A study and a guidance device, the first book on the Royal Book Lodge (RBL) is the culmination of a three-year exploration by renowned art historian John C. Welchman. It examines the contribution of the RBL to an array of art, film and performance practices including photography, ceramics, writing, and publishing—centered on the creation of artist books and the powerful and wide-ranging dialogue and material experimentations they engender. The volume unfolds from various cultural and political geographies, including in the Parisian suburb of Montreuil which served as an HQ, beginning in 1989; and narratives of migrations and travels, art-inflected or otherwise, in Iceland, Paraguay, Eastern Europe, Los Angeles and on the Ligurian coast of Italy. It unpacks questions caught up in constructs of autobiography, fiction, ideas and images of remote control, and the relation of RBL to the aftermath of the Situationist International, concluding with the RBL’s socially urgent inquiry into experiences—and culturally pharmacological contestations—of violence. Royal Book Lodge The Royal Book Lodge emerged from a collaboration between artists Juli Susin and Veronique Bourgoin in mid-1980's expanding its Collection and Archive and other activities after the turn of the millennium with the assistance of Yasha Gofman.

The Little Grasshopper and the Big Ball of Dung is the second book in a series of children''s books with NLP by The English Sisters, preceded by The Little Sparrow and the Chimney Pot. It is designed to appeal to young children and ideal for story time. The little grasshopper bumps into a wise dung beetle rolling a ball of dung up a big hill. The little grasshopper rather cheekily wants to do what the dung beetle is doing ''his way'' and has a go. He soon learns that it s not as easy as it looked. The little grasshopper then decides to listen to the wise dung beetle and models the dung beetle ''doing as he does''. At the end of the story he successfully models the dung beetles behaviour and achieves his desired outcome. Modelling excellence is at the heart of NLP. As humans we can model any behaviour by simply mastering the beliefs, the physiology and the thought processes that underline the skill or behaviour. For young children it is essential that these fundamental NLP skills are learnt so that they acquire the necessary skills for lifelong learning. The Little Grasshopper and the Ball of Dung is ...
