"This book focuses on xenophobia-motivated illegal activities in Russia, government policies for counteracting extremism (that is, various direct, ideologically motivated threats to state and public security), and abuses that systematically arise in the implementation of these policies. The work is based on the annual reports by SOVA Center for Information and Analysis that focus on the years 2014 to 2020. This particular time frame was chosen because it was these dates that marked substantial changes in counter-extremism policy within Russia. The year 2014 was the beginning of Russia's intervention in the Ukraine crisis, which in many respects served as a turning point in domestic policy as well. The endpoint of 2020, when a large package of amendments to the Constitution were approved by nationwide referendum, also marked a watershed in domestic policy. The book closes with an Epilogue that summarizes more recent trends in law enforcement that have become evident since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war"--

"Theodore's Dragon: A Journey with Epilepsy" aims to diminish the stigma and fear associated with epilepsy by encouraging age-appropriate discussions about the condition.Inspired by my son's experiences with tonic-clonic and absence seizures, I set out to find a book that could explain to him and his peers what was happening. When I couldn't find anything suitable, I decided to write a story just for him.LIFE WITH EPILEPSY:Epilepsy is more than just seizures; it can permeate almost every aspect of an individual's life. Mental health issues are common in people with epilepsy, and the stigma associated with the condition can exacerbate this. For children with epilepsy, having their peers witness episodes can be very difficult. Without proper education, it can lead to other children being scared of the seizures or, indeed, the child with epilepsy.In addition to being a story about a little boy with epilepsy, the book provides important information for parents and caregivers at the back. This includes information to supplement discussions on epilepsy, what to do in the event of a seizure, and where to find more information.

Through jungle patrols and firefights, amidst the chaos and the comedy that is the war in Vietnam, Chris earns the respect and affection of a squad of men who have nothing to lose by telling it like it is. But as the pressure from her editor mounts, as journalistic competition descends on the Delta, as Chris reckons with the consequences of the choices that led her to Vietnam, she discovers how hard it is to separate the story she was born to tell from the story she was born to live.

The mystery itself proves gripping, with Morrissey deftly teasing revelations and then showing her cards at the perfect moment... This deft historical New England mystery digs deeply into women's lives." -BookLife 'Editor's Pick' review On a cold January morning in 1832, a young New England mill girl, five months pregnant, is found hanged in a deserted woodyard. Initially ruled a suicide, letters found among the victim's effects lead to the suspicion that the father of her child-and likely murderer-is the young Reverend Josiah Woodley, a married man. Josiah is arrested and charged. Since the death of their infant daughter, when Rachel Woodley was disappointed to discover her husband wasn't the masterful "head of the woman" her religion tells her she must have to subdue her own unwomanly drive and initiative, the Woodleys have been living parallel lives, drifting ever further apart. Now, finding the evidence against her husband strong enough to convict him, and shocked to discover no one in his church seems eager to see him exonerated, Rachel exerts herself to vindicate him, if she can. At first timid and ineffectual, she gradually gains confidence in herself-and in Josiah, who proves to be not as weak and vacillating as she once imagined. But can she uncover the truth in time to save him from the gallows? Inspired by a true event, Marriage and Hanging is the captivating new historical novel by Genevieve Morrissey, author of the popular Antlands science fiction series.
