international affairs. Exploring the stories from almost 80 global women leaders, as well as institutional histories and policies across diplomacy, defense, national security, policing, and intelligence, this book seeks to understand why women remain under-represented on the global stage, despite many changing social and policy norms. Using Australia as a leading case study, the book extends theories on gender and international institutions to understand the gendered, racialized, and heteronormative structures that continue to limit and impact on diverse women's leadership and participation internationally.

The Oxford Handbook of Gangs and Society is the premier reference book on gangs for practitioners, policymakers, students, and scholars. This carefully curated volume contains 43 chapters written by the leading experts in the field, who advance a central theme of "looking back, moving forward" by providing state-of-the-art reviews of the literature they created, shaped, and (re)defined. This international, interdisciplinary collective of authors provides readers with a rare tour of the field in its entirety, expertly navigating thorny debates and the at-times contentious history of gang research, while simultaneously synthesizing flourishing areas of study that advance the field into the 21st century.

In this book, Luara Ferracioli defends a new theory of the moral right to parent by focusing on the special role of parents in creating the conditions for the flourishing of their children irrespective of whether there is a biological connection between them, and by explaining why the parent-child relationship remains valuable even after the child reaches the age of majority. Ferracioli argues that justice towards children requires that the liberal state make adoption more desirable and feasible for its citizens. The book provides a partial theory of childrearing which focuses on the goods of childhood that parents are primarily responsible for fostering: carefreeness, enjoyment-driven or curiosity-driven achievement, and friendship.

This volume tells the story of the interaction between Christianity and law, historically and today, in the traditional heartlands of Christianity and around the globe. Sixty new chapters by leading scholars provide authoritative and accessible accounts of foundational Christian teachings on law and legal thought over the past two millennia; the current interaction and contestation of law and Christianity on all continents; how Christianity shaped and was shaped by core public, private, penal, and procedural laws; various old and new forms of Christian canon law, natural law theory, and religious freedom norms; Christian teachings on fundamental principles of law and legal order; and Christian contributions to controversial legal issues.

We all have ethical beliefs, such as the belief that torture is wrong. Ethical beliefs purport to guide our behaviour rather than merely to describe the world, and this creates a puzzle: What could possibly make some of these beliefs be true? Ethical realists hold that there are ethical facts that make some of them true. Ethical naturalists contend that these are ordinary natural facts -- facts that are similar in all relevant respects to physical ones. This idea has seemed especially problematic. How could it be that any ordinary natural fact has the kind of normativity -- the action-guiding nature -- that our ethical beliefs point to? David Copp answers these puzzles and argues, surprisingly, that ethical naturalism is better positioned to explain the nature of normativity than its alternatives.

The PROSPER study is the premier study of adolescent peer networks in the world.

Introductory chapters explain the theories of adolescent development and network influence, and the elements of peer network science, while the remaining chapters focus on a particular topic or domain of adolescent behavior, bringing together advances in the field across several disciplines.

This book represents a philosophical and scientific journey that will proceed according to three stages of increasing levels of complexity, beginning with the atom, then moving to macromolecules, and finally moving to the threshold of life. The first stage analyzes the transition from the qualitatively undifferentiated atom to differentiated atoms. The second stage analyzes the passage from atoms to molecule and the third stage examines the passage from molecule to macromolecule.
