This is an unnatural act. These 14 rules can help us be more aware, have a deeper understanding, make better sense, and perform well within these conglomerates. And also be happy.

Michael's Poetry takes us on a journey beyond the use of set meters. He leads us to open windows of improvisational rhythms to explore our feelings. His poems are a heartbeat which compels us to want to speak the words off the page; to be seen, felt and heard. His jazzy beats inspire us the readers to create our own rhythm. The messages in his poems are social, empathetic-playful-witty, love filled, universal and community connected. Michael's poetry is a Baobab tree for our creative spirit filled with fruits, water and an umbrella and canopy of knowledge.

Two collections of poems by Michael Sanders Fun in Space, a collection of short prose poems, takes a metaphorical and sometimes irreverent look at some of the more bewildering concepts of modern science fact and fiction, such as time travel, curved space, uncertainty, and black holes, using ordinary language and materials gleaned from life's everyday experiences. Love in a Violent World & Other Poems is a potpourri of poetic voices and styles from contemporary free verse to classic sonnets, from stark and explicit realism to brazen absurdism, as well as a new "exploding sonnet" that examines the value of human bonds through the suffering caused by their undoing in today's complex and violent world. These are tales of love, loss, and restoration. Using straightforward language, Sanders explores issues as diverse as the violent death of loved ones, family estrangement and dissolution, intolerance, aging, the healing power of love, and the joy of poetry itself. Readers will react with emotions drawn from their own experience-and in so doing, each will become complicit with the author in creating their own personal vision.

The academic field of behavioral science has developed rapidly in recent decades. The field draws on research from across the social and natural sciences, and it has consistently shown that humans are not always rational. This insight has had a profound impact on multiple fields, including economics, political science, and law. Since the early 2000s, the application of behavioral science to public policy has also grown exponentially. Policymakers and practitioners now regularly use behavioral science to rethink how they develop programs and solve social problems. The impact has been far-reaching; behavioral science has transformed how we think about the economy, public health, education, and beyond. In practice, behavioral insights have been used to raise tax revenues, help people access social welfare program benefits and employment opportunities, increase voter turnout, boost medication adherence, and more. There are now hundreds of entities - international organizations, governments, business, and nonprofits - building and investing in internal behavioral science teams. Unfortunately, most of the hard work of putting these teams together and applying behavioral science insights happens "behind the scenes." This book unearths some of the stories and insights from pioneers in applied behavioral science, in their own words. How did their teams come about, and how did they grow? What projects have worked, and which have not? What have they learned, and what would they recommend to others seeking to build behavioral science teams of their own?

A fresh new approach to Victorian medievalism, showing it to be far from the preserve of the elite.This book offers a challenge to the current study of nineteenth-century British medievalism, re-examining its general perception as an elite and conservative tendency, the imposition of order from above evidenced in the work of Walter Scott, in the Eglinton Tournament, and in endless Victorian depictions of armour-clad knights. Whilst some previous scholars have warned that medievalism should not be reduced to the role of an ideologically conservative discourse which always and everywhere had the role of either obscuring, ignoring, or forgetting the ugly truths of an industrialised modernity by appealing to a green and ordered Merrie England, there has been remarkably little exploration of liberal or radical medievalisms, still less of working-class medievalisms. Essays in this book question a number of orthodoxies. Can it be imagined that in the world of Ivanhoe, the Eglinton Tournament, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Alfred Tennyson, the working class remained largely oblivious to, or at best uninterested in, medievalism? What, if any, was the working-class medievalist counter-blast to conservatism? How did feminism and socialismdeploy the medieval past? The contributions here range beyond the usual canonical cultural sources to investigate the ephemera: the occasional poetry, the forgotten novels, the newspapers, short-lived cultural journals, fugitive Chartist publications. A picture is created of a richly varied and subtle understanding of the medieval past on the part of socialists, radicals, feminists and working-class thinkers of all kinds, a set of dreams of the Middle Agesto counter what many saw as the disorder of the times. DAVID MATTHEWS is Professor of Medieval and Medievalism Studies in the English Department at the University of Manchester; MICHAEL SANDERS is Senior Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century Writing in the English Department at the University of Manchester.
