Curse of Thieves: Another challenging case for Major Vince Hamilton,

Million dollar motor yachts, high-performance cars, masterpiece paintings and high-value jewellery are being stolen, in a highly professional way, all over Europe. Local police haven’t been able to catch the thieves as the goods are being moved across international borders. As a last resort, the desperate owners turn to Private Investigator Major Vince Hamilton. Can he find out what is going on and who is responsible? His brief; to stop more valuable items going missing and recover the stolen goods. With the assistance of his old pal Chief Inspector Baird of the London police, he establishes that a single syndicate is behind the thefts. Items are being stolen to order for clients in the Arab world, where money is plentiful. The gang members all speak Italian; so could the Mafia be involved? He is up against a sophisticated network that has been created using bribery, corruption and extermination. The gang’s influence extends from England right across Europe to Turkey. Vince seeks help from his Dutch friend, Willem van Grimbergen, and brings into the investigation. Will he be a help or a hindrance? A task force, made up of men from the three services Army, Navy and RAF, is assembled to help the Major tackle the problem. This force must eliminate the syndicate’s headquarters in Marmaris, Turkey. Will these well-trained men be up to the task of wiping out the syndicate and destroying their headquarters? At the end of the operation Major Vince Hamilton is still left with a significant question, does he truly know who was behind the crime and could the network be re-created?’ Another Major Vince Hamilton all action investigation, involving murder and mayhem.

Gypsy Traveller Students in Secondary Schools

This book presents the findings from the first British national longitudinal study of Gypsy Traveller students in secondary schools. This unique phenomenological study, sponsored by the Nuffield Foundation, documents the educational experience of 44 Gypsy Travellers in secondary schools since 2000.

"These excellent books remind us, however, that it is sometimes necessary to devote focused energy in one direction - here in the direction of children from Traveller communities - precisely so that ghettoisation and stigmatisation isn't perpetuated. Times Educational Supplement"

And how would you cope? Enter the world of the Historymakers. A world where not even the past is certain. A world where the Nazis won the Second World War and where the Titanic never actually sank. But it could all change in the blink of an eye. When Charlie Cornwall is forced to move house, he moves to The Oaks, a house on the edge of a graveyard, and a house with a mysterious history. . . a house that will take him places he really doesn't want to go.

The Boy Who Made Tracks

There are two major elements in the blood of George Williams: trains and the town of Junee where he was born. Inspired by his father’s infectious love of trains, George joined the NSW Government Railways at the age of fourteen, only to find himself scrubbing the toilet compartments. And from there he worked for the next forty-nine years, having dust and dirt blown in his face, feeling the shudder of the carriage, the thump, thump of the 38 class engine, rattling along between stations, the wind whipping up a musical tune, chugging from one destination to another while always looking forward to the most important destination of all, his home in Junee. For George, Junee is real country Australia, a place which was all dirt roads and sulkies, and where he grew up. He was an adventurous tyke always looking for trouble, climbing (and falling from) telegraph poles, stringing rope between trees to sweep off the hat of the local squatter as he trotted by on his thoroughbred, and searching for ghosts in the said-to-be-haunted Monte Christo House. And one day while he was stepping on to a train he bumped into a woman stepping off. His beloved trains had brought him face to face with someone who was to be the joy of his life.

Bloody Affair

“Killing is not dumping, when it’s necessary.” Bellinda. The hot, sexy, tall, slender ”yellow-bone” wearing the most limpid dress, having dinner, drinking the most expensive sparkling wine, believed it. The dumping and killing that had taken so much planning would benefit more people, than it would hurt. These words were uttered by the devil after killing the “player” in Zulu we say “isoka lamanyala” talk about a heartless, devious, scheming soul. If your paths happened to cross, she’ll make sure you’re left with a gigantic tattoo, no doctor will be able to erase. They don’t call her the “devil” for nothing. This is not her first job. Even her siblings don’t disturb her when she’s on-duty. They call her the “detective” who exorcize evil spirits. Show her benjamins (money) and a smile. She’ll be all over you like a heap of bricks.

Beating the 24/7: How Business Leaders Achieve a Successful Work/Life

Today's managers and executives are cash rich but time poor. They are increasingly pressured to succeed in their careers but there is growing awareness of the cost this has on their personal lives.

