He is also a successful published author, one of his books having been acclaimed by a professional reviewer as having a good claim to be the finest biography of an angler ever written.
From MTV to Mecca by Mereo Books
In the early 1990’s Kristiane Backer was one of the very first presenters of MTV Europe. For some years she lived and breathed the international music scene, quickly gaining a cult following amongst viewers and becoming a darling of European press. As she reached the pinnacle of her success she realised that, despite having all she could have wished for, she was never truly satisfied. Something very important was missing. A fateful meeting with Pakistani cricket hero Imran Khan changed her life. He invited her to his country where she encountered a completely different world from the one she knew, the religion and culture of Islam. Instead of pop and rock stars she was meeting men and wome...
Bonnie Montrose
ÿOriginally published in 1899, this collection of poems and songs by Montrose resident William F McHardy was forgotten for more than a century until the author?s great grandson, Bob McHardy, rediscovered it and decided to republish it in his ancestor?s memory, with most of the profits divided between Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Tesco?s Charity of the Year. This facsimile edition is a faithful paperback reproduction by Mereo of the original book published in Montrose by George A. Bowman.
A Life Without Limits
Severely disabled after contracting polio as a baby in working class Liverpool, Bert Massie found himself wondering as a boy why disabled people were expected to adapt to the world around them, and not the other way round. In his teens he began to campaign for rights for disabled people, and having battled his way through prejudice and the education system to become a Bachelor of Arts and a qualified social worker, he became a prominent figure in the fight for fair treatment for disabled people leading to the ground breaking Disability Discrimination Act. He went on to serve as Chairman of the Disability Rights Commission and became a founding commissioner of the subsequent Equality and Human Rights Commission. His extraordinary achievements were recognised by the award of an OBE, then a CBE and finally, in 2007, a knighthood. This is his remarkable and engaging story, completed by his wife Maureen and friends after his death in October 2017.
Rhythm of the Seasons
ÿ Christine Irving's home in the north-east of England allows her to enjoy and appreciate some of Britain's most unspoilt countryside. As the landscape constantly changes with the seasons, she can appreciate the beauty of nature in every month of the year. "Each season teaches us many things, and delivers inspiration and a different message each time," as she puts it. This collection of poems has been written to celebrate this changing landscape and the new scenes that nature offers all year round. "I hope the verses in this book capture the essence of each moment that I have experienced in my beautiful homeland, and that you too can enjoy the beauty of each season with me."
Jealous Justice
Alan Thorne, the son of a soldier and a midwife from the Welsh Valleys, rose through the ranks of his local police force to become a chief superintendent in his early forties, with an outstanding reputation and several awards and commendations to his credit. However, along the road he made one or two enemies. This is the story of how a decent `top copper' found himself framed by jealous colleagues for a non-existent offence and had no choice but to resign from the force and rebuild his life - and how he then found himself facing a terrible personal tragedy. A fascinating and very frank insight into how policing works - and how sometimes it doesn't. ÿ
Pigeon Man
Jim Emerton bred and raced birds for 40 years and had birds return to the loft from as far as 879 miles away. Now in retirement from active racing, he devotes his time and energies to sharing his experiences, his observations and his expertise with the rest of the fancy. Here in one volume is a comprehensive collection of his thoughts about pigeons and pigeon racing, ranging from short pieces originally written for the leading fanciers? magazines to full-length articles and interviews. What unites us in principle is the common good of the sport, and with this in mind I do what I can for others ? it all oils the cogs of the sport. Some will see me as a know-all, yet I am a quiet little man making my mark, that's all. What is true is that I have made a life study of pigeons, and as a teacher I like to impart knowledge and experience? My aim is purely to tell it as it is to me, and if this is illuminating to others, then so be it.?
