  UPROAR! - Satire Scandal and...

  **A brilliant new history of Georgian Britain through the eyes of the artists who immortalised it, by one of the UK's most exciting young historians**
  
  'Alice Loxton is the star of her generation ... the next big thing in history' Dan Snow
  
  London, 1772: a young artist called Thomas Rowlandson is making his way through the grimy backstreets of the capital, on his way to begin his studies at the Royal Academy Schools. Within a few years, James Gillray and Isaac Cruikshank would join him in Piccadilly, turning satire into an artform, taking on the British establishment, and forever changing the way we view power.
  
  Set against a backdrop of royal madness, political intrigue, the birth of modern celebrity, French revolution, American independence and the Napoleonic Wars, UPROAR! follows the satirists as they lampoon those in power, from the Prince Regent to Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. Their prints and illustrations deconstruct the political and social landscape with surreal and razor-sharp wit, as the three men vie with each other to create the most iconic images of the day.
  UPROAR! fizzes with energy on every page. Alice Loxton writes with verve and energy, never failing to convince in her thesis that Gillray and his gang profoundly altered British humour, setting the stage for everything from Gilbert and Sullivan to Private Eye and Spitting Image today. This is a book that will cause readers to reappraise everything they think they know about genteel Georgian London, and see it for what it was - a time of UPROAR!

  The Secret of Death and Way to...

  What happens after death? Some say that we continue to live in a different form; while others say that death is the complete extinction of our existence. Since the beginning of human thought, we have asked ourselves three simple questions: Who am I? Where have I come from? Where am I going? 
  This book, based on the teachings of Yoga and Vedanta, seeks to answer these questions about death and life after death. The answer to death is Knowledge of the Self--realization of our true identity, our divine existence, our spiritual nature--and to not be afraid of the unknown. 
  Chapter 1: Is Death the End? by Swami Nikhilananda 
  Chapter 2: Fear of Death by Swami Adiswarananda 
  Chapter 3: Sufferings of Life by Swami Adiswarananda 
  "Life on earth is meant for our soul to journey on towards its freedom. The soul’s three basic desires are immortality, unrestricted awareness, and unbounded joy. These are attained only when the soul discovers its true identity, the all-embracing Self. In search of its identity, the soul changes bodies and places, and finally, knowing the limitations of all pleasures and realizing that everything finite is shadowed by death, it practices detachment and desirelessness and realizes its immortal Self. Immortality is the return of the prodigal son to his all-loving father. It is the return of the reflection of the sun to the sun. It is the river of individual consciousness meeting the infinite ocean of Pure Consciousness. It is the realization that we are like leaves of a tree and that our true identity is the tree. Immortality is our separative existence joining the infinite existence of absolute freedom... The journey to this final freedom is a solitary one; alone a person is born, alone he suffers, and alone he dies. By realizing his true Self, he becomes united with all beings and things and attains to final freedom. Only then comes the end of all sorrow, all fear, all anxiety."

  A written companion and workbook for listeners seeking to reclaim their bodies as home in healing from sexual trauma. 
   
   
   
  Body rites as a holistic healing journey, anchored in the practice of decolonizing healing and reclaiming body sovereignty, reaches back into indigenous roots and land-based healing. It centers remembering as a means of survival. 
   
   
   
  This workbook is the first of its kind: a resource of rituals divided into four healing journeys for Black women, femmes, and nonbinary survivors of sexual assault. The experiential workbook moves beyond prescriptive self-help models by providing a gentle guide and liaison to explore the impact of sexual trauma on the mind, body, heart, and spirit. It is an invitation to heal holistically, drawing upon psychophysiology, lived body wisdom, trauma-informed embodiment practices, kinship and ancestral connections, and African spiritual practices. Most urgently, this book is a series of intimate conversations with your "self"; and remembrance that healing lives at the core of your intuition.
