    David Mitchell, who you may know for his inappropriate anger on every TV panel show except Never Mind the Buzzcocks, his look of permanent discomfort on C4 sex comedy Peep Show, his online commenter-baiting in The Observer or just for wearing a stick-on moustache in That Mitchell and Webb Look, has written a book about his life.As well as giving a specific account of every single time he's scored some smack, this disgusting memoir also details:* the singular, pitbull-infested charm of the FRP ('Flat Roofed Pub')* the curious French habit of injecting everyone in the arse rather than the arm* why, by the time he got to Cambridge, he really, really needed a drink* the pain of being denied a childhood birthday party at McDonalds* the satisfaction of writing jokes about suicide* how doing quite a lot of walking around London helps with his sciatica* trying to pretend he isn't a total **** at Robert Webb's wedding* that he has fallen in love at LOT, but rarely done anything about it* why it would be worse to bump into Michael Palin than Hitler on holiday* that he's not David Mitchell the novelist. Despite what David Miliband might think

    Turn down Slade Alley - narrow, dank and easy to miss, even when you're looking for it. Find the small black iron door set into the right-hand wall. No handle, no keyhole, but at your touch it swings open. Enter the sunlit garden of an old house that doesn't quite make sense; too grand for the shabby neighbourhood, too large for the space it occupies. A stranger greets you and invites you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't.This unnerving, taut and intricately woven tale by one of our most original and bewitching writers begins in 1979 and comes to its turbulent conclusion around Hallowe'en, 2015. Because every nine years, on the last Saturday of October, a 'guest' is summoned to Slade House. But why has that person been chosen, by whom and for what purpose? The answers lie waiting in the long attic, at the top of the stairs . . .

    LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2014 One drowsy summer's day in 1984, teenage runaway Holly Sykes encounters a strange woman who offers a small kindness in exchange for 'asylum'. Decades will pass before Holly understands exactly what sort of asylum the woman was seeking . . . The Bone Clocks follows the twists and turns of Holly's life from a scarred adolescence in Gravesend to old age on Ireland's Atlantic coast as Europe's oil supply dries up - a life not so far out of the ordinary, yet punctuated by flashes of precognition, visits from people who emerge from thin air and brief lapses in the laws of reality. For Holly Sykes - daughter, sister, mother, guardian - is also an unwitting player in a murderous feud played out in the shadows and margins of our world, and may prove to be its decisive weapon.Metaphysical thriller, meditation on mortality and chronicle of our self-devouring times, this kaleidoscopic novel crackles with the invention and wit that have made David Mitchell one of the most celebrated writers of his generation. Here is fiction at its most spellbinding and memorable best.

    Winner of the Mail on Sunday/John Llewellyn Rhys Prize.A magnificent achievement and an engrossing experience, David Mitchell's first novel announced the arrival of one of the most exciting writers of the twenty-first century. An apocalyptic cult member carries out a gas attack on a rush-hour metro, but what links him to a jazz buff in downtown Tokyo? Or to a Mongolian gangster, a woman on a holy mountain who talks to a tree, and a late night New York DJ?Set at the fugitive edges of Asia and Europe, Ghostwritten weaves together a host of characters, their interconnected destinies determined by the inescapable forces of cause and effect.

    THE SUNDAY TIMES-BESTSELLING BOOK BY ONE OF BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED COMIC WRITERS**Pre-order now: David Mitchell's new book Dishonesty is the Second-best Policy**There are many aspects of modern life that trouble award-winning comedian David Mitchell, such as: Why is every film or TV programme a sequel or a remake? Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing? Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it ok? Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them?Join Mitchell on a tour of the absurdities of our times - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hotdogs made of cats. Funny, provocative and shot through with refreshing amounts of common sense, Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse celebrates and commiserates on the state of things in our not entirely glorious modern world.'Mitchell is an exceptionally clever, eloquent and spot-on commentator. We should be grateful for him.' Daily Mail, Books of the Year

    Through a lucid and thought-provoking exploration of the concept of perversity in Sartre and Nietzsche, Mitchell argues that understanding the human as a 'perversion' of something other than itself allows us to have a philosophy of the human without the humanist subject.

