Caring Democracy : Markets, Equality, and Justice
A rethinking of American democracy that puts caring responsibilities at the centerAmericans now face a caring deficit: there are simply too many demands on people’s time for us to care adequately for our children, elderly people, and ourselves.At the same time, political involvement in the United States is at an all-time low, and although political life should help us to care better, people see caring as unsupported by public life and deem the concerns of politics as remote from their lives.Caring Democracy argues that we need to rethink American democracy, as well as our fundamental values and commitments, from a caring perspective.What it means to be a citizen is to be someone who takes up the challenge: how should we best allocate care responsibilities in society?Joan Tronto argues that we need to look again at how gender, race, class, and market forces misallocate caring responsibilities and think about freedom and equality from the standpoint of making caring more just.The idea that production and economic life are the most important political and human concerns ignores the reality that caring, for ourselves and others, should be the highest value that shapes how we view the economy, politics, and institutions such as schools and the family.Care is at the center of our human lives, but Tronto argues it is currently too far removed from the concerns of politics.Caring Democracy traces the reasons for this disconnection and argues for the need to make care, not economics, the central concern of democratic political life.

Play and Social Justice : Equity, Advocacy, and Opportunity
The importance of play for healthy development is undeniable.Aspects of play have been linked to the development of social skills, health and fitness, motivation, curiosity, innovation, imagination, and problem solving.Both theory and research suggest that play of various types is critical for healthy development and that playfulness is an important quality across the life span.However, opportunities to play and quality of play facilities in schools, after-school programs, childcare centers, community parks, and museums are not equitable by race, socio-economic status, and ability. And racial profiling, immigrant status, illness, and incarceration interfere with child’s play.The first section of the book defines play and social justice and describes disparities in play opportunities in childcare, schools, and communities as well as inequities in how play is interpreted.The next section describes pre-school, elementary, high school, and university programs that use play to liberate, teach, and build community as well as after-school, hospital, and community programs that help to level the playing field of opportunity.The final part of the book discusses ways to ameliorate inequities through research and advocacy.Four research methods are described that are useful for conducting studies on the amount of play children experience, attitudes toward play, and the effect of play on other variables.Finally, a child, a parent, and a teacher describe ways they tried to obtain more recess, using various methods of advocacy.The appendix provides resources indispensable for those convinced that play for all is indeed a social justice issue worthy of advocacy.

G. A. Cohen : Liberty, Justice and Equality
G. A. Cohen was one of the towering political philosophers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.His intellectual career was unusually wide-ranging, and he was celebrated internationally not only for his penetrating ideas about liberty, justice and equality, but also for his method, a highly original and influential combination of analytical philosophy and Marxism. Christine Sypnowich guides readers through the rich body of Cohen’s work.By identifying five paradoxes in his thought, she explores the origins of his interest in analytical philosophy, his engagement with the ideas of right-wing libertarianism, his critique of John Rawls’s work, his late-career turn to conservatism, and the tension between his preoccupation with individual responsibility and the idea of a socialist ethos.Sypnowich acknowledges the strengths of Cohen’s positions as well as their tensions and flaws, and presents him as a thinker of startling insight. This compelling introduction is a go-to resource for students and scholars of modern political philosophy.

What is the biserial correlation coefficient and the phi coefficient and the chi coefficient?
The biserial correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between a continuous variable and a dichotomous variable. It is calculated when one variable is continuous and the other is dichotomous. The phi coefficient is a measure of association between two dichotomous variables. It is calculated using a 2x2 contingency table and ranges from -1 to 1, with 0 indicating no association and 1 indicating a perfect association. The chi coefficient is a measure of association between two dichotomous variables, similar to the phi coefficient. It is also calculated using a 2x2 contingency table and ranges from -1 to 1, with 0 indicating no association and 1 indicating a perfect association.
-
Which correlation coefficient?
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that quantifies the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables. It ranges from -1 to 1, with -1 indicating a perfect negative correlation, 0 indicating no correlation, and 1 indicating a perfect positive correlation. The correlation coefficient is used to determine how closely the two variables are related and can help in making predictions or understanding the nature of the relationship between them.

What is the Lusor coefficient?
The Lusor coefficient is a measure of the ability of a fluid to carry sediment. It is used in the field of sediment transport to quantify the sediment-carrying capacity of a fluid, such as water or air. The coefficient takes into account factors such as the size and density of the sediment particles, as well as the velocity and viscosity of the fluid. A higher Lusor coefficient indicates a greater ability of the fluid to transport sediment.

