Phil Brown's Il Avilit moves forcefully between the noise and disorder of the modern world, picking through the debris of the many lives we lead, leaving a trail of perfectly poised and fiercely observed poems. Dejected teachers, low-life pub landlords, faithless lovers, libertines and heroes populate this piercing and quick-witted debut, where darkness and regret linger at the corner of the pages, reminding us that an urgent clock ticks with our every step.  Whilst the poems go toe-to-toe with the big subjects of lust, loss and deception, the collection remains savvy, upfront and entertaining. Brown's poems seek to confide in their reader with precise and carefully-measured words in their ear, finding their form and shape in persistent and surprising ways. Part of the Debut New Poets Series.  \"Phil Brown's lovely 'South Bank' deserves to be cemented on to the Royal Festival Hall.\" Suzi Feay, The Independent   \"Ink spilled from a dark wingtip overhead… with pitiless skill this shade of Baudelaire unmakes his life and lays it out for our delectation – a casual gift, a rarefied vision, a human sacrifice.\"Hugo Williams \"Phil Brown's poems jump across the page, play with language and meaning, and interrogate – thumb in collar – our multifarious, simultaneous worlds. From Sir Gawain on the Northern Line to the sleazebag publican – from Chiron in Southend to an American president on his deathbed – these poems blend urban, virtual, and mythical experience through a sharply observant eye, fizzing like intellectual fireworks as they go.\" Katy Evans-Bush  Phil Brown was shortlisted for the Crashaw Prize in 2009 and won the Eric Gregory Award in 2010.

By the 1950s, this summer Eden of bungalow colonies, summer camps, and over 900 hotels had attracted over a million people a year. This was the Jewish Catskills of Sullivan and Ulster Counties. Born to a small hotel-owning family who worked for decades in hotels after losing their own, Phil Brown tells a story of the many elements of this magical environment. His own waiter's tales, his mother's culinary exploits as a chef, and his father's jobs as maitre d' and coffee shop operator offer a backdrop to the vital life of Catskills summers. Catskill Culture recounts the life of guests, staff, resort owners,entertainers, and local residents through the author's memories and archival research and the memories of 120 others. The Catskills resorts shaped American Jewish culture, enabling Jews to become more American while at the same time introducing the American public to immigrant Jewish culture. Catskills entertainment provided the nation with a rich supply of comedians, musicians, and singers. Legions of young men and women used the Catskills as a springboard to successful careers and marriages. A decline for the resort area beginning in the 1970s has led to many changes. Today most of the hotels and bungalow colonies are gone or in ruins, while other communities, notably those of the Hasidim, have appeared. The author includes an appendix listing over 900 hotels he has been able to document and invites readers to contact him with additional entries.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49746577981713,"sku":"CIN1566396425G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52459329093905,"sku":"CIN1566396425VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1566396425.jpg?v=1751151025"},{"product_id":"12-short-hikes-near-lake-placid-plus-the-saranac-lake-6-book-phil-brown-9780990309000","title":"12 Short Hikes Near Lake Placid: Plus The Saranac Lake 6","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49912084824337,"sku":"CIN0990309002G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53224065990929,"sku":"CIN0990309002VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0990309002.jpg?v=1751299447"},{"product_id":"henry-and-mudge-get-the-cold-shivers-the-seventh-book-of-their-adventures-book-rylant-cynthia-9780590982351","title":"Henry and Mudge Get the Cold Shivers: The Seventh Book of Their Adventures","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49918759239953,"sku":"CIN0590982354G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50306008350993,"sku":"CIN0590982354VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50355849462033,"sku":"CIN0590982354A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52784016458001,"sku":"GOR014620839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0590982354.jpg?v=1751008186"},{"product_id":"12-short-hikes-near-old-forge-book-phil-brown-9780990309024","title":"12 Short Hikes Near Old Forge","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Mill's (1773-1836) role in the development of utilitarian thought in the nineteenth century has been overshadowed both by John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) and by Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832). Of the three, the elder Mill is considered to be the least original and with the least important, if any, contributions to utilitarian theory. True as this statement may be, even those who have tried to challenge some of its aspects take the common portrayal of Mill - the rationalist, the maker of syllogisms, the geometrician - as given. This book does not. Studying James Mill's background has surprising results with reference to influences outside the Benthamite tradition as well as unexpected implications for his contributions to debates of his time. The book focuses on his political ideas, the ways in which he communicated them and the ways in which he formed them in an attempt to reveal a portrait of Mill unencumbered from the legacy of Thomas Babington Macaulay's (1800-1859) brilliant essay Utilitarian Logic and Politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50099913818385,"sku":"CIN0990309029A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0990309029.jpg?v=1751140569"},{"product_id":"in-the-catskills-book-phil-brown-9780231123600","title":"In the Catskills","description":"Through fiction, memoir, music, and art, this book offers a glimpse of the Catskills experience over a century and assesses its continuing impact on American culture.

