        Body Work

        The Radical Power of Personal Narrative

        by Melissa Febos,

        In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and writing guide, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the challenges it presents. How do we write about the relationships that have formed us? How do we describe our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean to have your writing, or living, dismissed as "navel-gazing"-or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong? Drawing on her journey from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professor-via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia-Melissa Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower readers and writers alike, offering ideas-and occasional notes of caution-to anyone who has ever hoped to see their true self reflecting back from the open page.

        Class, work and whiteness

        Race and settler colonialism in Southern Rhodesia, 1919–79

        by Nicola Ginsburgh

        This book offers the first comprehensive history of white workers from the end of the First World War to Zimbabwean independence in 1980. It reveals how white worker identity was constituted, examines the white labouring class as an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous formation comprised of both men and women, and emphasises the active participation of white workers in the ongoing and contested production of race. White wage labourers' experiences, both as exploited workers and as part of the privileged white minority, offer insight into how race and class co-produced one another and how boundaries fundamental to settler colonialism were regulated and policed. Based on original research conducted in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, this book offers a unique theoretical synthesis of work on gender, whiteness studies, labour histories, settler colonialism, Marxism, emotions and the New African Economic History.

        The Anatomy of Time – Self-Management for Doctors

        A Guide to Effectively Prepare Time Slots

        by Alexander Ghanem

        Doctors fnd themselves caught be­tween the growing demands of having to learn more and more plus physical and mental stress, and the needs of a fulfll­ing private life. Previously, there was no self­help guide focused on how to effec­tively improve the well­being of physi­cians (and patients). Doctors fnd themselves caught be­tween the growing demands of having to learn more and more plus physical and mental stress, and the needs of a fulfll­ing private life. Previously, there was no self­help guide focused on how to effec­tively improve the well­being of physi­cians (and patients). Over the course of their careers, physi­cians often lose momentum, become exhausted and subsequently lack meaning in their life. This can even cul­minate in burnout. To prevent this, it is important to continually refocus, adapt­ing your goals to circumstances. With this in mind, time management for phy­sicians becomes more than just normal planning.
