Paperback. Condizione: New. Every person has a story. Each has their own impressions of life and expressions of how they tell their story - mine is through poetry. In every experience may it be about the weather, a lesson learnt, a prayer or just a thought - I jot it down. I then put the words together - somehow they connect until it becomes a full story to tell. I usually write at night or at dawn - which explains the moon, the stars and wishing wells and the love of art of any form. Poetry is a hobby and I'm still learning the ropes of writing - learning to put words together like a proper writer should. The aspirations, inspirations and moments of each day - I learn.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Ecology and economics share a common root: the Greek word oikos, meaning a house. Ecology is the way the natural world manages its house. Economics is the way society manages its house. The contentions of this book are that the natural world is the best guide to our economic activities, that supply and demand are insufficient determinants, that profit and loss are not alternatives, that wealth cannot be created but can be lost. Ecological economics is a term that has been coined to encapsulate these ideas. We can stop throwing away food before and after it gets to the table. We can learn to deal with our pollution. We can stop wasting our resources. We must look again at our priorities. We're in a race against time. Perhaps there's not time enough, but it's in everyone's interest to try. If we keep our activities on a human scale, maybe the passengers can regain control of the runaway train.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. In this experimental dream-poem a famous European cathedral literally takes off and travels - as in a Japanese animated film - calling in at the Sargasso Sea, then the West Mariana Ridge in the western Pacific, and on to the Transantarctic Mountains. On board are a small band of people who happen to be in the cathedral when she takes off, led by a young and bemused cathedral canon. The East Anglian Fenland - especially as it was in early medieval times - lies deep within the cathedral's sense of herself and her people as she travels the globe. But she isn't all local memory; her twenty-first-century almost-silent Octagon engyn powers her and her crew on a tour through geological and historic time.In her newfound freedom the cathedral gets up close and personal with Archean grey gneiss, discovers eel leptocephali, finds magical ancient plants in her own transept, and welcomes a stowaway cat called Mrs Chippy. Drawing on many sources of inspiration, including Geoffrey Chaucer's The House of Fame, this poem is surreal, intricate and sometimes comic.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. These poems deal with some ordinary and not so ordinary facets of a rich life, and they will appeal to those who enjoy words and value the ways in which they can help us to experience life with a greater intensity. Snails creep slowly from one place to another, leaving sticky trails which are very hard to wipe away. In the same way, words lay down a trail, and it's often only years later that we can make sense of the trail they have left. Michel Foucault was the writer who inspired the author to come to terms with the capacity of language to deceive as well as to define, instruct and enlighten, and so, in a way, this book is a tribute to him.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. What do you think of when anyone mentions to you the words "Dick Whittington"? For most people, maybe the first words that spring to mind might be "cat", "mayor", or "pantomime" .However, there is more to this fellow than meets the eye. You see, Dick Whittington was real. He existed.Born in the 1350s, he grew up to be a wealthy businessman, using his wealth to pay for public projects. He was a Councilman for London, Alderman and Sheriff of the City of London (but not all at the same time!). He was a friend of kings and mayor of London, no less than 4 times - and, as regards the pantomime, this was first performed around 1814 and continues as a firm favourite amongst pantomime goers to this day!Now, in this delightful little book, Eileen Fry describes some less well known facts about this most charismatic character from history . Many of the places associated with him can still be visited today, including St Michael Paternoster Church in London, where he is buried (though the exact burial site itself is not known). …

They follow him through the city, bumping into more friends. After losing him on a hot air balloon they think of a way to find him again and then track him back to his house.
