It has a wonderful cast of characters, array of nationalities, wonderful places and the cars are so sensual. Even a non-racing enthusiast can follow the action and get caught up in it. Bravo - Rhonda Swayda author Achille Varzi never did anything by half-measure. When he dressed, he was always immaculate in the latest styles. When he raced cars, he did so to win and become champion. And when he fell in love for the first time, this took over his life completely and totally. Then tragic events out of Achille's control impacted upon him, one after the other. This was too much and Achille's life spiralled out of control, and no matter how much his good friends tried to help, this was beyond them. This is a fictionalised account of 1930s motor racing star, Achille Varzi, who, after the tragedy of war, in 1947 won the first-ever Formula One race.
The Boy Born With A Pinhole Heart focuses on a Massachusetts boy becoming a man. As a boy at the beginning of the chapbook, he overcomes the emotional trauma from the death of his beloved grandparents. Following their deaths, challenges continue when his uncle dies, he's confronted with a family member being molested as an altar boy, and his father loses his job. When his mother's depression leads to hospice care, she ultimately dies. After his mother's funeral, he moves from Massachusetts to San Francisco. However, in his new city, he spirals into alcoholism. Through all these family tragedies and personal flaws, he stands on a Pacific Ocean beach in the last poem. As waves break anew, he in turn is a new man breaking anew.
Crossing Zion has the ability to reduce the reader to tears, wild hysterical laughter and to be moved deeply by the passionate struggle of a young man's climb through life. This is the zen of all life journeys through divorces, children, love and leading the young and foolish--of all ages. A born teacher and guide, our hero candidly regales us with his often life-threatening adventures on mountainsides, in the 'at risk' classroom, at the journalist's desk and bouncing in and out of the bedroom. This is a book is full of soul and passion, tempered by the cynical wit of 'Langdon Towne' and the mysterious 'Book of Truths.' You won't be able to put it down.
MARK and the MAN: The Gospel of Mark: a New Age Commentary for the new Christianity

