We all share identical properties that mark us out as human beings. Even so, every person is unique; we are not clones. It's the same with depression-or perhaps more properly the depressions (plural)-because they manifest in so many different ways and under different circumstances, yet in essence remain the same. This is a simple enough observation, yet there appears to be little understanding of the condition-or conditions-among the general public, who tend to lump together all states of 'feeling miserable' into something to be snapped out of, a disease category to be treated medically, or a feebleness of personality to be disapproved of and dismissed. In this new title from Wyn Bramley, many different views on causation and treatment are explored. The emphasis is on real people's experiences from all aspects of the depressions-sufferers, helpers, family and friends-not a self-help work, but an all-encompassing aid to understanding this common condition.

When Reverend Aiden Fleischer, vicar of the sleepy town of Theaston Vale, finds a hunchbacked, light-sensitive and crippled vagabond named Clarissa Stark begging at his door, little does he suspect it's the start of an adventure that's literally out of this world! Bribed by an unscrupulous family, Fleischer and his companion flee to London's missionary college, but in wicked Whitechapel, the faithless priest stumbles upon one of Jack the Ripper's victims and becomes convinced that he himself is the notorious killer.

Beneath the twin suns of the planet Ptallaya, Fleischer and Stark encounter an alien species, the Yatsill, master mimics who, after gaining access to Miss Stark's mind, create their own bizarre version of Victorian London. But Fleischer and Stark's new home from home is not safe, for the Blood Gods will soon invade, and if he is to defeat them and rescue the woman he's come to love, Fleischer must first face his own inner demons!

"Listen! We of the Spear-Danes in the days of yore, of those clan-kings, heard of their glory, how those nobles performed courageous deeds!" So begins the greatest fantasy story of them all, the Old English epic poem Beowulf  . It is a story that has fascinated people throughout the ages inspiring the likes of J. R. R. Tolkien, Seamus Heaney and Neil Gaiman. King Hrothgar's great golden mead-hall Heorot is under a curse, subject to attacks by the mirth-hating night-stalker Grendel. None are capable of destroying the monster, although many have tried, until Beowulf and his company of Geatish warriors cross the sail-road and land on Danish shores... Beowulf Beastslayer  is a brand new take on the Anglo-Saxon epic, re-imagining the events described in the poem as an adventure gamebook.

A tale of monsters... A legend reborn!

What is industrial horror? Is it smoke stacks and gas towers? Is it the metal cranes of the shipyards turned golem? The stuff of our nightmares has been evolving since the industrial revolution and the rise of the machines.   Machines aren't our friends. We were told they would bring freedom and leisure time, three day weeks and the like, but what they brought was redundancy, replacement, and the scrap heaps of life. How can you not look for horror in something capable of so much wholesale destruction of hope?  And that's what's waiting for you in here, the wholesale destruction of hope at the hands of twisted industrial landscapes, smoke stacks and gas towers and metal golems that have no souls, no spirits, and can so easily drape themselves in our skins and walk in our shoes, doing everything we can do, faster, and with ruthless efficiency, removing the need for us. That's the world these stories live in, and it's a bleak place.

This is the first textbook and reference work on evaluation intended for event management and event tourism. Drawing upon generic evaluation theory and methods, event and tourism research and real-world experiences, the author provides concepts and tools needed for the establishment of a comprehensive evaluation system and the implementation of varied evaluation projects.  The strength of this book lies in its emphasis on evaluation foundations, both theoretical and methodological, enabling the student and practitioner to adapt the evaluation process to many situations using: *A range of tools from simple checklists to more advanced logic models; *Specific chapters devoted to the most challenging evaluation contexts: the visitor and their experience, quality and human resources; *A chapter devoted to exploring different evaluation challenges in the full range of planned events, including the tourism dimension; *An introduction of impact assessment.  The Events Management Theory and Methods Series examines the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of event management and event tourism. Each compact volume contains overviews of mainstream management theories and methods, examples from the events literature, case studies, and guidance on all aspects of planned-event management. They introduce the theory, show how it is being used in the events sector through a literature review, incorporate examples and case studies written by researchers and/or practitioners, and contain methods that can be used effectively in the real world. Series editor: Donald Getz.  With online resource material, this mix-and-match collection is ideal for lecturers who need theoretical foundations and case studies for their classes, by students in need of reference works, by professionals wanting increased understanding alongside practical methods, and by agencies or associations that want their members and stakeholders to have access to a library of valuable resources.

