The Truth
Natalie Symons was Princess Diana's personal hairdresser, Marie Sutton was the trusted girlfriend, Judy Wade was a royal reporter and confidant of the Princess. Now the girls are telling their stories.
The Truth
There was not one Diana, Princess of Wales, but two. The public Diana was polished and glamorous, towering in her spiky heels, a dazzling icon. The other Diana could not have been more different from Britain's "Queen of Style." Behind palace doors, she was happy to wander casually dressed and barefoot. In The Truth, friends and confidants of the late Princess take us inside her Kensington Palace apartment, recalling a woman who scrubbed her own bath, worried about her weight, and urged her sons to improve their manners, just like any other mother. They talk about her secret plans to wed a man who shared her vision to help the sick and suffering, her violent row with Dodi Fayed just before they died, the final insult from Camilla's friends, and the real reason she went on a last mission to Australia.
Diana
When Princess Diana died in August 1997, the nation mourned for a woman they felt they had come to know intimately; having witnessed the quiet, blushing Lady Diana Spencer transform into an elegant, stylish ambassador who tirelessly campaigned for the causes in which she believed. With the announcement of her untimely death came an unprecedented wave of collective grieving. In this revealing book, royal expert Judy Wade uncovers the woman behind the public's princess, speaking to some of Diana's closest friends and confidantes to reveal the truth about her. They journey inside her Kensington Palace apartment and describe how she cleaned her own bath and nagged her sons to improve their manne...
When London Calls
For thousands of young Australians the tearful dockside farewell was a rite of passage as they boarded ships bound for London. For some the journey was an extended holiday, but for many actors, painters, musicians, writers and journalists, leaving Australia seemed to be the only path to personal and professional fulfilment. This book, first published in 2000, is a collective biography of those people who found themselves categorised as expatriates - people such as Leo McKern, Dame Joan Sutherland, Barry Tuckwell, Don Banks, Phillip Knightley, John Pilger, Peter Porter, Richard Neville, Jill Neville and 'megastars' Barry Humphries, Germaine Greer and Clive James. The book tells of choices they made about career and country, yet it is also a cultural history that traces shifts in the complex relationship between Australia and Britain, as the supposed colonial backwater began to develop its own cultural identity.
A Woman's Europe
These stories highlight women discovering peculiarly European pleasures, like the romantic realities of a gondolier's life on a ride through the Venice canals, the meaning behind rituals like picking olives or learning flamenco, and more.

From Victims to Victors
Young Angela wondered if she would live to see tomorrow as her abuser held her head under the water at the pond in the field behind her home. She used to feel safe herefishing, chasing frogs, or just walking with her dog. Victoria was very afraid of her stepfather. Every time he told her to get in the car with him, she knew she would have to endure another incident of sexual abuse. She tried numerous times to tell her mother, but her mother was afraid to deal with the situation, choosing to live in denial and allowing Victoria to live in pain and anger. In From Victims to Victors, author Mark Jones shares these and other stories of abuse from victims to whom he has ministered. He tells these stories of sexual, emotional, verbal, physical, and spousal abuse to call attention to this rampant problem in todays society. Jones points the way to healing and restoration through biblical principles. He makes it clear that a move of Gods hand can deliver victims from the power of Satan and restore them to powerful, victorious living. http://www.book2look.com/vBook.aspx?id=KrvRCUvRo5

Contemplative Democracy
In Contemplative Democracy, Shannon L. Mariotti explores how contemplative practices represent a form of world-building that is valuable for meaningful democracy and an overlooked form of ordinary political theory. Reimagining the work of political theory, employing feminist approaches, and with a focus on educational spaces and democratic modes of pedagogy, Mariotti examines contemplative practices as spaces where ordinary people do the work of democracy, creating new political imaginaries, finding new selves, and founding new states of being. Further, this book reveals how the larger body politic may be reshaped by the everyday work people do in their own bodies.