But more significantly, they are watchwords for a growing struggle between communities, corporations, and government. In No Safe Place, sociologists, public policy professionals, and activists will learn how residents of Woburn, Massachusetts discovered a childhood leukemia cluster and eventually sued two corporate giants. Their story gives rise to questions important to any concerned citizen: What kind of government regulatory action can control pollution? Just how effective can the recent upsurge of popular participation in science and technology be? Phil Brown, a medical sociologist, and Edwin Mikkelsen, psychiatric consultant to the plaintiffs, look at the Woburn experience in light of similar cases, such as Love Canal, in order to show that toxic waste contamination reveals fundamental flaws in the corporate, governmental, and scientific spheres. The authors strike a humane, constructive note amidst chilling odds, advocating extensive lay involvement based on the Woburn model of civic action. Finally, they propose a safe policy for toxic wastes and governmental\/corporate responsibility. Woburn, the authors predict, will become a code word for environmental struggles.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50352189047057,"sku":"CIN0520212487G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52774115967249,"sku":"CIN0520212487A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521390862609,"sku":"NLS9780520212480","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520212487.jpg?v=1751230231"},{"product_id":"contested-illnesses-book-phil-brown-9780520270213","title":"Contested Illnesses","description":"The politics and science of health and disease remain contested terrain among scientists, health practitioners, policy makers, industry, communities, and the public.

Communities with disease clusters, women facing a growing breast cancer incidence rate, and people of color concerned about the asthma epidemic have become critical of biomedical models that emphasize the role of genetic makeup and individual lifestyle practices. Likewise, scientists have lost patience with their colleagues' and government's failure to adequately address environmental health issues and to safeguard research from corporate manipulation.  Focusing specifically on breast cancer, asthma, and Gulf War-related health conditions-\"contested illnesses\" that have generated intense debate in the medical and political communities-Phil Brown shows how these concerns have launched an environmental health movement that has revolutionized scientific thinking and policy. Before the last three decades of widespread activism regarding toxic exposures, people had little opportunity to get information. Few sympathetic professionals were available, the scientific knowledge base was weak, government agencies were largely unprepared, laypeople were not considered bearers of useful knowledge, and ordinary people lacked their own resources for discovery and action.  Brown argues that organized social movements are crucial in recognizing and acting to combat environmental diseases. His book draws on environmental and medical sociology, environmental justice, environmental health science, and social movement studies to show how citizen-science alliances have fought to overturn dominant epidemiological paradigms. His probing look at the ways scientific findings are made available to the public and the changing nature of policy offers a new perspective on health and the environment and the relationship among people, knowledge, power, and authority.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51266424668433,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51797457994001,"sku":"GOR012430600","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52496438296849,"sku":"CIN0231129483VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0231129483.jpg?v=1750908563"},{"product_id":"catskill-culture-book-phil-brown-9781592131891","title":"Catskill Culture","description":"A century ago, New Yorkers, hungry for mountain air, good food, and a Jewish environment combined with an American way of leisure, began to develop a resort area unique in the world.

