New Releases by Elizabeth Fuller

What if the biggest secret at school was also the most fragile heart? Florence has always been invisible-the quiet, book-loving girl who fades into the background. She''s learned it''s safer not to be seen. No drama, no heartbreak. Just survive high school and move on. Eric? He''s the opposite. Popular, confident, the golden boy of the football team. The kind of guy who dates cheerleaders, not girls who write poetry in the library. So when an unexpected spark ignites between them, it''s something neither of them can explain... or resist. They agree to keep it a secret. No one can know. Not their friends, not their families. Especially not the ones who would never understand. But secrets have a way of unraveling-and Florence is starting to feel more than she planned. What began as a harmless fling begins to shift into something deeper, more dangerous. Florence promised herself she wouldn''t fall. She wouldn''t get attached. But what if falling for someone means finally feeling seen? And what if Eric has secrets of his own... ones that could change everything? A heart-tugging romance about first love, hidden truths, and the risks we take when we dare to feel. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, emotional twists, and the thrill of forbidden connection.

This memoir, the first of three, follows one woman''s journey through the roles of child prodigy, trapped teen, college dropout, radiant bride, theatre-maker, and mother. It''s about discovery- a roller-coaster process of becoming herself, and she''s still evolving. Elizabeth Fuller has lived her life making theatre, from Off-Broadway to state prisons and church basements. She has composed more than 50 theatre scores and with her mate Conrad Bishop has written dozens of produced plays and eight novels. Besides playing roles ranging from Lady Macbeth to Lear''s Fool, she has engineered for public radio, built stud walls, done full-charge accounting, and mothered two children.

At the behest of his patron, a medieval scribe narrates his ordeal as an inquisitive, befuddled six-year-old on tour with his family troupe of players. Performing their farces across a landscape of war, plague, religious strife and feral cats, they travel from sunny Greece into the uncharted north, playing market fairs and noblemen''s banquets, while transporting a hamper of curse-bearing masks that intrude themselves into the boy''s dreams and the troupe''s reality, culminating in a Nordic Armageddon. Though set in Late Antiquity, it''s based on the authors'' own experience as a family of traveling players with an offbeat mix of farce and tragedy: playing for gods, playing for peasants, playing for cats. It''s about carrying the curses bequeathed by previous generations, dealing with catcalls and calamities, improvising making sense of the fears that provoke self-destruction and improvising the strategies of daily survival.

Spanning five thousand years of human experience, from the Fertile Crescent to the inventor''s lab, Mythic Plays includes four dramas evolved from collaboration with American theatres by playwrights Conrad Bishop and Elizabeth Fuller and their performance ensemble The Independent Eye. From Greek myth (Medea/Sacrament), Norse saga (Ragnarok: Doom of the Gods), Sumerian archetype (Descent of the Goddess Inanna) and Mary Shelley''s "Modern Prometheus," Frankenstein, these plays offer models for a synthesis of poetry, physical theatre, and the immediate reality of myth.

Supporters of neoliberalism claim that free markets lead to economic growth, the creation of a middle class, and the establishment of democratically accountable governments. Critics point to a widening gap between rich and poor as countries compete to win foreign investment, and to the effects on the poor of neoliberal programs that restrict funding for health, education, and welfare. This book offers a ground-level view from Sumatra of the realities behind these debates during the final years of Suharto’s New Order and the beginning of a transition to more democratic government. The author’s wealth of primary data from ten years of interviews and local newspaper reportage (1994–2004) shows how farmers and laborers were dispossessed by both government policies and crony capitalism. Elizabeth Collins relates the stories of populist efforts in South Sumatra to combat "development" policies responsible for producing extreme poverty and allowing corruption to flourish. She describes how student-led NGOs worked with farmers fighting to retain their livelihoods in the lowland forests of South Sumatra. She reports on a local branch of the Indonesian Environmental Forum as it battled multinational companies and Indonesian conglomerates responsible for damage to the environment; on contract workers protesting exploitation by a company with ties to a Suharto crony; and on systemic corruption under the New Order, which spread throughout all levels of government and into civil society organizations. She examines the sometimes strained relationships between Islamists and human-rights activists, arguing that there is no inherent contradiction between Islam and democratic politics. Collins concludes that for real change to occur, neoliberal capitalism must be recognized as a utopian ideology; democracy, imperfect as it is, offers the best hope for sustainable development in Indonesia.

The Health Survey for England 2000 presents a number of reports which consider the health of older people, aged 65 years and over, both in private households and, for the first time, in residential and nursing homes. This report focuses the psychosocial well-being of older people. Four types of indicator are used to assess this: cognitive impairment indicative of dementia; psychological morbidity rates, including depression; the individual''s own perceptions of the level of social support received from family and friends; and for residents in care homes, participation in social activities.
