A haunting and beautifully written novel about a Confederate soldier whose own personal war follows him into the afterlife—until one fateful day when his encounters with a modern-day couple change everything. A ghost in his deserted childhood home in Virginia, Tom Smiley can’t forget the bloody war and its meaningless losses, nor can he shed his revulsion for his role in the Confederate defense of slavery. But when a young couple moves in and makes his home their own in the early twenty-first century, trouble erupts—and Tom is forced not only to face his own terrible secret but also to come to grips with his family’s hidden wartime history. He finds an unexpected ally in the house’s new owner, Phoebe Hunter, whose discoveries will have momentous consequences for them both.Readers who enjoy immersive historical fiction books featuring vivid depictions of the Civil War and its lingering impacts—or historical and literary ghost fiction like Lincoln in the Bardo and The Haunting of Hill House—as well as those interested in thought-provoking explorations of slavery, racism, morality, and humanity, will find much to appreciate in The Last of What I Am.

An increasing number of children are struggling to attend school. The conventional approach prioritises a rapid return to their setting. For some children, this simply doesn’t work. They are stuck, not attending school but not learning out of school either. What happens then - and what can we do about it? This illustrated guide lifts the lid on the experiences of children and families who are struggling within the school system and explores how we can work with these young people to maximise their chances of a positive and fulfilled life.The book encourages professionals to take a new perspective and to consider what can be done differently. It explores the ways in which difficulties with school are understood by children, parents, and professionals, and shows how things can go wrong (and right), using real-life examples from a range of settings. Chapters delve into common interventions and the impact these can have in practice, before introducing alternative approaches which have the child at the centre. The voices of young people are foregrounded throughout, shedding light on their struggles with attendance - including when placements have completely broken down – and, importantly, showing how they have gone onto success. Original illustrations are included to bring these ideas to life.Placing authentic experiences at the core, this book offers a valuable insight into the lives of children and families when school has gone wrong and will leave you with new ideas as to how to turn things around. What Can We Do When School’s Not Working? is essential reading for professionals working with children who are struggling with school attendance, from SENCOs and educational support workers to educational psychologists, senior leadership teams, and local authorities.

FROM THE AUTHOR OF UNMASKING AUTISM''This book articulates a feeling that has lurked in the dark corners of so many minds and brings it into the light where it can be faced, embraced, understood, and ultimately, healed. .'' -Celeste Headlee, journalist and bestselling authorHow many times a day do you feel shame? Struggling to pay the bills; buying a top made in a sweatshop; reading the news and feeling - yet again - a powerlessness to the point of apathy?In this bold and transformative manifesto, social psychologist and author of Unmasking Autism Dr Devon Price takes an in-depth look at shame and the role it plays in our lives. Price identifies something called ''Systemic Shame'': the powerful self-message that says I am to blame for my circumstances. He explores how it traps us into fighting unwinnable battles and judging others for their failures, and how it especially affects those who are already vulnerable because they''re carrying shame from a difficult past or a complicated sense of self-esteem. By unpacking the concept of ''Systemic Shame'', this radically positive book shows that there is no such thing as becoming ''good enough'' to be deserving of love; we must claim acceptance for ourselves.Blending the latest social psychology, personal insights and empowering practical exercises, Unlearning Shame is a transformative guide to overcoming self-blame, unlocking self-worth and taking control of your future.

Shame, Pride, and Relational Trauma is a guide to recognizing the many ways shame and pride lie at the heart of psychotherapy with survivors of relational trauma. In these pages, readers learn how to differentiate shame and pride as emotional processes and traumatic mind/body states. They will also discover how understanding the psychodynamic and phenomenological relationships between shame, pride, and dissociation benefit psychotherapy with relational trauma. Next, readers are introduced to fifteen attitudes, principles, and concepts that guide this work from a transtheoretical perspective. Therapists will learn about ways to conceptualize and successfully navigate complex, patient-therapist shame dynamics, and apply neuroscientific findings to this challenging work. Finally, readers will discover how the concept and phenomena of pro-being pride, that is delighting in one''s own and others'' unique aliveness, helps patients transcend maladaptive shame and pride and experience greater unity within, with others, and with the world beyond.

