all my precious madness mark bowles

ALL MY PRECIOUS MADNESS is the story of a man at odds with the world. A man who wants to escape his violent past but instead - most emphatically repeats it. Henry Nash has hauled his way from a working class childhood in Bradford, through an undergraduate degree at Oxford, and into adulthood and an academic elite. But still, he can''t escape his anger. As the world - and men in particular - continues to disappoint him, so does his rage grow in m omentum until it becomes almost rapturous. And lethal. A savagely funny novel that disdains literary and moral conventions, All My Precious Madness is also a work of deep empathy even if when that also means understanding the darkest parts of humanity. It is, as critic Stephen Mitchelmore says, the book for everyone who longs for ''an English Bernhard'' - and to read one of the most electric debuts of the last decade.

In fifteen beautifully wrought stories-ranging from occupied Czechoslovakia to California's Central Valley to the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest-Mark Slouka explores moments in life when our back is to the wall. One of the most forceful American writers of his generation, Slouka captures the depth and emotional range of an array of characters-from a young boy attempting to shield his father from painful memories in "The Hare's Mask" to a lonely man whose beloved dog inexplicably begins to sprout razor blades from her skin in "Dog."Whether battling the end of desire, the fact of injustice, or death itself, the men and women in these stories are doing everything possible to tighten their grip on life. In "Crossing," a father hoping to compensate for his failures finds himself facing his past while fording a river with his young son on his back; in "Conception," a young couple frozen by the possible end of their marriage is offered an unexpected way back; in "Half-Life," a proud, ag

"Yungblud is like nothing you’ve seen before. That is, unless you’ve seen a smiley punk/alt rocker from Doncaster, UK who wears pink socks, black-lipstick, and a skirt, plays a mean guitar, has an endless amount of energy, and an interesting aura of sex appeal. Then, and only then, can you say you’ve seen someone like Yungblud." - musicinminnesota.comYUNGBLUD. A striking new musical voice has emerged for Gen-Z. Political, provocative and impassioned, Yungblud has in the space of three years become one of the UK’s most recognisable artists through his unique blend of pop, punk and emo music - gaining one of the most die-hard fanbases on the planet in the process.From 21st Century Liability, where nothing was sacred – gun violence, psychosis, sex, drugs and suicide – to his sophomore album Weird!, an exploration of oddity and self-acceptance, YUNGBLUD challenges our zeitgeist as much as he channels it.This is the first fully authorised book, featuring photographs by his friend and closest collaborator Tom Pallant.Featuring an amazing selection of rare and unseen photographs, All My Friends Have Deserted charts Yungblud’s journey from late 2019 as he toured his debut album across the world, right through releasing his second album during a global pandemic, scoring his first UK #1, returning triumphantly to Reading and Leeds festival mainstage and culminating in his biggest ever headline show, a sold-out Alexandra Palace in London.All My Friends Have Deserted shows YUNGBLUD as a man of multitudes: dominating the stage, screaming into the mic, laughing behind-the-scenes, enjoying quiet creative moments and pulling faces at the camera. The vicious energy of his performances carries onto the page. The result is a rollercoaster of a photo-essay that carries readers on a journey through the highs and lows of Gen-Z’s most essential new rock star.“My generation is over being divided. Being divided is an old concept that is rapidly becoming obsolete. We are opinionated. We are full of contradictions. That’s the beauty of it. Our intention is to make this world equal. No matter what size you are, what shape you are, what colour you are, what sexuality you are...”Underpinning it all is the message of empathy. Those who his lyrics resonate with are not alone. Authentic and electric, rebellious and irreverent, yet still utterly human, YUNGBLUD is the new face of punk. Here he presents himself through a series of exclusive and unseen photographs, taken by his friend and closest collaborator, photographer Tom Pallant.

