  “A beautiful blend of folklore, botanical science, acquired wisdom, and spiritual guidance.” —from the foreword by Luisah Teish   “If you want to learn about the reciprocal spiritual connection between humans and trees, you’re going to love this beautiful book.” —Tess Whitehurst, author of The Magic of Trees   Reclaiming traditional botanical and herbal practices has never been more important than it is today. So much of our future depends on our ability to use ancient earth knowledge. In this crucially important book, author Stephanie Rose Bird recounts the story of the sacred wood: how to live in it, learn from it, and derive spiritual enrichment from it, as well as how to preserve and protect it. The Healing Tree offers functional, accessible recipes, remedies, and rituals derived from a variety of African and African American traditions to serve mind, body, soul, and spirit.The Healing Tree celebrates the forest: its powers, spirits, magic, medicine, and mysteries. Bird shares how trees have provided her with personal healing, then allows us to share in that process for our own benefit. Bird’s book follows her own personal journey, but Africa is always her touchstone—the persistent and tenacious ancestral mother wisdom and spiritual foundation that refuses to fade away. The Healing Tree preserves this knowledge, presenting it as relevant and viable and demonstrating in intimate detail how vestiges of that knowledge took root in the Western Hemisphere, in African American culture, and more broadly in American culture in general.   Previously published as A Healing Grove, this updated edition includes a new preface by the author and a source guide for the botanicals discussed within.

  The Body Myth

  The Body Myth will transform the way a generation of women think, not just about one single aspect of being female, but about their lifetime experience of the female body. 
  The female body has been misunderstood for centuries. 
  Declared defective. Pathologised. Controlled. Exploited 
  In The Body Myth, feminist writer and birth activist Milli Hill exposes the stories we’ve been told about being female and replaces them with a new narrative: women are powerful, strong and perfect just as we are. 
  From menstruation to menopause, female biology has been misunderstood, medicalised, sexualised and sold back to us as a problem to fix. The result? A world in which women doubt their own strength, knowledge and instincts — while industries profit from their insecurity. 
  Moving from the mirror to the clinic, from the clitoris to childbirth, Milli reveals how culture, medicine and history have misread women’s lives and why reclaiming a new understanding of female power is long overdue. 
  Bold, eye-opening and deeply empowering, The Body Myth invites women to see themselves differently. Because being female was never the problem. It has always been the source of incredible power. 
  Readers can't get enough of Milli's no-holds-barred writing: 
  'I love your books' J. K. Rowling 
  'One of my very favourite birth writers' Ricki Lake 
  'Milli is a compassionate and passionate writer who puts women squarely at the heart of her endeavors' Emma Barnett

  Hey, there word nerd. Thank you for getting a copy of “Big & Fancy Words That Might Make you Smarter…er: A Vocabulary Builder for the Lexical Deficient Interlocutor Albeit Soon To Be Supercilious Smarty Pants Confabulator” wow… that's a long title. So basically this audiobook has a lot of highfalutin, big shot, 52 cent words that are not used that often in normal conversations, (or are they) once you learn them you will start to hear and see them all the time in books, movies, and when eavesdropping on peoples conversations. This audiobook comes complete with 366 words, for every day of the year (plus one extra word for leap year ) its word type, its definitions, and a funny example sentence that hopefully gives you a little chuckle and helps you to remember that particular word more easily. These words are a great way to build up your vocabulary, study for the SATs, gain skills for word games and crossword puzzles or just be the pompous know-it-all at the pub, (I mean the well-read and articulate conversationalist at a dinner party). Whatever your wish to have a larger knowledge of words is, this is a good place to start; so put on those headphones, throw in the 8 track, cassette, cd, or whatever listening device the kids use these days, and listen to this audiobook in your car, on your cell phone while at work when the boss is not looking, while cleaning the house, or before you go to bed at night, and in time, you too, might just become one of the great dialogists. What’s that? A doctor, a scientist?  Nope, but you will find out soon enough after you hit play. So happy listening and I hope you gain a plenitude of verbal cognizance and that you don’t take umbrage with this recording and start pontificating which leads to being allocated to the nearest hoosegow.

  In the uncertain, changing, global and interconnected world, the 'alpha' or 'hero' leadership style alone is outdated and inadequate. Quieter professionals, who are often overlooked or taken advantage of without recognition, have immense value to contribute to organisations. In this book, Megumi Miki shares her own experience and those of many other quiet professionals who have achieved great success in the business environment. 
  Megumi believes that a shift in our beliefs about leadership will allow talented quiet professionals to view their quiet nature as a strength and to succeed in their own way, rather than seeing it as a disadvantage. She aims to empower quieter professionals and those outside majority groups to fulfil their potential. 
  Quietly Powerful challenges quiet professionals to reframe the story they tell themselves about their leadership potential - and encourages organisations to expand their ideas about what good leadership looks, sounds and feels like.
