Helen Lewis' acclaimed memoir, A Time to Speak (Blackstaff Press,
Belfast, 1997), tells the story of the first thirty years of her
life in Czechoslovakia, from childhood to her professional training
as a choreographer and dancer. It also contains her devastating
account of Nazi persecution, of loss and suffering in the
Holocaust: Helen came very close to death. Maddy Tongue now
completes the story of this extraordinary woman who overcame
unimaginable suffering to become a creative force in Ireland. The
author's friendship with Helen lasted for more than fifty years. As
a dancer she performed in many of Helen's significant works.
Shadows Behind the Dance describes Helen's creative approach, her
struggle to overcome an Irish indifference to modern dance, her
pursuit of perfection and her unshakeable belief in humanity. In
Ireland today the presence of modern dance owes much to her
innovative teaching and practice. Shadows Behind the Dance is
supplemented with Chris Agee's 2002 interview with Helen, "An Irish
Epilogue", and a folio of Holocaust poems and drawings by Michael
Longley and Sarah Longley (who was a pupil of Helen's). Helen's
sons, Robin and Michael, have also written a Foreword. The book has
been generously funded through subscription by family, friends,
colleagues and admirers of the unforgettable Helen Lewis.

Product Stewardship in Action describes how and why leading
companies are taking responsibility for the environmental impact of
their products and packaging. Product stewardship, often referred
to as "extended producer responsibility" or EPR, is the idea that
everyone that benefits commercially from a product, including
manufacturers, distributors and retailers, has a shared
responsibility to minimize its environmental impacts. Written
primarily for a business audience, it draws on the knowledge and
experience of industry practitioners and other experts to provide a
structured approach to product responsibility within firms. This
will help those new to the field, as well as more experienced
practitioners, to develop an effective response to stakeholder
concerns about the environmental impacts of their products and
packaging. Unlike other resources on product stewardship and EPR,
which tend to focus on the design or evaluation of public policy,
this book highlights the business case for action. It argues that
companies can achieve "shared value" - both public and commercial
value - when they take a proactive and knowledge-based approach to
the life-cycle management of their products. Product Stewardship in
Action focuses on product stewardship as an effective business
strategy rather than a philanthropic exercise. To be effective it
needs to be based on a good understanding of product impacts and
stakeholder concerns, and the risks and opportunities that these
present to the business. The most effective responses will be those
that address material issues in the product life-cycle while
supporting the achievement of other corporate goals and priorities.

Well-behaved women don't make history: difficult women do. 'This is
the antidote to saccharine you-go-girl fluff. Effortlessly erudite
and funny' Caroline Criado-Perez Strikers in saris. Bomb-throwing
suffragettes. The pioneer of the refuge movement who became a men's
rights activist. Forget feel-good heroines: meet the feminist
trailblazers who have been airbrushed from history for being
'difficult' - and discover how they made a difference. Here are
their stories in all their shocking, funny and unvarnished glory.
** Shortlisted in the 2020 Parliamentary Book Awards ** 'All the
history you need to understand why you're so furious, angry and
still hopeful about being a woman now. A book that is part
intellectual weapon in your handbag, part cocktail with a friend'
Caitlin Moran 'Compulsive, rigorous, unforgettable, hilarious and
devastating' Hadley Freeman 'A great manifesto for all those women
who have never been very good at being well-behaved.' Mary Beard