"All My Sons" by Arthur Miller is a gripping drama that explores complex themes of family, guilt, and morality in the context of the American Dream. The play is set shortly after World War II and revolves around the Keller family. Joe Keller, the patriarch, is a successful businessman who, during the war, knowingly sold defective airplane parts to the military, leading to the deaths of 21 pilots. This secret is a heavy burden, hidden from his family and the public.The play begins with the return of Joe's son, Chris Keller, who has survived the war and is now planning to marry Ann Deever, the former fiancée of his missing-in-action brother, Larry. Ann's father, Joe's former business partner, is imprisoned for the crime Joe committed, having taken the fall to protect Joe.The central conflict arises as the truth about Joe's actions gradually comes to light. Chris, who idolizes his father and believes in the American Dream of hard work and integrity, is devastated by the revelation. The family's secrets and lies lead to intense confrontations and moral reckonings, as Chris struggles to reconcile his father's actions with his own values.The themes of responsibility and business ethics are crucial, as Joe's justification for his crime—that he did it for the sake of his family's financial security—clashes with the tragic consequences of his actions. The play's climax reveals the profound impact of Joe's decisions on his family and community, ultimately leading to a tragic and poignant conclusion.Through its exploration of guilt, betrayal, and the quest for justice, "All My Sons" critiques the darker side of the American Dream and highlights the moral dilemmas individuals face when personal gain is prioritized over ethical responsibility.

A mesmeric, harrowing and uplifting childhood memoir that will open up much-needed conversations about identity and mental health''This will blow you away''- Stylist''Joly''s prose is sensitive and heartbreaking...darkly compelling'' - Business Post''An extraordinary and thought-provoking memoir'' - Belfast TelegraphIt was an ordinary day in 2016. In Gatwick Airport, Jonathan and his wife Anna were having breakfast with their two little children while waiting for their flight to be called. And then it happened, a familiar sensation that Jonathan hadn''t had for decades: an out-of-body experience that transported him to another place, the safe place he used to escape to in his mind when he was a boy. Because growing up in conservative 1980s Dublin, where there was little tolerance for children who were ''different'', Jonathan Joly was, indeed, a different sort of child: creative, expressive, and - on the inside - a girl. The limitations of the people around him to understand his differences led to years of tyrannical bullying and abuse, forcing him to withdraw within himself to the point of clinical absence. His only chance for survival was the inner world he created for himself, rich with loving and supportive friends and playmates, that only he could see. Jonathan''s invisible friends were his lifeline, and on that day at the airport, they came flooding back, and have remained with him to this day. This extraordinary childhood memoir is not only an important, thought-provoking and exhilarating read, it gives hope and community for all those who have ever felt ''other'', and proves how vital it is to provide children with the safe space to be themselves. In All My Friends are Invisible, Jonathan Joly, known widely as one of social media''s most successful content creators, shares the secret he''s kept hidden these many years. He shows the beautiful world he retreated to time and time again when life was unbearable for his ''skin machine''. Most importantly, he introduces us to his invisible friends, and in so doing you may be transported back to the friends you had as a child that no one else could see, and who may have saved you, too.''When you find yourself living in a world that doesn''t understand you, and you lack any connection to anyone or any place, you are faced with few options. You can choose to leave this world and hope whatever lies beyond ends up being better, or you can create your own. It will require grit, hardship, pain and suffering, but the rewards will be great, and the journey will be greater, and the adventures will be endless. So, at a very young age and faced with these options, I chose the latter.''

