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

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

Cracking the Code by Stephen Damiani

$34.99 AUD

Category: Family Health | Reading Level: General Adult

This story of a father's search to find a diagnosis, and ultimately a cure, for his son's mystery disease is an inspiration that has set the world of genetic medicine and research abuzz with the possibilities for the future. After Cracking the Code screened on Australian Story Stephen Damiani and his ex traordinary ordinary family, have been inundated with messages of support for Mission Massimo. Stephen has a background in construction economics and risk management. He teamed with geneticist Ryan Taft to map his family's genome in an attempt to discover the cause of his son's illness and in the process developed a diagnostic tool that will revolutionise diagnoses and treatments of diseases as complex and rare as Massimo's leukodystrophy to widespread diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previously, trying to find a specific gene mutation that might be responsible for a disease was a million times harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Stephen's suggestion that Ryan align the genomes, or DNA blueprints, of himself, his wife Sally as well as Massimo, to find any unique variations and thereby create a smaller haystack was previously untried. Stephen convinced Massimo's neurologist, Dr Rick Leventer at Melbourne's RCH, that it was just a case of technology, statistics, data, and money, but that it could be done. Once Taft was able to locate and isolate the specific genetic mutation of Massimo's DARS gene, the hunt was on to find other children with the same genetic mutation so that the diagnoses could be confirmed. With the help of Adeline Vanderver at the Washington DC-based Centre for Genetic Medicine and her Myelin Disorders Program they were able to locate several other children with the DARS mutation and have now moved on to the next phase of Mission Massimo, finding a cure. Cracking the Code is simultaneously a wonderful family memoir and the story of some mind-blowing discoveries in medicine. ...Show more
