No Consolation

No Consolation

David Ridley

Peter Lang International Academic Publishers
2022
nidottu
We are living in an age of permanent crisis. Pandemics, war and climate change are just some of the unexpected yet predictable events shaping the world today. In this timely book, David Ridley examines how we collectively respond to these events, whether we face them bravely and intelligently or turn to nostalgia or utopianism. While politicians, corporations and intellectuals all fall prey to what Ridley calls «consolation», drawing on the work of John Dewey, a new generation is rising up to the challenge. Standing alongside teachers, posties, train drivers, refuse workers - young activists are part of an emerging, global movement saying «enough is enough» «This fiery, startling yet engaging polemic is an injunction to think and act together. Eschewing glib or easy answers, Ridley builds on his experiences as a political activist to think about how we got here, while visioning ahead to a near future of reaction, struggle and opportunity. Read this and be prepared to think it all again, upside down, inside-out – together. Rip it up and start again.» (Dan Taylor, Lecturer in Social and Political Thought, Open University and author of the Orwell Prize shortlisted book Island Story: Journeys Through Unfamiliar Britain) «An essential resource for the resistance now growing.» (Hilary Wainwright, Red Pepper co-founder and author of Arguments for A New Left: Answering the Free Market Right)

Jimmy Armfield was one of the great figures of English football - captain of the national team before Bobby Moore, member of the 1966 World Cup-winning squad, one-club man with Blackpool. Gentleman Jim went on to enjoy a wonderfully rich life and career as a manager with Leeds United, before becoming a broadcaster of warmth and insight, then consultant with the Football Association and the Professional Footballers' Association. In Pantomime Hero, award-winning football writer and author Ian Ridley tells the remarkable tale of when Armfield took over at Leeds after Brian Clough's ill-fated 44 days and came up with a novel and unique idea to restore the morale of a club in turmoil. Around that amazing tale, Ridley also describes a friendship forged through the bonds of cancer with a giant of a man who was already long established as a national footballing treasure at the time of his death in January 2018. This is the first book in the innovative Football Shorts series.

The Breath of Sadness

The Breath of Sadness

Ian Ridley

Floodlit Dreams Ltd
2020
sidottu
SHORTLISTED, WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK of the YEAR, 2020. When Ian Ridley's wife, the trailblazing sports reporter Vikki Orvice, died of cancer at the age of 56, he found himself plunged deep into a sadness that he expected and a world of madness that he did not. In an attempt to make sense of it all and seek some solace from the brutality of his grief and anxiety, he embarks on a summer of watching county cricket. Reliving bitter-sweet memories in places he and Vikki had visited together, he is alternately unnerved and consoled by the ebbs and flows of his mourning. But gradually, against a backdrop of the County Championship's peace and solitude - with the sun on his back and tea, cake and crossword at his side - he finds a way to survive the rhythms and cadences of his grief. The Breath of Sadness is an unflinching account of how we carry on when we are left behind, and a poignant, tender and candid exploration of love and loss.

A Brief History of the Tudor Age

A Brief History of the Tudor Age

Jasper Ridley

Robinson Publishing
2002
nidottu
From the arrival of Henry Tudor and his army, at Milford in 1485, to the death of the great Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, this was an astonishingly eventful and contradictory age. All the strands of Tudor life are gathered in a rich tapestry - London and the country, costumes, furniture and food, travel, medicine, sports and pastimes, grand tournaments and the great flowering of English drama, juxtaposed with the stultifying narrowness of peasant life, terrible roads, a vast underclass, the harsh treatment of heretics and traitors, and the misery of the Plague.

Bloody Mary's Martyrs

Bloody Mary's Martyrs

Jasper Ridley

Robinson Publishing

Mary was crowned queen in 1553. In the space of just five years, her brutal methods earned her the macabre nickname she has carried ever since. Men such as Nicholas Ridley and Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, were burned at the stake, as were some 300 others who refused to renounce their Protestantism and accept Papal supremacy. This lucid and expert account sheds light on a dreadful episode in English history.

