Author: RICHARD. STUTTLE
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781910903544
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
On the 10th April, the Stuttle family received the worst news possible. The headline in the newspaper read 'English backpacker thrown to her death in Australia'. The book is an insightful real-life story of ordinary people who found themselves in extraordinary circumstances. A turbulent journey and the devastating impact of the murder of Caroline Ann Stuttle. The story is told from her brother's perspective, after a phone call at 4:30 a.m. in the French Alps changed his world forever. Although starting with tragedy, it's a positive story about how Caroline's life and death touched the world and inspired people to live their best lives. Spanning across eighteen years, this book includes dealing with grief and building a charity on tragic foundations. Certain chapters are written day to day taken from Richard's diaries, like launching a public appeal for information, attending her murder trial and continuing Caroline's adventure around Australia. This book winds its way along the long road of a family coming to terms with grief, how one event can significantly change the course of people's lives. It offers an in-depth look into how people's belief systems can change over time.

Chasing Rainbows: Exploring Gender Fluid Parenting Practices
Author: Fiona Joy Green
Publisher: Demeter Press
ISBN: 1927335566
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Feminist parenting creates unique challenges. As women experience the unique powerlessness of motherhood, they also hold the uncom- fortable power of acting as advocates for and as agents of socialization and social control over their children. Fathers may feel the desire for feminist parenting whilst experiencing a backlash and a lack of sup- port, while some parents may attempt to resist the binaries of mother- ing and fathering in their feminist parenting journey. Feminist parents may attempt to resist gender binaries; they may submit to them while attempting to foster critical dialogue; they may struggle with the dis- play of their own femininity and masculinity or, for some, its perceived lack. This book attempts to cast a lens on the messy and convoluted ways that feminist parents approach parenting their children in gender aware and gender fluid ways.

Chasing Rainbows
Author: Tim Worstall
Publisher: Stacey International Publishers
ISBN: 9781906768447
Category : Environmental economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Chasing Rainbows looks at the commonly held beliefs about what we should do to avoid, curtail or adapt to global warming and compares them to what we should actually be doing. This is not an argument about the science: Worstall leaves that entirely to others to debate. Rather, he asks what guides and indications we can draw from the economics already embedded in such pronouncements as the IPCC reports and the Stern Review. The answers will shock some: globalisation is part of the cure for climate change. Recycling of some things certainly saves resources but of domestic waste actually squanders them. Creating 'green jobs' is not a benefit but a cost of our actions.

The Third Rainbow Girl
Author: Emma Copley Eisenberg
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0316449202
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
*** A NEW YORK TIMES "100 Notable Books of 2020" *** A stunning, complex narrative about the fractured legacy of a decades-old double murder in rural West Virginia—and the writer determined to put the pieces back together. In the early evening of June 25, 1980 in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, two middle-class outsiders named Vicki Durian, 26, and Nancy Santomero, 19, were murdered in an isolated clearing. They were hitchhiking to a festival known as the Rainbow Gathering but never arrived. For thirteen years, no one was prosecuted for the “Rainbow Murders” though deep suspicion was cast on a succession of local residents in the community, depicted as poor, dangerous, and backward. In 1993, a local farmer was convicted, only to be released when a known serial killer and diagnosed schizophrenic named Joseph Paul Franklin claimed responsibility. As time passed, the truth seemed to slip away, and the investigation itself inflicted its own traumas—-turning neighbor against neighbor and confirming the fears of violence outsiders have done to this region for centuries. In The Third Rainbow Girl, Emma Copley Eisenberg uses the Rainbow Murders case as a starting point for a thought-provoking tale of an Appalachian community bound by the false stories that have been told about. Weaving in experiences from her own years spent living in Pocahontas County, she follows the threads of this crime through the complex history of Appalachia, revealing how this mysterious murder has loomed over all those affected for generations, shaping their fears, fates, and desires. Beautifully written and brutally honest, The Third Rainbow Girl presents a searing and wide-ranging portrait of America—divided by gender and class, and haunted by its own violence.
