The Common Years - Cooper Jilly
During the ten years she lived at the edge of Putney Common Jilly Cooper walked daily on this expanse of green. For most of the time she lived there she kept a diary, noting the effects of the changing seasons and writing about her encounters with dogs and humans.This book is a distillation of those diaries: an affectionate and enthralling portrait - warts and all - of life on Putney Common. Never has Jilly Cooper written more lyrically about flowers, trees, birds and the natural world; more tellingly about the sorrows - as well as the joys - of caring for dogs and children; or more outrageously about the gossip, illicit romances and jealousies of life in a small community.

He couldn t pass a stray dog, an ill-treated horse or a neglected wife without rushing to the rescue. And with neglected wives the rescue invariably led to ecstatic bonking, which didn t please their erring husbands one bit.Lysander s mid-life crisis had begun at twenty-two. Reeling from the death of his beautiful mother, he was out of work, drinking too much and desperately in debt. The solution came from Ferdie, his fat, fast-operating friend: if Lysander was so good at making husbands jealous, why shouldn t he get paid for it?Let loose among the neglected wives of the ritzy county of Rutshire, Lysander causes absolute havoc. But it is only when he meets Rannaldini, Rutshire s King Rat and a temperamental, fiendishly promiscuous international conductor, that the trouble really starts. The only unglamorous woman around Rannaldini is Kitty, his plump young wife who runs his life like clockwork.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Rivals, now a major series on Disney+The most fun you can have under a Tenor...Abigail Rosen, nicknamed Appassionata, was the sexiest, most flamboyant violinist in classical music, but she was also the loneliest and the most exploited girl in the world. When a dramatic suicide attempt destroyed her violin career, she set her sights on the male-dominated heights of the conductor s rostrum.Given the chance to take over the Rutminster Symphony Orchestra, Abby is ecstatic, not realising the RSO is in hock up to its neck and is composed of the wildest bunch of musicians ever to blow a horn or caress a fiddle. Abby finds it increasingly difficult to control her undisciplined rabble and pretend she is not madly attracted to the fatally glamorous horn player, Viking O Neill, who claims droit de seigneur over every pretty woman joining the orchestra. And then Rannaldini, arch-fiend and international maestro, rolls up with Machiavellian plans of his own to sabotage the RSO.Effervescent as champagne, Jilly Cooper s novel brings back old favourites like Rupert and Taggie Campbell-Black, but also ends triumphantly with a rampageous orchestral tour of Spain and the high drama of an international piano competition.Praise for Appassionata: Delicious ...

Animals In War - Cooper Jilly
Pigeons carrying vital messages to and from the beleaguered city during the Siege of Paris; horses and mules struggling through miles of fetid mud to bring ammunition to the front in the Great War; dogs sniffing out mines for the British invasion force in the Second World War - countless brave animals have played their part in the long, cruel history of war. Some have won medals for gallantry - like G.I. Joe, the American pigeon who saved 100 British lives in Italy, and Rob, the black and white mongrel who made over twenty parachute jumps with the SAS. Too many others have died abandoned, in agony and alone, after serving their country with distinction. Jilly Cooper has here written a tribute to the role of animals in wartime. It is a tragic and horrifying story - yet it has its lighter moments too: a hilarious game of musical chairs played on camels during the Desert Campaign; and the budgie who remarked, when carried from a bombed-out East End tenement, This is my night out . This is a vivid and unforgettable record of man s inhumanity to animals, but also an astonishing story of courage, intelligence, devotion and resilience.

