Every Fire Needs a Little Help - Jarrod Shanahan

Every Fire Needs a Little Bit of Help collects a decade of reflections on recent US struggles - Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and the George Floyd Rebellion - alongside accounts of the rise of Trumpism, the alt-right, an apocalyptic shift in popular culture, to paint a dense and complex portrait of a decade of protracted social crisis. Jarrod Shanahan reports from the ground. On the streets in 2014, from the depths of the Rikers Island penal complex, inside the alt-right underground and the carnival of Trump rallies, and in the line of fire in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020, among other scenes that Shanahan accessed not as a credentialed observer but an active participant: prisoner, infiltrator, activist. The resulting essays outline the pitfalls and opportunities facing those seeking to reverse the suicidal course of capitalist society and build a liberated world.

The Little Book of Positive Birth Stories - Claire Fulton

A collection of thirty positive birth stories brought together in a beautiful book to offer positivity and confidence to anyone about to give birth''Glorious, uplifting and empowering'' Giovanna FletcherThe idea of giving birth can be daunting - if not outright terrifying. So many of the stories we hear about birth are negative or frightening, but in fact many women and birthing people feel positive and satisfied after their birth, however their births have unfolded. What''s more, reading positive birth stories during pregnancy can help women to feel calm, confident and prepared, and so increase the chances that they''ll have an experience they''ll look back on positively.Collected here by doula and hypnobirthing coach Claire Fulton are thirty true stories from a diverse group of ordinary people, representing a wide array of experiences. There are hospital births and home births; inductions, caesareans and vaginal deliveries. Things don''t always go quite to plan, and there are moments of surprise, frustration and unexpected comedy along the way, but all of the stories deliver comfort, reassurance and a happy ending.
