Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thin Wire: A Mother's Journey Through her Daughter's Heroin Addiction is an honest and intimate account of heroin addiction told by both mother and daughter. Amber is introduced to drugs and becomes addicted without her mother's knowledge. She meets a dealer who feeds her habit. Whilst living together, they are raided by the police. Bailed to her mother's address with a £200-a-day addiction, Amber doesn't think her family will accept her back when they discover the truth. When she's charged by the police with dealing class A drugs and accepting stolen goods, she fears she'll go to prison. Trying to feed her habit alone, Amber meets a fellow addict who offers to introduce her to prostitution. The prospect terrifies her, but will her mother help her?An unflinching story that looks at drug addiction from two different sides, Thin Wire will appeal to a diverse range of readers, in particular fans of autobiographies and memoirs, and is remiscent of Melvin Burgess' Junk. The book's concluding section offers two sets of personal guidelines; one for addicts, the other for parents or partners of addicts, while the in-depth, harrowing real life story vividly illustrates the difficulties of overcoming addiction. In a society where 50% of teenagers experiment with drugs, Amber is every mother's child. She could be yours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation of emotional intelligence is self- awareness. How do you learn to become more self-aware? The Journey Called YOU takes the reader on a journey into the world of self-awareness and self-wonder. It shows you how to discover yourself, to know yourself better, to accept yourself without judgment, and to make decisions that honor the highest form of you. In the end you feel more confident and grounded in yourself enabling you to be more authentic, manage yourself and your emotions more effectively, and lead others more assertively. There is as much to wonder about within you as there is in the world outside of you. Most of us look outside ourselves to find the answers. We look for pleasure in chasing goals and trying to accumulate stuff under the illusion that collecting things is what life is all about. We spend our time either berating and harshly judging ourselves or comparing ourselves to others to determine our successfulness based on some predetermined idea of what success is supposed to look like without really considering our own answers. In this book, you will learn how to discover your true nature and unleash the greatness within you. You will learn how to release yourself from the limiting beliefs and obstacles that hold you back from being all that is possible for you to become. You will learn how to create a vision for success and liberate yourself from the rules imposed by society and others so that you can make your own rules about how to live your life. And you will learn how to be authentically you, how to come to a place where you feel grounded in being you so that you feel comfortable in your own skin. You feel good about being you, you enjoy your life, and feel confident about the choices you make. As you increase your self-awareness, you access the power of choice and are better able to manage yourself and effectively lead others. This book shows you how to live a life that empowers you to be who you really are. A mixture of teaching tales, coaching tips, journaling exercises, and narrative divided into eight chapters, this eloquently written, easy-to-read book is designed to help you understand and accept yourself so you can make decisions every day that move you closer to the happy and fulfilled life you desire. You will learn how to use your personal power to free yourself to be you. After all, as Julie points out, "You are the most important person in your life! Without you, what do you have?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Road Movie Book is the first comprehensive study of an enduring but ever-changing Hollywood genre, its place in American culture, and its legacy to world cinema. The road and the cinema both flourished in the twentieth century, as technological advances brought motion pictures to a mass audience and the mass produced automobile opened up the road to the ordinary American. When Jean Baudrillard equated modern American culture with 'space, speed, cinema, technology' he could just as easily have added that the road movie is its supreme emblem. The contributors explore how the road movie has confronted and represented issues of nationhood, sexuality, gender, class and race. They map the generic terrain of the road movie, trace its evolution on American television as well as on the big screen from the 1930s through the 1980s, and, finally, consider road movies that go off the road, departing from the US landscape or travelling on the margins of contemporary American culture. Movies discussed include: * Road classics such as It Happened One Night, The Grapes of Wrath, The Wizard of Oz and the Bob Hope-Bing Crosby Road to films * 1960's reworkings of the road movie in Easy Rider and Bonnie and Clyde * Russ Meyer's road movies: from Motorpsycho! to Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! * Contemporary hits such as Paris Texas, Rain Man, Natural Born Killers and Thelma and Louise * The road movie, Australian style, from Mad Max to the Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