    Mange børn har ikke succes i skolerne, fordi de er for sårbare til at blive inkluderet i undervisningen.Dette kan skyldes alt fra køn, handicap, etniske minoriteter, socioøkonomisk status og religion. Derfor er der brug for nytænkning af vores undervisningssystemer, da dette foruden at have konsekvenser for det enkelte individ går ud over sammenhængskraften i vores samfund. Heldigvis ved vi tilstrækkeligt om årsagerne til lave præstationer og de mulige midler imod dem til at handle effektivt på denne viden.Denne bog præsenterer 60 nødvendige strategier for at skabe skoler, der forbedrer de mest sårbare børns muligheder for at lære. De fleste af dem bør være integrerede del af uddannelsespolitikken, mens andre kan være valgfrie for underviseren. Strategierne bygger på forskning og erfaringer verden over. Bogen henvender sig både til politikere, skoleledere, lærere og pædagoger, der gerne vil fremme inkluderende undervisning.Med en kort gennemgang af de 60 strategier får du som lærer og leder i skolen indblik i, hvad der har betydning på blandt andet samfunds-, skole- og klasseniveau i forhold til at sikre et inkluderende uddannelsessystem, der giver de bedste vilkår for alle børn uanset køn, handikap, religion og seksualitet.Alle børn har nemlig ret til at deltage i lærende fællesskaber, og denne bog er således et seriøst bidrag i forsøget på at skabe lighed for alle i uddannelsessystemet.Bag bogen står forfatteren David Mitchell, der har udført omfattende forskning inden for specialundervisning og inklusion og har været medleder af et professionelt udviklingsprogram om inkluderende undervisning. David Mitchell er adjungeret professor ved læreruddannelsen på University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand og konsulent i inkluderende undervisning.Det ved vi om-serienSerien Det ved vi om består af en række praksisrettede og konkrete publikationer, der bibringer viden om aktuelle udfordringer for dagens skole. Serien præsenterer aktuelle pædagogiske temaer med det formål at gøre forskningsbaseret viden om forbedringer af skolen lettere tilgængelig for pædagoger, lærere og ledere. Seriens mål er at øge sandsynligheden for, at denne viden anvendes.'Sammenfattende er det en letlæselig bog, der omformer det akademiske sprog til et letlæseligt sprog for ”lægmand”. Det er hermed en bog, der kan give en et overordnet perspektiv på ens praksis.' - Flemming Platz, folkeskolen.dk - Læs hele anmeldelsen her

    Diversitet i uddannelse — hvordan man effektivt når ud til alle elever er en bog, som udfordrer, og som kan gøre lærere, studerende og andre, der arbejder i skolen, mere effektive i forhold til at undervise alle elever. Ud fra overbevisingen om, at alle mennesker har menneskerettigheder, behandler David Mitchell i denne bog fem hovedkategorier af diversitet: seksualitet og køn; socialklasse og socioøkonomisk status; race, etnicitet og kultur; tro og religion samt forskelle i evner, og han stiller en række påtrængende spørgsmål, som både politikere, undervisere og elever bør overveje: • Hvorfor bør vi sætte pris på diversitet og menneskerettigheder? • Hvordan kan inkluderende undervisning tilpasses diversitet? • Hvordan spiller samfundets forhåbning om sammenhængskraft og harmoni ind i forhold til folk, som er anderledes? • Hvilken betydning tillægges diversitet — kulturelt og historisk? • Bør uddannelsesfolk forsøge at accentuere, eliminere, reducere eller se bort fra diversitet?Gennem et imponerende overblik og grundig henvisning til den nyeste internationale forskning i de mest effektive måder at håndtere og forstå diversitet på præsenteres en lang række anbefalinger og forslag til forandringer, der kan tage udfordringerne i vores mangfoldige verden op. Denne bog er således nødvendig læsning for alle, som gerne vil omfavne diversitet og lære effektive måder at nå ud til alle elever og dermed styrke udviklingen af et mere inkluderende og harmonisk samfund og et globalt fællesskab.

  • - A Paperfolding Sketchbook
    by David Mitchell

    Origami Alfresco is a quirky and unusual portfolio of clear diagrams for 50 of David Mitchell's simple yet amazing origami designs, created from the contrast between the white and coloured sides of standard origami paper, and includes sections on Animals and People, Inanimate Objects, Double Images, The Sea and Landscapes.As you would expect from the author, many of these designs are much more than just static sketches. Some, like Freefall/Limbo, can be viewed in several completely different ways, while others, like Lovebird or Dogfish turn from one thing into another. There are action designs, like Shark Attack and Hull Down, optical illusions like Head to Head and Paradozocal Object, and even a Find the Lady puzzle as well. This book is both simple enough for complete beginners but also one that the origami aficionado will cherish and enjoy.This second edition has been completely revised and expanded. Half the designs are new to this second edition.
