Disability and Political...

Stefanie Reher, Elizabeth Evans

Disability and Political Representation explores how disabled people experience the various stages and aspects of the representation process, drawing upon extensive empirical research and a variety of qualitative and quantitative data. It discusses why increasing the number of disabled politicians matters, not only as a matter of justice and equality but also to better represent the issues and interests of importance to disabled people. 
 
 
 
Evans and Reher identify a variety of ableist barriers that prevent disabled people from fully participating in the political process, from disenfranchisement and inaccessible polling stations to prejudice within parties and a lack of financial support for candidates who require adjustments. The work shows that while the preferences of disabled citizens are currently under-represented in parliament, disabled representatives often draw on their lived experience to advocate for their interests. The concept of experiential representation is developed to help scholars and practitioners better navigate the concept of political representation, specifically as it relates to disability.

Ruby Scott

She sold her business to a billionaire dominatrix for £75 million. The price? One night as her submissive.
Desire’s Truth is an erotic lesbian romance about power, consent, and what it costs to give up control. Victoria Fraser has built an empire on precision and dominance, winning in the boardroom and in the bedroom. Then Suzette Conner-Wakeman, a razor-sharp billionaire with a taste for risk, makes an offer Victoria cannot ignore: seventy-five million pounds for her companies, on one condition that is not up for negotiation. For a single night, Victoria must submit completely.
With her wife Abby’s surprising encouragement, Victoria agrees, and a carefully staged encounter becomes something far more revelatory. Boundaries are planned, safewords are honoured, and aftercare is real, yet the experience exposes truths Victoria has kept locked away. Desire collides with trust, jealousy brushes against devotion, and the marriage at the centre of everything proves stronger than either woman dared to hope.
As Suzette’s motives come into focus and the trio navigate the consequences, Victoria and Abby must decide what their love looks like when old rules no longer fit. This is erotic lesbian romance that prizes character, chemistry, and emotional stakes, where intimacy is explicit, communication is clear, and surrender can be an act of power.For readers who crave erotic lesbian romance with a grown-up edge, Desire’s Truth delivers heat with heart, a marriage tested and deepened, and the intoxicating pull of choosing each other again.

Dad Brain - The New Science of...

Darby Saxbe PhD

A groundbreaking exploration of the science and significance of fatherhood that shows great dads are made, not bornOver the last decade, we’ve learned more about the transformative power of parenthood—biologically, psychologically, and socially—than ever before. But while the experience of motherhood has attracted well-deserved attention, fatherhood has remained overlooked and, often, misunderstood.Now, in Dad Brain, field-leading psychologist Darby Saxbe, PhD, explains how becoming a father changes men, from their bodies and brain architecture to their hormones and sense of purpose. Inspired by her relationship with her dad, Saxbe has studied fathers and families for over twenty years. In her first book, she takes readers behind the scenes of her new research and around the world, from hunter-gatherers in the Congo to contemporary suburban dads, and into her pioneering studies of how parenthood shapes men’s brains and lives.Readers may be surprised to learn that, in addition to altering a dad’s hormones and health (yes, men experience postpartum depression, and “dad bod” is real), parenthood can also benefit men. Dads who spend time with their kids sharpen their paternal instincts and even show more youthful brains in later life. Dads’ unique approach to play makes kids more resilient, and fathers bring new insights to workplaces and build better societies. Ultimately, fatherhood can help men discover a richer, more connected, and more meaningful life.For fans of science-based storytelling that is also irreverent, funny, and personal, Dad Brain offers an illuminating, empowering, and optimistic new understanding of fatherhood that will become a must-read for every parent.
