Nanny, Ma and me - Dominique Jordan, Kathleen Jordan, Jade Jordan

''This story is the result of long hours of delving into the pasts of my nanny and my ma. I hope it will give some insight into the experiences of one family of colour in Ireland today. Most of all, I just want to start a conversation, because once people come together to talk, the possibilities are endless.'' Jade Jordan Jade Jordan''s grandmother, Kathleen, left Ireland for England in the late 1950s to train as a nurse. While there, she fell in love and married a Jamaican man.

The View From the Corner Shop - Patricia Malcolmson, Kathleen Hey

A lively diary chronicling the ups and downs of running a grocery shop in a Yorkshire town during the rationing years of the Second World War Kathleen Hey spent the war years helping her sister and brother-in-law run a grocery shop in the Yorkshire town of Dewsbury. From July 1941 to July 1946 she kept a diary for the Mass-Observation project, recording the thoughts and concerns of the people who used the shop. What makes Kathleen's account such a vivid and compelling read is the immediacy of her writing. People were pulling together on the surface ('Bert has painted the V-sign on the shop door…', she writes) but there are plenty of tensions underneath. The shortage of food and the extreme difficulty of obtaining it is a constant thread, which dominates conversation in the town, more so even than the danger of bombardment and the war itself. Sometimes events take a comic turn. A lack of onions provokes outrage among her customers, and Kathleen writes, 'I believe they think we have secret onion orgies at night and use them all up.' The Brooke Bond tea rep complains that tea need not be rationed at all if supply ships were not filled with 'useless goods' such as Corn Flakes, and there is a long-running saga about the non-arrival of Smedley's peas. Among the chorus of voices she brings us, Kathleen herself shines through as a strong and engaging woman who refuses to give in to doubts or misery and who maintains her keen sense of humour even under the most trying conditions. A vibrant addition to our records of the Second World War, the power of her diary lies in its juxtaposition of the everyday and the extraordinary, the homely and the universal, small town life and the wartime upheavals of a nation.

The Collected Poems of Kathleen Raine - Kathleen Raine

In compiling her Collected Poems, Kathleen Raine was uniquely placed to look back on more than six decades of her poetry and to decide the canon by which she wished to be judged and remembered. From its first appearance her poetry has been recognised as possessing a rare imaginative integrity, remaining faithful to a formal purity of voice, as well as to an imagery whose resonances are at once her own voice yet speak as if from the heart of the human condition itself. These are poems of wonder, of distillation and, ultimately, of affirmation. This definitive collection demonstrates a lifetime''s commitment to the learning of the imagination, and, since original publication in 2000, has confirmed Raine''s reputation as a poet who has unfailingly given voice to a vision of life in which the temporal, in all its modes and places, is imbued with the numinous and the eternal.

Příručka pro dospělé chaotiky - Kathleen C. Nadeau, Judith Kolberg

Příručka vzniklá z netradiční spolupráce specialistky na poruchy pozornosti a odbornice na úklid, uspořádávání a třídění je určena pro dospělé, kteří mají obtíže se soustředit, nejsou schopni dokončit práci a myšlenky jim neustále zalétají jinam. Najdeme v ní vyzkoušené návody, jak zlepšit soustředění, stanovit si priority, zařídit prostředí, v němž žijeme, tak, aby se v něm dalo nerušeně pracovat, a úspěšně čelit nerealistickým očekáváním okolí.Kniha je založena na třech pilířích – strategie, podpora a strukturovanost – a na třech úrovních podpory: osobní, rodinné a profesionální. Běžné metody, jak si zorganizovat život, u osob s AD(H)D často nefungují a je třeba využívat takové, které kompenzují zapomnětlivost, roztržitost a obtíže s rozvrhováním času. Nemá smysl proti AD(H)D bojovat, ale spíše ho využívat ve svůj prospěch. Text se zabývá též třemi stupni podpůrné struktury a emočními obtížemi spojenými s AD(H)D, důležitostí plynulosti a zjednodušování, analýzou každodenních stresorů, obtížemi spojenými s rozhodováním, rozlišováním mezi významností rozhodování a perfekcionismem, kompenzací nudy, sklonem k závislostem, důležitostí stanovení priorit. Poslední část je věnována konkrétní organizaci na různých úrovních – věcí, času, informací, financí a digitálního prostoru. Judith Kolberg je zakladatelkou Institutu pro řešení neschopnosti udržovat pořádek. Napsala několik knih o netradičních metodách udržování pořádku přeložených do mnoha světových jazyků.Kathleen C.

A World Apart and Other Stories - Hayes Kathleen

Kniha překladatelky Kathleen Hayes přibližuje čtenáři vůbec první anglické překlady povídek doposud neprávem spíše opomíjených českých autorek přelomu 19. a 20. století. Soubor osmi povídek tak nespojuje pouze osoba překladatelky, ale i doba vzniku, počátek ženské emancipace na začátku 20. století. Zdařilost výběru povídek je podpořena precizním a čtivým překladem povídek Boženy Benešové, Růženy Jesenské, Marie Majerové a dalších. Kniha je doplněna životopisy všech osmi autorek.
