No Fear
This is an account of Steve Devereux's life after the SAS, where he served with great distinction. It tells of a life embroiled in the vicious guerilla warfare of Mozambique, training soldiers and living in thenbsp;atrocious conditions of warring Africa. After Africa, Steve headed back to the U.K. where he forged a living for himself as a bodyguard,nbsp;protecting—amongst others—Patsy Kensit and Liam Gallagher during their honeymoon. But before long he was itching for the wild life and left for war-torn Somaliland, where he began the dangerous and sensitive task of mine clearance in a country ravaged by civil war.

Being British
A smashing guide to the customs, history, and idiosyncrasies of Great Britain—from geography and landmarks to education, food, language, and royalty. Being British is the perfect book for everyone who lives (or wishes they lived) in our wonderful country. Here the British will discover what they already suspected, and that is that many of the GREAT historical figures of all time were British, many of the GREATEST inventions were British, as well as many other patriotic facts. They will also be reminded of all great and unique customs and traditions inherent in our beautiful land, and probably learn of some they never knew existed too, as well as laughing at the things that only The British could do! Being British is also an excellent companion for all tourists and new inhabitants who are struggling to come to terms with and understand the way in which we British live and conduct ourselves and our lives. “As it gives a ‘once-over lightly’ introduction to ‘British’ culture, this volume will probably have wide appeal. Tourists and potential immigrants are likely to peruse it with great and earnest interest.” —NZ Crown Mines
Saint of Circumstance
The bestselling author of "Raging Heart" reveals the untold story behind the Alex Kelly rape case. When the handsome golden boy fled the U.S. in 1987 rather than face two impending rape trials, his wealthy parents funded his lifestyle of luxury in Europe. This book takes readers into the troubled soul of a privileged--and secretive--community, exposing its facade to reveal a fascinating dark side.
Seasonality, Rural Livelihoods and Development
Seasonality is a severe constraint to sustainable rural livelihoods and a driver of poverty and hunger, particularly in the tropics. Many poor people in developing countries are ill equipped to cope with seasonal variations which can lead to drought or flood and consequences for agriculture, employment, food supply and the spread of disease. The subject has assumed increasing importance as climate change and other forms of development disrupt established seasonal patterns and variations. This book is the first systematic study of seasonality for over twenty years, and it aims to revive academic interest and policy awareness of this crucial but neglected issue. Thematic chapters explore recen...
The Working-Class Intellectual in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Britain
In Britain, the period that stretches from the middle of the eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century marks the emergence of the working classes, alongside and in response to the development of the middle-class public sphere. This collection contributes to that scholarship by exploring the figure of the "working-class intellectual," who both assimilates the anti-authoritarian lexicon of the middle classes to create a new political and cultural identity, and revolutionizes it with the subversive energy of class hostility. Through considering a broad range of writings across key moments of working-class self-expression, the essays reevaluate a host of familiar writers such as Robert Burns, John Thelwall, Charles Dickens, Charles Kingsley, Ann Yearsley, and even Shakespeare, in terms of their role within a working-class constituency. The collection also breaks fresh ground in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century scholarship by shedding light on a number of unfamiliar and underrepresented figures, such as Alexander Somerville, Michael Faraday, and the singer Ned Corvan.
