Spurling Jon: Highbury / B

Highbury

The Definitive History of Arsenal at Highbury Stadium

The Life of an Evolutionary Naturalist

Enchanted by Daphne

A Japanese researcher in psychology sets out to measure loneliness while drawing on her own experience of autism. A quirky boy growing up in 1950s Ottawa sows the seeds of his future Hollywood stardom. In the US, a non-verbal man explores body language, gesture by eloquent gesture, in his mother''s yoga classes. Nine Minds delves into the extraordinary lives of nine neurodivergent men and women from around the globe. From a Fields Medal-winning mathematician to a murder detective, a pioneering surgeon to a bestselling novelist, each is remarkable in their field, and each is changing how the world sees those on the spectrum.Exploding the tired stereotypes of autism, Daniel Tammet - acclaimed author and an autistic savant himself - reaches across the divides of age, gender, sexuality and nationality to draw out the inner worlds of his subjects. Telling stories as richly diverse as the spectrum itself, this illuminating, life-affirming work of narrative nonfiction celebrates the power and beauty of the neurodivergent mind, and the daring freedom with which these individuals have built their lives.

Inner Lives on the Spectrum - THE INSTANT BESTSELLER

Nine Minds

Jewish Lives

The first biography in more than three decades of the Austrian-born thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century &nbsp; According to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951), philosophy is a “battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.” This audacious idea changed the way many of its practitioners saw their subject. In the first biography of Wittgenstein in more than three decades, Anthony Gottlieb evaluates this revolutionary idea, explaining the evolution of Wittgenstein’s thought and his place in the history of philosophy. &nbsp; Wittgenstein was born into an immensely rich Viennese family but yearned to live a simple life, and he gave away his inheritance. After studying with Bertrand Russell in Cambridge, he wrote his famous Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus while serving in World War I. He then took several positions as a primary-school teacher in rural Austria before returning as a fellow to Cambridge, where a cultlike following developed around him. Wittgenstein worked not only as a philosopher and schoolteacher, but also as an aeronautical engineer in Manchester and as an architect in Vienna. &nbsp; Gottlieb’s meticulously researched book traces the itinerant and troubled life of Wittgenstein, the development of his influential ideas, and the Viennese intellectual milieu and family background that shaped him.

Philosophy in the Age of Airplanes

Ludwig Wittgenstein

I began to think about the forces at play, not just within me, but beyond me. What if my life hasn''t fallen apart in the way that it has because of ''treatment-resistant mental illness'', as I''ve been led to believe, but because of the treatment itself? At age thirteen, Laura Delano''s parents took her to her first psychiatrist. At school, she was the model student but at home she felt an uncontrollable rage that she unleashed on family, friends and herself. She was promptly diagnosed with bipolar disorder and began a course of psychiatric drugs. For the next fourteen years, , Laura became a ''professional mental patient'', collecting an expanding catalogue of diagnoses and living appointment to appointment. Prescribed a medication cascade of twenty-one drugs, she embraced the regime in the hope it would bring her stability, peace and treatment for what she''d been convinced was an incurable, lifelong disease. But as her symptoms got more severe and untenable, with each new drug always countering the consequences of the last, she was eventually deemed ''treatment resistant'', and began to wonder if the drugs and diagnoses were the cure - or had they become the problem? Weaving together her medical records and doctors'' notes with illuminating research, Unshrunk is a record of Laura''s battle to disentangle herself from the all-powerful mental health system. It was a decision that would require her to leave behind the only life she knew, to peel back the layers of diagnoses and drugs and discover her true self again: her ''personality, vitality, creativity, sense of humour; the simple state of being awake to the world''. Beautifully written, insightful and probing, it is both a moving memoir and powerful rebuke of the commercial psychiatric industry, which often does not seem to have the interests of its patients at its heart.

