“I resisted, but she drew me back. I stayed away, but she beckoned me. I 
distanced myself, but she haunted me. I even rejected her but she did not 
abandon me...”\nShe Seduced Me is that rare book in which the reader becomes part of a magical 
world in which places, monuments and artists come alive through their stories. 
In this case, however, that world is Rome and the reader becomes a participant 
in the ebb and flow of the city and gains insight into why so many have fallen 
in love with Rome despite its faults.\nThis work of nonfiction is divided into chapters in which the reader experiences 
aspects of art, culture, history and the present through the eyes of the writer 
and of the inhabitants of Rome, past and present.\nThe journey commences with the reader accompanying the author who, standing in 
front of Michelangelo’s Moses statue, mouth agape, almost hears the artist 
scream at his creation: “Speak!” From this an odyssey of wonder begins: what is 
the story behind the Trevi fountain, behind that rock in the middle of the Roman 
Forum, behind all those priests and nuns everywhere, behind everything one 
stumbles upon, wonders about and takes selfies in front of? The quest is to 
uncover those stories.\nAuthor and reader continue to explore the life in the piazzas, experience 
camaraderie with street performers, see history through all the senses, get lost 
in Rome, observe Americans and foreigners, discover unique places to eat, speak 
with Romans, explore the houses of Nero, Augustus and Livia, encounter 
Caravaggio and chats with expats.\nThis work is a virtual tour through a magical city that educates and enthralls.

It can be easy to rush through life without fully appreciating what it has to offer. Many of us are not living our best life, because we are preoccupied with the past and the future. We can live our lives on autopilot, in an almost mechanical state, functioning without really thinking. When we live in the past it can be depressing, when we are fixated on the future it can sometimes cause anxiety. The present is the only time we can live in and that is sacred, so why miss it? If we spend all our waking hours glued to our phones, social media and devices we may miss the beauty right in front of us. Mindfulness helps develop our understanding of how our brain works, increases our concentration, our sense of calm and our compassion for ourselves and others. As a result, developing our practice makes us happier, healthier, and more skilful at responding to difficult emotions; overall, it increases our focus and enhances our performance. WE FEEL CONNECTED! This book shares with you seven mindfulness techniques that, with daily practice, will have a profound positive effect on your well-being and the young people in your care. The guidance is to practise each one of the techniques for a week over a period of six weeks and record what you notice. To maximise the benefits, at the end of the six weeks, make a plan of how you are going to integrate all the practices into your daily life, using the example at the back of the book as your guide. This script in the first instance is geared towards children at the top end of primary school (9-11 years of age), with the support of their parents/carers/teachers. The intention of this script is to improve the health and well-being of people of all ages, by equipping them with the well-being tools to live a healthier and happier life.

Visions for a Post-Covid World: Defining a Radically New Normal

Milan is under reconstruction. Avaricious authorities and grasping investors create a pillar of opulence. The project goes as planned until they acquire an unexpected group of enemies. Pigeons of Milan, who were already appalled by mistreatment and living in confined spaces, declare war, and they are armed to the teeth. It is too late to back down, and too big to fail. Their well-groomed uprising will reach a point that is beyond their wildest dreams. Edna Gee's debut work Vertical Jungle is a fable about revolution with a twenty-first century twist. Amid a chaos featuring greenwashing politicians, Instagram celebrities, and equally determined and confused freedom warriors, one finds the everyday conflicts of our turbulent times that we know by heart.
