In this new edition of her accessible autoethnography of fat feminist activism in the West, Charlotte Cooper revisits and discusses her activism in the context of recent shifts in the movement. The new preface explores the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on fat people and fat activism and how Black Lives Matter is inspiring new forms of activism. Cooper issues a call to action in Fat Studies and offers alternatives to current public health approaches to Diabetes. What is fat activism and why is it important? To answer this question, Charlotte Cooper presents an expansive grassroots study that traces the forty-year history of international fat activism and grounds its actions in their proper historical and geographical contexts. She details fat activist methods, analyses existing literature in the field, challenges long-held assumptions that uphold systemic fatphobia, and makes clear how crucial feminism, queer theory and anti-racism are to the lifeblood of the movement.

When the baseball pitch on the American Airbase of Lakenheath is dug up, the grave reveals an Anglo-Saxon Knight on his horse, surrounded by children. The Knight had not followed the code of the Brotherhood and was doomed to reside in Neitherland until a Seeker, appointed and aided by Morgan le Fey, could lead him and the children out of Neitherland into the Hereafter, before the Knight's bones are taken away for all the world to see. The Seeker is Matthew, the cooper's son, from the 14th century who meets Edwin, a lonely eleven-year-old boy, the son of a former pilot from the American base. Matthew is a ghost, or, as Edwin says, an imprint of his personality. Matthew is invisible to Edwin's parents and worries them. Isn't an eleven-year-old y too old to have an imaginary friend? Edwin tries to help Matthew solve the tasks and the riddles set by Morgan le Fey when Matthew was taken to Camelot, but time is running out. Matthew's life must hold some clues, Edwin says, and so the boy from the 14th century starts his story: I am Matthew, the cooper's son.

Workplace bullying is an area that has attracted significant press attention throughout the last decade. A variety of well publicized surveys have revealed that this is an issue endemic in working life in Britain; and, at a conservative estimate, over half the working population can expect to experience bullying at work (either directly by being bullied, or through witnessing it) at some stage in their careers. This is now seen to be a disturbing event, with something like a fifth of witnesses and a quarter of direct targets leaving their organizations. This serious damage to individuals has been accorded little direct research in Britain, although it has resulted in court cases brought under health and safety and equal opportunities legislation. The recognition of the problem and the emergence of court cases, have both served to focus employers on the need to deal with the issue. The recent strike vote at Ford in Dagenham, asking the employer to enforce existing anti-harassment policies, highlights the fact that having paper policies is not enough. Workplace Bullying is derived from the largest survey ever carried out on workplace bullying, supported by the CBI, TUC, Federation of Small Businesses, IPD, and the HSE among others. This study covered 5,500 people, but the book goes beyond it to explore all the issues associated with what is becoming a major issue in organizations.