Genjo Koan is the most important chapter in Zen master Dogen's principal major work, the Shobogenzo. Although Genjo Koan has been translated into English many times, and is familiar to Buddhists both east and west, it is still not well understood. This new commentary by Buddhist teacher and author David Brazier draws back the curtain revealing the deeper meaning of the text in language that will be as transparent to the general reader as it is informative to the specialist.  The Dark Side of the Mirror reveals the pivotal principle at the heart of Dogen's Zen and shows how his revelation of it was rooted in his personal experience, as well as in the religious consciousness of his time.   For Dogen scholars, Brazier provides a wealth of previously unpublished connections within Dogen's thought, resolving knotty problems of interpretation. For Zen practitioners, Genjo Koan reveals the meaning of satori and the way that it irreversibly commits the practitioner to a life-long 'going forth' in the service of all sentient beings. For the general reader it provides a unique insight into Japanese and Chinese medieval religion and, through this prism, throws light upon spirituality and spiritual experience universally.

Shantigarbha shows how we connect with each other in the space that opens up when we let go of our ideas of good and bad, right and wrong. When we feel safe and connected to ourselves, we don't need to use these labels, and we are also connected to the people around us with a sense of compassionate presence, intense closeness, and empathy. To empathize with others, we need to learn how to empathize with ourselves, so that when we reach out, we do so from the inside out. To support this, in each chapter there are practical exercises for individual or group study. Shantigarbha also shows how through this empathy we can find a way to stay connected to our humanity, and contribute to a more peaceful world.

Tat* is a bit of a graphic  designer's curse. Walk into any design studio and you will see tat  pinned to the walls or placed with loving care on top of a computer  screen. Even the purist will have a secret cache hidden away somewhere.   Andy  Altmann began collecting tat while he was on his Foundation course,  getting ready for an interview at St Martins School of Art. He'd been  asked to present a sketchbook, but worried that he couldn't draw very  well, he decided to start a scrapbook: "I rummaged through the drawers  at home and found some football cards from the late 1960s and early '70s  (plenty of Georgie Best), an instruction leaflet from an old Hoover,  Christmas cracker jokes, and so on. Then I started on the magazines,  cutting out images of anything that interested me. And finally I took  myself off to the college library, where I photocopied things from books  before reaching for the scissors and glue." It was the beginning of a  significant collecting habit.   So what it is that makes a piece of  graphic tat interesting? Is it the 'retro' thing - a fascination with a  bygone age, the primitive printing techniques, the naivety of the  design, or the use of colour? All of the above, of course, but it's not  quite that simple. "Occasionally people offer me something they've found  that they think I might like", says Andy. "But usually they're wrong -  it doesn't excite me at all. The magic is missing."   To a graphic  designer, most the content of this book can safely be regarded as 'bad'  design. But there is some magic in each and every piece that has made  Andy either pick it up off the street, trail through online links, or  enter some dodgy looking shop on the other side of the world just to  snap it up. Here you'll find everything from sweet wrappers to flash  cards, from soap powder boxes to speedway flyers, from wrestling  programmes to bus tickets. More tat than you can shake a stick at. Taken  together, it represents a lifetime of gleeful hunting and gathering.    * tat (noun) - anything that looks cheap, is of low quality, or in bad condition; junk, rubbish, debris, detritus, crap, shite

"A man called Berg, who changed his name to Greb, came to a seaside town intending to kill his father. . ." So begins Ann Quin's madcap frolic with sinister undertones, a debut "so staggeringly superior to most you'll never forget it" (The Guardian ). Alistair Berg hears where his father, who has been absent from his life since his infancy, is living. Without revealing his identity, Berg takes a room next to the one where his father and father's mistress are lodging and he starts to plot his father's elimination. Seduction and violence follow, though not quite as Berg intends, with Quin lending the proceedings a delightful absurdist humor. Anarchic, heady, dark, Berg is Quin's masterpiece, a classic of post-war avant-garde British writing, and now finally back in print after much demand.

Patients with mental health issues present frequently in primary care and their consultations are often more challenging and time-consuming than those involving physical illness. For many patients there remains a significant stigma associated with mental ill-health and overcoming this adds further complexity to the consultation.  Improving the Mental Health Consultation provides a simple 'short circuit' tool to help GPs and other healthcare professionals to explain mental health problems simply and effectively to their patients. The tool is straightforward, easy to convey within the confines of a 10-minute consultation and extremely effective in helping to break down the stigma that patients often feel.  The tool has been developed and refined during over ten years of consultations in primary care. The detailed explanations of how to use the tool during the consultation, along with the extensive case studies, will help you to improve your mental health consultations and so help your patients deal better with their diagnosis.  From anxiety to OCD and chronic fatigue to fibromyalgia, the book also provides detailed coverage of diagnosis and classification using ICD-11 and DSM-IV, and management using the latest NICE guidelines.

'The Dry Heart' begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: 'I shot him between the eyes.' As the tale a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and revenge proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?
