The Unthinkable - David Challen - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The Unthinkable - David Challen - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

"When my mum struck, it was with the cumulative rage of thirty years of hurt." David Challen grew up in the perfect home with the model family. He also grew up inside a house which concealed his father''s manipulation and control. One Saturday in 2010, David''s mother struck more than twenty blows to the back of her husband''s head with a hammer after thirty years of abuse. She then washed the dirty dishes from the lunch she had just cooked and left the house. In those few minutes, David''s life was changed forever.Over the next decade, he led the fight to overturn her conviction ; and in doing so he not only freed his mother and helped change the legal system, but also became a voice for the countless victims of coercive control across the country. This is a powerful story of a son''s love for his mother; of an insidious form of abuse that must be better understood if we are to truly tackle it; and fight that reshaped how society understands domestic abuse.

''My favourite book of the year'' - Kate Humble, Radio Times ''This is a book for literary connoisseurs, fact-lovers and environmentalists. In short, it is a book about trees and people, for everyone.'' - BBC Countryfile ''Eclectic, brilliant and beautifully written, David Haskell reboots our aromatic memory reminding us of how our lives are intertwined with the wonder of trees. A treat not to be sneezed at.'' - Sir Peter Crane, FRS ''Thirteen Ways to Smell a Tree is a transportive olfactory journey through the forest that sets the sense tingling. Every chapter summons a new aroma: leaf litter and woodsmoke, pine resin and tannin, quinine and bay leaf - life in all its glorious complexity. David George Haskell is a knowledgeable, witty and erudite companion, who takes us by the hand and leads us through the world, reminding us to breathe it all in. This book is a breath of fresh air.'' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment Thirteen Ways to Smell a Tree takes you on a journey to connect with trees through the sense most aligned to our emotions and memories. Thirteen essays are included that explore the evocative scents of trees, from the smell of a book just printed as you first open its pages, to the calming scent of Linden blossom, to the ingredients of a particularly good gin & tonic:In your hand: a highball glass, beaded with cool moisture.In your nose: the aromatic embodiment of globalized trade. The spikey, herbal odour of European juniper berries. A tang of lime juice from a tree descended from wild progenitors in the foothills of the Himalayas. Bitter quinine, from the bark of the South American cinchona tree, spritzed into your nostrils by the pop of sparkling tonic water.Take a sip, feel the aroma and taste three continents converge.Each essay also contains a practice the reader is invited to experience. For example, taking a tree inventory of your own home, appreciating just how many things around us came from trees. And if you''ve ever hugged a tree when no one was looking, try breathing in the scents of different trees that live near you, the smell of pine after the rain, the refreshing, mind-clearing scent of a eucalyptus leaf crushed in your hand.

Women and Their Jewels - David Lelait Helo - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

A sumptuously illustrated book exploring the lives and loves of 15 famous women through the prism of their jewelry - including Elizabeth Taylor, Elizabeth II, Jackie Kennedy and Wallis Simpson. The word 'jewel' derives from the Old French word joiel , a word that finds its roots in the words for playing, joy, and enjoyment, proof that jewelry is intimately tied to notions of pleasure and happiness. For some, it is the pleasure of love, for others, an obsessive passion. For Wallis Simpson, after the throne had passed her by, her jeweled treasures were her solace. As for Maria Callas, the soprano amassed diamonds and rubies to ward off the poverty of her childhood, and to spark the jealousy of a mother she hated. Barbara Hutton, America's most famous poor little rich girl, went around wearing a tiara, demanding to be called a princess. And they have been the cause of so much drama, Marie-Antoinette, whose diamond necklace identified her and sent her to the guillotine; Joséphine de Beauharnais, who was also embroiled in a necklace affair involving Marie-Antoinette's pearls; Yvette Labrousse, Miss France 1930, and wife of the Aga Khan, who was robbed of her royal jewelry in the middle of the street... In this gloriously illustrated book, novelist and jewelry expert David Lelait-Helo stares into the jewelry boxes of these illustrious women to discover their hearts and their minds. The women featured are: Ava Gardner Barbara Hutton Brooke Astor Elizabeth II Elizabeth Taylor Eugénie de Montijo Grace Kelly Helena Rubinstein Jackie Kennedy Diana, Princess of Wales Maria Callas Marie-Antoinette Princess Soraya Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor Yvette Labrousse
