Way Makers

An Anthology of Women’s Writing about Walking

'Compassionate, pragmatic wisdom' - Alain de Botton An empowering guide to managing conflict. As much as we may try to avoid it, disagreement is inevitable - from work to family life, friendships and even internal dilemmas. But how many of us actually know how to deal with conflict effectively? How can you stop a disagreement escalating to an argument? And how can we all learn to communicate better? World-leading conflict mediator and psychotherapist Gabrielle Rifkind is here to help you navigate the discords of daily life with her groundbreaking book How to Agree to Disagree. This book is a comprehensive, accessible and practical handbook, covering a wide range of different types of conflict. From finances to families, world issues to the workplace, Gabrielle is an encouraging guide through a modern world of conflict, empowering you to be confident when dealing with disagreements and to get along with - almost - anyone.

Turning Conflict into Connection

How to Agree to Disagree

Why do we write poetry? Who should create it? And where do you even start? Well, Brian Bilston, one of the UK's most hilarious and best-loved poets, is here to take us through the hows, whys and whats of reading, writing and enjoying poetry every day. With his characteristic wit and charm, Bilston accompanies us through the jungle of imagination to the source of inspiration, takes us under the bonnet of a sonnet and over the fear of literary devices. He gives us a whirlwind tour through the history of verse, and shows us why human poetry will always triumph over any attempts by AI. Showcasing over a hundred brand-new poems, and including practical critiques of some of his greatest hits, every page is an immensely pleasurable deep-dive into the life-affirming craft of poetry and a passionate argument for why we should all pick up a pen. How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside is for anyone who loves words and all the things they can do. Reader Reviews: 'Love the author's humorous take on creating poetry . . . absolutely brilliant!' 'I laughed my way through the book.' 'I'm not a poetry aficionado but this book made me feel like I could write poetry!' 'A lighthearted gambol through the topic of poetry' 'Absolutely hilarious - the kind of poems you'll love even if you don't consider yourself a 'poetry person''

An Alternative Guide to Writing and Enjoying Poetry

How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside

Few would argue that women and girls are well represented in STEM education and careers. But does presenting STEM as a glittery occupation represented by scientist Barbies make the field more attractive? This book explores how glitter shapes the way women and girls are encouraged into STEM and introduces glitter as a substance that illuminates and attracts while hiding the darker or mundane aspects of STEM work. Through an examination of glittery campaigns, visual artefacts and organizational practices, the author reveals how sparkling narratives of STEM futures can both inspire and mislead. The book will spark reflections on new and inclusive ways of increasing women's representation in STEM.

Glitter, Visual Artefacts and Futures of Women in Stem Education and Work

Organizing In-Visibility

This book offers a fresh perspective on work showing how past events, ideas, practices and values haunt organizations. In a contemporary context where organizations are ever more obsessed with growth and transformation, the book discovers a politics of time at the heart of questions about power and ethics. It develops a non-linear approach to the history of education showing what it means to inherit from previous generations and how encounters with ghosts can open possibilities of other, alternative futures. For academics and students across management, education, and sociology, the book is a crucial resource for understanding contemporary organizations. It invites you to find new ways to care for the future of work.

A Hauntological History of Work in Educational Vocations

Inherited Time

From Virginia Woolf to bell hooks, women have written, thought about and worked with film, images, and the visual in philosophical ways since the inception of cinema, and yet their names are generally missing from the discipline of film philosophy. This anthology brings together, for the first time, a collection of writings by women philosophers, writers and thinkers on philosophical aspects of film and visual culture. The collection of texts in this book demonstrates a century of women writing about the visual, considering aesthetics, politics, and challenging dominant ideologies. All can inspire us to think anew about film and visual cultures. Feminist Film Philosophy re-frames the body of work available to film philosophers in schools, universities, and cinema audiences, and stages a long-overdue intervention in the field, thereby enabling the development of the discipline in important and vital ways.

The Feminist Film Philosophy Reader

From the wood pastures of the New Forest to the sub-arctic Cairngorms plateaux, Britain's 15 national parks are loved by millions. Created as a gift to a ravaged populace after the war, the parks were envisioned as places for people to enjoy beautiful scenery, with wildlife an incidental detail. Everywhere else in the world, however, national parks exist to protect nature. Britain's national parks are an outlier - heavily impacted by intensive farming, intentional burning, forestry, commercial shooting and even mining. Shockingly, wildlife is faring worse inside than outside the park borders.Ecologist and land manager Lee Schofield argues that in an era of environmental crisis, we can and must do better. Drawing comparisons with national parks in Europe and beyond, learning from naturalists, scientists, farmers, campaigners, park employees and visitors, he presents a pragmatic, respectful blueprint to turn things around, transforming our national parks to areas where humans and nature can find refuge together.

Putting Nature at the Heart of Britain’s National Parks

Refuge

What if we abolished police, courts, and prisons? Where would we turn for justice? Do we need laws? Punishment? These questions are not just the preoccupation of an abolitionist pipedream. Their answers already exist, if only we know where to look.
Professor Sitrin introduces readers to communities worldwide that resolve harms and conflicts without looking to the state or the judiciary. The book focuses on alternative forms of justice, peace-keeping, and adjudication in selected locations, with particular attention to indigenous and women-led movements from across Mexico, Argentina, Rojava, and the USA. Marina Sitrin traces how each came to be and examines the theoretical and political underpinnings of the process.
We Make Our Own Justice&nbsp;allows the reader to reflect on how these alternative forms of justice and adjudication have been planted and nurtured over time-often over decades-and to consider the possibilities for other communities and regions to produce something similar. We Make Our Own Justice offers an invaluable resource, fostering optimism and open-mindedness as we seek to transform our neighborhoods, groups, and communities into abolitionist spaces, both in theory and in practice.

