A Ghost in Waterloo Station

A Ghost in Waterloo Station

Bert Almon

Brindle and Glass Publishing, Ltd
2007
nidottu
The poems in "A Ghost in Waterloo Station" take the everyday world as their point of departure, but the place of arrival 'is never the shore you started from'. Vivid invocations and meditations on childhood, art, and travel bring together places and people as likeable and unexpected as the wry poetic sensibility recommending them to our attention. Greece is 'a country where clarity / is inescapable unless it forces your lids shut.' Swallows enter their nests 'high on the white stacked walls 'at Indian Lodge' as if the ghost/ of a remorseful pickpocket/ were slipping a wallet/ back where it come from.' There is much humour here, and warmth, combined with an awareness of loss and the weight of history - all delivered in a voice that is distinctive in its combination of narrative, whimsy, and wry psychological observation.

Both the boxers have sadlypassed away, but my intention is to keep them alive in my books.

2016
nidottu
A Brief History of Milk Production details the history of milk farming from the earliest days through to the problems facing dairy farmers in the current day.The book covers the massive transformation in one of the most important sectors in the agricultural industry from being based on small units to modern complex processing plants. It includes the set-up of the Milk Marketing Board; the Board's role in improving milk collections, told with humorous anecdotes gleaned from the author's own experience; and the sad demise of an operation that Bert considered to have been the lifeline of the industry for over 60 years. The book also looks at the regulations that were brought in over the years to remove the health hazards from drinking milk and details the arrival of Artificial Insemination, including some of the risque stories and poems told about the AI men.With illustrations, photographs of milking machines and processing plants and case studies, A Brief History of Milk Production will appeal to farmers, and in particular to dairy farmers, and those with an interest generally in rural/farming history.

Marginalism

Marginalism

Bert Mosselmans

Agenda Publishing
2018
sidottu
The notion of marginalism is central to modern economic theory. Its emergence, in the 1870s, underpinned the change from classical economics to modern (micro)economics, described by Schumpeter as a “revolution”. This book explores the origins of the concept, its development and role in modern economics and shows why the marginalist approach is much more than a set of mathematical rules. The book examines how marginalism and its development of calculus came about in a variety of different arenas, including as a reaction to Ricardo’s dominant theory of rents, in von Thunen’s location model, in the writings of German and French authors, both within the mainstream and outside it, before going on to look in detail at the work of Jevons, Walras and Menger, the economists most closely associated with the marginal revolution. By exploring the origins and development of the marginalist approach within the history of economic thought, rather than seeking to explain it in forbidding formal terms, the book is better able to show students the wider importance of the marginalist approach in economic theory and its far-reaching societal implications in terms of the distribution of wages and capital. For anyone who has struggled with the technicalities of microeconomic theory, this approach will be warmly welcomed.

pokkari
Joe College is a touching, coming-of-age story, which tells the tale of a young, working class man who overcomes alcoholism and a devastating accident that leaves him hearing impaired to attend college and turn his life around.The main character endures long, punishing hours in the hard rock construction trade but dreams of going to college and getting an education. Without enough money to pay tuition fees and with little understanding of how to even apply, he sits on his lunch break watching students in his college town walking to and from their classes, wishing he could join them.The young man eventually sells everything he owns to swap a life of cutting stone and pouring concrete for a college education.Based on author Bert J Miller's own experiences, Joe College is refreshingly honest and will have you laughing one minute and crying the next.The novel follows the main character on a journey of self-discovery as he works his way through college, juggling a menagerie of jobs and a stint in an army medical battalion, while living in a hard-partying fraternity house that is thrown off campus for drug, alcohol and sexual code violations. Through his perseverance, the protagonist shows that anything is possible, from graduation to finding love.This work of New Adult fiction is an authentic account of the college experience from the perspective of a "Joe Sixpack" who never thought becoming a "Joe College" graduate was in his life plan.

Champagne and Meatballs

Champagne and Meatballs

Bert Whyte

AU Press
2011
pokkari
Active for over forty years with the Communist Party of Canada, BertWhyte was a journalist, an underground party organizer and soldierduring the Second World War, and a press correspondent in Beijingand Moscow. But any notion of him as a Communist party hack would bemistaken. Whyte never let leftist ideology get in the way of a greatyarn. In Champagne and Meatballs — a memoir written notlong before his death in Moscow in 1984 — we meet a cigar-smokingrogue who was at least as happy at a pool hall as at a politicalmeeting. His stories of bumming across Canada in the 1930s, of combatand camaraderie at the front lines in Second World War, and ofsurviving as a dissident in troubled times make for compellingreading. The manuscript of Champagne and Meatballs was brought tolight and edited by historian Larry Hannant, who has written afascinating and thought-provoking introduction to the text. Brash,irreverent, informative, and entertaining, Whyte's tale ishistory and biography accompanied by a wink of his eye — the leftone, of course.
