With poetic grit and unfiltered honesty, Fisher chronicles his backbreaking daily grind on the Atlantic Ocean, only to be blindsided by the cold fist of bureaucracy: the ice-hearted Pease Port Authority. Ultimately, his 30 years as a commercial fisherman collapses simply because of a clerical misstep that the Authority, blind to his desperate pleas, refuses to ignore.

« Par une nuit sans lune, une ombre glisse sous de rares lampadaires. Le faubourg nord de Tokyo s'assoupit dans l'air glacial, bercé par le ronronnement des trains. Adossé aux gratte-ciels, il se réduit à des maisons basses, des trottoirs déserts et à quelques vélos en liberté posés contre des voitures bâchées. Le lieu idéal pour se cacher, disparaître, s'évader. » Chaque année, quelque 100 000 Japonais, hommes et femmes de tous âges, s'évaporent sans laisser de traces… Un récit immersif sur un phénomène unique au monde.

Many of us grew up believing in a meritocracy, where hard work and a good education brings rewards. Go to university, get a job, put in the hours and things will be OK. That’s what we were told – but the reality is that life chances and opportunities are no longer shaped by what we learn or earn but by whether we have access to the Bank of Mum and Dad. We’re living in an inheritocracy, where parental support is what matters most – whether that’s covering the cost of university, stumping up for a house deposit or helping with childcare.

After I'd got him out of harm's way, I dived back in yet again and swam out past the surf-break, out to where the other two lads were floundering. Then, one at a time, I took them back onto the rocks – all done against the raging rip and wild surf. By then an hour or so had passed. Still, severe cuts, bruises and abrasions aside, I'd successfully saved the lives of the four young people who, in all probability, would've otherwise drowned.

In this groundbreaking book, Esther Armah argues that the crucial missing piece to racial healing and sustainable equity is emotional justice—a new racial healing language to help us do our emotional work. This work is part of the emotional reckoning we must navigate if racial healing is to be more than a dream. We all—white, Black, Brown—have our emotional work that we need to do. But that work is not the same for all of us.

Every year, millions of public school students are suspended. This overused punishment removes students from the classroom, but it does not improve their behavior. Instead, suspension disrupts their education, harming the students, their families, and their schools. Black students suffer most within this broken system, experiencing a far greater risk of school punishment and the significant harms that accompany it. Many activists and scholars have considered how school punishment increases racial inequity, but few have thought to ask why.

Burnt out and in need of retreat, Jenn Ashworth emerged from lockdown with a compulsive need to walk—and to walk away. Armed with little more than the knowledge imparted by a two-day orienteering course and a set of maps, she embarked on the most epic of English walks: Wainwright's Coast to Coast. Guided not just by Wainwright's writing but also by daily letters from her friend Clive—facing an epic journey of his own—Jenn's pilgrimage soon becomes more than just walking: a chance to reconnect and excavate, to re-engage with the act of caring for others and for oneself.
