Description: Masking is a form of identity management involving consciously or unconsciously suppressing aspects of identity and action. Often seen in socially marginalised groups, it is found to contribute towards poorer outcomes for autistic people and is related to higher prevalence of suicidality, exhaustion & burnout, and mental health difficulties. Though masking has been predominantly framed as a social strategy to 'blend in' with neurotypical (non-autistic) people, emerging research suggests that masking can also form as a response to stigma and from traumatic experiences. Taking an intersectional lens to consider how autistic identity may interact with other aspects of selfhood, the authors will provide a holistic understanding of the most up-to-date evidence with the aim to develop solid knowledge and practice in health and education.

Description: A new, counterintuitive theory for how social networks influence the spread of behavior New social movements, technologies, and public-health initiatives often struggle to take off, yet many diseases disperse rapidly without issue. Can the lessons learned from the viral diffusion of diseases improve the spread of beneficial behaviors and innovations? How Behavior Spreads presents over a decade of original research examining how changes in societal behavior-in voting, health, technology, and finance-occur and the ways social networks can be used to influence how they propagate. Damon Centola's startling findings show that the same conditions that accelerate the viral expansion of an epidemic unexpectedly inhibit the spread of behaviors. How Behavior Spreads is a must-read for anyone interested in how the theory of social networks can transform our world.

Description: Research Methods for Nursing and Healthcare is an essential introductory text for all nursing and healthcare students coming to research methods for the first time or those nurses and healthcare staff wishing to improve their skills in this area. The book includes comprehensive coverage of the main research methods topics, and provides guidance on how to understand and apply research techniques. Everyday nursing examples are used throughout to explain research methods concepts and their relevance to practice. Simple self-assessment tasks are included at the end of chapters; the tests can be undertaken individually, or within groups, to assess the students understanding of the concepts and skills being learnt. Research Methods for Nursing and Healthcare takes the fear out of research methods for all nursing and healthcare professionals. Excellent introductory text that brings interest to research methods for student nurses. Dr Aimee Aubeeluck, Deputy Director: Graduate Entry Nursing, School of Nursing, Midwifery and Physiotherapy University of Nottingham I think this is one of the most readable books on research I have read. Not the most scholarly, but that was not the intention. It is certainly the most user friendly book that will make the whole, often scary, subject of research less threatening. Paula Crick, Principal Lecturer, Faculty of Health, Staffordshire University I do think this is one of the most engaging texts aimed at nursing that I have read in a while. This does seem much more exciting and more importantly. Real world Lucy Land, Senior Academic, Centre for Health and Social Care Research Faculty of Health Birmingham City University Useful resource for our students dissertation which can be a literature review or a research proposal Melanie Brooke-Read, Department of Health & Social Studies, University of Bedfordshire Excellent text book which actually takes away the 'fear' of research within healthcare Angela Cobbold, Institute of Health & Social Care, Anglia Ruskin University The text is very comprehensive and I found chapter 7 on action research particularly useful in supporting a student I was supervising. I also like the self assessment exercises which I intend to incorporate in my teaching strategy. Ms. Mulcahy, School of Nursing and Midwifery, University College Cork.

Description: Are you overwhelmed by conflicting nutritional advice? Do you struggle to make healthier food choices? In theory, we all know what works and what doesn’t work for our bodies; we know that we should eat more vegetables, consume less refined sugar, and avoid eating too many ultra-processed foods. We also know that what we choose to eat has a direct consequence on our health and our happiness. But, in reality, we have lost touch with the food we eat; it’s produced far away from our day-to-day lives and often arrives prepared and pre-packed to our supermarkets, our homes and our desks. Consequently, the food environment in which we live is based on marketing and arbitrary targets, instead of responding to our biology and nourishing our individual needs at different stages of our lives. That’s why in Every Body Should Know This, medical scientist and Head Nutritionist at ZOE, Dr Federica Amati explains how to make the most beneficial decisions for maintaining good health at every life stage. This first-of-a-kind book combines nutrition, medical science, and public health advice to create a simple, evidence-based guide to what we should all know about the food we love to eat and how it affects us. Packed with jargon-free advice, and informed by the latest scientific research, Dr Amati explores each life stage, from conception right through to our senior years, and delivers clear, targeted nutritional recommendations for all, so that everybody can have a better insight to what works for them personally.

Description: The essential guide to mental health from the bestselling author of The School of Life. This is a book about getting unwell. About losing direction and hope. About imagining that we have let ourselves and everyone down. But it is also a book about getting better. About regaining the thread, rediscovering meaning and finding a way back to connection and joy.

Description: All universities have to produce plans to eliminate the gaps in access, success and participation of disadvantaged student in higher education, setting targets with regards to Global Majority, working class, disabled and student with mental health conditions. In this book, Mike Seal examines the terminology, theoretical debates and positions, identifies the causes of gaps, and evaluates proposed initiatives. He argues that there is an unexamined assumption that higher education is a 'good thing' materially and intellectually, which demonises those for whom this is questionable. The book also highlights the continuing structural and individual discrimination in terms of class, race and disability and a denial of the extent to which higher education is a cause of mental health issues and negative well-being. It uncovers unexamined 'assimilation' models in higher education that expects these students to abandon their culture and communities, despite students wanting to give back to these communities being a major extrinsic motivation, and to embrace a culture that will not embrace them. The book starts from the perspective that contemporary international higher education reproduces existing privileges, and the book goes on to argue that widening participation agendas should recognise the changing nature of academic life through a more inclusive, holistic approach. Seal argues that it is essential to include an informed understanding of how students position themselves in academia and how their identity and academic status is enabled and developed with the support of the university. In order to do this universities need to redefine their purpose and the nature of their relationships with the communities they purport to serve.
