DOWNLOAD EBOOKDiscover the happiness benefits of putting brush to paper with a guide that puts judgment aside and “encourages simple enjoyment of painting” (Library Journal). Meditative, peaceful, and calming, watercolour painting offers a sense of control and self-worth to everyone, with no judgment or goal beyond the joy of painting itself. This book shows you how to calm and enhance your outlook through the movement of brush on paper. Master artist Jean Haines leads you through the journey, putting the emphasis on the joy of play rather than on pressure to perform or produce—and showing you how to wipe away your worries with the soothing, gentle strokes of watercolour paint. “Starting from the premise that everyone can paint, Haines frees readers of the goals and expectations of end results, and encourages simple enjoyment of painting. Open-ended, detailed exercises guide readers through experimenting with paint to gain a sense of control; to relieve stress; to escape; or to be in a better mood. The emotional and psychological properties of color are discussed as are obstacles to creativity and happiness. . . . [a] unique blend of self-care and expression.” —Library Journal

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Happy Humanist is a simple book for ordinary people who want to find greater enjoyment and peace in their lives. Happiness depends on who we think we are. We often get this wrong because it's difficult to know ourselves or other people. The self remains a mystery despite all the work of scientists and psychologists. That's why human relationships can be a problem for each of us. If we take this to heart we can appreciate that we may be asking for more than we're entitled to. Result? Strife and unhappiness. Happiness is a state of mind where we create an environment of enjoyment and calm; it's ours to create. The reality of life is that it is changing in every week, day and moment. It's unpredictable! Disappointment comes easily. Acceptance of this reality and an attitude of detachment are the tools to create the environment we seek. Freedom, justice and a life we think is meaningful are vital parts of that environment. We can't hide in our own back-yard. The Happy Humanist has been influenced by the work of Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, and will appeal to thoughtful people, interested in human values and concerns, and those who enjoy reading about self-help and popular psychology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEverybody at Butchers’ Row in Southwark has something to hide... Described as ‘London noir’, Night Shelter, the 9th novel from thriller writer Gil Hogg, delves deep into the seedy underground world of drugs, prostitution and corruption in Britain’s capital. Jimmy Morton, a supervisor at the Night Shelter for the homeless, finds himself unwittingly involved in the murder of Eva, a local prostitute found in a tenement in Butchers’ Row. The director of the Night Shelter and his guest Arnold Catesby have had a boys’ night out, a drug-fuelled sex party at a nearby pub close to where Eva’s body was discovered. Cynical and self-protective CI Dan Hamish from the Yard finds that Eva was at the party, but believes that Catesby and his friends are too big to touch. As the group are interrogated one-by-one, they assure Hamish that they have solid ‘insurance’ – but will it pay off? Night Shelter is a fast-paced detective novel that encapsulates the gritty, sardonic nature of London’s underground crime network. This book will appeal to fans of Peter Ackroyd and Mark Billingham, as well as fans of Hogg’s previous titles.
