This Is Worth Remembering

Named a BOOK OF THE YEAR by The Times and Sunday Times,New Statesman,Spectator,Prospect,and New Yorker.'Undoubtedly Hoare's masterpiece'Olivia Laing'Queer in all senses of the word'Neil Tennant'A life-changing book'Robert Douglas Fairhurst, The Times'Fabulously idiosyncratic'Lucy Hughes-Hallett, New Statesman¿How one visionary inspired 200 years of art, poetry, and protest.Weaving between the historical, cultural and personal, award-winning author Philip Hoare reveals a web of creative minds and artistic iconoclasts fired with the wild and revolutionary genius of William Blake.In 1973, Derek Jarman set off from London to film the stones of Avebury. He was following in the footsteps of Paul Nash, who had photographed the ancient megaliths a generation before. Standing in that muddy field, by those stones, both artists had felt a direct connection to their hero - a man who had died a long, long time ago, yet who remained electrically alive to them.In this alluring and poetic odyssey, Philip Hoare traces the enduring legacy of William Blake and how he came to inspire so many creative lives. Reaching out of his past and into our future, Blake draws together the natural world and metaphysical realms, merging the human and the animal and the spiritual, firing up twentieth-century artists, filmmakers, poets, writers and musicians with his radical promise of absolute freedom. This stirring, deeply felt book brings us back to Blake and shows that art still has the power to create positive change.'A book that is neither Blake biography nor critical analysis nor legacy-tracing nor personal odyssey but a capacious mixing of them all ... a joyful and dizzying romp' Philip Marsden, Spectator'This love letter to William Blake couldn't be more eccentric ... Philip Hoare's weird and wonderful style soars in this study of the poet and his disciples' Ian Sansom, Telegraph'Hoare's impassioned style, alive with metaphor and wordplay, has often been called "dreamlike". This is apt, given his total immersion in his subject ... Nothing will be as audacious or intriguing as William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love' Jenny Uglow, Times Literary Supplement

AN INSTANT&nbsp;NEW YORK TIMES&nbsp;BESTSELLER!If there was a core lie sabotaging your life, wouldn't you want to know what it is? And wouldn't you want to find the way to be free?Most of us have been living inside a lie for so long that it feels like the truth. It has quietly shaped our identity, our relationships, and even how we see God. Until we see it, we'll keep circling the same frustrations, the same shame, the same thoughts of&nbsp;I'll never change.&nbsp;But freedom is possible. At the center of this book is a powerful idea: most of our struggles trace back to one core lie we've unknowingly believed-I'm helpless, I'm worthless, or I'm unlovable.&nbsp;These lies don't just live in our thoughts;&nbsp;they shape our relationships and our everyday choices. What feels like personality or circumstance is often something deeper. This book helps you identify that story, understand how it took root, and replace it with truth so you can experience real, lasting freedom. In&nbsp;The Lie You Don't Know You Believe, Jennie Allen pulls back the curtain on the enemy's oldest trick-and shows you&nbsp;how to dismantle it with the spiritual authority you&nbsp;already have in Christ. She guides you&nbsp;through how to:Spot the three core lies everyone believes-and name the one running your lifeTrace the moment your lie took root and how the enemy has been using it to keep you stuckCut ties with your old narratives so they stop shaping your choicesChallenge lies in real time and replace them with God's truth&nbsp;This isn't about behavior modification. This is about transferring your life out of the enemy's kingdom of lies and into the kingdom of light-where joy, peace, and strength aren't fleeting feelings but your everyday reality.

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital reveals how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare and offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, anti-trust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.
