Black Arrow Blue Diamond
Brian Mercer is one of the most outstanding post-war RAF fighter pilots and in this eminently readable autobiography he recaptures life as it was in the days of transition from flying piston-powered aircraft to jet power. His flying and leadership skills resulted in a long association with what was then considered as the finest aerobatic display team in the world - Treble One Squardron's 'Black Arrows'. Flying the elegant black Hawker Hunters in large formation displays was no easy task and the author explains in great detail how their legendary precision was achieved, revealing many exciting incidents en route. When Treble One's Hunters were replaced with the supersonic Lightning fighter, i...

Fringes
Updated edition of the #1 Amazon Bestseller LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE 2020 Sports books tend to detail extraordinary achievements, triumphs against the odds or commemorate World Cup winning captains.

In Fringes, Ben Mercer invites you to witness life at the outer edges of professional rugby. This is a first hand account of what life is like as a journeyman professional athlete. You play, but to the wider public you don't exist. You earn but you don't drive a flash car. Y...

A Boy from New Jersey
It is not generally realised how many young Americans volunteered for the Canadian and British armed forces long before the USA was herself forced into World War 2. There were literally thousands of them, and the best known were the pilots who joined the RCAF and the RAF. Eleven of them fought in the Battle of Britain and two hundred and forty four served in the three Eagle Squadrons, which were Royal Air Force fighter squadrons composed of American volunteers. More than one third of these pilots did not survive the war. This book tells the story of two fictional American college students who are amateur pilots and they volunteer for the RAF just prior to the French collapse in June 1940. To...

Math in Our World
"Writing the first edition of a math text, especially in an evolving area like quantitative reasoning, is part art and part science. You use your training and experience as an instructor to decide on the approach and the most appropriate topics. You travel a lot and talk to anyone who doesn't run away when they see you coming to gather more professional opinions. You count on your crack publisher's team to conduct surveys and focus groups. Then you put it all together and make some educated guesses, hoping that the result hits the mark"--
Learning Policy, Doing Policy
When it comes to policymaking, public servants have traditionally learned ‘on the job’, with practical experience and tacit knowledge valued over theory-based learning and academic analysis. Yet increasing numbers of public servants are undertaking policy training through postgraduate qualifications and/or through short courses in policy training. Learning Policy, Doing Policy explores how policy theory is understood by practitioners and how it influences their practice. The book brings together insights from research, teaching and practice on an issue that has so far been understudied. Contributors include Australian and international policy scholars, and current and former practitioner...
