Unparented: The Hidden Engine of Social Decay is a bold, piercing examination of how the quiet collapse of the family unit has fueled the emotional, psychological, and cultural crises of our time. Beneath the surface of modern comfort and progress lies an unseen epidemic, one of emotional disconnection, absent fathers, overburdened mothers, and children growing up without true guidance or belonging. This book exposes that hidden truth with clarity, empathy, and urgency. In a world that prizes independence yet breeds loneliness, Unparented uncovers how the erosion of parental presence has become the silent engine driving social decay. It traces the subtle but devastating shift from homes once rooted in emotional leadership, structure, and love to a generation navigating life without anchors. Through insight and reflection, it reveals how these fractures ripple outward, creating adults who seek comfort in control, careers, or digital escape, yet remain emotionally orphaned in a hyperconnected world. Each chapter delves into a crucial aspect of this unraveling: the vanishing father, the exhausted mother, the entitled child, and the manchild who never learned to grow up. It examines the myths of progress and co, parenting, the career, as, refuge trap, and the generational echoes that ensure dysfunction keeps repeating. Yet Unparented is not a story of blame, it is a call to understanding and restoration. It challenges readers to see how the absence of true parenting, emotional consistency, and shared purpose has not only weakened families but also destabilized entire communities and cultures. Written in a deeply human and conversational tone, this book helps readers connect personal experiences with broader societal patterns. It invites reflection, not judgment, and offers a path forward: rebuilding the family as the heart of emotional stability and moral strength. Unparented makes a compelling case that healing society begins with healing the home, by restoring the vital bonds between fathers, mothers, and children, and redefining love not as indulgence, but as responsibility and presence. Whether you are a parent, educator, counselor, or simply someone seeking to understand todays growing sense of emptiness, Unparented offers profound insight into why our world feels unmoored, and how we can restore what has been lost. It is both a mirror and a map: reflecting the truth of our collective disconnection while pointing toward a new foundation built on empathy, accountability, and emotional leadership. In an age of chaos, confusion, and comfort without connection, Unparented dares to ask the question that matters most: What happens to a society that forgets how to parent itself?

Leonore Mau traveled for almost two decades with the writer Hubert Fichte to research Afrodiasporic religions. Her photographs remained largely unpublished. They present us with challenges: What does it mean to look at them todayafter debates about representation and the treatment of artistic ethnographic photographs? As a case study, A Year and A Day focuses on Maus pictures taken in Haiti in the 1970s during the Duvalier dictatorship. The title refers to the cosmology of Vodou, according to which souls live under water for a year and a day before rebirth. Artists and scientists delve deeper into the historical background and shed light on Haiti in the 1970s, the relationship between Germany and Haiti, the photography of rituals, and the ethics of taking picture and looking.Leonore Mau (19162013) began taking photographs in Hamburg in the 1950s. From the 1960s she lived and traveled with the writer Hubert Fichte (19351986).

The provenance of artworks is a burning issue in current scholarship and politics. Transpose provenance into architecture and it reveals new and surprising dimensions in the social, material and cultural lives of buildings and architectural artefacts, reframing questions of migration, movement and circulation. Provenance in architecture illuminates the intricate trajectories of fundamentally composite objects from their complex origins to their uncertain destinations. This dictionary examines architectural provenance across 101 key concepts from "Acquisition" to "Will". The entries provide new ways of writing architectural history, highlighting how architecture moves, is destroyed, survives and is transformed.Uwe Fleckner is a professor in art history at the University of Hamburg and conducts provenance research as a director of the Research Centre of "Degenerate Art."Mari Lending is a professor in architectural history and theory at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design and directs the international research project "Provenance Projected: Architecture Past and Future in the Era of Circularity."
