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.

What is the difference between equality and equity?
Equality refers to treating everyone the same regardless of their individual needs or circumstances, while equity involves ensuring that everyone has access to the same opportunities and resources based on their specific needs. In other words, equality focuses on sameness, while equity focuses on fairness and justice. Equity recognizes that individuals may require different levels of support in order to achieve the same outcome, whereas equality may not account for these differences.

How is equity calculated?
Equity is calculated by subtracting the total liabilities of a company from its total assets. In other words, equity represents the ownership interest in a company's assets after all debts and obligations have been paid off. It is a measure of the company's net worth and is often used by investors and analysts to assess the financial health and value of a company. Equity can also be calculated for individuals by subtracting their total liabilities (such as mortgages, loans, and credit card debt) from their total assets (such as savings, investments, and property).

What is equity capital?
Equity capital refers to the funds that a company raises by selling shares of ownership in the business. These shares represent ownership in the company and entitle the shareholders to a portion of the company's profits and a say in its decision-making processes. Equity capital is a crucial source of long-term funding for a company and can be raised through the sale of common stock or preferred stock. Unlike debt capital, equity capital does not need to be repaid and does not accrue interest, but it does dilute the ownership stake of existing shareholders.

'Equity type or legal type?'
Equity type refers to the ownership structure of a company, indicating whether it is publicly traded or privately held. Legal type, on the other hand, refers to the legal structure of a business entity, such as a corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. While equity type focuses on ownership, legal type is concerned with the legal rights and responsibilities of the entity. Both equity type and legal type are important considerations when determining the structure and governance of a business.

Critical and Comparative Rhetoric : Unmasking Privilege and Power in Law and Legal Advocacy to Achieve Truth, Justice, and Equity

Viewing legal language through a radical lens, the book sets aside longstanding norms that derive from White and Euro-centric approaches in order to re-situate legal methods as products of new rhetorical models that come from diasporic and non-Western cultures.The book urges readers to re-consider how they think about logic and rhetoric and to consider other ways of building knowledge that can heal the law’s current structures that often perpetuate and reinforce systems of privilege and power.

Urban Biodiversity and Equity : Justice-Centered Conservation in Cities
This advanced textbook moves beyond a basic scientific comprehension of urban ecosystems to understand the essential details of how scientists, policy makers, and practitioners develop solutions to effectively manage urban biodiversity.Such efforts necessitate unravelling the complex components that bolster or constrain biodiversity including human-wildlife interactions, resource availability, climate fluctuations, novel species relationships, and landscape heterogeneity.However, key to an understanding of these processes is also recognizing the tremendous social variation inherent within and across urban areas.The diversity of urban human communities fundamentally shapes how society designs, builds, and manages urban landscapes.This means that urban environmental management unavoidably must account for human social variation.Unfortunately, urban systems have a history and continued legacy of social inequality (e.g., systemic racism and classism) that govern how cities are both built and managed.This novel text not only highlights these connections, but also illustrates the interdisciplinary approaches needed for advancing a new, justice-centred approach to nature conservation. Urban Biodiversity and Equity is suitable for graduate level students and professional researchers from both natural and social science disciplines studying the ecology, conservation, and management of urban environments and their biodiversity.It will also be of relevance and use to a broader audience of urban ecologists, urban planners, and urban wildlife practitioners.

What is the accumulated equity?
The accumulated equity is the total value of an asset after subtracting any liabilities or debts associated with it. It represents the ownership interest or value that an individual or entity has in the asset. Accumulated equity can increase over time as the asset appreciates in value or as debts are paid off, resulting in a higher net worth for the owner. It is an important measure of financial health and can be used to determine the overall value of an investment or property.

How do you calculate equity?
Equity is calculated by subtracting the total liabilities of a company from its total assets. The formula for calculating equity is: Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities. This calculation gives a measure of the ownership interest in a company, representing the residual value of the assets after all debts and liabilities have been paid off. Equity is an important financial metric that is used to assess the financial health and stability of a company.

How can one improve equity?
One can improve equity by addressing systemic barriers and biases that contribute to inequality. This can be achieved through policies and practices that promote equal access to opportunities, resources, and representation for all individuals, regardless of their background. Additionally, promoting diversity and inclusion in all aspects of society can help to create a more equitable environment. It is also important to actively listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized communities in decision-making processes.

How does depreciation affect equity?
Depreciation reduces the value of assets on the balance sheet, which in turn reduces the overall equity of the company. This is because equity is calculated as the difference between a company's assets and liabilities. As the value of assets decreases due to depreciation, the overall equity of the company also decreases. This can impact the financial health of the company and its ability to attract investors or secure financing.
