The title of Elaine Beckett’s debut collection suggests a process of unstoppable change. Moments of personal and global crisis are juxtaposed, and examined from different perspectives so that her poems reveal how humanity is in a constant state of flux. This is ambitious work, acute in its commitment to the truth of lived experience. Beckett’s watch-maker’s eye for detail, impeccable ear, and intricate use of poetic form, reveal truths with a compassion that moves her work way beyond the confessional. Arranged in seven short sequences, that spiral round themes of loss, betrayal, delight and re-birth, this is a beautifully wrought collection; at times hard hitting and painful, yet funny and moving, and always surprising. ‘Occasionally a poet comes along pretty much fully formed. That is what I felt when I first read Elaine Beckett’s poems. Not only her voice - brazen, tender, angry and funny - but how it’s held in structures of great poise and resonance. Absurd and revelatory, sometimes painful, these poems, steeped in a dark, ironic lyricism, are to be read and read again.’ – Greta StoddartDebut collection from Faber New Poets 13 author Elaine Beckett, whose Covid related poem Thursday went viral recently after being published in poetry review...Thursday When the dusk comes in as quiet as thisas low as this, as dense as this,! like your whole world has gone back to where it began and you wonder how you got into this mess the kind of mess you cannot see an end to as if it may already have ended very badly and all you can hear is the sound of your own name spoken deep inside your own head, it is probably best to step back from whatever kind of brink you imagine you have reached and think about something else, something small and practical like boiling an egg.

*Top 10 Sunday Times bestseller*The Pebbles on the Beach was first published in 1954. This newly reissued edition includes a foreword by Robert Macfarlane. There is a handy illustrated guide to identifying pebbles on the reverse of the book jacket.Pebble-hunting is a pleasant hobby that makes little demand upon one''s patience and still less upon one''s physical energy. (You may even enjoy the hunt from the luxurious sloth of a deck chair). One of the true delights of the pebble-seeker is to read the stories in the stones - to determine whence and by what means they came to be there. We must always bear in mind that a pebble is a transient thing. It is in the half-way stage of a long existence . . .This is a book about the simple pleasure of pebble spotting. Clarence Ellis is a charming, knowledgeable and witty guide to everything you didn''t know there was to know about pebbles. He ruminates on what a pebble actually is, before showing us how they are formed, advising on the best pebble-spotting grounds in the UK, helping to identify individual stones, and giving tips on the necessary kit. You''ll know your chert from your schist, your onyx from your agate, and will be on your guard for artificial intruders before you know it. Understanding the humble pebble makes a trip to the beach, lake-side or river bank simply that little bit more fascinating.

