"This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of housing for people with serious mental illness, with a special focus on citizenship and community life as key outcomes for people living with serious mental illness in community housing. It examines the history of this field while also pointing to the future to strengthen our theories, research, practice, and policy. The field of housing and mental health has been rapidly evolving over the past decade. This is the first comprehensive overview of this field. Despite impressive progress, the field is somewhat fractured and suffers from conceptual and definitional confusion. This book draws not only on the work of the editors, but also on the perspectives, experience, and expertise of a diverse set of international authors who are researchers, providers, and advocates of this housing. Thus, the book provides a summary of these critical developments, serves as a resource for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers looking for up-to-date reviews and perspectives on this field, as well as a sourcebook for current and future research and practice trends."

"The term 'entrepreneurship' has usually been associated with private sector activities. The term has appeared frequently in public sector literature, with scholars challenged to find new multi-disciplinary frameworks. This collection contributes to the debate due to a confusing array of terminology on creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Scholars and practitioners are looking for flexible and adaptable approaches to shaping organisations. Key challenges face public sector institutions and partners, and success will be dependent on how well the public sector finds new ways to deliver excellent public services, and leverage support and resources from non-state partners. Public sectors across the globe have a poor record on productivity despite a dramatic expansion in public expenditure, but the on-going global economic recession has brought into focus the 'innovation and enterprise imperative' (Brown & Osborne, 2013). Innovation is embedded into daily routines and interactions with non-state actors, but these chapters illustrate ample evidence on how innovative actors can be. "

"In this book, academics, policy makers, developers, architects and landscape architects provide a systematic review of the environmental, social, economic and design benefits of dense and green building types in high-density urban contexts and discuss how these can support higher population densities, higher standards of environmental sustainability and enhanced live ability in future cities."

"In this book, leading architects and landscape architects provide their perspectives on the design of dense and green building types in high-density urban contexts that can support higher population densities, higher standards of environmental sustainability and enhanced liveability in future cities."

"Same-sex attracted, and non-gender conforming African-Americans are substantial in number, yet underrepresented in the social and behavioral science literature. This volume addresses the issues of African-American LGBT psychology as a case of indigenous psychology. The authors present the research of scholars who are developing theory, practice, and services that are couched within the specific cultural complexities of this population. Some key topics addressed in AFrican-American Issues in LGBT Psychology are gender, spirituality, family, racism, "coming out", generational differences, health and safety issues, urban vs. rural realities, and implications for researchers."

"This book attempts to consolidate contemporary thinking and research on the role of scientific argumentation in education. Perspectives on scientific argumentation brings together prominent scholars in the field to share the sum of their knowledge about the place of scientific argumentation in teaching and learning. Chapters explore scientific argumentation as a means of addressing and solving problems in conceptual change, reasoning, knowledge-building and the promotion of scientific literacy. Others interrogate topics such as the importance of language, discursive practice, social interactions and culture in the classroom. The material in this book, which features intervention studies, discourse analyses, classroom-based experiments, anthropological observations, and design-based research, will inform theoretical frameworks and changing pedagogical practices as well as encourage new avenues of research."