The author includes an appendix listing over 900 hotels he has been able to document and invites readers to contact him with additional entries.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51423339151633,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423340134673,"sku":"CIN1592131891G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1592131891.jpg?v=1750798798"},{"product_id":"perspectives-in-medical-sociology-book-phil-brown-9781577661344","title":"Perspectives in Medical Sociology","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51460866507025,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51460867391761,"sku":"CIN1577661346VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51836081864977,"sku":"CIN1577661346G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0333740661.jpg?v=1751087988"},{"product_id":"adirondack-paddling-60-great-flatwater-adventures-book-phil-brown-9780978925413","title":"Adirondack Paddling: 60 Great Flatwater Adventures","description":"A remarkable first novel. Like the old master Henry James, Sheila Bosworth uses the chilling device of using the mirror of innocence to reflect evil. It is a lovely achievement, a superior one.-Walker Percy Clay-Lee Calvert is the love child of two people who are as beautiful as models in a magazine but whose similarity ends there. Her father, Rand, is an artist-easygoing, dreamy, principled, and chronically jobless. Her mother, Constance, is the blue-blooded, pampered, delicate but determined daughter of a state supreme court justice. How their intense passion for each other plays out against the sumptuousness and decay of 1950s New Orleans is something to which no innocent should be privy. In Sheila Bosworth's mesmerizing first novel, the era, the place, the people, of Clay-Lee's childhood all form an air as real as our own pasts, alternately dim and indelible, where everyone bears some guilt, and all are almost innocent.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51756339396881,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51756339527953,"sku":"CIN0978925416G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52081100783889,"sku":"CIN0978925416A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52459729486097,"sku":"CIN0978925416VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780978925413.jpg?v=1751290192"},{"product_id":"the-rise-of-magic-a-windwicche-stables-book-book-phil-brown-9798867341305","title":"The Rise of Magic: A Windwicche Stables book","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52109590659345,"sku":"GOR013841185","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798867341305.jpg?v=1757130127"},{"product_id":"social-movements-in-health-book-phil-brown-9781405124492","title":"Social Movements in Health","description":"Health social movements (HSMs) are an innovative and powerful form of political action aimed at transforming the health care system, modifying people's experience of illness, and addressing broader social determinants of health and disease in diverse communities. This book represents the first collection of research on HSMs. It brings together the study of health and illness with social movement theory in order to establish a basis for the study of health social movements. Contributions cover both health social movements focused on diseases such as Alzheimer's and breast cancer, and issue-based HSMs such as the pro-choice movement, the movement for complementary and alternative medicine, and movements around stem cell research. Taken together, they illustrate the value of interdisciplinary approaches to studying HSMs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52337463558417,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52337464115473,"sku":"NLS9781405124492","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781405124492.jpg?v=1763632803"},{"product_id":"mental-health-care-and-social-policy-book-phil-brown-9781032252667","title":"Mental Health Care and Social Policy","description":"Originally published in 1985, at a time when the previous 2 decades had witnessed dramatic changes in the US mental health system. These included the decline of the state mental hospital, the birth of the community mental health center and the expansion of psychiatric services in general hospitals. The inevitable results of the changes were the creation of a huge nursing home population of the chronically mentally ill, and the multiplication of urban ‘street people’. Mental health care is uncoordinated and underfunded. The historical roots of these problems are examined in this book which is designed both as a professional reference volume and as a text for students in the sociology of mental health and illness. The contributors are drawn from diverse fields, including sociology, psychiatry, psychology, epidemiology and social history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52592354656529,"sku":"NLS9781032252667","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52745725542673,"sku":"NIN9781032252667","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032252667.jpg?v=1761065758"},{"product_id":"spider-unicorn-book-phil-brown-9780645446609","title":"The Spider Unicorn","description":"Annie is a happy spider, with eight brothers and sisters, and lots of friends.

Stakeholders in disputes about illnesses or conditions disagree over their fundamental causes as well as how they should be treated and prevented.
