Overcoming Everyday Racism
This enlightening and reflective guide studies the psychological impact of racism and discrimination on BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) people and offers steps to improve wellbeing. It includes definitions of race, racism and other commonly used terms, such as microaggressions, and evaluates the effect of definitions used to describe BAME people. Each chapter of the book focusses on one category of wellbeing - self-acceptance, personal growth, purpose in life, positive relations with others, environmental mastery, autonomy - and includes case examples, spaces for reflection and practical, creative exercises. For use as a tool within counselling and therapeutic settings as well as a self-help tool by individuals, each category provides a framework for thinking about how to manage everyday racism, live with more resilience, and thrive.
Making Sense of Microaggressions
This innovative book connects us to the subject of microaggressions by leading us through both text and design. Each section conveys the mood and tone of microaggressions providing a powerful visual experience of these subtle and invisible forms of oppression. Their oppressive nature is often 'hidden' in plain sight and ultimately leaves the victim feeling vulnerable and exposed. This book aims to uncover many of these common racial microaggressions. Through her writing, Susan highlights the substantial impact that these microaggressions can have on people who are confronted with them every day. Whereas Barry seeks to unmask the prejudice and discrimination that exists behind each of these c...

The Brewer's Women
The Eagle Brewery, founded in 1847, becomes the metaphor, a beer barrel, out of which the Koehler familys story is poured. Family histories, like unfinished crazy quilts with strings hanging have no well-ordered patterns. My ancestors began to emerge as real people - both gifted and flawed - when I allowed myself the gift of wonder. Twin muses of memory and imagination worked together to make it several love stories.

The Language of God
Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?
