Growing Yourself Up
To be human is to be in relationships. We can’t survive without them but it’s in relationships that we can so easily get unravelled. Some relationships just seem to do us in. Either we feel like we lose ourselves or feel burnt out from futile efforts to make things right for another. In our relationships we can experience the very best of ourselves and the very worst. The message of Growing Yourself Up is that you can’t separate understanding the individual from understanding relationships. All of life’s relationships are integral to increasing self-awareness and maturity. And it’s not necessarily the comfortable relationships that promote personal growth. In this 2nd edition of th...

Without Apology
An indispensable guide to building a fighting feminist movement for reproductive freedom With an antiabortion majority on the Supreme Court and several states attempting to outlaw abortion altogether, many activists are on the defensive, hoping to hold on to reproductive rights in a few places and cases. This spirited book shows how feminism can start winning again. Jenny Brown uncovers a century of legal abortion in the United States until 1873, recalls women’s experiences in the illegal days, and shows how the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s really won abortion rights. She draws inspiration and lessons from the radicals of Redstockings, the Army of Three, and the Jane Collecti...
Birth Strike
When House Speaker Paul Ryan urged U.S. women to have more children, and Ross Douthat requested “More babies, please,” in a New York Times column, they openly expressed what policymakers have been discussing for decades with greater discretion. Using technical language like “age structure,” “dependency ratio,” and “entitlement crisis,” establishment think tanks are raising the alarm: if U.S. women don’t get busy having more children, we’ll face an aging workforce, slack consumer demand, and a stagnant economy. Feminists generally believe that a prudish religious bloc is responsible for the protracted fight over reproductive freedom in the U.S. and that politicians only at...
The Lucky Ones
Traces how the author lost a leg to bone cancer in childhood before connecting with farm animals and questioning her Southern Baptist upbringing to expose what she has learned about slaughterhouse abuses.
Lord Lightning
An electrifying debut from a fresh and exciting new talent, Lord Lightning introduces author Jenny Brown to lucky historical romance fans—especially those who love the lush, dark, and sensual romantic fiction of Loretta Chase, Anna Campbell, and Mary Balogh. Lord Lightning is a magnificent beginning to Brown’s Lords of the Seventh House Series—in which each of the heroes is a different sign of the Zodiac—mixing passion and seduction with a pinch of the paranormal. In this fabulous Regency Era-set tale, a handsome, cold-hearted rake insists that the beautiful astrologer whose predictions drove away his mistress take her place in his bed.
Confident Parenting
A small book to help parents recover their clarity and confidence. It focusses on how parents can manage themselves effectively rather than the common focus on understanding and managing the child. A timely book for parenting children of all ages.
Negative Capability
Yesterday ended in disaster. Very late at night, I decided to write down everything that had happened; the only way I could think of coping.Following a series of devastating rejections, Michèle Roberts began keeping an account of her life in the hope it might help mend her shattered sense of self. In this intimate and wryly honest journal she reflects on cities and countryside, loss and love, food, friendships, sisterhood, pleasure and memories, her abiding relationship with France and with literature. Over the course of a year a new pattern of being develops, until, finally, she finds a better relationship between inner and outer worlds.
John Brown, Rose and the Midnight Cat
Rose lives with her dog, John Brown. They are happy together, just the two of them. But she reckons without the mysterious midnight cat, and it was John Brown who realised that things were going to change.
Bloody Scotland
Scotland has often been depicted as a land of haunting, misty moors and literary genius. But Scotland has also been a place of brutal crime, terrifying murder, child abuse, and bank robbery. Crime can strike anywhere. From the southern border to the Northern Isles, suspicion and suspense are never far away. Edinburgh, with its reputation for civility and elegance, has often been the scene of savagery; the dark streets of industrial Glasgow and Dundee have protected thieves and muggers, while the villages of coast and countryside hide murderous men and wild women. Stellar contributors to Bloody Scotland include Val McDermid, Christopher Brookmyre, Denise Mina, Peter May, Ann Cleeves, Louise W...
