Spending leave together on the South Coast during the Battle of Britain and the beginning of the blitz, Clive and Prudence have an affair. Having survived Dunkirk, but having a crisis of conscience over what the war is being fought for and disgusted at the incompetence of the ruling elite, Clive decides not to return to the Army and to go absent without leave. Deserving comparison to Hemingway''s "A Farewell to Arms", This Above All was heralded as the first great novel of the Second World War... and it is about the war, but first and last it is a great love story, a great adventure in thinking things through. This soldier, discharged on leave after hospitalization, meets a girl in uniform of the W.A.A.F’s - and they break through the barriers of tradition and class and come to understand what both of them really stand for.

This is the story of Sam Small, a man from Yorkshire who wakes up one morning and decides that he can fly on his own two hands. So he does. This is for all those who know that dogs talk, Sundays can be repeated seven days in a row so that Monday never comes, and other dreamy escapism. You''ll have to read to believe how he learned to fly like a bird, by faith; how he changed a dog into a girl and back again; how he coped with the two selves of his split personality; and how he was called upon to explain the tricky foreign phrase, droit de seigneur, which said in effect that the duke of the neighboring parish was required by law to go to bed with Ian Cawper''s Mary Ann the night of their wedding. Here are fun humourous fantasies and shaggy dog stories by the author who would create "Lassie."

Foraging Texas is a field guide and reference for people who want to learn about wild edible plants across the state of Texas. It covers edible plants native or naturalized in the lone star state and describes wild‐harvesting basics, ethics, identification, distribution, harvesting methods, recipes, and historical uses. The guide is easy for beginners to use. It''s primarily organized by plant type (i.e., tree, shrub, herb) and secondarily by plant family (i.e., sunflower family, carrot family, etc.) and has detailed photos to aid in identification. The guide is also a useful reference for more experienced foragers. Although this guide focuses on the edible plants of Texas, because the state of Texas covers such a wide variety of ecoregions and habitats, Foraging Texas is also useful in neighboring states like Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and beyond.

Network Marketing is a great industry, but it is also one of the most misunderstood industries. That is why it is important for anyone in this industry to have someone who has been there before to guide them. Unfortunately many people don''t know anyone who can answer the questions that need to be answered. You might not even know the questions that need to be asked. If you are someone who is involved in the NM industry, this guide is for you. If you aren''t a part of the industry and you just want to know whether or not the industry is for you, then this guide will answer many if not all of your questions about what you could be getting into... a much cheaper option than starting a business and failing miserably.

Have Your Cake And Look Good Too is an easy reading guide that shows how the author used the power of a healthy meal replacement to not only get into shape, but stay in shape without completely cutting out the foods that we really want to eat. The core message is why should people who simply want to be healthier and look better have to eat like people whose lively hood depends on the way their bodies look? We all know that if we want change, then we have to make some changes. But many trainers and programs push drastic changes down our throats that are not sustainable by the majority of people. If I am not a body builder or fitness model, why do I have to eat like one? If you don''t have at least a little discipline, this isn''t the program for you. It is for people who have discipline but can''t find a program that rewards that discipline. This book shows you how to maximize a good meal replacement so that you can lose weight or get healthier without throwing the foods you love out of the window. You have tried everything else, so what do you have to lose?

The fragments of the Key begin to surface... After saving the woman he loves from the dark sorcerers of Ankhara, Fen realizes for the first time that his power can be a force for good.

His only hope is to summon one of the ancient Shapers and convince it to teach him what he needs to know. Aislin has kept the secret of the strange artifact she found in the alien underground vault. But her secret is not as safe as it seems. The agents of the Devourers know what she has found and they will threaten everyone she loves if she doesn''t give it to them. The Guardian Kasai has created new, more powerful warriors to threaten Karliss and his clan. As powerful as Karliss is, he knows he will inevitably lose to Kasai. Seeing no other options, he conceives a desperate plan to retrieve the lost words of power, but their origins are shrouded in legend and to track them down he and his companions will have to complete a dangerous quest.

Three children with the powers of Stone, Sea and Sky... Are all that stands between the world and the chaotic power of the Abyss. Fen is only a boy when his city is sacked by enemy invaders. His mother is cut down before his eyes. Yet somehow when the blade is turned on him, he survives without a scratch. But the attack seems to have awakened something inside him, something that killed his father years ago. Aislin came from the sea, her origins a mystery. Within her is an innate power over water, as natural as breathing. But she lives in a world of her own, emotionally isolated from everyone else, including the woman who is raising her. Bullied by the other children, one day she turns her power on them. Karliss was touched by the wind at birth, destined to be the greatest wind shaman his people have ever seen. But he is careless with his power and he ignores the warnings about the madness that afflicts those who don''t protect themselves against the spirits in the wind. When the powerful, inhuman denizens of the Abyss reach out to take the world, only these three have a chance of stopping them, but only if they can learn to master their powers in time...

The ideas I have written about here come mostly from a book called A Course in Miracles, published by the Foundation For Inner Peace, in 1976. It is a book I strongly recommend you read.However, it is my experience that A Course in Miracles is a fairly difficult book for most people to get through. It is vast and dense. Each paragraph is packed with enough information for hours of contemplation and meditation. It can be thought of as a graduate-level textbook and it takes some real work to make sense of it.A Few Simple Words is an introduction to some of the Course''s basic tenets. It is my hope that you will be drawn to what I write of and then read A Course in Miracles yourself.

How to solve the world''s trickiest problems? In Reframe, Eric Knight explains how a change of focus can reveal a solution that was lying just outside your frame of vision. From terrorism to global warming, from border security to high finance, he brings a new perspective that is both exhilarating and useful. Why can''t we eliminate terrorism by killing terrorists? Why can''t we learn anything about climate change by talking about the weather? Why can''t we resolve immigration tensions by building higher fences? And what do fishermen in Turkey have to teach us about international relations? This is an optimistic, lucid and original book by a brilliant young thinker.

Eric Knight, the internationally known film reviewer of the 1930s and author of Lassie-Come-Home tells his story in his own words, with the help of Geoff Gehman.

A hard-boiled fiction novel by Richard Hallas.
