The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge
Rethink your view of the world with The Teachings of Don Juan, the first book in Carlos Castaneda’s spiritual journey into the world of sorcery…
The Teachings of don Juan is the story of Carlos Castaneda’s extraordinary experiences.
In 1960 Carlos Castaneda was a graduate student when he met Don Juan, a Yaqui Indian feared and shunned by the ordinary folk of the American Southwest because of his unnatural powers. During the next five years don Juan’s arcana knowledge led Castaneda into a world of beauty and terror, ruled by concepts far beyond those of Western civilisation.
Using medicinal herbs Castaneda lived through encounters with disembodied spirits, shamans in the form of huge wolves, and death in the shape of silver crows. Finally, after a night of utter terror in which he knew that his life was threatened by forces which he still cannot fully explain, he gave up his struggle to become a ‘Man Of Knowledge’.
‘It gives a different view of the world and challenges the ideas and beliefs that we have be taught, whilst also providing simple methods to changing the way we interact with the world on a day to day basis.’ – 5* Reader Review

A Different Way to Learn: Neurodiversity and Self-Directed Education
‘If you are a parent worrying whether self-directed education will work for your child, because you have been told that they have special needs which can only be met in the school system – think again’
Neurodivergent children experience and interact with the world differently to many of their peers. Standard educational systems often fail to adapt to their unique strengths and ways of learning. School, and even the act of learning, can become a source of great anxiety and trauma. Self-directed education offers an alternative to traditional schools that can help neurodivergent children develop at their own pace and thrive.Blending theory, practical advice and lived experience, clinical psychologist Naomi Fisher introduces the world of self-directed learning and tailoring the learning environment to your child.
This comprehensive overview of self-directed learning is packed with ideas on how to implement it at home and includes interviews from parents of neurodivergent children on how you can make learning differently work for you and your child

Teaching Yoga Beyond the Poses: A Practical Workbook for Integrating Themes, Ideas, and Inspiration into Your Class
Create yoga class themes with yoga philosophy, inspirational quotes, and simple concepts that inspire and motivate students.New yoga teachers are often taught the poses but not themes or phrases that will make students come back and seasoned instructors often want a fresh approach or new theme to explore. Experienced yoga instructors Sage Rountree and Alexandra DeSiato give yoga teachers tools to find a genuine voice and tap into innate wisdom; offer ready-made, detailed themes to use in classes or home practice; and provide guidance and useful, flexible templates for building a toolkit of authentic themes for future use. The workbook begins with a section on voice, authenticity, emulation, phrasing, practice, repetition, and finding inspiration. While offering guidance for new or experienced teachers so that they feel confident speaking from a place of authority and offering their students memorable themes, the authors explore what it means to be authentic and how teachers can approach authenticity without feeling overly exposed or turning their yoga classes into a therapy session. The second section of the book contains 54 complete themes in template form, so instructors can easily use them in a class. These themes are broken down in chapters such as: yoga philosophy, seasonal themes, meditations, quotes, and spiritual ideas and stories from other traditions that translate well to yoga. Each theme is explored in a way that allows teachers to add their own voice, take, and spin. The final section of the book includes gentle advice and prompts with 54 blank templates, so instructors can create their own themes. With a unique angle and a practical feel, this workbook will appeal to yoga teachers, teacher trainers, and at-home practitioners who are moving to the next level.

Counselling, Class and Politics: Undeclared influences in therapy
Anne’s motivation for writing Counselling, Class and Politics back in 1996, was `to persuade readers to the view that politics and political ideas matter in counselling’. This new edition of the work contains a wide range of commentaries from practioners working in the world of counselling today, who all argue that Anne’s message is as relevant now as it has always been. So too is the driving belief of the author that counselling training, regulation and awareness in general too often fails to acknowledge the political environment that practitioners and their clients inhabit, and its influence on the counselling relationship. Anne’s book, accessible, unashamedly unapologetic and searching in the questions it asks of readers, is still a vibrant, challenging text for any student, practitioner or trainer today.Read more

The Cultural Politics of Emotion
This is a bold take on the crucial role of emotion in politics. Emotions work to define who we are as well as shape what we do and this is no more powerfully at play than in the world of politics. Ahmed considers how emotions keep us invested in relationships of power, and also shows how this use of emotion could be crucial to feminist and queer political movements. Debates on international terrorism, asylum and migration, as well as reconciliation and reparation are explored through topical case studies. In this textbook the difficult issues are confronted head on. New for this edition: a substantial 15,000-word Afterword on ‘Emotions and Their Objects’ which provides an original contribution to the burgeoning field of affect studies; a revised Bibliography; and updated throughout.Read more

