She asked for it. She was flirting. She was drinking. She was wearing a revealing dress. She was too confident. She walked home alone. She stayed in that relationship. She was na&#65533;ve. She didn't report soon enough. She didn't fight back. She wanted it. She lied about it. She comes from a bad area. She was vulnerable. She should have known. Victim blaming of women is prevalent and normalised in society. What causes us to blame women who have been abused, raped, trafficked, assaulted or harassed by men? Why are we uncomfortable with placing all of the blame on perpetrators for their crimes against women? Based on three years of doctoral research and ten years of practice with women and girls, Dr Jessica Taylor explores the many reasons we blame women for male violence committed against them. Written in her unique style and backed up by decades of evidence, this book exposes the powerful forces in society and individual psychology which compel us to blame women subjected to male violence.

"Emotionally eviscerating. A gripping examination of the barbed-wire bonds between sisters that cut, protect, and don't let go. Prepare to feel." —Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval "A masterfully written tale of survival, sisters, and love." —Julie Murphy, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Dumplin' Emma did something terrible to her sister. Something that cannot be undone. Emma and Henri were supposed to grow old together. They were sisters and best friends. Emma always imagined them as little old ladies living together in a huge house by the sea. But that was before—before the boat accident, before Emma and Henri washed ashore, before they got mixed up with Alex, a boy they barely know. The island is beautiful, but there is no fresh water, no food, no shelter. All they have are each other. And their secrets. As nights on the island turn into days, Emma hopes the need to survive, the desperation for comfort, will drive Henri back to her. Instead they’re farther apart than ever. And Emma finds herself drifting closer to Alex—Alex, who can’t understand why Henri is so terrible to Emma. But then, he doesn’t know Emma’s secret. Will Henri ever forgive Emma? Can they survive the island? Can they reclaim what they’ve lost? There is no map for this. A twisting tale of loyalty, betrayal, and hope—for fans of Tell Me Three Things, The One Memory of Flora Banks, and Pretty Little Liars.

How Do Satellites Stay in Space?: A Book About How Satellites Work

Review\n"A friendly, enlightening text for future scientists or anyone curious about space." -- Kirkus Reviews\nFor young readers with lots of questions about satellites, this book has many of the answers. Taylor responds to an imaginary reader with thorough replies scaled to inform but not overwhelm or discourage. Bassani’s illustrations are styled like a notebook and paper-collage pages. Detailed and fun, the artwork creates playful visuals to the questions Taylor poses. In response to “How do scientists fix satellites? Do they send space handy workers?” Bassani provides a literal interpretation of workers floating in space, fixing a satellite. The text explains why that scenario wouldn’t work and how scientists do actually service satellites. This sort of engagement between the text and the artwork might encourage young readers to ask even more questions―even questions that seem silly! VERDICT In very few pages, author and illustrator collaborate to encourage children to pursue answers, no matter how trivial, and have fun while doing it. For larger collections. -- School Library Journal\nA fun, slightly zany take on science topics that expands beyond the standard content. -- Booklist\nEach page has catchy and colorful illustrations that help the reader to make meaning of many concepts. -- Youth Services Book Review\nHave you ever wondered how and why satellites go to space?

Science, Nature & How It Works

"I believe in possibility. Of magic, of omens, of compasses, of love. Some of it's a little bit true." Sixteen-year-old Tal is a Wanderer—a grifter whose life is built around the sound of wheels on the road, the customs of her camp, and the artful scams that keep her fed. With her brother, Wen, by her side, it's the only life she's ever known. It's the only one she's ever needed. Then, in a sleepy Southern town, the queen of cons picks the wrong mark when she meets Spencer Sway—the clean-cut Socially Secured boy who ends up hustling her instead of the other way around. For the first time, she sees a reason to stay. As her obligations to the camp begin to feel like a prison sentence, the pull to leave tradition behind has never been so strong. But the Wanderers live by signs, and all the signs all say that Tal and Spencer will end disaster and grief. Is a chance at freedom worth almost certain destruction? Wandering Wild is an achingly romantic journey of tradition and self-discovery—a magical debut.
