Paperback / softback. New. Steve Judge is an award-winning international speaker, coach, author and world-champion para-athlete. He delivers workshops to help people achieve their 'G.O.L.D.' goals, as Steve likes to call them - meaning Goal, Opportunity, Love and Dream. As the youngest sibling of three, Steve grew up in Yorkshire, UK, with his Mum, Dad, brother and sister. After leaving school and working as a coal miner and later a mechanical engineer, Steve was involved in a near-fatal car accident in 2002. Despite being told he may never walk again, Steve set recovery goals throughout his rehabilitation, worked tirelessly towards achieving them and eventually started standing and walking again. He then went further by competing as a disabled athlete in para-triathlon, swimming, cycling and running competitions and, again, through setting goals and working towards them, he went on to represent Great Britain, becoming a world champion triathlete two years running. After retirement from international competition, Steve continues to set goals as he runs his successful business sharing his good to GOLD' concept. His mission now is to inspire, help and empower as many people as possible. As a father of two, Steve also dedicates much of his time to the Scout association as a Cub Scout leader and president of Derbyshire Scouts., 6, New. Stephen Cushman's Riffraff embodies the spirit of its title, a Middle English word for &quot;&quot;every particle&quot;&quot; or &quot;&quot;things of small value.&quot;&quot; In this striking collection, scraps of the overlooked, and distasteful -- a prostitute passed in the street, the speaker's own forgotten dreams, toothless dogs rolling in deer offal -- become occasions to meditate on the rich experiences from which we too often turn away. The poems reflect on the possibilities of language, the natural world, politics, history, eros, aging, family, and spiritual devotion. Without pretension, Cushman values &quot;&quot;adepts who can dwell in the kiosk of a kiss.&quot;&quot; Skillfully, he transmutes his own curiosity and surprise into moments of shared instruction. &quot;&quot;Keep low,&quot;&quot; he whispers. &quot;&quot;Stay put. / Learn from the leaves.&quot;&quot; Riffraff culls what we have discarded, saves from abandonment the notions we have taken for granted, and, indeed, venerates every particle., 6<