''At least in The Handmaid''s Tale they value babies, mostly. Not so in the true stories here'' Margaret Atwood ''[A] furious, necessary book'' Sinéad GleesonUntil alarmingly recently, the Catholic Church, acting in concert with the Irish state, operated a network of institutions for the concealment, punishment and exploitation of ''fallen women''. In the Magdalene laundries, girls and women were incarcerated and condemned to servitude. And in the mother-and-baby homes, women who had become pregnant out of wedlock were hidden from view, and in most cases their babies were adopted - sometimes illegally. Mortality rates in these institutions were shockingly high, and the discovery of a mass infant grave at the mother-and-baby home in Tuam made news all over the world. The Irish state has commissioned investigations. But the workings of the institutions and of the culture that underpinned it - a shame-industrial complex - have long been cloaked in secrecy and silence. For countless people, a search for answers continues. Caelainn Hogan - a brilliant young journalist, born in an Ireland that was only just starting to free itself from the worst excesses of Catholic morality - has been talking to the survivors of the institutions, to members of the religious orders that ran them, and to priests and bishops. She has visited the sites of the institutions, and studied Church and state documents that have much to reveal about how they operated. Reporting and writing with great curiosity, tenacity and insight, she has produced a startling and often moving account of how an entire society colluded in this repressive system, and of the damage done to survivors and their families. In the great tradition of Anna Funder''s Stasiland and Barbara Demick''s Nothing to Envy: Real Lives in North Korea - both winners of the Samuel Johnson Prize - Republic of Shame is an astounding portrait of a deeply bizarre culture of control.''Achingly powerful ... There will be many people who don''t want to read Republic of Shame, for fear it will be too much, too dark, too heavy. Please don''t be afraid. Read it. Look it in the eye'' Irish Times''A must read for everyone'' Lynn Ruane''Republic of Shame is a careful, sensitive and extremely well-written book - but it is harrowing. It would break your heart in two'' Ailbhe Smyth''Hogan''s captivatingly written stories of people who were consigned to what she calls the "shame-industrial complex" puts faces - many old now, and lined with pain - to the clinical data ... Brilliant'' Sunday Times''Utterly brilliant. Please read it'' Marian Keyes''Riveting, immensely insightful and horrifically recognisable'' Emma Dabiri''[A] sensitive, can''t-look-away book ...

''A necessary book for our times. But also just great fun'' Saul Perlmutter, Nobel LaureateThe world is awash in bullshit, and we''re drowning in it. Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Start-up culture elevates hype to high art. These days, calling bullshit is a noble act.Based on a popular course at the University of Washington, Calling Bullshit gives us the tools to see through the obfuscations, deliberate and careless, that dominate every realm of our lives. In this lively guide, biologist Carl Bergstrom and statistician Jevin West show that calling bullshit is crucial to a properly functioning social group, whether it be a circle of friends, a community of researchers, or the citizens of a nation. Through six rules of thumb, they help us recognize bullshit whenever and wherever we encounter it - even within ourselves - and explain it to a crystal-loving aunt or casually racist grandfather.

Can shame become a source of political strength? Faced with injustice, growing inequality and systemic violence, we cry out in shame. We feel ashamed of obscene wealth amid wider deprivation. We feel ashamed of humanity for its ruthless and relentless exploitation of the earth.We feel ashamed of the racism and sexism that permeate society and our everyday lives. This difficult emotion is not just sadness or a withdrawal into oneself, nor is it a paralysing sense of inadequacy. As Frédéric Gros argues in A Philosophy of Shame, it arises when our perception of reality rejects passivity and resignation and instead embraces imagination.Shame thus becomes the expression of an anger that is a powerful, transformative force -one that assumes a radical character. In dialogue with authors such as Primo Levi, Annie Ernaux, Virginie Despentes and James Baldwin, Gros explores a concept that is still little understood in its anthropological, moral, psychological and political depths. Shame is a revolu­tionary sentiment because it lies at the foundation of any path of subjective recognition, transformation and struggle.

