Synopsis

In "Joan and Peter - The Story of an Education," H.G. Wells explores the intricate interplay of individual growth and societal expectations through the lives of two young protagonists. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Britain, Wells employs a vivid narrative style that intertwines realism with insightful psychological depth, capturing the challenges of education, personal development, and the tension between ambition and conformity. The novel delineates the characters' quest for identity, articulating the philosophical debates of the time and reflecting Wells's commitment to social critique, particularly regarding the rigid structures of the educational system. H.G. Wells, a prominent thinker of his era and a pioneering science fiction writer, drew upon his own experiences as an educator in crafting this narrative. His background in social reform and keen observations of class disparities informed the characters' struggles, making this work not merely a coming-of-age story, but also a commentary on the broader societal norms governing education and opportunity. Wells's own educational journey and ideological concerns provide a rich context that enhances the narrative's emotive power. "Joan and Peter" is highly recommended for readers interested in literature that challenges societal norms while exploring the complexities of personal growth. Its blend of engaging storytelling and philosophical reflection offers profound insights into the struggles faced by individuals within prescribed societal frameworks, making it a timeless and thought-provoking read.

    A revolutionary anthology of essays and dramatic works by contemporary Disabled theatre artists 
    Rebellious Bodies and Radical Acts brings together some of the most innovative minds working in the realm of Disability theatre today. Through essays, poetry, interviews, and critique, these artists pull back the curtain on the creative process, revealing how they engage in the practice of performance. As Disabled people, their bodies and abilities defy the status quo, lending their exploration of this embodied artform an essential and overlooked perspective. 
    Each writer brings their expertise as an artist to the task of defining what is most urgent, compelling, and relevant in the ongoing evolution of their artform. The centrepiece of this book is the complete text of Alex Bulmer’s Perceptual Archaeology (or How to Travel Blind), a richly layered exploration of her experiences travelling across differing geographies and unexpected emotional terrain. Other writers share excerpts of their work, including Niall McNeil’s Beauty and the Beast: My Life, Debbie Patterson’s How It Ends, Audrey-Anne Bouchard’s Camille, and more. 
    These bold artists are pressing in from the margins, demanding a new era in the creation of live performance: one that engages a broader scope of lived experience, one that embraces Disability as opportunity, and one that welcomes the adventure of travelling in the unfamiliar. 
    Available in accessible digital formats.

    From digital-age parenting expert Jordan Shapiro, a thoughtful and long-overdue exploration of fatherhood and masculinity in the 21st century.There are hundreds of books on parenting, and with good reason—becoming a parent is scary, difficult, and life-changing. But when it comes to books about parenting identity, rather than the nuts and bolts of raising children, nearly all are about what it's like to be a mother.Drawing on research in sociology, economics, philosophy, gender studies, and the author's own experiences, Father Figure sets out to fill that gap. It's an exploration of the psychology of fatherhood from an archetypal perspective as well as a cultural history that challenges familiar assumptions about the origins of so-called traditional parenting roles. What paradoxes and contradictions  are inherent in our common understanding of dads? Might it be time to rethink some aspects of fatherhood?Gender norms are changing, and old economic models are facing disruption. As a result, parenthood and family life are undergoing an existential transformation. And yet, the narratives and images of dads available to us are wholly inadequate for this transition. Victorian and Industrial Age tropes about fathers not only dominate the media, but also contour most people's lived experience. Father Figure offers a badly needed update to our collective understanding of fatherhood—and masculinity in general. It teaches dads how to embrace the joys of fathering while guiding them toward an image of manliness for the modern world.