Winner of the American Book Award, the Palestine Book Award and Arrowsmith Press''s 2023 Derek Walcott Poetry PrizeNational Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry Finalist“Written from his native Gaza, Abu Toha’s accomplished debut contrasts scenes of political violence with natural beauty."—The New York TimesIn this poetry debut Mosab Abu Toha writes about his life under siege in Gaza, first as a child, and then as a young father. A survivor of four brutal military attacks, he bears witness to a grinding cycle of destruction and assault, and yet, his poetry is inspired by a profound humanity.These poems emerge directly from the experience of growing up and living in constant lockdown, and often under direct attack. Like Gaza itself, they are filled with rubble and the ever-present menace of surveillance drones policing a people unwelcome in their own land, and they are also suffused with the smell of tea, roses in bloom, and the view of the sea at sunset. Children are born, families continue traditions, students attend university, and libraries rise from the ruins as Palestinians go on about their lives, creating beauty and finding new ways to survive.Accompanied by an in-depth interview (conducted by Ammiel Alcalay) in which Abu Toha discusses life in Gaza, his family origins, and how he came to poetry.Praise for Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear:“Mosab Abu Toha is an astonishingly gifted young poet from Gaza, almost a seer with his eloquent lyrical vernacular … His poems break my heart and awaken it, at the same time. I feel I have been waiting for his work all my life.”—Naomi Shihab Nye“Though forged in the bleak landscape of Gaza, he conjures a radiance that echoes Miłosz and Kabir. These poems are like flowers that grow out of bomb craters and Mosab Abu Toha is an astonishing talent to celebrate.”—Mary Karr"Mosab Abu Toha''s Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear arrives with such refreshing clarity and voice amidst a sea of immobilizing self-consciousness. It is no great feat to say a complicated thing in a complicated way, but here is a poet who says it plain: ''In Gaza, some of us cannot completely die.'' Later, ''This is how we survived.'' It’s remarkable. This is poetry of the highest order."—Kaveh Akbar

Guy Pratt''s life as bass player to the stars. The book behind the successful comedy show.Guy Pratt came of age just as playing bass became cool, with the likes of Paul Simonon and Bruce Foxton. Having dallied with Funkapolitan, Pratt suddenly found himself on Top of the Pops and supporting David Bowie with smooth Australian outfit Icehouse. At a ludicrously young age Guy Pratt became a sought after bass player to the stars, finding himself crawling from studio to bar, from hotel to stadium portacabin with Robert Palmer, Womack & Womack, Bernard Edwards, Bryan Ferry and David Crosby, etc. The eighties were in their prime, and with a number of Crolla-suited appearances in windswept videos behind him, he was invited to join Pink Floyd for a series of stadium of extravaganzas to make Bono & co look fairly modest. Pratt has recorded with Madonna, and spent time in the studio with Michael Jackson. He was in The Smiths for a week, has travelled through customs in a wheelchair after a flight with Jimmy Page, and has lived to tell all. MY BASS AND OTHER ANIMALS emerges from the successful stand-up tour of the same name. It charts his journey from a Mod band in Southend to playing with Roxy Music at Live 8.

What is Madness? is Darian Leader''s probing study of madness, sanity, and everything in betweenWhat separates the sane from the mad? How hard or easy is it to tell them apart? And what if the difference is really between being mad and going mad?In this landmark work Darian Leader undermines common conceptions of madness. Through case studies like the apparently ''normal'' Harold Shipman, he shows that madness rarely conforms to standard models. What is Madness? explores the idea of quiet madness - that at times many of us live interior lives that are far from sane but allow us to function normally and unthreateningly - he argues that we must seek a new way to assess, treat and deal with those suffering mental health problems.What is Madness? is Darian Leader''s radically insightful and masterfully convincing exploration of a painful, complex but endlessly fascinating area of humanity.''A terrific intellectual stylist'' Joseph O'' Neill, Guardian''Engrossing and enlightening . . . Leader is as much a philosopher as a psychoanalyst'' Metro''The mad . . . have been segregated and often confined; for fear, perhaps, that they will contaminate the rest of us. But as Darian Leader brilliantly shows, things are never so simple'' Hanif Kureshi, Independent''Provides valuable insights into how psychiatry can help those who have suffered psychosis to rebuild their lives'' Sunday Times''Witty, probing. A myth-busting diagnosis of the method in our madness'' Independent''Leader''s insights could have radical consequences for the way we regard madness'' Daily Telegraph''Fascinating. A formidable grasp of psychiatric history and a storyteller''s flair for detail. What Leader does so effectively is to give us a sense of what it might be like to live inside the mind of a psychotic. A humane and timely book'' New Statesman''Superb insights, brilliant'' Observer''One of our most important contemporary thinkers'' GuardianDarian Leader is a psychoanalyst practising in London and a member of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research and of the College of Psychoanalysts - UK.

