Tits Up - Carole Paterson - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Tits Up - Carole Paterson - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

It only takes seconds for your life to change.It’s said that everybody knows someone who is battling, or has battled, cancer. In a breathtakingly personal account, Tits Up is the story of how Carole Paterson underwent breast cancer treatment from start to finish. Carole was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, which affects just 15% of patients. To keep her mind focused during treatment, she documented her journey day by day, to create an easy to read commentary on life as a cancer patient. Focusing more on the personal side, the book is written with the sole purpose of reaching other cancer patients with the message: you are not alone.Taking the reader by the hand, Carole leads us through every stage of her treatment: chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, including a daily diary during chemotherapy to share thoughts and worries as she progressed. While it doesn''t make light of the diagnosis, the book attempts to find light in the darkness where it can by sharing some of the humorous moments Carole experienced, as well as wedding preparations, shielding through the pandemic, and her focus on the future. In the firm belief that knowledge is power, Carole hopes to give the newly diagnosed a wealth of information that could help to make their journey a little easier to navigate. Companion, friend, advisor, shoulder, it''s all of these and more. Intended to be a book that reaches into a nightmare and helps guide the way through, Tits Up is one that we hope we will never need, until we do. Brutally honest, and written with a blend of sensitivity and candour, Tits Up represents strength of spirit for both the author and the audience she is trying to reach.

Stand Up Sit Down - Peter Caton - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Stand Up Sit Down - Peter Caton - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

For a hundred years most supporters watched football from terraces, a culture that was an integral part of the game. By the 1980s though, neglected stadia, hooliganism and a lack of concern for safety meant that football had to change, and after 96 Liverpool fans tragically died at Hillsborough, Lord Taylor’s report recommended that our grounds should be all-seated. Many people however believe that something of the soul has been taken away from watching football and that standing is the natural way to feel part of the game.In Stand Up Sit Down Peter Caton considers the arguments for and against the choice to stand to watch football. He visits the 23 English grounds that still have terraces, seeking the views of clubs and supporters, travels to Yorkshire to watch rugby league and to Germany to stand on a convertible terrace. With extensively researched background, the author analyses the disasters and hooliganism that led to all-seating, and the many changes that have occurred in the game. He considers various solutions proposed to allow standing, and highlights obstacles facing those backing the choice to stand. His own experiences of watching football at all levels add insight and interest. The book ends by asking its own questions and with a whiff of conspiracy.Illustrated with colour photographs, Stand Up Sit Down is a fascinating read, which unearths some surprising facts and raises many controversial issues relevant to all who love the football.

Picking Up Signals - Jane Pearn - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Picking Up Signals - Jane Pearn - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

These are poems for our time, which stir as well as make us reflect. Flowing between childhood and adulthood and ranging from the deeply personal to the universal, themes of motherhood, adoption, birth and loss, nature, the everyday transformed, are woven together in poetry which reaches out to the reader and invites us to pay attention. Many of the poems are responses to the rawness of life: from the ache of relationships gone wrong, to our impact on the natural environment, and the capricious cruelty of war. They look at the world unflinchingly, not letting us get too comfortable, but always with warmth, humanity and a thread of hope at their core. Jane brings the reader up short with an unsparing observation, then in another poem considers the small and precious - a single sparrow, a garden plant. She explores form and plays with words, surprising the reader in every poem. With a lyrical use of language which is continually arresting, these poems touch life’s peripheries, acknowledging its rough edges, but always with eyes open, waiting for a message, watching for the signals.

You Couldn’t Make it Up - A.b. Monroe - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The south of France, known for its beauty, perfect climate, fresh produce, excellent cuisine, fine wines and steeped in history – but what lurks behind? This is a humorous yet cautionary tale of 3 naïve individuals, Abi, Marc and their daughter Beth who after losing their financial security in the housing crash of 2008, packed up their belongings and relocated to Provence. Finding themselves unexpectedly welcomed into the family that owned their rented farm house, Abi, Marc and Beth were in their element, long lunches under the hot sun, dinner parties by the pool, and a simple lifestyle that was to provide them with the pleasurable and affordable elements life has to offer; fresh croissants, soft, creamy goats cheese, an abundance of locally produced wine, lunches on hot winter days at the beach and evening movies in the garden. Failing to heed the warning that offering a hand in France can mean the loss of the whole arm, this family found themselves in one crisis after another as uninvited strangers sought to share the delights they had previously overlooked. A story of suspicion, jealousy, seduction and of course the impending inheritance, that which keeps all French on their toes.

Nadja: The Librarian’s Hope - Gregory Andrusz - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The protagonists of this story are Franco and Nadja, whose relationship begins as a chance, lunchtime encounter in a bar not far from the small hilltop town of Montelorenzo in southern Tuscany. Franco comes from an established, artisan family in the town and, although university educated, follows in his father’s footsteps as a cabinet maker. Nadja is a spirited and determined but anxious young woman with an ever-present phobia. Since her mother died giving birth to her, she was brought up by her father, a fervent Communist who named her Nadja after the wives of both Lenin and Stalin. Nadja is short for Nadezhda, which means ‘Hope’ in Russian. The story illustrates the legacy of history and the lasting effect it has on all our lives. Nadja becomes, both literally and metaphorically, Franco’s Hope, until the Three Fates of Greek mythology intervene.

Making Waves - Susie Rose - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The saga of how the north of Scotland secured its own commercial radio station at this time in history isunique. Radio station licences were strictly controlled by the Home Office and the standards for output wereset deliberately high. Here we have a group of community activists who didn’t have experience or a penny totheir name. They raised funds for photocopying their application by holding plant sales and in the processscared off the more serious local investors who didn’t think they’d pull it off. But they did. The rest of the book looks at what they did with it, the story told largely in anecdotes from those who were there. With a bunch of largely untested on-air talent, and relying on a great deal of volunteer labour, they ended up with some of the best listening figures in the country. It’s a remarkable tale backed up by dozens of photographs that will evoke the 80s and 90s. The book explains why truly local radio was so important to the communities of the north of Scotland at that time when the economy was fragile and unemployment savagely high in some places. Presenters share what it was like to become a household name and reminisce about the music and the lighter side of radio life and how it change the lives of so many. If you love radio this book is for you.
