Edith Twyford was once a world-famous children's author, but now her only legacy is the rumoured existence of the Twyford Code: a series of clues hidden in her books leading to... what? No one knows - but that hasn't stopped the speculation. Steve Smith can trace nearly all the bad things in his life back to Edith Twyford. As a child he found one of her books, covered in strange symbols. He showed it to his teacher, Miss Iles, who was convinced it held the key to the code. Within weeks Miss Iles had disappeared, and Steve has no idea if she is dead or alive - or if she was right. Now he's determined to find out. But the Twyford Code hides secrets some would do anything to possess, and Steve isn't the only one on its trail. The race is on to solve the mystery of the century. Could you get there first?

Book SynopsisThe histories of the trans and sex worker rights movements are closely intertwined and, particularly in the UK, it's rare to find a carceral feminist who isn't also a rabid transphobe. What does it mean to write as part of a community that is under attack? Where, in fiction, is the line between exploring harmful ideology and humanising it? In Morbid Obsessions Alison Rumfitt and Frankie Miren explore these questions and talk about the crossover in the ways they chose to approach them in their novels Tell Me I'm Worthless (Cipher Press) and The Service (Influx Press), covering the pornographic interest in sex workers and trans women, online violence, moral panic, creative representation, and paying tribute to sex worker and trans activism through fiction. Frank, funny, and hopeful, and featuring two new stories, an introduction by writer and historian Morgan M. Page, and an interview with Natalia Santana Mendes, Morbid Obsessions is an urgent and vital conversation about making art as collective struggle. All proceeds (after production costs) from the sale of this book will be donated to Babeworld, a collective which seeks to create a more representative art world, and will go into direct grants to marginalised artists.Trade Review"Smart, lyrical and uncompromising on prostitution, British transphobia and so much else - Miren and Rumfitt are urgent comtemporary voices who can capture stifling airlessness and obsession like few else" - Molly Smith, co-author of Revolting Prostitutes

Book Synopsis How can professionals build constructive relationships with families where the parents dispute professional allegations of serious child abuse? How can meaningful safety for children be created in these families? How can professionals work together constructively in such cases? Situations where parents refute child abuse allegations made against them are often deemed to be impossible or untreatable by statutory and treatment professionals. These cases can consume enormous amounts of professional time and energy and frequently become bogged down by ongoing professional-family mistrust and dispute. Often, the decision to close such cases comes about not because the children are safe, but rather because the professionalsrun out of ideas, time and energy.Working with 'Denied' Child Abuse presents an innovative, safety-focused, partnership-based, model called Resolutions, which provides an alternative approach for responding rigourously and creatively to such caTable of ContentsIntroduction: Imagining Denial Differently Chapter One: Thinking about DenialChapter Two: Principles that Inform the Resolutions Approach Chapter Three: The Resolutions Model in OverviewChapter Four: Before the BeginningChapter Five: Engaging the Parents and Network: From Multiple Stories through to the Story for the ChildrenChapter Six: The Words and Pictures: Engaging and Involving the ChildrenChapter Seven: Broadening and Deepening the Network's Involvement; Extended Family, Friends and Workmates Chapter Eight: Family Safety PlanChapter Nine: Working in the Hypothetical: The Similar but Different FamilyChapter Ten: Finalizing the Family Safety Plan and Concluding the TreatmentChapter Eleven: Case example; a divorced couple in a situation of denied sexual abuseChapter Twelve: Implementing the Approach Chapter Thirteen: Conclusion

Book SynopsisOffers an inquiry into the evolving landscape of Los Angeles. This book offers a pointed look beneath the surface in order to see, and engage with, the city on its own terms.Trade Review"In this brief but engaging book, the author chronicles his wanderings through the streets and his conversations with friends, entrepreneurs, and officials, and he makes it clear that he has read every book and seen every movie on his subject. Those who know the city will have the advantage, but Ulin casts his net widely, so most readers will enjoy his observations of Los Angeles in literary and popular art as well as his thoughtful personal views." Kirkus "In Sidewalking, Los Angeles Times book critic David L. Ulin wanders L.A.-along Wilshire, around Bunker Hill, through the Grove-and as he does, he ponders the city's fading past and emerging future. A self-described 'reluctant Angeleno,' Ulin, who moved here from New York in 1991, brings a sharp eye, a good pair of legs, and a sensitive thoughtfulness to the subject of urban sprawl. Ulin's musings are immediately relevant, covering everything from the Metro Purple Line extension to Rick Caruso's proposed downtown trolley to Councilman Jose Huizar's Bringing Back Broadway campaign." Los Angeles Magazine "The moments of true beauty in this shortest of books are precisely when Ulin reminds us that the everyday texture of Los Angeles ... already functions like a quantum field out of which distant influences, disorienting urban rebirths and half-remembered cinematic cameos are constantly emerging. It is a city of 'seismic existentialism,' he wonderfully suggests, whose ground is shaken not just by earthquakes but by the seemingly endless eruption of alternative urban forms, often successfully breaking through." -- Geoff Manaugh Los Angeles Times "Walking in Los Angeles is not an oxymoron. In this revealing meditation on what it means to pound the pavement in the City of Automobiles, book critic David L. Ulin observes a Los Angeles that many of us didn't even knew existed... Thoughtful and poetic, Ulin's small volume proves there is more to the City of Angels than just beaches, movie stars and abundant sunshine." -- June Sawyers Chicago Tribune "In a series of fascinating, at times impressionistic, disquisitions [Ulin] unlocks some of Los Angeles's "hieroglyphic" secrets. Step right up then for Ulin's tour of Los Angeles, a diffuse city full of 'nonlandmark landmarks.' ... The pleasure of Sidewalking is watching Ulin contextualize each place by considering the way its history is preserved, effaced, or buried under the surface." -- Matt Seidel Los Angeles Review of Books "David Ulin's Sidewalking opens LA up for all of us-locals or not. A quietly stirring book, this should be on your must-read list... I loved it and can't wait to read it again and again." -- Anna March The Rumpus "In Sidewalking, David Ulin brilliantly reflects on the city as experienced by someone with a need to walk, a need to savor streetscapes, registering signage, vistas, vegetation, fellow citizens. And while Ulin walks, he thinks: processing traces of history, architectural styles, street plans, demographics, changes. A longtime L.A. Times book critic, Ulin, intimately familiar with the best that's ever been written about this sprawling, layered city, also artfully folds in the perceptions of others. Memories, observations, bygone L.A., 21st-century L.A.-Ulin's superlative tapestry makes this the latest of great literary takes on the City of Angels."

