Michael Williams
None
Meal Ticket
Accused of rape and faced with hostility from all sides, Michael Williams was found guilty by the media and police before his day in court. This is the story of one man's fight to prove his innocence, set against a backdrop of institutionally racist modern day Britain, a fable for our times.
On the Slow Train
Never was the sadness of the end of an affair so poignantly expressed than in Flanders and Swann's elegy The Slow Train. This beautifully-packaged book will take the reader on the slow train to another era when travel meant more than hurrying from one place to the next, the journey meaning nothing but time lost in crowded carriages, condemned by broken timetables. On the Slow Train will reconnect with that long-missed need to lift our heads from the daily grind and reflect that there are still places in Britain where we can stop and stare. It will tap into many things: a love of railways, a love of history, and a love of nostalgia. This book will be a paean to another age before milk churns, porters, and cats on seats were replaced by security announcements and Burger King. These twelve spectacular journeys will help free us from what Baudelaire denounced as "the horrible burden of time."
The War for Talent
'There is a war for the best managerial and professional talent', writes Michael Williams. Commercial success depends largely on attracting, motivating and retaining high performers who can drive the business forward. Companies that get it wrong soon find competitors swooping in. The War for Talent helps employers to: - spot individuals with outstanding talent or potential; - mobilise and distribute widely the vital corporate store of intellectual capital; - coach and mentor key players so as to empower them to achieve early results; - put together reward packages high-flyers expect; and - keep talented employees enthusiastic, committed and delivering. This text sets out principles and powerful self-assessment profiles so that readers can pinpoint their skills and areas of improvement.
Michael Williams: Traditional Cornish Cottages
The fifth of Michael Williams' (born 1978) artist's books with Karma, this volume focuses on drawings of faces and figures partially obscured by a uniform-size image of a browser window open at a lifestyle or commerce website. These images are interspersed with sequences of entirely black and entirely white pages, creating a flickering effect--like rapidly clicking through one's user history.
The Trains Now Departed
A richly observed and researched personal history of the bygone age of Britain's railways. SOMETIMES you come across a lofty railway viaduct, marooned in the middle of a remote country landscape. Or a crumbling platform from some once-bustling junction buried under the buddleia. If you are lucky you might be able to follow some rusting tracks, or explore an old tunnel leading to...well, who knows where? Listen hard. Is that the wind in the undergrowth? Or the spectre of a train from a golden era of the past panting up the embankment? These are the ghosts of "The Trains Now Departed." They are the railway lines, and services that ran on them that have disappeared and gone forever. Our lost le...
Lines of Flight
Galileo Nodding a head without a hair As if Truth at last was found He went to and fro in a rocking chair And the world went round and round Lines of Flight is a collection of lyrical poems, ranging from the compassionate and philosophical to the emotional and funny. Each poem has its own rhythms: the spacing between the words adds to the overall meaning both on the page and when read aloud. You cannot walk round the poems, like a piece of sculpture, nor can you walk away from them. They come into existence as poems precisely at the point of communicating with the reader. The themes of birds and flight form a leitmotif throughout the collection. The image of a bird in flight also has symboli...
Stay Woke
A simple, no-nonsense guide to change your life and take hold of your dreams “I have a confession,” writes author Justin Michael Williams. “This is not really a meditation book.” Yes, Williams is going to teach you everything you need to know about meditation—but if you came looking for a typical book on mindfulness, you’re in the wrong place. Stay Woke is FOR THE PEOPLE. All people, of all backgrounds deserve to have access to the information they need to change their lives. And if you grew up in struggle—overcoming homophobia, anxiety, sexism, depression, poverty, toxic masculinity, racism, or trauma—you need a different type of meditation . . . one that doesn’t pretend t...
On the Slow Train Again
Michael Williams has spent the past year traveling along the fascinating rail byways of Britain for this new collection of journeys. Here is the "train to the end of the world" running for more than four splendid hours through lake, loch, and moorland from Inverness to Wick, the most northerly town in Britain. He discovers a perfect country branch line in London's commuterland, and travels on one of the slowest services in the land along the shores of the lovely Dovey estuary to the far west of Wales. He takes the stopping train across the Pennines on a line with so few services that its glorious scenery is a secret known only to the regulars. Here, too, is the Bittern Line in Norfolk and th...
