Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Samantha Clark enjoyed a busy career before returning home to Glasgow to take care of the house that her parents had left behind. The Clearing is a powerful memoir about grief, art and what we must do with the things we cannot know. 'As an artist, Clark is adept at dealing with metaphors and symbolism, and her forays into science and metaphysics feel like natural, unforced extensions of her grief and guilt, clarifying rather than obfuscating the path she has found through this turbulent phase of her life. Readers who have been through similar experiences will find much in this sensitive and articulate memoir which they can identify with and draw solace from. ' Herald 'Clark's lyrically written memoir is a sensitive and haunting account of what it is like to grow up with a mentally ill parent, and how it affected her family and own life. It is a powerful meditation about fractured relationships, human vulnerability and resilience, loneliness and death . . . this unflinching memoir should appeal to those coming to terms with their own grief or mental illness.' The Lady.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Have you ever felt the urge to run and hide before a big presentation or enjoyed the cosy feeling of contentment as you curl up in front of a fire If you've ever had your wisdom teeth removed or felt pure terror at the sight of a spider in your bathroom, you have experienced a mismatch - a clash between our age-old biology and modern culture. Our primitive brains evolved to meet Stone Age demands, so when faced with modern day situations that are less extreme, they often encounter a mismatch, putting us on the wrong foot by responding to stimuli that - in prehistoric times - would have prompted behaviour that was beneficial. The primeval mind has lost its way in a new world of anonymous cities, social inequality and stress at work. Mismatch is about the dramatic contrast between the first few million years of human history - when humans lived as hunters and gatherers in small-scale societies - and the past twelve thousand years following the agricultural revolution which have led us to comfortable lives in a very different social structure. Has this rapid transition been good for us How do we cope in a modern information society that radically changes every decade or so Award-winning and bestselling novelist Ronald Giphart and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Professor of Evolutionary, Work and Organizational Psychology Mark van Vugt (who is also a researcher at the University of Oxford) propose broad changes to politics and policy which could enable governments, institutions and businesses to create an environment better suited to human nature, while offering everyday advice on how to convert mismatches into matches. The better your life is matched to how your mind operates, the greater your chances of leading a happy, healthy and productive existence.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'A weighty discussion of metal, for both passionate fans and neophytes' Guardian'Heavy opens an ornate portal into a murky subculture, illuminating the marginalia as well as the big beasts' Sunday TimesWhat exactly is heavy metal music How deep do its roots go Long established as an undeniable force in culture, metal traces its roots back to leather-clad iron men like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, who imbued their music with a mysterious and raw undercurrent of power. Heavy unearths this elusive force, delving deep into the fertile culture that allowed a distinctive new sound to flourish and flaying the source material to get to the beating heart of the music. From the imminent threat of nuclear apocalypse that gave rise to Metallica's brand of volatile thrash metal to Bloodbath and Carcass, the death metal bands resurrecting the horror of medieval art.But there are always more lines to be drawn. Cradle of Filth and Ulver trade in the transgressive impulses of gothic literature; Pantera lay bare Nietzsche's 'superman'; getting high leads to the escapist sci-fi dirges of Sleep and Electric Wizard; while the recovery of long-buried urns in the seventeenth century holds the key to the drone of Sunn O))).Dissecting music that resonates with millions, Heavy sees Slipknot wrestling with the trauma of 9/11, Alice in Chains exposing the wounds of Vietnam and Iron Maiden conjuring visions of a heroic England. Powerful, evocative and sometimes sinister, it gives shape and meaning to the terrible beauty of metal.

She remains a heroine for those determined to go to any lengths to change our world and one of those inspirational souls who feature in Rosalind Miles' gallery of famous, infamous and little-know rebels. We begin with the French Revolution when women took on the fraternite of man, then it's off to America to round up the rebels fighting side by side for freedom with their men, before heading back to Britain to witness the courage of the suffragettes. From Australia to Iceland, from India to China and from many other countries, we track women who - often at a very high cost to themselves - have stood up to age-old cruelties and injustices. Recording the important milestones in the long march of women towards equality through a colourful pageant of astonishing women, we chart the birth of modern womanhood. Women in sport, women in business, women in religion, women in politics and women in power - all female life is there. We end in the present day thrilled with what women have done - and can and will do.Give us Freedom is as brave and as brilliant as its heroines.Formerly published as Rebel Women.