What is the binomial coefficient?
The binomial coefficient, denoted as ${n \choose k}$, represents the number of ways to choose k elements from a set of n elements without regard to the order of selection. It is calculated using the formula ${n \choose k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$, where n! denotes the factorial of n. The binomial coefficient is commonly used in combinatorics and probability theory to calculate the number of combinations or possibilities in a given scenario.

The Feminist Legislation Project : Rewriting Laws for Gender-Based Justice
In this book, leading law academics along with lawyers, activists and others demonstrate what legislation could look like if its concern was to create justice for women. Each chapter contains a short piece of legislation – proposed in order to address a contemporary legal problem from a feminist perspective.These range across criminal law (sexual offences, Indigenous women’s experiences of criminal law, laws in relation to forced marriage, modern slavery, childcare and sentencing), civil law (aged care and housing rights, regulating the gig economy; surrogacy, gender equity in the construction industry) and constitutional law (human rights legislation, reimagining parliaments where laws are made for the benefit of women).The proposed laws are, moreover, drafted with feedback from a senior parliamentary draftsperson (providing guidance to contributors in a personal capacity), to ensure conformity with legislative rigour, as well as accompanied by an explanation of their reasons and their aims.Although the legislation is Australian-based, the issues raised by each are recognisably global, and are reflected in the legislation of most other nations. This first feminist legislation project will appeal to scholars of feminist legal studies, gender and the law, gender studies and others studying or working in relevant legal areas.

Value and Circumstance : Justice, Consent, Equality, and Law
Four values--justice, consent, equality, and collective decision in the form of law--have profoundly shaped the practice of law in the twentieth century and beyond.Value and Circumstance revisits these political and moral ideals, uncovering the relationship between value and the moment. Each of the four key subjects is explored by returning to first principles in a way that invites reflection on the nature and functions of morality itself.The author claims that there is a deep and ongoing connection (and sometimes a dialogue) between the ideal and the everyday.As such, each of those things can be fully understood, appreciated, and pursued only in partnership with the other, even in cases when that partnership is unspoken and unacknowledged. Moreover, the book argues that sound moral comprehension is immanent in experience and engagement.We learn fully what justice calls for by doing justice; learn consent properly through practising consent; learn just when, in what manner, and in what domains to pursue equality through engaging with the prevailing equalities (both secured and unsecured) of our particular times and places; and learn what law should look like only by deciding what law is to be.In this dynamic, the moral world is steadily enlarged by our ordinary engagement with it.We construct and draw upon the realm of value, to which we are accountable for our flourishing.We cannot live well with reference to the ideal alone.

What is the validity coefficient?
The validity coefficient is a statistical measure that quantifies the relationship between a predictor (such as a test or assessment) and a criterion (such as job performance or academic achievement). It indicates the degree to which the predictor is able to accurately predict the criterion. A higher validity coefficient suggests a stronger relationship between the predictor and the criterion, indicating that the predictor is more effective in predicting the criterion. Validity coefficients are commonly used in the field of psychometrics and are important for evaluating the effectiveness of selection tools and assessments.

What is the multiplication coefficient?
The multiplication coefficient is a number that represents the factor by which a quantity is multiplied. It is used to scale or increase the value of a quantity by a certain amount. For example, if the multiplication coefficient is 2, then the quantity is doubled. The multiplication coefficient is often used in mathematical equations and calculations to represent the relationship between different quantities.

What is a Gini coefficient?
A Gini coefficient is a measure of income inequality within a population. It is calculated based on the distribution of income or wealth among individuals or households in a given country or region. The coefficient ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 representing perfect equality (everyone has the same income) and 1 representing perfect inequality (one person has all the income). A higher Gini coefficient indicates greater income inequality, while a lower coefficient indicates more equal distribution of income.

What is the quadratic temperature coefficient?
The quadratic temperature coefficient is a measure of how a material's resistance changes with temperature. It describes the rate at which the resistance of a material changes as the temperature changes. The coefficient is used to characterize the temperature dependence of a material's resistance in a quadratic manner, meaning the resistance changes with the square of the temperature difference. A positive coefficient indicates that the resistance increases with temperature, while a negative coefficient indicates that the resistance decreases with temperature.
