Book Synopsis Fisherman's Friends by : Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends
Download or read book Fisherman's Friends written by Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past two decades ten men from Cornwall's Port Isaac have met on the village quayside every Friday summer evening to sing rousing sea shanties and traditional folk songs for little more than free beer. Then, in March 2010, everything changed when stardom came to this bunch of friends who had sought neither fame nor fortune. Within weeks of a record producer hearing their passionate, harmonic singing, they had a million-pound deal and were booked to appear at Glastonbury. By the end of that month a world tour was underway and Ealing Films had bought the rights to their story. Their first commercially produced album went gold almost immediately and they have now played live to hundreds of thousands of people, raising the roof everywhere with ballads such as 'The Cadgwith Anthem' and 'South Australia'. The book will tell the full story of how the boat came in for this group of burly middle-aged men, each of whom are or have been fishermen, lifeboatmen and coastguards (as well as builders, artisans, hoteliers and shop keepers) in their beloved Port Isaac. Each member of the group has his own story, and individual family histories tell of Cornwall's rugged, harsh landscape and the ever-present danger and bounty of the sea. The Fisherman's Friends have found a huge and ready audience and have rekindled interest in traditional music, striking a chord in the hearts of men and women, young and old, across the English-speaking world. With a new album due out in summer 2011, this is an affectionate and timely autobiography.
Book Synopsis The Dog's Last Walk by : Howard Jacobson
Download or read book The Dog's Last Walk written by Howard Jacobson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: _______________ '[An] acutely observed collection of occasional pieces that pick at absurdist life and reveal him to be a quiz, a cultural critic gifted with precise comic timing' - The Times 'The author's prose is always a delight ... a book that manages the high-wire act of being genuinely funny while dispensing genuine wisdom' - Times Literary Supplement 'Jacobson is one of the great sentence-builders of our time. I feel I have to raise my game, even just to praise ... In short, he is one of the great guardians of language and culture - all of it. Long may he flourish' - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian _______________ Week after week, for eighteen years, the Booker Prize-winning novelist Howard Jacobson wrote a weekly column for the Independent, reflecting in inimitable style on the sacred and the profane in turn, the frivolous and the serious, the deeply personal and the most universal. The shame and humiliation inherent in death is explored with frank astuteness. Matisse, darts and the power of love are celebrated; while cyclists are very much censured. And meanwhile, a beloved old Labrador walks his last walk as life elsewhere hurtles on and away... The Dog's Last Walk is a collection of wisdom and iconoclasm for our uncertain times, and one that reveals one of our greatest writers in all his humanity. _______________ 'Sharp and playful, surreal and thoughtful, and occasionally ... rather moving' - New Statesman 'Yes, Jacobson is an entertainer ... And he does indeed entertain, but in a way that stimulates rather than simply amuses' - Sunday Telegraph 'His columns were always one of the best things in [the Independent] – funny, argumentative, contrary and stuffed with ideas as well as a big, sympathetic personality' - Philip Hensher, Spectator

Book Synopsis Naw First Minister! by : Allan Morrison

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With no party having a majority it was decided the position of First Minister should go to neutral, AGSTLO (Ah m Gonnae Sort This Lot Oot party) MSP, Big Nellie Nellis, a controversial imposing lady with the relics of beauty still on her face, unapologetically long legs which look as though they could stretch into different time zones, and bosoms requiring their own postal codes. Her over-bearing appearance and vibrancy, assisted by a continually refilled hip flask of single malt, make her formidable to all and sundry. Forget Mrs Thatcher, Mrs Merkel, Mrs Gillard, Mrs Meir and Ms Sturgeon. These women were absolute softies compared to Big Nellie. When Big Nellie Nellis bounds into Scottish politics after a fish supper and a cockup too far, her brash reason wins an electorate weary of the pointless jabbering of a divided Parliament. However, shaking up the status quo of Holyrood sets some slippery MSPs delving into Nellie s past to uncover the truth about Scotland s least likely political leader.

Book Synopsis The Conspiracy Tourist by : Dom Joly
Download or read book The Conspiracy Tourist written by Dom Joly and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dom Joly sets off on his travels again, immersing himself in the strange world of conspiracies. On his journeys he meets conspiracy theorists galore in destinations all over the world, some famous, some rather less so. Conspiracy theories used to be fun, a bit of laugh. Did we really land on the moon? Was Paul McCartney cloned? Nowadays, however, in the aftermath of Donald Trump, a global pandemic and the ever-increasing influence of social media algorithms, they are part of the body politic and a massive cause of division and mistrust. In The Conspiracy Tourist Dom Joly sets out on a global journey to find out what's going on. His travels see him meeting followers of QAnon, hunting for UFOs in Roswell, chasing Alex Jones of Info Wars around Austin, trying to prove that Finland exists and taking a flat-earther to the edge of the world. On the way Dom inevitably finds the funny and the quirky, but he also tries to understand what makes people so drawn to conspiracy theories. What if those he has long dismissed as crazed loonies actually have a point? What if we are the sheeple and they've been right all along? Join a wide-eyed, slightly jaded, adventurous tourist on a very different kind of sight-seeing trip.

