How to Be a Craftivist is a manifesto for quiet activism: how to tackle issues not with shouting and aggression but with
gentle protest, using the process of ‘making’ to engage thoughtfully in the issues we are about, to influence and effect
change.
Sarah Corbett – professional campaigner and founder of the Craftivist Collective – shares her journey from burnt-out
activist, tired of marching, confrontation and demonizing opposition, towards a more respectful activism: using craft to
contemplate global issues, provoke thought and start conversations rather than arguments; to engage, empower and
encourage people on and offline to become part of change in the face of injustice, inequality and prejudice.
Interwoven with Sarah’s personal stories of causes fought are ideas and suggestions for every novice craftivist. From
how to think about the medium itself, to looking at colour, fonts, size and message, here is inspiration for every detail
of your creation.
In today’s world it’s easy to feel helpless, but here is a book to initiate debates rather than shouting matches, to enable
collaboration in place of confrontation. Gentleness can be a great strength, and quiet action can sometimes speak as
powerfully amid the noise as the loudest voice. And if we want a world that is beautiful, kind and fair… shouldn’t our
activism be beautiful, kind and fair?

A powerful, bold true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix America’s broken system
of justice — from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time.
The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. The prison population has increased from 300,000 in the
early 1970s to more than two million now. One in every 15 people is expected to go to prison. For black men, the most
incarcerated group in America, this figure rises to one out of every three.
Bryan Stevenson grew up a member of a poor black community in the racially segregated South. He was a young
lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and
in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of the US’s criminal
justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young black man who was sentenced to die for a
notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination,
startling racial inequality, and legal brinksmanship — and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

Winner of the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry 2016
There were many things that Hollie McNish didn't know before she was pregnant. How her family and friends would
react; that Mr Whippy would be off the menu; how quickly ice can melt on a stomach. These were on top of the many
other things she didn't know about babies: how to stand while holding one; how to do a poetry gig with your baby as a
member of the audience; how drum'n'bass can make a great lullaby. And that's before you even start on toddlers: how
to answer a question like 'is the world a jigsaw?'; dealing with a ten-hour train ride together; and how children can be
caregivers too.
But Hollie learned.
And she's still learning, slowly. Nobody Told Me is a collection of poems and stories taken from Hollie's diaries; one
person's thoughts on raising a child in modern Britain, of trying to become a parent in modern Britain, of sex,
commercialism, feeding, gender and of finding secret places to scream once in a while.

I've reinvented my career, my interests, my life, many times over the past twenty years. This is the book I
wish I had at the beginning of that long and often volatile journey.
And now the entire world: technology, governments, the shifting landscapes of opportunity and success, are
all turning upside down, forcing us to reinvent as individuals and as a culture. ,Along my own journey I have
read and encountered dozens of other successful leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, and mentors who I have
learned the art of reinvention from.
The journey has been intense. The obstacles were hard fought. And the adventures that led to me now finally
sharing it all in this book has been both painful and exhilarating. I describe specific techniques, share stories,
tell the stories of others, and give the ultimate guide to not only how but why it is critical for people to master
the skills of reinvention.
What I've learned: change is the only constant. Companies decay, technologies disappear, governments
change, relationships change and opportunity is a shifting landscape. Reading the stories and learning the
critical skills taught in Reinvent Yourself is how I found my own way through the chaos of change and onto
the path of new opportunity and success.
Again, this is the book I wish I had in my hands twenty years ago although I am glad that I am writing it now.

Our socio-economic systems continue to grow and evolve. We need to acknowledge that, consequently, our decisions
often fail – they are ineffective and create unexpected side effects. The speed of execution is increasing constantly
and markets and systems respond almost immediately, making decision-making challenging.
There is little or no room for failure.This important new book analyses real world strategy and policy challenges,
addressing the interconnectedness of the markets/systems we live in. It provides a step-by-step approach using
systems thinking to solve complex problems in socio-political as well as business environment. It proposes a technique
with which to better understand the problems and the context in which they arise, and tools to directly inform each
step of the decision-making process.
The book explores the main innovation that systemic thinking introduces – the emphasis on defining the problem
creating system, which is made up of interacting parts, rather than prioritizing events that need immediate fixing.The
case studies, examples and the approach proposed can be used to better understand reality and its complexity, and to
integrate stakeholders for a better solution. Practically, it can be used to identify problems, analyse their boundaries,
design interventions, forecast and measure their expected impacts, implement them and monitor and evaluate their
success/failure. The book touches upon global issues related to policy making and strategic management, as well as
issues related to sustainable development for both the public and private sector.

An extraordinary insight into life under one of the world’s most ruthless and secretive dictatorships – and the story of
one woman’s terrifying struggle to avoid capture/repatriation and guide her family to freedom.
As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee was one of millions trapped by a secretive and brutal communist
regime. Her home on the border with China gave her some exposure to the world beyond the confines of the Hermit
Kingdom and, as the famine of the 1990s struck, she began to wonder, question and to realise that she had been
brainwashed her entire life. Given the repression, poverty and starvation she witnessed surely her country could not be,
as she had been told “the best on the planet”?
Aged seventeen, she decided to escape North Korea. She could not have imagined that it would be twelve years before
she was reunited with her family.