Je vaše dítě… citlivé téměř na vše - škrábající oblečení, nezvyklé chutě, hlasité zvuky a změnu v navyklém denním režimu? Má bohatou fantazii, často sní, bojí se strašidelných filmů anebo bývá nesmělé a stydlivé v nových situacích? Je snadno zranitelné, špatně snáší kritiku a vždy se snaží udělat vše správně? Pokud ano, možná patří k 15 až 20 procentům dětí, které se rodí vysoce citlivé, to znamená, že nad vším hluboce přemýšlejí, vnímají i jemné podněty, detaily a nuance a bývají snadno zahlcené. Díky těmto vlastnostem může být vaše dítě velmi inteligentní, svědomité a tvořivé, ale pokud se mu nedostává správné výchovy anebo vhodného přístupu ve škole, může být neobvykle plaché či stydlivé anebo přehnaně emocionální. Jen málo rodičů a učitelů však chápe skutečnou příčinu tohoto jeho chování, v důsledku čehož bývají vysoce citlivé děti často označovány jako nejisté, stydlivé, ustrašené anebo malicherné či bývají považovány za „problémové děti“ (nebo jim dokonce bývá mylně diagnostikována porucha pozornosti). V této průkopnické knize vám psychoterapeutka Elaine Aron vysvětlí, že pokud se vám či vašemu okolí zdá, že vaše dítě trpí uvedenými problémy, ve skutečnosti může být pouze vysoce citlivé. Současně vám vysvětlí, že jestliže se vysoce citlivým dětem dostane správné péče a pochopení, mohou z nich vyrůst šťastní, zdraví a úspěšní dospělí lidé. Tato kniha je založena na mnohaletých autorčiných zkušenostech s prací s vysoce citlivými dětmi a jejich rodinami i na jejím vlastním výzkumu dětského temperamentu. Najdete zde informace o tom, jak překonat problémy spojené s výchovou vysoce citlivého dítěte; čtyři klíče k výchově šťastného vysoce citlivého dítěte i rady, jak mu pomoci vzkvétat v tomto necitlivém světě a jak si poradit s životem ve škole a problémy ve vztazích s ostatními dětmi. V druhé části knihy se seznámíte s potřebami a specifickými výchovnými postupy v jednotlivých obdobích života svého vysoce citlivého dítěte od narození až do jeho dospělosti a odchodu z domova. Kniha Vysoce citlivé děti je neocenitelným průvodcem nejen pro rodiče, ale i učitele a všechny ostatní, kteří s nimi přicházejí do kontaktu. Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. je vysoce citlivým člověkem a autorkou světového bestseleru Vysoce citliví lidé a několika dalších knih o vysoké citlivosti. Vystudovala klinickou psychologii na Yorské univerzitě v Torontu a později získala doktorát z psychologie, absolvovala také výcvik na Jungově institutu v San Francisku. Věnuje se své úspěšné soukromé psychoterapeutické praxi a současně se proslavila svými výzkumy v oblasti rodinných vztahů a odbornými vědeckými články. Pořádá přednášky, semináře a kurzy pro veřejnost a vysoce citlivé lidi po celých Spojených státech. První průvodce pro rodiče vysoce citlivých dětí

Trans-Am Challengers: The Story Behind Detroit''s Racing RevolutionIn April 1964, Ford’s Mustang pony car stormed onto the scene, igniting a sales phenomenon that forced Detroit’s other automakers to scramble to create their own competitors. Around the same time, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) was transforming from a purely amateur organisation into a professional racing powerhouse, introducing prize-money championships.By 1966, the SCCA launched two landmark series: the Canadian-American Challenge Cup (Can-Am) and the Trans-American Sedan Championship (Trans-Am). While Can-Am focused on unlimited FIA Group 7 sports cars, Trans-Am catered to FIA Group 2 touring cars, with classes divided by engine sizes: up to 2000cc and 2001-5000cc. The Over-2000cc class was crafted specifically with the Mustang in mind, ensuring Ford’s interest and leveraging the growing pony car wars.Chevrolet answered Ford’s Mustang with the launch of the Camaro in September 1966, sparking fierce competition on the track and in showrooms. Soon, Mercury, Pontiac, Dodge, Plymouth, and AMC joined the fray, turning the Trans-Am series into a battleground for Detroit’s ‘Big Four’. Manufacturers saw Trans-Am success as a path to dominance, investing heavily in developing race-ready cars and unleashing low-production homologation specials like the Mustang Boss 302, Camaro Z28, Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am, AMC Javelin Mark Donohue Edition, Dodge Challenger T/A, and Plymouth ’Cuda AAR—now some of the rarest and most valuable classic American cars.Beyond the famous Mustang and Camaro rivalry, this book uncovers the untold stories of their challengers and the relentless pursuit of sales glory. Mercury nearly claimed the championship in 1967, and AMC triumphed in 1971 and 1972 with Penske Racing. The fierce competition left an indelible mark on American motorsport history.A chapter also explores lesser-known contenders from outside the U.S., such as Ford Falcon Sprints in the British Saloon Car Championship and the powerful Holden Monaros and Ford Falcons that dominated Australian circuits.This is more than just a tale of Mustang versus Camaro—it’s the story of an era when Detroit’s finest fought to conquer the track and the showroom floor, leaving a legacy of engineering brilliance and motorsport passion.

