A Conversation of Trees

A Conversation of Trees

Tim Bragg

Sycamore Publishing Ltd
2020
nidottu
'A Conversation of Trees' is a collection of poetry that indeed includes a conversation of Oak Trees as they witness the passing of English history. There are many nature poems and some humorous verse touching on the macabre. There is often the sense and feeling of the thinness of the veil between this world and the next. Many of the poems are highly spiritual. There is mostly a real sense of hope and an uplifting nature running through the collection though some poems deal with darker ideas - paradoxically their warnings helping to further illuminate their fellow poems of hope, nature and light.

Ethics for a Broken World

Ethics for a Broken World

Tim Mulgan

Acumen Publishing Ltd
2011
nidottu
Imagine living in the future in a world already damaged by humankind, a world where resources are insufficient to meet everyone's basic needs and where a chaotic climate makes life precarious. Then imagine looking back into the past, back to our own time and assessing the ethics of the early twenty-first century. "Ethics for a Broken World" imagines how the future might judge us and how living in a time of global environmental degradation might utterly reshape the politics and ethics of the future. This book is presented as a series of history of philosophy lectures given in the future, studying the classic texts from a past age of affluence, our own time. The central ethical questions of our time are shown to look very different from the perspective of a ruined world. The aim of "Ethics for a Broken" World is to look at our present with the benefit of hindsight - to reimagine contemporary philosophy in an historical context - and to highlight the contingency of our own moral and political ideals.

Captured by a Better Vision

Captured by a Better Vision

Tim Chester

Inter-Varsity Press
1994
pokkari
You long to be free but... Pornography has reached epidemic proportions. And in God's eyes porn is ugly. It devalues other human beings and the good gift of sex in favour of a destructive imitation. Tim Chester points us to something infinitely better, something that captivates without causing shame, remorse or embarrassment: the glory and beauty of Christ. We are made to be satisfied with God alone, and told to avoid the sin that hinders our relationship with him. Tim exposes the lies and deceptions of porn, inviting us to be fully free, and showing positively and practically how this can be possible in daily life. We can be captured by a better vision.

A Meal With Jesus

A Meal With Jesus

Tim Chester

Inter-Varsity Press
2011
nidottu
Meals have always been important across societies and cultures - a time for friends and families to come together. An important part of relationships, meals are vital to our social health. Or as author Tim Chester puts it, 'Food connects.' Tim argues that meals are also deeply theological - an important part of Christian fellowship and mission. He observes that Luke's Gospel is full of stories of Jesus at meals. And these meals represent something bigger. In six chapters Tim shows how they enact grace, community, hope, mission, salvation and promise. Moving from New Testament times to today, the author applies biblical truth to challenge our contemporary understandings of hospitality. He urges sacrificial giving and loving around the table, helping readers consider how meals can be about serving others and sharing the grace of Christ.

Travels with a Tangerine

Travels with a Tangerine

Tim Mackintosh-Smith

John Murray Publishers Ltd
2012
pokkari
Ibn Battutah set out in 1325 from his native Tangier on the pilgrimage to Mecca. By the time he returned twenty-nine years later, he had visited most of the known world, travelling three times the distance Marco Polo covered. Spiritual backpacker, social climber, temporary hermit and failed ambassador, he braved brigands, blisters and his own prejudices. The outcome was a monumental travel classic.Captivated by this indefatigable man, award-winning travel writer Tim Mackintosh-Smith set out on his own eventful journey, retracing the Moroccan's eccentric trip from Tangier to Constantinople. Tim proves himself a perfect companion to this distant traveller, and the result is an amazing blend of personalities, history and contemporary observation.

A Democracy of Posions

A Democracy of Posions

Tim Allen

Shearsman Books
2021
nidottu
The texts in this volume run parallel with the years of Austerity leading to Brexit and its fallout, issues internalised here before resurfacing within new narrative contexts and scenarios in which modern cultural history competes with autobiographical conflict to be transported elsewhere by the chimera of language. Motifs arising from the perspective of age and change echo, but sparsely; what really unites the poems is a cruel humour, as often self-directed as aimed at the democracy of poisons. "Tim Allen combines images with the anarchic verve of Lautreamont and the early Surrealists. The sentences which result are both playful and rebellious, generating quirky narrative threads which are soon subsumed again by the text. Each poem is a helter skelter rush of improvisation, an exercise in indeterminacy bounded only by the imposed 28 line, four stanzas form used throughout the book." -Simon Collings "Why does what they call high modernism have so much religion bronchial hymns and ripped sacking in it? There is a phase of childhood when the child does nothing but ask awkward questions, and Tim Allen may be an example of someone who never abandoned this phase. His unwillingness to retain the answers opened up a new world with new conventions. Are things really as they are or are they ceaselessly reformulated into moral patterns by the generalising powers of language? As the prose units of democracy of poisons develop, their polished and surreal surface becomes more and more convincing. The title presumably refers to a 24-hour media slew in which toxic ideas try to win popularity contests. There is a camaraderie of bad ideas." -Andrew Duncan