Mad World: The Politics of Mental Health (Outspoken by Pluto)
‘A radical antidote to the constraints of our current conceptualisation of mental health’ Dazed
‘Exposes the underlying truth that capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with our wellbeing, and teaches us how to transform the ways we understand madness, illness, and disability to build a better world’ Beatrice Adler-Bolton, co-author of Health Communism
Mental health is a political issue, but we often discuss it as a personal one. How is the current mental health crisis connected to capitalism, racism and other social issues? In a different world, how might we transform the ways that we think about mental health, diagnosis and treatment?
These are some of the big questions Micha Frazer-Carroll asks as she reveals mental health to be an urgent political concern that needs deeper understanding beyond today’s ‘awareness-raising’ campaigns.
Exploring the history of asylums and psychiatry; the relationship between disability justice, queer liberation and mental health; art and creativity; prisons and abolition; and alternative models of care; Mad World is a radical and hopeful antidote to pathologisation, gatekeeping and the policing of imagination.
Micha Frazer-Carroll is a columnist at the Independent. Micha has written for Vogue, HuffPost, Huck, gal-dem and Dazed. She was nominated for the Comment Awards’ Fresh New Voice of the Year Award, and the Observer/Anthony Burgess Award for Arts Criticism.

Tackling Rugby: What Every Parent Should Know
Every week young children are hospitalized on the playing fields of Britain. Yet this data is never collected, nor is there any concerted attempt to work out how to make sport safer. Using meticulous, peer-reviewed research, the book sets out the true risks associated with the sport, raising uncomfortable questions for politicians and the educational authorities. Would parents be so willing to let their children play rugby if they knew that the average risk of serious injury over the course of a season could be at least 17 percent, or nearly one in six?Read more

An Introduction to Pet Bereavement Counselling
This is a must have reference book for anyone who supports or counsels others through pet bereavement. Dawn Murray has over two decades of experience in the field of pet bereavement and she worked at the heart of the industry as a pet undertaker. Pet carers throughout the world who have contacted her for support have found her unique style comforting and inspiring.
Due to demand from fellow counsellors, veterinary staff, psychologists and pet carers she has shared her experience, knowledge and understanding of pet bereavement. This is one of the most comprehensive books ever written about pet bereavement counselling, covering the broad range of topics related to pet loss that pet bereavement counsellors will encounter in the course of their work.
As a born animal lover and an author who’s written widely about animals at war, and the way in which their very presence serves to comfort soldiers in extremis, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The loss of a much loved pet – or military working dog – can be devastating. Dawn’s book does much to help those in need.
Damien Lewis, number one bestselling authorI have been fortunate enough to have had Dawn as a client for almost as long as I have been in practice and her influence has helped to shape the practitioner I am today. I am delighted that, through this book and her guidance, many others may benefit from her experience in this field.
David Gardner-Roberts BVSc PhD MRCVS, ARMAC Vets LtdWith years of experience in this area, and the knowledge and training combined, Dawn is one of the titans of the industry.
Carrie Kearns ACC Dip PBC, VCA, Cert Pet Bereavement BC, Adv Dip BCT, NLP Master PractitionerSo many don’t know where to turn and the support of a pet bereavement counsellor, such as Dawn, can help to navigate that grief with the dignity and hope that is needed with such a loss.
Lindsay Fyffe-Jardine, CEO Edinburgh Dog and Cat HomeThe book is superb and for anyone dealing with the loss of a pet then this book will help them to cope with all the emotions they face on a daily basis.
Mary Burges, Animal Star AwardsDawns’ experience is second to none and is further strengthened by a lifetime in the company of dogs (and the odd cat) and by having been a pet undertaker. She’s seen, and come across, pretty much everything and has utilised all this experience to create a comprehensive insight into what it takes to become a successful pet bereavement counsellor. Genuine warmth and empathy shine throughout the book along with some unexpected humour as well as heartbreak. Full of common sense and direction, I would thoroughly recommend it as a must read for existing or potential pet bereavement counsellors.

All profits from the sale of Dawns book will go to animal welfare charities.
“Coping with the loss of a pet is an event that takes many people by surprise. Surprise at the level of grief they experience. Surprise that they can’t ‘just get over it’. Surprise that they may need to take time off work and surprise that other people just don’t seem to understand the depth of pain they are feeling. Dawn Murray has some wise words for anyone going through the trauma of pet loss and this is a book that will provide a lot of comfort for people at a time when they will most certainly need it.” – K9 Magazine – Ryan O’Meara & Accomplished Author
“As a Military Working Dog Handler, I have taken more than my fair share of loyal companions on their final journey. I have also done the same with pet animals. One thing I do know is that it never gets easier. I will often find one of my companions springing into my mind from nowhere. Sometimes happy memories, often sad. I have found Dawns’ book both insightful and taken some great tips to help both now and in the future. As one of the quotes states; ‘it’s your grief and yours alone’. Remember that in all walks of life.” – RAF Flight Lieutenant Michael ‘Will’ Barrow Author of Buster
”What a fantastic little book!!! The loss of a pet and ultimately a companion can be devastating and very traumatic. The book will help those who have suffered a loss understand the process of loss, bereavement and grieving. As Dawn states: ‘Loss, bereavement and grief are all part of our journey through life and although we have to face the journey alone, we can and do recover.’ This book will definitely help those who have lost a beloved pet understand the journey that they are going to go on, from loss to ultimately acceptance” – Dr Peter Du Toit

