""A tango with lust, a shower with misery, a cross examination of trust, then a peek through the clouds at isolation's desolating view, while forgetting the milk from the front of the checkout queue. A collection of poems to float idly through. To take you away from the day, or remind you we all share the same head space.""

Canada's history of intense constitutional debate is often depicted as a source of national embarrassment – a diversion from more sensible endeavours. Misrecognized Materialists tells a different story. Beginning with the Rowell-Sirois hearings of the Great Depression and concluding with the national unity wars of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Matt James details how groups representing marginalized constituencies – women, working-class people, and ethnocultural minorities – were able to use the Canadian constitutional arena to pursue traditionally neglected aspirations and concerns. With concrete illustrations and case studies, James questions the common tendency to interpret recognition struggles as departures from traditional "materialist" priorities such as economic security and personal safety. Ultimately, he argues that such materialist priorities were and are, in fact, at the heart of the fight for recognition for many marginalized groups.A book with provocative implications for students and scholars of social movements and identity politics, Misrecognized Materialists offers a fresh and important perspective on Canadas constitutional struggles over civic symbolism and identity.

On a rainy morning, a father and son bond over a walk through a field full of freshly formed ponds teeming with tadpoles. In this tender reflection on the fleeting rhythms of the natural world and the enduring love of family, a boy and his father spend a morning exploring an ephemeral pond, a delicate nursery formed by rainfall, perfect for sheltering tadpoles from predators as they grow. The boy's father doesn't live with him anymore, and the ponds may only be temporary, but together they make memories that just might last a lifetime. With Tadpoles, Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winning author and illustrator Matt James draws from his own memories as a parent and as a child to tell a wistful story that will be instantly recognizable to any families sharing memories of exploring together. For an extra treat, additional material at the back of the book enthusiastically outlines the habitats and life cycles that make up these special amphibian spaces.

Imagine how different your life would be if you were free from your baggage, your limitations, and your pain? As a therapist, imagine having an effective tool to help your clients become free of depression, PTSD and anxiety within hours rather than years?In Mental and Emotional Release(R), Dr. Matt James introduces an incredible therapeutic process--MER-- proven to be effective in treating everything from bedwetting to bulimia, PTSD to migraines within hours, not years. "This is the type of result we all want for all of our patients. But frankly, before I started introducing MER to my patients, I rarely saw it -- and definitely didn't see it happening as quickly as this." -- Dr. Larry Momaya, psychiatrist Written in a language both professionals and non-professionals can understand, Mental and Emotional Release(R) offers real life case studies, an overview of MER and its foundation, step by step scripts to follow, and clinical efficacy studies comparing MER to other therapies. "It's straight-forward and targeted. Patients don't have to re-live any traumas from the past to resolve them, and they don't have to go into deep hypnotic trance. For 80-85% of my patients, MER gives tremendous relief from their symptoms in the very first session." --Dr. Patrick Scott, psychologist
First Impressions: Off Screen Conversations with a Bachelor on Race, Family, and Forgiveness
Matt James, the first Black bachelor on ABC's beloved television show, The Bachelor, shares his views on the controversial topics that defined his season and confronts matters of race, opportunity, and his biracial identity head on. When The Bachelor franchise announced Matt James as the first Black lead, it was celebrated as long-overdue progress on the primetime show. America fell in love with Matt--the Christian, former NFL athlete, and nonprofit CEO--who charmed millions of viewers each week. But the off-screen conversations around the show revealed the realities and inescapable challenges of being Black in America and the depth of racism that still exists. On the show, Matt could only go so far in sharing his own story with America. In First Impressions, Matt shares his views on controversial topics like race and opportunity that defined his season on The Bachelor. Matt lives at the intersection of these important issues and shares the wisdom his experience has granted him. Matt describes the joys and difficulties of being the youngest of two Black sons, raised by a single, working-class, white mother in Raleigh, North Carolina. He elaborates on the spiritual closeness and sense of duty he felt for his mother, but also the complex relationships he had with the many male figures in his life: his prejudiced, Italian grandfather, who had trouble accepting Matt as his own; his father, whose womanizing and petty crime put strain on the family; and his older brother, who was Matt's protector in youth, but who struggled with the long shadow of their father's legacy. Simultaneously inspirational and informative, First Impressions will leave readers with a deeper understanding of the life experiences that prepared Matt for such a divisive moment in television history.

