"What you hold in your hand may look like a chapbook, but it is a magic object, a cabinet of curiosities disguised as a meditation on 'the terrible and wondrous laws of leave-taking.' Inside, a ballet unfolds. Thumbelina drifts through a landscape of unsuitable suitors, and as secrets reveal and re-clothe themselves in shifting lights and shadows, we begin to see at work a renaissance specimen logic wherein spiders' webs, bruises on cherry blossoms, storm-battered coral reefs, and the whiskered inhabitants of ceynotes transform themselves into both marvelous new world and momento mori. This 19 poem collection confronts us with the transitory nature of shelters and hiding places, the inevitable stains on the new bed, the uncertainty of days to come." Hester L. Furey, author of little Fish

Florentine Bowar Schlimgen was born and raised on a farm in southeast-central South Dakota. She was the first of 8 children born to her second-generation German-immigrant parents and lived in a farming community for most of her life, only 7 miles from where she was born. She was 15 years old when the great depression hit, and a young wife and mother during some of South Dakota's most difficult economic times. These events, along with her deep Roman catholic faith, surely shaped her values and priorities. Florentine started keeping a diary in 1968, when she was a busy mother of 4 children, 3 of whom were still living at home. In this diary she chronicled her daily activities, along with births, marriages, deaths, and celebrations of her family and friends. In later years, as her household became an empty nest, she also captured her inner thoughts, feelings, joys, frustrations, and aspirations. She kept up her diary regularly until 2004, when, at age 90, her health began to fail her. Diary entries were made on an inconsistent basis until 2008. This amounts to 40 years of family and community history, recorded in 28 notebooks, many of which measure 3 x 5 inches.

'A brilliantly candid, timely and perceptive account.' Andy Haldane'Asks all the right questions.' Mark CarneyHas the West gone bust? Or is there another way?In their new book, Robert Peston and Kishan Koria explain how the country went wrong economically, politically and socially. The economy has flatlined, society has fractured and many think parliament is unfit for purpose. So is the state failing us all?They've got the shocking stories to prove it. But this is no counsel of despair. It's a call to action. We can fix ourselves - by harnessing artificial intelligence, remaking our important institutions, and recognizing that we can and must learn from the rest of the world.
THE MUST-READ BOOK FROM ITV'S ROBERT PESTON AND KISHAN KORIA, REVISED AND UPDATED FOLLOWING THE GENERAL ELECTION *Previously published as Bust?*---------Britain is facing uncertainty, threats and risk: new Prime Minister, new government, new political landscape, at home and abroad. But how much should change? And how much will change? How To Run Britain is a plea from Robert Peston and Kishan Koria to own what's gone wrong and make courageous reforms to everything, from the way we manage the economy to how we vote. We all know that, over the past fifteen years, British living standards have stagnated, inequality between - and within - communities has grown rampant, politicians have lost credibility and the trust of the nation. Millions say they are unheard and disenfranchised, victimised even. A far-right racist minority feels entitled to riot. But what do those problems really mean - and how do we fix them? How can politicians win the trust back from voters, from teachers, doctors, students, pensioners - all those who feel left behind by those who purport to act in their best interest?Peston and Koria's argument is simple: first, we must interrogate everything that has gone wrong, and build solutions from there. This is not the time to shy away from the recent past, nor should we indulge in it. Instead, we should take the lessons learned over the past fifteen years and build a future-focused, strategic plan for restoring economic, political and social security to the country we know and love.How To Run Britain is a manifesto for change in its simplest, clearest form, from the minds of two people who have seen it all.This is an updated, retitled edition of Bust? by Robert Peston and Kishan Koria, published in 2023.
