This book was written by a grandmother who wanted to share her love of God with her grandchildren. In this book, she describes in daily lessons how many life experiences (including surviving a dissected aorta when she was given a 7% chance of survival) have strengthened her faith in God and have given her a feeling of peace and hope she prays for her loved ones to have. She also wanted her grandchildren to know what a special book the Bible is and the encouragement that can be found in Gods word. For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

This book is about the urgent need to have time for health. It's about why people don’t exercise, rest or eat healthy food even when they know they need to. Time has become the prescription needed to halt chronic diseases, 30 minutes of physical activity every day is a minimum, but this book argues against telling people to do more. It explains why it’s not laziness, ignorance or lack of motivation that’s the problem for unhealthy lifestyles, and why so many people lack time for their health. The book connects ideas from economics, sociology, political economy and public health to work-family dilemmas, gender and social inequality. It ends by canvassing interventions and actions from the personal, to the workplace, health promotion and urban design.
Outsiders: Five Women Writers Who Changed the World
Lyndall Gordon

Prodigy, visionary, 'outlaw, ' orator and explorer. As society's outsiders, the exceptional subjects of this study inspired a new breed of women--and one another. Finalist of the PROSE Award for Best Book in Literature by the Association of American Publishers Mary Shelley, Emily Bront , George Eliot, Olive Schreiner and Virginia Woolf: they all wrote dazzling books that forever changed the way we see history. In Outsiders, award-winning biographer Lyndall Gordon shows how these five novelists shared more than talent. In a time when a woman's reputation was her security, each of these women lost hers. They were unconstrained by convention, writing against the grain of their contemporaries, prophetically imagining a different future. We have long known the individual greatness of each of these writers, but in linking their creativity to their lives as outcasts, Gordon throws new light on the genius they share. All five lost their mothers in childbirth or at a young age. With no female role model present, they learned from books--and sometimes from an enlightened mentor. Crucially, each had to imagine what a woman could be in order to invent a voice of her own. The passion in their own lives infused their fiction. Writing with passionate intelligence of her own, Gordon reveals that these renegade writers inspired a new breed of women who wished to change a world locked in war, violence, exploitation, and sexual abuse. Gordon's biographies have always shown the indelible connection between life and art: an intuitive, exciting and revealing approach that has been highly praised. In Outsiders, she crafts nuanced portraits of Shelley, Bront , Eliot, Schreiner and Woolf, naming each of these writers as prodigy, visionary, 'outlaw, ' orator, and explorer, and shows how they came, they saw, and they left us changed. Today, following the tsunami of women's protest at widespread abuse, we do more than read them; we listen and live with their astonishing bravery and eloquence.
The Luna Moth. A Lesson on Dying to Live a More Expansive Life

In this "nuanced, discerning account of a life famously flawed in its search for perfection" (The New Yorker), Gordon captures Eliot's "complex spiritual and artistic history . . . with tact, diligence, and subtlety" (Boston Globe). Drawing on recently discovered letters, she addresses in full the issue of Eliot's anti-Semitism as well as the less-noted issue of his misogyny. Her account "rescues both the poet and the man from the simplifying abstractions that have always been applied to him" (The New York Times), and is "definitive but not dogmatic, sympathetic without taking sides. . . . Its voice rings with authority" (Baltimore Sun). Praised by Cynthia Ozick as "daring, strong, psychologically brilliant," Gordon's study remains true to the mysteries of art as she chronicles the poet's "insistent search for salvation."
The Creative PhD

Doctorates awarded based on artefact and exegeses, and enabled through creative-led research, are a minority enrolment which suffer from wildly diverse examination expectations and assumptions about quality. Widening the disciplinary parameters and currency of this kind of doctorate, The Creative PhD is the first book that challenges the standards, structure and value of this research. The authors, themselves leading authorities on doctoral education, break fresh ground by demonstrating that rather than being intrinsically wedded to the creative arts or media studies, arts-based research practice doctorates can transcend traditional humanities subjects, becoming instead a model of organizing knowledge, developing methodologies and presenting research. Offering a critical reflection on the contemporary state of the PhD, the authors probe and reshape creative-led research to increase transparency for doctoral students, supervisors and examiners, inviting readers to access a new pathway to how original research is created, supervised and assessed.

This comparative, global study of violence on the colonial frontier from 1780 to 1820 looks at four regions of the world: the expansion of Britain into the Australian and African continents, the westward and southern expansion of the United States, and the expansion of France in Europe during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It seeks to re-think the past oppression and exploitation of colonized peoples by placing the violence committed against them in a comparative perspective.Violence and massacre were a tool at the disposal of the colonizer, and often used to subjugate unruly populations. In this book four experts specializing in four different regions of the world come together to interrogate the violence committed against indigenous peoples of these countries, and to ask whether this was a new form of violence, or the same that Europeans had always used against conquered peoples? Examining the changing nature of warfare and killing that occurred on colonial frontiers from both a European and indigenous perspective, Empires of Violence shows how race, othering and fear were maintained and buoyed by violence, in spite of prevailing discourses on humanitarianism, civilization and progress.

When Malcolm Lamont and his wife Elizabeth MacDonald came from the Isle of Skye in Scotland to Prince Edward Island in 1829, they founded a family that would spread to western Canada and the southwestern United States: the Lamonts of Lyndale. This work of genealogy and Prince Edward Island history traces Malcolm and Elizabeth's descendants to 2003, when the book was originally published.The book begins by tracing the roots of the family back to the Middle Ages on Skye. Harold MacLeod's lively anecdotes and narrative of the Lamonts and their offspring, as well as genealogical tables, form the main body of the book. The last section is an index of all the names in the book, allowing readers to search for themselves or their ancestors in the Lamont family tree.But this edition of The Lamonts of Lyndale includes a bonus not included in Harold MacLeod's original book: A Biographical Sketch of the Late Rev. Donald McDonald (1892) by Ewen Lamont. The ministry of the charismatic Rev. Donald MacDonald profoundly affected the Lamont family and their offspring. The MacDonaldite movement came to stand for what it meant to be a Scottish Canadian, as attested by the story of Norman MacDonald, a soldier in the First World War, who hearing a MacDonaldite hymn from a nearby tent, thought: "These are my people. I must go up and see who they are." Ewen Lamont's book gives a compelling and readable account of the ministry of this extraordinary man.Whether you are interested in Lamont genealogy, Prince Edward Island history, or the history of Presbyterianism in Canada, this book is for you.