A Public Faith

Tim Dowley; Ivor J Davidson

Monarch Books
2005
pokkari
As volume two opens, persecution of Christians is coming to an end with the triumph of Constantine. Soon legal measures protected church interests. Clergy are exempted from taxation; Christian pastors are appointed as military chaplains. But inclusion brings its own dangers as the temptations to compromise grow stronger. The following centuries will see painful heart-searching as church and state grow closer, and the doctrinal wrangles of the early church continue.

Adrift on a Painted Sea

Adrift on a Painted Sea

Tim Bird

Avery Hill Publishing Limited
2024
nidottu
Sue Bird was always painting: botanical art, landscapes, still lifes, and especially the sea. She took classes, kept countless sketchbooks, and filled the house with art. From their neighbourhood to their family trips, all the moments of her life were memorialised in her artwork. Throughout her life, she never sold a piece - she gave art to family and friends, and shared her work online, but never received wider recognition for her work. This graphic novel by her son, Tim Bird, explores their family life and her creative explorations through a mix of her paintings and Tim's comics, depicting their relationship and her life from teenagehood to her struggle with cancer at the height of the covid pandemic. After her death, this graphic novel at last showcases her work. At its heart a book about creativity and family relationships, Adrift on a Painted Sea tells a story about the things we overlook in the people closest to us.

JOHN DONALD PUBLISHERS LTD

Situated in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man is like a stepping-stone between the lands that surround it. In medieval times, it played an important role in the histories of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. This book explores the first part of that turbulent era, tracing the story of the Isle of Man from the fifth to the thirteenth centuries. It looks at the ways in which various peoples – Britons, Scots, Irish, English and Scandinavians – influenced events in Man over a period of more than 800 years. A large portion of the book is concerned with the Vikings, a group whose legacy – in place names, old burial mounds and finely carved stones – is such a vivid element in the Manx landscape today.

Northern Bee Books
2018
pokkari
This book is a synthesis of one recorder maker's approach to the subject, as well as a practical introduction to looking after the instrument. Unlike strings and orchestral winds, the skills of recorder making were largely lost after the 18th century, and have been rediscovered during the last fifty years. Nowadays, the market is supplied by a handful of individual makers scattered around the world. They are all single-minded, obsessive, independent, skilled workers, who combine the tasks of researcher, craftsman, salesman and musician in one. The author is proud to be one of them.

The Hunter coalfields. Then and now. An extinct mining community lies at rest in a small but crowded bone orchard. Its gravedigger led a spectacularly unkempt life, while holding firmly to the belief that a soul would not rest in a hole dug by machine. As the coalpit and village declined, he buried almost everyone he knew, before joining them.'Out of an ordinary, former coal mining town come these extraordinary stories and extraordinary characters. So wonderful you'd wish they were true. A beguiling and loving evocation'. - Louis Nowra'Tim Gooding brings the dead to life. A gallery of pigeon fanciers, strikers, rascals, bar brawlers, shunters, communists and pit queens you won't forget. Wry and unsentimental, this collection embodies the gritty culture of mining communities now extinct.' - Caroline Baum

A Framework for Web Science sets out a series of approaches to the analysis and synthesis of the World Wide Web, and other web-like information structures. A comprehensive set of research questions is outlined, together with a sub-disciplinary breakdown, emphasising the multi-faceted nature of the Web, and the multi-disciplinary nature of its study and development. These questions and approaches together set out an agenda for Web Science, the science of decentralised information systems. Web Science is required both as a way to understand the Web, and as a way to focus its development on key communicational and representational requirements.The authors survey central engineering issues, such as the development of the Semantic Web, Web services and P2P. Analytic approaches to discover the Web's topology, or its graph-like structures, are examined. Finally, the Web as a technology is essentially socially embedded; therefore various issues and requirements for Web use and governance are also reviewed. It is aimed primarily at researchers and developers in the area of Web-based knowledge management and information retrieval. It will also be an invaluable reference for students in computer science at the postgraduate level, academics and industrial practitioners.
