** Eastern Eye's Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2023 ** The UK is grappling with big questions about belonging, equality and the legacies of Empire and Colonialism. We've been here before. Embracing a broader history that encompasses all British people, The Shoulders We Stand On is fundamental to a better understanding of the past and gives many more people who fought for our future a voice in the present. 'One of the most important books I've ever read . . . this history matters and should never, ever, be forgotten' Dr Priya Atwal, Royals and Rebels Have you heard of the Indian Workers' Association? The Grunwick Strike? The Brixton Black Women's Group? The Battle of Brick Lane? If the answer is no, you're not alone. The Shoulders We Stand On tells the stories of ten remarkable movements, campaigns and organisations led by Black and Brown people across Britain from the sixties to the eighties that fought against racism and capitalism and impacted the way we live now. Researcher and historian Preeti Dhillon wants us to reclaim the history that has been kept from us, and use these vital movements and inspirational moments to better understand the UK we live in today and how change happens. There is a long and deep history of activism by Black and Brown people spanning the UK. Their stories can inspire all of us to make a difference, just as they did. The Shoulders We Stand On is a book of hope. Hope that together we can make a difference, that together we are powerful, and that we don't have to tackle society's challenges alone. We're not alone, we've been here before and this is the book we all need now. 'A vital contribution to our culture . . . This is beautiful storytelling' Mona Arshi, Somebody Loves You Filled with inspiring narratives, Preeti Dhillon uncovers crucial moments from our history. If you loved the books Natives and Brit(ish), the TV series Small Axe or the film Pride, don't miss The Shoulders We Stand On. Autorid: Preeti Dhillon
Behind the Throne is, above all, a history of family life. They ate, entertained their friends and worried about money. Henry VIII kept tripping over his dogs. George II threw his son out of the house. James I had to cut back on the drink bills. The great difference is that royal families had more help with their lives than most. Charles I maintained a household of 2,000. Victoria's medical establishment alone consisted of thirty doctors, three dentists and a chiropodist. Even today, Elizabeth II keeps a full-time staff of 1,200. A royal household was a community, a vast machine. Everyone, from James I's Master of the Horse down to William IV's Assistant Table Decker, was there to smooth the sovereign's path through life while simultaneously confirming their status. Here, Adrian Tinniswood uncovers the reality of five centuries of life at the English court, taking you on a remarkable journey, exploring life as it was lived by clerks and courtiers and clowns and crowned heads. Behind the Throne is a true domestic history of the royal household, a reconstruction of life behind the throne. 'The most interesting and informative book on British royalty for many years' Literary Review Autorid: Adrian Tinniswood

Misunderstandings lead to stigma, mislabeling, and ineffective responses that only reinforce harm or hopelessness. For students, educators, and mental health professionals, the challenge lies in distinguishing what is truly a behavioral disorder from what is simply human struggle.

Drawing from psychological research and real-world studies, it breaks down the underlying factors that shape such personalities while helping readers recognize patterns without judgment or fear. Through balanced explanations and real examples, this resource bridges the gap between academic theory and practical awareness, empowering readers to recognize, interpret, and respond to these behaviors with clarity and confidence.Inside, readers will learn how to:Identify consistent behavioral patterns through psychological and situational lenses.Understand the biological and environmental factors that influence emotional detachment.Distinguish between common myths and scientifically supported facts.Improve communication and professional judgment in dealing with challenging behaviors.Develop insight that enhances empathy, awareness, and critical thinking.Whether you are a student seeking to understand human behavior, a professional in psychology or law, or simply a curious reader looking for clarity, this modern guide offers the knowledge and perspective you need.

"Sassy, streetwise Sammy is falling through the cracks. Neglected by an alcoholic mother, the problems she endures at school and home lead her to act out, seeking attention from unseemly adults when what she wants most is protection. Meanwhile, in a small Eastern European village, sweet Nico is about to turn 13. As her family falls upon desperate times, her father receives an offer of money to marry her off. But when she's shuttled across the border into Ireland, she and Sammy find one another in a suburban brothel that is to be their new 'home.' As Nico and Sammy journey into this dark underbelly and out the other side, their friendship forms a potent bond. Heartbreaking and breathtakingly beautiful, Cloud Girls exposes the failings of polite society and the cruelty that exists beneath its surface, yet reminds us that goodness and love can flourish in the darkest times"-- Autorid: Lisa Harding
