Lee Miller. Man Ray - Man Ray, Lee Miller, Victoria Noel-Johnson
This volume pays homage to Lee Miller (1907–77)―pioneer of Surrealist photography, war correspondent, muse and icon―and places her emphatically on a par with Man Ray (1890–1976), whose work tended to overshadow her both during her lifetime and subsequently. Through approximately 140 photographs by Miller and Man Ray, plus art works and archival imagery loaned by the Lee Miller Archives and Fondazione Marconi, Lee Miller Man Ray: Fashion, Love, War reveals a deep but complicated relationship.Man Ray met Miller in the spring of 1929 at a Paris bar called the Bateau Ivre. Miller was seeking photography lessons; Ray said he didn t take students and was about to depart for a vacation in Biarritz. So am I, she replied, becoming his apprentice and then lover. They soon established creative parity, and together discovered the solarization technique; solarized works by Miller were at the time frequently attributed to Man Ray. Alongside Miller’s iconic war photography, Fashion, Love, War also presents portraits by Man Ray of friends and important protagonists of the time, such as Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, Giorgio de Chirico, Jean Cocteau and Salvador Dalí, and Surrealist portraits of Miller.

Arthur Miller Plays 1 - Arthur Miller
The greatest American dramatist of our age. (Evening Standard)In this collected works, five of Arthur Miller s most-produced and popular plays are brought together in a new edition, alongside an exclusive introduction by Ivo van Hove, the celebrated contemporary director of Miller s works.All five plays were written by Miller within a ten-year period which began with his first Broadway hit, All My Sons, in 1947 which led Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times to state that theatre has acquired a genuine new talent. This was followed in 1949 by his exploration of the American Dream in Death of a Salesman, which went on to win the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.The Crucible followed in 1953, produced during the McCarthy era and becoming a parable of the witch-hunting practices of a government determined to root-out Communists. A View from the Bridge, originally performed in 1955, concerns the lives of longshoremen in the Brooklyn waterfront and has remained one of Miller s most produced plays. Originally presented as a one-act companion piece to A Memory of Two Mondays, both plays explore the dreams and working lives of ordinary Americans in the early decades of the 20th century.Freshly edited and featuring a bold new design, this updated edition of Arthur Miller Plays 1 is a must-have for theatre fans and students alike.

The War Came To Us : Life and Death in Ukraine - Updated Illustrated Edition - Christopher Miller
A WATERSTONES AND IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARA breathtaking exploration of Ukraine s past, present, and future, and a heartbreaking account of the war against Russia, written by a leading journalist who has lived and worked in Ukraine for over a decade. Vivid. Shocking. [Miller] brings a seasoned, personal perspective to his account of both the 16-month conflict and its wider roots. Daily Telegraph A beautiful blend of memoir, reportage and history...superb. Irish Times ...powerful and insightful...Miller provides a human dimension to a bloody conflict. Kirkus ReviewsWhen Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine just before dawn on 24 February 2022, it marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the country, and reshaped the world order. Christopher Miller, the Ukraine correspondent for the Financial Times and a foremost journalist covering the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia s war against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier.This is the definitive, inside story of its long fight for freedom. Told through Miller s personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters, The War Came To Us takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of Ukraine s modern history. From the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine s peninsula, to the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlin s warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond.With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A breathtaking narrative that is at times both poignant and inspiring, The War Came To Us is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people - and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence.

All the Best for the Future - James Greg
THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERBrilliantly funny and life-affirming stories of growing up from much-loved Radio 1 presenter and bestselling children s author, Greg James. When Greg James was ten years old, his nylon shell suit-clad idols the Chuckle Brothers ( to me, to you ) signed an autograph (from them, to him) with the message All the best for the future.â ™ It was a weirdly formal message for a kid. Ten-year-old Greg had no idea what the future held, no clue what was in store for him as he carried on through life. How could he? No one really knows what s coming. We all have big dreams and small ones, ideas about how we want our lives to pan out: when you ll get married, where you ll live, how many children you want, what you want to be when you grow up. We race through the milestones, desperate to unlock life s next level and before you know it, youâ ™re a â ˜grown up . Thatâ ™s all well and good but have you remembered to have fun along the way?Whether it s entertaining the nation with his hugely popular BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, writing big funny adventures for kids with his bestselling children s books, finding the joy in cricket and F1 in his podcasts Tailenders and The Fast and the Curious, or posting stupid videos of his adorable but quite thick dog Barney, Gregâ ™s focus is to put a smile on people s faces because, let s face it, having fun is something we all forget to prioritise sometimes. In All the Best for the Future, Greg looks at how he thought his life would go and shares the things that wind him up, make him sad, make him laugh and the little passions and interests that he relies on to get him through the day - whether it was a good one or a bad one. He tells us who he is, who he thought he d be and who he still thinks he could be. Most of all though, his message for everyone is not to let go of that inner child as he navigates how to grow up without growing old. Itâ ™s possible to be fully functioning adults, with bills to pay and a dog to look after, and still find time to play with a train set...

