Manchester: Crecy, 1998. 216 pp, large 8vo (9 7/8" H). B&w and colour photographs. "In September 1990 Richard Boswell was a newly qualified helicopter pilot in the Royal Navy, fresh out of flight school and flying one of the most potent fighting helicopters in the world - the Westland Lynx. The world was at his feet in every sense. Then, on the day he and his girlfriend decided to buy a house together, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. With less than 24 hours notice, Richard Boswell was onboard HMS Manchester and en-route to the Gulf and impending war. Once in the Gulf, HMS Manchester prepared for the seaborne invasion that most thought was inevitable. Boswell saw action against Iraqi forces, protecting Allied ships and sinking a number of Iraqi gunboats. After the liberation of Kuwait, he flew extensively around the devastated country, when his duties included a spell as pilot for Sir Peter de la Billiere. But his story does not end there. After returning to the UK , Boswell became an instructor and also indulged his passion for flying home-built aircraft, a passion that led to the accident that nearly killed him and ended his days as a Navy pilot. The portrayal of the battle to rebuilt his shattered life is every bit as graphic as his wartime experiences in the Gulf." Minor wrinkling at top of spine - very light at bottom.

This memoir tells the story of my life from my Becoming in 1980 (Old Time) until my retirement to Mars in the early 22nd century O.T. I saw the fall of the nation state and the rise of the Corporations. I was there when JC conquered Space-Time and the cyber world circumscribed man. I knew manmade woman and voyaged throughout the solar system. I saw football rise and the world embrace it. I heard the roar of the Lamb and felt buildings fall. But most of all, I was a friend to Septimus--blessed is his name to me--the great scion of Old Texas, who we immortalized with that great statue in front of the headquarters for Earth Corp. Through him I became a Top Corporate and learned the secrets behind the ""headlines"" of those days. These secrets--at least those that Pub Corp will allow--I give to you, my absorbers. Enjoy and learn. J ""George's a good man, but there's too much of the church goer in him... of course, it was either church or the bottle for him, and he picked the church. Can't say I blame him... but I don't think he can bring himself to do what actually needs to be done because of that... but we'll see. At least he will have an opinion no one else is giving him. All those damn neo-cons want him to invade, and I think he wants to finish the job that his pappy started.""

New. Remember the prophecy God gave in Hosea: To those who were rejected and not my people, I will say to them 'You are Mine.' And to those who were Unloved I will say: 'You are My Darling.' And: In the place where they were told, 'You are Nobody, ' this is the very place where they will be renamed 'Children of the living God.' - Romans 9:25-26 The Passion Translation, words capitalized for emphasis To the Unloved is a book intended to be a warm hug for people who feel forgotten, never-good-enough, and not-quite-right. This is for the ladies whose trust has been betrayed and whose hearts have been mishandled. For those who were treated like a burden and feel like they are hard to love. I wrote this book to encourage God's daughters to deal with their half-healed wounds and begin to live a life that is untarnished by the past. This was written from the perspective of a homeless, abused child to offer hope to all other ""no-bodies"" and tell the reader: You are NOT unloved. You are NOT forgotten. You are ""somebody"" to God. Your Heavenly Papa calls you His Darling. You don't have to live in shame anymore. Your experiences can shape you for the better, not for the worse. And finally, because of Jesus, it is never too late to be who you might have been. To the Unloved is unique in both its tone and perspective. I am not trying to be an ""ivory-tower teacher"" here or someone who claims to know everything. This is a conversation from one friend to another, offering an empathic embrace through words. I was physically and sexually abused by my birth father for the first 17 years of my life. My mother knew, but because of some wounds of her own, she pretended not to notice. My father's abuse, and the total lack of protection offered to me at the time, completely hijacked my identity. Being so unloved covered me in shame like black, grimy scum invades a shower, and I wore it every day from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, felt it through and through, spoke from it, and walked in it. No matter how much I scrubbed and tried to get it off, it stayed stuck to me. Only the blood of Jesus can clean such a mess. Only the Lord in His infinite wisdom and unbelievable kindness can help a person sort through the damaging effects of abuse. Throughout every chapter of To the Unloved, in big ways and small ones, I delicately share details from my own experiences and every step I took with God as He healed my life. As I wrote this, I imagined my younger self, my mother, my older sister and other beautiful women I know who have struggled to escape their own ""shower-grime shame."" I consider it such an honor to share a truth so pure with ladies like them: Jesus loves you and He makes you good enough. You may have been treated like your name was Nothing and felt Unloved your whole life but these labels have never been who you truly are. In my own experience, when you come from a family where everyone is broken, someone must be the first to step out of it. To the Unloved reaches out to readers and reassures them that healing is possible. Everything changes when we tell God, ""Here, take my broken life. I believe You can do something beautiful with it."" Even if you began your life at the lowest level of society - neglected, abused, and forgotten - there is hope. Because of Jesus, you can win the struggle against shame and have a brand-new life. You can become the person you always hoped to be!| Author: Kelly Goldson| Publisher: Heavenly Light Press| Publication Date: Mar 01, 2022| Number of Pages: 304 pages| Language: English| Binding: Paperback| ISBN-10: 1665303867| ISBN-13: 9781665303866, 6, Paperback. New. A hundred years ago, vegans were regarded with disdain and seen as weird and weakly. In Vegan Veteran, author Peter Burdin shares the story of his father, Roy, as he battled to promote a vegan and vegetarian diet, a diet that's finally become mainstream as a healthy lifestyle choice and a major contributor to combatting climate change. Burdin also tells how Roy lived through World War II as he worked on the top-secret-radar project that thwarted Hitler's attempts to invade Britain, defeated the Nazi war machine in Normandy, assisted in the Desert War, and played a key role in Operation Market Garden at Arnhem and the liberation of the concentration camps. Vegan Veteran narrates a compelling biography filled with adventure, love, and resilience that sweeps through the horrors of the World War I, the poverty of the Great Depression, World War II, and the privations that followed in the post-war world of the nuclear weapons age and the Cold War. Above all, it's the story of two of the so-called Greatest Generation, their wartime romance which survived the war, the great social upheavals that followed, and the family they created.| Author: Peter Burdin| Publisher: Authorhouse Uk| Publication Date: Mar 23, 2022| Number of Pages: 132 pages| Language: English| Binding: Paperback| ISBN-10: 1665597488| ISBN-13: 9781665597487, 6, US,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.[Complete number line 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2.

On a frigid morning in January 1937,the mutilated body of a British schoolgirl is discovered at the base of the Fox Tower.Who could commit such a crime? Peking in 1937 is a heady mix of privilege and scandal, opulence and opium dens,rumour and superstition.The Japanese are encircling the city,and the discovery of Pamela Werner's body sends a shiver through an already nervous Peking. Is it the work of a madman? One of the ruthless Japanese soldiers now surrounding the city? Or perhaps the dreaded fox spirits? Was it a case of mistaken identity? Two detectives,British detective Dennis and Chinese detective Han,team up to solve the case, battling time and the meddling of their respective bureaucracies. Han and Dennis track down a host of potential suspects, each one more unsavoury and suspicious than the last,and try to unravel Pamela's last days. As the pressure from their superiors,the press,and public opinion mounts,they find themselves drawn deeper into the Peking underworld as the city skids closer to outright occupation.Can they find the killer in time,before the Japanese invade? Historian Paul French spent seven years researching this dramatic true story in archives in both China and the United Kingdom.Front-page news around the world when the story was first reported,'Midnight in Peking' at last uncovers the truth behind this notorious murder,and offers a rare glimpse of the last days of colonial Peking.