Global Alternatives to Policing and Prisons

We Make Our Own Justice

DELUXE EDITION-a beautiful hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges, a designed case stamp, and fully illustrated color endpapers. From New York Times bestselling author Olivie Blake comes a tantalizing story of power, seduction, and the omens you'll ignore when everything you've dreamed of feels just within reach. The headlines are calling it the "summer of exsanguination" in LA-girls are being murdered, the Santa Ana winds are blowing a strange energy into the city, and all signs point to fire season. More pressing for Anya Morris, though, is the drudgery of living at home, working part time at the family store, and contending with her mother's disdain for the acting career Anya knows she's destined for but that feels more impossible by the day. It's in this suffocating late summer heat that Anya receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an invitation to work for the de Witt family, one of LA's most influential film dynasties. Soon, she's spending her days and nights at their strange villa high in the Hollywood Hills, where she meets Jude, a recluse who is both the family's heir apparent and its most closely guarded secret. There's a magnetism to Jude that Anya cannot resist, despite warning signs that scream like sirens in the night. Because the villa holds generations of bloodstained history, and an occult family curse may even live within its walls-or within Jude himself. In this city, everyone cuts a deal with the devil. When Anya comes face to face with a devil of her own, she'll learn just how far she's willing to go to get everything she's ever wanted.

A Novel

Dreamland

The untold history of the extraordinary women who drove the modern dance movement and changed cultural narratives about sex, power and women's rights. The story of modern dance is a story of subversion - of forms challenged and hierarchies toppled in the pursuit of blazing artistic integrity. In Wild Grace, Sara Veale profiles nine of the pioneering women at the heart of this movement, from Isadora Duncan and Loie Fuller's fearless rejection of nineteenth-century paternalism to Katherine Dunham and Pearl Primus's battles to recentre marginalised histories in the wake of the Second World War. Each of these dancers redefined the meaning of grace in their art and their lifestyle, conveying vital truths about what it means to walk the world as a woman. Veale brings to life the stories and artistry of these remarkable individuals and reveals how, in their refusal to conform, we can find urgent lessons for today.

The Untamed Women of Modern Dance

Wild Grace

Eine Mythenerzählung von Kontrollverlust und ungeahnter Verbundenheit in den surrealen Kulissen des globalisierten Kapitalismus.

Zwei junge Menschen, zwei Leben für die Kunst: Malik in Köln, Jenny in Chongqing. Während ihre Lebensentwürfe unter ökonomischem Druck ins Wanken geraten, beginnen die Stalaktiten über ihren Betten auf sich aufmerksam zu machen - sie tropfen, sie wachsen, und sie verschwinden nicht wieder.

Ein Roman über Leben im Ungleichgewicht, globale Verflechtungen und die Frage, was geschieht, wenn die Realität selbst instabil wird.

Stalaktiten

In ihrem bisher persönlichsten Buch spricht Florence Given über eines der letzten Tabus des modernen Feminismus: weibliche Konkurrenz.'Für wen hält die sich eigentlich?' - jede Frau kennt diesen Satz. Er soll bremsen, verunsichern und klein halten: Sei nicht zu laut, nicht zu ehrgeizig, nimm bloß nicht zu viel Raum ein. Florence Given zeigt, wie tief Frauen diese Mechanismen verinnerlicht haben und warum gerade Frauen diese gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen gegeneinander verwenden. Sie fragt sich: Wie würden Frauen leben, wenn ihnen die Meinung anderer egal wäre? Wozu wären sie in der Lage? Wie unverschämt gut würde sich ihr Leben anfühlen?Ein emotionaler Weckruf, der Frauen dazu empowert, endlich kompromisslos das Leben zu führen, das sie wirklich führen wollen.

Who Does She Think She Is?

Drawing on over a decade and a half of first-hand experience, leading legal scholar and feminist activist Marilyn Kamuru documents the important role African feminist organizing plays in defining and defending gender-equality policy in Kenya and beyond. Focusing on how constitutionally mandated gender quotas in Kenya's parliament are repeatedly violated by government failures, or outright refusals, to implement them, Kamuru brings out how Kenya's feminist activists--during the drafting of the 2010 constitution and in the years since--fight gender inequality in ways that go more to the heart of the problem than any conventional approach. Kenyan feminists, Kamuru argues, are unique in that they address not only the underrepresentation of women in politics, but also the overrepresentation of men. This distinct framing of the issue, now enshrined in the highly progressive 2010 constitution thanks to their efforts, poses a real threat to male dominance in government, and this is what accounts for its obstinate non-implementation. Kamuru's findings highlight the important questions that African feminism poses to global efforts towards gender equality. How do quotas really impact gender equity? How are they used to limit debates about it? What does the dominance of typical WROs and INGOs in all areas of gender policy say about their own roles in inscribing such limits? And what alternatives are African feminist movements such as WeAre52pc and EndFemicide offering?