Zamilováváte se až po uši, ale bojíte se intimity? Máte už plné zuby toho, když vám někdo neustále říká, že jste "příliš citliví"? Je pro vás těžké respektovat partnera, který je méně citlivý než vy? Anebo jste již rezignovali na lásku s obavou, že jste příliš citliví nebo nesmělí a nevydrželi byste další zklamání? Dle statistických výzkumů bylo zjištěno, že na rozvodu se z padesáti procent podílí náš vrozený temperament. Jestliže navíc patříte k 20 procentům lidí, kteří se rodí vysoce citliví, pak se budete s největší pravděpodobností potýkat ve svých vztazích s ještě většími problémy. Vaše vysoce vnímavá nervová soustava, která má schopnost vše do hloubky zpracovávat, může být ve vašich vztazích velkou výhodou, pokud sami sobě lépe porozumíte a pokud vám lépe porozumí i váš partner.

As discussed in The Da Vinci Code... Long buried and suppressed, the Gnostic Gospels contain the secret writings attributed to the followers of Jesus. In 1945 fifty-two papyrus texts, including gospels and other secret documents, were found concealed in an earthenware jar buried in the Egyptian desert.These so-called Gnostic writings were Coptic translations from the original Greek dating from the time of the New Testament. The material they embodied - poems, quasi-philosophical descriptions of the origins of the universe, myths, magic and instructions for mystic practice - were later declared heretical, as they offered a powerful alternative to the Orthodox Christian tradition. In a book that is as exciting as it is scholarly, Elaine Pagels examines these texts and the questions they pose and shows why Gnosticism was eventually stamped out by the increasingly organised and institutionalised Orthodox Church.

In this informative, timely and often harrowing study, Elaine Showalter demonstrates how cultural ideas about ''proper'' feminine behaviour have shaped the definition and treatment of female insanity for 150 years, and given mental disorder in women specifically sexual connotations. Along with vivid portraits of the men who dominated psychiatry, and descriptions of the therapeutic practices that were used to bring women ''to their senses'', she draws on diaries and narratives by inmates, and fiction from Mary Wollstonecraft to Doris Lessing, to supply a cultural perspective usually missing from studies of mental illness.Highly original and beautifully written, The Female Malady is a vital counter-interpretation of madness in women, showing how it is a consequence of, rather than a deviation from, the traditional female role.

Published to celebrate Elaine Morgan’s centenary, this informative biography restores Morgan’s reputation and establishes her significant place in writing from Wales. It outlines her early days living only just above the poverty line in the Rhondda in a Labour/Communist steeped family, before reading English Literature at Oxford.The book details Morgan’s early career in (left-wing) adult education, her marriage to an International Brigade veteran, her continuing political engagement and her success as a writer of stories and journalism. This brought her to screenwriting and adaptations for tv, and in particular the BBC. In this her career ran in parallel with fellow Rhondda author Gwyn Thomas, and Leeworthy traces their rise and the reasons behind it.Morgan went from being among the very first women writers for radio and television to one of the pre-eminent screenplay writers in the UK. She was truly a pioneer, on whose shoulders today’s female television writers stand. She is perhaps best known for her adaptation of How Green Was My Valley, and her original screenplay, Lloyd George. Morgan spent forty years screenwriting before a radical move into anthropology and ethics, with Descent of Woman and The Aquatic Ape. These books made her even more famous and more influential, and she spoke about them at conferences around the world.Despite her enormous international reputation Morgan was essentially a Valleys person and the book explores the importance of Welsh identity to her. She was an early campaigner for Welsh language education, and became a Western Mail columnist towards the end of her life, a commentator on Welsh affairs, both political and social.Richly detailed, with never before seen photographs, this biography is essential in understanding the life and work of this important writer.
