Pop royalty, Ringo Starr, meets picture book A-lister, Ben Cort!
Based on the lyrics of the world famous Beatles song, this glorious
picture book follows five children on a magical journey through the
Octopus's garden. The playful Octopus takes them on a wondrous
underwater adventure - riding on the backs of turtles, playing
pirates in a sunken city and sheltering from a storm in the
octopus's cave. "Beatles fans will lap up the opportunity to
introduce children and grandchildren to this picture book version
of the song ..." Daily Mail "The pictures are superb." The Times
"Glorious picture book." Sunderland Echo "Octopus's Garden is a
visual delight thanks to Ben Cort's stunning illustrations...The
song is so catchy that you'll be singing it long after you've
finished the book!" Creative Steps

Globally, social work faces increasingly complex cultural,
political, economic, legal, organisational, technological and
professional conditions. Critically reflecting on the subject, this
book heightens critical consciousness among social work

discusses strategies to challenge and change both individual and
societal consciousness. Offering the reader an opportunity to gain
in-depth understanding of how critical reflection is possible in
contemporary social work research, practice and education, it will
be required reading for all social work scholars, students and
professionals.
Ron Howard directs this documentary which follows The Beatles
during their touring years from 1962-1966. After quickly conquering
the British music scene in the early 1960s, the band went on to
play in front of sell-out stadium audiences all around the world.
Featuring live performance footage and archive interviews, the film
also includes insight from band members Paul McCartney and Ringo
Starr as they recount their experiences and memories from the time.

The media calls it the Pacific Flu. The CDC calls it H7D3, and it
spreads like wildfire. The virus combines the worst symptoms of
Rabies and the common Flu, and is suspected to be man-made. The
first reports of feral, cannibalistic “zombie-like” symptoms
were met with disbelief and skeptical amusement, but nobody’s
laughing now. Scientists, backed by the world’s governments and
its wealthiest institutions, race against the clock to develop a
cure as infections rise and cities fall. A glimmer of hope appears
as a vaccine is discovered, but its production requires harvesting
the spinal tissue of the infected, a grim task that tests the
limits of human morality. With no other choices apparent, time is
quickly running out before hordes of infected overwhelm the last
remaining bastions of civilization. In the first days of the
outbreak, a college history professor receives a cryptic warning
from a trusted source. Its baffling, yet unmistakable message
translates as: "PACK UP, GET OUT, AND GO NOW!" Steve Smith and his
family don’t waste any time; they leave their normal, comfortable
lives behind to get ahead of the inevitable panic and survive the
end of the world!

"This is a way of putting my life out there, because if I were to

Beatles. So I'm going at it this way, through photographs and

Starr "Ringo's picture book, Ringo in book form. The essence of
Ringo." - David Lynch Another Day In The Life is introduced and

Achievement Award and his return to New York's Plaza Hotel, 50
years after The Beatles first visited the USA. Another Day In The
Life, Ringo Starr's 184-page monograph featuring Paul McCartney,
Joe Walsh and a host of All-Starr friends, is captioned throughout
with an original commentary. Meditative, witty and always engaging,
Ringo reflects on a legendary life in music. RINGOBOOK.COM

In the second decade of the twenty-first century the world is
struck by two catastrophes, a new mini-ice age and, nearly
simultaneously, a plague to dwarf all previous experiences. Rising
out of the disaster is the character known to history as "Bandit
Six" an American Army officer caught up in the struggle to rebuild
the world and prevent the fall of his homeland--despite the best
efforts of politicians both elected and military. "The Last
Centurion" is a memoir of one possible future, a world that is a
darkling mirror of our own. Written "blog-style," it pulls no
punches in its descriptions of junk science, bad strategy and
organic farming not to mention all three at once.
