Why We Travel asks why humans yearn to travel, what motivates us
and what we can gain from venturing out into the world. From epic
global expeditions to microadventures closer to home, Bhardwaj
recalls his travels from Uganda to Ukraine and calls on the
insights of philosophers, athletes and scientists to help him
explore what drives our longing for adventure. Why We Travel is
both a highly personal and universal book, recounting Bhardwaj’s
connection’s with his Indian heritage and his struggles with
grief and identity. It asks how healing and hardship can be
overcome in travel, and how serendipity and wonder can help awaken
us to our surroundings and leave us more connected to the people
and places around us.
Oddball comedy starring Matt Lucas. Bald and morbidly obese
Franklin Franklin (Lucas) lives in an apartment complex filled with
other quirky and eccentric characters including his stoner
neighbour Tommy Balls (Johnny Knoxville) and the permanently bitter
Mr. Allspice (James Caan). In a heated argument over rent, Franklin
accidentally kills his landlord Mr Olivetti (Peter Stormare) and
while staging the death as a suicide unwittingly causes a fire.
When he hears that his brother has died from a brain tumour and
left him a rather large amount of money in a Swiss bank account,
Franklin sees an opportunity to make his escape, but before he can
do so, he'll have to avoid detection by the fire investigation team
led by Burt Walnut (Billy Crystal).
This book critically considers the dynamic relationship between
clinical guidelines and medical negligence litigation, arguing that
a balance must be struck between blinkered reliance on guidelines
and casual disregard. It explores connections between academic law
and professional practice, bringing together an array of
perspectives which reveal that although guidelines may not be
dispositive, they nonetheless play an important role in medical
negligence law. The chapters provide compelling insights from
academics, lawyers, barristers, doctors and healthcare
professionals into the use of guidelines in determining the legal
standard for breach of duty, thereby contributing to a holistic
understanding of guideline usage in this area of law. Sociological
considerations along with empirical findings are used to underpin
these concepts. While focusing on the UK, contributors draw upon
international law including that from the United States, South
Africa, the Netherlands and other countries. Based on this analysis
the conclusion offers a theoretical framework for practical
application illustrated by a case-based discourse. This book makes
a significant contribution to the knowledge base in the subject
area. It is an essential read for legal academics and lawyers
working in medical and health law, as well as for doctors and other
healthcare professionals. It will be a key reference point for
medical regulators, health organisation policymakers and clinical
governance teams.

Animated adventure featuring the voice of Freddie Prinze Jr. When
Pi (Prinze Jr), an ordinary fish from Boston, arrives at the exotic
reef to live with his Aunt Pearl (Fran Descher), he is immediately
attracted to Cordelia (Evan Rachel Wood), the fish of his dreams.
There's just one problem - Troy (Donal Logue), the meanest shark in
the ocean, who not only patrols the reef keeping its community in
fear of becoming his next meal, but also has his eye on Cordelia
and wants her for himself. Pi must join up with his new group of
friends and try and outwit Troy and his henchmen, save the reef and
win Cordelia.
"Why do stories come into one's head, or odd names or first lines?
Perhaps deep in the brain there is a part that makes things up and
they occasionally pop out if the stimulus is right. If nothing else
is occupying the mind then the idea can be developed. Most of my
poems are written at one sitting, with later tweaks. I use the form
to be able to be more adventurous with words and to use the end of
lines and the beginning of new ones to highlight a word or
re-enforce an idea. Inspiration comes from events or sights or just
thoughts. Often one works with a picture in one's head. An
illustration therefore is sometimes a natural extension. I hope
those included will add rather than detract from the reader's
picture."
