  Two weeks after my son died, I picked up a pencil. Not because I knew it would help. Because I did not know how else to survive. 
  Writing saved my life. And what I learned in the years that followed, as a counsellor, as a grief specialist, as a holistic therapist and spiritual coach, as a bereaved mother who had to find a way back to life, became this book. 
  Survive Grief and Come Back to Life is not written from a safe distance. It is written from inside the wound. It covers the grieving process, the five stages of grief, complicated grief, and how grief affects the body and the spirit as well as the mind. It includes self-help writing exercises because words have power, and practical guidance on coping with overwhelming emotion, navigating grief in your relationship, dealing with loss of sleep, and honouring your loved one while finding your way back to yourself. 
  It also holds the spiritual truth that grief often reveals: that healing goes deeper than the mind, that love does not end when life does, and that there are guides and graces available to those who are ready to receive them. 
  This book is for the woman who is at least a year into her grief and still cannot find solid ground. It is for the bereaved mother who has tried everything else. It is for the survivor of abuse or trauma who is grieving something that has no funeral. It is for anyone who needs proof that it is possible to come back to life. 
  Not because the loss gets smaller. Because you learn to carry it differently. 
  International bestseller in the UK, USA and Australia. Award-winning author. Grief Guru. Survivor.

  A trailblazing activist’s passionate and incisive look at why she started a movement to ensure that 26 million Americans have access to the IDs they need to escape poverty and live healthy and productive lives 
  American Identity in Crisis weaves together three remarkable stories: the making of an activist in the wake of the 2016 presidential election; the fight against the onerous rules that are being used to keep vulnerable and targeted populations from participating in all facets of American life -from obtaining jobs and housing to going to the polls- and how we can solve a problem that impacts millions of American adults. 
  Kat Calvin ties all of these threads together in profound ways. In American Identity in Crisis, she takes us on a cross-country tour as she and her team uncover one of the biggest secrets in America and learn how to solve it. We meet veterans, the unhoused, and senior citizens, and learn the story of the fierce advocate who insists on recognizing their humanity and seeing them as souls who are resilient and striving for change.  
  Told in a voice that is strong and vulnerable; funny and fearless, confident and self-deprecating, American Identity in Crisis is a defense of human dignity and everyone’s right to have access to the pursuit of happiness.

  'Biggs deftly blends historical research with creative retelling, bringing prison records to full and chilling life.' - The New Statesman
  Cambridge University is renowned worldwide for its academic prowess, but below the surface lurks a murky past. During the nineteenth century, the university became infamous for its dogged determination to cling to ancient laws allowing it to arrest and imprison unchaperoned women found walking the streets of Cambridge after dark.
  Mistakes were made. Violence and legal action followed until finally an Act of Parliament put an end to the university's jurisdiction over the women of Cambridge.

  Policing Pregnant Bodies - From...

  Kathleen M. Crowther

  On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, asserting that the Constitution did not confer the right to abortion. This ruling, in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, was the culmination of a half-century of pro-life activism promoting the idea that fetuses are people and therefore entitled to the rights and protections that the Constitution guarantees. But it was also the product of a much longer history of archaic ideas about the relationship between pregnant people and the fetuses they carry. 
   
  In Policing Pregnant Bodies: From Ancient Greece to Post-Roe America, historian Kathleen M. Crowther discusses the deeply rooted medical and philosophical ideas that continue to reverberate in the politics of women’s health and reproductive autonomy. From the idea that a detectable heartbeat is a sign of moral personhood to why infant and maternal mortality rates in the United States have risen as abortion restrictions have gained strength, this is a historically informed discussion of the politics of women’s reproductive rights. 
   
  Crowther explains why pro-life concern for fetuses has led not just to laws restricting or banning abortion but also to delaying or denying treatment to women for miscarriages as well as police investigations of miscarriages. She details the failure to implement policies that would actually improve the quality of infant life, such as guaranteed access to medical care, healthy food, safe housing, and paid maternity leave. We must understand the historical roots of these archaic ideas in order to critically engage with the current legal and political debates involving fetal life.

  Andrew Johnson - A Life from...

  In historical surveys, Andrew Johnson has been consistently ranked as one of the worst presidents for well over 150 years. But despite his bad reputation, there is much more to the life of Andrew Johnson than these rankings suggest. 
  Andrew Johnson was a man who had long walked a political tightrope. He was a Southern Democrat who opposed the Democrat-dominated Southern states when they seceded from the Union—in fact, he was the only Southern senator to remain loyal to the United States. His strong stance earned him the respect of Republican President Abraham Lincoln—so much so that Lincoln made him his vice president during the 1864 presidential election. This was meant to be a gesture of unity, bridging the divide between parties and between Americans. Little did anyone know (least of all Andrew Johnson himself) that Lincoln would be assassinated just weeks into his second term, making Johnson president. He was thrust into a position he never imagined, forced to lead a nation through its most critical period of transformation. He continued to walk his tightrope every step of the way, but this time, the nation's future hung in the balance.
