And Then... Vol 2

Languages : en
Pages : 573
Book Description
Once upon a time, in a land Down Under, from the depths of the Clan cave, Clan Destine Press issued a challenge to Australian and Kiwi authors to write cliff-hanging, Australian-flavoured, action-packed adventure stories for two protagonists; stories of the What If, What Now, And Then... kind. This was a catnip call, an irresistible lure, a kid-in-a-candy-store kind of a challenge: what writer wouldn't want to take a crack at that? To make it that little bit more intriguing, the editors decreed the stories could be contemporary, historical, realistic, far-out, spec-fic, horror, SF, or urban fantasy; and, in a spirit of mischief, that at least one of the two protagonists must be human. You'd think that would cover all bases. But writers are a contrary bunch: they pushed these very broad boundaries even further. The result is not one, but two volumes of kick-arse, action-packed stories: And Then... The Great Big Book of Adventure Tales. This is Volume 2: a fascinating collection of genre-bending adventure stories garnered from a mix of sf, fantasy and crime writers, happily encroaching upon each other's territories, and then some.

Trifles From My Portfolio; Or, Recollections Of Scenes And Small Adventures -
Author: Surgeon Walter Henry
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1782890130
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
As a “cutter”, or regimental surgeon, Walter Henry faced the bloodiest side of the military in no less than three continents. “In December 1811 he became an assistant surgeon in the 66th Foot, with which he served throughout the Peninsular War, participating in numerous actions including Badajoz, Vitoria, and Nivelle. Henry was posted to India and Nepal in 1815 with the regiment’s first battalion, which was recalled in 1817 to join the second battalion in garrisoning the south Atlantic island of St Helena, where Napoleon was confined. He found the former French emperor “unsightly and obese”; in 1821 he kept the official notes made during Napoleon’s autopsy. Subsequently he served with the 66th in Ireland (1822–27), and in 1826 was made regimental surgeon. In 1827 Henry arrived in the Canadas with his regiment, which was stationed at Quebec (1827–30 and 1835–39), Montreal (1830–31), Kingston (1831–33 and 1834–35), and York (Toronto) (1833–34). Promoted surgeon to the army medical department in 1839, he remained at Quebec until 1841, when he was posted to Halifax where four years later he became a deputy inspector general of military hospitals. He returned to England in 1848 but in 1852 came back to Quebec as inspector general in charge of military medical services in British North America. His career seems not to have had medical distinction. Nevertheless his memoirs leave little doubt of his surgical competence, and his courage was exemplary both in battle and while performing equally dangerous work such as during the cholera epidemics.”Dict. Canadian Bio. A valuable memoir for both early life in Canada and a surgeon’s life in the Napoleonic Wars.

Book Description
Titus Dittmann has been a lot of things: 2CV mechanic in the Sahara desert, hang-glider and snowboard pioneer, secondary school teacher, entrepreneur of the year and racecar driver. The man with the beanie, who made skateboarding popular in Germany and who has left a mark on generations of children and teenagers with his legendary company TITUS can't be pigeonholed.

He talks about self-built cars, skateboard legend Tony Hawk, and the happy feeling of having nothing left to lose. This is all true to the motto: 'Don't let others butt into your life! Do your own thing, but take responsibility if it doesn't work out!' OPEN AND ABOVE BOARD is all in one: an iconic book, an economic crime story and lively chronicle. Titus Dittmann, geboren 1948 in Kirchen an der Sieg, studierte in Münster Pädagogik, Sport und Geografie. Das Thema seiner Examensarbeit: »Skateboarding im Schulsportunterricht?« Seinen Beamtendienst als Lehrer quittierte er 1984 und begann den Aufbau seines Unternehmens TITUS, dem er einen Skatepark anschloss. Heute ist TITUS Europas größter Anbieter von Skateboards und Streetwear. Mittlerweile führt die Geschäfte Sohn Julius. Titus selbst kehrte zu seinen Wurzeln zurück: Er lehrt an der Universität Münster und nutzt die Kraft des Skateboardens, um weltweit mit »skate-aid« die Situation von Jugendlichen in Krisen-, Kriegs- und Entwicklungsgebieten zu verbessern. Titus Dittmann was born in Kirchen on the river Sieg in 1948. He studied pedagogics, physical education and geography in Münster. The topic of his thesis was »Skateboarding in Physical Education?«.
