Tuberculosis, once a leading cause of death in Europe and North America, was understood to be preventable and even curable by the early twentieth century. Yet despite growing knowledge about the disease and interventions that would slow its spread, tuberculosis deaths among First Nations in Canada remained staggeringly high. Government policies rooted in colonialism exacerbated a tuberculosis epidemic.Wilful Neglect explores the devastating consequences of the Department of Indian Affairs’ failed responses to tuberculosis among First Nations in Canada from 1867 to 1945. Even when medical treatment for tuberculosis became widely available, and despite the codification of the federal government’s obligations in treaties and other legislation, the basic health needs of First Nations remained unmet. The government instead prioritized an assimilationist agenda, including the placement of Indigenous children in residential schools, which became hotbeds for the spread of the infection. Drawing on the department’s own annual reports, memoranda, and budgets over more than seventy years, Jane Thomas traces key moments, decisions, and individuals involved in shaping federal health policy, laying bare the repercusions of racializing a disease.Health policies developed by colonial governments without the involvement of First Nations have always failed. Wilful Neglect demonstrates a direct link between the federal government’s historical health policies and the disparities that continue into the present.

Having only ever experienced a true sexual release through masturbation alone, Jane gradually came to the realisation that many assumptions about female sexuality defy common sense. This book sets out her research work, which involves asking other women how they achieve the orgasms with a lover that are portrayed in erotic fiction. Jane discusses the similarities and differences between her own sexuality and the equivalent male behaviours and responses that she has observed in her male lovers.Jane Thomas's work challenges the many misconceptions and contractions in our beliefs about the orgasms women are assumed to be capable of with a lover. She asks women and their lovers to explain the erotic turn-ons, the anatomy and the stimulation technique involved in female orgasm.Jane has been so grateful to those few individuals who have been willing to comment. She has even learned from the universal silence and drawn her own conclusions from it.

Mapping Motivation for Leadership, co-written with Jane Thomas, is the fourth of a series of seven books that are all linked to the author’s Motivational Map toolkit. Each book builds on a different aspect of personal, team and organisational development.This is a practical guide to leadership in the 21st century and builds on the ‘4+1’ model outlined in the author's original book Mapping Motivation: Unlocking the Key to Employee Energy and Engagement. There is an increasing body of evidence, that the single most important aspect of being a leader relates to managing emotions effectively, and this management goes way beyond simply ‘understanding’ emotional intelligence; it is in fact a practice and one that is intimately connected with personal development and growth, and with energy. Energy, as Mapping Motivation made clear, is synonymous with motivation. The effective leaders of tomorrow will be those who understand their motivators, who regularly measure their motivators, sustain and replenish and maximise their motivators, and who do the same for their employees.Clearly, there is a link here with the book on engagement, for leaders who do so will engage their employees. However, this book not only covers the motivational side of leadership, but also explores in detail the skill sets necessary in the ‘4+1’ model: thinking skills, action skills, team skills and motivational skills plus that indefinable ‘something’ that is a commitment to personal development, so that we as leaders are not trying to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s training as our only internal resource.

She explains the different sexual behaviours men and women employ. She also compares the stimulation and the turn-ons men and women use to achieve orgasm.

Jane Thomas is the author of Nosper.com, WaysWomenOrgasm.org and LearnAboutSexuality.org. This book is foremost a personal project and tells the story of Jane's childhood. It provides insights into Jane's character and formative experiences, which have made her research work possible. The book may also help the reader understand what has motivated Jane to work so hard and for so little reward in such a taboo area of the human experience.Even as a teenager, Jane had questions about sex. Years later when she sought advice, she was shocked by the defensive attitudes and misinformation she met with. Jane has the intellect to challenge the status quo and the courage to demand answers. She differentiates between erotic fiction and the much less popular facts and logic that support a scientific understanding of our sexuality.

Drawing on a broad concept of desire, informed by poststructuralist theorists this book examines the range of Hardy's work. It demonstrates the sustained nature of his thinking about desire, its relationship to the social and symbolic network in which human subjectivity is constituted and art's potential to offer fulfilment to the desiring subject.
