A double-denim-loving time before the glare of social media and the accession of streaming. The bastions of #39;00s pop - armed with buoyant, immaculately crafted, carefree anthems - provided entertainment, escapism and fun for millions. It was a heady, chorus-heavy decade - populated by the likes of Steps, S Club 7, Blue, 5ive, Mis-Teeq, Hear #39;Say, Busted, Girls Aloud, McFly, Craig David and Atomic Kitten, among countless others - yet the music was often dismissed as inauthentic, juvenile, not #39;worthy #39; enough: ultimately, a #39;guilty pleasure #39;. Now, music writer Michael Cragg aims to redress that balance. Using the oral-history format, Cragg goes beneath the surface of the bubblegum exterior, speaking to hundred #39;s of the key players about the reality of their experiences. Compiled from interviews with popstars, songwriters, producers, choreographers, magazine editors, record-company executives, TV moguls and more, this is a complete behind-the-scenes history of the last great movement in British pop - a technicolour turning-point ripe for re-evaluation, documented here in astonishing, honest and eye-opening detail.

OrmondOr, The Secret Witness Vol. I (Edition2024) - Charles Brockden Brown
Ormond, Or, The Secret Witness by Charles Brockden Brown, Volume I, unfolds as a gripping American Gothic psychological thriller set against the backdrop of 18th-century Philadelphia. The novel delves into themes of conspiracy, identity, and moral ambiguity, weaving a tale of suspense that challenges Enlightenment ideals. In the bustling city of Philadelphia, the protagonist, Ormond, finds himself embroiled in a web of secrets and intrigue. As he navigates the complexities of society, Ormond becomes increasingly entangled in a conspiracy that threatens to unravel his sense of self and his understanding of those around him. The city s streets, with their shadowed alleys and hidden corners, serve as a fitting backdrop for the unfolding mystery. Brown s narrative skillfully blends suspense with philosophical inquiry, challenging readers to question the ideals of the Enlightenment era. The novel s exploration of personal and societal turmoil reflects the tensions of a young nation grappling with its own identity and the complexities of human nature. Ormond, Or, The Secret Witness captivates with its atmospheric portrayal of Philadelphia s burgeoning cityscape and its examination of timeless themes of power, identity, and the allure of hidden truths. As Volume I sets the stage for deeper revelations in subsequent volumes, readers are drawn into a world where every shadow hides a potential revelation, and every character harbors secrets that could change everything.

With a wife he loves and an exciting London-based career, architect Charles Waterston s life seems in perfect balance. Nothing in his comfortable existence prepares him for the sudden end to his ten-year marriage - or his unwanted transfer to his firm s New York office. With nothing left to lose, Charlie takes a leave of absence from his job to drive through New England, hoping to make peace with himself. Christmas is approaching when Charlie leaves New York, heading to Vermont to ski. But a sudden, blinding snowstorm strands him in a small Massachusetts town. There, as if by chance, Charlie meets an elderly widow who offers to rent him her most precious possession: a remote, exquisite lakeside chateau. Hidden deep in the woods, it once belonged to a woman who lived and died there two centuries before. Her name was Sarah Ferguson. And from the moment Charlie sets foot inside the chateau s graceful depths, he feels her presence, and longs to know more about the life she led. It is Christmas Eve when Charlie first glimpses her, a beautiful young woman with jet black hair. He thinks it is a neighbour playing a joke on him, until he finds her diaries hidden away in an old trunk. As he begins to turn the brittle, dusty pages, Sarah Ferguson comes alive. Intrigued and unafraid, Charlie immerses himself in the diaries, eager to learn more about the woman for whom the house was built. Sarah s first entry is dated 1789, the year she arrived in America. Without self-pity or sentiment, she writes of her harrowing journey from her native England, having fled the brutality of her aristocratic husband. Settling in Massachusetts, Sarah finds an unfamiliar land seething with the turbulence of the Indian wars. Determined to start a new life in the vast new world, Sarah finds freedom - and danger - as she builds her home in the wilderness and meets a man who will transform her life. His name is François de Pellerin, a French nobleman adopted by Indians and drawn into the battle for the growing nation. Their fateful union is a testament to a love so powerful it reaches across the centuries. And for Charlie Waterston, caught between Sarah s world and his own, their story is a gift - one that gives him the courage to let go of his past, and the freedom to grasp a future that is right before his eyes.In The Ghost, Danielle Steel has created a stunning blend of history and drama. Brilliantly interweaving past and present, she brings to life two stories, centuries apart, in a timeless novel of courage, healing and love.

Braving the Wilderness - Brené Brown
A timely and important new book that challenges everything we think we know about cultivating true belonging in our communities, organizations, and culture, from the #1 bestselling author of Rising Strong, Daring Greatly, and The Gifts of Imperfection.⠘True belonging doesn t require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.⠙ Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives ⠓ experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarisation. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping out a clear path to true belonging.Brown argues that what we re experiencing today is a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. She writes, ⠘True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in both being a part of something, and in standing alone when necessary. But in a culture that s rife with perfectionism and pleasing, and with the erosion of civility, it s easy to stay quiet, hide in our ideological bunkers, or fit in rather than show up as our true selves and brave the wilderness of uncertainty and criticism. But true belonging is not something we negotiate or accomplish with others; it s a daily practice that demands integrity and authenticity. It s a personal commitment that we carry in our hearts.⠙ Brown offers us the clarity and courage we need to find our way back to ourselves and to each other. And that path cuts right through the wilderness. Brown writes, ⠘The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.⠙

Atlas of the Heart - Brené Brown
In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brené Brown, writes, If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection. In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.Over the past two decades, Brown s extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown s singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn t give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.Brown shares, I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are.

