The glittering story of April Ashley, model and trans pioneer, and
the divorce case which gripped 1960s Britain and defined
transgender rights for a generation. As Britain emerged from
post-war austerity in the 1960s, no one embodied its newfound
spirit of hedonism and glamour like April Ashley. A fashion model
and socialite who rose from poverty in Liverpool to the heights of
London society via Le Carrousel nightclub in Paris, she was also
one of the first Britons to undergo gender-affirming surgery.
Ashley was appointed MBE for services to transgender equality in
2012, but her journey towards acceptance was hard-won and bitterly
contested. In 1961, a friend sold her story to a tabloid and she
was told that she would never work in the UK again. Her brief
marriage to Arthur Corbett, the son of a baron, set off a
high-profile divorce battle, resulting in a landmark 1970 decision
denying transgender women legal status as women — and denying
Ashley her husband’s inheritance. Drawing on a wide variety of
sources, award-winning biographers Jacqueline Kent and Tom Roberts
tell the full story of April Ashley’s extraordinary life at the
vanguard of the sexual revolution and the movement for trans
equality.
Young detectives will never tire of this picture-search puzzle
book. Readers can pore over seventeen cleverly illustrated scenes
of events from the life of Jesus to find the answers to the
questions posed on each page. Some puzzles involve looking for
details of everyday life, others highlight things that happened in
the Bible stories, offering hours of entertainment to readers as
they search for the answers. With lots to find, this kind of
picture book is particularly great for visual learners, helping all
children gain key insights into the life of Jesus as they super
sleuth their way through the book.
Two renowned theologians open up the reality of God's glory in this
book, offering readers a dynamic foundation for glorifying God in
the twenty-first century. Drawing from Christian spirituality,
liturgy, poetry, hymns, iconography, seminal "glory" texts in the
Bible, the Nicene Creed, and theologians throughout the ages who
caught sight of the glory of God in diverse ways, this book
explores the immensely rich and generative soteriological theme of
glorification. It shows students how to integrate theology into the
life of faith and demonstrates how the practices of Christian
worship influence theological thinking. Metaphors, descriptions,
evocations, concepts, narratives, and more highlight the amazing,
abundant reality of glorification. This is the first book in the
Soteriology and Doxology series. These introductory textbooks cover
key topics in soteriology, providing substantive treatments of
doctrine while pointing to the setting of theology in doxology.
Series editors are Kent Eilers and Kyle C. Strobel.
As in the earlier editions, the emphasis is on the practical
fundamentals of orchestration. The Sixth Edition has been expanded
and revised to reflect new developments in instruments and
orchestral practice, and a new listening compact disc has been
added that contains selected examples of orchestration.
