Once described as “brilliant but eccentric . . . too licentious to be published,” Gainsborough’s letters delighted his friends and they delight us. This book gathers together all the known letters by the illustrious eighteenth-century British painter and connects them with a narrative of Gainsborough’s life that gives the correspondence a biographical coherence.The letters reveal a man who was generous and warm-hearted, devoted to his family and friends, convivial, often dissipated yet modest and God-fearing, usually sensible in his own affairs and always so in the advice he gave to others. We also learn a great deal about Gainsborough’s painting: his methods and techniques, his attitude toward portraiture and landscape, his relationships with his patrons, the prices he charged, his concern about how his pictures were hung, and his ambivalence about the value of the Royal Academy exhibitions. Running through the letters, too, is his love of music and his friendship with musicians. The 110 letters, which include correspondence with Gainsborough’s friends and relatives, are supplemented by thirty-six documents in the artist’s own hand, chiefly instructions to his bankers and receipts for payments from clients. Illustrations are included of all the people to whom Gainsborough wrote whose portraits exist and of friends and works of art described in the letters. More than 300 notes identify these people and help to explain the text. Published for the Paul Mellon Center for Studies in British Art

Intended as guide and textbook for those coming new to Old Testament study, and to provide clear directions for those puzzled by the complexity of the subject, this book sets out simply and clearly the basic issues, problems and methods of approach in current Old Testament scholarship.Dr Hayes begins by describing the development of the Hebrew Bible and how it came to exist in different canonical forms. After an account of the nature of textual criticism, he then gives a brief history of the development of Old Testament study and the problems faced by its pioneers. A full chapter is devoted to the use of form criticism in connection with the Old Testament literature, and then detailed attention is paid to each of its main categories: the Pentateuch, the historical books, Israelite prophecy, the Psalms, Israelite wisdom literature, and Jewish apocalyptic.Bibliographies are provided for each chapter, giving books for further study, and tables and summaries consolidate explanations which are notable for their lucidity. All technical terms are explained on their first appearance, and justice is done to views differing from those of the author.

In this age of e-business, there is an increasing over-reliance on electronic communication and insufficient attention paid to the management of face-to-face relationships. In this fascinating text, John Hayes addresses this significant workplace issue by examining the nature of interpersonal skill: the goal-directed behaviours used in face-to-face interactions in order to achieve desired outcomes. He argues that interpersonal competence is a key managerial skill which can distinguish the successful from the unsuccessful.Providing a clearly structured and comprehensive overview of the interpersonal skills essential for effective functioning at work, this book presents a micro-skills approach to development that can be used to improve interpersonal competence, as well as explaining, through the use of illustrations and practical examples, how to read the actual or potential behaviour of those around us. This knowledge can then be used to guide the way in which we relate to others as we learn to manage our relationships more effectively.This book will be ideal for practising managers and students of business and management studies and psychology. The skills it promotes make it of great value for those in a wide range of professions (including teachers, doctors, nurses, social workers and police officers) in their everyday working environment.

Maurice O’Connor Drury was among Wittgenstein’s first students after his return to Cambridge in 1929. The subsequent course of Drury’s life and thought was to be enormously influenced by his teacher. The Selected Writings of Maurice O’Connor Drury brings together the best of his lectures, conversations, and letters on philosophy, religion and medicine. Central to the collection is the Danger of Words, the 1973 text described by Ray Monk as 'the most truly Wittgensteinian book published by any of Wittgenstein's students'. Through notes on conversations with Wittgenstein, letters to a student of philosophy and correspondence of almost 30 years with Rush Rhees, Drury gives shape to what he had learned from Wittgenstein. Whether discussing philosophy, Simone Weil or the power of hypnosis, he makes fascinating excursions into the bearing of Wittgenstein’s thought on philosophy and the practice of medicine and psychiatry.Alongside a foreword by Monk and an introduction presenting a new biography of Drury, analysing the relationship between him and Wittgenstein, this collection features previously unpublished archival sources. Beautifully written and carefully selected, each piece reveals the impact of Wittgenstein’s teachings, shedding light on the friendship and thinking of one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century.

Thirty short reading selections from the Book of Entertaining Stories of Gregory Bar ʿEbrāyā, with an analysis of the grammar and vocabulary of the texts.

In his captivating study of faith and class, John Hayes examines the ways folk religion in the early twentieth century allowed the South's poor - both white and black - to listen, borrow, and learn from each other about what it meant to live as Christians in a world of severe struggle. Beneath the well-documented religious forms of the New South, people caught in the region's poverty crafted a distinct folk Christianity that spoke from the margins of capitalist development, giving voice to modern phenomena like alienation and disenchantment. Through haunting songs of Death, mystical tales of conversion, grassroots sacramental displays, and an ethic of neighborliness, impoverished folk Christians looked for the sacred in their midst and affirmed the value of this life in this world. From Tom Watson and W. E. B. Du Bois over a century ago to political commentators today, many have ruminated on how despite material commonalities, the poor of the South have been perennially divided by racism. Through his excavation of a folk Christianity of the poor, which fused strands of African and European tradition into a new synthesis, John Hayes recovers a historically contingent moment of interracial exchange generated in hardship.

