Adam Walker

Through developing an ethical-methodological approach of ‘radical care', this book explores how critical artistic practice might contribute to the materialisation of more equal, more collectively fulfilling, possibilities of being. The chapters trace a set of interweaving lineages perpetuating inequalities: through labour, the body, and onto-epistemology. Art’s all too frequent a-criticality, cooption, or even complicity amidst these lineages is observed, and radical care and the disruptive arttext are developed as twin aspects of an alternative, resistant framework. The book contributes to the critical understanding of inequitable, abstracting processes’ growing determination of increasing parts of our world, and foregrounds art’s position amidst these. It also functions as an interface, both extending the fertile current discourse around care to a contemporary art focus, and at the same time exploring how radical art practices might contribute to a politics rooted in an ethics of care. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, studio art, philosophy and politics.

Śivani Howe's THIS is Written in the Stars is not just a collection of poems; it charts a journey of transformation. It is a deeply personal and sometimes enigmatic chronicle of a change of heart, a verbal record of alteration that guides the reader through the labyrinth of inner experience. This collection channels both the intensity and tenderness of the human spirit, through authentic imagery, emotional depth, and occasional playfulness and humor, THIS paints a portrait of spiritual change that is at once deeply personal and uniquely fresh. In her own words, "THIS is Written in the Stars, is a capsule of light that maps my journey of a mind-bending, life-trembling transformation, where both my lower and higher minds were woven through an experience of my heart breaking open and then blooming into its fullest expression -- embodying the Presence of Love. I offer THIS... to you here as a map to inspire your own journey, to console, to encourage and to balm your heart so that you do not feel alone in your own awakening from the mundane 3D into an embodied 5D reality. THIS... is not a map giving direction, but a map of permission for you to experience your treasure hunt towards finding your own heart's unique expression."

Is the God of the Bible really at work in the world today? How can we know? Why does it so often seem like He is not present in the world He created? Why is it so hard for us to experience Him? Could it be that our faith is too small? Two Fish is my story of learning about the presence of the God of the Bible. Scripture promises us that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). This book will give you a closer look into my journey of discovering God and His desire to have an intimate relationship with us, to send us on mission with Him, and to move on our behalf. Jesus said, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing" (John 15:5 NIV). This is my personal story of learning the truth of this statement. We serve a God who can do more than we can ask, dream, or imagine. He can do immeasurably more than we can ask, dream, or imagine. This is the story of Him opening my mind to all that He is able to do...which I could have never imagined. It is the God of the Bible who took two fish and fed 20,000. He desires to do this in our lives as well. Perhaps Jesus said it best, "According to your faith, let it be done to you" (Matthew 9:29 NIV).

Every child has an imagination . One Big Underwater Adventure is about one child's wish to be taken for a trip under the sea. A magic fish finds him fishing and pull him off the dock for a ride under water. What he seen is amazing Sea creatures talk to him on his was by. How he ends up back on the dock is even more amazing than what he seen under the sea.

In 2007, Adam, then a toaster salesman, was inspired by a film about a man attempting to change his life by swimming the English Channel to try to emulate the feat. After a year of rigorous training without a coach, Adam achieved his goal in 11 hours 35 minutes, despite a ruptured bicep tendon leading to medical advice to give up long-distance swimming. In 2011, after two operations and a change to his swimming style to take pressure off his injured shoulder, he became the first Briton to achieve a two-way crossing from Spain to Morocco and back. In the process, he broke the British record one way. Shortly afterwards, the Ocean's Seven challenge was born, a gruelling equivalent to the Seven Summits mountaineering challenge. At first it seemed that injury would prevent Adam from participating but, ignoring medical advice, he developed an innovative technique - the Ocean Walker stroke - that would enable him to continue with the ultimate aim of completing this seemingly impossible feat. Whether man would triumph over ocean, or fail in the attempt, forms the core of this extraordinary autobiography. Always intriguing, sometimes terrifying, and occasionally very funny, Adam's story is about sport in its truest form: rather than competitions between teams and individuals, it is about man against nature - and against his own failings and demons. In that, it is truly inspirational.
