In a world where everyone is striving for what is not worth having, orphan Becky Sharp sets out to claw her way to the top of English society.
Written by Gwyneth Hughes, this 7-episode Vanity Fair is a new adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s 19th century literary classic. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, Becky’s story of villainy, crime, merriment, lovemaking, jilting, laughing, cheating, fighting and dancing takes her all the way to the court of King George IV, via the Battle of Waterloo, breaking hearts and losing fortunes as she goes.
More than 50 years ago, President Kennedy gave an address to
Congress that launched the community mental health movement in the
U.S. This movement involved a vast and complex effort to replace
the wholesale institutionalization of people with serious mental
illnesses with community mental health centers, public education on
mental illness, and prevention efforts. The mission and main thrust
of this new movement, however, were quite simple: we would provide
effective mental health treatment to people in their home
communities and provide the conditions for them to have 'a life in
the community.' Starting in the 1990s with Jim, a person who was
homeless and initially refused help from outreach workers,
Citizenship & Mental Health tells a 20-year story of practice,
theory, and research to support the full participation of persons
with mental illnesses who, in many cases, have also been homeless,
have criminal charges in their past, and are poor. As the first of
its kind, this book addresses the concept of citizenship as an
applied theory for fulfilling the promise of the community mental
health center movement. Citizenship is defined as a strong
connection to the 5 R's of rights, responsibilities, roles,
resources, and relationships that society offers to its members,
and a sense of belonging that comes from others' recognition of
one's valued membership in society. The citizenship model supports
the strengths, hopes, and aspirations of people with mental
illnesses to become neighbors, community members, and citizens.
Go beyond the bottle and step inside the minds- and vines- of
Virginia's burgeoning wine industry in this groundbreaking volume.
Join grape grower and industry insider Walker Elliott Rowe as he
guides you through some of the top vineyards and wineries in the
Old Dominion. Rowe explores the minds of pioneering winemakers and
vineyard owners, stitches together an account of the wine
industry's foundation in Virginia, from Jamestown to Jefferson to
Barboursville, and uncovers the fascinating missing chapter in
Virginia wine history. As the Philip Carter Winery's motto
explains, 'Before there was Jefferson, there was Carter.'
Rowe goes behind the scenes to interview migrant workers who
toil daily in the vineyards, makes the rounds in Richmond with an
industry lobbyist and talks shop with winemakers on the science and
techniques that have helped put the Virginia wine industry on the
map. Also included are twenty-four stunning color photographs from
professional photographer Jonathan Timmes and a foreword by noted
wine journalist Richard Leahy.
Maya and Daughter live in complete isolation in a secluded woodland, their days aligned with the light and changing seasons, a complex pattern of routine and ritual. Daughter has never questioned the life her mother has chosen for them; the life that has meant she's never met another soul, or known anywhere except their forest home.
But one day, when Daughter is almost sixteen, a red-haired stranger steps into the confines of their territory. Where there was always two, suddenly there are three - and the carefully constructed world that Maya has built to keep her daughter safe may not survive it.
Urgent, haunting and thrillingly alive, Life Cycle of a Moth explores both the tenderness and ferocity of maternal love, asking what we might find ourselves capable of - and willing to sacrifice - in order to shelter those we hold dear.
Claire knows best. She doesn't listen to warnings from her family.
She doesn't wash behind her ears, she tells lies and she watches
too much telly. What will become of her? Watch Claire transform as
potatoes appear behind her ears; her nose grows; her eyes turn
square and her hair loses its curls. But Claire doesn't care, until
...she ignores one final warning! Hodgson sets up each scene with a
hint of what might happen - the story then revealed through Rowe's
lively and bold illustrations. Hodgson, a former journalist, lives
in south-east England. She is also author of The Robot Who Couldn't
Cry, Hugh's Blue Day and The Teeny Weeny Walking Stick - all
published by Hogs Back Books. Harriet Rowe is a graduate from
Falmouth University and lives in London. This is her first
children's picture book.
