  Using the five main rivers of Essex as a framework, it dives into many aspects of the maritime world and its history, taking the reader on an unpredictable and fascinating journey from the lost world of Doggerland and the development of modern humans, to yacht building on the River Colne. With stories from the age-old tradition of smuggling to the secret building and mysterious disappearance of a pocket submarine at Wivenhoe. 
  Essex is edged with mudflats and saltmarsh, marginal spaces tht are neither sea nor land. That sense of an unclear boundary is a recurring theme in this exploration of maritime history, in which creatures half-fish and half-animal were thought to haunt the oceans and the bed of the North Sea was once an inhabited country. 
  This unusual book takes you on a glorious and unpredictable journey from prehistory through to the end of the great days of sail, when the railways and the diesel engine changed the world forever. 
  The author lives in Norfolk and has a fascination with the North Sea coast. her lifelong passion for traditional sail, her love of sketching and her abiding interest in history have combined to produce this delightful and engaging book.

  Lights. Camera. Politics 
  Before Ronald Reagan became “the Great Communicator,” he was a Hollywood actor who mastered the art of storytelling — and he carried that skill straight into the White House. Reagan’s Hollywood America reveals how the former movie star reshaped not only the Republican Party but also the entire cultural imagination of the United States. 
  From the rise of patriotic blockbusters to the golden glow of prime-time optimism, Davis Truman traces how film and television during the 1980s became a mirror — and a weapon — for Reagan’s vision of America. Behind the scenes, entertainment and ideology merged into a powerful narrative machine that sold not just movies, but a new national myth. 
  Inside this groundbreaking book:That ’80s Show! – How pop culture and politics fused into one seamless performance.The Image President – How Reagan used cinematic language to control public perception.Hollywood’s Cold War – Movies as moral battlegrounds for American virtue versus Soviet villainy.Television Nation – The rise of nostalgia, family values, and the American Dream on screen.The Legacy Reel – How Reagan’s Hollywood still shapes today’s political storytelling. 
  Rich with cultural analysis, cinematic insight, and political commentary, Reagan’s Hollywood America is an essential listen for readers who love history, film, and the art of persuasion. 
  Whether you’re a student of politics, a lover of classic cinema, or fascinated by how image became power, this book pulls back the curtain on an era when the American Dream was scripted, directed, and broadcast worldwide.

  In Feminism is Queer, Mimi Marinucci provides a valuable introduction to the intimately related disciplines of gender and queer theory, and develops the innovative concept of queer feminism, which treats queer theory as being continuous with feminist theory. While there were significant conceptual tensions between second-wave feminism and traditional lesbian and gay studies, queer feminism offers a paradigm for understanding gender, sex, and sexuality that overcomes this conflict in order to foster solidarity between those campaigning for women's rights and those for LGBTQ rights. 
   
   
   
  This updated and expanded edition engages with the latest developments in feminism and queer theory, including the new forms of both feminism and 'antifeminism' which have developed within online communities, the growing prominence of trans experiences in popular media, and the relevancy of queer feminism to a new generation of feminist activists. Feminism is Queer remains the indispensable guide for anyone with an interest in gender, sexuality, and the connections between feminism and queer issues.

  Nan Yar? - Who am I? - The...

  What is liberation? How does the mind become still? What is happiness?Who am I? is the title of a series of 28 questions and answers that Sri M. Shivaprakasham Pillai asked the Indian master Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi around 1902. He visited the master in a cave on Mount Arunachala in southern India and asked for spiritual guidance.It is recorded that Ramana Maharshi answered these questions in Tamil, the language he was familiar with. This text was first published in Tamil in 1923, underwent several revisions, was translated into English by an Indian scholar from the University of Madras in 1982 and finally translated into a modern German version in 2002. The questions that were asked over a hundred years ago have lost none of their validity. The radical answers bear witness to a profound knowledge of the nature of the human spirit and point in an emphatic and uncompromising way to the possibility of realising our true self.This work is one of the only two prose pieces among Ramana Maharshi's messages in his own words. They clearly represent the central teaching that the path of knowledge, the enquiry with the question 'Who am I?' is the direct path to liberation. 'Self-enquiry leads directly to Self-realisation by removing the obstacles that make us think that the Self is not yet realised.'  Sri Ramana MaharshiIn the foreword, OM C. Parkin describes the essence of this spiritual treasure in clear and impressive words: 'All questions that arise from the depths of the human soul ultimately lead to a single one: "Who am I?" The instruction to this last of all questions contains the knowledge that everything a person seeks can only be found within. Love is within. Truth is within. God is within. God is the Self.'
