Craig Douglas was a Firing Sergeant for an Artillery Troop in Afghanistan. He spent 6 months in FOB Inkerman, also known as FOB Incoming due to the amount of attacks it was subjected to by the Taliban. His tour was from October 2007 until April 2008. Prior to him arriving, Ross Kemp had been through the base and on patrol experiencing a fire fight with the Taliban. In the month of November the base was practically attacked every day and resupply was few and far between due to the hostile location. Put on your body armour, don your helmet and take cover. The shells fall thick and fast with devastating consequences. Inside these pages you'll find frustration, humour, fear, chickens and a goat. Welcome to Helmand Province through the eyes of an ordinary soldier who found himself in an extraordinary country.
Another great actor explores himself and his profession in this terrifically scathing parody of the theatrical memoir. Hilarious, vindictive and very accurate.
For more than thirty years Craig Douglas has experienced the ups and downs of life two-hundred feet above the ocean waves. His safety training company has been at the forefront of the oil industry in every corner of the globe during those three decades. And his story is one of endeavour, adventure and, mostly, hilarity. In Circulate Bottoms Up, Craig introduces us to Mexican pirates, ill-mannered Americans, Scottish psychos, and even a spear-throwing Indonesian picket line. He dodges Brazilian kidnappers, convinces a South African film-crew his workmate is Diego Maradona, and somehow flees Qatar with a suitcase of banknotes and his liberty. Circulate Bottoms Up is everything you ever needed to know about the oil industry and so much more.
This is the frank account of a woman trying to help 5 emotionally disturbed youngsters.
NSA is a comprehensive collection of international nuclear science and technology literature for the period 1948 through 1976, pre-dating the prestigious INIS database, which began in 1970. NSA existed as a printed product (Volumes 1-33) initially, created by DOE's predecessor, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). NSA includes citations to scientific and technical reports from the AEC, the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration and its contractors, plus other agencies and international organizations, universities, and industrial and research organizations. References to books, conference proceedings, papers, patents, dissertations, engineering drawings, and journal articles from worldwide sources are also included.

Is wealth inequality a universal feature of human societies, or did early peoples live an egalitarian existence? How did inequality develop before the modern era? Did inequalities in wealth increase as people settled into a way of life dominated by farming and herding? Why in general do such disparities increase, and how recent are the high levels of wealth inequality now experienced in many developed nations? How can archaeologists tell? Ten Thousand Years of Inequality addresses these and other questions by presenting the first set of consistent quantitative measurements of ancient wealth inequality. The authors are archaeologists who have adapted the Gini index, a statistical measure of w...
