Abstract landscape painting expresses emotion while still capturing the essence of a landscape. This compelling book explores this suggestive style first developed by Turner. Using the hauntingly-beautiful paintings of Gareth Edwards, it explores the technical, historical and psychological dimensions of abstract landscape painting to help you develop your own skilful and intensely personal approach. Through this new book you can learn about how to begin an abstract landscape painting, using chance application; understand how to `manage accidents¿ to create innovative pieces of work; discover the importance of effective composition and how this navigates the viewer¿s journey; determine the importance of the `invisible¿ elements of painting: the unspoken value of the viewer and the influence of `looking¿. It also reveals how to utilize a convergence of linear and atmospheric perspective to help your viewer traverse the picture plane and helps you understand the importance of light, space, colour, and tone in generating evocative paintings. Finally, it encourages you to be more demanding of your surface, using textural techniques and glazing to achieve professional production values. It is a unique and exciting book into this under-documented genre.

This book is for those of us who are looking into a huge black hole and feeling that life is not worth living. It might also help those who love someone who is feeling that way. For 20 years Gareth Edwards worked in mental health and suicide prevention as a government advisor, university researcher and designer of innovative services. In The Procrastinator's Guide to Killing Yourself he shares how he found his own 'suicide prevention' came from a place of 'suicide procrastination'. Short stories are told with heartfelt humour as Gareth walks you through his five steps of 'living yourself' to find a way forward rather than a way out.

Learning new ways to cook was a big part of my healing from chronic indigestion and adrenal fatigue. This book has over 30 recipes for breakfasts, salads, soups, mains, treats and the only smoothie you may ever need. I've chosen simple recipes that are free from gluten, dairy, wheat, meat, fish, eggs, sugar and nuts as I found this really helpful. I've always loved food but I got a point in my life where food had started to stop loving me.I was on a triple dose of medication to treat reflux and I munched my way through endless ant-acids every day. And I struggled terribly with IBS, which if you've had it, you'll don't need to know how horrible it is. If you've not had it, you don't want to know how horrible it is!I was lucky enough to find Atmavidya and Pete at the Parito Yoga Retreat in Ruapuke, New Zealand. I found my after my time there I struggled less so I persuaded them to teach me how to cook the food they served. I then persuaded them to let me share this with others who may be struggling and this cookbook is the result. I hope it helps you have a happy belly.
