Una vacanza in Senegal. E' cos che Brian Hill scopre una passione che lo accompagna da anni e che stata in grado di cambiare radicalmente la sua vita. A volte basta affacciarsi dal finestrino di un furgone per vedere tutta la propria esistenza sotto una luce diversa: ogni situazione difficile, frustrante, si rivela cos per ci che veramente; il gioco della vita, del teatro dell'esistenza, che emerge e che vissuto con una giusta dose di ironia, pu farci vivere le nostre giornate non pi come degli incubi ad occhi aperti ma come delle stupefacenti avventure quotidiane. "Vista dal furgone," romanzo di esordio di Brian Hill, un racconto che ci fa riscoprire, attraverso i luoghi e i suoi personaggi, il piacere ed il valore della propria quotidianit , senza avere la pretesa di cambiarla ma cambiando solamente il nostro modo di vederla.

There has always been a tendency to view British politics before the 1832 reform act as though the parties in parliament were clumsy, embryo versions of the later Conservatives and Liberals - their every act interpreted as being either as further striving towards modernity or a relapse into more primitive patterns of behaviour. This can be helpful to students in disentangling some very complex factional material, but for much of the time the 19th and 20th century party labels simply do not make any sense at all in this earlier period. A good, clear account of what exactly was meant by 'party' and how the different parliamentary groupings evolved from the Restoration to the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars has long been needed, and Brian Hill, who has studied this issue for many years, has at last provided such an account.

Tutto quello che hai sempre voluto sapere sui sistemi di gestione per la qualit ma non hai mai immaginato di poterlo chiedere. Un libro che inaugura un nuovo genere letterario: la tecno-commedia, cio quando la tecnica viene applicata in modo da generare situazioni paradossali. Leggendo questo libro assumi la pillola rossa. "E' la tua ultima occasione, se rinunci non ne avrai altre. Pillola azzurra, fine della storia: domani ti sveglierai in camera tua, e crederai a quello che vorrai. Pillola rossa, resti nel paese delle meraviglie, e vedrai quant' profonda tana del bianconiglio. Ti sto offrendo solo la verit ricordalo". Una nuova rappresentazione del concetto di gettatezza Heideggeriana per opera della penna di Brian Hill.

The doctors say I have a fatal, incurable disease. So I have collected many of my poems from 1990 to 2004 in this book, and self-published it. Now I can have a nicely-bound copy, and my kids can look at my stuff when they're grown up and perhaps curious about me. The disease is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Some of these poems have been published in various places over the years.

This book is the second in what I hope to be a great set of words complied within my crazy mind. Some are rhymes, some are free verse, and some are pure rants and rambles. This second book contains some satire that you or may not appreciate. Doesn't matter to me except that I want it to spark thoughts that you normally wouldn't have. To be able to write one poem a day you'd have to have subject matter. I get my inspiration in many different ways. Sometimes, someone says something that catches my attention, or a quote in a movie might spark some thoughts. Whatever it is, I dream it will last a while. I hope you enjoy my words and find humor, inspiration, or maybe a little bit of sadness sometimes. I will also try to help you find the strength to live each day with love, kindness, and appreciation for being you...
