Lost in the Forest : Notes on not belonging from the English countryside
Where am I? Who am I? And why didn't I bring a sandwich...?This book is a hymn to getting lost.Drawing on his experience as a troubled schoolboy, a burnt-out screenwriter at the BBC, an 'awkward' priest in the Church of England, Colin Heber-Percy reflects on the value of not belonging... We all share a desire to belong. There's reassurance and safety in knowing who we are and where we fit in.But at significant moments in our lives - a new job, new school or an unexpected change of circumstances - or just in the ruts and routines of everyday life, we can experience a sense of not belonging, of dislocation, of being lost in a forest.But, there is another way to approach these uneasy moments.Rather than fearing the forest, Colin discovers great value and creativity there. Join parish priest Colin Heber-Percy in an invitation to get lost - to lose the labels society and institutions use to box us in - and to relish the liberation of losing our way in the world.Blending anecdotes from parish life, with philosophy, literature and tales from his local Savernake Forest, Colin argues that there is an overlooked richness, a spirituality and a freedom to be found outside the boundary lines our culture sets for us. Lost in the Forest is a gentle, funny, and life-affirming trail of crumbs through the woods... PRAISE FOR COLIN HEBER-PERCY:'Colin Heber-Percy's prose is flowing and he writes amusingly, perceptively and beautifully' - KATE GREEN, Country Life'A gentle, generous spirit.' - SIMON RUSSELL BEALE'A Wordsworthian appreciation of nature and is full of humanity and wisdom.' - SARAH SANDS, journalist and author of 'The Interior Silence'

Why not rural youth?

They often lack resources and infrastructure necessary for personal and professional development, leading to higher rates of unemployment and poverty. By focusing on rural youth, we can address these disparities and create more inclusive and sustainable development opportunities for all members of society.

Is the speed not always indicated during rural trips?
The speed is not always indicated during rural trips, especially in areas where there are no speed limit signs or where the roads are less developed. In some rural areas, the speed limit may not be clearly posted, and drivers may need to rely on their judgment and awareness of the surroundings to determine a safe speed. Additionally, GPS or navigation systems may not always accurately display the speed limit for rural roads. It is important for drivers to be cautious and attentive to their surroundings when traveling in rural areas.

Not Anywhere, Just Not
Boy meets Girl, Boy marries Girl, and years later Boy mysteriously disappears in this Gordon Lish–style novel. The boy and the girl have been married for decades, mostly getting along as they go about their lives.But one day, like thousands of people around the world, the boy vanishes, and the girl is left to wait, wonder, and worry.Will he return? Who might she be if she moves on without him?This is a world where every morning the cat gets fed and the coffee gets made, but also one in which God sometimes lives in the garage – she likes to sleep on the freezer – and gigantic words can fall from the sky.Not Anywhere, Just Not cracks open the small dramas of our lives to show the dread and wonder inside all of us. "Ken Sparling is a brilliant writer and this book, like all his books, is a beauty.Sparling chronicles the times I fear most—the moments of loneliness, of loss, of ennui—and somehow makes them seem worthwhile, even wondrous, and often flat-out funny.His work makes life look livable, which makes him a wizard to me." – Derek McCormack, author of Castle Faggot"A gorgeous rendition of the domestic uncanny, Not Anywhere, Just Not is an ostensibly quiet book that slowly and carefully unnerves and unsettles you--both because of its precise swapping out of reality and because of just how familiar it so often seems.All of us, Sparling seems to say, are on the verge of vanishing at any moment." – Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World

Queering the Countryside : New Frontiers in Rural Queer Studies
Choice Outstanding Academic Title of 2016Rural queer experience is often hidden or ignored, and presumed to be alienating, lacking, and incomplete without connections to a gay culture that exists in an urban elsewhere.Queering the Countryside offers the first comprehensive look at queer desires found in rural America from a genuinely multi-disciplinary perspective.This collection of original essays confronts the assumption that queer desires depend upon urban life for meaning. By considering rural queer life, the contributors challenge readers to explore queer experiences in ways that give greater context and texture to modern practices of identity formation.The book’s focus on understudied rural spaces throws into relief the overemphasis of urban locations and structures in the current political and theoretical work on queer sexualities and genders.Queering the Countryside highlights the need to rethink notions of “the closet” and “coming out” and the characterizations of non-urban sexualities and genders as “isolated” and in need of “outreach.” Contributors focus on a range of topics—some obvious, some delightfully unexpected—from the legacy of Matthew Shepard, to how heterosexuality is reproduced at the 4-H Club, to a look at sexual encounters at a truck stop, to a queer reading of TheWizard of Oz. A journey into an unexplored slice of life in rural America, Queering the Countryside offers a unique perspective on queer experience in the modern United States and Canada.

Why does the accommodation range not change in myopia, but the accommodation amplitude does?
In myopia, the accommodation range does not change because the eye can still focus on objects at different distances. However, the accommodation amplitude decreases because the eye is unable to fully relax its focusing muscles when looking at distant objects. This results in a reduced ability to accommodate to objects at a distance, leading to blurred vision. Therefore, while the range of accommodation remains the same, the ability to adjust focus within that range is diminished in myopia.

What is the difference between a rural boarding school and a school countryside retreat?
A rural boarding school is a full-time educational institution where students live on campus and attend classes regularly, similar to a traditional boarding school. On the other hand, a school countryside retreat is a temporary educational program that takes place in a rural setting, often for a short period of time such as a weekend or a week. While both may be located in rural areas, the key distinction is the duration and purpose of the program - a boarding school provides long-term education and accommodation, whereas a countryside retreat offers a short-term educational experience in a natural setting.

Why is public transportation in rural areas not being improved?
Public transportation in rural areas is often not being improved due to a lack of population density, which makes it less cost-effective to operate and maintain public transportation services. Additionally, rural areas may have limited funding and resources to invest in transportation infrastructure and services. The dispersed nature of rural communities also presents challenges in providing efficient and comprehensive public transportation options. As a result, policymakers may prioritize urban areas where there is higher demand and potential for greater impact.

Is Christmas a pagan holiday or not?
The origins of Christmas can be traced back to pagan winter solstice celebrations, such as the Roman festival of Saturnalia and the Germanic festival of Yule. However, Christmas as it is celebrated today has been heavily influenced by Christian traditions and the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Over time, many of the pagan elements have been incorporated or replaced by Christian customs. While the historical roots of Christmas may have pagan origins, for many people it is now primarily a Christian holiday.
