In Boundaries of Care, Ryan I. Logan details the lived experience of community health workers (CHWs) – a present yet often invisible facet of the healthcare workforce. These workers participate in nonclinical services to enhance the health and well-being of their communities outside the walls of the clinic and social service agencies. Logan examines the boundaries of and barriers to care present in the experiences of CHWs, their relationships with clients, issues of professionalization, impacts of burnout and self-care, and the critical impacts of CHW advocacy. Told through first-hand accounts and interwoven with theory, Logan presents the key challenges facing this workforce and their potential to foster even greater well-being within their communities. The findings and recommendations from participants found within Boundaries of Care can inform and shape CHW programs both in the United States and abroad.

This book explores the characteristics we use to defend ourselves against conflict and suffering. In the CPA seminar format, Liz Greene uses the experiences and questions of the audience to discuss the mechanisms brought into play and their basis in the birthchart.

This interdisciplinary volume maintains the importance of a spatial understanding of society and history, but suggests a way of conceiving of borders and space that goes beyond a school map of states. Its subject is the struggle among differing spatial logics, or mental maps. It is concerned with the meaning that state borders hold for people, but recognizes that such meaning varies and is contested by other social formations. To what degree do state borders encase the mechanisms that make the decisive rules governing people's lives and to what extent do they give way to other rulemakers? To what extent do states circumscribe the communities to which people feel attached and to what extent do they intersect with other communities of belonging? These essays home in on the struggles and conflicting demands on people, given that state borders are not automatically pre-eminent and that other spatial logics demand attention.

Are there scientific problems that cannot be solved? Does nature itself impose fundamental limits on our knowledge of the universe? Despite the work of some of the greatest minds of the 20th century, no one really knows. In 1995 this profound & far-reaching concern brought together a small but select group of scientists in a remote scientific outpost in Sweden. Includes: John Barrow on the limits of science, John Casti on the search for the unknowableÓ in science, James Hartle on quantum cosmology, Harold Morowitz on complexity & epistemology, & 6 more chapters that illuminates the possible limits to what we can know by using the tools of science.

Emotional, psychological and social situations construct a sense of values and perceptions in the process of life. The mundane situations of everyday life may not necessitate great thought, but once stressors are added, everything changes. When we are presented with unpredictable boundaries and barriers in life, the choices we make will affect the future. Physical barriers exist as steadfast challenges that provoke a change of course in overcoming the barriers. My thesis work is intended to both elicit feelings and provoke questions pertaining to these events. Consequences are judged and evaluated. I explore the events that cause change and initiate a dialogue with the viewer through the use of tangible objects. They create a duality within the sculpture by their inherent association but are ambiguous in function to elicit reflection.

This book critically examines how borders and boundaries, physical and symbolic, unfold in different geographies and spaces. It aims to understand why they exist and how they are constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed. The book explores why certain borders/boundaries persist while others are removed, and new ones are erected. It does not focus on one form of border, boundary or geographic location. It shifts its attention to different geographies, borders, and boundaries. It also focuses on intersections between them and how they complete each other. The book provides case studies from the past and present, allowing readers to connect subjects, periods, and geographies. The chapters address classical subjects such as nation-states and tackle novel questions such as ownership against access, that is, of urban infrastructures, COVID-19 and lockdowns, and the divides within digital worlds. The book benefits from visual essays that complement the theoretical and empirical chapters, showing the complexity of the phenomenon in a simple and effective way. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, and students working in the fields of urban and rural studies, urban sociology, cities and communities, urban and regional planning, urban anthropology, political sciences and migration studies, human geography, cultural geography, urban anthropology, and visual arts.

This creative and informative book explores the ways in which barriers can be used to add style and character to the garden. The first half of the book looks at boundary choices, from traditional fences, walls, hedges, trellises and railings, to screens and natural boundaries. The second section of the book looks at the finishing effects that can be applied to off-the-peg or existing boundaries to customize them with your personal style, add a decorative theme, or blend them in with the property and its surroundings.

The importance of political boundaries in the development, function and flow of tourism cannot be overemphasized.
