Aftershock
Author: Matthew Green
Publisher: Portobello Books
ISBN: 1846274486
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Over the last decade, we have sent thousands of people to fight on our behalf. But what happens when these soldiers come back home, having lost their friends and killed their enemies, having seen and done things that have no place in civilian life? In Aftershock, Matthew Green tells the story of our veterans' journey from the frontline of combat to the reality of return. Through wide-ranging interviews with former combatants -- including a Royal Marine sniper and a former operator in the SAS - as well as serving personnel and their families, physicians, therapists, and psychiatrists, Aftershock looks beyond the headline-grabbing statistics and the labels of post-traumatic stress disorder to get to the heart of today's post-conflict experience. Green asks what lessons have been learned from past wars, and explores the range of help currently available, from traditional talking cures to cutting-edge scientific therapies. As today's battle-scarred troops begin to lay their weapons down, Aftershock is a hard-hitting account of the hidden cost of conflict. And its message is one that has profound implications, not just for the military, but for anyone with an interest in how we experience trauma and survive.

A Secret Mind
Author: Kaye Kelly
Publisher: Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited
ISBN: 1775530205
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
A lively, moving novel that vividly recreates the 1880s: the harsh lives; the attitudes to madness and to drunkenness; and the strength of friendship and love. After an accident at four years old, Libby Budd has difficulty speaking. Her devoted father refuses to see there's a problem - even when she starts having fits, seeing dead people and, as she grows older, behaving erratically and violently. In the 1880s, all the doctors can recommend is that she be sent to an asylum, but it's only when Libby's father dies that her desperate mother, Sylvia, considers this seriously. Their community of Stafford is disintegrating as sources of work disappear; Sylvia's close friends the Bramwells have moved to Hokitika; and people there are preoccupied with their own concerns, new scandals, new ventures and new settlers. The only person Sylvia can turn to is Arnold Price, the lodger, and he has his own reasons for wanting Libby out of the way.

Lum has always been on the outside. At eight, she was diagnosed with what we now call an intersex condition and is told she can't expect to marry. Now, at thirty-three, she has no home of her own but is shuttled from one relative's house to another—valued for her skills, but never treated like a true member of the family. Everything is turned upside down, however, when the Blue Ridge Parkway is slated to come through her family’s farmland. As people take sides in the fight, the community begins to tear apart—culminating in an act of violence and subsequent betrayal by opponents of the new road. However, the Parkway brings opportunities as well as loss.
