When you say the words 'domestic abuse', the first image that comes to mind for most is male violence towards women. Despite what some may believe, the very real truth is that domestic abuse is not a gendered crime, with men making up an estimated third of all victims. Break the Silence - A Support Guide For Male Victims Of Domestic Abuse explores the world of the male victim in an attempt to break the social stereotypes and gendered beliefs when it comes to this subject and to lift the veil of darkness that still hangs over those that are suffering or have suffered. Break the Silence - A Support Guide For Male Victims of Domestic Abuse raises awareness for all men as to what domestic abuse is and to act as a support guide for male victims, their families and professionals who work with them. This book provides an in-depth look at understanding the tactics of abuse from a female perpetrator, how to stay safe in and get out of the abusive relationship and guidance on being able to rebuild your life and move forward after escaping abuse. The time for male victims living in silence has come to an end, it is time for society to understand the dynamics of abuse, allowing male victims to break their silence and speak out. Only then can we reset the balance and stop domestic abuse towards men together.

Praise for Joining Forces "This book will help both M&A veterans and those new to the game. The authorsprovide great insights into the human, cultural, organizational, and strategic factors that matter in M&A success."--Richard Kovacevich, chairman and CEO emeritus, Wells Fargo & Co. "Don't commit to the merger or acquisition without them! I have personally witnessed how hard it is on everyone--employees, shareholders, communities, and especially executives--to work through an improperly managed merger. I have known Marks and Mirvis for almost twenty-five years and the only mistake our organization made was that we did not consult them soon enough. Their new book reflects unequalled experience and intellect. Don't merge, acquire, or be acquired without it!"--Michael R. Losey, CEO (emeritus), Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) "Joining Forces is a terrific resource for managers who want to understand thehuman dynamics of mergers and acquisitions, and a must-read for those who have to lead their companies through one. It is based on the latest research and providespractical insights and advice from authors who know M&A inside out." --Edward E.
