Lockdowns, Zoom meetings, and reduced physical contact have made us more dependent on the internet than ever before—and now we want to log off. Disconnected is a little book about reclaiming our humanity in our increasingly digitized, monetized world. Our focus on community and real connection has been sent off-course, and we're becoming more aware of how the algorithm manipulates us and how our data has made us a product to be sold. So, where do we go from here, and how can we get back on track? Disconnected examines these topics and offers tangible tips and advice for those of us who might feel a little lost and are looking to find our real-life selves again.

There's no denying the clear connection between overuse of devices--smartphones, computers, and video games--and the growing mental health crisis, especially in our children. Too much screen time has a real, measurable effect on kids' brains, self-esteem, emotional development, and social skills. We aren't controlling our devices anymore--they're controlling us. In Disconnected, psychotherapist and parenting expert Thomas Kersting offers a comprehensive look at how devices have altered the way our children grow up, behave, learn, and connect with their families and friends. Based on the latest studies on the connection between screen time and neuroplasticity, as well as the growing research on acquired ADHD and anxiety, Disconnected presents a better way to move forward. Kersting shares indispensable advice for parents on setting boundaries and engaging in concentration and mindfulness exercises. If you want to reclaim your family and reconnect with your kids, this hard-hitting yet hopeful book is the place to start.

Updated to include a new chapter about the influence of social media and the Internet—the 20th anniversary edition of Bowling Alone remains a seminal work of social analysis, and its examination of what happened to our sense of community remains more relevant than ever in today’s fractured America. Twenty years, ago, Robert D. Putnam made a seemingly simple observation: once we bowled in leagues, usually after work; but no longer. This seemingly small phenomenon symbolized a significant social change that became the basis of the acclaimed bestseller, Bowling Alone, which The Washington Post called “a very important book” and Putnam, “the de Tocqueville of our generation.” Bowling Alone surveyed in detail Americans’ changing behavior over the decades, showing how we had become increasingly disconnected from family, friends, neighbors, and social structures, whether it’s with the PTA, church, clubs, political parties, or bowling leagues. In the revised edition of his classic work, Putnam shows how our shrinking access to the “social capital” that is the reward of communal activity and community sharing still poses a serious threat to our civic and personal health, and how these consequences have a new resonance for our divided country today. He includes critical new material on the pervasive influence of social media and the internet, which has introduced previously unthinkable opportunities for social connection—as well as unprecedented levels of alienation and isolation. At the time of its publication, Putnam’s then-groundbreaking work showed how social bonds are the most powerful predictor of life satisfaction, and how the loss of social capital is felt in critical ways, acting as a strong predictor of crime rates and other measures of neighborhood quality of life, and affecting our health in other ways. While the ways in which we connect, or become disconnected, have changed over the decades, his central argument remains as powerful and urgent as ever: mending our frayed social capital is key to preserving the very fabric of our society.

A debut collection of poetry from Alex Rose that explains the different phases of loneliness. To be temporarily disconnected means to be lost, and where do lost minds go? Our minds roam and end up in the darkest corner of the brain, or try very hard to find light glowing somewhere. That light can be dreams, fairytales, memories, people. When a computer screen goes blank it can appear broken but it is only temporarily disconnected. Perhaps the motor just needed a break to escape reality and will turn on if you just try again. If you feel like you are broken these poems are here to tell you that you are not. It is okay to feel sad and it is important to know those emotions will not last forever. Temporarily Disconnected explores raw emotions of sadness, nostalgia, infatuation and hope. It encourages readers to find the strength to keep moving forward. You are not alone

The book explores the disjuncture between urban governance and local democratic politics. It brings together academic debates on democracy, power, informality and citizenship to look at how governance is experienced, contested and enforced in Hout Bay, Cape Town. Qualitative research conducted over an extended period of time is used to explore a series of contests that range from housing and service provision through to smuggling, bringing together elements of development and decision-making that are often treated separately within a coherent understanding of urban politics and rule. This book explores local democracy and governance from a citizen-point of view, bringing together empirical work and theoretical insights to think about how different modes of governance conflict and coexist within the contemporary (Southern) city.