Download or read book Writing about music written by Neil Pace and published by Neil Pace. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've been listening to music ever since I was small. A few years ago I started to write about it. I started to blog and to tweet and to generally annoy anyone who would care to read my secular evangelical rantings about Jonathan Richman, and my inexplicable love of kitschy popular music, disco, hip-hop and doo-wop. Very soon I was writing for the North East’s premier music magazine NE:MM, which became the North East’s premier music website. Most of my NE:MM album and gig reviews are included in ‘Writing about music’ – I’ve corrected most of the spellings, but I’ve left in all of the grammatical errors (I prefer to think of them as ‘quirks’). Many of my interviews are here too, Roger McGuinn, Nils Lofgren, Matthew Healy, Ben Watt, Fish, Kathryn Williams, Duke Special, Penetration, Thomas Truax, Steve Hackett and Nick Heyward, who told me he thought Haircut 100 were going to become Britain’s Talking Heads. There’s other stuff too. Quite a few lists (let’s face it, making lists is what middle-aged men do best) including my favourite 50 debut albums, which proved hugely controversial with three people on Twitter. And (by the way, I regularly start sentences with ‘and’. If you’re easily offended, please look away) there are some excerpts from another book that’s in the pipeline. Quite a long way down the pipeline if I can be brutally honest.
Book Synopsis The Fisherman's Tomb by : John O'Neill
Download or read book The Fisherman's Tomb written by John O'Neill and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Texas oilman. A brilliant female archaeologist. An unknown world underneath the Vatican. In 1939, a team of workers beneath the Vatican unearthed an early Christian grave. This surprising discovery launched a secret quest that would last decades — a quest to discover the long-lost burial place of the Apostle Peter. From earliest times, Christian tradition held that Peter — a lowly fisherman from Galilee, whom Christ made leader of his Church — was executed in Rome by Emperor Nero and buried on Vatican Hill. But his tomb had been lost to history. Now, funded anonymously by a wealthy American, a small army of workers embarked on the dig of a lifetime. The incredible, sometimes shocking, story of the 75-year search and its key players has never been fully told — until now. The quest would pit one of the 20th century’s most talented archaeologists — a woman — against top Vatican insiders. The Fisherman’s Tomb is a story of the triumph of faith and genius against all odds. ABOUT THE AUTHOR John O’Neill is a lawyer and #1 New York Times bestselling author. He has spent much of his life visiting and researching early Christian sites. He is a 1967 graduate of the Naval Academy, a former law clerk to Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, and senior partner at a large international law firm.

Download or read book Sitting Lady Sutra written by Kay Stewart and published by TouchWood Editions. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RCMP Constable Danutia Dranchuk is investigating a mysterious death at Sitting Lady Falls. The evidence she gathers points to three separate stories, leaving her with more questions than answers. Is this murder connected to two earlier killings of Aboriginal women? Are all three the work of the same killer? Some of the details are hitting a little too close to home, and Danutia is forced to examine her friendship with forensics head Corporal Surinder Sharma and his family. Deftly woven into Danutia’s investigation are the stories of two other characters. Parolee Ritchie Taylor fears that the unidentified body from the waterfall is his estranged daughter’s, who was supposed to meet him after his release from prison, but never showed. Awkward busboy Trav can’t seem to help behaving suspiciously. Author Kay Stewart pulls the threads together in an unexpected and dramatic resolution at Sitting Lady Falls.

Book excerpt: Fisherman's Apprentice tells the inspiring true story of how God trained one stubborn fisherman to think and act more like a fisher of men.

The story is told with unflinching transparency that dares you to free the skeletons from your closet. The God-given lessons and tools in Fisherman's Apprentice are sure to inspire and prepare you so you'll be ready when the storms of life come. REVIEW: I read this book over a couple of days and was so incredibly blessed! I was inspired, entertained and convicted at times. Dan's story has inspired me to believe God for big things as a child of God and as a business woman. Dan writes from a very transparent place with such an honesty towards his struggles. However, throughout his story he continues to turn back to Jesus Christ. I have already started telling others to read this book and just bought a copy for my brother. Much love and appreciation to Dan. We can believe God for BIG things and He is faithful! ALAN COLVIN
Book Synopsis European Drug Index by : Niels F. Muller
Download or read book European Drug Index written by Niels F. Muller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many health care providers are frequently dealing with problems related to the identification and interpretation of medicines and prescriptions of foreign origin. Health authorities, customs and travel agencies also encounter such problems, which are related to the increasing mobility of the European population. Thus the need for a European Drug Index is obvious. The EDI provides extended information for practitioners confronted with the enormous number of drug names available on the European pharmaceutical market. This market is increasing due to the rapidly changing palette of countries and economic restrictions in Europe. The listings have been derived from drug data sources from the increased number of participating countries in this second edition. Each item starts with a trade name, in alphabetical order, followed by (depending on the original source) dosage forms, strength, volume (if applicable), and generic name(s) of the active principle(s) in a random sequence. The item is concluded by the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification (when made available by the original source) and a code for the country of origin.
