How a One-Woman Startup Became a Global Publishing Brand (Conscious Leadership i n Practice)

By: Judy Piatkus

Inspiring memoir by entrepreneur Judy Piatkus, who launched her startup at a time when mothers were not expected to be businesswomen and grew it into a highly successful international brand. The story of a pioneer of female entrepreneurship, values-led management and the rise of personal development publishing. Judy Piatkus did not come from a monied background and began her career as a secretary after failing to achieve a university place. By the time she founded Piatkus Books from her spare bedroom, she was married with a disabled small daughter and pregnant with her second child. Gradually she learned how to be both a publisher and a managing director and to combine that with her family life as she had become a single mother of three. A lot of mistakes were made but she also got a lot of things right. The company prospered, thanks to the risks Judy took in tackling new subjects in the marketplace and also her approach to running the company, which focused on transparency, honesty and trust and was rewarded by the loyalty of the staff, many of whom worked alongside Judy for upwards of twenty years. Throughout the book Judy describes her learning experience as an entrepreneur, what it really means to run a company, the many triumphs and the pitfalls, what worked and what didn't, how the company learned to reinvent itself through lean times and how it felt to finally strike gold.

Past Life Healing

At Peace with Today by Visiting Yesterday

By: Judy Sharp

Do we live many lives - and could trauma of the past still be affecting our health and wellbeing here and now? The author was completely healed of her own severe claustrophobia in one session and now has decades of professional experience helping others with issues such as fear of flying to stubborn weight gain or lost libido. The jury is out on regression therapy, with sceptics claiming that clients are simple ‘making up stories'. It seems hard to believe, though, that the deeply relaxed non-rational mind could invent the level of detail described here, accompanied by powerful emotions and physical reactions. Is the client, rather, accessing an archetype, the collective unconscious or ‘Akashic Records'? For the author, the bottom line is, simply, that in all cases the journeys proved effective in their healing. Her mantra is, “Find the root cause. Resolve it at source. Move on with your life.”

Trust and Change

Thinking Points on Therapeutic Communities

By: Judy Mackenzie,Rosemary Anthony

Trust and Change explains the democratic basis of therapeutic communities (TCs) and what exactly happens in community meetings including those in prison. It deals with commonly asked questions about TCs and describes their four basic pillars: democratisation, tolerance, communality and reality confrontation as well as the ‘no secrets’ principle (commonly referred to as a footstool). It examines the need to create a culture of enquiry and ways of avoiding trauma and other risks. It shows how TCs integrate with normal prison regimes and locations and the arrangements for record keeping and auditing. Throughout, the book contains ‘Thinking Points’ and gives examples of typical structures and schedules together with the aims, purposes and rationale of key aspects of TC work. Explains TC work in basic, straightforward terms. Deals with problems, pitfalls and possibilities of encouraging engagement in a TC. Includes educational anecdotes in an easy-to-read format. For newcomers and seasoned TC workers alike. Reviews ‘A wonderful helpful book that beautifully encapsulates the work of a TC’— Jinnie Jefferies, Founder, London Centre of Psychodrama and senior trainer in NHS and Prison TCs. ‘Speaks directly to some of the real confusions and dilemmas faced by the staff member in a TC…offers good advice…enlivened and illustrated by examples…I recommend it’— Barbara Rawlings.

Delicious Rose-Flavored Desserts

A Modern and Fragrant Take on Classic Recipes

By: Judy C. Polinsky

Imagine a table laden with sweet dishes—cakes, puddings, creams, custards, jellies, candied fruits, marzipan, ice creams—molded into exotic forms, all flavored with roses and served as the final course of an elegant meal! In the Georgian era (1714–1830) rose-flavored treats were a mainstay in the homes of the well-to-do, who would create an entire table of sweets as a show of wealth and power. In Delicious Rose-Flavored Desserts, culinary historian Judy Polinsky explores the use of roses and rose water in Georgian cooking and baking. With a foreword by Clair Martin, Curator Emeritus of the Rose Garden at the Huntington Library and Gardens, this book is packed with information about the history of roses as a food flavoring and the benefits of consuming rose water, instructions on how to select roses by scent and rose family, and directions for how to prepare rosewater from your own roses, in addition to more than fifty recipes (or as the Georgians wrote, “receipts”). Unique in its structure, the book will feature the original eighteenth-century recipe along with the modern version. Polinsky tested each recipe first by hand and then retested using modern appliances, such as mixers and food processors. The reward is in the subtle blending and mixing of unexpected flavors to create wonderfully tasty treats. Whether your interest is in cooking, rose gardening, or history, using roses from your garden to re-create unusual recipes is an adventure and great fun! Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking. We’ve been successful with books on gluten-free cooking, vegetarian and vegan cooking, paleo, raw foods, and more. Our list includes French cooking, Swedish cooking, Austrian and German cooking, Cajun cooking, as well as books on jerky, canning and preserving, peanut butter, meatballs, oil and vinegar, bone broth, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Loving Peter

My life with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore

By: Judy Cook,Angela Levin

Judy Huxtable, a beautiful Swinging Sixties model and actress, met and fell in love with Peter Cook in 1967. They were together during the memorable hit shows 'Behind the Fridge' and 'Derek and Clive', divorcing in 1989. Being intimate with Peter meant that Judy was inevitably close to Peter's comic partner, Dudley Moore, and they all formed an extraordinary bond. She was in a unique position to observe the special relationship that Peter and Dud shared, and the rivalry that existed between them. In LOVING PETER, Judy gives a perceptive and poignant account of the Peter Cook that only she knew. She writes with a mix of humour, insight and sadness about one of the funniest, most enigmatic and troubled men on the planet. She describes what he was like as a husband, performer, friend, father and man and gives an inside view of what really made him tick; why he seemed to want to destroy those he loved the most; how he succumbed to the destructive forces of drink and drugs; and how he and Dudley really got on.

Pacific

By: Judy Nunn

Young Australian actress Samantha Lindsay, fresh from her success on the London stage, is thrilled when she lands the lead role in the latest Hollywood war epic to be filmed in the dramatic South Pacific islands of Vanuatu. It's the role of a lifetime. In another era, Jane Thackeray travels from her home in England to the far distant islands of the New Hebrides with her husband, a Presbyterian missionary. Ensnared in the turmoil of war in the South Pacific, Jane witnesses the devastating effect human conflict has upon an innocent race of people, and her life becomes entwined in a maelstrom of love, hate, sacrifice and revenge. On location in Vanuatu, Samantha plays a character based on the life of 'Mamma Tack', a World War II heroine who was invaluable to both the US forces and the New Hebredian natives. Uncanny parallels between history and fiction emerge and Sam begins a quest for the truth.

The Rose Bowl

By: Judy Gardiner

Roses and women were the two loves of the Suffolk Horticulturalist - and he has devoted his life to them. Five roses in particular stood in the rose bowl the day the story opens. . . each named after a woman in his life. Together they represent a lifetime's experience of passion, tragedy and a devotion to beauty. Set among the willows and water meadows of Constable's Stour valley, Judy Gardiner's evocative and compulsive story paints a picture of gradual change - the England of near-feudalism to the go-getting Sixties.
