Last chance to book for Nowzad talk today, Monday 23rd September Brendon Books just a few tickets remaining.

Come hear Pen talk about his new book the powerful true story of the most controversial figure of the 2021 Afghanistan Evacuation.
Pen Farthing was branded a villain who put “pets over people”, blamed for deserting Afghans, and accused of risking British soldiers.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The government was “Missing in Action” with Pen caught in the crossfire. He had to steer his charity staff and animals through the dangers of a Taliban takeover and a political storm back home. This book is his account of the chaotic 14 days of the evacuation and its aftermath: offering a unique, important insight into the failures of the government, and setting the record straight.

Author Elizabeth Delo will guide you through a series of exercises to explore your relationship with nature and describe the physical world around you.

Tickets via brendonbooks.org or phone 01823 337742 or email [email protected] or visit us in Bath Place.
Our human nervous system has the power to cope with high stress but not when it's been ground down by the relentless stimuli of today's world. Over time, these persistent demands leave us burnt out because our nervous system is stuck in survival mode. In this mode, we have reduced capacity for rational thinking and less capacity to care. It becomes hard to make decisions, rest, solve problems, be mindful and set boundaries.
By the end of this book, you will have tools to thrive amidst the challenges of modern life, at work, at home and through positive interactions and relationships. Claire Plumbly

The Egyptian Society Taunton are pleased to announce an event organised in association with the annual Taunton Literary Festival. The history of Egyptology is often told as yet one more grand narrative of powerful men striving to seize the day and the precious artifacts for their competing homelands. But that is only half of the story. During the so-called “Golden Age” of Egyptology, there were women working and exploring well before Howard Carter discovered the tomb of King Tut. Women were working in Egypt and in so doing, laid the groundwork for all future exploration. In Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age, Kathleen Sheppard tells the exciting stories of the earliest Western women Egyptologists. Kathleen is a Professor in the History and Political Science department at Missouri S&T and lives in central Missouri with her husband, son, dog and cat. St James Church Taunton
