Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2010The secret battle
Emotional survival in the great war
by Michael Roper, Bertrand Taithe, Penny Summerfield, Peter Gatrell, Max Jones, Ana Carden-Coyne
What did home mean to British soldiers and how did it help them to cope with the psychological strains of the Great War? Family relationships lie at the heart of this book. It explores the contribution letters and parcels from home played in maintaining the morale of this largely young, amateur army. And it shows how soldiers, in their turn, sought to adapt domestic habits to the trenches. Pursuing the unconscious clues within a rich collection of letters and memoirs with the help of psychoanalytical ideas, including those formulated by the veteran tank commander Wilfred Bion, this study asks fundamental questions about the psychological resources of this generation of young men. It reveals how the extremities of battle exposed the deepest emotional ties of childhood, and went on marking the post-war domestic lives of those who returned. ;

July 1992Lernen durch Erfahrung
by Wilfred R. Bion, Erika Krejci, Erika Krejci
"Das vorliegende Buch will die Entwicklung von Fähigkeiten befördern, vor allem der Fähigkeit, sich für das Unbekannte in größtmöglicher Offenheit zu interessieren, das sich in jeder neuen psychoanalytischen Begegnung neu ereignet, und ihm durch die Bildung von neuen Gedanken denkend nahezukommen. Eine Voraussetzung für das Erkennen unbewußter Prozesse und eine Voraussetzung, um dieses Buch lesen und verstehen zu können, ist die »negative Fähigkeit«, das heißt die Fähigkeit, Unsicherheit zu ertragen. Gedanken entstehen als erstes, sagt Bion; das Denken der Gedanken ist etwas zweites. Die Vorläufer der Gedanken aber sind die emotionalen Erfahrungen; ihre unbekannte Gestalt und Eigenschaft gilt es zu entdecken. Sind wir vorschnell mit Namen und Begriffen, mit Denkmodellen und Theorien zur Hand, so nehmen wir der unbekannten emotionalen Erfahrung die Möglichkeit, in uns Gestalt zu gewinnen.. (Erika Krejci)"

Spiritual Assessment in Healthcare Practice
by Professor Wilfred McSherry
There has been a groundswell of interest in and recognition of the importance the spiritual part of a person's life has to play in coping with/recovery from illness as well as in the attainment and maintenance of health, wellbeing and quality of life. Addressing the spiritual part of life is now a key part of the health care professional's job but this raises the question of how this part of life can be assessed and catered for and how health care professionals might be equipped for this task. Wilf McSherry and Linda Ross's new edited text tackles this very issue with contributors from different disciplines (including nursing, medicine, theology and chaplaincy) and countries (UK, USA, Malta) offering their own perspectives on this important part of care. Each chapter, therefore, has its own unique style but is concerned with one outcome, to see spiritual assessment and care as an integral part of holistic care whatever the setting. Contents include: Introduction - Linda Ross & Wilfred McSherry Why the increasing interest in spirituality within healthcare? - Linda Ross The meanings of spirituality: a multi-perspectival approach to 'the spiritual' - John Swinton Recognising spiritual needs - Aru Narayanasamy Spiritual Assessment: definition, categorisation and features - Wilfred McSherry The spiritual history: an essential element of patient centred care - Christina Puchalski Indicator based and value clarification tools - Donia Baldacchino Assessing and improving the quality of spiritual care - Mark Cobb Dilemmas of spiritual assessment - Chris Johnson Considerations for the future of Spiritual Assessment - Linda Ross and Wilf McSherry

CricketJuly 2013Real Jeeves, The
The Cricketer Who Gave His Life for His Country and His Name to a Legend
by Brian Halford
The Real Jeeves tells the story of a young cricketer whose glorious life was snuffed out, but whose name will live forever. Plucked from country-house cricket, all-rounder Percy Jeeves was to outshine the Golden Age's greats over two seasons with Warwickshire, clean bowling Jack Hobbs, hitting Wilfred Rhodes for six and outclassing England captain Plum Warner. In September 1914, Jeeves bowled Warwickshire to victory over champions Surrey. It was his 50th first-class match - and his last. The Real Jeeves traces Percy's life from idyllic childhood via county cricket into the nightmare of war. Excerpts from battalion diaries detail the horrors of the Western Front, and ultimately his demise on the Somme. Yet Percy Jeeves' name lived on thanks to PG Wodehouse, who saw him play at Cheltenham in 1913 and was so impressed he noted the name for a character who shared the modest Yorkshireman's immaculate conduct and appearance.

The Biography of Trevor Bailey
by Alan Hill
Three times an Ashes winner, Trevor Bailey is regarded next to Ian Botham as England’s premier all-rounder since the Second World War. He was a schoolboy prodigy at Dulwich College and won cricket and soccer blues at Cambridge University and an FA Amateur Cup winners’ medal with Walthamstow in 1951-2. At the heart of the story is the fighting spirit of a loyalist who served England – and his home county, Essex – so well in a crisis. He was at his greatest when tensions ran high, especially in one of the most celebrated of rearguard actions against Australia at Lord’s in 1953. Bailey played in 61 Tests in which he became then only the second Englishman after Wilfred Rhodes to score 2,000 runs and take 100 wickets. His cricket acumen in retirement brought him to the attention of another, listening public as a broadcaster on the BBC’s Test Match Special programme.

October 2020Leonard Cohen, The Untold Stories
The Early Years, Volume One
by Michael Posner
Artist, poet, novelist, singer-songwriter, icon – there has never been a figure like Leonard Cohen. He was a truly international sensation, entertaining and inspiring the world with his art. From his groundbreaking and bestselling novels, Beautiful Losers and The Favourite Game, to timeless songs such as “Suzanne” and “Hallelujah,” Cohen is one of the world’s most cherished artists. His death in 2016 was felt around the world by the legion of fans and fellow artists who would miss his warmth, humor, intellect, and piercing insights. Leonard Cohen, The Untold Stories follows the great man as he travels the globe developing his style and enigmatic character. This is the story of his early years, from boyhood in Montreal, university, and his growing career in to the 60s that took him to the world’s stage. It probes his public and private life, through the words of those who knew him best: his family and friends, colleagues and contemporaries, rivals, business partners, and his many lovers. From Montreal to Greece, London to Paris and New York, Cohen touched lives everywhere. It's also a snapshot of a golden era – the times that helped foster his talents and successes. In this revealing and entertaining first of three planned volumes, bestselling author and biographer Michael Posner draws on dozens of interviews to present a uniquely true and compelling portrait of Cohen – as if we’re right there beside him, overhearing a private conversation in a New York café.