Book SynopsisNo single discipline can provide a full account of why health care is the way it is. Introducing an accessible overview of health services and drawing on medicine, sociology, economics, history and epidemiology, this book provides a series of conceptual frameworks which help to clarify some of the complexity that confronts the inexperienced observer. Helping to determine what influences and shapes health services, it also examines some of the key processes involved in providing healthcare, considering three levels: individual patients, health care organizations such as hospitals, and regional or national institutions such as governments.This second edition has been updated to include recent developments and further examples and activities from low, middle and high income countries. The book examines: â how medical knowledge, staff, patients and finance shape health services â what factors influence utilization of health services â Table of ContentsSection 1: Introduction1 A systems approach to health services2 Formal and lay careSection 2: Inputs to health care3 Diseases and medical knowledge4 Medical paradigms5 Health care professionals6 Funding health careSection 3: Processes of health care7 Need, demand and use8 Users of health care9 Paying providersSection 4: Outcomes and quality of health care10 Quality of health services11 Defining quality12 Quality assessment13 Quality improvement

Book SynopsisIn these essays, interviews and speeches, Angela Y. Davis illuminates connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world. Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality and prison abolitionism for today's struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles. She highlights connections and analyses today's struggles against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine. Facing a world of injustice, Davis challenges us to build the movement for human liberation.Trade Review"Angela Davis new book made me think of what Dear Nelson Mandela kept reminding us, that we must be willing to embrace that long walk to freedom. Understanding what it takes to really be free, to have no fear, is the first and most important step one has to make before undertaking this journey. Angela is the living proof that this arduous challenge can also be an exhilarating and beautiful one."—Archbishop Desmond Tutu "Whether you've grown up with the courage and conscience of Angela Davis, or are discovering her for the first time, Freedom Is a Constant Struggle is a small book that will be a huge help in daily life and action, from exposing the "prison industrial complex" that she named long ago to understanding that leaders are only leaders if they empower others. She herself exposes facts and makes connections, but also leads in the most important way–by example."—Gloria Steinem "This is vintage Angela: insightful, curious, observant, and brilliant, asking and answering questions about events in this new century that look surprisingly similar to the last century."—Mumia Abu-Jamal "Here is someone worthy of the Ancestors who delivered her. Angela Davis has stood her ground on every issue important to the health of our people and the planet. It is impossible to read her words or hear her voice and not be moved to comprehension and gratitude for our incredible luck in having her with us."—Alice Walker "Angela Davis once again offers us an incisive, urgent, and comprehensive understanding of systematic racism, the grounds for intersectional analysis and solidarity, and the importance of working together as equals to unmask and depose systems of injustice. This wide-ranging and brilliant set of essays includes a trenchant analysis of police violence against people of color, of the systematic incarceration of black people in America, the grounds of Palestinian solidarity for the Left, the affirmation of transgender inclusion, and the necessity of opposing the G4S corporation and its high-profit empire dedicated to the institutionalization of racism in the name of security. These essays take us back in history to the founders of revolutionary and anti-racist struggle, but they also take us toward the possibility of ongoing intersectional solidarity and struggle. Angela Davis gathers in her lucid words our luminous history and the most promising future of freedom."—Judith Butler "She has eyes in the back of our head. With her we can survive and resist."—John Berger "In this latest text of her magisterial corpus, Angela Davis puts forward her brilliant analyses and resilient witness here and abroad. In a clear and concise manner, she embodies and enacts “intersectionality” – a structural intellectual and political response to the dynamics of violence, White Supremacy, patriarchy, state power, capitalist markets, and imperial policies."—Dr. Cornel West, from the ForewordTable of ContentsTable of Contents Introduction by Frank Barat [Forthcoming] Foreword by Alice Walker [Forthcoming] Chapter 1: [Need title] An interview with Frank Barat Chapter 2: [Need Title] September 2014 interview with Angela in Brussels Chapter 3: [Need Title] December 2014 interview with Angela in Paris Chapter 4: On Palestine, G4S and the Prison-Industrial Complex Angela Davis speech at SOAS in December 2013 Chapter 5: Closures and Continuities Angela Davis speech at Birkbeck University in December 2013 Chapter 6: Policing the Crisis Today Angela Davis speech at Goldsmith College Chapter 7: From Michael Brown to Assata Shakur, America’s Racist State Persists Angela Davis article in The Guardian Chapter 8: Feminism and Abolition Angela Davis speech at University of Chicago Chapter 9: Political Activism and Protest from the 1960s to the Age of Obama Angela Davis Speech [Still needs to be transcribed] Acknowledgements Notes
