Ukraine’s remarkable aptitude for resilience and grassroots
activism, as witnessed since February 2022, is closely connected to
a process that began with the Euromaidan Revolution in 2013-14,
when over two million Ukrainians took to the streets in defense of
democracy and human rights. In the months directly following the
Revolution, Russia illegally occupied Ukraine’s Crimean
Peninsula, and began funneling both arms and troops into the
eastern region of Donbas to fuel a conflict between the Ukrainian
army and a small group of radical separatists. Since that time,
Ukrainians have been working diligently to build the society in
which they have wanted to live, all while fighting Russia and its
proxies in Europe’s forgotten war. Ukrainian New Drama After the
Euromaidan Revolution brings together key works from the
country’s impressively generative post-Revolutionary period, many
of them published here in English for the first time. As well as
established voices from the European theatre repertoire such as
Natalka Vorozhbyt and Maksym Kurochkin, this collection also
features iconic plays from Ukraine’s post-Maidan generation of
playwrights Natalka Blok, Andrii Bondarenko, Anastsiia Kosodii,
Lena Lagushonkova, Olha Matsiupa, and Kateryna Penkova. Considered
together, these plays reflect the diversity of voices in Ukraine as
a country seeking to comprehend both the personal and political
consequences of the Revolution, the war, and all that has come
since. A key element to the remarkable culture of defiance and
resistance that Ukrainians created in these years has been new
approaches to arts activism, particularly in the performing arts.
In the eight years between Euromaidan and the full-scale invasion,
Ukraine witnessed an incredible boom in socially engaged
performance practice. Playwriting in particular has become an
essential genre through which artists have sought to bear witness
to the repercussions of the war and to create spaces for the
reclaiming of historical and cultural narratives; Ukrainian New
Drama After the Euromaidan Revolution captures this spirit and
published this necessary and vital work in English for the very
first time.

Collapsing from the grief of not being loved, twenty years old,
Clover Greene was committed to psychiatry. Just as after any horror
to horrible to be real, after four electric shocks, Greene
developed hysterical amnesia, vaguely remembering being locked up
by psychiatry. Psychiatry, America's Holocaust: The Twelve Steps
Curing Mental Illness, Developing the Nonviolent Adult Mind
chronicles author Clover Greene's journey back from the precipice
of suicidal and homicidal terror. It is a collection of Greene's
thoughts, original poetry, and helpful information designed to help
the reader to better understand the ups and downs of recovering
from mental illness. Over a period of time, Greene was recommitted
through psychiatry and forced to take drugs. Unable to escape to
the outside, Greene's suppressed feelings of confusion periodically
built up and exploded into suicidal and homicidal drug rages. Real
doctors in real hospitals saved Greene's life from suicide attempts
and the life-threatening physical damage caused by psychiatric
drugs. After thirty-one years under a psychiatrist's care, Greene
was incredibly still alive, saved by a twelvestep program and the
support of others in the same position.
In this memoir, Greene shares the harrowing account of escaping
psychiatry alive and being reborn in the spirit of love.
The student workbook is designed to help you retain key chapter

**LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE** 'Desperately needed' -
Isabella Tree 'I doubt any more important book will published this
year' - Stephen Fry In this indispensable follow up to his
acclaimed The End of the Line: How Overfishing is Changing the
World, Charles Clover chronicles how determined individuals are
proving that the crisis in our oceans can be reversed, with
benefits for both local communities and entire ecosystems.
Rewilding the Sea celebrates what happens when we step aside and
let nature repair the damage: whether it is the overfishing of
bluefin tuna across the Atlantic, the destruction of coral gardens
by dredgers in Lyme Bay or the restoration of oysters on the East
Coast of America. The latest scientific research shows that
trawling and dredging create more CO2 than the aviation industry
and damage vast areas of our continental shelves, stopping them
soaking up carbon. We need to fish in different ways, where we fish
at all. We can store carbon and have more fish by stepping aside
more often and trusting nature. Essential and revelatory, Rewilding
the Sea propels us to rethink our relationship with nature and
reveals that saving our oceans is easier than we think.
