Ageing Disgracefully

By: Joan Sauers

A funny, wise guide to growing old ... and loving it! From the woman who brought us the best-selling A Grown-Up Girl's Guide to Life and a range of other humorous thinking woman's agony aunt titles including Teething, Tantrums and Tattoos, comes Ageing Disgracefully, a funny, wise guide to growing old ... and loving it! Joan Sauers has come up with more than 300 indispensable tips for women who are 35 and over. The list includes reminders to do all the FUN stuff, from drinking champagne to climbing a tree (though not in that order!) and, equally important, reminders not to do the dumb stuff, like sleep with your sister's husband. Or date royalty. Or even worse, sleep with your sister's husband the prince. The book is light, bright and fun, and it comes in a cute gift format that's perfect for A Woman of a Certain Age to flip through with one hand while holding her cocktail in the other and enjoying an expert massage from a Nobel Prize-winning Liam Neeson lookalike. Of course it's also the perfect size for flipping through while you're juggling a toddler, two grocery bags and the car keys, but, in the spirit of Joan Sauers, let's enjoy the fantasy, shall we?

U. S. Grant

American Hero, American Myth

By: Joan Waugh

At the time of his death, Ulysses S. Grant was the most famous person in America, considered by most citizens to be equal in stature to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Yet today his monuments are rarely visited, his military reputation is overshadowed by that of Robert E. Lee, and his presidency is permanently mired at the bottom of historical rankings. In U. S. Grant, Joan Waugh investigates Grant's place in public memory and the reasons behind the rise and fall of his renown, while simultaneously underscoring the fluctuating memory of the Civil War itself.

Sex Lives of Australian Women

Sex Lives of Australian Women

By: Joan Sauers

Thousands of women, aged 19 to 70, have shared their most intimate and sexual emotional stories. Sex is everywhere, yet we rarely discuss our own intimate experiences. Even our lovers often don't know our secret histories or desires - until now. Australian women believe that an active sex life is vital to their sense of wellbeing, but we still see sex as something that's a bit dirty, a bit naughty, a bit embarrassing. We rarely compare notes about what we do in the bedroom. Who knows if their behaviour, physical responses and emotions is something we have in common with our friends and neighbours? Joan Sauers created a forum in which Australian women could share their darkest secrets, their desires, fears and furtive dreams and speak their minds about sex and sexuality. The anonymous online survey attracted nearly two thousand responses, from women of all ages, living in every state and territory in the country. They were straight, bi and lesbian; single, dating, married, divorced and widowed; childless women, mothers and grandmothers. This is a book for anyone interested in sexual behaviour and attitudes - men as well as women - and a book for women who don't always feel comfortable talking to their friends or sisters or mums about a subject that matters so much to all of us.

Brothers and Sisters

Intimate Portraits of Sibling Relationships

By: Joan Sauers

Sibling rivalry will never look the same again in this fascinating collection of true stories! A woman who gave birth to a baby for her sister... brothers who fought each other in the Supreme Court over the family farm... two sisters who survived Auschwitz together, one convincing the other to choose life over death ... a famous actress and her not-so-famous-sister ... five loving siblings of whom four are adopted from different racial backgrounds ... These are some of the brothers and sisters who illustrate the high high drama and low comedy of sibling relationships in revealing interviews with author Joan Sauers. The nature and causes of sibling rivalry as well as the sibling bond are explored in this fascinating collection of true stories. As unusual and as varied as they are, however, these relationships are also in many ways universal. Even the experience of being an only child is illuminated. Sauers also provides an opportunity for the reader to discover more about his or her own sibling relationships with a tear-out questionnaire. Sometimes sad, often hysterically funny, Brothers and Sisters is a book for everyone, and especially for those who still have argument

The Little Back Book

Tips, Tricks and Treatments to Help Stop the Pain

By: Joan Sauers,Peter Edwards

As many as 80 per cent of people experience some sort of back pain and getting rid of it can be tricky, time-consuming and expensive. The Little Back Book is a handy guide to identifying and treating a bad back, and to maintaining a healthy spine. The book is written in a refreshingly upbeat style by bestselling non-fiction author Joan Sauers in consultation with Peter Edwards. Joan suffered 20 years of chronic back pain until a podiatrist finally fixed her structural imbalance and so she is alive to the problems faced by the patient of back treatments. Peter is a sport and fitness expert who is passionate about the importance of activity to maintaining a strong spine. The Little Back Book starts by looking at the basic anatomy of the spine and the different locations of back pain. It describes all the various treatment options available from physiotherapy to cupping, Rofling to surgery, and assesses likely outcomes. Then it explains how to keep back pain from reoccurring and how to maintain a strong, dynamic spine through stretching, exercise and establishing the right living and working environment. Photos accompany the exercises for clarity and there are simple illustrations of anatomical structures. The Little Back Book takes a holistic approach to overcoming pain and emphasises the importance of good posture and a healthy lifestyle. It provides plenty of practical strategies for an active life and encourages readers not to give up until they find a way to manage their back care successfully.

