Summary

33 Days of Passacaglia speaks for a real experience and a real life journey. It’s honest, unfiltered, and wholly personal. All of us have lost something in life, and though we might be worlds apart, we’d agree that hope will always keep us going through another day. The book is like a dear friend that share similar stories with you, that will hug you in the shoulders and reassure you, “I’ve hurt too, but don’t worry, we’ll get through this together.”
 
-Zita Reyninta Sari
 
33 Days of Passacaglia is a collection of 33 poems, separately narrating different memories about not only doubts, anxiety, and fear, but also hope, faith, and bravery. The word "passacaglia", with its Italian and Spanish origins, culturally refers to a dance performed in the streets. This book invites readers from all walks of life to keep on living in gratitude, regardless of any sorrow haunting and their desperate efforts of happiness-hunting.
Available since: 03/13/2019.

    Time to Heal; Tales of a Country Doctor  tells the story of the colourful life of a country doctor towards the end of his career. In turn shocking, sad and funny, they describe a doctor who feels poorly served by the conventional medicine of his time and finds new ways to relieve the suffering of his patients.
    This tale has a twist. Twenty-first-century General Practice and its patients have been betrayed by top-heavy regulation, performance management and a blame culture. Young doctors no longer want to enter General Practice. The author explores why and how pandemics might provide the answers.

    'Powerful, humane and deeply affecting, Lister's wise and truthful writing makes this essential reading for anyone touched, and utterly confused, by grief.' Sali Hughes
    'The must-read memoir'Red
    What does it mean to become a widow at 35?
    
    In her mid-thirties Kat Lister lost her husband to brain cancer. After five years of being a wife and one of being a carer, in love and in and out of hospitals, she became a widow.
    
    In the year following his death Kat seeks refuge in stories of grief and widowhood, but struggles to find a language that can make sense of her experience and the physicality of bereavement. Instead, she turns to the elements - fire, water, earth, air - on her quest to come to terms with her grief, to inhabit her body again, and to find out who she is now.
    The Elements is a story of love, pain, hope and, ultimately, transformation.

    In this essay originally aired in the 1950s, baseball legend Jackie Robinson reflects on fighting imperfection to create a better world in "Free Minds and Hearts at Work", his contribution to NPR's This I Believe series.  
    This I Believe is a National Public Radio program that features Americans, from the famous to the unknown, completing the thought that begins with the series title. The pieces that make up the program compel listeners to re-think not only what and how they have arrived at their own personal beliefs, but also the extent to which they share them with others. 
    Featuring a star-studded list of contributors that includes John McCain, Isabel Allende, and Colin Powell, as well as pieces from the original 1950's series including Helen Keller and Jackie Robinson, the This I Believe book collection also contains essays by a Brooklyn lawyer, a woman who sells yellow pages advertising in Fort Worth, TX and a man who serves on the state of Rhode Island's parole board. The result is a stirring, funny and always provocative trip inside the minds and hearts of a diverse group of Americans whose beliefs, and the incredibly varied ways in which they choose to express them, reveal the American spirit at its best.

    London, England, 1967. An explosion of recreational drugs has resulted in the emergence of an anti-establiment hippy culture, worsening crime rates and an increasingly paranoid tabloid press. A young and ambitious police officer joins the Metropolitan Police Drug Squad determined to right these emerging cultural wrongs. His method? To tackle head on the most high-profile examples of wanton drug abuse. His targets? The celebrities, musicians and dilettantes all exploiting Britain's burgeoning drugs trade, glamourising illegal activity and promoting their untouchable wealth and fame to an impressionable generation. Bent Coppers is the electrifying true story of Norman Pilcher, the most infamous police officer in British law enforcement history. Truth and justice were the tenets of Pilcher's war against crime in the capital, but they soon collapsed in a landslide of scandal, perjury and blazing newspaper headlines. The man who arrested The Beatles and The Rolling Stones would pay the ultimate price for his service. Finally he sets the record straight.
