In the Long Room of Our Hearts:
This book is written as a tribute to Robert Marsh Cooper. Staggered by his death and crippling grief, the author began to write her way back to health. She has said that it was as if Bob was writing with her and she has incorporated his poems and letters so that his words can be heard directly. This book is a gift to those who know what it is to love profoundly, live joyfully, and then to be faced with parting. She tells a poignant story of their life together with both wit and grace. If the reader is learning how to pick up the pieces of a life shattered by loss—this book offers hope.
Crossing the Owl’s Bridge
Crossing the Owl’s Bridge uses the wisdom of worldwide folk tales to demonstrate how to share, ritualize, and transform grief. Each chapter describes psychological tasks as communicated through folk tales, offers stories about others, and provides guidelines for application. The premise is that although we do have to say goodbye to our material relationship, we are also being presented with a chance to say hello to a different type of relationship.

The Sex Factor
Why did the West become so rich? Why is inequality rising? How ‘free’ should markets be? And what does sex have to do with it? In this passionate and skilfully argued book, leading feminist Victoria Bateman shows how we can only understand the burning economic issues of our time if we put sex and gender – ‘the sex factor’ – at the heart of the picture. Spanning the globe and drawing on thousands of years of history, Bateman tells a bold story about how the status and freedom of women are central to our prosperity. Genuine female empowerment requires us not only to recognize the liberating potential of markets and smart government policies but also to challenge the double-standard of many modern feminists when they celebrate the brain while denigrating the body. This iconoclastic book is a devastating exposé of what we have lost from ignoring ‘the sex factor’ and of how reversing this neglect can drive the smart economic policies we need today.
