The Road to St. Julien
William St Clair is perhaps the only soldier to have left a continuous account of his experiences day by day from the moment of joining up in 1914, through the years of horror in the trenches, to the march into Germany in 1919 and the long aftermath of trying to make sense of what had happened. A private in the medical corps, St Clair wrote daily letters, sometimes more, to his future wife Jane. Often scribbled under fire, and sent in the green envelopes that were exempt from censorship, they tell of the famous battles of Loos, the Somme, and Passchendaele, as they happened, with excruciating vividness. They speak too of aspirations, of conversations, of literature, and of love.Published for the first time, these raw, truthful, and deeply moving. letters give us what we have not properly had before, the voice of an ordinary soldier who is also a wonderful writer. The book takes its title from the village of St Julien in Flanders, where, in a captured German pill box, the mind of young soldier was transformed, an event that he later turned into an award-winning play.
I Am
We have all asked the question, who am I? Where am I? Where do I go when I die? Where did they go when they died? Is there a God? What is the meaning of life? I do not ask you to believe anything in the words of this book. I point you only to a guiding light of great love that can be awoken in us all. Once it does, and the truth of who we are is illuminated, you will have the answers to those questions and more. Let us journey together back through all you thought you were, to remember, to embrace an awakening and rebirth. A rebirth of your true nature and who you always were beneath the veil of thought. May the presence of that light awaken in you, and you know its love, and for the world t...
The Medics of World War One
'Medics' takes a look at the role men played in the care of the sick and wounded during World War One. There is a certain perception, and certainly if one looks at the so-called docudramas related to the injured servicemen during World War One, it would appear that men played no role in the sick and injured men's care. It would be very easy to get the impression that all the care was given by the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service. This is not the case; the care of the sick and wounded actually started in no man's land where they were cared for by the regimental stretcher-bearers and the RAMC orderlies all the way down the line to the Casualty Clearing Stations and even in the General Hospitals. Throughout the text we follow the journey of the wounded from no man's land, down the evacuation chain to the general hospital in England and the colonies, and illustrate the role that the male caregivers undertook in the care of the wounded.
Chaos, Complexity, Curriculum and Culture
Although the fields of chaos and complexity are important in a number of disciplines, they have not yet been influential in education. This book remedies this dilemma by gathering essays by authors from around the world who have studied and applied chaos and complexity theories to their teaching. Rich in its material, recursive in its interweaving of themes, conversational in its relationships, and rigorous in its analysis, the book is essential reading for undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals who deal with these important topics.
The Sideways Tree
When one little tree grows sideways the other trees in the forest begin to make fun of him. Soon though they realize that the way we let light in, can change the way we let life out. A timeless tale to teach that our differences in life are to be celebrated. Written by the founder of a Children's Village built for children with special needs living in crisis in the foot hills of Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.