Tato novinka v řadě Spring Bow je určena pro rybáře, kteří potřebují delší rukojeť podběráku, ale zároveň požadují lehkost a pevnost prémiového modelu Spring Bow. Tato novinka v řadě Spring Bow je určena pro rybáře, kteří potřebují delší rukojeť podběráku, ale zároveň požadují lehkost a pevnost prémiového modelu Spring Bow. Spring Bow 5+5 nabízí všechny prémiové vlastnosti původního Spring Bow – reverzně zúženou rukojeť, schopnost plavat i bez přídavného plováku a ultralehký, ale mimořádně pevný karbon. V této prodlužovací verzi jsme navíc zesílili žebra v JAG-engineered spojovacím bloku, čímž bylo dosaženo ještě větší pevnosti a spolehlivosti. Hlavním rozdílem je vícedílná rukojeť. Podběrák je dodáván se standardní 5' rukojetí se spigotovým spojem, kterou lze prodloužit o další 5' nástavec nebo kratší 2' nástavec, čímž vznikne 10' nebo 7' rukojeť.Díky těmto variabilním nástavcům je podběrák maximálně univerzální – ať už při lovu na vodách s mělkými břehy, nebo tam, kde je výrazný spád k hladině. Při lovu se zig rigem využití plné délky 10′ výrazně usnadňuje podebírání ryb.Je však důležité zmínit, že samotná 5' rukojeť není určena k používání bez nástavců – vždy je třeba přidat buď 2' nebo 5' prodloužení.Tyto nástavce jsou vybaveny precizně opracovaným nerezovým hrotem, který chrání konec rukojeti. Podběrák je dostupný pouze ve verzi s 42” mělkou sítí a dodává se s odolným transportním pouzdrem v dark kamo provedení, který má samostatnou kapsu na síť. Prodlužovací verze původního Spring Bow Extrémně lehký Super pevný a tuhý 5' reverzně zúžená rukojeť + dva nástavce (2' a 5') Nerezová koncovka s hrotem Zesílený hliníkový JAG-engineered spojovací blok 15 mm slot na izotop (izotop NENÍ součástí balení) CNC obráběné eloxované hliníkové koncovky ramen se zaoblením Odolná, nenatahující se šňůra Podběrák plave i bez dodatečných plováků Hexmesh mělká síť Odolné transportní pouzdro v dark kamo provedení

JAK SE DO LESA VOLÁ, TAK SE Z NĚJ OZÝVÁ.Největší hrdina Mýtova, Velký zlý vlk, je mrtvý. Jeho manželka Sněhurka bodla Wolfiho hanebného vraha do srdce. A jedno z jejich dětí je teď novým Severákem, s veškerou mocí a povinnostmi, které bohu náleží.Ano, pro obyvatele Mýtova začíná nové a podivné období. A to je ta nejvhodnější chvíle oprášit staromódní styl krále Artuše! Sněhurčina sestra Růženka, která je nyní avatarem Naděje, je přesvědčená, že hrstka rytířů v zářivých zbrojích je přesně to, co teď nesčetné mytické světy potřebují. Buduje proto nový Kamelot, z popela toho starého, a potřebuje k tomu pár (tisíc) dobrých hrdinů. Aby se však mohla stát moderní legendou, bude muset Růženka použít síly, o kterých ani nevěděla, že jimi vládne – a stvořit si nepřátele, které nebude schopná porazit. Protože kdykoliv a kdekoliv se objeví Kamelot, nese s sebou zároveň semínka své vlastní zkázy... Taste meče a přísahejte věrnost knize Mýty: Kamelot, obsahující sešity 130–140 série Mýty, které pro vás vytvořili Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha a celá plejáda dalších tvůrců od kulatého stolu talentů.

