This Far-Off Wild Land
In the mid-1800s, Andrew Dawson, self-exiled from his home in Scotland, joined the upper Missouri River fur trade and rose through the ranks of the American Fur Company. A headstrong young man, he had come to America at the age of twenty-four after being dismissed from his second job in two years. His poignant sense of isolation is evident throughout his letters home between 1844 and 1861. In This Far-Off Wild Land, Lesley Wischmann and Andrew Erskine Dawson—a relative of this colorful figure—couple an engaging biography of Dawson with thirty-seven of his previously unpublished letters from the American frontier. Three years after he landed in St. Louis, Dawson went up the Missouri in 18...
A Century of the All Blacks in Britain and Ireland
A seminal moment in the history of Rugby Union Football, indeed in sport itself, occurred in 1905 when the New Zealand rugby side toured Britain and Ireland. The tourists played 32 games and won 31 of them. This book reflects on each game of that tour, and all the other tour matches played by New Zealand in Britain and Ireland since.
Tattybogle
Tattybogle, the scarecrow loves the rain and the wind, and is always cheerful, but one day the wind blows too hard and all that is left is a stick. Or is it?
Hallo Spaceboy
By 1987, David Bowie was at a creative, critical, and commercial low. His most recent album was dismissed by the music press, his latest tour written off as a disaster. Fifteen years after becoming the most colourfully controversial superstar in recent rock history, Bowie was seen as a spent force. Almost twenty years later, Bowie has re-established himself at the very peak of his profession in one of the most extraordinary comebacks in rock history. His 1995 release of the critically-astonishing 1:Outside album has been followed by equally groundbreaking efforts. He is a content family man, married to super-model Iman, and one of the richest musicians in the world. While most biographies on Bowie still focus on his early years, Hallo Spaceboy: The Rebirth of David Bowie is the first to chronicle the comeback in detail. Drawing upon exclusive interviews with fans, colleagues and associates, it is also the long-gestating follow-up to Dave Thompson’s Moonage Daydream (1987), widely hailed among the best David Bowie biographies.

Bogle Chandler Murder Mystery
True crime story, set in 1963, in governmental circles, Canberra Australia. The Bogle Chandler murders garnered world attention. Brilliant Physicist Dr. Gilbert Bogle left a swingers New Year's Eve party with the wife of a colleague, Geoffrey Chandler. Early on New Year's Day the pair were found dead at Lane Cove, on the banks of a river. Forensics were unable to determine cause of death. This is a forensic numerological analysis in which I attempt to establish cause of death of Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler, using my numerological expertise and research. The pair died at the height of the Cold War. Rumours abounded of Soviet spies, Communist Party agents, secrets sold, and an assassination hit on the brilliant scientist who it was said was about to release information the government wanted suppressed.
The Bogle Effect
The index fund wouldn’t be jack without Jack. It was just one innovation fueled by The Vanguard Group founder Jack Bogle’s radical idea in 1975 to make investors the actual owners of his new fund company. While the move was as much to save his job as it was to save investors, the end result was powerful: a fund company for the people and by the people. Bogle began a 50-year process of lowering costs inch by inch, which ultimately unleashed a populist revolt that has saved average investors trillions of dollars while reforming and right-sizing much of the entire financial industry. Today, nearly every dollar invested in America goes to either Vanguard funds or Vanguard-influenced funds. B...
Centre of Excellence
During a 24- year playing career he was a member of the Hawick RFC team which won the last ever unofficial Championship and thereafter eight official Scottish Championships. He was capped 52 times for Scotland (a record at that time), scoring a hatful of tries (several of which appear on 'Best of ...' videos and are still shown regularly on television), penalties and drop-goals. He played for the British Lions in the first Test against South Africa in 1980 and is widely considered to have been unfortunate not to have played in more Tests at that level. A serial tourist in the amateur age, Renwick has witnessed and been part of many exciting and hilarious escapades. He has a naturally mischie...
