PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This book, by an author who is himself disabled, looks at the individualised and medicalised views of disability and describes the way they have been produced in capitalist society. Further, it then analyses the possibilities for achieving political change within this current era of late capitalism and the significance of the emergent disability movement as part of this process of change.

Philosophy

Palgrave HE UK

Understanding Disability develops some of the main themes and issues surrounding disability that have arisen in the last twenty years, offering both a personal journey of exploration and understanding and an attempt to take further our theoretical understanding of disability.

Sociology

This edition has been revised to take into account legislative changes since 1983 and theoretical developments in the field of disability. Whilst continuing to highlight the negative impact of welfare policy on the lives of disabled people, the book explores how social work can contribute to removing disabling barriers. It also considers the implications that an anti-disablist practice would have for education and training of social workers and the management of welfare agencies.

Professional investors are bombarded on a day to day basis with assertions about the role liquidity is playing and will play in determining prices in the financial markets. Few, if any, of the providers or recipients of such advice can truly claim to understand the well–springs of such liquidity and the transmission mechanisms through which it impacts asset prices. 
This groundbreaking new book explores the belief that at the core of liquidity there is a force which exerts individuals to effect a financial transaction when they would not otherwise do so. Understanding this force of compulsion is a key to understanding a financial market when it appears to be behaving irrationally. This book will enable new and seasoned investors to develop an understanding of the factors, so that costly mistakes can be avoided without the lesson of experience.
