I Wanted to Be an Actor, But I Could Never Remember My Lines
In I Wanted to be an Actor, but I Could Never Remember My Lines, Brendan Donnelly re-appropriates framed film stills, headshots, red carpet paparazzi photos and postcards and turns them into stylized juxtapositions of present day and yesteryear celebrities. I Wanted to be an Actor, but I Could Never Remember My Lines encapsulates the full clash of feelings inspired by the trappings of celebrity.
A Good Day for a Killing
When IRA Chief of Staff Mick O'Reilly, known as 'The Big Man', rescued the wounded Brendan Donnelly from under the noses of the British Paras the same night that his brother and top IRA marksman, Liam Donnelly, was shot and killed in the Falls Road, he had no idea that the same man would return ten years later with a plot that could destabilise the whole of the Western World - or that he would use his dead brother's thirteen year old son as a weapon of destruction. At the same time Salim Bin Gaafar, 'The Fist of Allah', is planning a multiple suicide bombing that would lead to the biggest loss of life on the United Kingdom mainland since the Second World War. Brigadier John Mason and his unofficial 'Crazy Gang' of top level operatives have only a very limited time to seek out and destroy both these threats to world order.
Not in Our Name
The authors provide a revealing account of how the making of foreign policy in Britain bypasses the democratic process.
Mining Technology
Mining is essential for extracting natural resources. However, it is costly, potentially dangerous if poorly managed, and is perceived by some to be an environmentally unfriendly process. This book provides a comprehensive overview of mining technology with case examples and research. Chapters discuss a diversity of topics, including sonic drilling, quality assessment of rock bolts, block cave mine ventilation, microwave radar surveillance, safety management of tailings, and monitoring radon gas in underground mines.
On the Edge
During the past twenty years the British discussion of European issues has increasingly lost contact with reality or rationality. Wilful ignorance, political opportunism and media manipulation have unrecognizably distorted the European debate in the United Kingdom. Even those in theory favourable to a central and constructive British role in the European Union have found themselves endorsing many of the premises of their opponents. In this short book, British attitudes to the European Union, particularly those of the media and political classes, will be critically reviewed. The authors conclude that Britain's position within the Union is currently in great jeopardy; and that those who sincerely wish to ward off this danger need fundamentally to reconsider the political tactics and rhetoric they have employed until now.
Odd Man Out? Myth and Realities in the British Approach to the European Union
For some politicians and commentators, Britain is always destined to be the 'odd man out' in the European Union, with a history and set of political attitudes which must always pit the United Kingdom's interests against those of its neighbours. For others, such claims of British exceptionalism are at best much exaggerated, and to the extent this exceptionalism exists it arises largely from subjective rather than objective factors. This collection of essays reviews British attitudes towards a number of current European issues. It does not attempt finally to decide the controversy about British exceptionalism, but rather to provide material for a more informed debate on this complex subject.

Slow Selling
In today's revolutionary market the classic sales model is both out of date and dangerous.
