  Rise Anyway - 20 Stories Of...

  Most people don't quit because they're lazy. 
  They quit because the doubt gets louder than the belief. 
  Rise Anyway is a collection of real stories about people who kept going when stopping would've made more sense. These aren't celebrity success stories or overnight wins. These are everyday people who faced setbacks, uncertainty, and moments where quitting felt justified, but they chose to move forward anyway. 
  Each story stands on its own, which means you don't have to read this book in order. You can start wherever you feel pulled. Some stories will feel familiar. Others might challenge how you see your own journey. All of them point back to one truth: belief isn't something you wait for, it's something you build through action. 
  This book is for anyone who has felt stuck, overlooked, or unsure if their effort still matters. It's for the person who's still showing up even when the results aren't clear. If you've ever questioned whether you should keep going, Rise Anyway is a reminder that progress still counts, even when the path forward isn't fully visible.

  Aung San Suu Kyi: Politician...

  POLITICIAN • PRISONER • PARENT 
  A portrait of one of the most charismatic, but unknown, world leaders 
  Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and crusader for democracy 
  in Myanmar, is once again behind bars. Her resounding victory at the polls, and re-election to office as civilian head of state, were overturned by the February 2021 military coup – a move with ruinous consequences. 
  Aung San Suu Kyi has been here before. The first half of her political career was spent under house arrest. But this time she has been disappeared into prison in Naypyidaw, following an array of charges clearly calculated to keep her out of politics and out of sight for the rest of her life. This time she is caught in a zero-sum game. 
  Once deified by the international community for her advocacy of democracy and human rights, yet later vilified for her denial of the Burmese military’s genocidal campaign against the Rohingya, Aung San Suu Kyi’s image survives largely untarnished within Myanmar. Her supporters refer to her as ‘Amay Suu’ (Mother Suu). Heir to the political and spiritual legacy of her father, General Aung San, independence hero and martyr, she remains the lodestar of nationalist aspirations, and matriarch for a nation in distress. 
  This book tracks Aung San Suu Kyi’s transformation from daughter of a national hero to materfamilias of Myanmar, placing her firmly within the context of the Burmese Buddhist notions of nationhood and motherhood and explaining her continuing role as the figurehead of the nation’s struggles. The result is a unique portrait of a living legend, rendered by a compatriot and contemporary, the novelist Wendy Law-Yone. 
  POLITICIAN 
  Decades spent spearheading the fight for democracy in Myanmar – following her father Aung San’s legacy as founder of the modern Burmese nation. 
  PRISONER 
  Having already spent half 
  her political career under house arrest, in December 2022, Aung San Suu Kyi 
  was sentenced to 33 years 
  in prison. 
  PARENT 
  To her exiled family and 
  a nation. 
  Wendy Law-Yone's non-fiction biography of Aung San Suu Kyi offers a deep dive into the history of Southeast Asia. It's a top choice for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the 21st century's political climate. 
  For fans of Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Peter Frankopan (The First Crusade), Katja Hoyer (Beyond the Wall), Rory Stewart (The Places In Between), and Oliver Bullough (The Last Man in Russia).

  16 Weeks & Everything After - A...

  Updated 2024 to include significant additional material from 2018 to 2024.
  At the 16 week foetal stage, Paul Whymark's brain development was frozen as a consequence of the drug, Thalidomide. His journey is one of considerable self discovery, but also reveals greater societal insights. "16 Weeks and Everything After..."uncovers the remarkable fact that over the last 50-60 years the establishment has failed to genuinely independently review Thalidomide, and as a consequence, harms on developing life continue to have the potential to occur into the future. Worse is that the insidious nature of many of the unacknowledged harms of Thalidomide are still not related to the drug. Hence such consequences are unrecognised and are at odds with official and textbook accounts even over 50 years on. Therefore, as well as appealing to general readers and other professionals, this book urgently needs to be on every medical personnel's (or trainee personnel's) required reading list.
  "16 Weeks and Everything After…" manages to communicate the minutia of subtle but all-important detail to uncover a quite different picture to that has been reported thus far. It has been written in an uplifting and heart-warming way, with the attitude of turning negatives into positives, but without losing sight of the underlying issues. The author has sought to stand up for his late mother, who like all mothers of children harmed by drugs consumed during pregnancy, carry the resulting additional challenges. This has sustained Paul's drive through the years of both official impasse and life's ups and downs. The book comprises a set of micro-narratives, but join together to reveal a significant personal journey in addition to a much larger and wider untold picture.
