Book Description
Unremarkable In Light Do you believe the old adage that whatever does not kill you will make you stronger? Earl believes this but his belief has never been put to any challenge until now. This is Earl's story of resiliance and recovery. He is a grown man now but as a child Earl's abusive step father came very close to ending his young life. The abuses and long healed scars that Earl and his mother suffered then still haunt him today more than thirty years later. This is the story of how even the most quiet voice has a story of triumph to share. From those dark days of his youth until now Earl has lived a simple and solitary life. He lives alone, has a few good friends, and has always worked his same job with quiet diligence. Earls quiet and undisturbed life is about to take a turn. Family friend Ben is having some very troubled times of his own. Ben is the son of the woman who salvaged Earls own childhood so many years earlier. Ben has no choice but to turn to his friend Earl for help. Is Earl strong enough to be of help to Ben? Can his own childhood and adult experiences guide him to help Ben and Bens young son James through this turmoil that they are now facing? Can he let go of his deep want for seclusion in his isolated lifestyle and let them in? Earl and Ben and James boldly forge a new future together and find comfort through past shadows that have brought them to this uncertain present. Only from their darkest moments are they able to find strength and to envision the remarkable future they may have ahead together. This is a story of recovery from the unseen scars of childhood which can last long into adulthood. More than that it is a story of the whispered triumph of the love that binds people together to become family.

Book Description
Why is the term "openly gay" so widely used but "openly straight" is not? What are the unspoken assumptions behind terms like "male nurse," "working mom," and "white trash"? Offering a revealing and provocative look at the word choices we make every day without even realizing it, Taken for Granted exposes the subtly encoded ways we talk about race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, social status, and more. In this engaging and insightful book, Eviatar Zerubavel describes how the words we use - such as when we mark "the best female basketball player" but leave her male counterpart unmarked-provide telling clues about the things many of us take for granted. By marking "women's history" or "Black History Month," we are also reinforcing the apparent normality of the history of white men. When we mark something as being special or somehow noticeable, that which goes unmarked-such as maleness, whiteness, straightness, and able-bodiedness-is assumed to be ordinary by default. Zerubavel shows how this tacit normalizing of certain identities, practices, and ideas helps to maintain their cultural dominance-including the power to dictate what others take for granted. A little book about a very big idea, Taken for Granted draws our attention to what we implicitly assume to be normal-and in the process unsettles the very notion of normality.

Book Description
Are you ready to become extraordinary? Ask the best in the world the single greatest secret to success, and they’ll sit back in their chair, put their feet up on the desk, and take a long thoughtful pause. With their hands folded behind the crown of their head, they may start to gently chuckle to themselves, because they know: Seeking the “secret to success” is the wrong approach. Many are told that gaining success can only happen through magic or luck. Success is often described as a location one arrives at—a status gained through mere magic or luck. However, extraordinary success cannot be distilled down to something as fickle as luck; it requires more. Jeremy Ryan Slate is the founder of Top 100 podcast “Create Your Own Life,” where he hosts conversations with Indy 500 winners, NY Times best selling authors, platinum recording artists, billionaires, even the former director of the CIA—some of the highest performers in the world. After studying these interviews, Slate has discovered a common thread: these individuals embodied certain characteristics that led them to be extraordinary. He shares his findings in Unremarkable to Extraordinary, which shows motivated individuals how to: See and use adversity as a tool for growth Seek the biggest, scariest goals imaginable Outline a personal, individualized measurement of success Direct and share their own story Be radically responsible for their own success According to Slate, becoming extraordinary takes time and work, but after learning the core elements of success, anyone can go from Unremarkable to Extraordinary.

Book Description
Redesigning the Unremarkable is a timely and necessary reminder that the often neglected elements and spaces of our built environment – from trash bins, seats, stairways, and fences to streets, bikeways, underpasses, parking lots, and shopping centres – must be thoughtfully redesigned to enhance human and planetary health. Using the lens of sustainable, salutogenic, and playable design, in this inspiring book, Miller and Cushing explore the challenges, opportunities, and importance of redesigning the unremarkable. Drawing on global research, theory, practical case studies, photographs, and personal experiences, Redesigning the Unremarkable is a vital text – a doer’s guide – for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners wanting to transform and positively reimagine our urban environment.

Book Description
This is essentially a love story of the Great War inspired by a recently unearthed family collection of more than 100 letters, running to more than 240 pages, written between 1915 and 1919 by Fred Allwood to his sweetheart Phyllis James. What these letters offer us is incredible detail about the life that he led for over 3 years on the Western Front. Written as historical fiction, the main characters and events are portrayed with historical accuracy and Freds letters, with their minutiae of detail, are woven into the story in their original form. His words tell the story, not of the fighting and the dreadfulness of the conflict but of his love, his doubts and his fears. The story traces four principal characters, real people from the Kalgan River near Albany in Western Australia, and tells of how the war impacted on them all and those around them. I am aware that other authors have drawn on primary sources to tell of such war experiences but by creating a narrative from real events and including such a volume of primary material I hope this work will bring a different perspective to such an immense event that is looming in our consciousness with the approach of the ANZAC centenary in Australia.