''A deep, personal, clever and witty book'' Michael Rosen | ''Funny, moving, wise and then very funny again'' John O''Farrell | ''clear-eyed, humane and engaging'' Observer | ''inspiring'' GuardianI feel like there’s a leopard in my house, locked in a room. I’ve contacted the leopard authorities and they assure me they are used to dealing with leopards like this, and they have a plan for removing the leopard. It will take a while, though, and once in a while I can hear it growl.And that’s all very reassuring. Even so, several times a day I think to myself: “Hang on, there’s a leopard in my house.”One morning, while shaving, the comedian Mark Steel noticed that one side of his neck seemed larger than the other. After a whistlestop tour of assorted medical professionals, a consultant delivered the ominous words that would define the next months of his life: ‘I’m afraid it’s not good news, Mr Steel’.And so began a journey into the heart of the NHS, as he embarked on the long and uncertain road to cancer recovery via a range of mildly torturous and entirely miraculous treatments. What, if anything, might he learn about himself – and our capacity for coping with life when times get tough – as he becomes part of a club that one in two British people will ultimately join?A frank and funny diary of one man’s rather trying year, this is an unforgettable and uplifting story of getting ill, getting on with it, and getting better.

Jess''s poetry books have sold over 80,000 copies worldwide!"You''ll always be my babyjust heavier to holdyou''ll always be my beginningbut a comfort that feels oldyou''ll always be my heartbeatA familiar but new soundYou''ll always be the ticking clockin a world you made slow down...."''My After All'', named after Jess''s viral poem, is her final book in the series of early motherhood poetry and prose, after ''From One Mom to a Mother'' and ''All I See Is You'', which have sold tens of thousands worldwide. It delves into the raw and the real with a beauty that shines through even the messy truths. These pieces reflect the love we have for our growing children, our transformation as mothers, and our relationships post kids.Jess doesn''t "leave frills around the fabric of early motherhood", she writes about the love we live and breathe for them, but also the things we find hard to talk about, some things that might leave you saying, "me too".This book of poetry & prose will leave you feeling empowered and seen, listened to and understood.These pages are for those late nights, your bedside, or gifts."Jessica''s writing was the postpartum life raft I didn''t know I needed until I found it. I really struggled with the monumental shift that becoming a mother can be, when I found Jessica''s poetry I felt seen, heard, less alone and validated. Her words are healing, deeply relatable and the comforting tonic all new mothers should have on their bedside table. Her children''s books are equally as wonderful, my little boy adored The Rainbow in my Heart so much and we regularly take the sentiments from it to help him through emotional ups and downs. A must for every little girl and boy''s book shelf." - Caroline Foran, No1 Best Selling Author of ''Owning It''"Jessica''s words and poems were a lifeline for me during the hardest most lonely postpartum nights. I''d read them with tears streaming down my face at 2am and know that at least I wasn''t the only one who''d ever felt all of this overwhelming pain and love and fear. Becoming a new mom is so much more than anyone can prepare you for, but, these poems can be a guiding light in the dark." - Rachel Platten, Singer & Song WriterJessica is also a best selling author of ''The Rainbow In My Heart'', a children''s picture book on emotions, with other books ''My Superpowers'', and ''You Hung The Moon'', a gift book for mothers.Jess''s poems can also be found on Etsy.www.jessicaurlichs.com(See hardback edition for additional pages of bonus poems)

''Not since Joan Didion in her prime has a writer reported from inside inside a system gone mad with this much style, intelligence and wit ... A perfect book'' Caitlin FlanaganFrom former New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles comes an irreverent romp through the sacred spaces of the new left.As a Hillary voter, a New York Times reporter, and a frequent attendee at her local gay bars, Nellie Bowles fit right in with her San Francisco neighbors and friends - until she started questioning whether the progressive movement she knew and loved was actually helping people.When her colleagues suggested that asking these questions meant she was ''on the wrong side of history,'' Bowles did what any reporter worth her salt would do: she started investigating for herself. The answers she found were stranger - and funnier - than she’d expected.In Morning After the Revolution, Bowles gives readers a front-row seat to the absurd drama of a political movement gone mad. With irreverent accounts of attending a multi-day course on ''The Toxic Trends of Whiteness,'' following the social justice activists who run ''Abolitionist Entertainment, LLC,'' and trying to please the New York Times''s ''disinformation czar,'' she deftly exposes the more comic excesses of a movement that went from a sideshow to the very centre of Western life.Deliciously funny and painfully insightful, Morning After the Revolution is a moment of collective psychosis preserved in amber.

