Three nations at war. Three forgotten armies. Three Kingdoms trying to make sense of a world in turmoil. For farm wagoner Bert Kingdom life is sweet - a pretty wife, a new family, and prospects on the up beneath the intense glow of a perfect English summer. And then the war came. Instead of domestic bliss, he arms himself with the promise longed-for reunions with Alice and his baby son. This is the ammunition he knows he must carry if he has any chance of surviving the murderous futility of Gallipoli. Twenty-five years later - and under the lingering shadow of his father - Walter Kingdom is experiencing a doubt-ridden and grisly foreign war of his own. In the steamy forests of Burma, a startling coincidence provides an unexpected chance to discover the missing pieces of the jigsaw relating to his family's past. Little does he know that it is the dawn of a journey that will last the remainder of his life, on the elusive trail of Johnson, the only man who knows the truth. Alice Kingdom is also fighting on the frontline. Her war in Nottingham is just as brutal and bloody as anything her husband and son will experience, but she is battling more personal demons too. It must fall to Walter, and the answers he seeks, to exorcise the ghosts that haunt her and to attempt to bring the three Kingdoms back together once again. The man who found treasure is historical fiction with a literary edge. It is a heart-in-your-mouth story of loss and lost time, of re-discovery and the survival instinct. It is a diorama cut across decades, revealing the tumultuous impact of war on one family - a war that leaves no peace behind.

Every company has its own values and brand which it wants its customers and clients to engage with and develop loyalty to. At the same time, research shows that 70% of customers' brand perception is determined by their experience with the company's employees. Moreover, 41% of customers are loyal because of good employee attitude. This book shows how companies can translate their values and brand into the daily practices and behaviour of their employees, especially those who must deal directly with customers. Drawing its principles from psychology, sociology, philosophy, neuroscience, and leadership, the 31 Practices method has been successfully adopted by large and small companies around the world and has been responsible for significantly enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.

The silly old nucleus system is disregarded. Atoms involve chains of particles. This is supported by radiation, the periodic table and exothermic reactions. There are original ideas on magnetism, light, electricity and gravity. Structures are proposed for atoms, protons and electrons. A neutron appears to be a proton with a closely bonded and disruptive electron. There is also a level of explanation for particle fields and bonding. This publication is of about 14,000 words and 57 diagrams. It is written in a manner which does not assume much prior knowledge, but it is still suitable for science professors and anyone else with a science interest.

Do you want a life with a clear purpose? Do you want to be happy and less stressed? Do you want to be the best you can be? For most of us, "Yes" is an easy answer, but to do this is more of a challenge. This book provides a powerful and personal framework to help you find your own superhero and to be the best version of yourself.It all starts with your core personal values, giving a foundation for the way you want to behave. Values are like a moral compass, guiding us when we face choice and uncertainty. When our behaviour is not aligned with our values, we feel stressed. But when our hearts, minds and bodies are aligned, then we find great personal power. Part workbook, part guidebook, My 31 Practices will help you to identify the right values for your life and then translate them into day-to-day behaviour.

"YOU WILL SPEND 1 YEAR IN BED" When the doctor told me about chemotherapy and its effects, I learned how to rest and trust, hearing God's voice louder than my circumstance or the voice of man. Some say that faith requires you to 'get out of the boat' - but for me, faith looked like getting out of bed and getting into a boat. When the doctor told me that I would be in bed for a year, my wife and I decided to develop a bucket list. These goals gave me hope. I started sculling - and with the dosage of chemotherapy that I was receiving - I shouldn't have been able to do it...But I did. I want to share with you how I made it through the worst part of chemo treatments and how I went from being fearful to thankful in daily living. See more at TransformationalAdventure.com

"I have shaken hands with the grips of death...not once, not twice, but three times...all on varying occasions. I have had a doctor look me square in the eye and somberly say, 'You should've died. We do not know how you're still alive.' Several years later, it appeared that my cancer had metastasized and I had a small chance of survival.' And yet, after this, I find myself in continual healing and restoration from head to toe - body, soul and spirit. I want to share with you what changed my life." - Alan Williams TransformationalAdventure.com
