Book Synopsis The Grand Life by : Patrick L Griffin OAM
Download or read book The Grand Life written by Patrick L Griffin OAM and published by Australian Self Publishing Group. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grand Life' is the funny and touching memoir of the life and times of Patrick Langley Griffin OAM, growing up in the post war years of a gloomy Britain in the 40's and 50's, then through his long career an hotelier in some 'Grand' hotels in England and Australia. Part 3: 1968 to 2011 Patrick L Griffin OAM, growing up in the post war years of a gloomy Britain in the 40s and 50s, through his fifty years as a hotelier in grand hotels across the UK, Europe and Australia. His memoir is filled with characters famous, infamous and hitherto unknown. From his first star encounter with Charlie Chaplin, the memoir is filled with tales of film stars, rock legends, celebrities, Heads of State and politicians, as well as the British Royal Family. No less enjoyable are the tales of ordinary folk, just as full of laughs, tears and crazy behaviour. The memoir is full of humour, candour and genuine empathy for the common humanity that binds us all. Born in Rugby, England in 1946, his early youth was spent in Swanage, Dorset, where the family had moved to escape the German bombing while their father served in the RAF. Although not academically inclined, his charm, wit and unfailing ability to make lemonade when he was given lemons ensure his childhood and public school years are filled with adventures and hilarious mishaps. His career started in 1963 as a trainee manager at Te Grand Hotel in Eastbourne, a very traditional Victorian-era five-star hotel, where he found his passion for hospitality. Half a century of social and political change comes to life, from post- war austerity and bureaucracy through the Swinging Sixties and the 'Summer of Love' in Amsterdam, to England's industrial upheaval and 'Winter of Discontent' of the Seventies. He moved to Australia as the century drew to a close for a new beginning, opening two hotels that would set a new benchmark in luxury hotel standards. His resilience and sense of humour helped him to survive and thrive.
Download or read book Guantanamo Voices written by Sarah Mirk and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of illustrated narratives about the prison and the lives it changed forever. In January 2002, the United States sent a group of Muslim men they suspected of terrorism to a prison in Guantánamo Bay. They were the first of roughly 780 prisoners who would be held there—and forty inmates still remain. Eighteen years later, very few of them have been ever charged with a crime. In Guantánamo Voices, journalist Sarah Mirk and her team of diverse, talented graphic novel artists tell the stories of ten people whose lives have been shaped and affected by the prison, including former prisoners, lawyers, social workers, and service members. This collection of illustrated interviews explores the history of Guantánamo and the world post-9/11, presenting this complicated partisan issue through a new lens. “These stories are shocking, essential, haunting, thought-provoking. This book should be required reading for all earthlings.” —The Iowa Review “This anthology disturbs and illuminates in equal measure.” —Publishers Weekly “Editor Mirk presents an extraordinary chronicle of the notorious prison, featuring first-person accounts by prisoners, guards, and other constituents that demonstrate the facility’s cruel reputation. . . . An eye-opening, damning indictment of one of America’s worst trespasses that continues to this day.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: What you won't find in The Review is a reliance of the four media favorites and we all know what they are. What you will find is an extensive library of topics most of which were written while SB was sitting on a ridge overlooking the Nile. She wanted them streamlined and sanitized and of course, such an approach begs the question; "Who would want to read them?" Anybody who is interested in a crisp, and clean and pristine trek through a land of LANGUAGE AND IDEAS. Anybody who is more intrigued by the life of the mind over our daily regimen of packaged distractions. Since their inception in 1980 for high school students, these topics have taken on a life of their own. They have expanded in quality, variety, tone, color and sheer volume. SOME ARE EVEN FUNNY. Our latest survey shows that The Sara Bellum Review covers a lot of territory and it instantly adjustable. The SBR can move with ease from the mainstream milieu to a syllabus for home schooling or read as a verbal snack while doing your laundry. The material is clean and we are certain that it will fit into your personal wordrobe.

