Protecting The Countryside
'From the beginning CPREunderstood that ordinary countryside matters: the fields beyond the village,the hedgerows along a lane, the footpaths where people walk and cyclists ride.'Simon Murray, CPRE Chair. Over the past century,unprecedented economic, social and political changes have transformed theEnglish rural landscape, bringing new housing, towns, roads, infrastructure andenterprise. Amongst the environmentalorganisations seeking to manage these changes The Campaign to Protect RuralEngland (CPRE) led the charge. Alarmed by the willy-nilly development of roads,new unsympathetic buildings, and the pylons and telephone lines of the 'wirescape',CPRE's founders believed development must be brought under political control. Preserving rural England, it insisted, was the responsibility of local andnational government, assisted by experts and backed by public opinion. In this new history ofCPRE, written to mark its first centenary, Matthew Kelly traces the developmentof the organisation and shows how by responding to the demands placed on ruralEngland, it became a more democratic, inclusive, and environmental organisation,and in turn more representative of the spirit of the country.

Long Weekend
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERVenture behind closed doors to uncover the secrets of life in the English country house between the wars – in all its splendour. During the 1920s and 1930s, as the sun set slowly on the British Empire, England's stately homes concealed worlds both opulent and ordinary, noble and viscious. This was a life draped in myth, hidden behind stiff upper lips and film-star smiles. Drawing on hundreds of memoirs, on unpublished letters and diaries, on the eye-witness testimonies of belted earls, unhappy heiresses and bullying butlers, The Long Weekend reveals how the image of the country house was carefully protected by its occupants above and below stairs, and how the reality was so much more interesting than the dream. 'A masterpiece of social history' Daily Mail‘A delicious cocktail of a book’ Country Life ‘A perfect piece of escapism’ Guardian

Psychedelics and Human Potential
A guide to psychedelically facilitated personal growth and self-discovery• Includes a brief history of the ancient roots of psychedelics, their rediscovery by the counterculture, and their contemporary use in treating trauma and mental illness• Offers the “Human Promise” program blending spiritual and philosophical tools and practices with psychedelics for self-actualization• Explores today’s regulatory environment, the role of AI, and the influence of the Information Age on psychedelic cultureDespite an unsettled legal landscape, the promise and potential of psychedelics continue to be at the forefront of thinking and research in the United States and around the world. What medicinal and therapeutic properties do the substances of MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, ibogaine, ayahuasca, and ketamine possess, and how can they help us to grow as individuals and as a cultur? r. Carlos Warter, with input from mental health counselor Arthur Lawida, explores these questions to offer a guide to psychedelics that blends history, contemporary context, and tools and practices to help readers realize self-actualization. Warter considers the history of psychedelics from North American peyote rituals to the counterculture of the 1960s and the psychedelic renaissance, exploring how the public perception of psychedelics has changed with an increasing acceptance of their therapeutic value. Moving toward the Human Promise of enlightenment, this book explains how psychedelics can be used in a transpersonal context for sustainable growth and self-discovery. It suggests tools and practices that can round out a program of self-development, including Pilates, Feldenkrais work, neurofeedback systems, and virtual reality. Readers will also learn how AI and information technology are changing the psychedelic and human-development landscape to help with deep healing and spiritual awakening.
Hottest Girl at Burn Camp
A wonderful book, I don't expect to read a better memoir for a very long time.' ROBERT WEBB, author of How Not To Be A Boy'Funny and heart breaking in equal measure' FERN BRADY, author of Strong Female Character'The guiltiest of literary pleasures: a memoir that you open with trepidation and stay up til 6am to finish' KATE SPICER, author of Lost Dog. 'Compelling, edgy and always hilarious. Absolutely essential reading.' JOSIE LONGWhen Krystal Evans was 14, the house that she shared with her mother and little sister burned down. Narrowly escaping by breaking a window and jumping out head-first Krystal suffered burns, smoke inhalation, and the unimaginable tragedy of losing her sister. That Evans has written such a warm and disarmingly funny memoir about what led the family to that fatal night, and how they coped with its aftermath, is nothing less than astonishing. This is a spellbinding story of growing up poor in America, living with a mentally ill mother, and having a wolf for a pet (really). From the indignities of being rejected from a summer camp for burn victims, to putting up with a succession of her mom's increasingly shady friends and partners, Krystal and Katie's childhoods were marked by adult chaos, inappropriate behaviour, and never knowing what the next day would bring. But, writing with joy, skill and candour, we witness Krystal growing as a person from the ashes of disaster into the confident, funny, and (reasonably) well-hinged adult, mother and comedian that she is today. At the same time, funny, tragic and inspiring, it is the story of a family dangerously close to the edge, and of a girl struggling to make her way into adulthood, once the smoke clears.

The Divided Mind
"A brilliant history of psychiatric ideas which suggests we are on the cusp of a transformation in our understanding of severe mental illness." The Guardian For centuries, mental and physical health have been divided, and disorders of the mind and body have been treated as if they were poles apart. But what if this mind/body split is not only outdated - but dangerously misleading? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Edward Bullmore confronts one of medicine's most enduring assumptions. Through the lens of schizophrenia - perhaps the most misunderstood of all psychiatric disorders - he lifts the lid on psychiatry's dark past. He highlights how the horror of the Nazi eugenics programme magnified a split between brain and mind theories which persists to this day. Illuminated by his personal experiences and the latest scientific research, The Divided Mind builds the case for a radical rethink of how we understand, and treat, so-called "mental" illness in the 21st century.

When her best friend, Mia, announces that her brother - Grace's runaway groom - is flying in from New York and will be attending her divorce party, Grace's heartbreak feels fresher than ever and she knows she needs a plan. Preferably one involving a date who will show Logan what he's missing. Enter Donal: a slightly chaotic Irishman who is definitely not Grace's type. But he's kind and keeps turning up exactly when she needs him most. As Grace juggles her (only) bridal commission with old wounds, heartbreak and a very unexpected spark, she will learn that sometimes the wrong man can be just right - and that the best love stories are the ones you never see coming.