Lee Miller
A comprehensive look at the work of the groundbreaking photographer, foregrounding her importance as a surrealist artist. Lee Miller (1907â “77) assumed many roles over the course of her remarkable life â “ from avant-gardist to commercial photographer to war correspondent and photojournalist â “ and to each of these roles she brought her unique artistic sensibility. Though she was intimately connected with many of the leading figures associated with surrealism, including Man Ray, Pablo Picasso, and Max Ernst, and participated in major exhibitions of her time, Miller was also at times marginalised in the art world as a woman and as a photographer in an era when photographyâ ™s status as an art form was not widely accepted. Her genre-bending work incorporated portraiture, fashion, still life, landscape, reportage, and advertising: fearless, poetic and surreal, it reveals a world of uncanny beauty and sensual ambiguity â “ often with a humorous edge. Drawing on new primary research, Lee Miller features essays exploring every aspect of Millerâ ™s career, from her early years in Paris, New York and Cairo to her wartime journalism and late portraits. Additionally, the British novelist, playwright, and poet Deborah Levy offers a personal reflection on Miller and her art. Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of images, the book provides a comprehensive exploration of Lee Miller, revealing her as one of the most urgent creative voices of the twentieth century.

Awakened Sleep - Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar, Dr. Sheila Patel
We spend a third of our life sleeping, so why not use that time more effectively?Sleep is a miracle cure that optimizes all of our body s functions. And yet we are not optimizing this incredible tool. With the increasingly hectic pace of our daily lives, compounded by the prevalence of so many gadgets and machines and the sheer amount of time we spend attached to our screens, it s little wonder that so few of us are getting our beauty sleep.We know we re not getting enough sleep, but we don t know how to fix it. What most of us don t realize is that we all have the capacity for awakened sleep. Awakened sleep slowly trains the sleeper to have optimal energy, superior cognition and brain functioning, more balanced emotions, and longevity - especially when compared to the average seven hours of sleep.Awakened Sleep bridges the gap between science and ancient wisdom traditions so we can improve our lives. It is the first comprehensive sleep manual that guides the reader through the current science of sleep but goes several steps beyond by offering an understanding of the higher states of consciousness that emerge from sleep and dreaming, which in turn, impact our spiritual awareness and the subtler aspects of our overall health. With a Foreword by Deepak Chopra, Awakened Sleep fuses cutting-edge scientific research with age-old Vedic practices for balanced, restorative sleep.Including a comprehensive sleep hygiene protocol and an assessment to uncover your own unique sleep patterns, Awakened Sleep reveals why a good day-indeed, a good life-always begins the night before.

Tropic of Capricorn - Henry Miller
A cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank and influential as Henry Miller first novel, Tropic of Cancer -- new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey EminA story of sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction and autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and tries to write the most important work of literature that was ever published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the life of the writer and of New York City between the wars: the skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening to swallow everyone and everything. Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done Lawrence Durrell The only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past George Orwell The greatest American writer Bob Dylan Henry Miller (1891-1980) is one of the most important American writers of the 20th century.

He is widely recognised as an irreverent, risk-taking writer who redefined the novel and made the link between the European avant-garde and the American Beat generation.