The Common Law - Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
The Common Law is Oliver Wendell Holmes most sustained work of jurisprudence. In it the careful reader will discern traces of his later thought as found in both his legal opinions and other writings.At the outset of The Common Law Holmes posits that he is concerned with establishing that the common law can meet the changing needs of society while preserving continuity with the past. A common law judge must be creative, both in determining the society s current needs, and in discerning how best to address these needs in a way that is continuous with past judicial decisions. In this way, the law evolves by moving out of its past, adapting to the needs of the present, and establishing a direction for the future. To Holmes way of thinking, this approach is superior to imposing order in accordance with a philosophical position or theory because the law would thereby lose the flexibility it requires in responding to the needs and demands of disputing parties as well as society as a whole.According to Holmes, the social environment--the economic, moral, and political milieu--alters over time. Therefore, in order to remain responsive to this social environment, the law must change as well. But the law is also part of this environment and impacts it. There is, then, a continual reciprocity between the law and the social arrangements in which it is contextualized. And, as with the evolution of species, there is no starting over. Rather, in most cases, a judge takes existing legal concepts and principles, as these have been memorialized in legal precedent, and adapts them, often unconsciously, to fit the requirements of a particular case and present social conditions. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935) served as chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court and as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. He was nicknamed the Great Dissenter because of his many dissenting opinions. Holmes is also the author of Kent s Commentaries on the Law (1873) and The Path of the Law (1897).Tim Griffin has advanced degrees in philosophy and law, and has taught philosophy and legal theory courses at a number of universities. He is currently a seminarian pursuing ordination to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church.

The Common - Antonio Negri
This final volume in Antonio Negri⠙s new trilogy aims to clarify and develop the ⠘common⠙ as a key concept of radical thought. Here the term is understood in a double sense: on the one hand, as a collective of production and consumption in which the domination of capital has been completely realized; on the other hand, as the cooperation of workers and citizens and their assertion of political power. The maturation of this duality was the sign of the limits of capitalism in our age; the common showed itself as the active force that recomposed production, society and life in a new experience of freedom. Today the promise of freedom seems undermined by the very institutions founded to uphold it, as the charters of western democracy seek to prioritize individualism. Negri advocates instead a free society founded on the premise that the good life is to be collectively ordered ⠓ in other words, a society that elevates the common. In his vision, giving political expression to those who work and produce is the only way of overturning totalitarian exploitation and of enabling every citizen to participate in the development of the city. Like its companion volumes, this new collection of essays by Negri will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in radical politics and in the key social and political struggles of our time.

Review of the first editionâ œAll the major areas of early childhood maths teaching and learning are covered in this powerful bookâ ¦ The book is also full of delightful storiesâ ¦ [It] would be eminently suitable for beginning and trainee teachers but would also be helpful to all those concerned in early years settings. All the relevant information is here, based on a wealth of knowledge and experience.â TESSupporting Mathematical Development in the Early Years provides practical guidance for parents, teachers and other early years workers who want to give children a good start in mathematical development. Showing how competent children are as mathematicians from an early age, the book offers an overview of young childrenâ ™s mathematical behaviour at home and in early years settings.

The Hundred Years War Vol 5 - Jonathan Sumption
â ˜Sumption is that rare and precious thing: a serious, decent, honest thinker . . . and one of our finest historians.â ™ Dan Jones, Sunday Timesâ ˜Gripping and eminently readable . . . a compelling justification for the enduring value of historical narrative.â ™ The Timesâ ˜Unsurpassed, and probably unsurpassable.â ™ Daily TelegraphIn this final volume of his epic history of the Hundred Years War, Jonathan Sumption tells the story of the collapse of the English dream of conquest, from the opening years of the reign of Henry VI until the loss of all of Englandâ ™s continental dominions except Calais thirty years later. This sudden reversal of fortune was a seminal event in the history of the two principal nation-states of western Europe, ending four centuries of the English dynastyâ ™s presence in France and separating two countries whose fortunes had once been closely intertwined, creating a new sense of national identity in both. The legacy of these events would influence their divergent fortunes for centuries to come. Behind the clash of arms stood some of the most remarkable personalities of the age: the Duke of Bedford, the English Regent who ruled much of France; Charles VII of France, who patiently rebuilt his kingdom after the disasters of his early years; the captains populating the pages of Shakespeare â “ Fastolf, Montagu, Talbot, Dunois and, above all, the extraordinary figure of Joan of Arc who changed the course of the war in a few weeks at the age of seventeen.â ˜The Hundred Years War ends in England s agonising defeat â “ but triumph for Jonathan Sumption . . . There is no doubting his achievement. It is, as everyone says, a â œmonumentalâ work.â ™ Spectator

