Another North is a paean to the material world-food, clothing, cars, and houses, of course, but also to wastrel beauty that serves no purpose but to catch at the human heart.

And Other Male Failures

Broken Biscuits

This rare self-portrait from pioneering publisher, writer and cultural activist Margaret Busby underscores her powerful legacy and celebrates some of the people and places that have shaped her exceptional lifeMargaret Busby has been at the heart of cultural life in the UK for over 50 years. From becoming Britain's youngest and first Black woman publisher when she founded publishing house Allison &amp; Busby, to editing the ground-breaking international anthologies Daughters of Africa and New Daughters of Africa, her many achievements are testament to her dedication to championing the lives and stories of others, particularly those throughout the world who have been marginalised by the mainstream. With little attention previously given to her own skills as a writer, Part of the Story is a unique opportunity to enjoy her own remarkable literary output. It brings together her writings on people, places, politics and publishing, and provides a rich insight into the many elements that have contributed to shaping her life, from her childhood in Ghana to the Black writers, intellectuals, artists and activists she has worked with, befriended, supported and championed for over half a century.

Writings from Half a Century

Part of the Story

'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

Routledge Advances in Sociology

This edited collection explores dramatic transformations in intimate life in contemporary Ireland, including the introduction of both divorce and civil partnerships. Yet intimate politics remain contested and abortions must be obtained abroad. Ireland offers fascinating insights into the influence of the media, and shifting cultural and social norms. The chapters examine these changes with research by leading scholars.

Gender, Intimacy and Contemporary Ireland

'Brims with ideas and insights . . . Ghosh is at his sparkling best' IRISH TIMES Wild Fictions brings together Amitav Ghosh's extraordinary writing on the subjects that have obsessed him over the last twenty-five years: literature and language; climate change and the environment; human lives, travel, and discoveries. The spaces that we inhabit, and the way in which we occupy them, is a constant thread throughout this striking and expansive collection. From the significance of the commodification of the clove, the diversity of the mangrove forests in West Bengal and the radical fluidity of multilingualism, Wild Fictions is a powerful refutation of imperial violence, a fascinating exploration of the fictions we weave to absorb history, and a reminder of the importance of empathy. With the combination of moral passion, intellectual curiosity and literary elegance that defines his writing, Amitav Ghosh makes us understand the world in new, and urgent, ways. Together, the pieces within Wild Fictions chart a course that allows us to heal our relationships and restore a delicate balance with the volatile landscapes to which we all belong. 'We owe a great debt to Ghosh's brilliant mind, avenging pen, and huge soul' NAOMI KLEIN, author of This Changes Everything

Cathedrals of Connection

Leverage your biology to support the healing of anxiety, isolation, deep sadness, and conflict with this research-tested program for actively practicing compassion and unlocking the emotional and physiological benefits, in the tradition of Buddha’s Brain and Why Buddhism Is True. Many years ago, former Tibetan Buddhist monk and Emory professor, Dr. Lobsang Tenzin Negi was tasked by the Dalai Lama himself to find new ways of sharing ancient Tibetan wisdom with the modern world. Dr. Negi turned that mission into a research project to find scientific and biological evidence that compassion is an essential tool for building resilience. The result is an eight-step program known as CBCT (Cognitively-Based Compassion Training), developed in the Dalai Lama’s Compassion Center at Emory University. The Power of Belonging presents a revolutionary marriage between Western science and Eastern thought. In CBCT, the eight meditative steps help us grow our essential skills for building resilience and finding peace: an abiding sense of safety; a clear and focused mind; self-awareness; loosening the grip of self-blame; finding opportunity in difficult times; learning to love without bias; discovering our warm and tenderhearted connection to others; and compassion. These tools are the antidote to isolation, unrest, and personal suffering. And for the Dalai Lama and Dr. Negi, the stakes could not be higher: By cultivating our capacity for compassion, we become able to participate in building a more just and equitable world.
