In four short stories, fusions of fiction, biography, autobiography
and poetry, Ali Smith pays tribute to the sources, the people and
the places which produce and nurture life and art.
The first full survey of crucial witnesses to the reception of
Piers Plowman. The fifty-plus surviving manuscripts of William
Langland's Piers Plowman cast important light on the early public
life of this central Middle English work, but they have been
relatively neglected by scholarship. This first full study of the
subject examines the textual variants, marginal rubrics and
companion texts in the manuscripts. It illuminates a reception
quite distinct from the reformist poems written by Langland's
imitators in "the Piers Plowman tradition". It reveals how the
earliest scribes devised various traditional forms of presentation
that proved remarkably durable in the poem's subsequent reception,
even surviving into the age of print. Exploring Piers Plowman's
appearances in the manuscripts, paired unexpectedly with such
genres as romance, hagiography and travel literature, the book
demonstrates the surprisingly affective responses of medieval
readers to the represented lives of the narrator Will and the title
figure Piers the Plowman. At the same time, it shows that the
evidence for individual scribal agendas in particular copies is
more ambiguous than often assumed, with each book reflecting the
activities of an unknown number of hands and an uncertain mixture
of design and accident. By drawing on evidence from textual
scholarship as well as codicological and literary approaches, the
author offers fresh insight into Piers Plowman's place in literary
history and proposes new ways of understanding the late medieval
manuscript as a multi-layered, collaborative product. Sarah Wood is
Associate Professor of Medieval English Literature at the

Case Studies in Couple and Family Therapy is one of the first
casebooks to have been written from the perspective of the early
career therapist and demonstrates how key issues in therapy occur
for both clients and supervisees. The book brings together chapters
from trainee therapists alongside expert commentary from the
editors who have extensive experience in supervising new
therapists. Covering a range of self-of-the-therapist issues, these
case studies navigate the complexities of presenting problems,
multiple systems involvement, the complication of past traumas, and
working in a medical environment, all of which beginning therapists
are often unprepared to face. The editors provide introductions to
each case study, as well as clinical suggestions and topics for
discussion in supervision. Foregrounding the issues and challenges
of the therapist-in-training, Case Studies in Couple and Family
Therapy is a valuable resource to developing couple and family
therapists, as well as supervisors and educators in the field.

Overseas department of France in Amazonia and 'ultraperipheral
region' of the EU, Guyane (French Guiana) is at the juncture of
Europe, the Caribbean and South America. This collection of essays
explores historical and conceptual locations of Guyane, as a
relational space characterised by dynamics of interaction and
conflict between the local, the national and the global. Does
Guyane have, or has it had, its own place in the world, or is it a
borderland which can only make sense in relation to elsewhere: to
France and its colonial history, for example, or to African and
other diasporas, or as a 'margin' of Europe? This edited collection
is the first volume to study Guyane from multiple perspectives. It
subjects the enduring cliches and negative stereotypes regarding
Guyane to critical examination, exploring how discourse on this DOM
is, and has been, formed and how it may evolve. Chapters discuss
geographical, literary and cultural 'locations' of Guyane, past and
present, challenging its relegation to the 'periphery', whilst also
historicizing the production of its marginal status. Finally, the
collection aims to outline possible future challenges to the
conceptual location of Guyane and possible directions for continued
research.
With its jagged, volcanic peaks; sands of gold, black and silver;
palm-trimmed Pacific and Caribbean coastlines; tufted fields of
coffee; dense jungles, snow-capped mountains and idyllic islands;

of eye-popping geological highlights on one of Latin America's most
varied terrains. Now in its third edition Bradt's Colombia enchants
wildlife fanatics and provides plenty of first-hand insight into
striking colonial cities, rainforests, beaches, historic villages
and secret gems.

This is an exploration of the possibilities of letting go of our
inner desire for control. Without Mastery constantly engages the
pleasure, rigour and strangeness of reading, invoking the
forcefulness of the Weird Sisters, Plato's Lady Necessity and
assorted literary animals, angels, ghosts and children to explore
the inner workings of our desire for mastery, and especially the
omnipotence of thoughts. For Sarah Wood the thought of Derrida,
Freud, Cixous, Plato and others is a kind of dramatic interaction,
a message to be received emotionally and responded to inventively
in writing that is both critical and creative. The destructiveness
of masterful thinking has brought the planet into environmental
crisis and continues to deny the facts. Reading, this book makes
clear, teaches us to engage with the unthinkable. It provides a
challenge and an alternative to 'masterful' or technical approaches
to theory. It demonstrates that writing and power can work
productively together. It draws on the power of poetry and fiction
to help us think and puts this to work in the book's own practice
of creative critical writing. It presents original new readings of
canonical literary writers.
