From the crisis of birth to the crisis of death, each person's life is defined by the crises experienced and the ways in which the resulting chaos is resolved. As universally experienced events, our personal identities are influenced by the past crises that mold and shape our view of ourselves and our relationships with others. Chaos, as the inevitable result of the crisis state, allows us to see our lives in new and unique ways unbounded by our past limitations. While some individuals exit the maelstrom of a crisis with apparent ease, other individuals seem to live in the chaos of perpetual crisis never fully exiting the whirlpool of emotions and never fully experiencing the calm after the multiple storms that seem to continually confront them. Written jointly by a clinical psychologist (Cappelletty) and an ethical philosopher (Màdera), this book will help both the individuals facing a crisis as well as those who wish to help them resolve the crisis and move forward. Based on psychological, medical and philosophical research and practice, this examination of crisis and chaos will help the suffering person in love and life.

On the frigid coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, two families find themselves in the cold water of turbulent times. One, a human family, is immersed in a sea of misdirected emotions and the other, a killer whale family, is faced with the consequence of human interference. Both families are split apart on the rocks of life and heading straight for a collision course.Young Charlie Newhook and his clan were struggling fishermen, who lived under a continual cloud of brooding storms brought on by blinded emotions. The immaturity of a son to understand his family's situation and the inability by the father to express his feelings, introduces a perfect storm of discontent.Cultis, the renegade killer whale, is the product of humanity's quest for greed. Taken from the freedom of the sea, he becomes an uncontrollable force of terror, hell-bent on destroying everything in its path. Blinded by the thirst for revenge, blood is freely spilled on the path of reconciliation, in hopes of shedding the weight of antiquated ways. In a sea of uncertainty, the Newhook clan and the pod of killer whales finally collide, to find unexpected redemption upon the cold-blooded waters of Newfoundland.

Against the background of broad brush strokes of Nepal's history and geography, David Hawker tells a dramatic story. After 20 years working in Nepal, Nurse Ellen Findlay saw an opportunity to go and attempt to meet the desperate needs of people living in the remote and inaccessible mountains of Nepal. With vision, determination and bravery, she and surgeon Mike Smith pioneered outreach into some of Nepal's most isolated and poverty-stricken communities. For 25 years, 7-10 day surgical, medical and dental camps were organised, treating more than 100,000 sick people during civil war and political upheaval, many in places with no roads or airstrips. Finally, after the massive earthquake of 2015, specialist gynaecological and ear centres were established to provide ongoing treatment and training for Nepali clinicians.

Anonymous threatening letters, hamstrung horses, arson attacks, beatings, 'rattenings', bombings, shootings and murders; all at the hands of trade union thugs, orchestrated by William Broadhead, the tyrannical saw grinders' union leader. Such is the folklore of the Sheffield Outrages. However, acts of intimidation against 'obnoxious' workers and defiant employers stretched beyond Sheffield and across many trades. The story of the Sheffield Outrages is not just about the infamy of William Broadhead and the saw grinders, it is about a way of life in 19th century Sheffield; it is about conflict between hard-working skilled men and their exploitative masters; it is about a time of transition in industrial relations and the development of trade unionism. The story of the Sheffield Outrages is a significant and important aspect of Sheffield's social history and for far too long has been an understated one.
