After many years writing books, stories and poetry, it has gradually dawned on me that I had not come across any book that gave, not only a fine collection of poems, but also contained a useful textbook that informed the reader of the skills used by the author in composing their extensive range of well-constructed work. I also felt that it would be interesting and useful if authors had added a note or two about where the idea for some of their poems had emerged.This poetry collection of mine is sprinkled with such titbits. The textbook serves to lead the reader through the basics of poetry and gives clear explanations for rhyme and meter that are essential for many, but not all, forms of poem. I have clearly described the construction of twenty-eight different forms including Sonnet, Ballad, Sestina, Haiku, Limerick, Cinquain, Luc Bat , free verse, blank verse, and many more.In the final part of the textbook, I have given the reader the whole of an anonymous ballad together with a complete dissection of its form and structure, poetic techniques, figures of speech, mood tone and impact and its summary and meaning.I believe that my book gives enough data and explanation to satisfy the needs of an aspiring poet, or indeed anyone who enjoys poems but wants to understand them a little better.

The current book is a short synopsis of Professional Doctorates (DProf) programs. It provides a practical illustration of the content of these programs, how they are structured, how to craft the required dissertations and how students can succeed in these programs. Mostly tailored for professionals in advanced practice, DProf and the cognate programs of DProf by Publications (or Public Works) are growing in popularity as they offer candidates the opportunity to merge practical experience with academic skills. DProf programmes enhance work-based learning and reflective practice skills while implementing scholarly works. This book, shaped as a practical study guide, describes the major aspects of DProf programmes, how to create a successful thesis and how to be effective in extracting scholarly research from candidates' daily practice. Therefore, the Masters and Doctorates in Professional Practice (MProf/DProf) emphasise study inquiry in a professional setting while fostering critical reflection and career advancement through practice-based research projects. DProf postgraduate programs encourage a reflective approach into candidates' settings of practice to develop projects and policies to change these settings and advance the quality of services provided to their customers or clients. Methodologies and methods for creating DProf dissertations and research are discussed in detail such as modes of knowledge production, reflectivity, reflexivity, critical incident analysis, middle-range theories, qualitative inquiry, reflective cycles and autoethnography.

A la Carte, poetry from a bipolar mind. This is a debut collection of poetry, thoughtful, deep sometimes humorous I write mainly about mental health, love, and lost love. I especially like emotional dark pieces that pack a punch and somewhat old-fashioned romance! I use a pen name sometimes 'the manic poet' I also introduce the semi colon into my work, it's a mental health symbol meaning survival, i e an author could have used a full stop but decided to carry on instead. 'Gold and silver' another metaphor also make some appearances.

This book, which is the fourth edition of the Eigen Theory of the Physical World, presents the eigen theory of the natural physical world of geometrical origin the principal feature of which happens to be the proper form of dark matter. According to this theory the fundamental form of a particle of matter is a continuous distribution of points that forms a manifold of its own. Each of these points results from the intersection of a corresponding pair of eigen velocity vectors that generate the wave aspect of the wave-particle duality of matter. The theory evolves in three stages. The first stage develops the pair of eigen velocity vectors. These vectors are complete with their own field of a pair of symmetric and antisymmetric tensors characteristic of gravitation and electromagnetism respectively. The second stage transforms the wave aspect into its very opposite, the particle aspect, as a pair of particles that are the progenitors of proton and electron. The base manifolds of these particles are made up of the proper form dark matter. The third stage brings together proton and electron as the Hydrogen atom which in effect is the proper particle aspect of the wave-particle duality of matter. In the eigen theory General Relativity becomes complete and Quantum Mechanics gets restructured; in particular the principle of uncertainty ceases to exist.

This is a book to help children understand our universe a little more, now I have found that in a child's mind, fact and fiction can be one and the same thing. It's only when we grow up that the fiction fades and the facts become all too real. We must learn not to blind children with science, but to open their eyes so they see for themselves all the wonders it holds. With fiction, we must allow a child's mind to explore for itself all the wonders of freedom of thought. So hopefully, I have combined just enough of both to keep a child interested, while also teaching them a little about our solar system, so that they will want to go on and read more.I believe as an adult, the best thing to hear in life is children laughing and, as a child, the best thing is a good bedtime story. So this book is ideal for mums and dads to read together with their children. And when the child asks for facts, they are there within the story, along with lots of new little alien characters for the children to discover and follow in all their adventures.

Cyril Pustan lived an extraordinary life. He was born into an Orthodox Jewish household in London in 1929 where his father was a refugee from the pogroms in Ukraine, and his mother a London born daughter of refugees from earlier pogroms in Germany and Russia. He wrote about the blitz and evacuation. He paints a vivid picture of life during and after World War II and the deficiencies in the education system. He left school at 14 with no qualifications and became a plumber. He became politically active at 16 in the Communist Party and Trade Union movement. He participated in iconic peace events and marches of the 1950's and 1960's including the 1961 San Francisco to Moscow March for Peace where he was arrested, deported, and was present at the building of the Berlin Wall. He had tea with Mrs Khrushchev at the height of the Cold War. He married the mother of the World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer, Regina Fischer, and was one of the few British citizens who emigrated to live behind the Iron Curtain in East Germany in 1962. He may have fallen under suspicion as a spy on both sides. He found work as a master welder but was recruited to teach at the Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena to scientists and doctors to help them better understand English. He developed a technique to teach English through the use of Folk Songs. He wrote a book, produced and sang on a record, recorded stories for the visually impaired, acted in a film, and was portrayed in the 2014 film about Bobby Fischer, "Pawn Sacrifice", by Shawn Campbell. His life and death were shrouded in mystery for over 40 years until his papers and personal effects were found in a box in the loft following the death of his sister Ella in March 2021. This biography has been collated by interspersing his writings with accounts of others about him, and placing it in the context of the world in which the events he participated in took place. He was not a bystander, but an activist who went against conventional wisdom and lived by his values. This is the story of How Uncle Cyril Saved the World.