The novel that set the stage for his modern classic, The Satanic Verses, Shame is Salman Rushdie’s phantasmagoric epic Omar Khayyam Shakil had three mothers who shared everything. They shared the symptoms of pregnancy, they shared the son that they all claim to have borne on the same night. Raised at their six breasts, Omar's mothers teach him to live a life without shame. And it is training that proves very useful when he leaves his mothers’ fortress and makes the fateful mistake of falling in love. For he finds himself an unwitting player in an ongoing duel between the families of two men – one a celebrated wager of war, the other a debauched lover of pleasure – living in a world caught between honour and humiliation, where a moment of shame could prove fatal. ‘Shame is every bit as good as Midnight's Children. It is a pitch-black comedy of public life and historical imperatives’ The Times

Sham je parfémovaná voda, který svádí jako půlnoční pohled – intenzivní, sladký a záhadně přitažlivý. Vůně pro ženy, které vstupují do místnosti s klidem a jistotou, že je nikdo nepřehlédne. Jemná elegance se zde potkává s hlubokou smyslností a vytváří kompozici, která působí jako magnet. Hned v úvodu okouzlí svěží bergamot, šťavnatá hruška a nečekaně svůdná třešeň, která dodává vůni hravý i koketní charakter. Květinové srdce tvoří opojný jasmín a krémová tuberóza, které stojí na jemném základu bílého dřeva. Závěrečné tóny pak rozehrávají hřejivou symfonii pačuli, zlatavého jantaru a sladkého karamelu, která se usazuje na pokožce jako sametový závoj. Sham není jen vůně – je to vyjádření odvahy, ženské síly a smyslnosti, která neztrácí jemnost. Pro večery, kdy toužíte být nezapomenutelná.

When she was fourteen, Jasvinder Sanghera was shown a photo of the man chosen to be her husband. She was terrified. She''d witnessed the torment her sisters endured in their arranged marriages, so she ran away from home, grief-stricken when her parents disowned her. Shame is the heart-rending true story of a young girl''s attempt to escape from a cruel, claustrophobic world where family honour mattered more than anything - sometimes more than life itself. Jasvinder''s story is one of terrible oppression, a harrowing struggle against a punitive code of honour - and, finally, triumph over adversity.

Otázka pohlaví - kdo jsme jako muži a ženy - nebyla nikdy tak aktuální ani tak špatně chápaná. Dr. Abigail Favaleová ve své knize předkládá hluboký a zároveň velice čtivý a přístupný popis genderového paradigmatu a vysvětluje, proč se mu v poslední době tak daří. Sleduje původ genderu až po jeho kořeny ve feminismu a postmoderním myšlení a popisuje, jak gender zastínil pohlaví a jak tento posun mění jazyk, právo a medicínu, sexualitu a naše vlastní sebepojetí. Kniha Zrození genderu je důležitým a aktuálním zdrojem informací pro každého, kdo se chce v této složité a výbušné problematice zorientovat. Často jsem měla dobrý pocit z toho, že studenty vystavuji opojným a módním teoriím genderu. Když na konci kurzu obvykle mluvili o nově získané nejistotě a zmatku, cítila jsem zadostiučinění. Jako by mým hlavním úkolem bylo narušit jejich zjednodušující názory, vystavit je neřešitelné složitosti. Nyní toto dílo dezorientace začalo zviklávat mě. Svědomí mě uplynulých deset poplácávalo let po ramenou, nyní si ale odkašlávalo v koutku mé mysli a ptalo se: Je vůbec něco z toho pravda? AF