Losing My Best Friend: Thoughtful support for those affected by dog bereavement or pet loss
“Remember me with tears and laughter. Remember me though it hurts to do so, because the pain you have is equal to the love we shared. There is no goodbye if you carry me in your heart. Remember all the joy we shared, because there was so much of it for both of us.” Herbie Longfellow Alderdice
Are you a dog owner who is in the process of losing your best friend to illness? Or have you lost your beloved pet and you’re struggling to get over them?
Pet bereavement is tough. Not everyone can, or will, sympathise with you.
After losing her beloved boy Herbie, Jeannie Wycherley found herself lost in grief, struggling to find her way through it.
Too many friends and acquaintances told her she’d ‘get over it’ because he was ‘just a dog’ however, to Jeannie, Herbie was so much more than that. A loving companion. A soulmate. A true character. Her best friend.
She found that the more she articulated her feelings around other pet owners, the more she came to understand just how many of those people had been similarly locked deep in secret mourning for a furry friend. Feelings of guilt, overwhelm, exhaustion—even shame—were common.
And so, she wrote about her experiences. The result, Losing my Best Friend: Thoughtful Support for those Affected by Dog Bereavement or Pet Loss offers practical advice about what to do when your pet passes away, including tips on helping your children or other pets cope with the loss, designing your own ceremony to celebrate your dog’s life, and creating memorials.
In these pages Jeannie Wycherley has created a loving tribute to Herbie and delivers support with a light and loving touch that aims to validate the feelings you’re experiencing.

Your relationship with your pet is special—it’s a bond that is very different than those that human beings share with each other.

Based on the authors’ Grief Recovery Method®, this book addresses the differences in losing a pet, and ultimately, moving on with life.Read more

Responsible Gambling: Primary Stakeholder Perspectives
“Responsible gambling” refers to a range of strategies, initiatives, and activities introduced by gambling regulators, policymakers, and industry operators to reduce gambling-related harms. There is an absence of agreement about the definition of responsible gambling among these parties, and stakeholders’ experiences reflect varied and often conflicting positions about the development, implementation, and maintenance of existing responsible gambling programs. Complicating these issues further, there is little empirical evidence supporting the current crop of responsible gambling activities. Consequently, there is a pressing need to bring together key similarities and differences associated with disparate stakeholder groups.Responsible Gambling: Primary Stakeholder Perspectives will inform and better ground both current and future debates focused on the topic of responsible gambling and its intended outcomes. Chapters address responsible gambling from the perspective of five groups of complementary stakeholders: scientists/researchers; clinicians; gambling operators; public policy makers/regulators; and recovering gamblers. Contributors address responsible gambling through the lens of the Reno Model, an approach that emphasizes the importance of stakeholders working together and using evidence-based methods to reduce gambling-related harms. Building upon and expanding the Reno Model and addressing conflicts and ethical compromises so that these programs can achieve their intended objectives (reducing the worldwide rate of gambling-related harms), Responsible Gambling will be of value to scientists, clinicians, policy makers, regulators, and industry operators interested in responsible gambling strategies and activities.

You Bet Your Life: The Burdens of Gambling
We are a nation of gamblers: pari-mutuel wagering at horse tracks; blackjack in Las Vegas; the NCAA basketball office pool; even day trading on the internet. Gambling is both our national pastime and our predominant cultural metaphor—play the field; beat the odds; take a chance on love. Yet gambling poses serious risks to individuals and to society as a whole.
Neil Isaacs—sports historian, licensed clinical social worker, English professor, and a gambler himself for more than fifty years—seeks to shatter the myths interfering with our understanding of gambling addiction, its causes, and its treatment. He begins by systematically debunking several commonly held beliefs, demonstrating that there is no such thing as the law of averages, that gambling is not inherently sinful, immoral, or criminal, and that money is not always the prime motivator for gamblers.
Isaacs shows how habitual gambling can lead to compulsive gambling, but avoids oversimplifying this condition. Arguing against a undifferentiated interpretation of pathological gambling as a simple impulse control disorder, he draws examples from fiction, film, and his own practice to demonstrate additional ways gambling can be abused. A radical departure from established views, You Bet Your Life identifies the costs—in dollars, people, families, and credit ratings—of society’s failure to address adequately the burdens of gambling.