A really moving and heart-rending story. Unshrunk will help and empower so many people. Johann Hari, author of Stolen Focus and Lost Connections Unshrunk is the story of a young woman who dared to be herself, and a potent reminder of why human suffering can never be reduced to a diagnostic manual. A must read for anyone probing the dark side of mental health treatment. Anna Lembke, author of Dopamine Nation In this gripping, essential memoir, Laura Delano takes readers through the labyrinth of the American mental health system, where 'the best available care' left her sicker, more desperate, and more lost than ever before. As she deftly weaves the history of psychiatry with her own harrowing odyssey out of its grip, Delano's clarity and compassion are awe-inspiring. This beautiful, rageful, joyful book is a beacon for all seeking a life beyond labels, beyond medication, beyond disorder. Jessica Nordell, author of The End of Bias: A Beginning I began to think about the forces at play, not just within me, but beyond me. What if my life hadn't fallen apart in the way that it had because of 'treatment-resistant mental illness', as I'd been led to believe, but because of the treatment itself? At age fourteen, Laura Delano's parents took her to her first psychiatrist. At school, she was the model student, but at home Laura felt an uncontrollable rage that she unleashed on family, friends and herself. She was promptly diagnosed with bipolar disorder and started on a course of mood stabilizers and antidepressants. It was to mark the beginning of a painful and relentless journey. For the next thirteen years, Laura sought help from the best psychiatrists and hospitals, accumulating an ever-expanding list of diagnoses and prescriptions for nineteen different drugs. She accepted her diagnoses and embraced the pharmaceutical regime she'd been told was necessary to manage her incurable, lifelong disease. But as her symptoms only got more severe and eventually she was deemed 'treatment resistant', Laura began to wonder if the drugs and diagnoses were the cure - or had they become the problem? Weaving together Laura's medical records and doctors' notes with illuminating research on the drugs she was prescribed, Unshrunk is the powerful memoir of one woman's battle against the commercial psychiatric industry and the role it plays in shaping what it means to be human.

THE VISUALIST is an entertaining memoir, an experiential narrative, and tale that allows the pop culture fan, filmmaker to be, or budding academic a world view into a mind engaged, an unfiltered dive into image making and narrative for multiple mediums across multiple platforms. The Visualist: Storytelling, Process and Image Making from 1983-2020: MTV to Hollywood, Madison Avenue to the New Digital Era - A visual memoir by Mark Pellington A personal history and first-hand account of image making with amazing pop-culture icons, The Visualist offers a rare narrative of Pellington's creative process, cultural memory, and unique aesthetic experience to inspire creativity across all visual media. The Visualist is a survival guide for image making and storytelling for screen--from iPhone image blasts to IMAX size 360-degree tour visuals--images tell stories, evoke feelings, and leave lasting impressions. And only in The Visualist does Pellington share this hard-earned knowledge. Mark Pellington opens the curtain in this one-of-a-kind art book, photo book, director's memoir, and scrapbook to reveal his Master Videographer's unique and creative prowess in the world of image making, starting with his achievements in the realm of music videos from the birth of the genre in 1983 through the new technologies of 2017. Pellington shares his insights into what makes visual storytelling work: uncanny narrative instincts, revealing personal anecdotes, the structure of powerful images, first-hand telling of countless A-list collaborations, the toll and goal of making an emotional impact, successes and failures in conflict resolution, how and why to access the subconscious, and his unique perspective on balancing the clarity and ambiguity of visual meaning. Obsessed with the role of images and how they mesmerize, entertain, and entice--self-taught and untrained, filmmaker Mark Pellington has navigated the changing landscapes and fickle tastes of multi-media over his 36 years in the entertainment arts industry having directed an impressive 70 music videos, 9 movies, 20 TV episodes, and 6 documentaries among other productions. Through it all Pellington has matured, survived, sometimes thrived, sometimes struggled but always created as an image maker, image sharer...years before those terms existed. As a director, producer, writer, artist, and experimenter Pellington has shifted and adjusted the expectations and appetites of audiences across media platforms.
