It was also the first book to contain clear, actionable strategies for palliative care and hospice physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, registered nurses, social workers, counselors, and chaplains to use in transforming care of all patients so that it's truly LGBTQIA-inclusive. Anchored in the evidence, extensively referenced, and written in plain language, the second edition of this award-winning book contains an expanded scope (incorporating intersex and asexual individuals more fully throughout), two new chapters, updated information, and new examples drawn from the author's personal experience as well as from the experiences of other lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-conforming, queer, questioning, intersex, and/or asexual (LGBTQIA ) patients, families, and hospice and palliative care professionals"--

Fast facts about LGBTQ+ care for nurses / by Traister, Tyler,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."I wrote this book to provide nurses from all practice settings and experience levels the knowledge and understanding of how to care for the LGBTQ population. The first of its kind, this book offers the nurse concise and pragmatic information to deliver culturally competent and inclusive care. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other gender minorities (LGBTQ) face unique challenges and barriers to accessing healthcare, resulting in poor health outcomes. Studies have consistently shown the greater risk for poor health outcomes due to fear or mistrust of healthcare providers, such as nurses, because of past discrimination and refusal of care and acceptance, which have created systemic health disparities. Nursing textbooks and education predominantly focus on cisgender heteronormative populations - leaving the nurse without the knowledge and information needed to care for this diverse population"--

The transformative potential of LGBTQ+ children's picture books / by Miller, Jennifer,Ph. D.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In The Transformative Potential of LGBTQ Children's Picture Books, Jennifer Miller identifies an archive of over 150 English-language children's picture books that explicitly represent LGBTQ identities, expressions, and issues. This archive is then analyzed to explore the evolution of LGBTQ characters and content from the 1970s to the present. Miller describes dominant tropes that emerge in the field to analyze historical shifts in representational practices, which she suggests parallel larger sociocultural shifts in the visibility of LGBTQ identities. Additionally, Miller considers material constraints and possibilities affecting the production, distribution, and consumption of LGBTQ children's picture books from the 1970s to the present. This foundational work defines the field of LGBTQ children's picture books thoroughly, yet accessibly. In addition to laying the groundwork for further research, The Transformative Potential of LGBTQ Children's Picture Books presents a reading lens, critical optimism, used to analyze the transformative potential of LGBTQ children's picture books. Many texts remain attached to heteronormative family forms and raced and classed models of success. However, by considering what these books put into the world, as well as problematic aspects of the world reproduced within them, Miller argues that LGBTQ children's picture books are an essential world-making project and seek to usher in a transformed world as well as a significant historical archive that reflects material and representational shifts in dominant and subcultural understandings of gender and sexuality"--

Love songs : a hidden history / by Gioia, Ted.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-284) and index.Birds do it! -- Procreative music -- Sappho and Confucius -- Love in ancient Rome -- Debauched maidens and lustful harlots -- The North African and Middle Eastern connection -- The troubadours -- The triumph of romance -- A love supreme -- Profane love -- Divas and deviancy -- Folk songs and love songs -- Love songs for the mass market -- The African connection (again) -- Crooners, torch songs and bobbysoxers -- Rock 'n' roll and the summer of love -- As nasty as they wanna be.Uncovers the unexplored history of the love song, from the fertility rites of ancient cultures to the sexualized YouTube videos of the present day, and discusses such topics as censorship, the legacy of love songs, and why it is a dominant form of modern musical expression."The love song is timeless. From its beginnings, it has been shaped by bohemians and renegades, slaves and oppressed minorities, prostitutes, immigrants and other excluded groups. But what do we really know about the origins of these intimate expressions of the heart? And how have our changing perceptions about topics such as sexuality and gender roles changed our attitudes towards these songs? In Love Songs: The Hidden History, Ted Gioia uncovers the unexplored story of the love song for the first time. Drawing on two decades of research, Gioia presents the full range of love songs, from the fertility rites of ancient cultures to the sexualized YouTube videos of the present day. The book traces the battles over each new insurgency in the music of love--whether spurred by wandering scholars of medieval days or by four lads from Liverpool in more recent times. In these pages, Gioia reveals that the tenderest music has, in different eras, driven many of the most heated cultural conflicts, and how the humble love song has played a key role in expanding the sphere of individualism and personal autonomy in societies around the world. Gioia forefronts the conflicts, controversies, and the battles over censorship and suppression spurred by such music, revealing the outsiders and marginalized groups that have played a decisive role in shaping our songs of romance and courtship, and the ways their innovations have led to reprisals and strife. And he describes the surprising paths by which the love song has triumphed over these obstacles, and emerged as the dominant form of musical expression in modern society."--Publisher's description.
