Duluth, Minnesota. 1934. A community living on a knife-edge. Lost
and lonely people huddle together in the local guesthouse. The
owner, Nick, owes more money than he can ever repay, his wife
Elizabeth is losing her mind, and their daughter Marianne is
carrying a child no one will account for. So, when a preacher
selling bibles and a boxer looking for a comeback turn up in the
middle of the night, things spiral beyond the point of no return...
In Girl from the North Country, Conor McPherson beautifully weaves
the iconic songbook of Bob Dylan into a show full of hope,
heartbreak and soul. It premiered at The Old Vic, London, in July
2017, in a production directed by Conor McPherson, and later
transferred to the West End, Broadway, Australia, Ireland and
toured the UK.

[...] So I want to place them all round a fantasy dinner-table, not
just to dine, but to relive how I saw them in action and how much
they had in common. Who would be on your dream dinner party guest
list? Over his 50 years in broadcasting, Archie Macpherson has seen
many sports personalities come and go; in Touching the Heights he
collects the 13 who have inspired him most around his fantasy
dinner table. Some are well-known, others less so, but all shaped
both their sport and those, like Macpherson, who watched their
careers unfold. Tommy Docherty * Jackie Paterson * Jim Baxter Eric
Brown * Jimmy Johnstone * Sandra Whittaker Dr Richard Budgett *
Ally MacLeod * Jock Stein * Sir Alex Ferguson * Bill McLaren * Jim
MacLean * Graeme Souness From football to golf, boxing to
athletics, Touching the Heights celebrates the breadth of Scottish
sporting achievement. Whether telling the tale of a boy who
acquired new shoes by stealing them from the local baths, or that
of a distinguished medical scientist at the centre of sporting
transgender debates, one thing unites them all: Without them life
would have been much poorer.
A heartwarming snapshot of the horse-and-buggy era? On the contrary
-- Jeff Mcpherson reports that honor systems are making a comeback
in the 21st century. Drawing on years of personal experience and
interviews with dozens of fellow farmers, business owners and
customers, he shows how you can make the honor system work to your
advantage. Honor System Marketing tells how to adapt honor
marketing to fit your own needs and capacities. Mcpherson details
how to avoid common pitfalls, manage finances, and maintain a sense
of optimism. This book shows how honor system marketing can become
an essential tool for doing business and reviving our spirit of
trust in humanity.
"The Civil War was the most dramatic, violent, and fateful
experience in American history. . . . Little wonder that the Civil
War had a profound impact that has echoed down the generations and
remains undiminished today. That impact helps explain why at least
50,000 books and pamphlets . . . on the Civil War have been
published since the 1860s. Most of these are in the Library of
Congress, along with thousands of unpublished letters, diaries, and
other documents that make this depository an unparalleled resource
for studying the war. From these sources, the editors of "The
Library of Congress Civil War Desk Reference "have compiled a
volume that every library, every student of the Civil War--indeed
everyone with an interest in the American past--will find
indispensable." --From the Foreword by James M. McPherson, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author of "Battle Cry of Freedom "
'An electrifying account of gambling addiction ... compelling' The
Times 'Searingly honest ... should be in the hands of anyone who
has eyed a bet' Daily Mail 'A remarkable piece of work' The
Cricketer 'Compulsive' The i 'An in-depth testimony' Daily
Telegraph 'An extraordinary story ... vital stuff' Adrian Chiles,
BBC Radio 5 Live 'A no-holds-barred journey through gambling
addiction and into the hope of recovery' Paul Merson 'Patrick’s
story will stop you in your tracks' Sam Billings, England cricketer
The unputdownable story of a life shattered by a secret gambling
addiction – and an uplifting tale of recovery. With a foreword by
Marcus Trescothick. For more than 12 years, Patrick Foster lived a
double life. Turning 31, a popular and sociable young teacher and
former professional cricketer, he had a lovely girlfriend and a
supportive family. But he was hiding a secret and debilitating
gambling addiction from even those closest to him. Huge bets had
led to huge debts, thousands of lies, and consequences for his
mental health that pushed him to the edge of the platform at Slough
station, where he was moments from taking his own life in March
2018. That month Patrick had turned a £30 bet into £28,000, then
lost £50,000 on a single horse, Might Bite, in the Cheltenham Gold
Cup, watching the race in a silent classroom as his students
undertook a mock exam in front of him. In his desperation, he had
taken out every possible loan, and borrowed money from family,
friends and even the parents of children he taught. Although his
life was unravelling around him, he could not stop. You might think
that this is just one man’s story. But problem gambling affects
one in 200 people in the UK alone. Hundreds lose their lives
annually as a result. The industry is worth more than £14 billion.
Might Bite is a shocking, cautionary tale of just how easy it is to
fall victim to the insidious lure of ‘winning big’. And of how
recovery is possible from the depths of addiction, no matter how
inescapable it seems. ‘As a society, we are only just getting to
grips with gambling addiction. Patrick Foster is a trailblazer. His
work will help many.’ Marcus Trescothick

The Psychological Impact of Boarding School is a collection of
research-based essays answering a range of questions about boarding
school and its long-term impact. Through a combination of original
in-depth first-person narratives as well as larger scale surveys,
this book aims to fill gaps in current boarding school research and
present new findings. Topics addressed include gender differences,
eating behaviours, loneliness, mental health and relationships, the
differences between younger and older boarders, and ex-boarder
experiences of therapy. The research results highlight a key role
in the age that children start boarding, the way that long-term
psychological influences of friendships formed at school, and the
larger role that parent and family relationships play in the
psychological lives of boarders. Through these findings, the book
ultimately challenges the current understanding of "boarding school
syndrome," proposing a move beyond the term and its concept. The
book will appeal to psychologists, psychoanalysts, counsellors,
academics, teachers, current and ex-boarders as well as parents and
guardians interested in the impact of boarding schools from either
a professional or a personal perspective.

