Punk: the filth and the fury. But it was so much more than that. In The History of Punk Music, author Stephen Palmer depicts the punk rock explosion of 1976-77 in tired, bored, and socially stratified Britain. Emerging from the litter-strewn streets of London, punk''s music expressed the suppressed anger of young working-class people with nowhere to go and nothing meaningful to do. Its music was raw and shocking. Its fashion mocked staid middle-class values. Its art was expressed in cut-outs and by sprayed graffiti. Yet beneath this sudden explosion, frightening to those of the establishment who witnessed it, incomprehensible to white-collar workers commuting to and from work, lay a philosophy of individual creative expression and an ethic of anti-racism and liberation for women. Punk in its original form was a movement of human liberation, a Year Zero moment in the history of a nation more used to colonial exploits and a vast empire. It spoke of fury, of hopelessness, of cathartic anger expressed through visceral, exciting, revolutionary music. Its visual images captured the gaze of the nation, and soon the world. And all of its central figures yelled, hammered and smashed the doors of the Establishment. This book charts the origins, appearance, development and ending of punk. It is a book of passion and vivid description, befitting the individual visions of the original punk musicians. Punk was filthy and furious, yet it was also a new dawn for the British music scene.

The constellation we know as Taurus goes all the way back to cave paintings of aurochs at Lascaux. In I Am Taurus, author Stephen Palmer traces the story of the bull in the sky, starting from that point 19,000 years ago - a journey through the history of what has become known as the sacred bull. Each of the eleven sections is written from the perspective of the mythical Taurus, from the beginning at Lascaux to Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Greece, Spain and elsewhere. This is not just a history of the bull but also an attempt to see ourselves through the eyes of the bull, illustrating our pre-literate use of myth, how the advent of writing and the urban revolution changed our view of ourselves, and how even the most modern of rituals - bullfighting in Spain - is a variation on the ancient sacrifice of the sacred bull.

But it is within herself that the real danger lies... Book two in the Conjuror Girl trilogy, a most peculiar adventure through a fantastical alternative fin de siècle Britain where the darkest creations are those that come from within.

Scrisă de specialiști cu mulți ani de experiență, cartea prezintă abordarea comportamentală rațional-emotivă pentru terapia stresului, atât de necesară în perioada actuală. Numeroase studii de caz oferă posibilitatea de a lega teoria de practică, oferindu-le cititorilor cadrul conceptual și metoda științifică a gândirii raționale, pentru a‑i ajuta astfel să‑și diminueze distresul (suferința psihică) și să‑și atingă obiectivele personale. Cele nouă capitole acoperă terapia individuală, precum și terapia de grup și antrenamentul de gestionare a stresului în contexte organizaționale. Având o acoperire cuprinzătoare, cartea include materiale suplimentare despre tehnici precum antrenamentul abilităților, metode de relaxare, hipnoză și biofeedback. În primul rând, concentrați‑vă asupra setului de „trebuie" al clientului. Întrebați „De ce trebuie să reușești?" Este foarte probabil să nu poată să vă răspundă la întrebarea pe care i‑ați adresat‑o. În schimb, răspunsul pe care probabil îl veți obține va fi ceva de genul „Pentru că vreau!"; „Va merita să reușesc". Îi puteți sublinia apoi clientului că nu a fost întrebat de ce își dorește să reușească, în sensul de ce ar fi preferabil, ci de ce trebuie neapărat să reușească. Singurul răspuns corect la întrebarea „De ce trebuie să reușești?" este: „Nu există niciun motiv pentru care trebuie să reușesc, deși aș prefera să fie așa." - Autorii Dacă umorul este folosit terapeutic, este important ca acest lucru să fie făcut în spiritul acceptării necondiționate a clientului, iar intervențiile umoristice să fie îndreptate către Credințele Iraționale ale clientului și către emoțiile și acțiunile autodistructive ale acestuia, și nu către clientul însuși. În acest caz, la fel ca peste tot, terapeuții ar trebui să încerce să fie suficient de flexibili în abordarea terapeutică, astfel încât să poată să varieze stilul de intervenție pentru a‑și atinge obiectivele terapeutice și pentru a‑și maximiza relațiile terapeutice cu anumiți clienți. - Autorii

