  Publishers Weekly starred review 
   
   
   
  "Marshaling fine-grained historical detail and scrupulous analysis, Hardwick persuades." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
   
   
  As a Black autistic pastor and disability scholar, Lamar Hardwick lives at the intersection of disability, race, and religion. Tied to this reality, he heeded the call to write How Ableism Fuels Racism to help Christian communities engage in critical conversations about race by addressing issues of ableism. 
   
   
   
  Hardwick believes that ableism—the idea that certain bodies are better than others—and the disability discrimination fueled by this perspective are the root causes of racial bias and injustice in American culture and in the church. Here, he uses historical records, biblical interpretation, and disability studies to examine how ableism in America led to the creation of images, idols, and institutions that perpetuate both disability and racial discrimination. 
   
   
   
  He then goes a step further, calling the church into action to address the deep-seated issues of ableism that started it all and offering practical steps to help listeners dismantle ableism and racism both in attitude and practice.

  Empire's Son Empire's Orphan -...

  In literary circles of the mid-twentieth century, father and son, Ikbal and Idries Shah, spread seductive accounts of a mystical Middle East. Pitching themselves as the authentic voice of the Muslim world, they penned travelogues and exotic potboilers alongside weighty tomes on Islam and politics. Above all, father and son told Western readers what they wanted to hear: audacious yarns of eastern adventure and harmless Sufi mystics—myths that, as the century wore on and the Taliban seized power, became increasingly detached from reality. 
   
   
   
  This book follows the Shahs from their origins in colonial India to literary London, wartime Oxford, and counterculture California via the Levant, the League of Nations, and Latin America. Nile Green unravels the conspiracies and pseudonyms, fantastical pasts and self-aggrandizing anecdotes, high stakes and bold schemes that for nearly a century painted the defining portrait of Afghanistan. Ikbal and Idries convinced poets, spies, orientalists, diplomats, occultists, hippies, and even a prime minister that they held the key to understanding the Islamic world. From George Orwell directing Muslim propaganda to Robert Graves translating a fake manuscript of Omar Khayyam and Doris Lessing supporting jihad, Green tells the fascinating tale of how the book world was beguiled by the dream of an Afghan Shangri-La that never existed.

  Counsellors and psychotherapists are faced with ever-increasing complexity in their work with adolescents. In this book, Bronagh Starrs offers an understanding of developmental and therapeutic process from a relational-phenomenological Gestalt perspective. 
   
   
   
  Starrs shows how the adolescent's presenting symptom issues are statements of compromised life space integrity and demonstrates therapeutic sensibility to the adolescent's first-person experience. Throughout the book, the clinician is offered extensive relational and creative strategies to support integrity repair for the adolescent. The developmental impact of various life space contexts are discussed, including parental separation, complex family configuration, grief, adoption, and emerging sexual orientation and gender experience. Therapeutic responses to common creative adjustments are explored including anxiety, school refusal, depression, self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, alcohol and drug use, and sexual trauma. 
   
   
   
  Adolescent Psychotherapy will help counsellors and psychotherapists to develop deeper levels of competency in their work as adolescent psychotherapists, as they navigate the complex and fascinating experience of therapy with teenagers. This exceptional contribution is suitable for both experienced practitioners and students of counselling and psychotherapy.

  Early Cosmological Thinkers -...

  This book consists of 2 titles, which are: 
  Heraclitus: Heraclitus of Ephesus, a pre-Socratic philosopher who lived in the 6th century BCE, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of Western thought. Known for his cryptic sayings and profound insights into the nature of reality, Heraclitus' ideas have had a lasting influence on philosophy, science, and the arts. His philosophy, often centered around the concept of change, emphasized that everything in existence is in a constant state of flux. This view is encapsulated in one of his most famous quotes: "You cannot step into the same river twice." For Heraclitus, the essence of life and the universe lies in this unceasing transformation, where stability and change are not opposing forces but interconnected aspects of existence. 
  Pythagoras: As a philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras is perhaps best known for the Pythagorean Theorem, a fundamental principle in geometry that has influenced the study of mathematics for over two millennia. However, his impact extends far beyond the confines of geometry. Pythagoras is often credited with transforming numbers from mere tools of calculation into a system that mirrors the structure and harmony of the universe. For him, numbers were not just abstract symbols but the very essence of reality, governing everything from the motions of the stars to the patterns in music. His belief in the mystical and metaphysical significance of numbers laid the groundwork for later developments in philosophy, particularly the idea that the world is not a chaotic, random place but a cosmos governed by rational and harmonious principles.
