VICKI BRADLEY
From “weird, scary, ingenious” (The New York Times) stand-up
comedian Maria Bamford, a brutally honest and hilariously frenetic
memoir about show business, mental health, and the comfort of rigid
belief systems—from Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and
Influence People, to Suzuki violin training, to Richard Simmons, to
12-step programs. Maria Bamford is a comedian’s comedian (an
outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to
belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the
1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and
psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every
method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to
be a part of it. In Bamford’s signature voice, Sure, I’ll Join
Your Cult, brings us on a quest to participate in something. With
sincerity and transparency, she recounts every anonymous fellowship
she has joined (including but not limited to: Debtors Anonymous,
Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, and Overeaters Anonymous), every
hypomanic episode (from worrying about selling out under capitalism
to enforcing union rules on her Netflix TV show set to protect her
health), and every easy 1-to-3-step recipe for fudge in between.
Singular and inimitable, Bamford’s memoir explores what it means
to keep going, and to be a member of society (or any group she’s
invited to) despite not being very good at it. In turn, she hopes
to transform isolating experiences into comedy that will make you
feel less alone (without turning into a cult following).
This unique book offers valuable insights into the often-hidden
world of forensic psychological assessment and intervention. It
follows on from Case Studies in Forensic Psychology (2019) and
presents a range of detailed clinical case studies of adults and
young people across secure and community settings. The case studies
represent individuals with several different forms of offending
histories, such as sexual and violent offending, and various
clinical diagnoses including autism and acquired brain injury. Each
chapter details the individual's personal background, offending,
any relevant psychiatric or psychological diagnoses, and
treatments. The chapters end with an intensive discussion on the
outcomes for that case, and its wider implications. This book
allows the readers to understand the on-ground clinical practice
and day-to-day role of a forensic psychologist by demonstrating the
work undertaken behind the empirical research and highlighting the
complexities to which psychologists need to apply their expertise.
It also brings together treatment models and forensic research to
establish how theory translates into practice and consider whether
it is effective at an individual level. Further Case Studies in
Forensic Psychology is key reading for psychologists, clinicians
and practitioners at any stage of their career in this rapidly
expanding field. It will also be useful for students of forensic
psychology and those interested in the real-life work of
psychologists in forensic practice.
The joint British and US campaigns in the European theater of
operations during World War II rank among the most impressive
examples of coalition warfare in history. In just eighteen months,
the US and British armies integrated their planning, intelligence,
and command structures more thoroughly than any previous alliance.
Millions of British and American soldiers fighting alongside one
another liberated North Africa, France, Italy, and western Germany.
How did these two armies come together so quickly? How did they
combine their forces to a degree never before seen among the
services of sovereign nations? And how did they sustain their
alliance in the face of severe disagreements and battlefield
setbacks? In Forging the Anglo-American Alliance, Tyler Bamford
answers these questions by presenting the first history of the two
armies' relations from 1917 to 1941. Great Britain and the United
States emerged from World War I as the strongest military powers in
the world. Forging the Anglo-American Alliance examines why the
armies of these two nations chose to view each other as their
closest strategic partner instead of their greatest potential
threat and illustrates the legacy that World War I had on the
attitudes of the US and British armies toward one another and
alliance warfare. Through personal interactions and military
education in the years leading up to World War II, army officers
shared large amounts of military intelligence and formed positive
opinions of one another. As the threat of Germany and Japan grew,
army officers were the first to anticipate the need for an alliance
between their nations and to begin thinking about ways to structure
their combined forces. Using untapped archival sources, official
reports, and officers' personal papers, Bamford presents an
important and engaging new analysis of how this partnership grew
out of the experiences and initiative of British and US Army
officers and attachEs during World War I and the two decades that
followed.

Originally published in 1989, this book was the first comprehensive
and analytical account of the Italian small firm economy to appear
in English. Dealing principally with the area of central and
north-east Italy where small business flourishes, the book relates
to the concentration of such companies to the concept of
'industrial districts' developed by Alfred Marshall, and provides
both a theoretical and statistical basis for Italy in the latter
part of the twentieth century. The success of Italian manufacturing
is explained in terms of political and social factors as well as
economic and technical ones and the working practices within the
technology companies discussed.

Though recent scholarship has focused both on motherhood and on
romance literature in early modern England, until now, no full
length volume has addressed the notable intersections between the
two topics. This collection contributes to the scholarly
investigation of maternity in early modern England by scrutinizing
romance narratives in various forms, considering motherhood not as
it was actually lived, but as it was figured in the fantasy world
of romance by authors ranging from Edmund Spenser to Margaret
Cavendish. Contributors explore the traditional association between
romance and women, both as readers of fiction and as tellers of
'old wives' tales,' as well as the tendency of romance plots, with
their emphasis on the family and its reproduction, to foreground
matters of maternity. Collectively, the essays in this volume
invite reflection on the uses to which Renaissance culture put
maternal stereotypes (the virgin mother, the cruel step-dame), as
well as the powerful fears and desires that mothers evoke, assuage
and sometimes express in the fantasy world of romance.
A Detailed History of RAF Manston 1916-1930: The Men Who Made
Manston covers the development of aviation in Thanet up to and
including the period of the First World War. Manston had its
origins in the Royal Naval Seaplane Station at Westgate that was
later expanded for landplane operations. The fact that the landing
ground at Westgate was both dangerous and unsuitable lead to the
development at Manston. Lieutenant Spenser Grey was the first
airman to land in Thanet and he began a popular trend with various
aviators being attracted to the area. In August 1913, The Daily
Mail organised the Round Britain Aeroplane Race that both began and
ended at Ramsgate giving a great boost to the town. The first unit
to be based at Manston was 3 Wing RNAS that moved from Detling in
April 1916 and the first CO was appointed in May. During the war,
aeroplanes based at Manston and particularly its 'War Flight'
played an important role in defending the Thames and Medway
estuaries. Together with RNAS Eastchurch, Manston's War Flight of
Triplanes, Camels and Pups patrolled the coast and amongst its most
famous moments was when on 22 August 1917, a German Gotha bomber
was shot down near Vincent's Farm. The authors give a detailed
history of the units that were based at Manston during this period,
their operations and the commanding officers. Manston was unique in
many ways, but particularly as it was the only airfield to have
built an underground hangar for the protection of its aeroplanes.
After the First World War, Manston expanded and it took on the role
of a training station. This first book in a three-book series will
finish approximately at the end of the war period and continue with
the growth of the station during the inter-war years.
The first two authors of this coaching workbook are themselves
parents who have been on a journey of "swings and roundabouts" -
experienced the highs and lows of having children. Having
difficulties knowing how to parent in many situations, which was
not made easier by the conflicting advice in the media, made them
unsure of their own parenting skills. This was one of the reasons
that they entered into the field of parent-coaching. They were
trained coaches who wanted to use their coaching skills and
experience as parents to help both themselves and other parents get
the understanding and trust in themselves to be the parents they
dream of being. As an educational and child psychologist, Irvine
was able to contribute an evidence and psychological base to the
project.Parents often feel alone and the authors have found that
running courses for them created a space where they could share
experiences with each other as well as experiment with different
ways of parenting. It is their intention to give back some of the
awareness they gained in this comprehensive and invaluable
self-coaching book.
