This is an incredibly detailed and accurate account of one man's experiences as a National Service soldier in the British army during the 1950's. From the early days as a new and inexperienced recruit who was somewhat reluctant to leave home, it follows his journey through basic training and then half way around the world to the battlefronts of the Korean War. On arrival in Korea he was assigned to the Counter Bombardment Troop, a division of the Royal Artillery and mobilised to the conflict zone. The seasons and battle conditions in Korea varied considerably during his time, including the ceasefire and ensuing tense standoff which is still present today. The author has written this book six decades after the events which makes the accuracy even more impressive. He has also been able to include some original photographs which add immense value to the historical record this book creates. This book is sure to bring back memories to anyone who was in Korea at the time, and will be of interest to the descendants of Korean War Veterans, as it tells the story of the day to day army life and not just the battles. This is an important part of the history of the Commonwealth and the United Nations and their efforts to maintain peace and order in the world, which does not always turn out the way it was intended. The efforts, suffering and sacrifices of the people involved in these events must not be forgotten.

When she decides to spend the winter of 1943 in Bexford North, simply to spite her relative, Annie Watson, she begins to wreak havoc in the villagers' lives. Within a week, she has the village in turmoil with her insinuations, her Russian Communist propaganda and her evil tale-bearing. When murder is discovered, Inspector Peters and his team do not have to search for the suspects - they are in bewildering abundance.

Discovering the time and place of the arranged murder, Annie tries desperately, in her inimitable manner, to avert the tragedy.

'Finding Heraan' is a work of fiction about a young man, Ageres, who is tasked with delivering a powerful message. The task proves a lot harder than he expects. He is confronted with many challenges, not least the fact that many greet his message with disinterest!Finally, he finds the village of Heraan, and there, his message has a powerful impact. But the impact is not what he'd expected. And even after the message is delivered, he faces challenges and temptations that threaten to destroy the very truth-telling that his message has unleashed. It's an allegory, of course; a philosophical fable. We live in an increasingly diverse world, where differences of religion, race, gender, and even beliefs, threaten to create a cowering silence, or dangerous conflict. We need to find ways that we can genuinely speak to and hear each other, and 'Finding Heraan' gives an opportunity for readers to reflect on what those ways might look like.

O-M-G, Om-inspired poetry? You heard right! Or maybe you didn't hear Written while in an altered state, this is as close to 'divine inspiration' as you can get without getting 'Out of This World' (gee, why does that sound somehow familiar?). Mantras just became a whole lot more useful! Here's hoping this pocket-sized poetry book finds its way into its your permanent (or impermanent) collection - and that Buddhists find a way to 'make it' in the West. There's only one Dalai Lama, but many ignorant Westerners. Don't spend hours contemplating the word 'Om', spend hours contemplating inspiration and insight from the word Om! Your mileage may vary - sorry, no refunds.

Wanderings of a Ten Pound Pom is about an English emigrant to Australia beginning almost 50 years ago in 1966, until his marriage in 1977. The stories revolve around his work as an electrician in this new country and his travels throughout the world during that time. Those travels include visits to 32 countries with over a hundred locations. There are some funny moments, some are adventurous and some are more than a little embarrassing. Some are serious and some are light-hearted. An entertaining read, for the bus or the train, over a coffee or at bedtime. Bob Horsman's writing of those times has been almost as enjoyable for him as living them. It is his hope that the reading of these anecdotes will do the same for you.

The evolving image of the 18th century English literary giant, Dr. Samuel Johnson, was employed copiously in the fiction and essays of the Romantic and Victorian Periods. References to Johnson were intended to carry profound weight in the narratives, on the assumption of their common understanding. Although still popular today, these narratives have lost much of their initial power due to cultural evolution. A biographical study of Johnson's life does not return to current readers the full weight of the many Johnson references, neither does a critical survey of Johnson's writing. It is necessary to pinpoint the public image of Johnson at the time that the references were made, as it stood in the minds of the writers who used the image to their literary ends and to their intended audiences. This book traces Johnson's public image with triangulations of many sources and various references to Johnson by literary figures who both describe and prescribe the Johnsonian image with their literary uses of the icon.