This lavish book, a feast of nostalgia, celebrates the 60-year heritage of the British Touring Car Championship. Anyone who has ever enjoyed touring car racing as a participant, spectator or television viewer will treasure this book. * The 1950s. The British Saloon Car Championship was inaugurated in 1958 and from the start it was super-competitive, ending in a tie that was resolved by a shoot-out in favour of Jack Sears. * The 1960s. There were three Mini champions but mainly this was a Ford era, epitomised by Lotus Cortinas (with Jim Clark ever spectacular) and big Falcons, Galaxies and Mustangs from America. * The 1970s. Smaller classes came to the fore in this decade, with three drivers sharing seven titles — Bill McGovern took three in Sunbeam Imps while two apiece went to Bernard Unett (Chrysler Avenger GT) and Richard Longman (Mini 1275GT). * The 1980s. Three drivers also bestrode this decade but in a wider range of cars, including Mazda RX-7, Alfa Romeo GTV, Rover Vitesse and Ford Sierra XR4i; Win Percy and Andy Rouse each took three titles, Chris Hodgetts two. * The 1990s. Overseas drivers arrived in force to mix it with home-grown stars during the highly competitive Super Touring years, the decade’s champions including Joachim Winkelhock (BMW 318is), Frank Biela (Audi A4 quattro), Alain Menu (Renault Laguna), Rickard Rydell (Volvo S40) and Laurent Aïello (Nissan Primera). * The 2000s. Vauxhalls were the star cars, taking six titles, while the decade brought three double champions in the form of James Thompson (Vauxhall Astra), Matt Neal (Honda Integra) and Fabrizio Giovanardi (Vauxhall Vectra VXR). * The 2010s. Yet more variety and brilliant racing has characterised the current decade, with Gordon Shedden becoming the winningest driver with three titles in Honda Civics.

Ho'oponopono: Your Path to True Forgiveness

Ho'oponopono: Your Path to True Forgiveness

Ho'oponopono is not about the other person. It's about you. Ho'oponopono is known as the ancient Hawaiian forgiveness process. But, according to Dr. Matt James, that's not quite accurate. "Ho'oponopono is about release. Releasing pain from the past that enslaves you in the present. Releasing old perceptions of those you love, so your relationships are alive and fresh. Even releasing those who have died so your grief can shift into a new appreciation." Through consistent use of practices like ho'oponopono, ancient Hawai'ians were almost completely devoid of mental and emotional diseases. They knew what modern medical science has since verified: that holding a grudge affects you not only emotionally, but is also related to physical issues like heart disease, compromised immune systems, and increased stress. This book will show you: -Why emotional baggage is so toxic physically, and how to remove it -How holding grudges sabotages your dreams, and how to release any resentment -Why your relationships become stale, and how to bring vibrancy back to them -How to turn your grieving into love and joyful acceptance "Now that science understands the importance of forgiveness and release, many teachers and trainers are promoting ho'oponopono. Their intentions are good, but they miss the mark. It's not just about the words. For true healing, you need to understand how to tap the energy of ho'oponopono." Modern teachers often streamline the process of ho'oponopono, but in doing so, they leave out elements that ancient Hawaiians knew were critical. In Ho'oponopono: Your Path to True Forgiveness, Dr. Matt reveals those elements, and shows you step by step how to use them for total healing. Few teachers who talk about ho'oponopono have the extensive background Dr. Matt James has in the practice. Dr. Matt is privileged to carry on the 28th generation of Huna- the ancient practice of energy work, empowerment and flexibility of the Spirit, Mind and Body- and its teachings. He also wrote the dissertation for his doctorate in psychology on ho'oponopono and its effectiveness. He has practiced ho'oponopono and taught it to thousands of students for over 20 years.
