Conversations With My Dog - Hannah Gold - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Conversations With My Dog - Hannah Gold - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Conversations with My Dog by Hannah Gold is a tale for those who love to seek new adventures and the promise of following their dreams, or nose, into the unknown. In a fast-paced world, driven by material achievement and the fear of loss; clarity can seem hard to find. Sometimes answers can come from the most surprising sources. When the author found herself confronted with challenges, she discovered, to her surprise, that wisdom came not from a philosophical master or spiritual guide, but her puppy named Monty. On the road with him, she learns to stop and ask him questions. He answers her through demonstrating the values of simplicity, fun and love of exploration. This description of the conversations that developed between them is a tale about rediscovering direction in life. It gives a light-hearted, gently thought-provoking account of the bigger journey of working out how to live. The search for the way ahead is the metaphor that illustrates the eternal bond of loyalty between a dog and its humanand makes this tale transcend normal conversation. 'Even when we are in small bodies, we have big spirits.' Writes Hannah Gold, relaying the replies of her wise four-legged friend, to her questions about life. 'The very young always know why they are here. Because they haven't forgotten. Sometimes life muddles things up with too many thoughts. But the heart is ageless.'Hannah's illustrations were created from sketches she made of Monty on their travels. These drawings provide a visual tapestry, depicting their journey together to inspire readers in finding their own path. Conversations with My Dog is an ideal companion for people considering significant change or embarking on a new direction, however uncertain, or even just searching for a little extra companionship and inspiration.

The likes of Chris Barber (band leader and trombonist), John Critchinson (Ronnie Scott’s pianist), Paul Jones (the singer in Manfred Mann), Don Rendell (John Dankworth’s tenor saxophonist), Wally Houser (Ronnie’s Club solicitor), Harold Pendleton (The Marquee Club owner/Reading & Leeds Festival founder).

Telling the story of the birth of British modern jazz. Providing an entire chapter on the London jazz clubs that are no more. Illustrating the early negotiations in New York that led to the touring in the US of British jazz groups, and the return of Americans to the UK during the MU/AFM trade dispute.

The Quintessential English Eccentric: ROBERT OAKESHOTT - Kevin Shillington - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

The Quintessential English Eccentric: ROBERT OAKESHOTT - Kevin Shillington - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Robert Oakeshott was of a man of humorous eccentricity and intoxicating discourse, a man of many lives. As an Oxford undergraduate in 1956 he hitch-hiked into Budapest at the height of the student-led revolution, carrying nothing but moral support and a suitcase of penicillin. Then foreign correspondent for the Financial Times, key development officer in Zambia at the time of independence, alternative educationist in Botswana. He founded a think tank in the UK to promote justice and fairness in the workplace through employee ownership, an economic model that he took to Eastern Europe in the 1990s. Simultaneously, he was a generous philanthropist who played a leading role in the founding of pioneering charities.

Planning For Good Or Ill - Clive Brook - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Planning For Good Or Ill - Clive Brook - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Planning is good for us all!This bold statement neatly summarises the core theme of this new book, which reviews the origins, evolution and operation of the modern UK Town and Country Planning system. The author provides a personal, and at times passionate, case for the many benefits which this system provides. This view runs contrary to those of many politicians and members of the public. Now and into the future planning must play a central role in delivering solutions to the three interlocking challenges of climate change, environmental loss and our individual and collective health and wellbeing. These are all key issues at the very heart of sustainable development. The author uses his 55 years’ experience as a leading planner in local government and consultancy to demonstrate the centrality of quality planning to all our lives. This book will appeal to those engaged in the built and natural environment professions, politicians and decision-makers, students and engaged members of the public.