One Cat's Guide to Self-Discovery (Without Ever Leaving Home)

They think they're so cool flying between the trees and up in the air.'), and on the meaning of life ('Is there anything better than the feel of the sun on your belly?).

Grace-Filled Moments with Sr. Joan

Appreciation for the small goods of life-the taste of warm, fresh bread, the birthday card in the mailbox, the hour of quiet that returns us to ourselves-is itself a spiritual exercise." As nourishing as our daily bread, this all-new collection of wisdom from spiritual master and renowned religious leader Sr. Joan Chittister is essential reading for all who long to grow closer to God and one another. Here she reflects on such important themes as St. Benedict's call to "listen with the ear of the heart," learning to cultivate happiness and find joy in moderation, and developing a deeper prayer life in our ongoing search for communion with God.

Three Saints

Women Who Changed History: Genevieve of Paris, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila

By: Joan Williams

Most biographies of women saints tend to be brief summaries extolling their virtues, with a slight mention of their greater contributions to the faith and the world in general. Author Joan Williams has taken the lives of three often neglected women saints (Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, and Genevieve of Paris) and provides a look into their lives and influence and sheds light on their neglected stories.

The Life of Elizabeth Seton

American Saint

The Life of Elizabeth Seton

By: Joan Barthel

In this riveting biography of Elizabeth Seton critically acclaimed and bestselling author Joan Barthel tells the mesmerizing story of a woman whose life featured wealth and poverty, passion and sorrow, love and loss. Elizabeth was born into a prominent New York City family in 1774. Her father was the chief health officer for the Port of New York and she lived down the block from Alexander Hamilton. She danced at George Washington's sixty-fifth Birthday Ball wearing cream slippers, monogrammed. Catholicism was illegal in New York when she was born; Catholic priests seen in the city were arrested, sometimes hung. When Elizabeth and her wealthy husband Will sailed to Italy in a doomed attempt to cure his tuberculosis, she and her family were quarantined in a damp dungeon. And when Elizabeth later became a Catholic, she was so scorned that people talked of burning down her house. American Saint is the inspiring story of a brave woman who forged the way for the other women who followed and who made a name for herself in a world entirely ruled by men. Elizabeth resisted male clerical control of her religious order, as nuns are doing today, and the publication of her story could not be more timely. Maya Angelou has contributed the foreword.

The Reluctant Religious

By: Joan Gore

An entertaining and challenging story of faith, family, adventure and danger — but above all of love: love of God, love of family, love of people. When God gently called her to the life of a Religious Sister, Joan wasn't at all sure that this was the life for her, and she gave Him every opportunity to 'change His mind. However, she soon discovered that He had indeed planned this life for her — a life of service that took her to work with the poor and marginalised in the South Pacific, South America and the former Communist Germany — and He gave her the courage, the strength of spirit and above all the love for people to carry out His mission"--Back cover.

Life As Carola

By: Joan Grant

HISTORICAL NOVEL? OR ONE OF THE MOST ASTOUNDING AUTOBIOGRAPHIES EVER WRITTEN? The memories of a wanderer in the stormy and licentious era of Renaissance Italy... Carola, the illegitimate child of an Italian nobleman, spent her childhood in a castle near Perugia until the day Fortune cast her into the hostile outer-world of 16th-century Italy. As a member of a group of strolling players, Carola was to gather both harsh experience and gentle wisdom from the strong man Bernard, from the harlot Lucia, from the hunchback-jester Petruchio, and from Sofia, who would be burned as a witch. Finally, when she finds her long-sought peace in love, the freedom she has won carries her triumphantly beyond the barrier of death and from her Life As Carola. “Here is an unusual book that shines with fire...that is packed with incident, that is vivid, dramatic and skillfully put together—and yet one that this reviewer finds harder to value correctly than any that has ever fallen into his hands.”—New York Times “During the last twenty years, seven books of mine have been published as historical novels which to me are biographies of previous lives I have known.”—Joan Grant, from her autobiography Far Memory
