the musings of a misunderstood man duncan jay

Tickled by the absurdities of life and in awe of nature’s complexities, Duncan Jay shares his thoughts on the comedy and tragedy, the calm and tumultuous, the light and darkness from the circle of life. These poems look at life from ground level, how people, flora and fauna act individually and together. Duncan is also drawn to create a visual element to his thoughts with use of his photography of textures, colours, shapes and patterns that people and the natural world produce. It is a combination of poems, single lines and stanzas that either create an image in mind or a story to follow. The poetry and pictures are there to make you think about how life really is; whether happy, sad, tragic, inspiring, offensive, complementary, comical or damned right absurd. Words and images come together in this book to create the Musings of a Misunderstood Man.

This book provides an account of the evolution of social security and employment policy and governance in Britain between 1973 and 2023. It explains how this remaking of policy and governance shaped, and was shaped by, the transformation of the labour market and power of claimants and workers. Advancing a class-centred explanation, the text situates contemporary working age active labour market policy as the contingent outcome of a long struggle over curtailment of labour autonomy and the challenges arising from policy ‘success’ for securing social cohesion, state legitimacy and better economic conditions for growth.

One of the key foundation books of the English Reformation, The Obedience of a Christian Man (1528) makes a radical challenge to the established order of the all-powerful Church of its time. Himself a priest, Tyndale boldly claims that there is just one social structure created by God to which all must be obedient, without the intervention of the rule of the Pope. He argues that Christians cannot be saved simply by performing ceremonies or by hearing the Scriptures in Latin, which most could not understand, and that all should have access to the Bible in their own language - an idea that was then both bold and dangerous. Powerful in thought and theological learning, this is a landmark in religious and political thinking.

In this darkly funny and deliciously twisted collection of modern cautionary tales, children who lie, cheat, and misbehave meet the most dreadful of ends. Meet the girl whose lies lead to a most unfortunate encounter with the dreaded Propeller Man, the boy whose own filthy bedroom turns against him, and the child who watches so much TV he becomes the very chair in which he sits. Inspired by the wicked works of Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann and Hilaire Belloc, these rhyming tales warn of the terrible consequences awaiting those who refuse to mend their ways. Perfect for older children with a taste for the macabre (and adults who never outgrew their love for Roald Dahl and Edward Gorey), this collection is a gleefully sinister reminder that reckless behaviour never goes unpunished… Read at your peril!

Beyond its housing estates and identikit high streets there is another Britain. This is the Britain of mist-drenched forests and unpredictable sea-frets: of wraith-like fog banks, druidic mistletoe and peculiar creatures that lurk, half-unseen, in the undergrowth, tantalising and teasing just at the periphery of human vision. How have the remarkably persistent folkloric traditions of the British Isles formed and been formed by the identities and psyches of those who inhabit them? In her sparkling new history, Carolyne Larrington explores the diverse ways in which a myriad of imaginary and fantastical beings has moulded the cultural history of the nation. Fairies, elves and goblins here tread purposefully, sometimes malignly, over an eerie, preternatural landscape that also conceals brownies, selkies, trows, knockers, boggarts, land-wights, Jack o''Lanterns, Barguests, the sinister Nuckleavee, or water-horse, and even Black Shuck: terrifying hell-hound of the Norfolk coast with eyes of burning coal.Focusing on liminal points where the boundaries between this world and that of the supernatural grow thin those marginal tide-banks, saltmarshes, floodplains, moors and rock-pools wherein mystery lies the author shows how mythologies of Mermen, Green men and Wild-men have helped and continue to help human beings deal with such ubiquitous concerns as love and ...
