See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Violence by Jess Hill

$32.99 AUD

Category: Relationships

At the office of Safe Steps, Victoria's dedicated 24/7 family violence response call centre, phone counsellors receive a call every three minutes. Many women are repeat callers- on average, they will go back to an abusive partner eight times before leaving for good. 'You must get so frustrated when you think a woman's ready to leave and then she decides to go back,? I say. 'No,' replies one phone counsellor, pointedly. 'I'm frustrated that even though he promised to stop, he chose to abuse her again.' Women are abused or killed by their partners at astonishing rates- in Australia, almost 17 per cent of women over the age of fifteen - one in six - have been abused by an intimate partner. In this confronting and deeply researched account, journalist Jess Hill uncovers the ways in which abusers exert control in the darkest - and most intimate - ways imaginable. She asks- What do we know about perpetrators? Why is it so hard to leave? What does successful intervention look like? What emerges is not only a searing investigation of the violence so many women experience, but a dissection of how that violence can be enabled and reinforced by the judicial system we trust to protect us. Combining exhaustive research with riveting storytelling, See What You Made Me Do dismantles the flawed logic of victim-blaming and challenges everything you thought you knew about domestic and family violence. ...Show more

The User's Manual to Your Body by Andrew Renaut; John Aronis

$27.95 AUD

Category: General Health

Your body is the most sophisticated thing in the Universe, and you should view it as your most treasured possession. But you did not arrive in this world with a user's manual that tells you how your body works, particularly in relation to the food you put into it, and what goes wrong when you do things differently to how you have evolved.Two thirds of western society are either overweight or suffering from obesity. This is a potent source of unhappiness, extending in many to anxiety, stress and clinical depression. But there's also a significantly increased risk of serious diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis and diabetes. If you contract any of these there's a very good chance you will die prematurely.Statistics show that what we are currently doing is clearly not working. And that's because people simply don't know or have been given the wrong information.The User's Manual For Your Body provides in simple terms everything you need to know. ...Show more

The focus is on natural practices that aim to prevent disease or return the body to health with non-inva sive methods. Alternative medicines attempt to heal the body as a whole rather than exclusively focus and treat the symptoms of a disease. A growing number of traditionally trained physicians practice integrative medicine today. The use of alternative medicine in developed countries is significant and increasing. Complementary therapies are often used in palliative care or by practitioners attempting to manage chronic pain in patients. ...Show more

Detox Guide by Stefan Mager

Category: General Health | Series: Aracaria Guides Ser.

Toxins are pathogens that damage cells, they are poisons that harm the body. Our bodies are naturally adept in filtering out poisons, but problems arise when many toxins are consistently introduced over a length of time. These could be alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, caffeine or sugar. Environmental poison s increasingly impact on our bodies. These toxins include pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals used in growing food. Smog and air pollution, synthetic food additives, artificial sweeteners and water impurities can all enter our bodies, sometimes without our knowledge. It is estimated that we are exposed to more than 70,000 different chemicals, and 2,000 new ones are inrroduced every year. Toxins can build up in our bodies, damage our organs, pass into the blood and disrupt natural chemical balances, resulting in diminished energy, illness and ultimately life-threatening disease. We can substantially overcome these issues with an informed diet that strengthens the body, takes stress from the digestive system and helps eliminate toxins. This Guide provides a helpful overview and highlights lifestyle changes which will improve overall health and well being. ...Show more

How the Pill Changes Everything: Your Brain on Birth Control by Sarah E. Hill

$32.99 AUD

Category: General Health

'It's time for all of us to join together to ask science for some new choices and for more information about what happens to us with the choices we have. We shouldn't have to change who we are to protect ourselves from pregnancy, and we should know enough about how our own bodies work to recognize that this is exactly what we're doing when we go on the birth control pill' Hormonal contraception is something most women will use at some point during their lifetime. But the reach of the pill goes far beyond the small number of targeted effects we take it for. It affects almost every system in our body. Column inches and anecdotal conversations prove there are many questions about the pill and its effects, yet until now we have known very little about it, in part because research on our brains and our bodies was conducted almost exclusively on men. In this trailblazing book, expert psychologist Dr Hill reveals the latest science on the Pill, and how it's changing women and the world for better and for worse. Did you know that the Pill not only creates a different version of yourself, but can change your brain, remove a key feature of your stress response, potentially increase your risk of depression and even have the ability to fundamentally change your mate selection? How the Pill Changes Everything will open your eyes to all this and more, putting you in position of power so that you can understand the risks, weigh up the costs and make smarter, more informed choices about your health and hormones. ...Show more

Pain and Prejudice: A Call to Arms for Women and Their Bodies by Gabrielle Jackson

$29.99 AUD

Category: General Health

Fourteen years after being diagnosed with endometriosis, Gabrielle Jackson couldn't believe how little had changed in the treatment and knowledge of the disease. In 2015, her personal story kick-started a worldwide investigation into the disease by The Guardian; thousands of women got in touch to tell t heir own stories and many more read and shared the material. What began as one issue led Jackson to explore how women - historically and through to the present day - are under-served by the systems that should keep them happy, healthy and informed about their bodies.Pain and Prejudice is a vital testament to how social taboos and medical ignorance keep women sick and in anguish. The stark reality is that women's pain is not taken as seriously as men's. Women are more likely to be disbelieved and denied treatment than men, even though women are far more likely to be suffering from chronic pain.In a potent blend of personal memoir and polemic, Jackson confronts the private concerns and questions women face regarding their health and medical treatment. Pain & Prejudice, finally, explains how we got here, and where we need to go next.'A major contribution to feminist writing of the 21st century' Caroline de Costa, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, James Cook University'Gabrielle Jackson deploys facts to tear away the destructive myths that surround women's health' Lenore Taylor, Editor, Guardian Australia'This book could not be more timely or important.'

Read Again Without Glasses by Leo Angart

$32.99 AUD

Category: Health & Wellbeing

Leo Angart is a business consultant, author and trainer. Having worn glasses for more than 25 years he writes from personal experience. It has now been more than 19 years since he threw away his glasses. In this follow up to Improve Your Eyesight Naturally, Leo concentrates on curing presbyopia, the ina bility to focus on near objects. He explains what presbyopia is and how you can tone your eye muscles, release tension and build up energy in order to regain your natural eyesight. Vision Training is based on the presupposition that clear vision is a natural state and you can achieve natural clear vision via simple exercises. There are three main principles involved in Vision Training: Belief and emotions - believing that it is possible for you to have control over your eyes and restore your vision to normal Physical training of the eye muscles - when you wear glasses your eyes will automatically adjust to the lenses you wear Relaxation - natural clear eyesight is effortless. Many of our vision problems are due to functional factors such as constant focus on near work. To regain natural clear vision you need to learn to relax your eyes. Exercise or relaxation alone will have an effect, but the real progress comes when all three of the above principles are used together. The book includes simple vision tests that you can use yourself to verify your level of vision and monitor your improvements. The DVD that accompanies the book includes instructions and demonstrations. ...Show more
