"The word "love" is most often defined as a noun, yet...we would all love to better if we used it as a verb," writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provacative and intensely personel, the renowned scholar, cultural critic, and feminist skewers our view of love as romance. In its place she offers a proactive new ethic for a people and a society bereft with lovelessness.

As bell hooks uses her incisive mind and razor-sharp pen to explode th question "What is love?" her answers strike at both the mind and heart. In thirteen concise chapters, hooks examines her own search for emotional connection and society's failure to provide a model for learning to love. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for the individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the "100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life." All About Love is a powerful affirmation of just how profoundly she can.

"We can't help you until you accept the condition, and accept you will never be the person you were before". (Specialist CFS Team on NHS). This is what Jan was told when she relapsed with M.E (myalgic encephalomyelitis), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Yet, it couldn't be true: she had recovered on her own before and then learnt how to stay healthy. Have you been told to accept chronic fatigue syndrome or Long Covid? Be assured you CAN recover from CFS, and from symptoms in Long COVID, associated with your autonomic system going out of balance. You can break the cycle, reset your autonomic system and thrive again. As a former lecturer in Health and Social Care, a therapist and an experienced practitioner running her own Reset to Thrive Recovery Programme, Jan shares her expertise about recovery, and shows you how to stay healthy. Having retired as a practitioner and trainer, she is on a mission to show everyone how they can recover. Find out why there is so much confusion and limiting beliefs in the world of M.E/ chronic fatigue syndrome or Long Covid fatigue, and how they impact on recovery. Understand the science behind the symptoms, and learn how to work with the body to rebalance the autonomic system, enabling your body to recover and thrive again. You will be guided through step by step, at your own pace, and offered techniques to speed up recovery, before being shown what it takes to stay healthy and robust, no matter what challenges life brings. There is no magic, just the magic of the body. The answer lies within ourselves and within the covers of this book.

Coping with moving to a new school can be a difficult and challenging time for any young person but it can be even more problematic if you are on the autistic spectrum. This book tells the story of Luke Fiddes a remarkable young man and talented musician. It explains how Luke became aware of his different and special status and how he learnt to manage this. It also contains a self help manual for all young people which is designed to help deal with the struggles of adolescence using personalised music. This heartwarming, funny and frank account of Luke's journey gives a remarkable insight into some of the challenges but also the surprising benefits of living with Asperger syndrome. "I love my autism because I love music." Luke Fiddes