Advanced Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences - Jonathon D. Brown
This book demonstrates the importance of computer-generated statistical analyses in behavioral science research, particularly those using the R software environment. Statistical methods are being increasingly developed and refined by computer scientists, with expertise in writing efficient and elegant computer code. Unfortunately, many researchers lack this programming background, leaving them to accept on faith the black-box output that emerges from the sophisticated statistical models they frequently use. Building on the author s previous volume, Linear Models in Matrix Form, this text bridges the gap between computer science and research application, providing easy-to-follow computer code for many statistical analyses using the R software environment. The text opens with a foundational section on linear algebra, then covers a variety of advanced topics, including robust regression, model selection based on bias and efficiency, nonlinear models and optimization routines, generalized linear models, and survival and time-series analysis. Each section concludes with a presentation of the computer code used to illuminate the analysis, as well as pointers to packages in R that can be used for similar analyses and nonstandard cases. The accessible code and breadth of topics make this book an ideal tool for graduate students or researchers in the behavioral sciences who are interested in performing advanced statistical analyses without having a sophisticated background in computer science and mathematics.

Father Brown is a detective like no other. A catholic cleric blessed with incredible detection abilities, he is frequently confronted with crimes that only he can solve. G.K. Chesterton was already a literary heavyweight before he created Father Brown and to him these were ephemeral and light stories, but the Father Brown series has become his most lasting and memorable work.

Maoâ ™s Communists won and took Chinaâ ™s mainland; Chiang Kai-shekâ ™s Nationalists fled to Taiwan island. Since then, China and Taiwan have drifted into being separate political and cultural entities.Taiwan is now a flourishing democracy and an economic success story: just one of its companies produces over 90 per cent of the semiconductors that power the worldâ ™s economy. It is a free and vibrant society. For the United States and the West, the island is a bastion of freedom against Chinaâ ™s assertive presence in the region. And yet China, increasingly bellicose under Xi Jinping, insists Taiwan is part of its territory and must be returned to it. Should China blockade the island and mount an invasion, it would set off a chain reaction that would pitch it against the US â “ escalating a regional war into a global one. Taiwan is thus a geopolitical powder keg.The Taiwan Story helps us understand how and why weâ ™ve arrived at this dangerous moment in history. With unparalleled access to Taiwanâ ™s political leaders and a deep understanding of the islandâ ™s history and culture, Professor Kerry Brown provides a new reading of Taiwan, its twenty-three million people, and how they navigate being caught in this frightening geopolitical standoff. This is the essential book delving into Taiwanâ ™s unique story, buried beneath the headlines, told in an accessible, expert and urgent way.

Mothers are Made - Danielle Sherman-Lazar
Motherhood is hard. It s full of plenty of moments where a mom might think, I don t know if I can do this. Danielle Sherman-Lazar has had this thought many times as she s raised her four young daughters under 10, from her struggles with breastfeeding to two of her daughters stays at the NICU. Through personal and honest stories on motherhood and her struggles with eating disorders, Mothers are Made shows how moms aren t instantly born along with their babies - mothers are made through time and experience. It s when mothers go through the fire, Danielle argues, that we are forged into resilient, brave, and courageous parents.

Journeys of the Mind - Peter Brown
A beautifully written personal account of the discovery of late antiquity by one of the worldâ ™s most influential and distinguished historiansThe end of the ancient world was long regarded by historians as a time of decadence, decline, and fall. In his career-long engagement with this era, the widely acclaimed and pathbreaking historian Peter Brown has shown, however, that the â œneglected half-millenniumâ now known as late antiquity was in fact crucial to the development of modern Europe and the Middle East. In Journeys of the Mind, Brown recounts his life and work, describing his efforts to recapture the spirit of an age. As he and other scholars opened up the history of the classical world in its last centuries to the wider world of Eurasia and northern Africa, they discovered previously overlooked areas of religious and cultural creativity as well as foundational institution-building. A respect for diversity and outreach to the non-European world, relatively recent concerns in other fields, have been a matter of course for decades among the leading scholars of late antiquity. Documenting both his own intellectual development and the emergence of a new and influential field of study, Brown describes his childhood and education in Ireland, his university and academic training in England, and his extensive travels, particularly in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. He discusses fruitful interactions with the work of scholars and colleagues that include the British anthropologist Mary Douglas and the French theorist Michel Foucault, and offers fascinating snapshots of such far-flung places as colonial Sudan, midcentury Oxford, and prerevolutionary Iran. With Journeys of the Mind, Brown offers an essential account of the â œgrand endeavorâ to reimagine a decisive historical moment.
