I wrote this book with Annie Simon to remind people of the existence of practical and natural tools, in the form of flower essences and tissue salts, that can help to maintain physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing throughout life. We also wanted to show how each person's astrological natal chart can give pointers to which remedies will be most useful. Each person can then use this information to self-prescribe or work with a qualified practitioner to select the most appropriate flower essences and tissue salts for their needs.Astrology can assist greatly in gaining self-knowledge. A study of key elements of your natal chart (which can be thought of as a snapshot of cosmic conditions at the time you were born) can bring deep insights into underlying influences that lie at the root of our strengths and also our vulnerabilities, susceptibilities and, ultimately, physical health issues. This book aims to share this wisdom of self-understanding by examining a range of possible relationships (known as aspects) between elements within the natal chart which most directly affect our health and wellbeing. For each aspect of the natal chart under discussion, two or three flower essence or tissue salt options are offered. As you consider each of them, it will become clear which ones match you on a physical, emotional and psychological level. These 'best match' remedies have a deep action that can bring about profound and positive changes in your overall health and wellbeing.

This is the first book to examine the activities of UK and international ‘role models’ through the lens of state crime and social policy. Written by experts in the field of sociology and social policy, it defines the ideal state as a single, functioning whole that ensures uniformity in the name of legitimacy. It then details the ways that states do not constitute the ideal in terms of the dangers associated with the maintenance of legitimacy and state power. Anti-democratic measures, such as the invasions of other nation states, the idea that the media can both reinforce and influence the state and the problems of over-zealous policing of a state’s own populace, are covered. Using the topical example of Rupert Murdoch and the activities of his media organisation to show how powerful individuals and corporations can and do exert political influence, the book provides a comprehensive discussion of state immorality and deviance generally and state crime in particular. It will appeal to range of academics and practitioners in broader disciplines such as criminology, sociology, politics and political science.

A graphic novel that confronts our habits, narratives, and fantasies head-on to help break our petroleum dependency What if the biggest barriers to responding to climate change are not technological or governmental but, rather, cultural? In other words, what if we ourselves could help to enact change through a deeper understanding of our petroleum dependency? In a provocative graphic format that draws widely from history, critical theory, and popular culture, Gasoline Dreams explores and challenges the ways fossil fuels have shaped our identities, relationships, and our ability to imagine sustainable, equitable futures. As our rapidly warming planet is pushed toward ecological collapse, we might often feel helpless or paralyzed by the enormity of the challenges confronting us. However, reflecting upon the cultural dimensions of our predicament helps reveal the great potential for social transformation inherent in the multiplying crises. Author and artist Simon Orpana engages with contemporary scholarship in the emergent field of Energy Humanities to confront the habits, narratives, and fantasies that support our attachment to fossil fuels. By revealing the many ways petroculture repeatedly fails to deliver on its promises of "the good life," Gasoline Dreams calls us to the difficult work of waking up from the fantasies that inhibit us from working toward a global transition to renewable energy. Written in an engaging graphic format that makes relevant historical, cultural, and political analyses of global warming and petrol dependency important to a wide audience, Gasoline Dreams refutes the progress narratives that depict contemporary, energy-intensive societies as the inevitable product of human history. By revealing the contingencies, coercions, and compulsions this myth disguises, the book allows us to imagine truly progressive alternatives. Rather than casting climate change as a problem for technological elites to solve, the book confronts the everyday realities that reinforce our dependence on fossil fuels, offering a space of hope and engagement from which concerned people can work to build a more sustainable future. On the threshold of the single greatest transformation the human species has yet faced, Gasoline Dreams challenges us to start living, working, and dreaming differently to become less culturally dependent on petroleum.

This collection of humorous short stories warns us of the pitfalls of self-publishing and the dangers of demonic powers. It discusses classic literary characters and new internet sensations. Silly, surreal, stupendous; this book has something for almost everyone... who likes that sort of thing.Mark Hewitt has long been a fan of off the wall, nonsensical humor and, together with former Bournemouth University class-mates David Ruddock and Simon Jay, has put together a collection of humorous stories. The book begins with a tongue in cheek tirade against self-publishing. The next tale discusses an oddly shaped crocodilian who's only opponents are a failed scientist and a bumbling bufoon. David Ruddock takes a completely different look at the Dracula story, and Simon Jay tells us all about the peculiar life of romantic horror writer, and paranormal experience experiencer, Serena Kindred Hunt.It's not going to change the world or win awards, but it is rather fun.

Any business that allows their customers credit terms will invariably run into late or non-payments. This affects cash flow and business viability. However, as the authors show, customers that are solvent will pay some suppliers every month, even if they don't pay everyone. So how do you ensure you are 'first in line' to get paid? This book examines the strategies that work – and those that don't. The authors introduce a simple but highly effective model, the Virtuous Revenue Cycle, that shows readers how to cultivate business relationships that keep the cash flowing. The strategies are highly practical, down to advice on just how to phrase those tricky emails reminding customers to pay up!
