Do you marvel at people who seemingly have it all only to drop everything for life in a remote village? Have you wondered about leaving your roots for migration to the unknown? ‘Fit only for climbing coconut trees.’ The mockery invented by Philip’s father because he was badminton-mad and useless (said father) at all else, lingered with him through school in Malaysia. It travelled with him on an Aeroflot to England in 1970, aged 18, functioning on adrenaline. It stuck through his navigation of parochial middle England – washing backsides in a mental hospital, law practice, sports, and professional and personal relationships. Toughened by an Indian father and a Chinese coach, lifted by a messiah-like Englishman and grounded by a Labrador soulmate, Racket Boy – Where’s My Country, explores Philip’s life over six decades. From being ordered by the British government to leave England, accosted in Bombay, mugged in Barcelona to horse-trading with a petro giant in Ecuador and thrilling in a World Cup in military-ruled Argentina, to list just a few. Philip is now a spectator in the hills of Tuscany, more than just fit to be climbing coconut trees!

Philip George Burke

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
2011
sidottu
Commencing with a self-contained overview of atomic collision theory, this monograph presents recent developments of R-matrix theory and its applications to a wide-range of atomic molecular and optical processes. These developments include the electron and photon collisions with atoms, ions and molecules which are required in the analysis of laboratory and astrophysical plasmas, multiphoton processes required in the analysis of superintense laser interactions with atoms and molecules and positron collisions with atoms and molecules required in antimatter studies of scientific and technologial importance. Basic mathematical results and general and widely used R-matrix computer programs are summarized in the appendices.

What to Say to Your Crazy Right-Wing Uncle

What to Say to Your Crazy Right-Wing Uncle

Samuel Warren Joseph; Philip George Proctor

Sam/Phil Books
2019
pokkari
What to Say to Your Crazy Right-Wing Uncle is a fun, informative handbook for progressives to counter conservative talking points and disinformation. Full of funny and clever dialogue and political cartoons, this is a perfect gift for your political allies and the loved ones in your life who you are driving you nuts.Thom Hartmann, the number one progressive radio talk show host in the U.S., writes in the book's foreword: "In 'What to Say, ' Sam and Phil provide both a template for talking back to your Crazy Uncle (who's not really crazy, just misinformed) and a narrative script, both as example and detail. It's a small but important step in reclaiming truth and sanity in the midst of an insane and often nakedly untruthful media landscape."The book addresses such hot topics as Republican scandals, gun control, abortion, the Supreme Court, and income inequality. For instance, in the chapter "Kids in Cages", myths about immigration are debunked. In "Corruption Eruption," the Trump swamp are laid bare. In "Going to Pot," the pros and cons of legalization are examined, as well as many more current topics.

Some True Adventures in the Life of Hugh Glass, a Hunter and Trapper on the Missouri River

Some True Adventures in the Life of Hugh Glass, a Hunter and Trapper on the Missouri River

Philip St George Cooke

"Cooke's account is...that Glass was caught too suddenly to retreat and staked his all upon a single shot...the bear rushed upon Glass with such speed that escape was impossible." - The American Fur Trade of the Far West (1902) "Cooke...follows Glass minutely through all the adventurous way up the Missouri River...toward the supposed rendezvous of Henry's trappers." -James Bridger, Trapper, Frontiersman, Scout and Guide (1925) "Cooke started his prairie life in 1829 as lieutenant in the expedition to the boundary to escort Santa Fe traders. In 1831 he made a trip overland to the Platte and to the Missouri." -The Plains and the Rockies (1920) Mauled by a grizzly bear at the headwaters of the Missouri River and left for dead by fellow mountain men Fitzgerald and the youthful Jim Bridger, how did Hugh Glass manage to revive and crawl 200 miles to Fort Kiowa, South Dakota? In 1857, Philip St. George Cooke (1809 -1895) would publish a short 10-page account of adventures of Hugh Glass inside his 1857 book titled, "Scenes and Adventures in the Army." It is this 10-page account that has been republished here for the convenience of the interested reader, "Some True Adventures in the Life of Hugh Glass, a Hunter and Trapper on the Missouri River." Hugh Glass (c. 1780-1833) was an American fur trapper and frontiersman noted for his exploits in the American West during the first third of the 19th century. Glass was born in Pennsylvania, to Irish parents. He was an explorer of the watershed of the Upper Missouri River in present day North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. Glass was famed, most of all, as a frontier folk hero for his legendary cross-country trek after being mauled by a grizzly bear. Glass' most famous adventure began in 1822, when he responded to an advertisement in the Missouri Gazette and Public Adviser, placed by General William Ashley, which called for a corps of 100 men to "ascend the river Missouri" as part of a fur trading venture. These men would later be known as Ashley's Hundred. In modern pop culture, Hugh Glass is best known as the hero of the 2015 movie, The Revenant. The screenplay by Mark L. Smith and I rritu is based in part on Michael Punke's 2002 novel of the same name, which describes frontiersman Hugh Glass's experiences in 1823; that novel is, in turn, based on the 1915 poem The Song of Hugh Glass. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio & Tom Hardy.