Clara's Grand Tour

Clara's Grand Tour

Glynis Ridley

Atlantic Books
2005
nidottu
Rhinoceroses were once considered extraordinary curiosities, the 'true unicorns' of the world. In 1741, Clara, a young rhino captured in Assam, was transported by ship to Holland where she would begin a Grand Tour of Europe to be displayed before ordinary people and the grandest of royal courts. A rhinoceros eats up to 70 kilos of vegetation a day - two and a half tons a month - and Clara developed an uncommon fondness for sweets, beer and tobacco. In an age before railways and modern roads, the 3-ton Clara had to travel in an enormous coach drawn by eight horses. For seventeen years she journeyed across mainland Europe and to Britain where she became a great favourite of heads of state, including Frederick the Great; she modelled for scientific portraits and etchings; and she inspired poems, songs, fashions and expensive trinkets. As Clara's popularity threatened to decline, her owner orchestrated a series of recognisably modern publicity stunts: releasing news of Clara's certain imminent death, there would be a massive upsurge in interest, sympathy - and bookings. Clara eventually ended her tour in London, where she died of her own sweet tooth, a victim of bread and cakes.Glynis Ridley has wrought a sparkling portrait of this wonderful animal and the fascination and adoration she commanded, in an era that saw the rhinoceros as both the object of marvel and a challenge to both fundamental philosophical and theological beliefs.

A Brief History of the Freemasons

A Brief History of the Freemasons

Jasper Ridley

Robinson Publishing
2008
nidottu
The history of the Freemasons has often been shrouded in mystery and suspicion. Since 1717, with the establishment of the Grand Lodge in London, the Freemasons have been a power within the nation, withstanding public disapproval and attacks, from the Catholic Church among others. Throughout the last three hundred years, the Freemasons have been influential in some of the most important turning points in world history. Jasper Ridley explores the role of the society in both the American and French Revolutions and whether Mozart's The Magic Flute was an exposé of secret rituals. He reveals that Pushkin, Winston Churchill, Booker T. Washington, Clark Gable, Walter Scott, members of the royal family and at least sixteen US Presidents have all been Freemasons.

QUILLER PUBLISHING LTD

Nick Ridley and Fran Ardley have five decades of combined experience of training and working their gundogs in the field, so there are very few situations that they haven’t encountered. In this straightforward and easy-to-follow guide, they share their expert knowledge and advice with both the novice and the more experienced trainer, enabling them to get the most out of their gundogs. Practical Gundog Training takes a different approach to previous publications and instead of focusing solely on one breed, it concentrates on exercises that owners of all gundog breeds can follow. Although aimed at the gundog owner who plans to work their dog in the shooting field, the book will also be useful to those trainers who own pet gundog breeds. Training scenarios including the place board, whistle work and working with more than one dog are featured. Each subject covers various exercise options, initial training and refresher training, which is especially important at the end of a busy working season.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers

pokkari
Independent mental health advocacy is a crucial means of ensuring rights and entitlements for people sectioned under the Mental Health Act. This book takes an appreciative but critical view of independent mental health advocacy, locating the recent introduction of Independent Mental Health Advocates (IMHAs) within a broader historical, social and policy context, and anticipates future developments. The text includes the voices of service users throughout, both as authors and research participants. Drawing on their research, the authors provide a historical overview of mental health advocacy, independent mental health advocacy in relation to the law, the role and responsibilities of IMHAs, essential values, knowledge and skills required of advocates, relationships with service providers, commissioning, measuring advocacy outcomes, and how IMHA services can be made accessible and appropriate to diverse groups. This will be essential reading for advocates, social work professionals, academic staff and trainers and will provide mental health professionals with an understanding of, and critical reflection on, the IMHA role. It will also be of particular general interest to survivors and mental health service users, and their families and carers.
