    ‘I was so busy keeping him happy I didn’t notice how long it had been since I’d seen my friends. I seemed to apologise for everything. I was constantly tense, holding my breath, trying to predict his mood. Slowly my world became smaller, darker and lonelier.’ 
    Coercive Control is an insidious fog. The first ‘red flags’ are so small you don’t notice them: a simple remark about how to do something ‘the right way’ or a suggestion about how you should dress. He cares about where you are and who you are with. 
    We all want the perfect relationship, but for the courageous authors in Coerced to Courageous, their soulmate was more like checkmate.  
    The first ‘red flags’ of Coercive Control are so subtle you barely notice them. Eventually, he has driven away your friends and family, is making all the decisions and controlling the finances, and you are trapped. These brave, resilient, brilliant women share the tools that helped them escape and rebuild their lives. They want to encourage and empower you to break the chains of coercive control and create the life you deserve. 
    Broken to Brilliant is an Australian not-for-profit charity where domestic violence survivors mentor other survivors to rebuild successful lives using the power of story.  
    When we saw the impact on people’s lives of our first three books, the changes made, the hope in their hearts, the joy and gratitude for their new lives, we had to continue to share stories of hope, healing & recovery. There had to be a fourth book. 
    We applaud each of our authors for sharing their raw, vulnerable & courageous stories. Our hope is that these books will provide you with the tools to take back your power so you can rebuild your life the way you choose. Each step forward is a courageous move toward your new life filled with peace, happiness & achievement.

    In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.

    INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ MESSAGE TO THE WORLD 
    This is our chance to listen to a message from people closely connected to the Earth. The industrial world has put their very existence at stake. Stop and listen to their world! -- Mickey Hart, drummer with the Grateful Dead and author of Drumming at the Edge of Magic Available for the first time in a digital format, the “Indigenous Peoples’ Message To The World” documents the First World Conference of Indigenous Peoples, a collaboration of numerous organizations, individuals and indigenous peoples from around the globe. The lectures and cultural music presentations that made up the conferences were recorded live in the Amazon 
    jungle in Brazil in 1992 and delivers a timeless and deeply relevant message to us all. The extraordinary partnership captured here was spearheaded by Marcos Terena, the founder of the United Indigenous Nations, and supported by the Tribal Link Foundation and Land is Life, organizations that actively promote and protect the rights of indigenous peoples. 
    Not only did this program receive a starred review in Publishers Weekly (PW), which called it a who of ritual tribal music and ceremony", but PW was inspired to create a new award – The pioneering Hybrid of the Month Award – specifically for this moving title.