Book Synopsis Hunting and the Ivory Tower by : Douglas Higbee
Download or read book Hunting and the Ivory Tower written by Douglas Higbee and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen hunter-scholars explore the hunting experience and question common negative stereotypes Despite the academy having a reputation for supporting broad and open inquiry in scholarship, some academics have not extended this open-minded support to colleagues' personal pursuits. A variety of scholars enjoy hunting, which has been stereotyped by some as an activity of the unsophisticated. In Hunting and the Ivory Tower, Douglas Higbee and David Bruzina present essays by seventeen hunter-scholars who explore the hunting experience and question negative assumptions about hunting made by intellectuals and academics who do not hunt. Higbee and Bruzina suspect most academics' understanding of hunting is based on brief television news reports of hunter-politicians and commercials for reality TV shows such as Duck Dynasty. The editors contend that few scholars appreciate the complexities of hunting or give much thought to its ethical, ecological, and cultural ramifications. Through this anthology they hope to start a conversation about both hunting and academia and how they relate. The contributors to this anthology are academics from a variety of disciplines, each with firsthand hunting experience. Their essays vary in style and tone from the scholarly to the personal and represent the different ways in which scholars engage with their avocation. The essays are grouped into three sections: the first focuses on the often-fraught relation between hunters and academic culture; the second section offers personal accounts of hunting by academics; and the third portrays hunting from an explicitly academic point of view, whether in terms of value theory, metaphysics, or history. Combined, these essays render hunting as a culturally rich, deeply personal, and intellectually satisfying experience worthy of further discussion. A foreword is provided by Robert DeMott, the Edwin and Ruth Kennedy Distinguished Professor at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. He is a teacher, writer, critic, and internationally respected expert on novelist John Steinbeck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Groucho Marx was well into his eighties, Charlotte Chandler approached him about writing a profile of him for a magazine. Groucho invited Charlotte to meet and that meeting grew into a friendship that lasted until Groucho's death in August 1977. Groucho was surrounded by a group of friends - some old timers like George Burns and Jack Benny - some younger comedians, like Woody Allen, who revered Groucho. Charlotte was present for most of these meetings and these conversations form the basis of HELLO, I MUST BE GOING. Some are hilarious, some are poignant, all of them are fascinating. If you ever wondered what it was like to spend some time with Groucho Marx, one of the wittiest men ever, this is your book.
Book Synopsis Wind in the Pylons, Vol 1 by : Gareth Lovett Jones
Download or read book Wind in the Pylons, Vol 1 written by Gareth Lovett Jones and published by Hilltop Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mole (from Kenneth Grahame's The Wind In The Willows) finds a tunnel behind the big old cupboard in his kitchen and goes exploring, little does he know the adventures in store. For the passage-way turns out to be a time tunnel that eventually brings him out in the mid 1990's - a strange world in which his beloved valley has been devastated by hulking shed-like shopping zones and most of the animals seem to be trapped inside flotillas of bizarrely-shaped contraptions moving at nightmare speeds along a network of titanic roads. He meets descendants or look-alikes of his old chums, all involved in business, politics and such like. But the time tunnel has unaccountably invested in him a magical skill: whomever he is near is unable to resist telling him the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. After a chance meeting with Mr Gordon R Rette - a water-rat, of course - Head of Degirthing (ie Redundancies) at petrochemicals giant, Toad Transoceanic, the Mole comes to the notice of company boss, Mr Humfrey Wyvern-Toad. Discerning the Mole's unusual truth-saying effect on those near him, the Toad sees at once that this is a skill he can turn to his advantage. life: farming, the environment, politics, big business, information technology, modern art - all are unmercifully unmasked before the Mole's innocent and incredulous eyes. A biting satire on modern Britain, by turns scathing and heart-rending, The Wind In The Pylons captures its essence, seen through the eyes of an innocent abroad. The author, with sharp eye and cutting wit, holds a mirror up to the way we live today: compared with Kenneth Grahame's bucolic view of life at the turn of the last century, it is not a pretty sight. Part Orwellian satire showcasing the inhuman values of today's New Right, part rumbustious comic novel, part moving elegy for a lost world of childhood innocence and a vanished rural England, The Wind In The Pylons is a cult classic in the making, a wonderful pastiche of an old masterpiece, and arguably the first definitive environmental and counter-corporate satire.
