Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In order for people with depression to feel safe and understood, it's essential to overcome depression's "language barrier" As The Depression Project hears every single day from members of their 3,000,000+ person social media community, a ?language barrier? often exists between people with depression and those around them ? in the sense that many words, everyday expressions and non-verbal forms of communication can take on a vastly different meaning than they otherwise would when they are coming from someone who has depression. And, as The Depression Project also continuously hears, this ?language barrier? can result in people with depression being judged and criticized; having conflict with their loved ones; feeling alone, misunderstood and unsupported; and being more at risk of attempting suicide. Consequently, in order to overcome this ?language barrier? and therefore help people with depression feel safe, understood, supported and much better as a result. This book will:  Explain what people with depression are actually going through when they say ?I have depression? (it is much more than sadness); when they say ?I'm fine? (very often they are not); when they say ?I'm tired? (?depression tiredness? is very different from ?normal tiredness?); when they say ?I can't? (which is often misinterpreted as ?I won't?, and as that person with depression just being ?lazy?); and when they say other commonly spoken phrases that are often misunderstood by people who have never experienced depression themselves before.Share a wide variety of suggestions to help make it easier for people with depression to put what they are going through into words.Highlight the language people with depression often use that can indicate they are feeling suicidal (which tragically, is often ignored, dismissed or not picked up on by the people around them).Look at depression's ?facial language barrier?, and explain what people with depression are often actually going through when they smile, avoid eye contact, have muted facial expressions, or look tired or frustrated (when a person has depression, these facial expressions and interactions can often mean something very, very different than they otherwise would).Address depression's ?touch language barrier? by clarifying the reasons why depression can cause someone to be much less tactile and physically intimate than they would otherwise be, and by explaining the steps that can be taken to help prevent this lack of physical intimacy from spiraling into long-term relationship problems. Learning The Language Of Depression is an ideal book for people with depression who would like some help communicating what they are going through so that they can be better understood, as well as friends and family of someone with depression who would like to better understand their loved one and effectively support them.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The Dark Mountain Project began with a manifesto published in 2009 by two English writers?Dougald Hine and Paul Kingsnorth?who felt that literature was not responding honestly to the crises of our time. In a world in which the climate is being altered by human activities; in which global ecosystems are being destroyed by the advance of industrial civilisation; and in which the dominant economic and cultural assumptions of the West are visibly crumbling, Dark Mountain asked: where are the writers and the artists? Why are the mainstream cultural forms of our society still behaving as if this were the twentieth century?or even the nineteenth? Dark Mountain?s call for writers, thinkers and artists willing to face the depth of the mess we are in has made it a gathering point for a growing international network. Rooted in place, time and nature, their work finds a home in the pages of the Dark Mountain books, with two new volumes published every year. Walking on Lava brings together the best of the first ten volumes, along with the original manifesto. This collection of essays, fiction, poetry, interviews and artwork introduces The Dark Mountain Project?s groundbreaking work to a wider audience in search of ?the hope beyond hope, the paths which lead to the unknown world ahead of us.. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. For nine-year-old Alejandria, home isn't just the apartment she shares with Mami and her abuela, Tita, but rather the whole neighborhood. Home is the bakery where Ms. Beatrice makes yummy picos; the sidewalk where Ms. Alicia sells flowers with her little dog, Duende; and the corner store with friendly Mr. Amir. But lately the city has been changing, and rent prices are going up. Many people in el barrio are leaving because they can no longer afford their homes, and For Sale signs are popping up everywhere. Then the worst thing happens: Mami receives a letter saying they'll have to move out too. Alejandria knows it isn't fair, but she's not about to give up and leave. Join Alejandria as she brings her community together to fight and save their neighborhood. Liu-Trujillo, Robert (illustrator).…
