Before moving to North Wales in 2003, Tom Wood had been photographing the people of his Liverpool neighbourhood for almost three decades. In these two volumes, Wood displays carefully edited photographs taken from his archives filled with artistic chronicles of the lives of men and women. Even though the pictures are not presented in a chronological order, Men and Women ends up being a book saturated with history, showing Liverpool in transition from its industrial past. Never seen without his camera, and constantly moving between different formats and photographic styles, colour and black and white, the Photie Man (as Wood became known locally and as his last book with Steidl was titled) readily mixes images of strangers with portraits of family and friends.

Professional diver Will Sturman and brilliant and beautiful oceanographer Valerie Martell must stop a school of voracious sea creatures before they devastate the world's oceans.

One of the UK’s most distinctive areas of arts practice is theatre for young audiences. This edited collection gathers together new and original work on the topics, practices and critical perspectives which characterize theatre for the young. It features chapters on theatre and ownership, active spectatorship and audience interaction. Others focus on specific audiences such as children and young people with profound disabilities or nonverbal audiences. A chapter looks at creative methods such as using “child’s play” to create plays for children; another considers how to develop our understanding about children’s perception of theatre created for them through interviewing them and studying their drawings. Other chapters discuss how to connect teenagers with Shakespeare’s work; how theatre can engage with children in a globalized multicultural society; the current status of Theatre in Education in the UK; and the work staged by the National Theatre for young audiences.

This wide range of topics will appeal to academics, students and theatre practitioners working within the growing field of theatre for the young. For educators interested in the benefits of school-related theatre visits and the young audiences’ engagement with performances created specifically for them, this book is a rich source of information.

The contributors include Gill Brigg, David Broster, Dominic Hingorani, Jeanne Klein Geoffrey Readman, James Reynolds, Matthew Reason, Peter Wynne-Willson, Jan Wozniak and Oily Cart’s Tim Webb.

Il percorso espositivo, che presenta opere di molti dei più brillanti e raffinati artisti contemporanei, si apre con i riferimenti alla lezione di Rory McEwen, Margaret Mee e Margaret Stones, che alla metà del '900 seppero indicare la modernità della pittura botanica in termini di sensibilità artistica e descrizione scientifica. Seguono poi oltre 150 opere che testimoniano l'ampia gamma descrittiva e interpretativa con cui gli artisti riescono a restituire la complessità del mondo naturale: opere provenienti dalla collezione londinese di Shirley Sherwood, la più importante e prestigiosa raccolta di autori contemporanei, oltre ad un nucleo di opere di artisti brasiliani e un'ampia panoramica di artisti italiani. Il percorso si conclude con alcuni protagonisti della scena artistica contemporanea che hanno rivolto al tema una significativa attenzione. Dalle attente meditazioni sulle tecniche e sui maestri dei secoli passati, alle coraggiose sperimentazioni grafiche e materiche che uniscono dipinti e tempere a fotografie, collage, video e istallazioni, sarà così proposto un viaggio di suggestioni ed emozioni in uno splendido giardino di arte e di scienza.

Many ministry leaders serving in churches find themselves overwhelmed, disillusioned, and depressed by the enormous and challenging task of leading and serving others. When leaders aren't healthy, the result is often an unhealthy church. Leaders need someone to shepherd their soul so that they can then lead others to the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Every church leader---from fulltime ministers to volunteer leaders---needs a Gospel Coach who will come alongside them with words drawn from Scripture and godly wisdom, grounded in the gracious saving work of Jesus Christ, and presented in the context of a trusting relationship. Gospel coaching is an intentional relationship of skillful caring for others based on four ancient shepherding principles: 1) Know the sheep 2) Feed the sheep 3) Lead the sheep 4) Protect the sheep Gospel coaches inquire about the personal, spiritual, and missional aspects of a leader's life in a loving yet focused manner, probing the heart for compulsive unbelief or selfish motivation, disobedience, and sin, leading them back to the Gospel through belief, repentance, and obedience.

A fully illustrated history of bespoke tailoring—the custom-made men's clothing that made a small London street a globally known brand to generations of sartorial connoisseurs. Savile Row is renowned for fine custom tailoring—'bespoke' in its own parlance. The term originated when cloth for a suit was said to 'be spoken for' by customers who have included generations of stylish and tasteful men, from rakes to royals. Bespoke is the epitome of male sartorial style, exquisite quality, and craftsmanship, and has been worn by a veritable who's who of famous and important men: Winston Churchill, Cary Grant, Russell Crowe, David Beckham, and countless world leaders. Bespoke charts Savile Row's contribution to fashion and culture chronologically and features twenty-six profiles of today's master tailors from historic firms such as Gieves & Hawkes and Henry Poole to more recent ones like Nutters and Ozwald Boateng, who was the first Savile Row tailor to stage a catwalk show in Paris.
