Infinitely diverse in form, place embodies the action settings where social life happens. Often fighting to preserve a sense of group belonging in the process, we design places to reflect our values and interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an eye on our rapidly changing world, \u003cem\u003ePeople, Places, and Belonging\u003c\/em\u003e explores how social realities at every level are affected by the places we collectively forge across various social domains. The book shows how place-related circumstances can promote personal empowerment, civic engagement, and social and environmental justice. \u003cbr\u003eDiscussing places that affect personal and social well-being, including homes, communities, vehicles, and the metaverse, William Marsiglio illustrates how a web of social processes involving claims, attachments, rituals, and transitions (CART) structure our experiences in place. The author argues that we can use decision-making principles to enhance our attachments, encourage supportive rituals, smooth out transitions, and manage claims with less conflict and more social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmed with a heightened place consciousness and ethical principles, \u003cem\u003ePeople, Places, and Belonging\u003c\/em\u003e ultimately posits that we must individually and collectively build places that enrich our lives, celebrate the communal spirit, and foster social equity and ecological justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Marsiglio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487551452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487551452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aevo Utp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"William Marsiglio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46233282019583,"sku":"9781487551452","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40654d8d-67e4-495f-8190-cc0997b499ae.jpg?v=1728992581","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/people-places-and-belonging-william-marsiglio-9781487551452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
