Thanatographies is a genre-defying meditation on disappearance, memory, and the porous boundaries between the living and the dead. In poetic prose, Yanara Friedland weaves together dreamscapes, historical fragments, personal recollections, and philosophical inquiry to explore the afterlives of loss and survival. Moving through rooms, cities, forests, and archives, the text becomes a living document of insomnia, exile, and the spectral presence of women across time, including artists, revolutionaries, caretakers, and ghosts.

David Buttifant

Built on lived experience and professional expertise, Life’s Tough - Be Tougher offers practical, real-world strategies to build resilience in the face of setbacks and explores the impact of physical health, emotional, social and spiritual resilience. ‘Reminds us that resilience isn’t a rare trait given to the few—it’s a muscle we all can grow.’ Turia Pitt, author and advocate ‘The physical hardships that once toughened us against adversity are in decline but mental hardships are on the rise. This book offers valuable tools to push through the barriers that would otherwise derail any inspired vision.’ Tim McCartney-Snape Life is unpredictable and tough times are inevitable, but it’s how we respond that defines us. Life’s Tough—Be Tougher is a straight-talking guide to building resilience and thriving when hard times hit. David Buttifant and Nick Farr draw on decades of coaching experience, as well as their own stories of personal loss and challenge, to show that resilience is not innate—it’s a skill you can learn. They outline the four pillars that underpin this—Physical, Emotional, Social and Psychological recovery—and provide proven strategies, daily habits and practical exercises you can put into action straight away. Blending insights from ancient philosophy, behavioural science and their pioneering work with Resilience Builders, Buttifant and Farr offer a roadmap for turning setbacks into growth. More than survival, this book shows you how to thrive, build strength and embrace opportunities from whatever comes your way.
