Real Cambridge
Cambridge: the right brain of Oxbridge, the composite capital city of Clever. For eight centuries, this quiet English city has been one half of history's longest-running academic arms-race, stockpiling Nobel Prizes like other places store nuclear warheads. For the title of the most intelligent place on Planet Earth, only the two Ivy League newcomers, Harvard and Yale, come close. This flat East Anglian fenland community is where Wittgenstein split hairs and where Rutherford split the atom; where Newton sought God through science, and where Darwin found that science was God; where Watson and Crick discovered the DNA that shapes our bodies, and where generations of students push those bodies t...
The Big Book of Cardiff
An anthology of writing about Cardiff, celebrating 50 years since the city was made Wales' capital. This work includes contributions from some of the finest writers in Britain, all of whom have something personal and original to say about the city, both in English and in translation from the Welsh - Niall Griffiths, Dannie Abse, and others.
A Darker Way
Grahame Davies's A Darker Way ?is a collection of poems and songs which traces a hard-won but redemptive path between idealism and irony, failure and faith. Including ' Sacred Fire', set to music for King Charles' coronation, these poems are steeped in curiosity, self-questioning and compassion.
The Presentation Coach
You probably hate giving presentations. You probably hate listening to them too. Why? Because most business presentations are too long, too detailed, too boring...and submerged under a blizzard of PowerPoint. But the single most important presentational tool known to man isn't a slideshow. It's you. Whether you're speaking to one person across a table, 20 people in a boardroom or 1,000 people in a ballroom, it's all about the words you say and how you say them. The Presentation Coach shows you how to use what you've already got to give you clarity, confidence and impact in every speaking challenge you will ever face. You'll learn the unique Bare Knuckle 5-step process to effective presenting...
Real Wrexham
A distinctive observation on the town of Wrexham in the characteristic 'Real' series style. It mixes personal experience and memory with history, topography and journaism. A theme of the account is Wrexham as a frontier; the frontier of two languages, Wales and England, rural and urban society, etc. It also focuses on Wrexham football, lager and other revelations.
Real Powys
Observant, passionate, witty, offbeat, Mike Parker tours Powys from the border towns of Hay on Wye, Presteigne and Knighton, through the interior and on to the furthest points of Newtown, Penybont, Ystradgynlais and Brecon. What surprises does he stumble upon among the mountains, forests, streams and farms of this mysterious countryside?
Lightning Beneath the Sea
Already well-known for his prizewinning Welsh-language poetry and fiction, and for his scholarly non-fiction, Grahame Davies has now produced his first collection of poems in English. Using a native warmth and an intimate, conversational tone, his poems are as concerned with character and relationships as they are with wider cultural matters.
Everything Must Change
This poignant first novel is about social conscience and radical activism in the modern world. It intercuts the story of twentieth century French philosopher and radical activist, Simone Weil, with a fictional twenty-first century Welsh language campaigner, Meinwen Jones. The self-denying, ascetic lives of both women are portrayed with gentle clarity, and the novel travels between the humanising of dissent and the cold politics of acute social conscience.The often uncomfortable political realities for a culture fighting for the survival of a Welsh identity are depicted from the inside and the harsh choices facing its long-time defenders explored unflinchingly. In a prison cell, Meinwen finds herself on the verge of following Simone's passionate asceticism to its logical conclusion. This is a translation of Rhaid i Bopeth Newydd, which was longlisted for the Welsh Book of the Year in 2004.
The Bloodaxe Book of Modern Welsh Poetry
Welsh is the oldest surviving Celtic language, and the most flourishing. For around fifteen centuries Welsh poets have expressed an intense awareness of what it is like to be human in this part of the world in poems of extraordinary range and depth. And despite the global tendency towards homogenisation, Welsh poets have fought back, drawing inspiration from both the traditional and the contemporary to forge a new and rainbow-like modernism. This wide-ranging anthology of 20th-century Welsh-language poetry in English translation - by far the most comprehensive of its kind - will be a revelation for most readers. It will dispel the romantic images of Welsh poets as bards or druids and blow aw...
