The Fleabag bites back. A rip-roaring account of some sort of
female living her sort of life. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's debut play
is an outrageously funny monologue for a female performer. It
premiered at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performed by
Phoebe herself, before transferring to Soho Theatre, London, for
several successful runs, followed by a UK tour. It won a Fringe
First Award in Edinburgh, the Most Promising New Playwright and
Best Female Performance at the Off West End Theatre Awards, The
Stage Award for Best Solo Performer and the Critics' Circle Award
for Most Promising Playwright. It received a Special Commendation
in the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and was nominated for the
Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre.
In 2016 it was turned into a wildly successful and 'utterly
riveting' (Guardian) BBC television series. This edition also
features an introduction by the author.
He was one of America's most exciting and secretive generals--the
man Franklin Roosevelt made his top spy in World War II. A mythic
figure whose legacy is still intensely debated, "Wild Bill" Donovan
was director of the Office of Strategic Services (the country's
first national intelligence agency) and the father of today's CIA.
Donovan introduced the nation to the dark arts of covert warfare on
a scale it had never seen before. Now, veteran journalist Douglas
Waller has mined government and private archives throughout the
United States and England, drawn on thousands of pages of recently
declassified documents, and interviewed scores of Donovan's
relatives, friends, and associates to produce a riveting biography
of one of the most powerful men in modern espionage.
William Joseph Donovan's life was packed with personal drama. The
son of poor Irish Catholic parents, he married into Protestant
wealth and fought heroically in World War I, where he earned the
nickname "Wild Bill" for his intense leadership and the Medal of
Honor for his heroism. After the war he made millions as a
Republican lawyer on Wall Street until FDR, a Democrat, tapped him
to be his strategic intelligence chief. A charismatic leader,
Donovan was revered by his secret agents. Yet at times he was
reckless--risking his life unnecessarily in war zones, engaging in
extramarital affairs that became fodder for his political
enemies--and he endured heartbreaking tragedy when family members
died at young ages.
Wild Bill Donovan reads like an action-packed spy thriller, with
stories of daring young men and women in his OSS sneaking behind
enemy lines for sabotage, breaking into Washington embassies to
steal secrets, plotting to topple Adolf Hitler, and suffering
brutal torture or death when they were captured by the Gestapo. It
is also a tale of political intrigue, of infighting at the highest
levels of government, of powerful men pitted against one another.
Donovan fought enemies at home as often as the Axis abroad.
Generals in the Pentagon plotted against him.
J. Edgar Hoover had FBI agents dig up dirt on him. Donovan stole
secrets from the Soviets before the dawn of the Cold War and had
intense battles with Winston Churchill and British spy chiefs over
foreign turf. Separating fact from fiction, Waller investigates the
successes and the occasional spectacular failures of Donovan's
intelligence career.
It makes for a gripping and revealing portrait of this most
controversial spymaster.

In Revolution in Poetic Language, Julia Kristeva explicates her
foundational distinction between the semiotic and the symbolic and
explores their interrelationships. Linking the psychosomatic to the
literary and the literary to a larger political horizon, she
questions the premises of linguistic, psychoanalytic,
philosophical, and literary theories.
A Creative Approach to Teaching Science is filled with exciting and
innovative ways to teach and meet the objectives for primary
physics, chemistry and biology from Years 1-6. Each idea has been
tried and tested, used in the classroom with children of the
relevant age range, and all are deep rooted in practical enquiry
with clear links to the statutory requirements for primary science.
This book is jam-packed full of strategies and ready made ideas
with a creative edge, aimed at engaging children and encouraging
them to think critically and scientifically, and to consider key
scientific topics in real life scenarios. This book is a must-have
for teachers looking to inspire their pupils, and making sure they
have fun along the way.
A university education has long been seen as the gateway to upward
social mobility for individuals from lower socio-economic
backgrounds, and as a way of reproducing social advantage for the
better off. With the number of young people from the very highest
socio-economic groups entering university in the UK having
effectively been at saturation point for several decades, the
expansion witnessed in participation rates over the last few
decades has largely been achieved by a modest broadening of the
base of the undergraduate population in terms of both social class
and ethnic diversity. However, a growing body of evidence exists in
the continuation of unequal graduate outcomes. This can be seen in
terms of employment trajectories in the UK. The issue of just who
enjoys access to which university, and the experiences and outcomes
of graduates from different institutions remain central to
questions of social justice, notably higher education's
contribution to social mobility and to the reproduction of social
inequality. This collection of contemporary original writings
explores these issues in a range of specific contexts, and through
employing a range of theoretical and methodological approaches. The
relationship between higher education and social mobility has
probably never been under closer scrutiny. This volume will appeal
to academics, policy makers, and commentators alike. Higher
Education and Social Inequalities is an important contribution to
the public and academic debate.

