GoodReads Review
‘I invite you to be courageous and get comfortable with being
uncomfortable, because any discomfort you feel is temporary and
pales in comparison to what black and brown people often have to
experience on a daily basis. Are you ready? The Good Ally is
an urgent call to arms to become better allies against racism and
provides a thoughtful approach, centering collective healing, to do
so. It is a book for those against persistent racial injustice,
hungry to expand their knowledge and understanding of systemic
racism in Britain and beyond. It uncovers the roots of racism and
its birthplace, anti-Blackness. It is for those who not only want
to be able to better recognise both subtle and overt forms of
racism in action, to examine their powerful role in it, but who
want to know what to do about it. The answer often lies within. The
Good Ally is the answer to ‘what next?’
Health Promotion: The Basics introduces not only the fundamental
theories and key concepts within this important area of health and
social care, but translates these into practice for anyone working
in the field. The chapters are structured around the WHO’s Ottawa
Charter (1986) which underpins the discipline, and cover a
comprehensive range of topics. From developing personal skills to
understanding government policy, the book looks at health promotion
on both an individual and a societal level. It spotlights theories
of behaviour change as well as what impact the environments we live
in have upon our health, and features practical examples for
integrating health promotion with both existing service provision
and through community action initiatives. Including case studies
throughout, and further reading for those wishing to explore
specific topics, this is the perfect introduction to what health
promotion means and how it can improve everyday lives.
Based on the scholarship of a global team of diverse authors, this
wide-ranging handbook surveys the history and current status of
pro-women thought and activism over millennia. The book traces the
complex history of feminism across the globe, presenting its many
identities, its heated debates, its racism, discussion of religious
belief and values, commitment to social change, and the struggles
of women around the world for gender justice. Authors approach past
understandings and today’s evolving sense of what feminism or
womanism or gender justice are from multiple viewpoints. These
perspectives are geographical to highlight commonalities and
differences from region to region or nation to nation; they are
also chronological suggesting change or continuity from the ancient
world to our digital age. Across five parts, authors delve into
topics such as colonialism, empire, the arts, labor activism,
family, and displacement as the means to take the pulse of feminism
from specific vantage points highlighting that there is no single
feminist story but rather multiple portraits of a broad cast of
activists and thinkers. Comprehensive and properly global, this is
the ideal volume for students and scholars of women’s and gender
history, women’s studies, social history, political movements and
feminism.

Clear, concise and empowering self-help about navigating and
healing from narcissistic abuse by Australia's go-to specialist
counsellor The love of a narcissist is fake. It's a soul-destroying
realisation for every victim of narcissistic abuse, but even more
damaging is finding yourself trapped and abused by the person who
claims they love you. Nova Gibson has helped thousands of people in
their struggle to understand, extricate themselves and heal from
toxic relationships and narcissistic abuse. Drawing on the
expertise gained from a decade of working with clients and her
global online community, Nova offers comfort, knowledge and
powerful strategies to help you identify, navigate and survive this
extremely covert, confusing - and dangerous - form of abuse. In
this life-changing book, Nova brings unparalleled insight into the
lived experience of victims and helps identify the behaviours of
narcissistic abusers, such as coercive control and gaslighting,
pathological lying, the love bomb-devalue-discard cycle, hoovering,
smear campaigns and many, many more. She also helps you understand
covert and overt narcissism, and explores in depth the concept of
trauma bonding, which creates a powerful connection with your
abuser and explains why and how you're compelled to stay, even when
the abuse is impossible to ignore. In this deeply compassionate
book, Nova offers hope, support and concise, practical strategies
to break the toxic cycle, extricate and protect yourself ... and
most importantly, heal.

A sly, pulse-pounding thriller where lust and betrayal were just
the beginning... Melanie Hale is a devoted mother to her two
children, a diligent caregiver to her ailing mother-in-law and a
trusted neighbor in their wealthy Louisiana community. Above all,
she's a loving partner to her wonderful husband, Collin. Then there
are the parts of herself that Mel keeps hidden. She's exhausted,
worried and unfulfilled. So much so that one night, after a
writers' group meeting, Mel begins an affair with a successful
local author named Luke. Suddenly she's transformed into a role she
doesn't recognize-a woman who deceives with unseemly ease. A woman
who might be capable of just about anything. When Mel finds Luke's
dead body in his lavish rented house, she realizes just how high
the stakes have become. Not only does she have to keep her affair a
secret in order to preserve her marriage, but she desperately needs
to avoid being implicated in Luke's death. But who would want to
kill him? Who else in her life is keeping secrets? And most
terrifying of all, how far will they-and she-go to keep those
secrets hidden?
