Embracing a Grace-Paced Life in a World of Endless Demands

By: Shona Murray,David Murray

I feel so overwhelmed." Do you race from one thing to the next, unable to keep up with all the demands of your ever-growing to-do list? Are you overcommitted and overstretched, but don't know how to slow down when the world just says to speed up? Is there any hope for rest in a world of never-ending demands? Many women don't realize they're running at an unsustainable pace until it hurts them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Drawing on many years of counseling and their own experiences of burnout, wife and husband team Shona and David Murray want to help you slow down to a more grace-paced life—enabling you to avoid the pitfall of burnout, cultivate sustainable habits for the future, and experience the rest of body and soul that God intends for you.

Maternal Sentencing and the Rights of the Child

By: Shona Minson

This book brings to life the experiences of children affected by maternal imprisonment, and provides unique, in-depth analysis of judicial thinking on this issue. It explores the experiences of children whose mothers are sentenced to imprisonment in England and Wales and contrasts their state-sanctioned separation from their mothers in the criminal courts (where the court may not even be aware of the existence of a child) to the state-sanctioned separation of children from their parents in the family courts, where the child has legal representation and their best interests are the court’s paramount consideration. Drawing on detailed empirical research with children, caregivers, and Crown Court judiciary, Maternal Sentencing and the Rights of the Child brings together relevant literature on law, criminology, and human rights to provide insight into the reasons for the differentiated treatment and its implications for children, their caregivers, and wider society.

Faith, Identity and Homicide

Exploring Narratives from a Therapeutic Prison

By: Shona Robinson-Edwards

This book explores the role that religion plays in the lives of imprisoned homicide offenders. Drawing on interviews in an English prison, the author examines how they narrate their life stories and how religion intersects with other categories to rebuild their personal identities after committing a crime and being labelled as murderers or killers. This book seeks to bridge the gap between macro and micro phenomena, examining religion as both a social institution and a personal experience. It also explores the mediating role of institutions with regards to the nature and extent of their influence upon individual choices and actions, and provides insights into the nature of the therapeutic prison. It seeks to create some clarity of understanding the complex nature of religiosity, narrative, identity, desistance and rehabilitation whilst critically examining elements of social identity that may restrict or enhance this process. It provides a series of recommendations for organisations working with convicted homicide offenders/offenders and speaks to academics and practitioners in the fields of criminology, sociology, psychology and religious/theological studies.

People Are Animals Too

People Are Animals Too

Self-awareness, according to an animal doctor

By: Shona Kowtecky

Discover a fresh perspective by stepping into another’s... paws? “Chase what you want. Advocate for your needs. Set boundaries and goals. Learn to let go. Take care of yourself.” This can be good advice, but what if you don’t know what you want? Or need? What boundaries are worth setting for you? Or how to decide what to let go of, and what to hold on to? What if focusing on yourself seems uncomfortable, selfish, unnecessary, or a bit too “fluffy”? As a veterinarian, Dr. Shona Kowtecky has spent almost 20 years learning about, paying attention to, advocating for, and taking care of thousands of animals... while simultaneously watching thousands of people struggle to do the same for themselves. Whether or not you are a pet-parent or animal-lover, self-awareness is a key starting point for optimal health and a good quality of life, yet it’s often overlooked, oversimplified, or too ambiguous to be practical. People Are Animals Too provides a structured and creative approach to encourage self-examination, compassion, and curiosity through insightful questions and humorous anecdotes centered around the question: What if we cared for ourselves the way we care for the animals we love? Or better yet, what if we simply remembered that people are animals too?

The Work of the British Law Commissions

The Work of the British Law Commissions

Law Reform... Now?

By: Shona Wilson Stark

The Law Commission (of England and Wales) and the Scottish Law Commission were both established in 1965 to promote the reform of the laws of their respective jurisdictions. Since then, they have each produced hundreds of reports across many areas of law. They are independent of government yet rely on governmental funding and governmental approval of their proposed projects. They also rely on both government and Parliament (and, occasionally, the courts or other bodies) to implement their proposals. This book examines the tension between independence and implementation and recommends how a balance can best be struck. It proposes how the Commissions should choose their projects given that their duties outweigh their resources, and how we should assess the success, or otherwise, of their output. Countries around the world have created law reform bodies in the Commissions' image. They may wish to reflect on the GB Commissions' responses to the changes and challenges they have faced to reappraise their own law reform machinery. Equally, the GB Commissions may seek inspiration from other commissions' experiences. The world the GB Commissions inhabit now is very different from when they were established. They have evolved to remain relevant in the face of devolution, the UK's changing relationship with the European Union, increasing pressure for accountability and decreasing funding. Further changes to secure the future of independent law reform are advanced in this book.

Beyond Constraint

Middle/Passages of Blackness and Indigeneity in the Radical Tradition

By: Shona N. Jackson

Beyond Constraint

Middle/Passages of Blackness and Indigeneity in the Radical Tradition

By: Shona N. Jackson

In Beyond Constraint, Shona N. Jackson offers a new approach to labour and its analysis by demonstrating the fundamental relation between black and Indigenous People’s sovereign, free, and coerced labour in the Americas. Through the writings of Cedric Robinson, Walter Rodney, C. L. R. James, and Sylvia Wynter, Jackson confronts the elision of Indigenous People’s labour in the black radical tradition. She argues that this elision is an effect of the structural relation of antiblackness to anti-indigeneity through which native and black bodies are arranged on either side of a split between unproductive labour and productive work necessary for capital accumulation and for how we read capital in political economic critique. This division between labour and work forces the radical tradition to sustain the break between black and Indigenous peoples as part of its critical strategies of liberation. To address this impasse, Jackson reads the tradition against the grain for openings to indigeneity and a method for recovering lost labours.
