Sinossi

There is a loose thread. A flicker in the wiring. A hum in the walls. For one narrator, trapped in the quiet echo of a past relationship, the mundane world begins to unravel.
 
Notes on a Slow Collapse is not a memoir; it is a raw, sensory document of a mind obsessively cataloging the small failures of everyday life—a bent spoon, a stained ceiling, a slow leak in a tire—in an attempt to make sense of a much larger, internal collapse. Told in a fragmented, deeply intimate voice, this collection of essays pulls the reader through the haunted landscape of memory and the disquieting textures of the present.
 
This is a book about the stories we tell ourselves about the broken things: in our homes, in our pasts, and in our own minds. It is an unsettling, unforgettable investigation into the twin engines of aversion and obsession, and what happens when the surfaces of our lives begin to peel away, revealing the rot underneath.

    The Voice of America (VOA) is the oldest and largest US government-funded international media organization. In 2020, Donald Trump nominated Michael Pack, a right-wing documentarian and close friend of Steve Bannon, to lead the US Agency for Global Media—the independent federal agency overseeing US-funded international media. During Pack's seven month tenure, more than thirty whistleblowers filed complaints against him, and a judge ruled that he had infringed journalists' constitutional right to freedom of speech. 
     
     
     
    How did such a major international public service media network become intensely politicized by government allies in such a short time, despite having its editorial independence protected by law? 
     
     
     
    Capturing News, Capturing Democracy puts these events in historical and international context—and develops a new analytical framework for understanding government capture and its connection to broader processes of democratic backsliding. Drawing from in-depth interviews with network managers and journalists, and analysis of private correspondence and internal documents, Kate Wright, Martin Scott, and Mel Bunce analyze how political appointees, White House officials, and right-wing media influenced VOA—changing its reporting of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the 2020 presidential election.

    'An inspirational book about how your life can be turned upside down but you can still land on your feet!’ – Jojo Sutherland, comedian 
     
    'This book is a siren call to anyone who has allowed others to define their direction, ambition and ultimately happiness in life. Siobhan’s message: don’t let them; it’s your life, do it your way.’ – Clare McDonnell, BBC Radio 5 Live presenter 
     
    'As women – and men – in their fifties and sixties read Siobhan’s story, I can envisage them all having “lightbulb moments”. It happened to me when I met Siobhan; she really made me think about what it is I want from this stage of life and the need to go out and get it. Enjoy this great tale of determination, courage and joy. You won’t look back.’ – Kaye Adams, Loose Women presenter 
     
    Approaching retirement and frustrated with her job, Siobhan Daniels made a BIG decision: to start living life on her own terms. Rather than hiding from life’s challenges, she bought a motorhome and drove off to find them. 
     
    Retirement Rebel is Siobhan’s honest and uplifting story of how one woman stepped off the merry-go-round of life, slowed down and started enjoying the journey. Of how she sold up, packed up and hit the roads of the UK with no real plan, embarking on a positive-ageing adventure and hoping to inspire women across the country with her message that retirement could actually be the start of life’s adventures. With no shortage of mishaps and hardships along the way – not least being commanded to ‘stay at home’ during the Covid lockdowns, despite always being at home wherever she was – Siobhan’s story can inspire us all. Her message is that we can make simple lifestyle changes to feel happier and more fulfilled. Because at the end of the day, age shouldn’t be a barrier to having an adventure.
