Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the concept of Coronaspeak, the language adopted by the global community as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; it involves jokes, slang, public health slogans, cliché, and coronalit (corona related literature). In Coronaspeak we see new vocabulary and coinage like solomoon (honeymoon without the honey), elbow bump or Coronafussgruss (German, ‘corona foot-greeting’), variant labelling in the Greek alphabet (omicron and delta), new drug naming (AstraZeneca), medical jargon (pathogen, R number), semi-technical (spillover, variant) and common expressions (stale air, rebound), and informal speech, dialect and nonce words (jab, jag, and ‘the lurgi’). The book highlights the capacity of words to adapt to shock and social disorder, and argues that they are part of disaster management, with entries from Italian, French, Japanese, German and Korean, taken from scholarly articles and print and internet sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chronicle, a memoir, a reflection on the pandemic, and a cultural analysis of the new spatial, social, and epistemological forms that have arisen with it, this volume weaves together cultural history, aesthetics, and urban and digital studies. It looks at the particular ways in which the possibilities for touch, touching and being touched, both physically and affectively, are reconfigured by the pandemic. How are love, care, and humanity’s complex relationships with technology and nature played out in the interval between abandoned city centres and digitally mediated gatherings? How can we comprehend the reconfiguration of relationships through the human response to the pandemic as an experience that concerns us all but affects each of us in different ways? How do we think through the technological and material dependencies that the pandemic situation establishes? And how does this allow us to imagine the world beyond the pandemic—both utopian and dystopian? The essays in this book explore the new forms of intimacy and distance that are developing in the wake of COVID-19, offering a distinctive, topical analysis in the fields of urban and digital studies.

Come along to see how Corona and his Virus family wreak havoc on the world, and read until the very end to see whether researchers and scientists find a cure. There is hope, even in this crazy and scary time. Author's Note: My name is Maya and I'm 11 years old. I have written The Story of Corona Virus to bring a little bit of light into everyone's life during these tough and scary times. This book tells the story of Coronavirus in a funny and fictional way. When I finished writing it, my family and I decided that proceeds from the sales of the book will go to Uncle AL's Foundation. The foundation was created by my parents after they were told the devastating news that their uncle Al was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable disease. Uncle AL's Foundation seeks to increase awareness of and raise much-needed funds for research and treatment options for ALS sufferers.

Book excerpt: This short, though comprehensive book, goes far beyond the immediate impact of the "pandemic", but, along with the reader, imagines how our human world may be altered, both positively and negatively, long into an uncertain future. Clearly, the economic, political and social impact is more long-lasting and harmful to human life than a seasonal infectious disease such as a generic "coronavirus" (i.e., a medical term that can imply a common cold or influenza) which generally fades in the summer and rises in the winter months every year. The overarching tyranny and authoritarian control systems being imposed are far more devastating in both the short and long-term effects than this virus.This pandemic has revealed the psychological makeup of our modern society, how fearful, apathetic and obedient many of us have become, how spoiled for comfort and convenience, how quickly some of us blame others for our problems and refuse to take responsibility, and how thoroughly we can avoid, resist and ignore the truth.Yet others are seeing the light at the end of this tunnel, the opportunity which may present ourselves to create a better world, not a dystopian nightmare. After being bombarded with contradictory and confusing health advice by numerous public health "experts" and our "friends" on social media, how can any of us remain in denial about the profound and life-changing implications of the rapid changes being foisted upon us. If we take off the blindfolds, we might very likely see a pre-planned and well-orchestrated pandemic, a "plandemic"? Let's remove the blindfolds and masks, take notice what's actually happening around us. It's to our benefit to do so.Let's take a good look at what we have learned so far and see how we can still "live free in an unfree world". Together, let's imagine a "Dawning of the Corona Age!"

Book excerpt: This book was specifically designed due to the highly noted need to discuss the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in a child friendly language with our children, students and young clients.As occupational therapy practitioners, we strive to bring awareness and solutions to everyday issues. COVID-19 has impacted every human being world-wide and has altered their life and daily functions in one way or another. Through this book, we aspire to enhance the children's overall quality of life by discussing various possibilities of play, family time and academics following new safety guidelines through a memorable book experience.We aim to diminish the fear of COVID-19 as it can have a negative impact on a child's overall mental and physical well-being. Instead, we hope to educate and transform the young readers into their own superheroes by using creativity and exploration. Additionally, we hope to ensure that children never feel alone or isolated during this vital time in our lives, and that they can freely look up to their own everyday superheroes such as their parents, caregivers, teachers and more. By instilling these "superhero support systems" in all children, our motive is to build up the confidence needed for them to take on the world through the education of proper hygiene to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in a positive and playful way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the psychology of Carl Jung, this illuminating new book invites coaches to extend their toolbox with deep, creative, and efficient professional methods that derive from a new perspective on coaching. In using the unconscious archetypes as a practical active psychological database for change, the Jungian coach can contribute significant modification in the coachee’s expected behavior. Jungian Coaching can be applied in evaluating the coachee, the team, and the corporation. This book translates Jungian psychology into simple comprehensive concepts. Each chapter translates theoretical concepts and rationale to thepractice of coaching. Illustrated with practical examples from the corporate world and life coaching, it offers Jungian Coaching tools and techniques. By integrating the Gestalt psychology principle of the "here and now" into Jungian concepts, the author develops a new coaching tool that enables an activation of archetypes as a useful and empowering coaching experience. A valuable introductory resource for all those involved in coaching relationships, this book can empower coachees and serve as a compass for personal growth. It will be of great interest to practicing coaches, executives, human resource managers, consultants, and psychotherapists.

Recent trends in as many as ten languages are considered, including general and specialized language, monolingual as well as bilingual and printed as well as online dictionaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking Heritage in Precarious Times sets a fresh agenda for Heritage Studies by reflecting upon the unprecedented nature of the contemporary moment. In doing so, the volume also calls into question established ideas, ways of working, and understandings of the future. Presenting contributions by leading figures in the field of Heritage Studies, Indigenous scholars, and scholars from across the global north and global south, the volume engages with the most pressing issues of today: coloniality, the climate emergency, the Covid-19 pandemic, structural racism, growing social and economic inequality, and the ongoing struggle for dignity and restitution.Considering the impact of climate change, chapters re-imagine museums for climate action, explore the notion of a world heritage for the Anthropocene, and reflect on heritage and posthumanism. Drawing inspiration from the global demonstrations against racism, police violence and authoritarianism, chapters explore the notion of a people’s heritage, draw on local and Indigenous conceptualizations to lay out a notion of heritage in the service of social justice and restitution, and detail the precariousness of universities and heritage institutions in the global south. Analysing the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, chapters also explore the changing nature of life under lockdown, describe its effects on theories of urbanity, and reflect on emergent Covid socialities and heritage-in-the-making. Rethinking Heritage in Precarious Times argues that we need the deep-time perspective that Heritage Studies offers, as well as its sense of transgenerational conversations and accountabilities, in order to respond to these many challenges—and to craft open, creative, and inclusive futures. It will be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of heritage, anthropology, memory, history, and geography.
