Sinopsis

Disability Identity Shift explores the transformation of disability from a medical diagnosis to a potent source of identity and political power. It examines how societal and political forces have reshaped perceptions, language, and self-understanding within the disability community. The book highlights the cultural construction of disability, moving away from purely medical models, which is crucial for dismantling societal barriers. It also examines the politics surrounding disability rights, revealing ongoing struggles for accessibility and inclusion. The book argues that disability identity has evolved into a source of pride, community, and political influence. This evolution is a collective movement challenging ableism and demanding social justice.

 
Beginning with the historical roots of disability identity, the book progresses through cultural factors shaping perceptions, political mobilization efforts, and concludes with a discussion of future trends and challenges. The book uses historical analysis, legal documents, media content analysis, and personal narratives to support its arguments. It offers a unique perspective by focusing on the intersection of culture, politics, and identity, making it valuable for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding disability rights and identity.

    NUMBER 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
    No one is born a leader. But through sheer determination and by confronting life’s challenges, Ant Middleton has come to know the meaning of true leadership. In First Man In, he shares the core lessons he’s learned over the course of his fascinating, exhilarating life. 
    Special forces training is no walk in the park. The rules are strict and they make sure you learn the hard way, pushing you beyond the limits of what is physically possible. There is no mercy. Even when you are bleeding and broken, to admit defeat is failure. 
    To survive the gruelling selection process to become a member of the elite you need toughness, aggression, meticulous attention to detail and unrelenting self-discipline, all traits that make for the best leaders. 
    After 13 years service in the military, with 4 years as a Special Boat Service (SBS) sniper, Ant Middleton is the epitome of what it takes to excel. He served in the SBS, the naval wing of the special forces, the Royal Marines and 9 Parachute Squadron Royal, achieving what is known as the ‘Holy Trinity’ of the UK’s Elite Forces. As a point man in the SBS, Ant was always the first man through the door, the first man into the dark, and the first man in harm’s way. 
    In this fascinating, exhilarating and revealing book, Ant speaks about the highs and gut-wrenching lows of his life – from the thrill of passing Special Forces Selection to dealing with the early death of his father and ending up in prison on leaving the military – and draws valuable lessons that we can all use in our daily lives. 
    Ant Middleton's autobiography, a Sunday Times bestseller, is not just a tale of military strategy and history, but a testament to the power of determination and leadership. His journey from the war in Afghanistan to becoming the bestselling author is a compelling narrative that is as thrilling as it is inspiring. 
    For fans of Ollie Ollerton (Break Point), Mark 'Billy' Billingham (The Hard Way), David Goggins (Never Finished), Jason Fox (Battle Scars), and Bear Grylls (Never Give Up).

    What if it were possible for you to make structural changes to your own brain so it's healthier and less prone to depression, anxiety, grief, worry, and other issues that make you unhappy and keep you stuck?
    In this neuroscience-based, faith-infused, and immensely practical guide, Dr. W. Lee Warren, a practicing neurosurgeon, trauma survivor, and award-winning writer, reveals how to take control of your own mental, emotional, and physical healing by reordering your mind to change your brain-resulting in a radically transformed life that is healthier, happier, and more hopeful.
    Since the development of functional brain imaging in the early 2000's, we now know that thoughts can direct structural changes in the brain as or more effectively than medicines or surgery and can do so more quickly. That means, whether we know it or not, we're all brain surgeons.
    The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery will help you:
    
    - learn and master several types of "self-brain surgery" operations to move from floundering to flourishing
    - heal from trauma, tragedy, and other types of hardship
    - overcome anxiety, depression, loneliness and other emotional and mental health struggles
    - conquer limiting or negative thinking
    - break old habits and create new ones
    - build resilience and wellbeing
    - become an empowered, hopeful person no matter what you're facing
    With the skill of a surgeon, the wounds of a trauma-survivor, the lessons of a scientist, and a hard-won faith that we are wired for happiness here on earth and not just in the hereafter, Dr. Warren walks readers into nothing less than a new way of life.
