Mind Like Mine is a stigma-busting collection of biographies of
some of the great people from history who have lived with mental
health conditions. Did you know Charles Darwin experienced anxiety
and Florence Nightingale lived with PTSD? From Michelangelo to
Deepika Padukone, Ada Lovelace to Freddie Flintoff, a great many
successful people with brilliant minds and talents have lived or
are living with mental health disorders. The biographies in this
book show that you can't always tell what a person is going
through, and that mental health conditions can and do impact people
from all walks of life. The aim of this book is to help remove some
of the stigma around mental health, discuss different mental health
conditions, what they mean and how they are treated; and ultimately
to show that mental health disorders do not have to hold anyone
back from achieving their dreams. The figures featured are from a
range of diverse backgrounds and disciplines across science,
literature, art, music, sport, politics and popular culture.
Additional feature pages will explain and explore key mental health
conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive
compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and eating disorders.
This book is about the anatomy of neoliberalism and education from
a Marxist perspective. It is the dialectical materialism of
neoliberal ideas, examining the material conditions of how these
ideas and practices emerged, and under what conditions. Each of
these elements is related to the other and can only be properly
understood as part and parcel of the whole system of capitalism,
which links them together. This book investigates neoliberalism's
political, cultural, and financial tools. It goes deep in the
forces who have supported neoliberalism and how it became ""common
sense"". It explores the imperialist outcomes and the social
devastation it created. It then goes to see how these ideas and
policies have been implemented in education. In short, it is the
materialist conception of the history of the American empire. It
then uses the analytic tools developed through this investigation
to re-read the neoliberal educational reforms.
