  Gathering brings together essays by women of colour across the UK writing about their relationships with nature, in a genre long-dominated by male, white, middle-class writers. In redressing this imbalance, this moving collection considers climate justice, neurodiversity, mental health, academia, inherited histories, colonialism, whiteness, music, hiking and so much more.
  These personal, creative, and fierce essays will broaden both conversations and horizons about our living world, encouraging readers to consider their own experience with nature and their place within it.

  Witty, tender and daring essays from the British David Sedaris 
  'A lovely writer: supple, stylish and almost effortlessly witty.' Daily Mail 
  'Made me laugh out loud and then properly cry.’ Jennie Godfrey 
  When it comes to the challenge of being a man, Adam Farrer always seems to find a way to fall short… 
  Broken Biscuits vividly recounts Adam’s struggles to live up to masculine expectations, real or imagined. From the calamity of his first serious relationship to an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, and from the repercussions of his adult circumcision to his doubts about his ability to survive the apocalypse, this candid and personal collection of essays is astonishingly far-reaching and riotously funny. 
  Holding up a mirror to Adam’s own body image, his relationship with his family, his sense of self-worth and the mortifying experience of arriving at a teenage party wearing strawberry-patterned short shorts, this book is about growing up and trying to define yourself as a man but somehow always missing the mark. 
  In this humorous autobiography, Adam Farrer presents a social study of his own life, filled with memoirs of his struggles with gender expectations. Broken Biscuits is a top pick for those seeking a candid, non-fiction exploration of masculinity. 
  For fans of Gary Stevenson (The Trading Game), Terrance Hayes (To Float in the Space Between), Melvyn Bragg (Back in the Day), Jessica Andrews (Saltwater), and Amy Key (Arrangements in Blue).

  Humans produce what the aliens crave. They keep us on factory farms. They pump us full of glorious hormones. 
  It began with a physical exam. They probed and explored my body while making me watch a terrifying video. 
  Then they put me in a holding cell with my new companion—a computer that can read my mind. 
  It doesn’t matter what I say, it knows how to influence and manipulate me. It’s designed to milk me dry. That’s why I’m here—I’m livestock. 
  Day by day, I can feel my body morphing. The need to be milked grows stronger and stronger. I’m no longer a man. 
  I’m a hucow.

  Growing up in the Tennessee hills, Alvin York was equally renowned as a marksman and as a hard-drinking brawler. A dramatic New Year's conversion convinced him that killing was against God's will, and yet this shy, big-boned mountaineer single-handedly dispatched two dozen Germans and captured 132 in the closing days of World War I. He earned the Medal of Honor and a ticker tape parade but refused to cash in on his fame, insisting "Uncle Sam's uniform ain't for sale." 
  This succinct and gripping new account of Sgt. York's remarkable life includes details from exclusive interviews with the sergeant's three surviving children and information drawn from battlefield eyewitness reports and original film studio archives: fresh reminders of the legacy of one of America's great Christian patriots. 
  We learn about life through the lives of others. Their experiences, their trials, their adventures become our schools, our chapels, our playgrounds. Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church through prose as accessible and concise as it is personal and engaging. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. Whether the person is D.L. Moody, Sergeant York, Saint Nicholas, John Bunyan, or William F. Buckley, we are now living in the world that they created and understand both it and ourselves better in the light of their lives. Their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires uniquely illuminate our shared experience.

  Do intrusive thoughts stifle your days? 
  Are you overwhelmed and paralysed by constant doubts? 
  Are anxiety and depression preventing you from living the life you want? 
    
  Anger, fear, sadness and shame are notoriously difficult emotions to manage, because nature has forged their purpose purely to protect us. Sometimes trauma can interfere with your ability to regulate your emotions, amplifying them and generating devastating effects for you and others. 
  It is very difficult to ignore these emotions. Sometimes they get in the way, impede your progress and make an intimate relationship or career advancement impossible. Although we can't control many of the things that happen to us, we can certainly control how we react to those things. 
    
  From this book you will learn:How CBT works.How mental patterns are established and vicious circles are blocked.What emotional levers are, and how to react to them.To eliminate anxiety, depression and panic attacks.How to set goals and begin to use CBT.Basic and advanced techniques of CBT.How to challenge (and beat) negative and automatic thoughts.How to prevent relapses. 
    
  CBT has incredible benefits, and perhaps the most encouraging aspect is that you do not need to spend anything on drugs and therapists, both of which can be an impediment to your progress. 
    
  This book will most likely not be the ‘complete cure’ for all your problems. HOWEVER, I GUARANTEE that if you read and re-read every single chapter carefully, ABSORB all the advice and APPLY the techniques provided by this manual, you will immediately experience a feeling of relief, and you will see significant improvements and progress in every aspect of your life.
