Because Japan
Because Japan 日本ですから, is a truly unabashed account of the less publicised side of life in Tokyo for a 'foreigner'. The book offers a witty, vivid and honest insight into the daily life of a British Expat over the course of two years. The author narrates stories taken from his "Journal of Firsts" which depict many new events including his first struggle, first mental challenge, and first exciting moment he faced living in this strange and fascinating new world. Through the use of newly learned Japanese phrases whilst travelling the country, themes of soul-searching, overcoming mental health obstacles, sexual orientation, racial discrimination, and culture shock are explored with honesty and candour. With the addition of a train-based mini series of hilarious encounters, Because Japan 日本ですから offers a behind the scenes insight into the 'real' Japan.
Re/Invention
From Patricia Leavy, a leader in arts-based research, this is the first comprehensive guide to what social fiction is and how to write it. In an engaging, personal tone, Leavy explores the unique contribution that creative writing--such as novels, series, and short stories--can make to addressing qualitative research questions. In-depth discussions of narrative models (such as the three-act structure) and elements (such as plot, metaphor, dialogue) are accompanied by excerpts from Leavy's published fiction, reflections on the writing process, and technical suggestions. The book offers evaluation criteria for social fiction as well as practical publishing advice. Instructive features include "tip bubbles" with additional writing hints, end-of-chapter "Skill-Building" and "Rethink Your Research" exercises, and an appendix with suggested readings.

Nile Wilson
The down-to-earth Olympic medalist tells the story of the pressures and mental health struggles behind his successful gymnastic career. Nile Wilson is known to many as the gymnast who won a bronze medal for Great Britain at the 2016 Rio Olympics, and England’s most successful gymnast ever at a Commonwealth Games following his five medals in 2018. Yet, Nile is so much more than just an athlete. A YouTuber with over a million subscribers, a social media influencer, a successful businessman and entrepreneur, Nile is also an advocate for mental health awareness, and has been very open about his own personal struggles. In this book, Nile gives an unprecedented look into his true battle to be fit and ready for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics—throughout the Games and the aftermath. The public perception of Nile Wilson is focused on his humor, openness, and how down-to-earth he is. This book reveals the struggles behind the smiles, from the brutal reality of performing at an elite sporting level, to the mental health battles Nile has had to fight—and continues to fight—every day.
