        Stücke und Materialien

        by Edward Bond, Brigitte Landes

        Edward Bond wurde 1934 in der Londoner Vorstadt Holloway geboren. 1956 schrieb er erste Gedichte und Stückentwürfe und trat 1960 einer Dramatikergruppe um John Osborne, Arnold Wesker und John Arden bei. 1962 wurde Bonds erstes Stück, The Pope's Wedding (Die Hochzeit des Papstes), in London uraufgeführt. Sein zweites Theaterstück, Saved (Gerettet), provozierte einen der größten Skandale der britischen Theatergeschichte: Das Stück wurde kurz nach seiner Premiere im November 1965 im Royal Court Theatre aufgrund von expliziter Gewaltdarstellung von der Zensur verboten. Die sich anschließende Diskussion um Freiheit der Kunst bewirkte 1968 das Ende der britischen Theaterzensur. Große Erfolge wurden Anfang der 1970er Jahre seine Lear-Bearbeitung und das Stück The Sea (Die See). In den kommenden Jahrzehnten zahlreiche Stücke, Opernlibretti für Hans Werner Henze, Arbeit an Theatern, für den Film (u.a. Mitarbeit am Drehbuch zu Antonionis Film Blow up) und das Fernsehen. Edward Bond lebt in der Nähe von Cambridge. Brigitte Landes, geboren 1946 in Frankfurt/Main. Sie arbeitet freiberuflich als Dramaturgin, Regisseurin und Autorin.

        Insect Evolutionary Ecology

        by Edited by Mark DE Fellowes, Graham Holloway, Jens Rolff

        Insects provide excellent model systems for understanding evolutionary ecology. They are abundant, small, and relatively easy to rear, and these traits facilitate both field and laboratory experiments. This book has been developed from the Royal Entomological Society's 22nd international symposium, held in Reading in 2003. Topics include speciation and adaptation; life history, phenotype plasticity and genetics; sexual selection and reproductive biology; insect-plant interactions; insect-natural enemy interactions; and social insects.

        Holloway Prison

        An Inside Story

        by Hilary Beauchamp (Author)

        A compelling, true life account of her time working in this famous north-London prison. Hilary Beauchamp ‘lifts the lid’ on life inside, making the book a must for students of women’s imprisonment or prison education. A unique and telling insight into life in a claustrophobic and sometimes violent atmosphere. An ideal primer on women’s issues within the penal system. With 8 colour pages of original artwork. Reviews 'Describing the work of the Education Department of Britains biggest prison for women is a daunting task in itself. Hilary Beauchamp has excelled and captured the very essence and spirit of this exasperating, contradictory, bi-polar afflicted enterprise. Succesful teaching in prisons has always depended on exceptionally dedicated and gifted teachers and on these criteria Hilary is in a class of her own. Reading her book reveals just how well deserved was her MBE - a George Cross for sheer bravery would also have been appropriate!': Erlend Lee, former HoD Education, HMP Holloway. 'A valued social contribution to recent studies in applied criminology and a work which all researchers and students should read and critically appreciate, especially if they have not been involved hitherto in 'the sharp end' of things... makes good reading for a wide market: from Law students and social workers, to teachers and all involved in socially useful work where Hilary Beauchamp has certainly picked up the vibes of what we do as part of the criminal justice process as Lawyers': Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers 'After reading this book one is reminded of comments by Joan Bakewell. In 2006 she called for the majority of women prisoners to be released from Holloway on the premise that most of them were not violent criminals and needed emotional support or psychological help rather than detention': Camden New Journal 'An excellent text ... Hilary Beauchamp writes wonderfully, vividly and honestly': Ben Whittaker, former barrister, MP and Government Minister. 'I have enormous admiration for Hilary Beauchamp and this book is a fascinating contribution in a field which has not been widely covered ... She has a longstanding track record of quality projects . . . someone of total integrity': Lord David Puttnam, film director. 'Artists are lucky – poets, composers or painters – because rather than commit murder they can produce a work of art on the subject instead': Maggi Hambling, artist (from the Foreword). Author Hilary Beauchamp was awarded an MBE in 1992 for her teaching work at Holloway Prison and in September 2008 she won the ITV London Teacher of the Year Award.

        Interpreting the Legacy

        John Neihardt and Black Elk Speaks

        by Brian Holloway

        Neihardt's work has recently been critiqued by scholars who maintain that the author filtered and corrupted Black Elk's teachings through a European spiritual and political lens. In this book, Brian Holloway offers a rather different view, making a convincing case that Neihardt quite consciously attempted to use his literary craftsmanship to provide the reader with direct and immediate access to the teachings of the Oglala elder. Using Neihardt's original hand written notes and early manuscript drafts, Holloway demonstrates the poet's careful and deliberate re-creation of Black Elk's spiritual world in order to induce a transcendent experience in the reader. Through exhaustive research into Neihardt's biographical materials, published philosophical and metaphysical writings, and volumes of taped lectures, Holloway examines the sources of the book's production as well as the reactions to and the implications of his literary portrayal of the spiritual world of the Oglala.