The definitive new science and data-led guide on baby sleep for new parents from director of the University Durham Sleep Infancy Centre, Professor Helen L. Ball. â ˜As compassionate as it is clinically rigorous . . . a myth-busting, parent-respecting, evidence-soaked call to rethink everything we think we know about infant sleep.â ™Guddi Singh, British Medical Journalâ ˜Clearly written and engaging, with really useful suggestions that will help manage parentsâ ™ expectations and anxiety, How Babies Sleep is a must-read for anybody who wants to understand the first 365 days of a human life.â ™Russell Foster, neuroscientist and bestselling author of Life Time---How babies sleep is both exceedingly simple and excruciatingly complex. It is simple because it is based on a few straightforward biological principles that affect all babies the world over. It is complex because we have made it so. Over the past century and a half, we have tried to manipulate baby sleep to fit with the rapidly changing nature of adult lives. The mismatch we have created with our babiesâ ™ biology is framed as â ˜baby sleep problemsâ ™, and infants are often â ˜treatedâ ™ using behavioural and clinical interventions. But it is not baby sleep that needs fixing â “ only our understanding of it. In How Babies Sleep, pioneering and award-winning infant sleep researcher Professor Helen Ball brings together cutting-edge science, anthropological insight and practical advice to provide parents with everything they need to help them confidently â “ and sanely â “ navigate the first 365 night-times with a new baby. It will teach you how to harmonise your needs with those of your infant, and empower you to reject approaches that make you uncomfortable and experiment with strategies that work for you and your family. ----â ˜Finally â ” the baby sleep book all new parents actually need.â ™ Amanda Ruggeri, award-winning science and parenting journalistâ ˜An accessible, intelligent account of the issues around baby sleep.â ™ Sue Gerhardt, psychotherapist and bestselling author of Why Love Matters The most important voice we have to bring clarity.â ™ Greer Kirshenbaum, neuroscientist, doula and author of The Nurture Revolutionâ ˜A must-read . . .

How to Sleep Like a Caveman - Merijn van de Laar
Sleep has hardly changed since Paleolithic humans snoozed soundly in their caves. While sabre-toothed tigers were their biggest night-time worry, today itâ ™s stress and social media that keep us awake, but the solutions are the same, and sleep therapist Dr Merijn van de Laar offers understanding and advice to have you sleeping better within weeks. How to get a better nightâ ™s sleep in 3 weeks: Donâ ™t believe everything you read or hear about sleepLet go of the 8-hour ruleUse the simple sleep diary in the back of this book to record your sleep pattern over 3 weeksDiscover your personal sleep needsExamine your attitude towards lying awake at nightShorter total bed times might be betterFocus on the reason for lying awake rather than on the reason for not sleepingReduce stressKeep regular bedtimesFollow the rules of natureRespect your personal circadian rhythmDonâ ™t tempt the night-time ghosts Human sleep as we know it today evolved hundreds of thousands years ago, to suit a hunterâ “gatherer lifestyle. Itâ ™s not always compatible with our modern lives, but remains an essential function, vital for our health, well-being and daytime functioning. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr Merijn van de Laar investigates the origins of sleep based on archaeological findings and anthropological studies in contemporary hunter-gatherers, looking at the major discrepancies between our primordial bodily needs and our current sleep-inhibiting behaviour. Cave dwellers lived in balance with the forces of nature. They had adapted perfectly to environmental influences such as light, temperature and seasonal variations. The way they ate and moved during the day must have had a positive effect on sleep quality. We need to look to their example, and adjust our eating, exercise, light, temperature and, last but not least: our expectations towards sleep. By taking on board the ancient wisdom of our ancestors, we will improve the quality of our sleep, the way our bodies were designed to do it.

Dream Architects
The inside story of the booming video game industry from the late 1990s to the present, as told by the Managing Director of Ubisoft s Massive Entertainment (The Division, Far Cry 3, Assassin s Creed: Revelations).At Massive Entertainment, a Ubisoft studio, a key division of one of the largest, most influential companies in gaming, Managing Director Polfeldt has had a hand in some of the biggest video game franchises of today, from Assassin s Creed to Far Cry to Tom Clancy s The Division, the fastest-selling new series this generation which revitalized the Clancy brand in gaming.In The Dream Architects, Polfeldt charts his course through a charmed, idiosyncratic career which began at the dawn of the Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox era -- from successfully pitching an Avatar game to James Cameron that will digitally create all of Pandora to enduring a week-long survivalist camp in the Scandinavian forest to better understand the post-apocalyptic future of The Division.Along the way, Polfeldt ruminates on how the video game industry has grown and changed, how and when games became art, and the medium s expanding artistic and storytelling potential. He shares what it s like to manage a creative process that has ballooned from a low-six-figure expense with a team of a half dozen people to a transatlantic production of five hundred employees on a single project with a production budget of over a hundred million dollars.A rare firsthand account of the golden age of game development told in vivid detail, The Dream Architects is a seminal work about the biggest entertainment medium of today.
