What happens in The Brown Curtains when a group of Guyanese professionals migrate to St. Lucia to take advantage of better pay, presents a lesson in racial, cultural, and religious tolerance that has important implications for the CSME and Caribbean integration. As one of the few West Indian novels to explore intra-Caribbean migration and cultural differences among CARICOM countries, The Brown Curtains is indeed a path-making work of art. A novel of great humor, and philosophical and political insight.-Allan Weekes, Author of Talk of the Devil The Brown Curtains embroils readers in a steaming love story involving Raj, an Indo-Guyanese emigrant to St. Lucia, and Felicity, a St. Lucian black beauty. The only question is whether their love can withstand the racial and religious bigotry of Raj's parents.-Anderson Reynolds, Author of Death by Fire A powerful commentary on race, culture, and religion, and the uncompromising influence of love... an insightful, persuasive, and entertaining work of art ... Sankardayal has succeeded in producing a work of genius.-Modeste Downes, Author of Phases Whether you are Black, Indian, Christian, Hindu or Moslem, The Brown Curtains gently goads you in the direction of forgotten trails and alleys of the diaspora. It is a novel for everyone because it shows that adapting to a new life is the same wherever you arrive.-Michael Aubertin, Author of Neg Maron: Freedom Fighters A remarkable piece of literature...a brilliant piece of prose writing...(delves into) the more sophisticated and complex issues of race relations, cultural tolerance...issues of sociology and culture are related in lavish humor and hilarity.-The Guyana Chronicle The Brown Curtains deals with intra-Caribbean migration...issues of race, politics, and East Indian pathos...and stands alone in the way it has brought all those themes together in one drama.-Stabroek News The Brown Curtains is an entertaining novel well worth reading...There is some comic relief, reminiscent of Shakespeare...Mr. Sankardayal joins that growing body of West Indian writers who have been making a most valuable contribution to world culture and to an understanding of the region and its peoples."-Jacques Compton, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts Chavalier De L'Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettre
Most golfers have difficulty with the concept of hitting down at the ball to make it fly. Surprisingly, a great many players surveyed did not even know you need to hit down to get the ball up in the air. Hit Down Dammit concisely explains the concept - and the technique - of hitting down at the golf ball for proper trajectory, increased backspin, much improved distance, proper divot taking, and best of all: consistent shotmaking. If you are inadvertently - or intentionally - hitting up at the ball, Hit Down Dammit is for you. If you are a seasoned amateur who has inexplicably "plateaud" - just cannot seem to get to the next level despite lessons and/or acquiring a library of books and videos - Hit Down Dammit is for you. Symptoms of hitting up include (but are not limited to): - topping the ball - skulling the ball - pushing the ball - slicing the ball - poor distance - difficulty getting off back foot - poor backspin - no divot - fat divots - chunking the ball - thin/fat chip shots - roofing the ball with your driver - inability to hit long irons and/or fairway woods - good shots followed immediately by poor shots Hitting down at the golf ball is not a new concept, but it is a hitherto poorly explained (or completely avoided) concept. All pros agree on the need to hit down, so there is no debate there. Even Tiger Woods, in his 306 page "How I Play Golf", states the need to hit down at the ball - but does not explain how. Hit Down Dammit does. Learn to hit down, watch the ball go up, and your scores go down.

Clive Mellum has been a master baker for 50 years, and is responsible for having taught literally hundreds of bakers, professional as well as amateurs. He started becoming really interested in doughs and fermentation at the age of about eleven. "And even if I carried on baking for another 50 years, I would still be learning every day. There is so much to learn, no one can ever say they know it all." Despite his humility he is widely regarded by many of Britain's best bakeries as being one of the foremost influences in the "Real Bread" revolution that is sweeping across the country. Having been taught the art of fermentation through the 1960s only to experience its decline through a lack of understanding of its importance, Clive set out on a mission to work with the independent milling industry to resurrect this forgotten art in family bakeries. He now works as an independent bread consultant, imparting 50 years of knowledge to an eager and ever-increasing audience. The author leads his readers through his Basic and Advanced workshops in baking.Besides a great variety of recipes, the book offers background information on craft baking in Britain and abroad, and relates anecdotes from a lifetime of bread making. "The man's a walking encyclopaedia of bread." David Jones, Manna from Devon, Kingswear
