Exulting in the speech of his native Alabama, Rodney Jones's new poems combine satire and ode, formal lament and ribald joke. Now, in his sixth book, Jones extends the emotional and stylistic range that has brought him such honors as the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Jean Stein Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He writes of football and feminism, of DDT and family, of crows and sex, of ink and raccoons and perpetual motion machines. In many of these poems the southern drawl lives forever, riding on the tide of regional language, poking fun yet delighting in it.
With Kingdom of the Instant, Rodney Jones delivers a collection of poems that address both transcendent and profane aspects of the American South, art and politics, poverty and privilege. Always engaging, Jones "shows the intensity of his loving regard for every aspect of life, from the grit of the earth to the silk of the skin and all that churns in the mind" (Donna Seaman, Booklist).
Spanning two decades of the author's literary work, a collection of one hundred poems includes twenty-four all-new poems and offers a poetic vision of the tension between history and modernity and a vision of his own Alabama childhood. Reprint.

There is no getting around the fact that most people have never done anything of earth-shattering importance or fame. That does not mean they haven't led interesting lives. Everybody has stories to tell (some good, some bad) and moments in their lives (some happy, some sad) that are just as interesting and just as worthy of being told as those people with more widespread notoriety. This book is a collection of such moments from the life of the author. Although living most of his life with depression, they have created an amazing, albeit unknown life that helped him realise things were not all bad. Hopefully, they will inspire you to look at moments of your own and help you to realise just how wonderful and unique your individual story truly is.

Rodney resides with his wife Elizabeth and Jenna, his youngest daughter, in Wollongong NSW, Australia. He is at the time of publishing this book, a Nidan (second dan black belt) with GKR Karate. Apart from his teaching karate classes, he also enjoys writing and public speaking. He also plays guitar, but only for his own personal enjoyment. No ambitions there, though those few people who have caught him singing say he's not bad at it. This book contains some of the stories of his life so far, about at the half way point. All is not revealed of course, simply because some is just too hard to write about...yet. Time is a great healer. Does this mean, there will be another book - 'But, He was with me...the sequel'. Rodney's answer is, "maybe, we will just have to wait and see." This book is firstly for family and friends. "It is my legacy, my gift to my family, Sonja, Heidi and Jenna, and especially my grand children - Shanelle, Sharmayne and Ben. They have always loved hearing my stories from my childhood, and I have loved telling them - though some of them in this book are not really child appropriate and so they haven't been told." There is only one point to the book though - He (referring to God) was always with me. Rodney read a quote recently - "Success has many fathers, and failure is an orphan". This has been, in Rodney's experience, a sad but true story for many he has known along the way. It will never be so for Rodney. You see, he has a heavenly Father who has never left him and there is great confidence that He never will. As a child of God, Rodney will never be an orphan and therefore, will never fail. - But, He was with me.
This book presents Dr Syme's views on the plight of people with dementia, and his suggestion for further legislative change. The book's title reflects a life that has been long, and where all that was possible has been achieved - and so is in a sense 'complete'. There follows consideration of the problems that may follow, and what may be a reasonable response.
When aborigines murdered a sailor from the Dutch ship Duyfken on the west coast of Cape York in 1606, it was the beginning of Australia's 'Race War' Within weeks, another 9 Duyfken sailors were murdered by aborigines near Cape Keerweer. This was Australia's first recorded massacre.The contents of this book portray history as it really happened, rather than the many fictionalised accounts that academics have inserted in recent years.During my 10 years of research into original documentation held in libraries and archives, it became very obvious that many of them, particularly anthropologists and sociologists, were promoting what they personally wanted the public to believe, rather than write an accurate historical record. In effect they have included a mass of fiction into the history books, that is now taught in schools and universities as fact.In the process they effectively covered up the aboriginal invasion of Australia and extermination of the "Original Indigenous Australians" Papuans] less than a thousand years ago.Many of the lies and deceptions published by academics are also exposed and where possible, copies of the hand written reports of last century are included as evidence of academic deceit and naivety.This narrative commences with the Aboriginal Invasion of Australia and exposes the "False Aboriginality" of the 40,000 year myth.It progresses through the violent confrontations of the native tribes and the massacres of hundreds of Europeans, including men, women and children who were cast ashore from the numerous shipwrecks along this hostile coastline of the Cape York Peninsula and the Torres Strait Islands. They were slaughtered by club and spear and in many cases, beheaded.As you journey through these pages you will learn of the incredible settlement of Somerset, at Cape York, established as a "Harbour of Refuge" where shipwrecked castaways found sanctuary from the constant massacres perpetrated by "Islanders and Aborigines at Cape York".Read of the unbelievable Jardine Cattle Drive, in which 10 men fought against all odds, to drive 250 head of cattle over a thousand miles to Somerset. In spite of the savage aboriginal attacks, they made it.Continuing through the 1800's discover the River of Gold Palmer River] where men died from starvation, disease and savage attacks by aborigines. This is followed by the traumatic death of "Lizzie Watson" who fought off aboriginal spears on lonely Lizard Island, only to die of thirst with her baby.When the Quetta sank in 1890 at Cape York, 133 people drowned. Many of the survivors owed their lives to the quick actions of Frank Jardine of Somerset.What of the Jardine Silver Treasure found embedded in a coral reef in 1891? Was it really buried with the Jardine Journals on an Indonesian Island?This is the history that many authors were afraid to write for fear of being branded as racist by a biased and prejudicial press.

Holiness and hedonism. Lonesomeness and community. Tradition and progress. Highly regarded commentator on Christianity and popular culture Rodney Clapp argues that these great tensions form the bedrock of American history and our current culture. Utilizing the life and music of Johnny Cash to illustrate these and other American contradictions, he probes these phenomena with sharp theological questions--seeking the language and knowledge that will enable us to reach across political and cultural divides and encourage a more graceful and constructive negotiation of current contradictions.
Rodney Foster's The Real Dad's Army is the true-life account of Britain's Home Guard and now the subject of the new film Dad's Army (Feb 2016).'Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler?' Not Colonel Rodney Foster, a platoon commander of the Kent Home Guard. Dad's Army, the iconic comedy series is as well-known today as it was forty years ago. But the reality of life in the Home Guard was often very different. Here, for the first time, is the full inside story of the Home Guard, the ragtag volunteer army that defended the coast of Britain from German invasion during the Second World War. Colonel Rodney Foster, who retired to Hythe in the south of England after a military career in British India, joined the Home Guard in 1940 and kept a diary every day - a highly illegal act at the time - and in it meticulously chronicled his service in the real Dad's Army. He records with a unique wit and wisdom the everyday details of family life during the war: the domestic routine dogged by air raid warnings, the antics of soldiers stationed nearby taking every chance to improve their lot, the quiet strength of a small community faced with great adversity.'It's magical' Dan Snow, The One Show'If you lament the demise of the stiff upper lip, this is the book for you' Dominic Sandbrook,Evening StandardShaun Sewell is an avid antique dealer and social historian. Shaun lives and works in Northumberland. Rodney Foster was born in India in 1882 and spent his career in the Indian Army. In his retirement he went with his wife and daughter to live in Saltwood, near Hythe on the Kent coastline. Here in 1940 he enrolled in the Home Guard. He died in 1962.
