that can be utilized as therapeutic tools toward their own journey

survivor's child abuse are carefully examined, allowing the reader
to initiate the connection to professional mental health treatment
and realize the therapeutic value. Readers are armed with current
research information, confirming how prevalent child abuse is in
families today and how it has quickly turned into a disturbing
common social condition. The author and child abuse survivor also

History books don't always tell the whole story. Certainly there is
no record of an episode that occurred when the Scots, led by Bonnie
Prince Charlie, were defeated by the English at the battle of
Culloden in 1746... And the presence at the time of a blue police
box on the Scottish moors seems to have escaped the notice of most
eye-witnesses... The Highlanders sets the record straight. And
while the incidents described may not be of great interest to
historians, for Jamie McCrimmon they mark the beginning of a series
of extraordinary adventures. Anneke Wills, who played the Doctor's
companion Polly in the original BBC TV serial, reads Gerry Davis's
complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target
Books in 1984. 4 CDs. 3 hrs 33 mins.
After a harsh initial training as a Boy Entrant at RAF Cosford in
the 1950s, Gerry Davis went on to serve 15 years in the RAF, mainly
on Air Movements, before joining 'Civvy Street' and spending the
rest of his working life in a demanding civilian post at Bristol
Airport, when he also joined the RAF Volunteer Reserve and served
as Training Officer. His account of the adventures of a career
spanning more than 44 years covers a wide range of experiences,
from the amusing to the astonishing. A fascinating glimpse of the
flying business from the inside.
For the woman who has always had the urge to embark on a lengthy
cross-country journey by herself, Curves on the Highway is both an
inspirational guide and a practical how-to book. Gerry Davis offers
advice for women travelers on everything from how to deal with auto
mechanics to pointers on packing sensibly. The all-important issue
of security weaves throughout chapters on trip planning, insurance,
and choosing a hotel.
Using close visual analysis of drawings, artist interviews,
critical analysis and exegesis, Drawing Investigations examines how
artists use drawing as an investigative tool to reveal information
that would otherwise remain unseen and unnoticed. How does drawing
add shape to ideas? How does the artist accommodate to challenges
and restraints of a particular environment? To what extent is a
drawing complementary and continuous with its subject and where is
it disruptive and provocative? Casey and Davies address these
questions while focusing on artists working collaboratively and the
use of drawing in challenging or unexpected environments. Drawing
Investigations evaluates the emergence of a way of thinking among
an otherwise disconnected group of artists by exploring
commonalities in the application of analytical drawing to the
natural world, urban environment, social forces and lived
experience. Examples represent a spectrum of research in
international contexts: an oceanographic Institute in California,
the archives of Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, the Antarctic Survey,
geothermal research in Japan and the Kurdish diaspora in Iraq.
Issues are situated in the contemporary theory and practice of
drawing including relationships to historical precedents. By
exploring drawing's capacity to capture and describe experience, to
sharpen visual faculties and to bridge embodied and conceptual
knowledge, Drawing Investigations offers a fresh critical
perspective on contemporary drawing practice.
