These are Fred Hewison's random memories of his boyhood years while growing up in the Sydney suburb of Hurstville. Born in 1933 in the same house that he subsequently occupied for the next fifty five years, he has produced an amusing and sometimes nostalgic selection of reminiscences of those things that he and his best mates did when they were boys Any person of similar vintage would remember the marbles, street cricket, and bonfire nights, but only the select few might recall the exciting times and the mischievous behaviour that sometimes occurred in the old Civic Picture Theatre when the lights were out during Saturday matinees. This book contains much more, including a few additional historical facts surrounding the district in which the author grew up. Those who were not a product of the locations described in this book but were of a similar generation should still relate to the memories of the author's childhood. There was no television or computer-only the radio and its serials to thrill you, but that didn't matter, since a kid had little time to spare after school, with all the footie and cricket in the paddocks and then there was the homework to attend to before bedtime. Not everything was pleasant, since insubordination was generally rewarded with some form of punishment-whether it was the cane at school or the stick at the hands of your parents. In most cases, however, it was both expected and deserved, and it served to enhance a lad's respect for the deliverer. Whether it provides amusement, a walk down memory lane, or a revelation for the younger generation, this book might be worth reading.
A collection of random observations, events, situations, news items, people, stories and the bric à brac of daily life that you may find either funny (ha-ha), funny (peculiar), thought-provoking, beyond belief or just plain silly, which illustrate what a mad, mad, mad, mad world we live in.
This book is a small portion of the continuous flow of ideas that cross my mind continually. This flow is based on life experiences good and bad of myself and others. It is intended hopefully to ignite blazine firestorms of thought, of perspective.
The Things That Cross My Mind is a collection of poetic thoughts and expressions intended to build people from the inside out by exploring four facets of relationship: About God and me; about relationship; about being single; and about life. Its poetry and psalms are designed to inspire, enrich, and help others approach life with confidence and assurance that they are important to God and significant to this world. Your gifts are needed; He gave them to you for a purpose. The Things That Cross My Mind will help you override societal notions of who you should be and assist you in accepting yourself in spite of what others think. It will also help you to love God and self, and know that you are worthy to be loved. Moreover, the entries inform single persons that they have so much to offer and that they do not have to sell themselves to get what they are gifted to accomplish. Giving clear insight into how much God loves you, the poetic expressions break down stereotypes and other barriers that hinder self-worth. The Things That Cross My Mind will allow you to be strengthened, directed, enriched, encouraged, healed while simultaneously allowing you to laugh and stand.
My writings began as a diary or journal. My young adulthood was very rocky, including an unhappy marriage, depression and employment that I did not enjoy. I would write to relieve stress. I would write about things that were important to me, my existence and the creation surrounding me. I am a visual artist. my thoughts are expressed though colors, shapes and emotional attachments.
Death Never Crossed My Mind by Anne Allen Accepting God in your life can truly change you as a person.In her deteriorating health due to a brain tumor, the author tells a piece of her life, how God healed and cared for her during her times of great need. She tells how the Word of God became her source of strength and comfort whenever she feels frail, and how she falls back and finds herself again in the comforting love of God. The book discusses different aspects of the author's life and what she thinks about the past as she looks at it now. She shares lessons learned from many years of struggle, pain, doubt, hatred, and jealousy, but also shows enough of the happiness that God and her loved ones have imparted in her life. Death Never Crossed My Mind, by Anne Allen, is a selfless pouring and sharing of wisdom gleaned from a fruitful life's journey. Anne Allen was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She is now retired and resides in Euclid with her husband of thirty-five years, and dedicates her time to serving the Lord and helping other people.
A Penguin Classic Joe Keller and Steve Deever, partners in a machine shop during World War II, turned out defective airplane parts, causing the deaths of many men. Deever was sent to prison while Keller escaped punishment and went back to business, making himself very wealthy in the ensuing years. In Miller’s work of tremendous power, a love affair between Keller's son, Chris, and Ann Deever, Steve’s daughter, the bitterness of George Keller, who returns from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, and the reaction of a son to his father's guilt escalate toward a climax of electrifying intensity. Winner of the Drama Critics' Award for Best New Play in 1947, All My Sons established Arthur Miller as a leading voice in the American theater. All My Sons introduced themes that thread through Miller's work as a whole: the relationships between fathers and sons and the conflict between business and personal ethics. This edition features an introduction by Christopher Bigsby. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

From the moment his first novel was published, Larry Heinemann joined the ranks of the great chroniclers of the Vietnam conflict--Philip Caputo, Tim O’Brien, and Gustav Hasford. In the stripped-down, unsullied patois of an ordinary soldier, draftee Philip Dosier tells the story of his war. Straight from high school, too young to vote or buy himself a drink, he enters a world of mud and heat, blood and body counts, ambushes and firefights. It is here that he embarks on the brutal downward path to wisdom that awaits every soldier. In the tradition of Naked and the Dead and The Thin Red Line, Close Quarters is the harrowing story of how a decent kid from Chicago endures an extraordinary trial-- and returns profoundly altered to a world on the threshold of change.

Science journalist John Horgan presents a radical new perspective on the mind-body problem and related issues such as consciousness, free will, morality and the meaning of life. Horgan argues that science will never discover an objectively true solution to the mind-body problem because such a solution does not exist. Horgan explores his thesis by delving into the professional and personal lives of nine mind-body experts, including neuroscientist Christof Koch, cognitive scientist Douglas Hofstadter, child psychologist Alison Gopnik, complexologist Stuart Kauffman, legal scholar and psychoanalyst Elyn Saks, philosopher Owen Flanagan, novelist Rebecca Goldstein, evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers, and economist Deirdre McCloskey.
