Sinossi

In "The Ragged Edge: A Tale of Ward Life & Politics," John T. McIntyre skillfully intertwines narrative and social commentary to illuminate the intricate dynamics of urban ward politics and the lives of those who inhabit the hospital wards. With its vivid, character-driven storytelling and a keen observational style, McIntyre presents a gripping portrayal of the struggles faced by patients and medical practitioners alike amid bureaucratic indifference. Set against the backdrop of an unnamed, yet universally resonant, urban environment, the book deftly explores themes of social justice, healthcare challenges, and the human spirit's resilience amid adversity. John T. McIntyre's background as a healthcare professional and his keen interest in social issues have profoundly influenced his writing. His lived experiences within the complex ecosystem of urban healthcare provide authenticity to the characters and narratives within the book. McIntyre'Äôs work is situated within a broader tradition of social realism, echoing the voices of those often marginalized in public discourse, thereby enriching our understanding of systemic healthcare challenges. Readers interested in a compelling blend of fiction and social critique will find "The Ragged Edge" both enlightening and thought-provoking. McIntyre invites readers to grapple with the stark realities of ward life, making this book a crucial read for anyone passionate about social reform, empathy in healthcare, and the intricate political landscape that shapes our lives.

    I asked my Year 1 class, ‘What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you?’ 
    George Pointon asks his class a lot of questions. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you reckon your parents do while you’re at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler – can you put it down? 
    He’s also got a few for himself: what is he doing here? Who was he kidding, thinking he could teach? 
    But the course of true professional fulfilment never did run smooth, and there’s no backing out now. 
    In this book, George takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching. In the company of five-year-olds – who are somehow wisdom, innocence and chaos incarnate – there is always lots to be learned. 
    In Teacher Man, George Pointon masterfully combines elements of autobiography and non-fiction to provide a candid look at education and parenting. His essays delve into the complexities of behavioural management and relationships within the school environment, offering a unique perspective on the role of educators. 
    For fans of Lucy Mangan (Bookworm), Sam Leith (The Haunted Wood), and Annie Ernaux (A Woman's Story – WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE).

    The Newton Wars & the Beginning...

    Nothing is considered more natural than the connection between Isaac Newton’s science and the modernity that came into being during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. Terms like “Newtonianism” are routinely taken as synonyms for “Enlightenment” and “modern” thought, yet the particular conjunction of these terms has a history full of accidents and contingencies. Modern physics, for example, was not the determined result of the rational unfolding of Newton’s scientific work in the eighteenth century, nor was the Enlightenment the natural and inevitable consequence of Newton’s eighteenth-century reception. Each of these outcomes, in fact, was a contingent event produced by the particular historical developments of the early eighteenth century. A comprehensive study of public culture, The Newton Wars and the Beginning of the French Enlightenment digsbelow the surface of the commonplace narratives that link Newton with Enlightenment thought to examine the actual historical changes that brought them together in eighteenth-century time and space. Drawing on the full range of early modern scientific sources, from studied scientific treatises and academic papers to book reviews, commentaries, and private correspondence, J. B. Shank challenges the widely accepted claim that Isaac Newton’s solitary genius is the reason for his iconic status as the father of modern physics and the philosophemovement.

    Brown noise could be described as the intense sound of a jet engine, a wind tunnel, or the sound waves make during a storm. While this type of sound might not seem like it could be relaxing, many people with ADHD find that brown noise helps them turn off their brain, relax or focus.ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A person with ADHD has differences in brain development and brain activity that affect attention, the ability to sit still, and self-control.Teens and adults with ADHD actually need more "noise" to reach optimal cognitive functioning than people who don't have ADHD. This may seem counterintuitive, considering that individuals with ADHD struggle to focus and relax. But because brown noise plays lower frequencies at a higher sound level, the brain registers the sound as similar to its resting state.Many individuals with ADHD find that brown noise in particular is helpful for tapping into that sense of calm and focus they so desperately need. Some have described brown noise as a weighted blanket for their brain. This could mean that brown noise soothes the person with ADHD by calming the nervous system and restoring brain wave functioning to a neutral baseline.Brown noise is a sound that is played louder at a lower frequency. This supports rest, calmness, and relaxation because it's similar to the resting state of the brain. Parents of babies are often advised to make brown noise playlists for their children to help them fall asleep because this frequency is similar to the sounds they hear in their mother's womb.WHAT YOU GET:Our 12 hours brown noise audiobook!1.

    The ANC Billionaires - Big...

    ‘We were talking about the rise of Japan, about Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars … globalisation, technology. And they were still banging on about the Freedom Charter.’ – Anglo American’s Michael Spicer on the ANC in the mid-1980s 
      
    In 1985, a group of white South African business leaders, led by Gavin Relly, the executive chairperson of Anglo American, travelled to a game lodge in Zambia to meet with the exiled ANC leadership under Oliver Tambo and Thabo Mbeki. This visit set in motion a coordinated and well-resourced plan by big business to influence and direct political change in South Africa. 
      
    In The ANC Billionaires, top-selling author Pieter du Toit draws on first-hand accounts by major roleplayers about the contentious relationship between capital and the ANC before, during and after the country’s transition to democracy, and shows how the liberation organisation was completely unprepared to navigate the intersection between business and politics. 
      
    He also ties the rise of the new elite – including Cyril Ramaphosa, Patrice Motsepe and Saki Macozoma – to the ANC, a party of government and patronage.