What is it like to radically change your life? Writer Alec Ash
meets the Chinese who are doing just this, ‘reverse migrating’
from the cities to the remote countryside of southwest China —
and joins them himself, in an extraordinary and inspiring journey
of self-discovery. In 2020, Alec Ash left behind his old life as a
journalist in buzzy Beijing, and moved to Dali, a rural valley in
China’s Yunnan province, centred around a great lake shaped like
an ear and overlooked by the Cang mountain range. Here, he hoped to
find the space and perspective to mend heartbreak after a broken
engagement and escape the trappings of fast-paced, high-pressured
city life. Originally home to the Bai people, Dali has become a
richly diverse community of people of all ages and backgrounds,
with one shared goal: to reject the worst parts of modernity and
live more simply, in tune with the natural world and away from the
nexus of authoritarian power. It is into this community that Alec
embeds himself, from political dissidents to bohemian hippies,
charting his first year of life in Dali among these fascinating
neighbours. The Mountains Are High is a beautifully written, candid
memoir about the catalysts for change and personal development that
comes from taking a leap of faith, and how remodeling your attitude
to conventional success can genuinely transform your life. As one
of the ‘new migrants’ tells Alec when he arrives: it is easy to
change your environment, far more difficult to change your mind.
A giant woolly mammoth comes back to life in this action-packed
adventure story. Time is running out! Barron Fox's hunting lodge is
opening soon, and Jeevan discovers that he's planning a very big
surprise for his guests - a woolly mammoth, brought back to life
for them to hunt! If the lodge opens, the animals in the forest
will be in danger too. Can Jeevan and his friends launch a daring
rescue mission that tramples over Fox's plans? Perfect for fans of
Beast Quest, Deadly 60 and Jurassic Park, these action-packed
adventures will inspire readers to help save endangered species and
combat extinction.
Surely you would like to be immortalised in art, fixed forever in
perfection? Sadler's Wells, 1933. I would kill to dance like her.
Disciplined and dedicated, Olivia is the perfect ballerina. But no
matter how hard she works, she can never match identical twin
Clara's charm. I would kill to be with her. As rehearsals
intensify for the ballet Coppélia, the girls feel
increasingly like they are being watched. And, as infatuation turns
to obsession, everything begins to unravel.
With simple, direct questions, thoughtful, compassionate answers
and stunning illustrations by the Ukrainian artist Oksana
Drachkovska, this book explores what it really means to be a
refugee. Written with advice from the Refugee Council and drawing
on conversations with refugees and aid workers from around the
world, the questions cover all stages of a refugee's journey, from
fleeing danger and embarking on hazardous journeys, to seeking
asylum and struggling to find a new place to call home. The
language and scenes have been carefully considered to be
appropriate for younger children, providing an extremely useful
educational tool for families and schools.
This book is two in one: "The Anatolikon", published in Great
Britain for the first time, and a collection of new poems entitled
"To the City". John Ash remains a savage wit, an elegist, a poet of
celebration, and one who refuses to let his work be assimilated
into orthodoxy or predictability.
Emerging chapter book readers will love this easy-to-read spy
series with action, adventure, and edge-of-your-seat danger.

Increasingly, many people in the democracies are turning to a
strongarm politics for reassurance against globalisation,
uncertainty and precarity. In countries ranging from the US
and Britain to Brazil, India and Turkey, support grows for a
nativist politics attacking migrants, minorities, liberals and
elites as enemies of the nation. Is there a politics of belonging
that progressive forces could mobilise to counteract these trends?
After Nativism takes up this question, arguing that disarming
nativism will require more than improving the security and
wellbeing of the ‘left-behind’. The lines drawn by nativism are
of an affective nature about imagined community, with meanings of
belonging and voice lying at the heart of popular perceptions of
just dues. This, argues Ash Amin, is the territory that progressive
forces – liberal, social democratic, socialist – need to
reclaim in order to shift public sentiment away from xenophobic
intolerance towards one of commonality amid difference as a basis
for facing existential risk and uncertainty. The book proposes a
relational politics of belonging premised on the encounter,
fugitive solidarities, public interest politics, collaboration over
common existential threats, and daily collectives and
infrastructures of wellbeing. There is ground for progressives to
mount a counter-aesthetics of belonging that will convince the
discontents of neoliberal globalisation that there is a better
alternative to nativism.
