CARPOOLING TO HELL

Independently published

Tahai J: CARPOOLING TO HELL

A Father's Journey through Maine's Family Courts

*Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize* 'A fascinating exploration of the linkages between ancestral inheritance, diasporic belonging, and our climate future... I read it in one sitting, which took me on a moving and often unexpected journey' Aube Rey Lescure 'Part of me knew what the hungry ghosts wanted all along, what they still want. It is not vengeance. No, they want something else, but we refuse to listen. They want us to face up to our broken obligations.' Every spring during the Qingming Festival, people return to their home villages in China to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, making offerings of food and incense to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts that could cause misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Following a record year of wildfires, Alice Mah returns to her family's rice village in South China, and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten, and there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid.Here Mah chronicles her journey from the rice villages of South China to her home in post-industrial England, through the Chinatowns of Western Canada where she grew up, to the isles and industry of Scotland where she now lives. As years pass and fires rage on, she becomes increasingly troubled by her ancestors' neglected graves. Her research on pollution gives way to growing eco-anxiety, culminating in a crisis of spiritual belief.A haunting blend of memoir, cultural history and environmental exploration, Red Pockets confronts the hungry ghosts of our neglected ancestors, while searching for an acceptable offering. What do we owe to past and future generations? What do we owe to the places that we inhabit?

An Offering

Red Pockets

Penguin Modern Classics

Close, close beneath the land I had once rooted myself in and loved, lay a land filled with violence, injustice and hatred On 22 April 1962 what remains of Göran Rosenberg's family embark from his native Sweden to make Israel their new home. Transplanted into a nation born only a few months before him, he is first enchanted by its vitality, imprinted by its ideals. It marks the beginning of a lifetime's journey across the promised land and into its past, a reckoning with the utopian visions and desperate fears that went into Zionism as well as the violence and dispossession of its realization. This landmark book tells the story of that journey - through buried stories and erased villages, dreams and disillusionments, and the histories still unfurling today.

A Personal History

NATIONAL BESTSELLER This “deeply felt memoir of race and history that defies social erasures of the diasporic Palestinian experience” (The Whiting Award Judges Citation) explores Elena Dudum’s transformational journey and evolving relationship to Palestine. My father scours the web for century-old magazines about Palestine. For years, he would talk about these mysterious documents but rarely show them to anyone. “I have proof,” he would say to whoever would listen, “that Palestine exists.” In her Palestinian Christian home in San Francisco, Elena Dudum was raised in a household ruled by her father’s lectures. He taught her everything: the story of her grandparents’ flight from their homeland, the history of her family’s orange groves, and the facts of the ongoing occupation of Palestine. Above all, he taught her not to forget. Soon his lessons consumed her childhood, and Elena found herself shrinking from an inheritance that felt both sacred and suffocating. For years, she resisted it all until a family trip to Palestine shattered the abstraction of her homeland. Checkpoints, razed olive groves, soldiers—it was all plainly in front of her, as were the ghosts of her family’s past. What was once always just out of reach, now pressed against her body. Back in the United States, something in her quietly unraveled. She tried to outrun what she now knew by burying herself in elite institutions and the rising world of tech, where ambition was rewarded and history was inconvenient. Eventually, the inheritance she thought she could escape demanded reckoning. Braiding rich personal narrative with archival fragments and cultural critique, They Told Me Back Home Would Be Beautiful traces one woman’s journey as she returns—slowly, deliberately—to her father’s lessons, determined to claim them on her own terms.

A Palestinian Memoir

They Told Me Back Home Would Be Beautiful

A workbook designed to guide the bereaved through grief using a clinically-informed, structured storytelling method, this book gives readers the ability to disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reconcile with their loss using narrative writing. Based upon her research and the 'expressive storytelling' method she created, Linita Eapen Mathew calls upon her own experiences losing her father along with carefully structured narrative exercises to teach readers how they can write, re-examine, revise, and re-write their grief story to work towards a point of clarity and release. Leaning into grief theory and trauma-informed and therapeutic writing research, Writing Through Grief allows readers to create a complete and consistent account of their experiences to help them process events that unfolded, release trauma, and relieve the intense reactions and responses to the loss of both the living and the deceased. With each chapter combining Eapen's personal narrative with expressive storytelling exercises alongside discussion of the research behind them for context, this book offers readers a creative, productive but emotionally sensitive approach to handling grief. Whether guided by a trained psychologist, a workshop instructor or writing in the comfort of a personal space, writers can disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reflection through creative writing.

An Expressive Storytelling Workbook

Narrating Your Grief

By exploring the historic development of marriage laws and changing relationship norms in England, Qatar and Australia; the legal treatment of religious-only unions in light of the family law regime in each country, and the impact of non-recognition, this book reveals the complexities of the law reform needed to tackle these issues. This examination of the differing outcomes for couples who live in England/Wales where cohabitants have no legal rights, Australia where cohabitants do benefit from some legal protections, and Qatar, a Muslim majority state with a modern family law regime which ordinarily recognises religious marriages provides a broad canvas for exploring this issue in depth. The book looks at this very complex issue from a range of perspectives including autonomy, cultural transitions and legal pluralism. It examines the issue of religious-only marriages in order to convey the complex and interwoven narrative which signifies how multifaceted law reform must be in order to adequately respond to these transitioning relationship norms in any given jurisdiction. Of course, relationship norms are not static and they continue to evolve. In light of changing norms and practices, the theoretical framework for this book focuses on the concept of 'liminality' or transition, which is being witnessed in the processes and formalities by which Muslims are entering their marriages.

