In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.American, Muslim, and Proud - One's Family's StoryFor many Americans, the words "American" and "Muslim" simply do not marry well. For many, the combination is an anathema, a contradiction in values, loyalties, and identities. This is the story of how, through the lives, their schools, their friends, and their neighbours, one American Muslim family ended up living the challenges, myths, fears, hopes, and dreams of all Americans.In this moving memoir, Ranya Tabari Idliby explores what it means to be Muslim in America today and reveals the obstacles she faces as she tries to raise her children and teach them about their heritage and religious legacy. She discusses life in a world where hostility toward Muslims runs rampant, where there is an entire industry of anti-Muslim sentiment financed and supported by think tanks, authors, film makers, and individual vigilantes whose sole…

(If they twist your tongue too much you can call me Philip Roberts. That is my white-feller name.)I'm a full-blood Aboriginal of the Alawa tribe at Roper River in the Northern Territory.My body has been through the fires of tribal initiation. I have been subjected to many taboos. As a child I was 'sung' to death by a malevolent medicine man, who wished to destroy me in order to punish my clan. I was saved by another.I have worshipped Kunapipi the Earth Mother in our pagan ceremonies. I believe in the Rainbow Serpent. I have also worshipped and believe in the Lord God and have been confused by a conflict of religions.In my youth I was taught to track and hunt wild animals, to be…

Description:
In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.In August 2014 Jenny Diski was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given 'two or three years' to live. In September 2014 she began writing essays in the London Review of Books describing living with terminal cancer and examining her complex, fifty-year relationship with the author Doris Lessing, who took Jenny in when she was a troubled teenager. Interweaving past and present, Diski's narrative transports us to the hysterical battlefield of her parental home, her expulsion from school, her drug-taking twenties spent in and out of psychiatric hospitals - and paints a portrait of two extraordinary writers.From one of our most original voices comes a book like no other: a cerebral, witty, candid masterpiece about an uneasy relationship; about memory and writing, ingratitude and anger; about living with illness and facing death.

In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.Meredith Norton is in love, and moves from California to Paris to be with her husband. She thought that coming to grips with the French way of life was hard enough - and then she discovered she had breast cancer.French doctors had dismissed her symptoms, but within hours of arriving home to visit her family, she had 'gotten a skin biopsy, had an ultrasound and mammogram, been scheduled for a stereotactic needle biopsy, and been wished a nice weekend'. The diagnosis was of a virulent cancer - and she was given a 40 per cent chance of survival.Irreverent and incredibly funny, she rails against chemotherapy and resulting baldness, a double mastectomy, radiation treatment, and the ministrations of her African American family, with its five blaring TV sets and discussion of everything except sex, money and feelings. She deals with the innumerable copies of books by super survivor…

Miss Johansson, I said, "Please hold my calls..." Honestly.

In fact, the first book written and produced by the Pythons, themselves, since 1979. No, they are not all dead. Okay, some of them have been a bit quiet recently, and one or two have DNR notes by their bedsides, but the point is five of them are…

Loved for his roles in Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster, acclaimed for his novel The Liar and surrounded by a glamorous and glittering cast of friends, Stephen discovered that success gave him a taste for excess. Plunging into the high life, he blazed brightly in public and partied unashamedly in private - insensible of the ball which inevitably lay ahead. How had Stephen - so driven to create and entertain - lost his way?

For Anne H. Putnam, it became unavoidable - by the age of seventeen she weighed over twenty stone and had tried everything, from dieting to fat camp to wearing big t-shirts. When she decided to have weight-loss surgery, she thought her life would change. But now, nine years later and ten sizes smaller, she has discovered that changing your body doesn't automatically change how you feel about it.Navel Gazing is a funny, passionate and no-holds-barred memoir of one woman's quest to accept her own body - to feel normal. It will make you laugh, cry, cringe - and wonder why it's so hard for women to feel happy with the way they look.

In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.Following the extraordinary success of her wartime memoirs, The Past is Myself, Christabel Bielenberg received thousands of letters from readers begging her to describe what happened next. The Road Ahead takes up the story at the moment the first volume left off - with the outbreak of peace.Germany was devastated by war and its aftermath, while Britain seemed grey and exhausted to Christabel. She was soon appointed the Observer's special correspondent in Germany, and, reunited with her husband Peter (technically an enemy alien), she joined the struggle for reconciliation with, and the rebuilding of, a defeated nation. It was Peter's near-fatal accident and her own illness which decided the young couple to turn their backs on England and Germany and make a new start farming in Ireland.Life was harsh at first, but predictably Christabel found humour in the accidents of poverty and the many…

Large print - in good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.At thirteen Horatio Clare was a boarder at a boy's public school, a privileged member of an apparently blessed generation. A rebel - one of those who detested the system, who thought it not just fun but right to break its laws - he was expelled for smoking dope. He became one of the thousands who gleefully ignored the warnings and set out, in search of experience and intensity, to slalom on the slippery slope. From university campuses to the rooftops of New York; from Brixton basements to fear and loathing in Mid Devon, through psychosis, mania and depression, from sanity to madness and back again, this is a portrait drawn from a generation that turned to drugs. And it is a search for understanding: why do we do these things, and what do they do to us? What were we looking for and what did we find?

Golden sunshine glowed in the lush garden; hippos basked in the Letaba River; storks and herons perched along the shore. Kobie felt she'd found heaven on earth - until she found a python in her bedroom on the first night. It was the perfect introduction to the wonders and terrors that awaited.As the family settled into their new life, a steady stream of wild animals wandered in and out. A honey badger that they nursed back to health rampaged happily through the house. Sneaky hyenas stole blankets. Ordinarily placid elephants grew violent in the summer heat. And one terrible day,…
