Hannah A: I Killed the King / B

I Killed the King

'Of course I'm starting my screenplay. I'm just going to Hoover the stairs first.'If you are at all interested in the nuts and bolts of story-telling and the curious workings of the entertainment industry, then this is the most informative, inspiring and funniest book on writing you will ever read, by someone who's been nominated for every showbiz award going (and then lost them all).Covering four decades in an ever-changing industry, John O'Farrell shares his writing journey from unsolicited radio sketches to huge Broadway musicals, crafting stories that have made people laugh, cry or sneak out to the pub in the interval. Here he reveals the inside secrets of every genre from sketches to sitcoms, novels to screenplays - as John kept swapping industries just before they noticed the missing Post-It Notes.Maybe If I Changed The Font? is packed with invaluable advice on structure, character, theme as well as guidance on how to get your work read by professionals and produced to great acclaim from millions - or maybe just several members of your family - you never know which way it's going to go. But you must read this book before you start - it's the perfect avoidance.'The most honest book about writing I have ever read' William Shakespeare

Some Things I Learned Writing Every Genre Except Poetry and Panto

Maybe If I Changed The Font?

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on 4 years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Little Clothbound Classics

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas, and essays from the world’s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. In these elegant and devastating tales of deception, desire, and social intrigue, Edith Wharton exposes the brittle veneer of civility that masks human ambition and longing. From the sunlit terraces of Rome to the drawing rooms of New York, Wharton’s characters navigate a world bound by class and convention yet charged with emotional undercurrents they barely understand. In “Roman Fever,” two middle-aged women confront the unspoken rivalries that have shadowed their friendship for decades; in “Mrs. Manstey’s View,” a lonely widow’s cherished glimpse of life beyond her window becomes the stage for a quiet tragedy; and in “After Holbein,” the elaborate pretenses of two aging New Yorkers reveal the haunting persistence of vanity and illusion. These Wharton works are the latest to join the Little Clothbound Classic series designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Roman Fever

The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.

Global Challenges in the Environmental Humanities

This open access edited volume acknowledges that when judges adjudicate climate change issues, their decisions are shaped by far more than positive law. Adopting a pluriversal, socio-legal and multidisciplinary approach, chapters engage with an array of 'extra-legal' factors that inform what happens inside courtrooms, of relevance for climate action more broadly. These factors include judges' psychology; who is appointed as a judge and how that process is designed; legal culture and philosophy; who litigates and how litigation strategies are designed; literature; counter-hegemonic knowledge production; political ecology; climate anxiety; and climate science. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Newcastle Law School (United Kingdom), the Department of Land Economy, Cambridge and Queens' College, Cambridge.

Exploring Extra-Legal Factors

Adjudicating Climate Change

Why do organizations keep causing harm? And how do we cure toxic cultures? "A timely, rigorous, and deeply unsettling book."—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization Not a week goes by with out yet another major organizational scandal: Open AI’s agents going rogue, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating, Boeing’s persistent safety issues, endemic police misconduct at the Oakland PD, and sexual abuse at yet another Roman Catholic Church. So why do do organizations keep causing these harms? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond leadership and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Facebook sought to grow from 1 billion to 5 billion users, leading it to enter Myanmar’s volatile ethnic context without having the knowledge or capacity to do proper content moderation, and thus contributing to genocide.</li><li>Don Parus, a BP engineer made an all-out effort to warn company leaders to invest in safety, just months before a major explosion killed fiteen and injured hundreds at its Texas City Refinery.</li><li>Keith Batt, a rookie at the Oakland Police Department, was made to witness, condone and participate in falsifying arrest records, planting evidence, and even in unsanctioned violence, all within two weeks on the job.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, engaging, and unsettling, Toxic breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

Write Your Own Fan Fiction

One of the great works of fiction to emerge from World War I, featuring an introduction by Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes A Penguin Classic Consisting of four novels—Some Do Not . . ., No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up,&nbsp;and The Last Post—Parade's End is the story of Christopher Tietjens and his journey from the secure world of Edwardian England into World War I and beyond. Both a portrait of a love triangle—among Tietjens; his beautiful and reckless wife, Sylvia; and the suffragette Valentine—and a depiction of life on the Western Front, Parade's End is one of the greatest fictional works of the twentieth century. Ranging from the drawing rooms of England to the trenches of France and moving between past and present, it is a haunting exploration of identity, loss, and memory.

Antique Hunter's Series

The third novel in the “delightful, page-turning” (Tom Ryan, USA TODAY bestselling author) Antique Hunter Series finds Freya, Aunt Carole, and friends searching for a missing colleague in picturesque Scotland. Hot on the heels of an art forger, a member of the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency disappears while investigating an isolated castle deep in Scottish countryside. Freya and Aunt Carole race to her last known location and arrive in the wintry, snow-covered Scottish Borders. At the castle, they discover that a murdered laird in the vegetable garden and his priceless collection of silverware has been stolen. Local police believe Freya’s missing team member was involved with the robbery and murder...but where is she now? As a snowstorm descends on the castle, Freya and Carole call in back-up to help uncover what happened that fateful night. As each question is met with more mystery, the clock is ticking to find their friend and the murderer before they are cut off from the outside world. Another delightfully gripping and endearing mystery, the Antique Hunter’s Series provides “great characters, great story, and you’re always eager for the next one” (Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants).