The Ego Has landed - Andrew B Morris - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

The Ego Has landed - Andrew B Morris - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Andrew has lived a full and occasionally adventurous life, kept on track by his loving and clear-thinking wife, Jennifer. He’s a family man and creative entrepreneur, constantly searching for simple solutions to often complex problems. His ‘grasshopper’ brain finds focusing on a single issue a challenge, which is why this book, written in his rather chaotic, speedy style, is somewhat of an achievement. The Ego Has Landed is a product of reaching an important milestone and recognising that life is not infinite, and that, perhaps, family generations to come may find his story insightful and of historical interest. Funny, irreverent, critical and controversial, Andrew reflects and looks back on his experiences with the view that “Life is NOT a journey to the grave with the goal of arriving in a prettily preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways in a shower of party shards, thoroughly used, utterly exhausted, and loudly proclaiming: Fuck ME, that was BRILLIANT!” This book is dedicated to the 250,000 people suffering in the UK today from the physically debilitating disease, M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), and the consequent impact on their wellbeing and mental health. We live in hope that some day the scientists and medical professionals will find a cure.

THE INVISIBLE PARENT - Anonymous - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

THE INVISIBLE PARENT - Anonymous - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

What happens when the very same system designed to protect children fails? That's exactly what is happening right now in the UK family courts in cases of Parental Alienation, a form of post-divorce abuse. Cafcass define Parental Alienation as 'when a child's resistance or hostility towards one parent is not justified and is the result of psychological manipulation by the other parent'; yet experts, therapists and social workers are not trained to assess or deal with cases involving Parental Alienation. I spent years making my case to judges, experts and lawyers, all of whom failed to agree on what was actually happening between my ex-wife, my kids and myself. At the time it seemed like I was constantly trying to prove a negative, to find a new direction to reach my kids, and while all were promising, all ended in expensive dead ends as my ex-wife pursued her agenda. If I had to sum up the experience of trying to prove Parental Alienation in the courts, I would describe it as being trapped in the backseat of a car while it crashes in slow motion. The system is not fit for purpose. The family courts are slow and busy, burdened by the backlog of cases. Once you do get a hearing, they are often set months away and even then, traditional safeguarding assessments fail to detect Parental Alienation. The longer the child is away from a parent, the harder it is to stop the alienation, and the longer the issue remains unaddressed, the risk of the children suffering mental health and behavioural problems increases. Alienated parents also often display signs of post-traumatic stress: paranoia, anxiety and in some cases are suicidal. It is my hope that this book will not only draw attention to the potential injustice in cases of Parental Alienation and the need for meaningful reform to prevent further irreparable damage, but that it will help a parent going through a family separation spot signs before it's too late. About the author: The author is a successful businessman, loving father and victim of parental alienation. The author has used a ghost writer to validate his story. The characters have been anonymised to both protect their privacy and lift the veil on the inner workings of the family court, which the author believes is in the public interest of protecting children from harm.

Fairness Morality Simplicity - Martin Earley - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Fairness Morality Simplicity - Martin Earley - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

This is not a work of sociology; it is not based on polling of people's changing views; it is not a sub-Hayekian/Rawlsian analysis of the constitution; it is not a relation of the extended Marxist family; and it does not apply evolutionary perspectives. It has a Christian, often a Judeo-Christian, refrain but it is not harking back to a different era. It values the judgements and experience of the man and woman in the streets where most struggling households live; the role of 'experts' is considered alongside these. The issue of terminating life prematurely is emphasised as a profound moral consideration, which economic considerations alone cannot resolve, and is prior to consideration of the quality of our lives, fairness and redistribution. It is a plea for simplicity so that the ordinary citizen can comprehend proposals, an important form of fairness. It flows from a fundamental objection to the unfairness of the prevailing political economic Zeitgeist of globalisation, a policy fully supported by the governing elites throughout Britain, the rest of Europe, and the United States. This policy has consciously increased inequality to the benefit of the elites and justified this by the purported benefits for all classes in society. The objections of the lesser-educated, lower-earning, under-skilled workers have been discounted as arising from 'populism', which often seems to mean holding uneducated, prejudiced and intemperate opinions, a 'racist' nationalism, and a lack of appreciation of the benefits of globalisation for all including those non-compliant. This further corrodes relations with our political government which have become permeated by a profound distrust, one product of which was the Brexit breakout that the ruling groups attempted to thwart at great cost to their democratic legitimacy. UK citizens perceive ambiguity and dissembling as systematic and deliberate misrepresentation. Party politicians routinely mislead for party advantage, clothed in the rhetoric of beneficence and a more generous offering than the other parties. This fiscal dishonesty follows from their priority for the most effective presentation of vote-winning promises, rather than responsible policies, which have slipped the mooring of transparently balanced budgets. It cannot be readily fitted into the Left Wing or Right Wing categories that assist academic and commentariat simplifications.