There is one city left, and soon that will be gone, for the streets of Kray are crumbling beneath a wave of exotic and lethal vegetation as it creeps south, threatening to wipe out the last traces of humanity. In the desperate struggle for survival most Krayans live from day to day, awaiting salvation from their goddesses or the government. Only a few believe that the future might lie in their own hands. Zinina, having fled from the Citadel, determined to discover what secrets are buried beneath it... Arrahaquen, daughter of a member of the all-powerful Red Brigade, whose privileged position makes her insurgency all the more dangerous... Graaf-lin, channelling the prophecies of the Eastcity serpents and racing against time to infiltrate the city''s computer networks before they collapse... And a man, deKray, whose sudden appearance accompanies a startling sequence of events... Set in a world both deadly and fascinating, the 25th anniversary edition of Memory Seed is a compelling first novel which brought a powerful new voice to science fiction. "Memory Seed flowers into a very convincing and entertaining first novel. The sense of location is particularly well realised, with the wretched overrun streets, the lost quarters of the city and the impinging ruin depicted particularly vividly... This attractive voice, coupled with a complex and fascinating plot and a simple but stylish book design, makes Memory Seed a notable debut novel." -SFX "The exotic horticulture is as inventive as anything in Aldiss'' classic Hothouse, and parallels with present environmental concerns aren''t bludgeoned home... Palmer is a find." -Time Out "Memory Seed is a speculative novel of the distant future that extrapolates many of today''s environmental and New Age concerns into an enjoyable thriller about human survival against the odds. Stephen Palmer has concocted a beguiling adventure that draws on some of the best sf of recent years for its basic themes, yet also adds just as much to the genre''s melting-pot of ideas." -Starburst

After completing his second and final term as governor of Mississippi at age fifty, Jeff Ackerman is seeking direction for the next stage in his life. On a whim, Ackerman decides to run for president in the 2016 election against incumbent Democrat Upton Landers. Landers is a reasonably popular sitting president during a time of peace and a stable economy. The well-known Republican politicians elect to sit on the sidelines for the election, implicitly conceding re-election to Landers. This leaves the Republican field open to squishy moderates, has-beens, and never-have-beens such as Jeff Ackerman.The Unlikely Candidate takes the reader on a thought-provoking and sometimes infuriating journey into the Oval Office, Air Force One, a New York City newsroom, the pulpit of an African-American church in Detroit, and the headquarters of an agribusiness conglomerate in Iowa. One part political commentary, one part media criticism, and one part Christian apologetic, this novel prioritizes ideas and ideals. Author Stephen Palmer weaves various threads into a compelling, fast-moving narrative that keeps the reader thinking while anxiously turning pages.After a successful twenty-year legal career, Stephen Palmer retired from a major international law firm at age 46 in order to focus on writing and public speaking. He''s originally from Jackson, Mississippi and now lives in Marietta, Georgia with his wife Jennifer and their two daughters. Visit www.sdpalmer.net to learn more about the author.

Roka however is much more feisty than Kora, and far less obliging. Soon she is caught up in street politics, disorder and protest - and all without Kora''s knowledge. With the agents of Sir Tantalus closing in, Kora and Roka must survive in their new circumstances and with their friends uncover the sequence of events leading to the incarceration in Bedlam; for although Kora is an illegitimate nobody, it seems her upbringing was devised to meet an enigmatic and ghastly end...

The idea came from my childhood - I used to dress up as my favorite action-figure and run around the neighborhood pretending I was that toy. I wanted to run with this idea of imagination - a boy with his imagination. However, I had another passion - education. I truly wanted to show young souls how much fun it could be to learn about topics such as History with just a touch of imagination. So I created Billy - a young boy eager to travel not just to different places, but to different time periods. Kids will enjoy flipping each page, seeing the beautiful colors, characters and events that formulated our world. Billy uses his trusty Time Machine to take kids to these places, teaching them everything they need to know. Best part is, the books are interactive, as I have added fun games and trivia in the back of every book, just like I remember ruining the lovely books my mother bought for me, scribbling in them as a young child. With Infinite Travels, you don''t need to worry about that. The kids can color and fun as well as learn in the process. The overall idea was to have fun with this particular project of SP Productions. We want to make sure every product of ours moves our consumers.