Strange and Unexpected: Backpack on the Road - Volume One:

“Funny… and many of you know this… given a bit of slack, I’ll wander all over the place when telling a story.” After sharing essays and interviews in Time Just Drifts Away, Bob is back. This time, his unique observation skills and storytelling abilities are on the road, as the Backpack travels in a three volume set to Florida, California and Las Vegas. These days, thanks to the inter-web-thingy, there is plenty of guidance out there if you want it. And yet there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of it as well… because the material available is infinite and much more easily accessed than ever before. Laugh if you wish… the main approach you should take to any of that information is pretty much the same approach as Bob -- always consider the source. There are restaurants some of you love that those taking these trips didn’t know existed back then… still don’t even know exist today… and might not care for even if they could find them. Apply that idea to rides, hotels, shopping and every other part of a vacation and travel. With the Strange and Unexpected series, Bob hits the road with some of his favorite people and travel companions -- especially his wife, Terry. You are invited to join their group… become a part of their travelling gang… share their adventures and experiences… and, hopefully, recognize the different people as they appear in each travel journal and on different trips. Here in Volume One the destination is Florida, where Bob and Terry join up with family and friends on adventures from the Florida Keys to Orlando… dolphin swims to theme parks… Everglade airboats to Key West sunsets. Essays and diaries allow the reader to take part in each trip, while “Best of…” segments and special offerings feature the must-do attractions and other recommendations. Bob has also collected feedback from a total of eighteen different people that focus on their tips, favorite experiences and locations, and thoughts gained from travels that literally have gone around-the-world. Jay Gillen has provided artwork and design features for In My Backpack, and Bob is proud to include some of his work on the cover of this edition. The Strange and Unexpected trilogy contains some material previously published on his noted web site, In My Backpack. (www.inmybackpack.com)

Bob graduated from Syracuse University with a bachelor’s degree in English. While at school, he began working on the campus ambulance service and also spent several years working in the operating room of a hospital, which developed a basic medical background for him. Naturally, with an English degree and medical experience, the majority of his professional career has been spent in other fields. In March of 2003, Bob brought his writing efforts to the web with his own site, In My Backpack. (www.inmybackpack.com) Over the years, the site has included general interest, sports and travel material, specialized writing such as movie reviews, and also has captured the flavors-of-the-day in an on-going journal entry segment. Bob considers himself “a writer with a camera,” though the concept hasn’t prevented him from creating a sizeable portfolio of professional work. On his web site, photo galleries exist for several entertainers, as well as a feature on the touring exhibit of Diana: A Celebration. His photographs have been used by groups such as Legends in Concert. In 2012, Bob released Time Just Drifts Away, a collection of essays and interviews collected from his web site. Born and raised in Rhode Island, Bob currently lives in Connecticut with his wife, Terry, and their two St. Bernards, Molly and Gus.

www.rasslinriotonline.com presents Yearbook 2010

Facts, figures, review, awards and hall of fame of Memphis Wrestling area. The book is the year in review from www.rasslinriotonline.com including photos.

Brian Tramel is the owner and operator of www.RasslinRiotOnline.com. Tramel has been around the wrestling business for the better part of 30 years. He began as a wrestling fan, and then became a journalist, wrestler, manager and promoter. During his stint as a manager, Tramel was known as “Coach BT,” carrying a clipboard as a weapon. The gimmick was a spinoff of John Tolos’ “Coach” gimmick from the early 1990’s in the World Wrestling Federation. Tramel owned and operated a small promotion called Chaotic Championship Wrestling, which held live events throughout the Mid-South during the early part of the new millennium. After selling the promotion, Tramel returned to managing. He ended his active managing career and, in 2006, developed the RasslinRiot website, bringing his involvement in wrestling full circle as his first days physically in wrestling were as a “dirt sheet” writer. The website has grown in popularity, leading to Tramel and Brian Thompson working together on the autobiography of wrestling journeyman Dusty Wolfe, the re-release of Bruno Sammartino’s autobiography, several yearbooks focused on the Mid South and other future projects. Tramel lives in Steele, MO and has three daughters – Kayte , Karly and Beth.

Why Have Babies: An Argument for Raising Children

Being a parent is a lifetime event and there are few guarantees. Nobody can foretell the future. We can only do our best and try to be optimistic about the outcome. At the end of the day whether by destiny, fortune, or accident the question remains; why have babies? Perhaps ultimately we do so because they will initiate a ­brighter ­outlook for generations to come.

This book is dedicated to our beautiful son Lyndon and our daughter Sherrie, our son-in-law Peter who is like another son to us, our adorable grandchildren who I could not be more proud of and most outstandingly, to my gorgeous husband Nigel, my very best friend, my soul mate and right arm, who has stood by me through thick and thin, with ­everlasting love. From the bottom of my heart I sincerely hope you will enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I would have liked something similar to read as a young mum, but could not find anything along the same lines. You will never discover all of the answers to child rearing in a book, but with knowledge comes strength. May each of you have a long and productive life. Take each day, one step at a time and may all your problems be little ones. Remember, you cannot buy memories, you have to make them. Love each other, hold hands with your neighbours and love the life that you have been given. And so as another chapter of your life begins may your God go with you. Been there, done that, then wrote the book. From one hell of a happy and contented ‘young’ Granny with ‘attitude’. Blessed are the children for they shall inherit the earth. A MOTHER’S LOVE KNOWS NO END