Into The Whispering Wild - Hannah Dawn Gold - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Into The Whispering Wild - Hannah Dawn Gold - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Sometimes when things should be straightforward, they're just not. When Hannah sets out to move house, the process falls apart repeatedly, facing her with a stark question what does she really want? The prospect of homelessness is a looming reality that brings a lifetime's worth of fears to the fore. Yet behind it all, is the constant, subtle sense of an indefinable 'something' important, lost but almost within reach. The wild world is whispering and asking What if there's a better way? Her conversation with the wild begins. With a young puppy and an inexplicable sense of hope and opportunity, she returns eventually to the one place to which she has always felt connected, the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Maybe the place will bring her home. The death of her mother adds further turmoil and grief. Seeking refuge in a caravan with her dog, she turns to the wild for clarity. There on the Lizard, on the South-West coast, in the magical landscape that called to her and spoke of home, she rediscovers the power of the wild and our ancient relationship with it. Hannah embarks upon an unexpected journey of reclaiming the inner self she had almost forgotten. Amid winter storms and soft sea mists, through every nuance of the seasons, she immerses herself in the wild and it shows the way back to an ancestral awareness of the inner nomad and settler within us all. Into the Whispering Wild is a true story, a raw but hopeful account of how our relationship with the wild is vital to our inner strength and ability to navigate life’s changes. Powerful yet gentle, this honest account of one woman’s journey into the meaning of home is a life-affirming tale of love, hope and determination. It urges us to rejoice in the healing power of our vital bond with the wild world.

Those Flat Share Girls (Oh, How They Laughed) - Stuart Duncan - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Those Flat Share Girls (Oh, How They Laughed) - Stuart Duncan - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

Those Flat Share Girls is a collection of light verse, written in easy to read rhyming couplets, containing an old man's recollections of his young life in London in the 1960s. It begins in January 1960, when he bids his school goodbye with the thought that:I knew I'd never use again A logarithm or a sine But the trappings of a cultured mind I knew exactly where to find. And, not long after this, while strolling to a local coffee bar, he and a friend sense that: There was a fire about to burnAnd of that flame we had both caught a spark. That warm summer's evening in Grovelands Park. And so, life moves forward through the years with the usual parties and musical delights of the superb jazz bands to be found performing in the back rooms of pubs for twopence ha'penny and the emerging electric bands who would sell black rhythm and blues back to the USA. Unfortunately, he misses most of this scene's excitement because: Far from the fuss and ballyhoo I was on my way to KathmanduOn what became known as the Hippie Trail. Then onwards to a couple of years in Australia as a roustabout 'swagman'. A few further adventures follow, an attempt to walk the Pennine Way amongst them; and there are several unconsummated romances along the way until he eventually finds himself 'complete' in the comforting arms of a loving wife. And finally, back in a local park, an old man minding a friend's dog. He sits observing the changed world of 2022, sixty odd years after he sensed a fire about to burn and ponders contentedly: There really is no better place To see first-hand the changing face Of our noble, ancient 'Island Race' Than in a local park on a Sunday morn ...

SPLINTERED - Lizzy Elliott - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

SPLINTERED - Lizzy Elliott - Bog - Brown Dog Books - Plusbog.dk

This psychological thriller seeps out of the bones of a fictional family saga. Whisking you, over many decades, to the darkest sides of nature where malevolent forces hide. Back street abortions, dubious adoptions and the wrath of the Nazis are all silhouetted against the atrocities of the Japanese internment camps. The central characters are Berenice and William, daughter and father. All of the characters' frequently unstable emotional states often dissolve their sense of reality. At differing times, they will all be placed at great risk. In fleeing these risks, what the reader finds inside these characters' heads, will be layered according to what is inside theirs.
