From the Jungle to the Deep Blue Sea
British forces have had a presence in British Honduras, Belize, or the wider Caribbean since the mid-17th century. This presence has included Royal Navy, Royal Marine, Army and, more recently, the RAF. Over the years, force levels increased and decreased depending on the political situation with Guatemala at the time, and the inherent threat of a possible Guatemalan border confrontation. At times, force levels reached roughly Brigade strength with additional RAF and RN support. Serving in Belize during this time was an exciting experience for most young men. On the one hand you had relatively poor living conditions in some of the camps nearer the Guatemalan border; the harsh and inhospitable jungle when carrying out patrols; the routine task of manning isolated observation posts on the tops of the Maya and Toledo mountains overlooking the Guatemalan border. Once away from the duties of securing the border you had the opportunity to see the gentler side of Belize. From the Jungle to the Deep Blue Sea is a down to earth book about individual memories and experiences of servicemen in Belize.
Arctic Warrior
The years from 1960 until 1980 were probably the height of the 'Cold War' between the USSR and the Western nations, divided by Churchill's famous 'Iron Curtain'. The threat to world peace felt real and the West, in the form of NATO, needed a high-profile quick reaction force to address this threat to any NATO country with a common border with the USSR. The result was the formation, in 1960 of a new Force, the Allied Command Europe (ACE) Multinational Force, Land or AMF(L). In 1967, the Royal Corps of Signals added its first permanent unit to this force and this commitment continued until the disbandment of AMF(L) in 2002. Becoming an Arctic Warrior required each man to undertake specialist survival and winter warfare training in order to be able to fight effectively in extreme and inhospitable conditions. This book is a collection of individual soldiers experiences of serving with this force along the common borders with the USSR, predominantly in Arctic Norway, Turkey and Greece.
Contributions to Law, Philosophy and Ecology
Contributions to Law, Philosophy and Ecology: Exploring Re-Embodiments is a preliminary contribution to the establishment of re-embodiments as a theoretical strand within legal and ecological theory, and philosophy. Re-embodiments are all those contemporary practices and processes that exceed the epistemic horizon of modernity. As such, they offer a plurality of alternative modes of theory and practice that seek to counteract the ecocidal tendencies of the Anthropocene. The collection comprises eleven contributions approaching re-embodiments from a multiplicity of fields, including legal theory, eco-philosophy, eco-feminism and anthropology. The contributions are organized into three parts: ...

For the Wild
For the Wild explores the ways in which the commitments of radical environmental and animal-rights activists develop through powerful experiences with the more-than-human world during childhood and young adulthood. The book addresses the question of how and why activists come to value nonhuman animals and the natural world as worthy of protection. Emotions and memories of wonder, love, compassion, anger, and grief shape activists’ protest practices and help us understand their deep-rooted dedicaztion to the planet and its creatures. Drawing on analyses of activist art, music, and writings, as well as interviews and participant-observation in activist communities, Sarah M. Pike delves into the sacred duties of these often misunderstood and marginalized groups with openness and sensitivity.
Fifty drops of Love and Light
'Fifty drops of Love and Light' is een e-book met Engelse gedichten, filosofisch-religieus getint, die beogen de lezer bewuster te maken van de universele verbondenheid, eenheid en heelheid in Liefde en daardoor van wie hij/zij dan werkelijk is. De gedichten zijn een welgemeende poging om aan te tonen dat het helemaal niet gaat om de illusoire buitenkant van het leven van alledag, maar veeleer om De Kern van Liefde en Licht die in alle wezens aanwezig is en Die steeds hetzelfde is en blijft. Juist daardoor zijn wij allen één! 'Fifty drops of Love and Light' is an e-book with English poems, with a philosophical-religious tint, that aim to make the reader more aware of the universal connection, unity and wholeness in Love and therefore of who he/she really is. The poems are a sincere attempt to show that it is not about the illusory exterior of everyday life, but rather about The Core of Love and Light that is present in all beings and that is and always remains the same. That is precisely why we are all one!
Night of the Grizzlies
For more than half a century, grizzly bears roamed free in the national parks without causing a human fatality. Then in 1967, on a single August night, two campers were fatally mauled by enraged bears -- thus signaling the beginning of the end for America's greatest remaining land carnivore. Night of the Grizzlies, Olsen's brilliant account of another sad chapter in America's vanishing frontier, traces the causes of that tragic night: the rangers' careless disregard of established safety precautions and persistent warnings by seasoned campers that some of the bears were acting "funny"; the comforting belief that the great bears were not really dangerous -- would attack only when provoked. The popular sport that summer was to lure the bears with spotlights and leftover scraps -- in hopes of providing the tourists with a show, a close look at the great "teddy bears." Everyone came, some of the younger campers even making bold enough to sleep right in the path of the grizzlies' known route of arrival. This modern "bearbaiting" could have but one tragic result…
With a View of the Ocean
After the hitchhiking journeys described in the book "Lonesome Streets Blues", the author found his place on Earth in a small Portuguese town. He landed there by responding to an advertisement from an "eccentric artist seeking a partner to run an antique shop and an illegal restaurant." Ten years later, he finds himself in Portugal again, and the circumstances are even more astonishing than before. "A few months later, I called one of the protagonists of my memoirs, Joachim, whom I met on the trail to Santiago. After reading a few passages, he asked, 'Daniel, did you have some kind of recorder when you talked to me? Do you have such a good memory? After all, this is repeated word for word!'" While the majority of events that unfolded after the author's return to Portugal proved to be genuinely unconventional and unexpected, this narrative also reflects the everyday, less thrilling life in the RV, the daily job and family relations. Nevertheless, the unique ability to shape one's life into a novel without embellishment is something extraordinary in today's times, when social media often present a story completely different from the reality. This one shows exactly how it was.
