Lost in the Forest


'A message of hope' TLS'Inspiring' Spectator'A sumptuous mix of poetry, story and deep philosophical truths' FERGUS BUTLER-GALLIE'Colin Heber-Percy is a reliable guide' REV RICHARD COLESThis book is a hymn to getting lost. Drawing on his experience as a troubled schoolboy, a burnt-out screenwriter at the BBC, an 'awkward' priest in the Church of England, Colin Heber-Percy reflects on the value of not belonging... We all share a desire to belong. There's reassurance and safety in knowing who we are and where we fit in. But at significant moments in our lives - a new job, new school or an unexpected change of circumstances - or just in the ruts and routines of everyday life, we can experience a sense of not belonging, of dislocation, of being lost in a forest. But, there is another way to approach these uneasy moments. Rather than fearing the forest, Colin discovers great value and creativity there. Join parish priest Colin Heber-Percy in an invitation to get lost - to lose the labels society and institutions use to box us in - and to relish the liberation of losing our way in the world. Blending anecdotes from parish life, with philosophy, literature and tales from his local Savernake Forest, Colin argues that there is an overlooked richness, a spirituality and a freedom to be found outside the boundary lines our culture sets for us. Lost in the Forest is a gentle, funny, and life-affirming trail of crumbs through the woods...

Its A New Track Record!


Indianapolis track announcer Tom Carnegie used to whip the crowds into frenziedexcitement during qualification runs for the famous 500, especially when he intonedhis trademark exclamation “It’s… A… New Track Record!”. That occurred quite often during the period 1962–1972with its unprecedented explosion in speed. Parnelli Jones became the first manto break the 150-mph barrier with a lap at 150.370 mph in 1962, then just 10years later Bobby Unser’s 196.678 mph was not far short of the 200-mph mark. Thishappened because the “decade” brought extraordinary advances in car, engine andtire design, including takeover by the rear-engine configuration and theemergence of aerodynamic wings, wide slick tires and unrestricted turbochargedengines that ultimately produced over 1,000 horsepower. Foremost Indianapolis500 historian Rick Shaffer tells the entire story with authority and style inthis captivating book.  Key content• Year-by-year coverage includes the technicaldevelopments behind rising speeds in a period that saw Formula One-inspiredrear-engine chassis depose Indy’s traditional front-engine roadsters. • Following his 150-mph qualifyinglandmark in 1962, when Rodger Ward won the race, Parnelli Jones claimed victoryin 1963 after holding off an unexpected challenge from rookie Jim Clark. • The 1964 Indy 500 saw A.J. Foyt—writerof this book’s foreword—achieve the last win for a front-engine roadster. • Scotland’s Jim Clark, the pole-sitter in1964, famously achieved the first rear-engine win in 1965 driving for Lotus,while A.J. Foyt’s 161.233 mph in qualifying made him the first pole-winner toexceed 160 mph. • Englishman Graham Hill won in 1966,followed by a third victory for A.J. Foyt in a career total of four. • The 170-mph mark was breached in 1968 whenJoe Leonard’s turbine-equipped Lotus lapped at 171.559 mph in qualifying, butthe win went to the Eagle of Bobby Unser, marking the first victory for theUnser dynasty. • Qualifying speeds dropped back a littlein the next two races, which brought wins for Mario Andretti (1969) and AlUnser (1970), who then won again in 1971. • While Mark Donohue won the 1972 Indy 500in a McLaren, qualifying brought the biggest-ever leap in speeds with BobbyUnser’s 195.940 mph in his Eagle exceeding the previous record by an incredible17 mph, resulting in the 180-mph and 190-mph barriers both being broken in thesame year.

The Mental Load Diaries


‘A reassuring manifesto on the role of women today’ - Dawn O’Porter‘This book - and Cat Sims generally - helps me to breathe a bit easier. My shoulders drop, my jaw relaxes, and I know everything is going to be OK.’ - Bryony GordonThe mental load isn’t just about doing all the stuff. The mental load is constantly thinking about having to do all the stuff, and then, when you forget to do some of the stuff, the mental load is also about beating yourself up about that, while still trying to keep in mind all the other stuff you’ve got to do.The mental load. Emotional labour. The invisible burden – whatever you call it, every woman is familiar with the neverending list of things to do that exists in their head. This noise that plays on a constant loop is impacting the mental health of women everywhere.Writer, content creator, podcaster, wife and mum Cat Sims describes the devastating impact the mental load had on her own happiness, mental health and marriage. After having children, the unequal division of responsibility in her household came into stark relief. Her desperate efforts to be the perfect wife and mother left her mentally, emotionally and physically defeated – ultimately driving her to addiction and a crisis point in her marriage.With eye-opening honesty and her trademark dry humour, Cat tells the story of her relationship with the mental load and, in turn, offers a blunt but ultimately hopeful appraisal of society and women’s experience of it. This necessary book will incite honest conversation, make you feel less alone and give you the confidence to invite your loved ones to share the mental load.

