Rabbit to Rocketman
Paul Free's autobiography provides some fascinating insights and anecdotes from an eventful life dedicated to science and engineering. Born in 1923, no bigger than a nine-penny rabbit, his happy childhood was shattered when he was only six years old by the sudden death of his father. Paul spent most of the next ten years at the Royal Orphanage in Wolverhampton, initially desperately unhappy and lonely, but nevertheless, benefitting from the school's combination of rigid discipline and excellent science facilities.

Beyond Bruce Lee
In order to understand Bruce Lee, we must look beyond Bruce Lee to the artist's intricate cultural and historical contexts. This work begins by contextualising Lee, examining his films and martial arts work, and his changing cultural status within different times and places. The text examines Bruce Lee's films and philosophy in relation to the popular culture and cultural politics of the 1960s and 1970s, and it addresses the resurgence of his popularity in Hong Kong and China in the twenty-first century. The study also explores Lee's ongoing legacy and influence in the West, considering his function as a shifting symbol of ethnic politics and the ways in which he continues to inform Hollywood film-fight choreography. Beyond Bruce Lee ultimately argues Lee is best understood in terms of "cultural translation" and that his interventions and importance are ongoing.

For this reason, people in need such as the aged, sick, and widowed, had to rely on their family or the Church, for assistance. Also, at this time, many basic components needed for manufacturing (e.g. nuts and bolts), were not standardized and most grocery items (e.g. butter, biscuits and tea), were not pre-packaged. Few private homes had telephones connected and so,...