Folk horror fans take heart as the old world beckons with the coming of Spring!

Ridenour''s first book, Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas: Roots and Rebirth of the Folkloric Devil (2018) is considered by critics the definitive authority on pagan winter celebrations. Aside from his books and podcast, Ridenour is a sought-after expert and lecturer.

Madness is something that frightens and fascinates us all. It is a word with which we are universally familiar, and a condition that haunts the human imagination. Through the centuries, in poetry and in prose, in drama and in the visual arts, its depredations are on display for all to see. A whole industry has grown up, devoted to its management and suppression. Madness profoundly disturbs our common sense assumptions; threatens the social order, both symbolically and practically; creates almost unbearable disruptions in the texture of daily living; and turns our experience and our expectations upside down. Lunacy, insanity, psychosis, mental illness - whatever term we prefer, its referents are disturbances of reason, the passions, and human action that frighten, create chaos, and yet sometimes amuse; that mark a gulf between the common sense reality most of us embrace, and the discordant version some humans appear to experience. Social responses to madness, our interpretations of what madness is, and our notions of what is to be done about it have varied remarkably over the centuries. In this Very Short Introduction, Andrew Scull provides a provocative and entertaining examination of the social, cultural, medical, and artistic responses to mental disturbance across more than two millennia, concluding with some observations on the contemporary accounts of mental illness.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS COMES PRECIOUS FREEDOM, A NOVEL OF THE WAR IN VIETNAM. The Vietnam War was a tragedy for America—and for Vietnam. But for the Vietnamese, it was also a victory: they defeated the world’s wealthiest country and most powerful military. James Bradley, the author of Flags of Our Fathers, began to wonder, How did they win?Precious Freedom explores this question in a powerful novel that is drawn from the pages of history. Informed by ten years of research and hundreds of interviews with US Marines, Viet Cong snipers, and Vietnamese fighters, politicians, and leaders, Precious Freedom is storytelling at its finest. In 1967, nineteen-year-old Chip Zobel enlists in the Marines, answering his government''s call to defend democracy in South Vietnam. But what he finds on the ground shakes his faith: poisoned punji sticks, rotting uniforms, Agent Orange–tainted drinking water, constant ambushes, a brutal case of malaria—and the realization that many of the Viet Cong he’s fighting are actually South Vietnamese locals—the men and women he thought he was fighting to defend.Back home, Chip''s mother, Betty, initially a staunch supporter of the war, begins to question its morality. His father, Hank, a former Navy corpsman who fought in the Battle of Saipan during World War II, grows skeptical as he begins to read US military reports that compare Ho Chi Minh to George Washington—a fierce patriot who leads his people to freedom.Meanwhile, in a quiet Vietnamese hamlet, fifteen-year-old May watches as a US Marine kills her father. She flees to the forest and joins a Viet Cong training camp. Three months later, she makes her first kill as a sniper—eventually, she will kill four more Americans with her rifle. Unbeknownst to her, her path will ultimately cross with that of the Marine who killed her father—Chip Zobel.James Bradley wrote Precious Freedom to honor all who served in Vietnam and to help a new generation understand the war’s complex truths.This is a story that America has never been told.“James Bradley journeyed to Iwo Jima and returned with Flags of Our Fathers and now ventures to Vietnam and brings us Precious Freedom, where he reveals that if we’d known what happened in the 1960s in Vietnam, American mothers would never have sent their children to Iraq and Afghanistan. The truth is the best vaccination against great lies.”—Oliver Stone
