Seven Rooms brings together highlights from Hotel, a magazine for
new approaches to fiction, non-fiction & poetry which, since
its inception in 2016, provided a space for experimental reflection
on literature's status as art & cultural mediator. Co-published
by Tenement Press and Prototype, this anthology captures, refracts,
and reflects a vital moment in independent publishing in the UK,
and is built on the shared values of openness, collaboration, and
total creative freedom.

Every family has its own mythology, but in this family none of the
myths match up. Claudia's mother says she met her husband when she
stopped him from jumping off a bridge. Her father says it happened
when he saved her from an attempted robbery. Both parents are deaf
but couldn't be more different; they can't even agree on how they
met, much less who needed saving. Into this unlikely yet somehow
inevitable union, our narrator is born. She comes of age with her
brother in this strange, and increasingly estranged, household
split between a small village in southern Italy and New York City.
Without even sign language in common – their parents have not
bothered to teach them – family communications are chaotic and
rife with misinterpretations. An outsider in every way, she longs
for a freedom she's not even sure exists. Only books and punk rock
– and a tumultuous relationship – begin to show her the way to
create her own mythology, to construct her own version of the story
of her life. Kinetic, formally daring, and strikingly original,
Strangers I Know is a funny and profound portrait of an
unconventional family that makes us look anew at how language
shapes our understanding of ourselves.
Not all health promotion programs are equally successful in
achieving their aims and objectives. The use of theory
significantly improves the chances of success. Theory in a Nutshell
4e provides practitioners and students of health promotion with an
overview of the most influential theories and models used to guide
health promotion practice. For each theory discussed, an
explanation of the main elements of the theory is provided,
followed by a commentary on its relative strengths and weaknesses,
and somesuggestions as to how it can be applied to the real world.
New to this edition: greater attention to the influence and
application of digital communication and technologies on health
promotion practice examples and reflections on lessons that have
emerged since 2020 from the global COVID-19 pandemic. Written by
internationally recognised leaders in the field, all sections have
been thoroughly revised and updated, while maintaining the concise,
accessible style of the previous editions. This book is highly
recommended for public health practitioners, health promotion and
health education specialists, and social policy makers, as well as
students of public health and health promotion.
This major new work explores the British encounter with Buddhism
in nineteenth century Sri Lanka, examining the way Buddhism was
represented and constructed in the eyes of the British scholars,
officials, travellers and religious seekers who first encountered
it.
Tracing the three main historical phases of the encounter from
1796 to 1900, the book provides a sensitive and nuanced exegesis of
the cultural and political influences that shaped the early British
understanding of Buddhism and that would condition its subsequent
transmission to the West.
Expanding our understanding of inter-religious relations between
Christians and Buddhists, the book fills a significant gap in the
scholarship on Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka by concentrating on
missionary writings and presenting a thorough exploration of
original materials of several important pioneers in Buddhist
studies and mission studies.

A prismatic novel that records the indelible marks a mother leaves
on her son after she abandons their home in Italy for a business
she's building in Romania. Lorenzo, just a young boy when his
mother leaves, recalls the incisive fragments of their life - when
they would playfully wrestle each other, watch the sunrise, or test
out his mother's newest scientific creation. Now a young man,
Lorenzo travels to Romania for his mother's funeral and reflects on
the strangeness of today's Europe, which masks itself as a beacon
of Western civilization while iniquity and exploitation run
rampant. With elliptical, piercing prose, Bajani tells a story of
abandonment and initiation, of sentimental education and shattered
illusions, of unconditional love.
In Stories with Pictures, Antonio Tabucchi responds to photographs,
drawings, and paintings from his dual homelands of Italy and
Portugal, among other European countries. The stories in this
collection spring forth from the shadows of Tabucchi's imagination,
as he steps into worlds just hidden from view. From inscrutable
masks of pre-Columbian gods, stamps of bright parrots and postcars
of yellow cities, portraits of devilish Portuguese nuns, the way to
these remote landscapes appear like a 'train emerging from a thick
curtain of heat.'
IN A SACRED PLACE, UNHOLY PASSIONS LEAD TO MURDER...
Sunlight shone on the dark crimson blood, making it shine like a
jewel...thus the body of Gunnora, a young nun from Hawkenlye Abbey,
is found with her throat cut. Felons have been released from
English prisons at the command of the new king, Richard
Plantagenet, and suspicion centers on them. But when Josse
d'Acquin, the king's knight, arrives from France to investigate, he
discovers treacherous currents of lust, greed, and anger flowing
closer to the Abbey, and in the haunted Weald of Kent, whose woods
hide strange secrets...
With the help of the worldly, beautiful Abbess Helewise, Josse
ferrets out an array of suspects. Their one precious piece of
evidence is a gold, rubied cross. But the shocking truth of
Gunnora's death is an elusive -- and far more dangerous --
prize.
It is February 1194. A desperately ill man is making for Hawkenlye
Abbey in the hope of a miracle cure. In his delirium he sees the
Virgin Mary and, sinking to his knees, he begins to pray. She is
the last person he will ever see. The winter cold intensifies and
the Vale lake freezes over. It is only when the thaw sets in that a
corpse is discovered in the icy waters, its skull crushed by a
lethal blow. With no clues on the body but an apothecary's remedy,
Abbess Helewise asks her trusted friend Sir Josse d'Acquin to find
out the man's identity. As Josse sets out on his mission, a party
of sick people arrive seeking help, and their sickness looks
terrifyingly like plague . . .
