    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Tank Warfare Illustrated Atlas is a highly illustrated and accessible account of the development of tank warfare, from World War I to the present day. Featuring more than 120 complex computer-generated battle maps and graphics, the book ranges from the first significant use of tanks at Cambrai during World War I through to major tank battles of World War II, the Indo-Pakistan War, the Arab-Israeli Wars, the Iran?Iraq War, the Allied invasions of Iraq in 1991 and 2003, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. All the maps have been specially commissioned from an expert cartographer. Each map has been designed to highlight a particular aspect of combat and so they vary in shape and size ? from isometric to semi-circular and full-page to double-spread ? and in outlook, with some maps giving a global perspective while others take a narrow focus. Major battles such as Villers-Bretonneux, Amiens, Kursk and the Golan Heights are shown in great detail. All maps are accompanied by a key, which helps the reader to understand the action and events. With extensively researched text telling the history and the stories behind these battles concisely and clearly and more than 150 striking illustrations and photographs, the Tank Warfare Illustrated Atlas provides an invaluable work of reference for both the general reader and the serious student of tank warfare. Spectacular battle maps bring every tank battle to life Spans from World War I to the present day Illustrated with more than 120 maps and 150 photographs

    Book SynopsisThis is an exploration of the lives and works of Christian saints and their place in today's church, shown in 200 images. This is a fascinating history of saints and sainthood, and their role within Christianity and the Catholic Church. It explores the religious significance of sainthood, the process of canonisation, and the mysteries and miracles that are attributed to the saints. It looks at patron saints, hero and warrior saints, as well as apostles and martyrs. Special sections are included on the most enduring and popular saints, prayed to and called upon throughout the world, such as Mary the Virgin, James the Great, St Christopher, Francis of Assisi, Joan of Arc and Theresa of Liseux. It is sumptuously illustrated with beautiful works of art and iconography that have inspired believers down the centuries. This beautiful book chronicles the mysterious history of sainthood, unravelling the myths and addressing such issues as martyrdom, relics, patronage and canonisation. It discusses what a saint is and explains the selection and confirmation process, and covers subjects such as feast days, pilgrimage, and how sainthood is depicted in art. Themed spreads throughout the book provide lists of patron saints and feast days, and discuss in more detail areas such as The Holy Family, Celtic Saints, Warrior Saints, Saintly Popes and the Incorruptibles. The final chapter contains in-depth studies of some of the world's most called-upon and best-loved saints, including Mary the Mother of God, John the Baptist and James the Great, Francis of Assisi and more. A valuable reference book, this expert guide will inform every reader interested in discovering more about Christianity and the company of saints.

  • Writing Well: Creative Writing and Mental Health

    Jessica Kingsley Publishers Writing Well: Creative Writing and Mental Health

    3 in stock

    Book SynopsisWriting Well is a practical handbook of creative writing exercises which forms the basis of an indirect, nonconfrontational approach specifically intended for therapeutic use within the mental health field. Although people with emotional or psychological problems can find creative writing particularly difficult and unsettling, when writing courses are sensitively designed they are known to be of therapeutic benefit to people with mental health problems. The exercises are taken from the authors' successful practice with groups of people from a range of backgrounds in a variety of settings.The book is structured to be accessible and easy to use. The warm-ups and main exercises are organised by themes, such as positive memories, imagined worlds, changes and painful feelings. Guidelines are given for developing and adapting the exercises and practical suggestions for materials are included in the appendix. This volume will be an invaluable practical resource and imaginative inspiration for creative writing tutors and mental health professionals.Trade Review...a valuable resource for those wanting to use creative writing in groupwork. Every chapter provides a wealth of different exercises. Each exercise lists the materials needed and gives a recommended warm-up exercise as well as possible prompt questions to ease discussion following the period of writing. The book therefore provides a clear framework for running creative writing groups. The exercises provide a useful primer and can be adapted to suit a wide range of needs. The appendices are equally useful with one on how to devise your own exercises, another providing a list and outline of useful books, and a third giving a comprehensive list of useful organisations. The book offers a practical resource and many of the exercises contained in this slim, well-organised volume appear to be original and are likely to prompt many creative activities. -- British Journal of Occupational TherapyThere are several good creative writing handbooks on the market at the moment but, as any therapist running groups on the subject in mental health settings will know, they generally just miss the mark, being too skill-based on the one hand or too process orientated on the other. This slim new volume goes some way to closing the gap. What the busy therapist might most appreciate is the resource aspect of the book. It is full of ideas - recommended warm-up activities for each writing session, along with useful commentaries on how to take creative ideas further. Writing Well clearly meets a need and will prove a welcome addition to every therapy department bookshelf. -- Therapy WeeklyTable of ContentsForeword. 1. Introduction. 2. Warm-Up Exercises. 3.

  • A Scots Dictionary of Nature

    Saraband A Scots Dictionary of Nature

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisScotland is a nation of dramatic weather and breathtaking landscapes - of nature resplendent. And, over the centuries, the people who have lived, explored and thrived in this country have developed a rich language to describe their surroundings: a uniquely Scottish lexicon shaped by the very environment itself. A Scots Dictionary of Nature brings together - for the first time - the deeply expressive vocabulary customarily used to describe land, wood, weather, birds, water and walking in Scotland. Artist Amanda Thomson collates and celebrates these traditional Scots words, which reveal ways of seeing and being in the world that are in danger of disappearing forever. What emerges is a vivid evocation of the nature and people of Scotland, past and present; of lives lived between the mountains and the sky.Trade Review"Delightful ... A celebration of Scotland's great outdoors, this is a lovely book to have on the coffee table. Easy to read and interesting to rifle through." Scottish Field; "So good." Robert Macfarlane; "Full of words and expressions which ...[are] ripe for reappropriation." Scotsman; "A reminder of how easily the beauty of language and its connection with nature can be lost." Herald; "A stunning wee book detailing some of the wonderfully inventive Scots words that document the world around us." The List; "...a delight to leaf through" Herald
