  William Carey watched from the dock as the magnificent sailing ship headed for the English Channel without him. Tears filled his eyes, and deep disappointment filled his heart. What would he tell the missionary society? So much work awaited him half a world away. He must get to India--and soon! William's amazing journey to India would prove to be just the beginning of a missionary quest filled with hardship and heartache as well as tremendous victories. Often referred to as "the father of modern missions," William Carey displayed a single-minded determination to set his face like a flint to the task of bringing the gospel to those lost in darkness. His life of service and sacrifice is a guidpost for Christians of all generations.

  'Groundbreaking . . . [provides] a deep history of the invention of the "normal" mind as one of the most damaging and oppressive tools of capitalism. To read it is to see the world more clearly' Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes 
   
   
   
  Neurodiversity is on the rise. Awareness and diagnoses have exploded in recent years, but we are still missing a wider understanding of how we got here and why. Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this groundbreaking book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism. 
   
   
   
  Exploring the rich histories of the neurodiversity and disability movements, Robert Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine. Neurodivergent liberation is possible—but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism. Empire of Normality is an essential guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds, and deepest selves—and how we can undo them.

  Under the Wig - A Lawyer's...

  'Gripping' – The Times
  How can you defend a man like that?
  Under the Wig: A Lawyer's Stories of Murder, Guilt and Innocence is the riveting true-crime memoir from William Clegg QC (Queen's Counsel – now known as King's Counsel), one of Britain's most experienced criminal defence barristers. Across five decades at the Bar, Clegg has represented more than 100 people accused of murder and stood in courtrooms where a single verdict can mean freedom, life imprisonment, or a devastating miscarriage of justice.
  This is not a fictional legal thriller. These are real cases, told with the pace of a courtroom drama and the insight of an advocate who understands how juries, judges, police and prosecutors think. Step behind the scenes of the English criminal justice system – from the first tense prison visit and solicitor's proof of evidence, to police interviews and PACE safeguards, to cross-examination, jury speeches, verdict day silence, sentencing, and the hard grind of the Court of Appeal.
  Clegg answers the questions people always ask: What happens if a client admits guilt? Why can't a barrister simply refuse to defend a suspected killer? What is the "cab-rank" rule? And why are murder trials different, where issues like self-defence, provocation and diminished responsibility can decide whether the law calls it murder or manslaughter?
  Inside, you'll follow headline-making investigations and unforgettable cases, including:
  
  - The Wimbledon Common murder and the dangers of criminal profiling, media pressure and a collapsed prosecution
  
  - The murder of Samantha Bisset and the chilling consequences of missed links, fingerprints and DNA
  
  - The Chillenden murders and the unnerving power of prison "confessions"
  
  - Convictions built on unusual forensic evidence, from earprints to trace clues
  
  - A murder without a body and the weight of circumstantial evidence
  
  - War crimes prosecutions that reach beyond Britain, from Belarus to the Balkans
  
  - Modern scandals and trials, including bribery and corruption, phone hacking, and high-profile UK cases such as Jill Dando and Joanna Yeates
  
  Along the way you'll be taken inside chambers: clerks and briefs, rivalry and camaraderie, solicitors and counsel, plea advice, trial preparation, and what it really takes to become a QC. You'll see how a defence team builds trust with a frightened defendant, how to test witness statements and expert testimony, and how small details can win (or lose) a case.
  If you enjoy British true crime books, courtroom memoirs, legal biography, crime non-fiction, criminal law, criminology and behind-the-scenes accounts of murder trials, this is essential reading. Buy now and step into the courtroom. Perfect for fans of true crime, law books, and legal thrillers based on real cases.
