BOOK EXCERPT:
A collection of mindful, intelligent stories by a group of authors as diverse as their story telling. Some of us are family; we're all friends. Some of us were at school together in the 1960s, or were house-mates in the 1970s. Some of us only know each other online. Our ages range from the early twenties to the early eighties. Most of us are native English speakers, but Grace's mother-tongue is Hindi, Lovie's is Icelandic, Marko's is Croatian, and Meryem's is French. We all wrote in English apart from Meryem, whose story Clive translated with her approval. Please enjoy reading as much as we enjoyed writing.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Should we assume that people who lived some time ago were quite similar to us or should we assume that they need to be thought of as alien beings with whom we have little in common? This specially commissioned collection explores this important issue through an analysis of the lives and work of a number of significant early modern writers. Shakespeare is analysed in a number of essays as authors ask whether we can learn anything about his life from reading the Sonnets and Hamlet. Other essays explore the first substantial autobiography in English, that of the musician and poet, Thomas Wythorne (1528-96); the representation of the self in Holbein’s great painting, The Ambassadors; whether we have a window into men's and women's souls when we read their intimate personal correspondence; and whether modern studies that wish to recapture the intentions and inner thoughts of early modern people who left writings behind are valuable aids to interpreting the past. This book was originally published as a special issue of Textual Practice.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Great Poets A true poet doesnt need a higher education; theyre just born with it, within their soul. It is truly a gift from above, to be able to speak passionately with words. Its a gift like a singer. A true singer doesnt need lessons, because God kissed their pipes, the true Creator of all gifts big and small. A true poet knows from a very small child, how they began to play with words instead of toys. They noticed how they could make words do almost anything like numbers. But if you are studying to become a great poet, you must dig deep inside yourself, separate your mind from your body. You must be a dreamer or a person with visions, able to see a face inside of the moon or something. You have to be a person who wants to make a change in the world, or just want to be heard. You must not be afraid to express your views on life or what other might say or think. Your thoughts can influence someones life in a major way. You could change someones path forever. Your poetry will make a difference if you put your mind, your soul, your heart, into it.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Work and family concerns are increasingly on the radar of colleges and universities. These concerns emerge out of workplace norms suggesting that for employees and students to be successful, they must be “ideal workers”. This volume explores work norms in higher education, focusing on the ways that employees and students interpret and experience ideal worker expectations in light of family responsibilities. Chapters address how the ideal worker norms vary for tenured and non-tenure track faculty, administrators, undergraduate and graduate students, and offers recommendations for modifying work norms to promote work-family balance for all constituents. This is the 176th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Higher Education. Addressed to presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other higher education decision makers on all kinds of campuses, it provides timely information and authoritative advice about major issues and administrative problems confronting every institution.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2024-006/ Despite well-developed welfare systems in the Nordic countries, poverty is a growing problem. More Nordic citizens face economic vulnerability today than ten years ago, and in several of the Nordic countries the gap between rich and poor has increased. The growing number of children living in poverty is particularly serious, as is the fact that many pensioners, especially women, are living in economic hardship. It is therefore necessary to consider all stages of life in order to more effectively tackle poverty. This knowledge base describes economic vulnerability through all phases of life and shows the conditions of different groups. It also addresses economic violence in different forms, the consequences for victims and the need for support structures The report has been produced by Nordic Information on Gender (NIKK) a co-operative body under the Nordic Council of Ministers.
