Practical exercises, enhanced with copious photographs anddiagrams, show how to balance your front and back, left and right—yieldingskills that simultaneously address the equivalent imbalances in your horse. Note, this book was first published in the USA as New Anatomy of Rider Connection. For thepast 30-plus years, Mary Wanless and her bestselling Ride with Your Mind booksand videos have helped revolutionize the art and science of riding horses. Nowshe takes her pioneering techniques—which combine a lifetime’s influences fromthe fields of psychology, biofeedback, neuro-linguistic programming, theAlexander and Feldenkrais techniques, Tai Chi, massage, dance, anatomy, sportspsychology, and educational kinesiology—to a whole new level. In her newestbook, Wanless teams up with Anatomy Trains® creator and author Thomas Myers to examinehow the “fabric” of our bodies (fascia) can potentially allow us to generateboth stability and what so many riders find elusive even after years in thesaddle—“feel.”Recent research shows how the body-wide “net” offascia that both wraps each muscle and connects your skin to your bones can bethe source of postural imbalances and the resulting restrictions in yourmovement. Wanless posits that the difference between “average” and “elite”riders lies in the quality of connection and awareness within this fascial net,and she gives us the means to take practical and meaningful steps towardaddressing such issues, resulting in extraordinary change in the way we lookand feel on horseback.

Depending on the news you read, new tools like AI will either save or destroy us. But our response to emerging technology⠙s ⠘unprecedented⠙ threats actually follows a pattern as old as civilisation. From ancient Athens to COVID-19, social media to spam, Alicia Wanless shows how humans have always consumed information, whether accurate or not.First a new technology changes how information is shared, broadening its availability and accelerating how fast it travels. Then, as more people engage with this new content, fresh ideas arise, often challenging prevailing beliefs. Some use the new tools to promote their views, win power or simply profit, adding to the mounting information pollution. Competition and conflict follow. We scramble⠔in vain⠔to control information flows and use of the new technology. With democracies worldwide lurching from crisis to crisis, knee-jerk reactions to information conflict won⠙t suffice. What⠙s needed is an understanding of our nature as ⠘information animals⠙, in a millennia-long relationship with technology⠔and of how a content-saturated world impacts the political battle for hearts and minds.

Ren Hang, who took his life February 23, 2017, was an unlikely rebel. Slight of build, shy by nature, prone to fits of depression, the 29-year-old Beijing photographer was nonetheless at the forefront Chinese artists⠙ battle for creative freedom. Like his champion Ai Weiwei, Ren was controversial in his homeland and wildly popular in the rest of the world. He said, ⠜I don⠙t really view my work as taboo, because I don⠙t think so much in cultural context, or political context. I don⠙t intentionally push boundaries, I just do what I do.⠝ Why? Because his models, friends, and in his last years, fans, are naked, often outdoors, high in the trees or on the terrifyingly vertiginous rooftops of Beijing, stacked like building blocks, heads wrapped in octopi, body cavities sprouting phone cords and flowers, whatever entered his mind at the moment. He denied his intentions were sexual, and there is a clean detachment about even his most extreme images: the urine, the insertions, the many, many erections. In a 2013 interview VICE magazine asked, ⠜there are a lot of dicks ⠦ do you just like dicks?⠝ Ren responded, ⠜It⠙s not just dicks I⠙m interested in, I like to portray every organ in a fresh, vivid and emotional way.⠝ True though that may be, the penises Ren photographed were not just fresh and vivid, but unusually large, making one wonder just where he met his friends. In the same piece, Hang also stated, ⠜Gender isn⠙t important when I⠙m taking pictures, it only matters to me when I⠙m having sex,⠝ making him a pioneer of gender inclusiveness. Young fans still eagerly flock to his website and Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr accounts. His photographs, all produced on film, have been the subject of over 20 solo and 70 group shows in his brief six-year career, in cities as disparate as Tokyo, Athens, Paris, New York, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Vienna, and yes, even Beijing. He self-published 16 monographs, in tiny print runs, that now sell for up to $ 600. TASCHEN⠙s Ren Hang is his only international collection, covering his entire career, with well-loved favorites and many never-before-seen photos of men, women, Beijing, and those many, many erections. We take solace remembering Ren⠙s joy when he first held the book, shared by his long-time partner Jiaqi, featured on the cover.

Jet black hair, porcelain skin, bright red lips and fingernails; figures gazing intensely into the camera; young men and women posing acrobatically with bizarre props; animals and plants in the glaring light of the camera’s flash, situated in urban landscapes, private spaces, or in nature, among rice fields, lotus ponds, and cacti — Ren Hang’s photographs are painfully provocative, but also inward looking and dreamily surreal. Ren Hang depicts the human body as an abstract form, often in idiosyncratic arrangements and perspectives, combining iconic images of William Shakespeare’s dying Ophelia in a river; of Leda, daughter of a Greek king, and the Swan; and of female nudes seen from behind using a distinctive visual vocabulary that draws on abstraction, Surrealism, Dada, and both historic and contemporary photography. Ren Hang’s analog photographs use a playful, humorous visual language to relate the feelings, desires, fears, and loneliness of a young generation in China.