What are the challenges for the current generation of graduate
millennials? The role of universities and the changing nature of
the graduate labour market are constantly in the news, but less is
known about the experiences of those going through it. This new
book traces the transition to the graduate labour market of a
cohort of middle-class and working-class young people who were
tracked through seven years of their undergraduate and
post-graduation lives. Using personal stories and voices, the book
provides fascinating insights into the group's experience of
graduate employment and how their life-course transitions are
shaped by their social backgrounds and education. Critically
evaluating current government and university policies, it shows the
attitudes and values of this generation towards their hopes and
aspirations on employment, political attitudes and cultural
practices.

This book traces the history of the Annunciation, exploring the
deep and lasting impact of the event on the Western imagination.
Waller explores the Annunciation from its appearance in Luke's
Gospel, to its rise to prominence in religious doctrine and popular
culture, and its gradual decline in importance during the
Enlightenment.
Everyone knows someone who suffers from anxiety, depression, or another
form of mental illness, but a stigma around mental health remains -
especially in the church. Ryan Casey Waller--pastor, therapist, and
cosufferer - has experienced firsthand the jarring dissonance of
wrestling with mental health while trying to maintain a vibrant
Christian faith. It can be a discouraging, lonely battle. But it
doesn't have to be.
In this book, Waller emphasizes that mental health issues are not a
symptom of a spiritual failing or insufficient faith; rather, suffering
is the very thing our Savior seeks to heal as he leads us toward
restoration.
Combining practical theology, clinical insights, and deep compassion,
Waller invites readers to:
- See why we need conversations in the church about mental
health and how to have them
- Discover why seeking knowledge about one's self is critical
to growing deeper in relationship with God
- Understand the basics of brain health, the intersection of
biology and spirituality, and why emotional intelligence deserves more
attention
- Learn practical steps such as how to find a therapist,
distinguish between a psychiatrist and a psychologist, and afford
treatment
- Become equipped to support loved ones with mental illness
while promoting healthy self-care.
Working through the process of image-making in a therapeutic
relationship, the art therapist is able to explore feelings,
fantasies, and myths in different setting with diverse client
groups. Originally published in 1987 Images of Art Therapy is a
collection of essays by experienced art therapists which discuss
and develop both theoretical and practical issues central to art
therapy. The authors describe how they work through the use of
illustrated case material which includes children, adolescents, and
adults, in normal schools, psychiatric hospitals, therapeutic
communities, and out-patient clinics. Theoretical considerations
include bereavement, play, transference, symbolism, and verbal
versus non-verbal communication. The first book on art therapy, Art
as Therapy, edited by Tessa Dalley, was a useful introduction to
the subject. Images of Art Therapy expands the issues raised in the
earlier book in more depth, and develops new and innovative ideas
which it was hoped, at the time, would influence both the theory
and practice of art therapy in the future.
'A very thoughtful, balanced and practical approach.' - J.John,
Evangelist Worry has reached epidemic proportions. Many are
suffering in silence, unsure if psychological solutions are
appropriate for them, or if biblical teaching can lead them to
freedom. The Worry Book offers a fresh solution: seeing the process
of worry as the problem, rather than getting stuck into individual
concerns. We can often use worry to create a sense of certainty and
control, but the illusion is temporary, and we generate even more
problems in the process. Here we learn about the factors behind
worry, and how to disable the cycle of worry and tolerate
uncertainty - principles we can apply to every situation. This is a
journeyman's guide through the comedy and heartache of discovering
worry's function, and so removing its power. Good theology and
psychology combine here to offer new perspectives and real hope.
You will find real lives and real people, and solutions which are
both practical and doable.
David Hamilton is a leader in the American institutionalist
school of heterodox economics that emerged after WWII. This volume
includes 25 articles written by Hamilton over a period of nearly
half a century. In these articles he examines the philosophical
foundations and practical problems of economics. The result of this
is a unique institutionalist view of how economies evolve and how
economics itself has evolved with them. Hamilton applies insight
gained from his study of culture to send the message that human
actions situated in culture determine our economic situation.
David Hamilton has advanced heterodox economics by replacing
intellectual concepts from orthodox economics that hinder us with
concepts that help us. In particular, Hamilton has helped replace
equilibrium with evolution, make-believe with reality, ideological
distortion of government with practical use of government, the
economy as a product of natural law with the economy as a product
of human law and, last, he has helped us replace the entrepreneur
as a hero with the entrepreneur as a real person.
These articles provide an alternative to the self-adjusting
market. They provide an explanation of how the interaction of
cultural patterns and technology determine the evolutionary path of
the economic development of a nation. This is not a simple
materialist depiction of economic history as some Marxists have
advocated, instead Hamilton treats technology and culture as
endogenous forces, embedded and inseparable from each other and
therefore, economic development. This volume will be of most
interest and value to professional economists and graduate students
who are looking for an in-depth explanation of the origins and
significance of institutional economics.