and fizzing with provocation' Sunday Times
This volume concerns the palaeo-environmental and archaeological
investigations of the upper Allen Valley of Cranborne Chase,
Dorset, between 1998 and 2003, which revealed sequences of
landscape development which contrast with those previously put
forward for the region. A programme of valley-wide
geoarchaeological survey and palynological analyses of the relict
palaeo-channel system was conducted, along with sample
investigations and open area excavations of a variety of
prehistoric sites in the area. Among the many excellent
illustrations, GIS modelling techniques have been used to
interrogate and visualise some of this new data which has provided
possible independent corroboration.
The packaging industry is under pressure from regulators,
customers and other stakeholders to improve packaging s
sustainability by reducing its environmental and societal impacts.
This is a considerable challenge because of the complex
interactions between products and their packaging, and the many
roles that packaging plays in the supply chain.
"Packaging for Sustainability" is a concise and readable
handbook for practitioners who are trying to implement
sustainability strategies for packaging. Industry case studies are
used throughout the book to illustrate possible applications and
scenarios." Packaging for Sustainability" draws on the expertise of
researchers and industry practitioners to provide information on
business benefits, environmental issues and priorities,
environmental evaluation tools, design for environment, marketing
strategies, and challenges for the future."
The tension between Freud's clinical discoveries about the power of
human emotions and the theoretical framework in which he embedded
these discoveries has been most eloquently detailed by Freud
himself. His agoniz ing reappraisal. in 1926, of the libido theory
of anxiety is just one example. But, as is usually the case,
theoretical difficulties point to gaps in existing knowledge. At
the time when Freud made his fundamental discovery that hysterical
symptoms (and dreams) were understandable as reflections of for
bidden ("strangulated") affect, anthropology was essentially
nonexistent as a science. The cultural nature of human beings (our
species' unique adaptation to life) could only be adumbrated by
Freud (for example, in the myth of Totem and Taboo). As a
consequence, the primacy of human attachment emotions in the
acculturation process could not be postulated as a theoretical
base. What Freud adopted as his base of theorizing was the most
forward looking materialist concept of his time: the Darwinian
concept of individual instincts as the driving force in life. Freud
assumed that the vicissitudes of in stincts determine the fate of
"ideas" in consciousness. Freud's theoretical base thus impelled
him to speculate about the origin and fate of ideas instead of
about the origin and fate of human emotional connectedness. This
book is a small step along the road which should ultimately bring
Freud's discoveries into a modem theoretical framework in
psychology.
Writing development and pedagogy is a high priority area,
particularly with standardised testing showing declines in writing
across time and through the years of schooling. However, to date
there are relatively few texts for teachers and teacher educators
which detail how best to enable the children to become confident,
autonomous and agentic writers of the future. Developing Writers
Across the Primary and Secondary Years provides cumulative insights
into how writing develops and how it can be taught across years of
compulsory schooling. This edited collection is a timely and
original contribution, addressing a significant literacy need for
teachers of writing across three key stages of writing development,
covering early (4-7 years old), primary (7-12 years old) and
secondary years (12-16 years old) in Anglophone countries. Each
section addresses two broader themes - becoming a writer with a
child-oriented focus and writing pedagogy with a teacher-oriented
focus. Together, the book brings to bear rigorous research and deep
professional understanding of the writing classroom. It offers a
novel approach conceiving of writing development as a dynamic and
multidimensional concept. Such an integrated interdisciplinary
understanding enables pedagogical thinking and development to
address more holistically the complex act of writing.
Learning outside the classroom has been high on the political
agenda for several years now, but recent Ofsted reports indicate
that this can be confined to termly or yearly trips, as an 'extra'.
This book provides a convincing and readable promotion of regular
outdoor learning. It draws on relevant research to reinforce that
working in 'real' environments benefits children's all-round
development - cognitively, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
This is illustrated through a wide range of engaging activities,
from how to make a scarecrow, to interpreting a painting in a
gallery, from getting the best from a library visit, to how best to
attack a medieval castle. This practical guide for busy teachers
will help them to link what they do in and out of the class. It's a
must for every staffroom bookshelf.

'Helen Lewis survived the greatest nightmare ever dreamed by man.
Her story is appalling, mesmerising, and one reads with increasing
gratitude for her clarity, honesty and courage.' Ian McEwan Helen
Lewis, a young student of dance in Prague at the outbreak of WW2
was herded, like Madeleine Albright, into the Terezin ghetto, then
shipped to Auschwitz, in 1942. Separated from her family, she
struggled to survive amidst the carnage of The Final Solution. How
she did so, and what she did in order to survive, is a gripping
story, told with wit, candour, and controlled anger. Widely praised
by many, including Jennifer Johnston, Michael Longley, and the
Guardian, and hailed by the Independent for its 'elegiac simplicity
and lucidity', A Time to Speak is an elegant memoir of the
Holocaust, humbling in its freedom from bitterness, which will
leave no reader unmoved.
