Wingate and the Chindits: Redressing the Balance

"David Rooney has done Wingate's memory a signal service." The Spectator.Major General Orde Wingate, DSO and two bars, who had created and personally led the Chindits, was killed in an air accident in 1944, at the height of the second Chindit campaign. General Slim joined the world-wide tributes paid to Wingate: but by 1956, to the distress of the Chindits, in his book Defeat Into Victory, Slim was dismissive of Wingate. What had happened to change Slim's mind so completely? David Rooney examines the life and achievements of a maverick soldier who inspired loyalty in some, hostility in others. Rooney's thoughtful and diligent research throws new light on Wingate's intriguing character, discovers why Slim changed his mind, and discloses details of the vendetta by which the military establishment, in the years after his death and following the viciously critical attack in the Official History, attempted to destroy Wingate's reputation.Rooney draws a balanced portrait of a military mind of daring originality, deserving of a better letter.This seminal work of military history is not only an insightful portrait of a unique British commander, but it is essential reading for anyone interested in the Second World War, special forces and the history of the British Army.Praise for Wingate and the Chindits.'His current book is, therefore, an exercise in setting the record straight... Rooney is presenting an unabashed case for the defense, and he does so with skill. Every student of the Burma campaign will want to examine this book carefully.' (Raymond Callahan, author of Churchill and His Generals and Burma 1942-45)'David Rooney's Wingate and the Chindits: Redressing the Balance ... attempts to redress the balance in favour of Wingate and to counter the unfair reputation he has acquired, in Rooney's view, among the military establishment.'

Too Much, Too Little, Just Right: From Extremes to Balance

Too Much, Too Little, Just Right: From Extremes to Balance

"Why is it only after I've screwed up, that I can see what I should have done?" "Why do I go to such extremes that I make bad situations even worse?" "I don't know what happened, I just lost it." "How can I really change my life?" Psychologist, Kelly Randolph Bennett, PhD, has often been approached with these concerns by people coming to him for guidance. In meeting their needs, he became increasingly frustrated with how long the usual therapeutic process took. In order to facilitate more rapid change, and save his clients both time and money, he developed The Tool found in this book. By using The Tool, clients came to see the totality of their situation, bringing rapid change and improvement. The process was so successful--not only because it was fast, but because it was easy--that he shared it with friends and acquaintances. He found it as effective outside of therapy as it was in therapy. Dr Bennett says: "To my pleasant surprise, people who used The Tool not only improved their coping skills, but went on to transform their lives far beyond what they thought possible. This book will show you: - How to stop making bad choices and start making good choices - How to transform your relationship with fear - How to stop extreme behavior and begin balanced living - How to see beyond your life as it is, to how your life can be

Early plans for the Whitechapel Library included provision for an unrealised weathervane. Over a century later this original intention has been achieved through Rodney Graham's Erasmus Weathervane - a glittering addition to the London skyline. This publication celebrates the inauguration of Graham's weathervane on the cupola of the Whitechapel Gallery's roof. Rodney Graham was born in 1949 in Canada and lives and works in Vancouver. He has continually worked across different mediums including photography, sculpture and installation as well as music, film, performance and writing and his work has taken the form of architectural models, books, camera obscuras, wallpaper and musical scores.

This monograph, published on the occasion of the Aspen Art Museum exhibition of Rodney McMillian, showcases a comprehensive survey of the artist's paintings, a section of his practice also encompassing sculpture, installation and performance. Incorporating and challenging the notion of art as social and historical critique, the works, essays and interview in this publication examine issues of race, identity and commerce in contemporary society. The book contains images of almost every painting produced by McMillian since, and including, his graduate thesis exhibition, demonstrating a fuller comprehension of the impetus of his work and an insight into the development of the artist's practice. It also features texts by Thomas Lax and Rodney McMillian as well as an interview between the artist and Heidi Zuckerman. Born in 1969 in Columbia, South Carolina, and currently living in Los Angeles, Rodney McMillian received his BA in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia and went on to study art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and received an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 2002. McMillian's work has been exhibited at the UCLA Hammer Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Herning Art Museum in Denmark, the Royal Academy in London and Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art.
