William Mitchell

This ground-breaking book provides an abundance of fresh insights into Shakespeare's life in relation to his lost family home, New Place. The findings of a major archaeological excavation encourage us to think again about what New Place meant to Shakespeare and, in so doing, challenge some of the long-held assumptions of Shakespearian biography. New Place was the largest house in the borough and the only one with a courtyard. Shakespeare was only ever an intermittent lodger in London. His impressive home gave Shakespeare significant social status and was crucial to his relationship with Stratford-upon-Avon. Archaeology helps to inform biography in this innovative and refreshing study which presents an overview of the site from prehistoric times through to a richly nuanced reconstruction of New Place when Shakespeare and his family lived there, and beyond. This attractively illustrated book is for anyone with a passion for archaeology or Shakespeare.

"Written to give and preserve the more intimate knowledge of incidents of world-wide importance and marking an epochal period in the history of the human race. ... It is a fact that no community of equal size anywhere in the United States had so many families representative of the best Anglo-Saxon people ranging all the way from the Crusaders under Richard Coeur de Leon, at Runnymede, and down through European and English history to America with all its brilliant achievements and wonderful men. Their stories are told in this book as a truthful record of their good lives and not as an attempt at a literary exploit." An index to full names and incidents completes this work.

Have you ever wondered what makes a "good" poem? After a lifetime of writing and teaching poetry, William Mitchell has gathered together his thoughts about creating better poetry.

This is the story of William Mitchell’s life – his career and body of work from an early age to a life of art with international commissions offered 80 years later. Bill’s zest for life, his love of London, his determination to cover the world with sculptures, murals and decoration are main themes, as his work in Qatar, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris and Hawaii testifies. He worked with famous architects such as Basil Spence and Sir Freddie Gibberd who designed the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King where Bill created the famous bronze sculpted doors and designed the Portland Stone frontispiece. He also produced the Stations of the Cross at Clifton Cathedral, Bristol and the Grade II listed Corn King and Spring Queen figures at Wexham and has had a total of nine works of art listed Grade II by English Heritage – more than any other artist. Included are stories about his discussions on art with Princess Margaret, his clashes with Prince Philip, his battles with Mohamed Al Fayed and the phenomenal success of the Egyptian Hall and Escalator in Harrods. He designed the Hall and executed the carving on all 300 panels cladding the walls – no mean achievement for any sculptor but Bill was by then 75 years old. Self Portrait contains a vast array of illustrations of Bill’s work and in so doing reveals the man – a true creative genius, who invariably had a smile or comic story, and whose energy carried projects to completion despite the many challenges. It’s a brilliant and inspiring story.

How many arresting coincidences must intersect in startling effect before the doubter, if reasonable, must see them as more "real" and more "convincing" than mere coincidence? Or perhaps reasonably merely dismiss the question as not worth challenging the imagination about? But my experience has been rather to find the matter more insistent as episode after episode of life suggests that the signal events of my life have woven a pattern that I could not have intended or expected or deserved, and certainly neither foresaw nor planned.

I want to tell about the man I have most loved, respected, and admired-my father. In many respects, he wasn't unusual. I had to learn how to love, respect, and admire. His integrity was, in my perception at least, absolutely and essentially intact. His kindness, generosity, gracious judgment, empathy, love of the good and of the vulnerable, capacity to forgive and trust again, eagerness to rejoice with those who rejoice and to grieve with those who grieve, all such qualities of mind and heart that might be considered weak and naive, all of it, worked against his success. Maybe so. I loved him for it, though I did not always rise to his example. God's blessing, I pray, on those of us who try.

In the third and final volume of the series, Computational Complexity in Psychiatric Agency, Moldenhauer explores the ultimate extension of the topics of a computational theory of operator and interpreter replacing the ultimately flawed subjectivity of the subject and analyst. With the possibility of a systemic enframing of the analyst as the interpreter and the phenomenological epoche of the subject as an operator, the road is set for not only a self-analytic or lay analytic, but of a machine-assisted analysis. Moldenhauer explores the profound nature of consciousness and its complexities, moving beyond reductionist perspectives that attempt to explain it solely through brain processes. Instead, the book presents a holistic understanding that recognizes consciousness as a fundamental aspect of reality, transcending the boundaries of the material world. Moldenhauer examines AI systems that exhibit elements of consciousness and agency, prompting us to question the ethical implications and consider the similarities between AI and biological organisms. This exploration disrupts conventional perspectives and sparks profound inquiries into the intersection of human and artificial psychology. "Computation Complexity in Psychiatric Agency" offers a thought-provoking inquiry into the essence of existence. Moldenhauer invites readers to reflect on the profound mysteries of consciousness, complexity, and agency, encouraging a deeper exploration of the subject matter. Through a clinical lens, the book provides an analytical framework for understanding the intricate interplay between consciousness, computation, and the fabric of reality. Prepare to challenge your assumptions and expand your understanding of the human mind. This book aims to redefine our comprehension of agency, consciousness, and the evolving field of artificial psychology.

Colonialism persists in many African countries due to the continuation of imperial monetary policy. This is the little-known account of the CFA Franc and economic imperialism. The CFA Franc was created in 1945, binding fourteen African states and split into two monetary zones. Why did French colonial authorities create it and how does it work? Why was independence not extended to monetary sovereignty for former French colonies? Through an exploration of the genesis of the currency and an examination of how the economic system works, the authors seek to answer these questions and more. As protests against the colonial currency grow, the need for myth-busting on the CFA Franc is vital and this exposé of colonial infrastructure proves that decolonisation is unfinished business.

Drawn from actual events in the author's life, this touching story explores the relationship between two brothers, their adventures in rental homes, what a home is, and how a home is made.

This groundbreaking new core textbook encourages students to take a more critical approach to the prevalent assumptions around the subject of macroeconomics, by comparing and contrasting heterodox and orthodox approaches to theory and policy. The first such textbook to develop a heterodox model from the ground up, it is based on the principles of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) as derived from the theories of Keynes, Kalecki, Veblen, Marx, and Minsky, amongst others. The internationally-respected author team offer appropriate fiscal and monetary policy recommendations, explaining how the poor economic performance of most of the wealthy capitalist countries over recent decades could have been avoided, and delivering a well-reasoned practical and philosophical argument for the heterodox MMT approach being advocated. The book is suitable for both introductory and intermediate courses, offering a thorough overview of the basics and valuable historical context, while covering everything needed for more advanced courses. Issues are explained conceptually, with the more technical, mathematical material in chapter appendices, offering greater flexibility of use. Accompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsburyonlineresources.com/mitchell-macroeconomics. These resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using this textbook and are available at no extra cost.
