Point Man

The point man leads the patrol into battle, looking for signs of danger. He is the first to face ambushes, hidden bombs and snipers. Few survive for long. Between 2007 and 2008, 20-year-old Kenny Meighan was the longest-serving point man in Helmand province. An exceptionally skilful and brave private, he was lucky to make it home alive. But in his hometown in Essex, where prospects are bleak and his father still suffers from the nightmares of his own war experience, Kenny's struggle is far from over.

Essays, Perspectives, Opinions

M. Fethullah Gulen: Essays – Perspectives – Opinions

Using a selection of various articles, this collection presents the prolific writer M. Fethullah Gülen's ideas on modern education, as well as how he has been presented in the media.

Gülen suggests an ethical definition of Sufism as “the continuous striving to be rid
of all kinds of bad maxims and evil conduct and acquiring virtues.17 He praises
the Sufis in Islamic history as being spiritual guides who have shown generations
of Muslims how to follow this path to human perfection. Such a positive reading of
the mystical Sufi tradition has inevitably led to accusations of his having created
within his movement a type of neoSufi tarekat. While denying that he has ever ...

Port Alberni

More Than Just a Mill Town

Any community that has ever been labelled a "mill town" carries both the promise of prosperity and the constant threat of collapse, its fortune hinging on a single industry whose performance is as much related to the whims of a global economy as it is to the abundance of a key natural resource. The people of Port Alberni, located deep in Vancouver Island's Alberni Valley, know all too well the highs and lows that come with such a label. Jan Peterson, who lived in Port Alberni for two of the town's most tumultuous decades and worked as a reporter for the Alberni Valley Times, describes how the town's people persevered through three decades of boom and bust, developed a vibrant arts and sporting community, and strived to make life better under any circumstances. From the prosperous 1970s, when Port Alberni earned the reputation of "forestry capital of Canada," to the decline of the industry in the 1980s, when economic uncertainty signalled a need for diversification, to the environmental protests in nearby Clayoquot Sound, which polarized the community, Port Alberni tells the story of Port Alberni from a perspective that is rarely heard. Through fascinating interviews and meticulous historical research, Peterson captures the heart and soul of a town so often defined by dollars and cents.

Eventually the premier's office intervened and Zimmerman got a commitment
from MB that he would be employed. As a result of their fight and with the help of
the Human Rights Commission, both men managed to bring their cases to a
satisfactory conclusion. (In July 1983 the province abolished the Human Rights
Commission.) Zimmerman reached a settlement and went to work at the Kennedy
Lake Division while continuing studies at North Island College, eventually

Tea & Antipathy

An American Family in Swinging London

Tea & Antipathy is a delightfully hilarious and true account of one American family's summer in the posh London neighborhood of Knightsbridge in 1965. Capturing the helpless feeling that living in a foreign city often brings, the book recounts how the Millers met a wide variety of memorable characters from all social classes, including Mrs. Grail the Irish cleaning woman, who was convinced that their home was haunted and who hated the English; Basil Goldbrick, a businessman from Manchester; and Basil's clever wife Daisy, who resented Americans. Told in a gently sardonic tone, this story provides insight on what London was like during the Swinging Sixties and what it was like to uproot a family for an adventurous summer abroad.

They said all they had done in the park was lie on the grass while Jane rubbed
Tom's back. Then they went on lying in the grass and Tom rubbed Jane's back.
We turned on the television set, but the only thing on both stations (there were
only two) was Harold Wilson going in and out of Ten Downing Street. A
Commonwealth Conference had started. The children played checkers; Mrs.

Sophia

Princess, Suffragette, Revolutionary

Shortlisted for the Slightly Foxed Best First Biography Prize Winner of the Eastern Eye Alchemy Festival award for Literature In 1876 Sophia Duleep Singh was born into royalty. Her father, Maharajah Duleep Singh, was heir to the Kingdom of the Sikhs, a realm that stretched from the lush Kashmir Valley to the craggy foothills of the Khyber Pass and included the mighty cities of Lahore and Peshawar. It was a territory irresistible to the British, who plundered everything, including the fabled Koh-I-Noor diamond. Exiled to England, the dispossessed Maharajah transformed his estate at Elveden in Suffolk into a Moghul palace, its grounds stocked with leopards, monkeys and exotic birds. Sophia, god-daughter of Queen Victoria, was raised a genteel aristocratic Englishwoman: presented at court, afforded grace-and-favour lodgings at Hampton Court Palace and photographed wearing the latest fashions for the society pages. But when, in secret defiance of the British government, she travelled to India, she returned a revolutionary. Sophia transcended her heritage to devote herself to battling injustice and inequality,a far cry from the life to which she was born. Her causes were the struggle for Indian independence, the fate of the Lascars, the welfare of Indian soldiers in the First World War Â? and, above all, the fight for female suffrage. She was bold and fearless, attacking politicians, putting herself in the front line and swapping her silks for a nurse's uniform to tend wounded soldiers evacuated from the battlefields. Meticulously researched and passionately written, this enthralling story of the rise of women and the fall of empire introduces an extraordinary individual and her part in the defining moments of recent British and Indian history.

The Secretary of State blamed his colleagues for causing him to lie to Parliament:
'It seems clear from the papers that the Lieutenant-Governor of Burma refused
Lajpat's request to see his solicitor. This is in itself, a hateful thing to do, only
worthy of Russia, or, say Australia, in her Italian days. But worse still, I was
allowed to tell the House of Commons that access to a solicitor would of course
be allowed . . . More than that, I was permitted to say that he was allowed to
receive letters from ...