Who did you talk to about sex when you were a kid? If you're a
Millennial, chances are your answer is "nobody." In this
all-inclusive look into a man's world, author Michael McPherson
shines a light on what it was like for the men of his generation to
mature sexually, and why so many still haven't. He explores what's
currently in the way of men experiencing an empowered relationship
with sex and what they can do to take back their power. Along the
way, Michael brings to light some of the less understood nuances of
sex including sex energy, sexual desire, and the purpose of sex.
Captivating, rich, and heart-wrenchingly vulnerable, Everything You
Never Learned About Sex is a revolutionary blueprint for men to
deconstruct their inherited relationship to sex, step outside the
cultural norm, say 'no' to the further manipulation of their sex
energy, and rebuild a relationship with sex on the basis of love
instead of fear. Michael, through his self-reflective insights,
on-the-court shares, and 'how-to' embodiment practices, empowers
his audience to reclaim their stolen innocence, restore their
heart, honor sex as sacred, and use their sex energy to create more
love in the world.
Uncover a new way to network and build relationships that last!
Networking is often considered a necessary evil for all working
professionals. With social media platforms like Linkedin, Twitter,
Instagram, and Facebook at our disposal, reaching potential
investors or employers is much easier. Yet, these connections often
feel transactional, agenda-driven, and dehumanizing, leaving
professionals feeling burnt out and stressed out. Instead, we
should connect on a human level and build authentic relationships
beyond securing a new job or a new investor for your next big idea.
To build real and meaningful networking contacts, we need to go
back to basics, remembering that technology is a tool and not a
means and end. We need to tap into our humanity and learn to be
more intentional and authentic. As a "serial connector" and
communications expert, Susan McPherson has a lifetime of experience
building genuine connections in and out of work. Her methodology is
broken down into three simple steps 1. Gather: Instead of waiting
for the perfect networking opportunity to come to you, think
outside the box and create your own opportunity. Host your own
dinner party, join a local meet-up group, or volunteer at your
neighborhood food pantry. Anyone from your local barista to a
fellow parent at your daughter's elementary school can lead to
another connection that you just might need. 2. Ask: Instead of
leading with our own rehearsed elevator pitches asking for help,
ask to help, opening the door to share resources, experience,
contacts, and perspectives that add diversity to your own vision.
3. Do: Turn new connections into meaningful relationships by taking
these newly formed relationships deeper. Follow through on the
promises you made, keep in touch, and learn to move past small talk
by embracing your vulnerability and having conversations that
matter. Woven together with helpful tips and useful advice on
making the most out of every step, the book draws on the real-life
success stories of friends, and clients, as well as McPherson's own
experience as a renowned "serial connector." Filled with humor,
humility, and wisdom, The Lost Art of Connecting is the handbook we
all need to foster personal and professional relationships that
blur the lines between work and play-and enrich our lives in every
way.
'I love McPherson's books - the clear and effortless prose, the
entirely credible characters, and the wonderfully twisty plots -
and Strangers at the Gate is one of her best' Ann Cleeves Who do
you turn to, when everyone's a stranger and you stop believing what
your own eyes see? Finnie Doyle and Paddy Lamb are leaving city
life in Edinburgh behind them and moving to the little town of
Simmerton. Paddy has landed a partnership in a local solicitors and
Finnie's snagged a job as a church deacon. Their rented cottage is
quaint; their new colleagues are charming, and they can't believe
their luck. But witnessing the bloody aftermath of a brutal murder
changes everything. They've each been keeping secrets about their
pasts. And they both know their precious new start won't survive a
scandal. Together, for the best of reasons, they make the worst
decision of their lives. And that's only the beginning. The deep,
deep valley where Simmerton sits is unlike anywhere Finn and Paddy
have been before. They are not the only ones hiding in its shadow
and very soon they've lost control of the game they decided to
play... Praise for Catriona McPherson: 'An unnerving and
suspenseful novel' Karin Slaughter 'Just the right mixture of
spookiness and mystery' James Oswald 'A gripping thriller' Ian
Rankin 'A Gothic feast of a novel, this is a country house book
with a difference: contemporary, punchy and disturbing, but using
the tricks and twists of the best of Christie' Ann Cleeves 'Go To
My Grave is both a classic 'country house mystery' and a thriller.
Atmospheric, with mind-bending twists, a narrator who may or may
not be reliable, and an ending that will take your breath away and
leave you astonished' Louise Penny ' . . . drew me in from the very
first page, and I stayed up late reading it because I couldn't wait
to find out what happened next. That's the definition of a good
book' Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author 'A
tale that shivers with suspense' The New York Times
Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. At first glance,
Turkey may seem Westernized and entirely "modern"-but appearances
can be misleading. It is above all a land of contrasts, a heady
mixture of Oriental etiquette and ultramodern city life,
deep-rooted religious faith and determined secularism, a fierce
sense of national pride and openness to foreign ideas. The Turkish
people are very much their own center of gravity, and for the
unwary visitor there are pitfalls to avoid as well as great riches
to be found. Culture Smart! Turkey is an invaluable guide to the
intricate ins and outs of this culturally rich and complex society.
This updated edition outlines the complex history of Anatolia,
provides key insights into contemporary Turkish values and
attitudes, describes important customs and traditions, and reveals
what life is like for the Turks at home, at work, and at play. It
also offers practical tips and information about what to expect and
how to navigate different social situations. In this unique mix of
Islamic and European cultures, the Turks are extremely hospitable.
If you show an interest in their culture and respect for their
point of view, they will repay your effort many times over. Have a
richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better
understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values,
attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your
hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to
navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