Dospívající dívky stále častěji užívají testosteron, ničí si těla a vydávají se na nevratnou cestu ke změně pohlaví. Co stojí za tímto jevem, o kterém se podle některých aktivistů vůbec nesmí mluvit? Odpověď na tuto otázku se snaží nalézt Nevratné poškození – kniha, jejíž vydání provázely v mnoha zemích výhrůžky a protesty. Zatímco ještě donedávna byla takzvaná genderová dysforie (identifikace jedince s jiným než se svým biologickým pohlavím) vzácným fenoménem, který se týkal téměř výhradně chlapců, v posledních deseti letech se jako „transgender“ po celém světě identifikuje stále více dospívajících dívek. Americká novinářka Abigail Shrier se prostřednictvím šokujících statistik a příběhů ze skutečných rodin pokouší tento trend vysvětlit jako novodobou epidemii, která nemá nic společného se skutečnou genderovou dysforií, ale pramení zejména z křehkosti a pomíjivosti naší současné kultury. Autorka popisuje, jak „přiznání“ transgenderové orientace okamžitě zvyšuje společenský status dívek a jak je těžké vrátit se zpět, jakmile jednou udělají první krok k tranzici. „Knihu doporučujeme rodičům, kteří se potřebují zorientovat v chaosu světa kolem svých dospívajících dětí, aby se pak dokázali vnitřně zpevnit a lépe rozpoznávali, co do jejich rodiny patří a co dovnitř nepustí.“

What’s gone wrong?In Bad Therapy, Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids – it’s the mental-health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers and young people themselves, she reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits: for instance, talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression; while ‘gentle parenting’ can encourage emotional turbulence in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult to be in charge. Bad Therapy is a must-read for anyone questioning why our efforts to support our kids have backfired.

The first granular study of nineteenth-century composer devotion—a network of devotees who preserved tangible traces of composers through relics, rituals, pilgrimage, exhumation, and embalming.  During the nineteenth century, music institutions promoted artworks they deemed timeless and made composers into figureheads of a lasting Western canon. Alongside this institutional face of the canon was a more intimate impulse to preserve, touch, and embrace the residues of the dead. In Germany and Austria between 1870 and 1930, music lovers venerated the bodies, houses, and belongings of composers as relics, shrines, and talismans. In The Composer Embalmed, Abigail Fine documents the vernacular and eccentric ways that composers have been remembered. Fine navigates a wealth of unknown archival material to recover the stories of devotees: from pilgrims who felt time stop in historic houses to music-loving doctors who made skulls into sacred specimens, dilettantes who displayed Beethoven’s mask as a relic of the “beautiful death,” and interwar critics of those dilettantes who disparaged piety as a false religion, a kitsch replica. In isolation, these practices may look like simple acts of affection. But in the aggregate, Fine asserts, acts of devotion constituted what we might broadly understand as relic culture—a culture that sought to possess the body of the departed genius, and that superimposed habits of anthropological collecting onto artifacts of Austro-German heritage. By excavating objects, ephemera, amateur lyric, visitors’ books, letters, and travelogues, The Composer Embalmed reveals the underbelly of the canon, where guilty pleasures blur the boundary between sanctity and desecration.

How eighteenth-century literature depended on misinterpretation—and how this still shapes the way we readReading It Wrong is a new history of eighteenth-century English literature that explores what has been everywhere evident but rarely talked about: the misunderstanding, muddle and confusion of readers of the past when they first met the uniquely elusive writings of the period. Abigail Williams uses the marginal marks and jottings of these readers to show that flawed interpretation has its own history—and its own important role to play—in understanding how, why and what we read. Focussing on the first half of the eighteenth century, the golden age of satire, Reading It Wrong tells how a combination of changing readerships and fantastically tricky literature created the perfect grounds for puzzlement and partial comprehension. Through the lens of a history of imperfect reading, we see that many of the period’s major works—by writers including Daniel Defoe, Eliza Haywood, Mary Wortley Montagu, Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift—both generated and depended upon widespread misreading. Being foxed by a satire, coded fiction or allegory was, like Wordle or the cryptic crossword, a form of entertainment, and perhaps a group sport. Rather than worrying that we don’t have all the answers, we should instead recognize the cultural importance of not knowing.