A pilgrimage variant, the Camino Sanabrés, branches off at Zamora to reach Santiago de Compostela.

The Camino Portugués is the second most popular pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, linking three remarkable cities — Lisbon, Porto and Santiago — along a journey shaped by centuries of history. From Roman roads and medieval bridges to Atlantic fishing ports and forest tracks, this 620km route (621km from Lisbon, 243km from Porto) offers a rich blend of culture, landscape and shared Camino spirit. Cycling the Camino Portugués is faster than walking, but the sense of journey remains: quiet lanes, shifting scenery and friendly pilgrim exchanges all build towards the unforgettable arrival in Santiago.Covering the full route from Lisbon or Porto to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, this guidebook provides inspiration and practical advice for off-road touring cyclists. The Camino was created for walkers and, while it’s excellently waymarked with yellow arrows, some sections are unsuitable or unsafe for bikes. This guide identifies a recommended, bike-friendly route that avoids one-way systems, difficult urban riding in Lisbon and Porto, and rough segments requiring bike-carrying — while also offering alternatives for cyclists who want to stick closer to the original Camino. The guide is designed to be used in conjunction with the Cicerone app, which provides mapping, GPX files, route options and key facilities.The Route: Central, Coastal and Spiritual VariantsThe Central Camino from Lisbon to Santiago stretches 621km and can be comfortably cycled in around 11 days without rest days — roughly seven days from Lisbon to Porto, then four from Porto to Santiago. From Lisbon, the route heads north through Santarém, Tomar and Coimbra, moving from flat agricultural plains into forest and hills, including a 480m pass before Coimbra, before an easier run into Porto.North of Porto, cyclists choose between the Central Camino — more direct and hillier, crossing into Spain at Valença/Tui — and the Coastal Camino, which follows Portugal’s maritime coast via Vila do Conde and Viana do Castelo before joining the main route in Galicia. Plenty of crossover options allow you to combine both routes, and the optional Spiritual Variant offers a memorable detour from Pontevedra to Padrón, with a challenging climb and the chance to follow the legendary Translatio boat journey.Cycling the Camino PortuguésCycling the Camino Portugués requires careful route adaptation. The yellow arrows are aimed at walkers and don’t always work for bikes, particularly in cities and one-way systems. The recommended route prioritises safety and ride quality while still following quiet country roads, farm tracks and forest trails for much of the journey. Surfaces are mixed, and Portugal’s iconic calçada portuguesa cobbles can be uncomfortable, especially around Porto.A gravel bike with wide tyres or a hardtail mountain bike is ideal; the route is not suited to road bikes. E-bikes are also a strong option if hired locally. The guide includes practical advice on bike choice, luggage, maintenance and trip logistics.History, Culture and LandscapeFrom Lisbon and Coimbra to Porto and Santiago, the Camino Portugués strings together standout cities and characterful towns with deep cultural roots. Along the way you’ll encounter Roman-era routes, medieval bridges, cathedral cities and coastal ports, all set within a landscape shaped by major rivers, Atlantic weather and long stretches of woodland and rural farmland.Food, Accommodation and the Pilgrim ExperienceThe Camino Portugués is well served by cafés, bakeries and local restaurants, with Portuguese and Galician specialities adding to the experience. Accommodation ranges from pilgrim albergues and hostels to guesthouses and hotels, with secure bike storage often available. A pilgrim credential (credencial) is useful for access to albergues and, after completing the required cycling distance, for collecting the Compostela certificate in Santiago.This guidebook includes: Route advice for the 620km Camino Portugués from Lisbon and Porto to Santiago de CompostelaOverviews of bike-adapted daily stages covering the Central, Coastal and Spiritual variantsPractical guidance on avoiding unsafe or unsuitable sections of the Camino Portugués for cyclistsDetailed planning advice on accommodation, bike hire, travel logistics and seasonal considerationsFood, cultural and historical highlights along the Camino PortuguésGPX files and digital mapping via the Cicerone app for reliable navigationWhether you ride from Lisbon through quiet agricultural plains, follow the Atlantic coastline north from Porto, or combine variants to create your ideal journey, Cycling the Camino Portugués provides everything you need to plan and complete one of Europe’s great pilgrimage routes by bike — arriving at Santiago de Compostela with a deep sense of achievement and connection.
