  Moving House and other Poems...

  Gillian Bickley

  The old is contrasted with the new, fictional with actual life. Links are made between different cultures, different lives, different experiences. The expatriate life-style of constant movement runs parallel with the title of the book. 
   "Gillian Bickley writes as she responds to everyday events, always with the echo of 'time's winged chariot' in her ears. The fact of moving house sends her speeding back through the moves of a lifetime and forward to the last move, to the small room of the grave. The opening poem suggests the elusive presence of the author, and the deeper themes glimpsed through her deceptively simple poems. The variety of human life and the individual response to life, these are Gillian Bickley's central interests. The power that invigorates the poems in Moving House is the control of language. In this bare, tight poetry, no idle words are allowed. Its vocabulary draws on the base language of essences and epiphanies. The chosen spare language is the perfect partner for this poetry of mature experience." — Emeritus Professor I. F. Clarke and M. Clarke. 
  "The poetic observations of a sensitive writer responding to the reality of being alive." "Insightful probing into the darker issues of our lives . . . to make sense of human experience." — Paul Bench, Speech & Drama: Journal of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama. 
  "A privileged view into the emotional, intellectual and spiritual life of its writer." "The profound intimacy of the personal poems, reflecting universal truths about the human condition, renders the reader at once intruder and confidant." — Solveig Bang, Sunday Morning Post. 
  "Bickley's delicately-crafted poems are faithful word portraits of various aspects of Hong Kong at the turn of the millennium: its landscape, its people, its myths and spirits." —Tammy Ho, Asian Review of Books.

  Spend 24 hours immersed in the rich and fascinating everyday lives of the Vikings. 
   
   
   
  Between the infamous Lindisfarne raid in 793 CE and the Norman conquest of 1066, the peoples we know now as the Vikings became one of the most far-ranging and influential civilizations in history. The Vikings are frequently portrayed as raiders, marauding across medieval Europe and Britain, but the culture and society of the medieval Nordic peoples was so much more diverse, multifaceted and influential than it is often depicted. 
   
   
   
  In 24 Hours in the Viking World, author and Viking expert Kirsten Wolf chronicles an hour in the life of 24 individuals from every corner of Viking society over the course of a single day. From the warrior to the thrall, the shipbuilder to the farmer, the poet to the oracle, each chapter offers a snapshot of the world as it was in medieval Scandinavia, and an insight into how these people lived, loved, worked, fought and died. 
   
   
   
  The latest entry in the bestselling 24 Hours series, 24 Hours in the Viking World presents an absorbing, grounded, and tangible look at what it was really like to be alive during this pivotal era in history.

  Let’s face it, the world as it is today wasn’t designed for neurodivergent people! 
  This means that as a neurodivergent, you need tools to help you through the tough times as best as possible. One of the best ways to do this is by working within the framework of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, also known as DBT. 
  DBT skills are very handy and helpful, but here’s the rub, it’s not often that they’re taught in a way that helps people who are neurodivergent. This is why this workbook has been written. Unlike other books out there, you’ll find this one very practical, and at no point will you be left scratching your head about what to do or how to be better at dealing with life’s stressors. It is written and narrated in simple English, and everything you’ll learn is clearly and concisely stated. You’ll be able to pick up these skills easily, working at your own pace. 
  Here the most relevant themes covered:What is neurodivergence? A brief overview to help you understand better Are you neurodivergent? Self-evaluation test, positive sides, and success storiesDialectical Behavioral Therapy: the current gold standard of psychotherapyStrategies for stress, anger, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and intrusive thoughtsDaily plan for emotional well-being 
  This workbook isn’t written with the intent to change your personality at its core. It is meant to help you figure out your emotions and regulate them, so they don’t overwhelm you to a crippling point. The exercises here will help you learn healthy coping mechanisms for when you’re overwhelmed. They’ll help you get better at learning what you need, stating those needs clearly, and meeting them yourself when required.

  Digitalisation for Sustainable...

  In today's tumultuous and fast-changing times, digitalisation and technology are game changers in a wide range of sectors and have a tremendous impact on infrastructure. Roads, railways, electricity grids, aviation, and maritime transport are deeply affected by the digital
  and technological transition, with gains in terms of competitiveness, cost-reduction, and safety. Digitalisation is also a key tool for fostering global commitment towards sustainability, but the race for digital infrastructure is also a geopolitical one. As the world's largest economies are starting to adopt competitive strategies, a level playing field appears far from being agreed upon.
  Why are digitalisation and technology the core domains of global geopolitical competition? How are they changing the way infrastructure is built, operated, and maintained? To what extent will road, rail, air, and maritime transport change by virtue of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things? How to enhance cyber protection for critical infrastructure? What are the EU's, US' and China's
  digital strategies?

  We live in an era rife with cultural conflict. The 21st century is by no means free of wars, terrorism, riots, famine, nor epidemics. We may attempt to solve the challenges of our times by uniting the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, science, and technology. Our modern reality requires a fundamental understanding of the problems beleaguering our existence. Science and literature are key tools for gaining this insight. The wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries by scientists, philosophers, and writers is a solid foundation on which modern man can build the future. Our ability to learn from those who have come before is precisely what led Protagoras to declare that "Man is the measure of all things."