Shortlisted for the BMA Book Awards and Macavity Awards 2016Fourteen novels. Fourteen poisons. Just because it s fiction doesnâ ™t mean it s all made-up ...Agatha Christie revelled in the use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her books; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random â “ the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. With gunshots or stabbings the cause of death is obvious, but this is not the case with poisons. How is it that some compounds prove so deadly, and in such tiny amounts?Christie s extensive chemical knowledge provides the backdrop for A is for Arsenic, in which Kathryn Harkup investigates the poisons used by the murderer in fourteen classic Agatha Christie mysteries. It looks at why certain chemicals kill, how they interact with the body, the cases that may have inspired Christie, and the feasibility of obtaining, administering and detecting these poisons, both at the time the novel was written and today. A is for Arsenic is a celebration of the use of science by the undisputed Queen of Crime.

A nostalgic exploration of Britainâ ™s distinctive and architecturally significant seafront buildings from the 1920s to the new millennium.British seaside resorts enjoyed phenomenal popularity for much of the twentieth century. Told chronologically, this book is the first look at how resort architecture around the UK coast kept pace with changing fashions and the increasing competition of foreign destinations.Using vintage postcard images, Kathryn Ferry showcases the inherent playfulness of seaside architecture as it evolved from interwar classicism, through art deco and international modernism, to Festival of Britain-inspired mid-century style, then later to seafront tower blocks and the artificial beaches of 1970s leisure centres. Featuring a wide range of building types, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture explores everything from beach huts and bandstands to lidos, piers, theatres, hotels and amusement arcades.As climate change and the soaring cost of living provoke changing attitudes to travel, Britainâ ™s seaside has witnessed renewed popularity, making now the perfect time to champion our architectural legacy of domestic tourism. Offering a compelling reassessment, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture will appeal to fans of architecture and design who love to be beside the sea.

#39;The perfect book to escape our human-sized existence and take a tour of the atomic world instead. #39; Helen Arney, science comedian and broadcaster When we think of the periodic table we picture orderly rows of elements that conform to type and never break the rules. In this book Kathryn Harkup reveals that there are personalities, passions, quirks and historical oddities behind those ordered rows, and shows us that the periodic table is a sprawling family tree with its own black sheep, wayward cousins and odd uncles. The elements in the periodic table, like us, are an extended family - some old, some newborn, some shy and reticent, some exuberant or unreliable. Dr Harkup tells the weird and wonderful stories of just fifty two members of this family - remarkable tales of discovery, inspiration and revolution, from the everyday to the extraordinary. Some elements are relatively anonymous; others, already familiar, are seen in a new light; and old friends have surprising secrets to share. From our green-fingered friend magnesium to the devil incarnate polonium, this eclectic collection of engaging and informative stories will change the way you see the periodic table for ever.

WINNER OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE CHRISTOPHER BLAND PRIZEA BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK Truly heart-warming ... It s become my comfort book JACQUELINE WILSON Told from inside one of the UK s most overlooked professions, this home careworker s memoir is warm, raw, and unflinchingly honest. The sad moments are balanced with the funny, heartwarming ones i paperA luminous, uplifting and deeply moving memoir by a care worker, told through her funny, heartbreaking, sometimes frustrating, and always eye-opening encounters with the often overlooked and marginalised people she cares for. Kate never expected to become a home care worker. But when she left her senior role in the NHS, burnt-out and disheartened, she thought caring for people in their own homes would be a simpler job. Despite being determined not to become too involved with her customers , she soon found herself developing firm friendships, forging deep connections and bearing witness to the extraordinary drama to be found in ordinary lives. With energy, compassion and clarity, her memoir gives an astonishing insight into this unsung - and often maligned - profession, and into the hidden lives of the housebound and infirm. From Beryl who screams like a banshee whenever Kate tries to wash her, but collapses in giggles when her toes are tickled, to bawdy Mr Radbert who promised to give me his car when he can remember where he left it . Every Kind of People is clear-eyed about the challenges facing the NHS and the care system. But it is above all a celebration of humanity and of the life-changing impact of caring, on those who offer it and those who receive it. Being as close as this to someone is a uniquely precious place to be. It is a place where secrets are revealed and fears are shared and outrageous jokes are made that could not be told to anyone else. It is a coal face of human experience --- The work of a natural storyteller ... All kinds of brilliant JON McGREGORâ ˜I am in love with Kate s storytelling, her ability to see the person and her fabulous, dry humour.
