I Love You but I'm Not in Love with You - Andrew G. Marshall
How do you fall back in love? This was the underlying problem of one in four couples seeking help from relationship therapist Andrew G. Marshall. They described their problem as: ‘I love you but I''m not in love with you''. Noticing how widespread the phenomenon had become, he decided to look more closely. Why were these relationships becoming defined more by companionship than by passion, and why was companionship no longer enough? From his research Andrew has devised his own unique programme. By looking at how a couple communicate, argue, share love, take responsibility, give and learn he offers in seven steps a reassuring and empowering map for how two individuals can better understand themselves, strengthen their bond and recover that lost magic.

Seeing ghosts has always been part of Melody Bittersweet’s life – a quirky inconvenience at the best of times. But on her 27th birthday, she decides to finally make a career out of it by setting up her very own ghostbusting business. Her first case brings Melody to a house haunted by three brothers with a heap of unfinished business. To complicate matters, her fame-hungry ex, Leo Dark, and sceptical yet maddeningly gorgeous reporter, Fletcher Gunn, are also on the case. As Melody tries to uncover the truth, the undeniable chemistry between herself and Fletcher becomes increasingly distracting – which is less than ideal considering he's her sworn enemy hell-bent on discrediting her.

Abiding in Amen - Wesley W. Ellis
We live in a world of commodities and results, where everything must be optimized for our gain. Steeped in this environment, it''s only normal that prayer, too, would become a means to an end--and yet, reducing this mysterious encounter with the living God to a "spiritual discipline" that must be "mastered" substitutes anxiety for relationship and striving for abiding. Resources on prayer tend to emphasize activity and results, the actions of the human connecting with the divine. What we truly need is a paradigm shift.Wesley Ellis steps into this conundrum to remind us that despite what the world around us suggests, we are not in control. Prayer is God''s, not ours; we receive prayer as a gift of God''s grace and freedom, and not as something we accomplish. Ellis helps us see past our societal blinders and relax into the resonant relationship God intends.What does it mean to let God start the conversation? With gentle humor and a deeply pastoral heart, Ellis guides readers into a liberative new way of being.

Elizabeth Bishop in Context
Elizabeth Bishop is increasingly recognised as one of the twentieth century''s most original writers. Consisting of thirty-five ground-breaking essays by an international team of authors, including biographers, literary critics, poets and translators, this volume addresses the biographical and literary inception of Bishop''s originality, from her formative upbringing in New England and Nova Scotia to long residences in New York, France, Florida and Brazil. Her poetry, prose, letters, translations and visual art are analysed in turn, followed by detailed studies of literary movements such as surrealism and modernism that influenced her artistic development. Bishop''s encounters with nature, music, psychoanalysis and religion receive extended treatment, likewise her interest in dreams and humour. Essays also investigate the impact of twentieth-century history and politics on Bishop''s life writing, and what it means to read Bishop via eco-criticism, postcolonial theory and queer studies.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, lets-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limitednot everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault. Manson advises us to get to know our limitations ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Art in Theory
A ground-breaking new anthology in the Art in Theory series, offering an examination of the changing relationships between the West and the wider world in the field of art and material culture Art in Theory: The West in the World is a ground-breaking anthology that comprehensively examines the relationship of Western art to the art and material culture of the wider world. Editors Paul Wood and Leon Wainwright have included 370 texts, some of which appear in English for the first time. The anthologized texts are presented in eight chronological parts, which are then subdivided into key themes appropriate to each historical era. The majority of the texts are representations of changing ideas about the cultures of the world by European artists and intellectuals, but increasingly, as the modern period develops, and especially as colonialism is challenged, a variety of dissenting voices begin to claim their space, and a counter narrative to western hegemony develops. Over half the book is devoted to 20th and 21st century materials, though the book’s unique selling point is the way it relates the modern globalization of art to much longer cultural histories.

Art Worker: Doing Time in the New York Artworld - Alan W. Moore
In Art Worker: Doing Time in the New York Art World, Alan W. Moore weaves stories of a New York downtown art scene collectively engaged in provocative anti-curation and television production to bridge boundaries between art and the wider world. On New York in the ''70s and ‘80s, a dense cultural ecology that birthed of video art, punk, hip-hop, anti-curation and so much more. The long rolling crescendo of Art Worker comes in Alan W. Moore’s discussion of the expansive art scene around Collaborative Projects (Colab) that had its heyday from 1977 to the mid-1980s. Colab, situated in New York’s downtown art scene, was a collective that engaged in provocative anti-curation and television production in efforts to bridge boundaries between art and the wider world. Moore’s accounting makes this a very personal story. He allows us alongside him and his friends and comrades as they make things that will eventually be called “historical†– the Real Estate Show, the Times Square Show – exhibitions Colab produced that were key events for some art history. Moore entangles them within an expansive linear narrative that starts with summers of love spent tramping in Europe and days of wonder doing radical cultural programming ...