Embracing Change and Developing Leadership in the Early Years Sector
This contemporary guide for early years practitioners and students delves into the adversity and challenges faced by the EY sector in recent times. It offers hope as it champions the unique knowledge, skills and behaviours of the EY practitioner and how they can exercise individuality in response to the diverse needs of children and their families in today s society. In addition it is fully mapped to the requirements of the new Early Years Lead Practitioner HTQ.In recent years, early years practitioners have faced significant turbulence, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, climate instability, and the underfunding and closure of childcare provision. These challenges have necessitated a re-evaluation of what it means to flourish as humans, how this can be nurtured in children, and ultimately how to optimise practice in the EY sector. The sector now has a unique opportunity to redefine its vision for children in our society. Structured to inspire, chapters delve into six key themes: the educator and developer of children, the custodian, the planner, the advocate, the collaborator, and the innovator.This book offers a reflective and challenging stance to critically evaluate the intentions that underpin EY policy and practice and how to reimagine practice in these changing times so that it aligns with child-centred values. Content is closely aligned with the new Early Years Lead Practitioner HTQ, positioning it as an essential resource for this qualification. It includes critical questions, reflective exercises, and case studies, enabling readers to directly apply their knowledge to practice and use this text as a comprehensive, one-stop guide.

The Middle Years
Both the fictional and autobiographical versions of The Middle Years are concerned with authors, acolytes, and endings rather than the middle of things. Or rather they are about, as are all the tales of James s middle years, the recognition of one s own extreme brevity Frances Wilson, from her preface to The Middle Years Other TalesThe stories in this collection represent Henry James s middle years, a time in his life which he described as misanthropic, melancholy, morbid, morose , after the reception to his earlier works. The collection includes The Author of Beltraffio , which tells of the tragic consequences of family conflict; The Middle Years which explores creative self-reflection and mortality; and The Altar of the Dead , a poetic elegy to lost places and friends. The stories have been selected not only for their subject but also for their size, the vast majority of them falling under 15 000 words. In other words, this collection s examination of the brevity of one s existence is echoed by the length of the stories themselves.Frances Wilson has selected these twelve stories and provided an original introduction to James s work.

Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, a seasoned clinical psychologist and mother, highlights ways to foster resilience, encourage open communication and build lasting connections during this crucial period. A pivotal sea change is happening in children s development. The age of puberty has been trending earlier for decades and now starts as young as 8 years old in girls and 9 in boys. Bullying doesn t just happen on the playground, but over text and DM. Depression and anxiety are drastically on the rise.

As a mother and clinical psychologist, Dr. Sheryl Ziegler knows first-hand how challenging these years can be - yet she also recognizes that this is a tender age and pivotal opportunity to connect with your child before adolescence. Dr. Ziegler masterfully unlocks the enigma surrounding modern puberty and offers evidence-based strategies, interventions and answers to middle childhood s most perplexing questions and concerns. In these pages she provides: - Science-based advice to recognize the first signs of puberty and navigate the changes to come. - Candid and actionable guidance for getting your kids to talk about anxiety, depression and their complicated feelings. - Insight into the changing world of gender and sexual identity, and how to guide your child through this complicated new landscape. - A thoughtful and sensitive discussion of how race intersects with puberty and mental health, and how all parents can approach this mindfully and inclusively. - A clear explanation of the invisible threads linking mood swings, self-image and social media exposure. - Road-tested, real-world guidance to handle bullies, mean girls and other friendship and social challenges. The Crucial Years gives you everything you need to guide your child through the hazards and thrills of puberty and help them emerge as well-rounded, confident young adults.

The Hundred Years War - Emeritus Professor Anne Curry
An illustrated overview of the Hundred Years War, the longest-running and the most significant conflict in western Europe in the later Middle Ages. There can be no doubt that military conflict between France and England dominated European history in the 14th and 15th centuries. The Hundred Years War is of considerable interest both because of its duration and the number of theatres in which it was fought. Drawing on the latest research for this new edition, Hundred Years War expert Professor Anne Curry examines how the war can reveal much about the changing nature of warfare: the rise of infantry and the demise of the knight; the impact of increased use of gunpowder and the effect of the war on generations of people. Updated and revised for the new edition, with full-colour maps and 50 new images, this illustrated introduction provides an important reference resource for the academic or student reader as well as those with a general interest in late medieval warfare.
