Book SynopsisThe first biography of the man who launched the self-help phenomenon. Based on contemporary sources, many previously unexamined. Addresses timeless questions - of progress and freedom, success and failure, work and happiness, the individual and the state. A story rich in present-day relevance - topical and controversial.Trade Review"This new biography of Samuel Smiles (1813-1904) is a widely researched, well-written account of a notable British writer and critic, which has been attractively priced by the publishers . . . Hunter certainly manages to convey the sheer dedication and hard work of a writer who did much to legitimise the efforts of the modernising Victorians." --Terry Gourvish, Journal of Transport History "This is a rounded-portrait of the man that has been carefully compiled by mining not only Smiles' publications but also a wide range of contemporary published and archival material . . . It is the most comprehensive and fair-minded study yet of its subject and a book that everyone interested in early Victorian Leeds will want to read." --Malcolm Chase, Yorkshire Archaeological Journal "John Hunter patiently teases out the complexity of Smiles's context and character: the chippy provincial, the literary lion, the prosperous, pompous man who still looks over his shoulder and fears failure. It is a densely rich and rewarding picture." --Trev Broughton, Times Literary Supplement "This excellent new biography . . . John Hunter has done an excellent job in restoring Samuel Smiles's complexities." --Lucy Lethbridge, The Oldie // "People needed reassurances that there was a way up from poverty, and that diligence and virtue, if proffered, would be rewarded. Smiles' books provided these reassurances by the carriage load... He was disgusted by anyone who would amass wealth without helping their neighbour, and extolled wealth only as a means of societal betterment, not as a personal accomplishment." Bob Janis-Dillon, Faith and Freedom // "There are few books in history which have reflected the spirit of their age more faithfully and successfully than Self-Help." --Asa BriggsTable of ContentsIntroduction, Prologue, 1.

Book SynopsisStrengthen relationships, build more resilient communities, and develop a stronger emotional toolbox Explaining power and privilege and the links between individual safety and community safety, Cristien Storm shows readers how to set emotional boundaries that build vibrant social movements and a better world for all. As there have been increases in violence against women, people of color, immigrants, and LGBTQI-identified people, there has been a corresponding demand for individual and community self-defense, boundary setting, and bystander trainings. Boundary setting can be used not just as a means for personal safety but as form of solidarity, resistance, and inspiration. From saying no to a boss who always asks you to work late, to setting a boundary with a loved one, to navigating an uncomfortable situation at the bus stop, Cristien Storm offers a new approach to verbal boundary setting that is accessible for all bodies and identities. Practical in scope, the book includes tools, tips, and strategies from Storm''s decades of experience leading boundary-setting workshops. Grounded in resiliency and trauma-informed theory, Storm pays particular attention to the experiences of women, people of color, immigrants, and LQBTQI-identified people, making this necessary reading for anyone looking to create healthier relationships and build stronger communities.

Book SynopsisAn explosive book that exposes the truth about breast cancer screening.For decades, women have been told that mammograms save lives. Yet many scientists say that this is in fact not true. Conspiracy of Hope reveals how breast cancer screening was introduced in the US before there was any good evidence it made any difference, and an unfounded belief in early detection caught on quickly in Canada and other developed countries. Today the evidence is starkly clear. Screening does more harm than good. Still women, and their doctors, continue to buy into a myth perpetuated by greed, fear, and wishful thinking.Conspiracy of Hope illustrates how a vortex of interests came together to make breast screening standard medical practice and why it's so hard to persuade them they are wrong. The radiologists, the imaging machinery manufacturers, and the pink ribbon charities are all part of that story. It is a tale of back-stabbing and intrigue, of exploiting fear and hope, while distorting and misrepresenting the evidence. Or simply ignoring it.Trade Review"If you've ever wondered why mammography screening has been the target of fierce debate for thirty years running,read this book. Renée Pellerin exposes how the early detection mantra has always been a mix of good intentions,magical thinking, and flim-flam. What it is has never been is full-on science. The balance of evidence on screening mammography weighs heavily toward lesser benefit and more harm than anyone ever wanted to believe. Conspiracy of Hope chronicles how belief born from hope and perpetuated by vested interests can be hard to shake,even when confronted with a wealth of research." -- Gayle Sulik

A welcome addition to any book shelf! -- Karen TreismanThorough, underpinned by extensive researched and well articulated. de Thierry manages to write a short guide about shame, a challenging task but one very well executed. If you're looking to understand shame, how it seeps into our being from a very young age and how 'toxic shame can be like a poison in our subconscious', then this guide is for you. For parents, educators, therapists and social workers, this guide is an essential starting point pulling together all the latest knowledge, research and experience. -- Lisa Cherry, BA (Hons) Sociology, ITEC Dip HM, S.A.C. Dip., Life Coaching and Counselling, Reiki MasterThe Simple Guide to Understanding Shame in Children by Betsy de Thierry is thoughtful insight into how shame has such a pervading hold on us all, sometimes with disastrous consequences. De Thierry argues that feelings of shame are often at the root of unhelpful behaviours and linked to a primeval fear we may be abandoned or rejected by our tribe or society. Unwittingly, though, it remains a thread that runs through traditional parenting and the education system, driving the sensitive child towards shame rather than away from it and cutting off crucial relationships with others. The Simple Guide to Understanding Shame in Children by Betsy de Thierry is an important read for adoptive parents and those working with children who may already be sensitive to shame due to damaging life experiences. This book provides a key to understanding the sometimes bewildering and distressing behaviours by those locked in the grip of shame. -- Jill Turner, Editor, Adoption TodayTable of ContentsPreface. 1.