Not for Art's Sake - Quentin Blake
An art book about art that has a purpose, focusing on work by Quentin Blake that has been commissioned for a particular place or for a particular use. Illustration is the most accessible visual artform and one that is used in all aspects of life; as Quentin Blake says, 'it is, if you like, a vernacular; it’s a language that everybody understands. They may look at it and not think that they’re looking at art, but it’s having the effect on them of art. It’s a language that everybody can read, so to speak.' The work here shows Quentin using this vernacular to great effect and for very different purposes. In 2007 when Elizabeth II was opening the new Eurostar at St Pancras, Quentin was asked to hide an unsightly building across the road. He drew a 2-colour illustration on his drawing board showing a cast of characters that you might meet on a London Street; this was then blown up large enough to wrap a five-storey building. Since then he has found other opportunities for site specific work. Here are beautiful drawings of new-borns, mothers and fathers in a maternity hospital in France. Some images were etched, larger than ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Performance in Contemporary Art - Catherine Wood
Unpacking the history of performance art and celebrating the work of contemporary practitioners, a must-read for both art lovers and students alike.  Stunningly beautiful, deeply puzzling, powerfully moving, or intensely unsettling—performance art can evoke a wide variety of responses. In this important survey, Catherine Wood, one of the world’s leading curators and writers in this field, provides the broadest and most up-to-date insight into the subject yet published. Wood proposes performance not as a genre separate from object-making but as a medium that has profoundly influenced the shape of contemporary art.  From the spectacular forms of intimacy performed by Marina Abramovic to the painting processions initiated by Ei Arakawa and the social activism of Tania Bruguera, hugely divergent practices have emerged in the past 30 years that embrace the worlds of sculpture and painting, spectacle, and protest. Shifting the focus from “I” to “We” and then “It,” Performance in Contemporary Art is divided into sections that examine the perspective of the individual, the social, and the object. Wood looks at histories of performance through the lens of contemporary practitioners: the Japanese avant-garde group Gutai in the 1950s, Brazilian neo-concretism in the 1960s, and the feminist performance at Womanhouse ...

So Near, So Far. Czech art 1947-1960 in international socio-cultural contexts - Marie Klimešová, Hana Rousová
Czech visual art between 1947 and 1960 has never before been considered in a broader European context that avoids the stereotype of the "Iron Curtain.” At the same time, when looking at this period, certain clichés and stereotypes are repeatedly perpetuated, hindering the understanding of the true nature and position of Czech art during this period within the post-war world. The goal of the book is to provide a fresh evaluation of Czech art during this period, steering clear of the stereotypes associated with Central and Eastern Europe, and instead, viewing this art as integral to the multifaceted post-war evolution of Europe. This marks the first occasion in the nation's history where it comprehensively examines Czech culture during the height of dogmatism, encompassing both its official and unofficial aspects, as well as the initial years of moderate political easing. Art historians Marie Klimešová and Hana Rousová have devoted most of their professional lives to this period. To put it plainly, nobody else has delved into this complex period with such thoroughness and essential context. The text, accompanied by four hundred and fifty reproductions, undoubtedly leads to an awareness of the cohesive power of the fundamental values of European culture. These ...

Sustainability in Art, Fashion and Wine
The art, fashion and wine industries are currently at various stages in their efforts to embrace and transition towards sustainability. While sustainability commitments are a necessary condition for progress, they are not sufficient. Instead, there is a need for sweeping transformative change that includes giving serious consideration to indigenous worldviews without recolonizing them. Sustainability in Art, Fashion and Wine includes findings from recent research and contributes to a new understanding of familiar concepts such as sustainability, (de)colonization and corporate responsibility in the art, fashion and wine industries by adopting critical lenses and incorporating them with innovative perspectives on circular business models and digitalization. It endeavors to present remedies for effectively combating climate change and promoting social good. While discussing specific issues such as sub-contracted labor, safe working conditions, living wages, environmental degradation, mismanaged waste, and more, the book argues that recognizing the significant role western colonization has played – and continues to play – in the developing world in our current conception of capitalism is itself unsustainable. To understand the true meaning of sustainability – to fully recognize the looming deadlines we face in combating the climate crisis and instituting sustainability as a new normal – the acceptance of a ...
