Summary

In "Prisoners of Poverty Abroad," Helen Campbell delivers a poignant exploration of the social injustices faced by the impoverished classes in the United States, with a particular focus on the plight of women and children. Written in a compelling narrative style that blends investigative journalism with empathetic storytelling, the book immerses readers in the grim realities of life among the destitute. Campbell's work emerges during the late 19th century, a time marked by industrialization and stark disparities between wealth and poverty, placing her critique within a broader context of social reform movements and the quest for economic justice. Helen Campbell was a pioneering social reformer, journalist, and suffragist whose own experiences and convictions fueled her commitment to advocating for the marginalized. Her background as a factory worker and her involvement in social causes, including women's rights and labor reform, deeply informed her perspective in writing this book. Campbell's keen observation of the socio-economic landscape of her time provides a rich backdrop that highlights the urgent need for societal change. "Prisoners of Poverty Abroad" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the intersections of poverty, gender, and social justice in historical contexts. It offers valuable insights into the struggles that continue to resonate today, making it not only a historical document but also a call to action for modern readers to reflect on the ongoing challenges in our society.

    If you’ve ever wondered why people keep talking about Palestine, or the point of keeping up with a long-drawn conflict in the Middle East and what difference you could possibly make, this book is for you. Political analyst and podcaster Walid Jumblatt Abdullah takes on questions that Singaporeans have often raised about Palestine, laying out answers that clarify and inform. 
     
    Walid examines myths (“Could Gaza Have Been Singapore?”) and sheds light on the double standards of Western powers, to whom human rights seem to matter, except for where Palestine is concerned. Explaining how the Palestinians have been systematically dehumanised for decades, the book highlights how they continue to exist nevertheless, their very existence an act of resistance. 
     
    Why Palestine? is an illuminating starting point for newcomers to the issue, and a passionate primer that seasoned activists will welcome for capturing the heart and hope of a long-disenfranchised people and those who support them.

    Miscarriage is a deeply personal and often painful experience that affects millions of women and families worldwide. Despite its prevalence, it remains a topic shrouded in silence, leaving many to navigate their grief alone. This book aims to provide comfort, understanding, and hope to those who have experienced miscarriage, offering guidance through the emotional and physical healing process.  
      
    For many, the loss of a pregnancy brings a complex mix of emotions—grief, guilt, anger, and even isolation. Society often struggles to acknowledge miscarriage as a significant loss, leading many women to feel as though they must grieve in silence. Friends and family may offer well-meaning but unhelpful advice, leaving those affected feeling misunderstood. It is important to recognize that miscarriage is not just a medical event but an emotional and psychological one as well. The pain of losing a child, even in the early stages of pregnancy, is real and valid.  
      
    While no two experiences are exactly alike, one common thread among those who have suffered miscarriage is the search for meaning and healing. Some find solace in talking about their experience, while others prefer quiet reflection. Many turn to faith, support groups, or counseling to help them process their grief. Regardless of the path taken, healing is possible, and hope can be found even in the darkest moments.

    The world is changing, it's getting increasingly more difficult to be a young person and to raise young people. Without a plan to navigate the change, you'll end up in ice-cold water you thought was warm. We get so attached to the identity of being a student, or an athlete, or the fact that we'll never be young again that we end up losing sight of what we can sustain long-term.  
    If you're in school now in your 20s, it's likely you're performing at less than 50% of your maximum potential. This book will help you pump those numbers up. 
    The Four Year Fantasy explores how College and University life can shape young adults in irreversible ways (GOOD and BAD). It outlines the skewed notions of what "the experience" is, and is meant to wake people up before they waste their "Superhuman years." This book offers insights on how to seize opportunities for personal growth and outlines the author's journey to success which includes breakthrough realizations that came from navigating the world with the social proof of a University student. 
    It's a student's guide to success, and a parent's guide to raising strong, smart, independent, and purpose-driven people. 
    For many readers, this will be the last three-hour lecture you’ll ever sit through...