This book on the Gospel of Mark follows the form of a traditional commentary on scripture but illuminates the Gospel with information gained through channeled contact with extraterrestrials. This includes information about Jesus and the Gospels not known before, as well as what is known about the universe. The last 25% of the original Gospel by Mark was lost by accident before it could be copied, and now channeled information reveals the nature of the resurrection of Jesus and details his after death appearances that were recorded in the lost material. MARK and the MAN gives the much-needed "big picture" of the universe, one that includes the metaphysical realm, the seven levels of consciousness, called densities, and the two pathways of evolution up through those levels. Jesus was a spiritual individual of the highest love density who chose to return to earth to carry out a mission to combat negativity that included martyrdom. In MARK and the MAN, the author reveals for the first time Jesus' own religion of the Father and the universal brotherhood of the children of God, who are all people, and how it was quickly distorted by the early church. The book explains how many of Jesus' miracles occurred. The Gospels were written by humans with points of view, and this book points out their agendas with well-founded explanations. Most of all, this ground-breaking book reveals the scientific truth about the resurrection and gives details of Jesus' appearances in his resurrected form not in the original gospels. MARK and the MAN reveals who wrote the mysterious Q document, and ends the book with a chapter assessing the validity of memories in an oral society with some surprising results. This book will appeal to those who are looking for a new outlook on the religion and life of Jesus, especially participants in Emergence Christianity. Lastly, each chapter ends with study questions that will help familiarize readers with the concepts in this book, that as one of a kind, blends Christianity with science and channeled information for the modern information age. Written for Christians and others alike, this unique book will appeal to those who seek to know what is real in life and religion.
Keith Dockray's Road to Oblivion chronicles the life of a reclusive, manic-depressive, retired, gay, medieval historian/author and is a follow-up to the 2008 autobiography, Memoirs of a Yorkshire Bastard. It covers Keith's life from pension age (as was) to the grand old age of 75, or, in Keith's terms, the years of being a '...knackered, old bastard.' Part of being a knackered, old bastard involved outsourcing of what was meant to be another autobiographical work to his next-door neighbour. So, this is literally next-door to an autobiography It's a cheery, little read and the icing on the cake is that it's probably a road map for many of us, once we reach a certain age. As for a clue to Keith's opinions, the following quotes probably tell you a lot. "Now, after four decades of heavy smoking and drinking, I can contemplate a no doubt premature death with equanimity. Progressing to an inevitably lonely, and probably decrepit, old age in an ever more materialistic, technology-obsessed and paranoid society has no appeal whatever. My...fear is of an arrogant and over-powerful but philosophically bankrupt medical profession single-mindedly yet pointlessly dedicated to the preservation of life, of however poor a quality, at all costs. Euthanasia has got to be the better option; I hope, when the time comes, I have the nerve to take it." (2003.) "40+ years of hedonism are now definitely beginning to take their toll but] even if young again, I'd still reject the option of a healthy lifestyle...I've avoided doctors like the plague for most of my adult life, and certainly don't fancy the largely pointless existence now prescribed for elderly wrecks by the NHS..." (2009.) "Now in my 75th year, I'm strongly inclined to trust only doctors who are both humanists/atheists and firm believers in the right of the elderly to choose their own time/manner of death. Presumably, this means the NHS might well prove of no use to me whatever " (2018.) Yes, it's a cheery, little read.
In his inauguration speech as the 15th President of Southern Nazarene University, Dr. Keith Newman stated, "To live last is to be countercultural. To live last is to be like Jesus. To live last...is timeless and contagious." Since arriving on the campus Dr. Newman has encouraged the students, faculty and staff of SNU to LiveLast in their every day lives. He wrote this book as a challenge to us all to put others first and serve. All proceeds from this book will help fund student scholarships at SNU.
This volume charts the political career of Keith Joseph. The authors challenge Joseph's self-declared conversion to Conservatism in 1974 and the importance of his "education" of Margaret Thatcher. His own ambition, intellectual integrity and consistency are all examined.
Hailed by Margaret Thatcher as the founder of modern conservatism, Keith Joseph is commonly ranked among the most influential politicians of the late-20th century. A complex and enigmatic figure Joseph was almost unique among Mrs Thatcher's senior ministers in refusing to write his own memoirs. Challenging both the "mad monk" view held by his critics and his status of mythical hero to his admirers, the authors present a picture of Joseph as a thinker and decision-maker. the authors tell of Joseph's formative years before he entered Parliamnet in 1956: the powerful Jewish dynasty into which Josph was born; his time at Harrow; at Oxford; his war years in the Royal Artillery; and his Fellowship at All Souls. This volume charts the political career of Keith Joseph. The authors challenge Joseph's self-declared conversion to Conservatism in 1974 and the importance of his "education" of Margaret Thatcher. His own ambition, intellectual integrity and consistency are all examined and a different picture emerges of his role as the intellectual driving force behind Conservative Government policy in the 1980s.

The definitive survey of Keith Tyson's thirty-year career. British Turner Prize-winning artist Keith Tyson is known for a distinctive and diverse body of work including drawing, painting, installation and sculpture. Showing a wide range of influences, from mathematics and science through to poetry and mythology, he is interested in how art emerges from the combination of information systems and physical processes that surround us every day. For over thirty years, Tyson has probed, dissected, explored and questioned reality. Not fixed to one artistic style, Tyson sets out to challenge himself and the audience, whilst working with diverse materials – paint, clay, metal, resin – to question our knowledge of the world we perceive as real, and art’s role in representing it. With newly commissioned texts from an internationally diverse array of writers, and including a previously unpublished interview with the artist, this is the definitive survey of one of the most restless and adventurous creators working today.

The authors examine how direct combat experience has shaped the way the U.S. military approaches training and how indirect experience outside combat has shaped the approach of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The authors then consider the extent to which training and operational model adaptations in both militaries have kept pace with an evolving global context and prepared the U.S. military and PLA for great power conflict.
