Hold Still

A Memoir with Photographs

By: Sally Mann

This National Book Award finalist is a revealing and beautifully written memoir and family history from acclaimed photographer Sally Mann. In this groundbreaking book, a unique interplay of narrative and image, Mann's preoccupation with family, race, mortality, and the storied landscape of the American South are revealed as almost genetically predetermined, written into her DNA by the family history that precedes her. Sorting through boxes of family papers and yellowed photographs she finds more than she bargained for: "deceit and scandal, alcohol, domestic abuse, car crashes, bogeymen, clandestine affairs, dearly loved and disputed family land . . . racial complications, vast sums of money made and lost, the return of the prodigal son, and maybe even bloody murder." In lyrical prose and startlingly revealing photographs, she crafts a totally original form of personal history that has the page-turning drama of a great novel but is firmly rooted in the fertile soil of her own life.

Quinn

A Novel

By: Sally Mandel

A novel of an unlikely college romance and the choices we face on the cusp of independence, by a New York Times–bestselling author. Headstrong and beautiful Quinn Mallory meets Will Ingraham at college in the 1960s. Their personalities couldn’t be more different, but a true love blossoms between them that, they believe, will last forever. But eventually, Quinn’s dreams of a career in the big city will collide with Will’s longing for a quiet life together in his Idaho home—leaving Quinn to choose between the life she wants and the man she loves, in this moving, poignant novel by an author who “has a gift for true and incisive dialogue” (Publishers Weekly). “A novel full of fresh characters in a timeless setting . . . . A delightful book to read and reread.” —The Pittsburgh Press “Her novels will inspire you with love, laughter and courage.” —Luanne Rice, author of The Secret Language of Sisters

Advances in Health Psychology

Critical Approaches

By: Christine Horrocks,Sally Johnson

Why did critical health psychology emerge? How have categories of social class and gender impacted on social identities? Where can health policy go from here, and how will health psychology inform its development? With contributions from leading experts in the field, this book deepens our understanding of health psychology at a time where traditional approaches are being rethought. Covering contemporary issues and with a focus on both mainstream and non-traditional areas, including material on social identities and social class, gender, and leadership in the NHS, the book provides cutting edge coverage of theory and research. Crucially, the book considers how theory impacts on practice and how health psychology can ignite change in health policy. Covering important issues with clear and fresh insight, this is indispensable reading for students, researchers and practitioners of health psychology, health studies and public health.