Warum Kreativität schon immer die richtige Antwort auf alle Probleme warEinst war die Logik unser ganzer Stolz. Alles haben wir geplant und gemessen. Doch plötzlich verstehen wir die Welt nicht mehr. Wir haben uns verrechnet. Nun drängt auch noch Künstliche Intelligenz in unser Leben und auf unsere Bildschirme. Die Logik kennt keine Grenzen mehr. Die Zukunft scheint nicht länger eine Verheißung zu sein, sondern eine Zumutung. Controller denken: Der Mensch ist kostspielig, kompliziert und unkalkulierbar. Ihn zu ersetzen verspricht große Profitsprünge. Das ist Kapitalismus next level.&nbsp; 
Frank Dopheide findet, es ist höchste Zeit, sich auf das zu besinnen, was uns Menschen wirklich ausmacht. Wir sind schöpferische Wesen. Unser Einfallsreichtum kann Leben retten - und unseren Feierabend. Kreativität kann Menschen zum Weinen und Lachen bringen und ein ganzes Stadion zum Mitsingen. Kreativität ist kein Kurs in der Volkshochschule, sondern der Moment, in dem man Flügel bekommt und über sich hinauswächst. Geben wir den Menschen den Glauben an das Wunder der Kreativität zurück. Hier ist das Buch dazu. Zum Lesen, Staunen, Freuen, Mitmachen und Verschenken.&nbsp;

Eine kurzweilige Geschichte der Kreativität

Den Verstand verlieren ist eine gute Idee

“Here is a writer with a rare gift for appreciation and for reminding us of all we have to celebrate in our fractured world.”&nbsp;—Pico Iyer, author of 
The Half Known Life Behind the scenes of a globe-spanning career in freelance journalism Foreword by Tim Cahill A Crooked Line celebrates an age when print journalism changed lives and made the world a better place. That era may be winding down, but this perceptive book makes the case for why incisive writing will always matter. Over the course of his 40-year career, Michael Shapiro has reported from more than 20 countries, writing for National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and many other top publications. But the itinerant writer’s life, while rewarding, has never been easy.
 
Shapiro worked as an investigative reporter and staff writer for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers before letting go of a regular paycheck and setting out to share stories of people and places worldwide. The exhilarations of the open road, “afoot and light-hearted” as Whitman wrote, were tempered by the challenges of freelancing, from making a living to working with heavy-handed editors.
 
His stories put people first: For a feature about Puerto Rico’s recovery after Hurricane Maria, he visited farmers who spoke of shifting from exporting produce to growing food for local people. His profile of a Yosemite photographer, who climbed Half Dome after being diagnosed with cancer, brought the man’s big-hearted humanity to the fore.
 
Shapiro is known as a travel writer, but his work goes far beyond global dispatches. In this book he shares stories of: <ul><li>saving Sunset magazine’s priceless archive of Western life (including photos made by Ansel Adams) after Time Inc. told staffers to toss everything into a dumpster</li><li>an investigation into the U.S. government’s attempt to conceal the circumstances of pro football star and soldier Pat Tillman’s death during the war in Afghanistan</li><li>writing a tribute about environmental hero Jane Goodall just hours after she died</li><li>how the Grateful Dead’s ecstatic songs celebrate the wonders of nature.</li></ul>Renowned for his books of conversations with writers and artists, A Sense of Place and The Creative Spark, Shapiro has interviewed David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Smokey Robinson, Joan Rivers, Frances Mayes and Peter Matthiessen. In this volume, he tells the story of how he convinced a reluctant Paul Theroux to agree to an interview and shares an in-depth dialogue with poet and philosopher David Whyte. A Crooked Line highlights Shapiro’s best journalism and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how he pitched stories and got assignments worldwide. Postscripts detail what happened afterward; some include letters from people he wrote about, sharing what his coverage meant to them. Due to the dramatic changes in the journalistic landscape, a career like Shapiro’s couldn’t begin today. Yet the skills he honed as a journalist—empathetic listening, concise and evocative writing, and a keen sense of what matters—remain as relevant as ever. The tales and insights in A Crooked Line provide a timely affirmation of journalism’s enduring power to illuminate the human experience. This penetrating book reminds us that whatever life path we choose, it’s vital to make it our own.

The Perils and Rewards of a Life in Freelance Journalism

A Crooked Line

We live in the Age of Shock, an era in which the interval between global crises has collapsed to zero and human biology is overwhelmed by an exponential torrent of data. Leaders who don't respond effectively face a stark reality: neither they nor their organizations will keep up for long.Through his own remarkable story of survival, Chaim Oren teaches leaders to abandon the outdated myth of resilience--'bouncing back'--and instead learn how to rise forward. Instead of trying to withstand shocks, he shows how to convert the kinetic force of continuous disruption into upward momentum.This is a clear-eyed, highly actionable blueprint that transforms wellbeing into the mission-critical, load-bearing infrastructure required to survive the biological and organizational friction of our time.

The Leadership Playbook for the Age of Shock
