This is the first visual history of Arunachal Pradesh, a state in northeast India bordering on Tibet/China, Burma and Bhutan. Based on archival and field research, it illustrates a century and a half of cultural change in this culturally diverse and little-known region of the Himalayas. More than 200 photographs, half archival and half contemporary, reveal that tribal cultures in this remote mountainous region have been continually reacting to external forces and initiating internal innovations. The Introduction places the archival photographs in their wider context, emphasising the complexity of the colonial encounter and uncovering personal stories behind many of the images. The sequence of photographs, juxtaposing the historical and the contemporary, shows us the uneven and sometimes confusing mixture of past and present that is emerging in Arunachal Pradesh.

How do people meet and fall in love? Noel Williamson shares his story of how he met his wife Angela. This wonderful tale is romantic, interesting, humorous at times, and poignant in others. Williamson’s love story captures the timeframe of how he met Angela, dated, faced a few challenges, and eventually became engaged. A story of courtship you won’t want to miss. Encouraging stories are motivating. In sports, we root for underdogs and want them to be victorious. In a romantic movie or book, we want the guy and girl to fall in love and live happily ever after. While snacking, we want all of our popcorn kernels popped. Sometimes we get what we want, sometimes not. Written with transparency and humility from his personal experience, Williamson describes different phases of love in Love is Like a Bag of Popcorn. Love is exciting, anticipatory, addicting, and fresh. Conversely, love can be messy, stubborn, and you could get burned. Love is Like a Bag of Popcorn; the results may be what you least expect.

The First World War is a subject that has fascinated the public as well as the academic community since the close of hostilities in 1918. Over the past thirty years in particular, the historiography associated with the conflict has expanded considerably to include studies whose emphases range between the economic, social, cultural, literary, and imperial aspects of the war, all coinciding with revisions to perceptions of its military context. Nevertheless, much of the discussion of the First World War remains confined to the experiences of a narrow collection of European armies on the battlefields of Northern France and Belgium. This volume seeks to push the focus away from the Western Front...

An account of Tibet and the Tibetan people that emphasises the political history of the 20th century. This book attempts to reach beyond the polemics by considering the various historical arguments, using archival material from several nations and drawing conclusions focused on available documents.
So, an interesting journey which, inevitably, is drawing to a close. The events that probably have most influenced my life have been the early death of my mother, my involvement in the Vietnam War, the births of my two children, and my divorce. Mum's death when I was eleven left a vacuum in the area of motherly love and marred my ability for many years to experience true love. Love is an inspiring quality but an unbearably painful one when it is taken from you. Vietnam? Its impact on me didn't begin to fully materialise until about twenty years later, and then I didn't recognise or didn't want to recognise what was going on. Guilt, regret, injustice, confusion, worthlessness, all descended o...
