It's Not a Rehearsal
Born Shirley Broadbent, Amanda Barrie has been working since she was three. She has performed on stage countless times, from chorus girl to West End lead, appeared in a number of films and has been a familiar face on television from its earliest beginnings. In this autobiography, Amanda recounts anecdotes from her packed professional life, including her famous roles in Carry On Cleo, as Alma in Coronation Street and conwoman Bev in Bad Girls. She also reflects, with characteristic humour, on events in her personal life including her disrupted childhood, disastrous school life and her relationships with men and women including the remarkable threesome that she shared with her husband Robin Hunter.
It's Not a Rehearsal
Amanda Barrie's autobiography is as warm, funny and honest as the woman herself. Best known for her portrayal of CORONATION STREET's Alma, she reveals the whole truth about her extraordinary life. From a disrupted childhood with an obsessively ambitious mother, a spell as a teenage chorus girl in Soho, a highly successful career in film, theatre and television, to West End leading lady - it's all here. For the first time she talks frankly about her private life and the relationships she has shared with men and women. Surprising, moving - and humorous - this is a roller-coaster of an autobiography!
Revenge
...The breathing difficulty continued, and he couldn't get up. It seemed as if he was being held down. He felt a sense of panic. But at the same time he felt as if he was drifting into a deeper state of sleep. For a short time he fought these conflicting sensations, but eventually he surrendered to the latter feeling. One by one, prominent staff physicians, who also are members of the Medical executive Committee of Covenant Hospital in Chicago, are dying under mysterious circumstances. When Dr. Harrison is found dead in his home, it appears to be a tragic heart attack. Then Dr. Spann dies of meningitis. When Dr. Albert is found dead in his garage from an apparent suicide, the hospital employees only have slight suspicions about the real cause of death. By the time Dr. Gottlieb expires from a venous air embolism, it becomes apparent that a serial killer is on the loose--and Dr. Jason Pollard knows what he has to do to stop it. Pollard, along with Detective Richard Galinski and his daughter, Amanda Galinski, collaborate in an effort to solve the case. Will they be able to catch the killer before any more doctors die?
Marketing for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs are great at coming up with new ideas and, often by sheer passion alone, getting their business started. But for long-term success they must be aware of the secrets of marketing. Even if they don't always market their product themselves, they need to understand the processes enough to ensure that the job is being done well. The book identifies marketing as the entire process of researching, creating, distributing and selling the product or service. It isn’t about theory and metrics; instead, it’s a practical guide that starts with the basis of all marketing: the proper mindset. The book: de-mystifies branding, showing how it is never a process undertaken for its own sake (o...
German Moravian Missionaries in the British Colony of Victoria, Australia, 1848-1908
Focusing on the six decades that German Moravian missionaries worked in the British colony of Victoria, Australia, this book enriches understanding of colonial politics and the role of the non-British other in manipulating practice and policy in foreign realms. Central to the transnational nature of the book are questions of identity and of how individuals, and the organisations they worked for, can be seen as both colluders and opposers within nation-state borders and politics. It analyses the ways in which the Moravian missionaries navigated competing agendas within the colonial setting, especially those that impacted on their sense of personal vocation, their practices of conversion, and their understandings of the indigenous non-Christian peoples in the settler society of Victoria.
Genetics in Practice
Nurses are increasingly being asked to provide information when a genetic diagnosis is made, whether to the individual patient or to members of his or her family. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to present day genetic services, to help professionals feel more confident when dealing with queries or advising where to go for further information. Comprehensive case studies are used to explain the various models of inheritance and explore the possibilities for families, following genetic diagnosis. Family history-taking, risk assessment, basic biology of chromosomes and genes, and laboratory techniques are all described. Issues of ethnicity and ethics are addressed. The book also discusses the development of the role of the genetic nurse counselor.
Education and Empire
This book tracks the changes in government involvement in Indigneous children’s education over the nineteenth century, drawing on case studies from the Caribbean, Australia and South Africa. Schools were pivotal in the production and reproduction of racial difference in the colonies of settlement. Between 1833 and 1880, there were remarkable changes in thinking about education in Britain and the Empire with it increasingly seen as a government responsibility. At the same time, children’s needs came to be seen as different to those of their parents, and childhood was approached as a time to make interventions into Indigenous people’s lives. This period also saw shifts in thinking about race. Members of the public, researchers, missionaries and governments discussed the function of education, considering whether it could be used to further humanitarian or settler colonial aims. Underlying these questions were anxieties regarding the status of Indigenous people in newly colonised territories: the successful education of their children could show their potential for equality.
