Crisis Actor
‘Who knew that writing with this degree of care and pain and tact was still possible? For my money it’s the best first volume in decades, I would say since Tom Paulin’s A State of Justice (1977): no dead weight, foot-perfect and engaging.’ Michael Hofmann, Times Literary Supplement, Books of the Year
Crisis Actor chronicles various failures and farewells. It is peopled by faded heroes and deferential devotees; a hanged donkey, a bloated rat; solitary bachelors and disillusioned youths – these are the watchers, not the players. The poems are awash with rueful self-accusation and laconic scepticism. There are touching elegies, reportage and bruised, wary replayings. A blistering sequence about boxers and their fates weaves through the collection. The overwhelming sense is of life going on elsewhere, the halcyon days and brightest of years long past. This is the aftermath of being one who – in Matthew Arnold’s words – ‘has reached his utmost limits and finds . . . himself far less than he had imagined himself’.
But there are still flashes of camaraderie, of stars aligning: lunchtimes in sunlit garden squares, languorous pub afternoons, cheering on and hard-won triumphs. These precious, precarious moments point to how we might reclaim potential, discover human connection in times of defeat or despair, and reach towards grace and redemption.
‘Elegant and heartaching, these poems illuminate the sorrows of life with a bright flame, returning us to that miraculous human capacity for love and faith even in our darkest days.’ Liz Berry
‘Declan Ryan reveals himself a master of both the telling detail and of narrative suspense. Each exquisitely orchestrated vignette delivers a punch worthy of the heroes of the ring here commemorated.’ Mark Ford

On the Road to Victory: The Rise of Motor Transport with the BEF on the Western Front
The story of a revolution in moving troops and supplies: “A rare gem that will fill a gap in your World War I library. Highly recommended.” —Indy Squadron DispatchThe Great War produced many innovations, in particular the spectacular development by the British and French armies of motor transport.
The age-old problem of moving soldiers and their supplies was no different in 1914 than it had been some 2,400 years ago, when the great Chinese military thinker Sun Tzu informed his readers that the further an army marched into enemy territory, the more the cost of transport increased, even to the point that more supplies were consumed by the transportation of men and their horses than was delivered to the troops.
Using many previously unpublished illustrations, including artists’ impressions, this book tells the story of the men and women who made motor transport work for the victorious British Army on the Western Front, so that in 1918, the humble lorry did indeed help propel the British Army forward on the road to victory.

Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits: The Real Bible of Technical Analysis
Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits, is a worthy addition to any technical analyst’s personal library or any market library. His “pioneering research” represents one of the finest works ever produced on technical analysis, and this book remains an example of the highest order of analytical quality and incisive trading wisdom. Originally devised as a practical course for investors, it is as alive, vital and instructional today as the day it was written. It paved the way for Robert Edwards and John Magee’s best-selling Technical Analysis of Stock Trends – a debt which is acknowledged in their foreword: ‘Part One is based in large part on the pioneer researches and writings of the late Richard Schabacker.’ Schabacker presents technical analysis as a totally organized subject and comprehensively lays out the various important patterns, formations, trends, support and resistance areas, and associated supporting technical detail. He presents factors that can be confidently relied on, and gives equal attention to the blemishes and weaknesses that can upset the best of analytical forecasts. Factors which investors would do well to absorb and apply when undertaking the fascinating game of price, time and volume analysis.Read more

A-Minute-A-Day Mental Maths 3rd Edition [UK}: 42 Photocopiable One Minute Challenges to Improve Mental Maths Skills
A-MINUTE-A-DAY is a series of three *precision- teaching based books, [Phonics. Mental Maths and High Frequency Words], which aim to improve basic reading and mental maths skills, in a challenging yet fun way. The books contain photocopiable games, each one focusing upon a specific group of letters, words or numbers. The aim of each game is for the child to give 30 correct verbal responses within 1 minute. NO WRITING SKILLS ARE REQUIRED. The games may be used by a teacher or parent to provide intensive practice in specific areas. Each page may be used repeatedly by the child for practice both in school and at home, and progress assessed by the teacher in just A-MINUTE-A-DAY. This approach has at its roots, a method known as *precision- teaching, which, since its inception in 1964, has been adopted by an ever increasing number of teachers, and its proven success in both mainstream and special needs education is indisputable. The value of precision- teaching lies in identifying a specific area of need for a particular child, followed by a daily period of teaching, testing and evaluating progress. Normally, this process would take around 10-15 minutes of completely undivided attention for a particular child. Whilst this can be considered a short enough period to offer any child, for a teacher without ancillary support and with multiple children requiring similar help, it can often be impossible to achieve. A-MINUTE-A-DAY offers a new methodology, which, by engaging parents as partners, enables teachers to offer their pupils tailored, systematic practice and monitoring of progress on a daily basis, whilst drastically reducing the amount of teacher involvement, ie it is a TEACHER TIMESAVER. Included at the end of each book are three content free games, which may be used by the teacher to create additional questions to suit an individual child, or to offer a game with high repetition for children who learn at a slower rate.Read more

Bet Smart: The Kelly System for Gambling and Investing
In 1956, a physicist named John Kelly working at Bell Labs published a
paper titled A New Interpretation of Information Rate. In the paper
he draws an analogy between the outcomes of a gambling game and the
transmission of symbols over a communications channel. For a positive
expectation game, Kelly showed that a betting system based on a fixed
fraction of the bankroll can make the bankroll grow at an exponential
rate in the long run. The exponential growth rate in this case is
directly analogous to the rate of information transmission through a
communications channel.This book examines the Kelly system in detail. Applications of the
Kelly system in both gambling and investing are considered. Python
code for calculating the Kelly fractions for both a single stock
investment and an investment in two stocks simultaneously is
included.Included is an introductory review chapter on the probability theory
needed to analyze gambling systems in general. There is also a chapter
on some of the more commonly used gambling systems such as the
Martingale system.This book will be useful for anyone interested in a good mathematical
introduction to gambling systems in general, and the Kelly system in
particular.Read more

Medical Bondage: Race, Gender, and the Origins of American Gynecology
The accomplishments of pioneering doctors such as John Peter Mettauer, James Marion Sims, and Nathan Bozeman are well documented. It is also no secret that these nineteenth-century gynecologists performed experimental caesarean sections, ovariotomies, and obstetric fistulae repairs primarily on poor and powerless women. Medical Bondage breaks new ground by exploring how and why physicians denied these women their full humanity yet valued them as “medical superbodies” highly suited for medical experimentation.
In Medical Bondage, Cooper Owens examines a wide range of scientific literature and less formal communications in which gynecologists created and disseminated medical fictions about their patients, such as their belief that black enslaved women could withstand pain better than white “ladies.” Even as they were advancing medicine, these doctors were legitimizing, for decades to come, groundless theories related to whiteness and blackness, men and women, and the inferiority of other races or nationalities.
Medical Bondage moves between southern plantations and northern urban centers to reveal how nineteenth-century American ideas about race, health, and status influenced doctor-patient relationships in sites of healing like slave cabins, medical colleges, and hospitals. It also retells the story of black enslaved women and of Irish immigrant women from the perspective of these exploited groups and thus restores for us a picture of their lives.
