Gary L Beer a Short Autobiography Amazon Colour Edition 2013
There is no playground or anything to amuse the children and our playground is the surrounding fields and woodlands. We build camps and hunt slow worms and lizards in the summer in the fields. The young slow worms appear magical: a bright gold coloring covers their backs and in bright sunshine this glistens and gleams and fills us with wonder.The slow worms do not bite and are fairly placid when held in the hand - apart from the young gold ones! They constantly wriggle and try to escape - which they normally do as we do not hold them too tight for fear of hurting them.Dad has some cage birds: zebra fiches, cordon blues and strawberry finches which he keeps in cages in the living room. As Dad has pets we all want some as well and we finally have pets when I am about seven years old - guinea pigs, tortoises and a dog called Cindy. Cindy is a scruffy mongrel who has light brown long hair like just like an old English sheepdog - only brown and about two thirds the size. She is a great dog, very friendly to everyone and is happy being tied up near the back door as long as she can see the front of the house.
Teaching English Literature 16-19
Teaching English Literature 16 – 19 is an essential new resource that is suitable for use both as an introductory guide for those new to teaching literature and also as an aid to reflection and renewal for more experienced teachers.

Aimed at English teachers, teacher trainees, teacher trainers and advisors, this resource is packed full of new and workable ideas for teaching all English literature courses.
White Dog
Both a personal memoir and a French novelist's encounter with American reality, White Dog is an unforgettable portrait of racism and hypocrisy. Set in the tumultuous Los Angeles of 1968, Romain Gary's story begins when a German shepherd strays into his life: "He was watching me, his head cocked to one side, with that unbearable intensity of dogs in the pound waiting for a rescuer." A lost police canine, this "white dog" is programmed to respond violently to the sight of a black man and Gary's attempts to deprogram it—like his attempts to protect his wife, the actress Jean Seberg; like her endeavors to help black activists; like his need to rescue himself from the "predicament of being trapped, lock, stock and barrel within a human skin"—lead from crisis to grief. Using the re-education of this adopted pet as a metaphor for the need to quash American racism, Gary develops a domestic crisis into a full-scale social allegory.
My Take
Take That were the original British boy band. They sold out arenas in less time than it took to play one of their chart-topping singles. Gary Barlow was the band's gifted front man who not only wrote hits such as 'Pray' and 'A Million Love Songs' but sang them too. Then the band quit at the very height of their fame. Here Gary reveals for the first time his ride on the rollercoaster of fame, the truth behind the rumours of the band's feuding and his fall-out with Robbie, and how he sank into depression only to rise again in one of pop's greatest comebacks: the record-breaking Take That reunion tour. Candid, confident and down-to-earth, Gary is definitely back for good.
Romain Gary
Airman, war hero, immigrant, law student, diplomat, novelist and celebrity spouse, Romain Gary had several lives thrust upon him by the history of the twentieth century, but he also aspired to lead many more. He wrote more than two dozen books and a score of short stories under several different names in two languages, English and French, neither of which was his mother tongue. Gary had a gift for narrative that endeared him to ordinary readers, but won him little respect among critics far more intellectual than he could ever be. His varied and entertaining writing career tells a different story about the making of modern literary culture than the one we are accustomed to hear. Born Roman Ka...
Doc Holliday
Acclaim for Doc Holliday "Splendid . . . not only the most readable yet definitive study of Holliday yet published, it is one of the best biographies of nineteenth-century Western 'good-bad men' to appear in the last twenty years. It was so vivid and gripping that I read it twice." --Howard R. Lamar, Sterling Professor Emeritus of History, Yale University, and author of The New Encyclopedia of the American West "The history of the American West is full of figures who have lived on as romanticized legends. They deserve serious study simply because they have continued to grip the public imagination. Such was Doc Holliday, and Gary Roberts has produced a model for looking at both the life and t...

A Place Called Heaven
On December 23, 1966, eighteen-year-old Gary Wood was driving with his younger sister Sue along a dark street in their hometown. They were heading home, singing Christmas songs, when Sue spotted an illegally parked tow truck sticking into their lane of traffic. Her scream pierced the night only a moment before the car crashed headlong into the obstruction. Join Dr. Wood as he recaps his miraculous experience of twenty minutes spent in A Place Called Heaven. Just before he returned to earth, Gary was commissioned by Jesus to make Him real to people, wherever he went.