        Cries For Help

        Women Without a Voice, Women’s Prisons in the 1970s, Myra Hindley and her Contemporaries

        by Joanna Kozubska (Author), David Ramsbotham (Foreword writer)

        Cries for Help opens a window on the closed world of Holloway, other women’s prisons and the lives of those held there in the 1970s. This was an era when personal style and charismatic leadership was the order of the day for governors and prison officers, before ideas of ‘new management’, when problems were solved using personal initiatives. It catalogues the daily lives of women prisoners, their anxieties, fears and preoccupations. The book looks at a lost segment of the population, hundreds of women who were hidden from view, lacking a voice, part of a system for men that hardly knew what to do with them. It contains stories about murderers and other serious offenders and looks at their personal correspondence, including that of moors murderer Myra Hindley.

        History, Facts & Figures from Every Day of the Year

        by Stephen Byrne

        Bristol Rovers On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club’s famously chequered history, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable Rovers diary – with an entry for every day of the year.

        Teatro e universidade

        by Gonçalves, Jean Carlos

        Mikhail Bakhtin, filósofo literário, cujos estudos são geralmente associados ao Carnaval e ao Diálogo, foi uma figura solitária que trabalhou, sobretudo em seu ateliê. Jean Carlos Gonçalves nos apresenta um livro em que as ideias de Bakhtin sobre o Diálogo e a Educação são retiradas de um estúdio sombrio para um estúdio bem iluminado, e ali, são convidadas ao jogo. Bakhtin escreveu sobre ideias em interlocução na ágora (o fórum público), mas nesta obra vemos Jean Gonçalves propondo um espaço real, mais do que apenas teórico, onde ensino e aprendizagem se constituem enquanto acontecimento. De certo modo, o ateliê de Gonçalves nos leva de volta às raízes do ver e do pensar, do teatro e da teoria: no grego antigo, ??????? (theasthai) [olhar ou contemplar]. Aqui, nesse estúdio iluminado por vozes da cena e da pedagogia, nos é ofertada uma nova forma de olhar/contemplar o ensino e a aprendizagem no contexto de formação superior em Teatro. — DICK MCCAW, Professor do Departamento de Drama e Teatro da Royal Holloway, University of London

        Who Are We To Judge?

        Empathy and discernment in a critical age

        by Fraser Dyer

        Jesus says ‘Do not judge’ yet our human instinct often leads us to harsh judgements of others. In a world where snap judgements are made in seconds on social media, how can Christians resist the urge to join in? In this insightful and wise book, Fraser Dyer helps us to understand what compels Christians to be judgemental towards others. He explores the condemnation of judgementalism throughout scripture and includes a set of practical approaches, rooted in Christian spirituality, to enable us to journey from this self-righteous attitude towards love of God and neighbour. ‘Thoughtful. Provocative. Honest. Humorous. Profoundly biblical. Extremely well-written and easy to read. Who Are We To Judge? will challenge and change the way you think and the assumptions you make.’ Revd Steve Chalke MBE, Founder of Oasis & Stop The Traffik ‘This book calls for a more responsible and humane society based on empathy and a return to the golden rule – ‘do to others as you would have them do to you.’ The good news is that we can retrain ourselves to be less judgmental, and this book will help us to do it.’ Dave Tomlinson, Vicar of St Luke’s, Holloway, London

        Just a Small Town

        by Paul Linggood

        A small town that could be anywhere: industry is in decline, streets are in decay, many have left, while those left behind take short-term joy in drugs. Four young people are among the left behind. Alex consumes heroin to escape his abusive father. Jim hides from guilt after the death of the friend he didn’t save. Chelsi’s brother killed a local boy, and ostracism pushes her towards a rival gang, prostitution and loneliness. Danny is a hustler but needs protection from the drug gang that supplies him. Can any of them survive the addiction, gang life, isolation and manipulation? Their small town could be anywhere.

        FISHING - A GOOD EXCUSE FOR LOAFING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE - KEITH ARTHUR

        The Best Excuse for Loafing in the Countryside

        by Keith Arthur

        Keith Arthur was born in Holloway, North London, in 1946. He started fishing at an early age and it has remained his passion ever since. Keith worked in the fishing tackle industry for 20 years before becoming the resident expert on Sky Sports' Tight Linesangling programme in 1995. He accepted the role of Tight Lines presenter in 2004 and continues this role to date. Since 1999 Keith has also presented Fisherman's Blues, the UK's only fishing show on national radio on talkSPORT. Keith has written several specialist angling titles since 1980 and has produced his own column in Angling Timessince 1990. He has fished in many countries for a wide variety of species of fish. Now living with his wife Susan close to his beloved River Thames, Keith still spends as much of his time as possible loafing in the countryside and this is the subject of his much anticipated first book. Fishing: The best excuse for loafing in the countryside is Keith's angling memoirs and is jam-packed full of his memories and tales of his angling career and childhood memories. A must for fishermen of any age!Every angler that ever cast a line has an idyll. Whether that is casting for wild trout in a pristine Irish stream, waiting for the attack of a giant blue marlin in the Indian Oceanor catching gudgeon from a river in an English town centre, they will be lost in the moment. Keith Arthur describes that ?being lost? under the general heading of loafing in the countryside and in this book he describes how he has loafed through better than half-a-century since growing up in North London and being adopted as a television and radio presenter. From the mysteries of early captures through to battles with giant sharks this book follows him through some glorious and, occasionally, hilarious times. If you are an angler you will recognise yourself somewhere in these pages. If you are not, then maybe you will want to be after reading them.