Fearless


A passionless life is no life at all... DalilahI know that I should be happy. I won the lottery at birth. Billionaire parents who are actually nice. Artistic talent that won me worldwide acclaim at the age of 11. Men have always pursued me, and not for my brains. I never wanted anything to do with them, but they always pursued me. I gave it all up. I started to feel like a hack. So now I'm doing anything to feel alive. Or numb the pain of living a life devoid of passion. Drinking, nude modeling, sleeping with random men—you name the poison, and I've gone down that path. That's how I met Blake Nottingham. He's a handsome billionaire who's obsessed with me. He wants to possess me and would do anything to have me. But he's not who I want. Luke Roberts is who I want. He's the one who really makes me feel alive. He's an artist like me. One helluva one at that. But he suffers the same as most people in the arts—nobody knows about his talents. Perhaps I could turn Nottingham's obsession for me into something positive for Luke. I'll just use Nottingham until I get what I want—a successful show for Luke in the hottest gallery in the city. Nottingham can supply this platform, because Nottingham owns said gallery. What could possibly go wron? 'll soon find out. And it's not going to be pretty. This is a full-length, 65,000 word novel. Approximately 200 pages.

Fire Sword and Sea


"In her latest, Riley provides a fresh take on high seas adventure through the eyes of the courageous, swashbuckling, based-on-a-real-life female pirate Jacquotte Delahaye. The research Riley has done on this 1600s saga is truly remarkable, second only to her depictions of the lush Caribbean setting and the diverse, multi-faceted cast of characters. This is one to be savored."  —Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Stolen QueenThe real Pirates of the Caribbean were Black, and women! From Vanessa Riley, acclaimed author of Queen of Exiles, comes a sweeping, immersive saga based on the life of the legendary seventeenth-century pirate Jacquotte Delehaye. The Caribbean Sea, 1675. Jacquotte Delahaye is the mixed-race daughter of a wealthy tavern owner on the island of Tortuga. Instead of marriage, Jacquotte dreams of joining the seafarers and smugglers whose tall-masted ships cluster in the turquoise waters around Tortuga. She falls in love with a pirate, but when he returns to the sea, Jacquotte decides to make her own way. In Haiti she becomes Jacques, a dockworker, earning the respect of those around her while hiding her gender. Jacquotte discovers that secret identities are fairly common in the chaotic world of seafaring, which is full of outsiders and misfits. She forms a deep bond with Bahati, an African-born woman who has escaped slavery and also disguises herself as a man to navigate the world. They join forces with Dirkje De Wulf, a fearless adventurer who also lives as a man at sea. As Jacques, Jacquotte falls in love with Lizzôa d'Erville, a beautiful courtesan who deals in secrets and sex. While others see their work clothes as a disguise, Lizzôa’s true self is as a woman. For the next twenty years, Jacquotte raids the Caribbean, making enemies and amassing a fortune in stolen gold. When her fellow pirates decide to increase their profits by entering the slave trade, Jacquotte turns away from piracy and the pursuit of riches. Risking her life in one deadly skirmish after another, she instead begins to plot a war of liberation.

Revealing


'How do you know when sharing yourself is a priceless gift, and when it is an unwelcome burden? Revealing will show you how to answer this question. Essential for work, romance and family' Kim Scott'Witty, warm, and grounded in science ... an indispensable guide' Katy MilkmanOur goal should not be to eliminate vulnerability, but to harness its power. This is a roadmap for figuring out how. We know the gut-wrenching feeling: that post-conversation replay, cringing at how much we just revealed. We live in fear of saying too much, so we keep quiet, guard our emotions and lock away our most personal thoughts. But what if we’ve been worrying about the wrong thin? growing body of research shows we vastly underestimate the value of oversharing, with our spouses, friends, colleagues and even strangers. Vulnerability and openness can unlock some of life’s richest rewards: deeper friendships, stronger professional relationships, greater well-being and, yes, even love. Drawing on over a decade of research and real-life stories, here behavioural scientist Leslie John explores why we hesitate to open up, when sharing really does backfire, and how to strike a balance between too much and too little. Revealing empowers us to make smarter, bolder and more satisfying decisions about just how much we want to share and why.

The Original Petit Etteilla


Learn foundational methods of divination from the Father of Cartomancy• Provides the first English edition of Etteilla’s seminal text, an Etteilla deck, and a tutorial on how to make your own deck• Offers eight main spreads along with variations, devised by Etteilla, and accompanying commentary and case studies• Shares how Etteilla’s 1770 method set the standard for most European cartomantic divination, influencing the development of both cartomancy and tarotEtteilla is the pseudonym of Jean Baptiste Alliette, known to divination devotees as the Father of Cartomancy. His 1770 manual, revised in 1773 under the title La Seule Maniere de Tirer Les Cartes, was the first book on how to divine from playing cards, and it remains the basis for many cartomantic decks and tarots today. Now, for the first time, Etteilla’s manual is available in English. This deck and guidebook gives readers a set of Petit Etteilla cards and a fully annotated translation of his text. The book explores how Etteilla’s deck and interpretive methods serve as the foundation for decks to follow, including the Lenormand and Rider-Waite-Smith decks. Readers will learn each card’s meaning (both upright and reversed) and the significance of each card’s placement in a spread. In Etteilla's system, each card’s meaning and associated words are printed on the card, allowing readers the freedom to use intuition instead of memorizing the meaning of each card. The result is an innovative system that offers a highly personalized method for readings. Readers will also learn how to make their own decks to further personalize their connection with Etteilla's method. This book offers eight spreads devised by Etteilla, with variations of each, along with commentary, case studies, and practices to enrich your understanding.
