Book The Prejudged

Download or read book The Prejudged written by Lynne D.M. Noble and published by ShieldCrest. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This autobiographical account records events that unfolded during the particularly dynamic cultural revolution of the fifties, sixties and early seventies. This was the post-war era when the Church slowly began to lose its influence over the day-to-day life of ordinary folk. Furthermore, Dr Spock’s ideas about childcare began to encourage parents to be less rigid and more affectionate with their children and to treat them as individuals. This contrasted with the authoritarian style of parenting which had hitherto demanded absolute obedience and offered little, if any, affection. Such parenting was and is often based on a false understanding of what Christianity is all about and, at its worse, can be abusive. The book is intended to stimulate reflection on why overt abuse is accepted and tolerated, but goes unreported. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the majority of my relatives, friends and neighbours had expressed concern at the physical and emotional abuse I had suffered; and yet none ‘wanted to interfere.’ What mechanisms were in play there? Is this still as likely to happen today and, if not, what has changed? And could the conditions which led to a culture that tolerated abuse ever return?

Book excerpt: Once on a Time (1917) is a fairy tale by A.A. Milne. Known more for his series of Winnie-the-Pooh stories and poems for children, Milne also wrote novels, fairy tales, and plays, including this entirely original work of fiction inspired by the author’s experience in the Great War. Addressing themes of power, conflict, and moral ambiguity, Once on a Time updates the classic fairy tale format for the twentieth century, and remains a wonderful work of fiction for children and adults alike. >While testing out a pair of magical boots, King Merriwig of Euralia, a jolly and decent ruler, accidentally instigates war with a neighboring kingdom. While he is off fighting with the cruel and egotistical King of Barodia, Merriwig’s daughter, Princess Hyacinth, is left in charge of Euralia. Despite her youth, she possesses both wisdom and a desire to do right by her people. But the Countess Belvane, the king’s mistress, has desires of her own. Jealous of Hyacinth, she hatches a plan to take control of the kingdom, causing mischief for the Princess at every turn. With the help of Prince Udo of Araby—who suffers from a strange enchantment—and his companion Coronel, Princess Hyacinth does her best to take care of Euralia until her father is able to return. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A.A. Milne’s Once on a Time is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

Book The Princess Royal Pacifics

Download or read book The Princess Royal Pacifics written by Tim Hillier-Graves and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Stanier joined the LMS in 1932, as their CME, he was expected to breathe new life into this ailing giant. Since its formation it had steadily lost ground to its main rival, the LNER. In Doncaster, Nigel Gresley and his team, with an eye to advancing locomotive design at the same time as making the company commercially successful, had quickly begun producing a series of high performance and iconic Pacific engines to pull their high profile express trains. Their impact left the LMS trailing in their wake.Under previous CMEs, the LMS had concentrated on 4-6-0 designs to pull their express services, but many felt they lacked sufficient power and had little to offer in performance or glamour when compared to their rivals.Stanier, heavily influenced by his mentor, George Churchward, his work on the GWR and the potential of the Pacific design, saw such a class as essential to the success of the LMS. And so the Princess Royal Class came into being, against a background of some opposition and cultural differences. Despite this, they proved their worth and became popular with their crew and managers. Within a few short years, however, their premier position in the company had been taken by a very worthy successor, the Princess Coronation Class.Overshadowed and often overlooked, they tend to be seen as a stepping stone to something better. Yet, in reality they stand up well to the closest scrutiny, and this book tells the story of these engines through the eyes of those who came into contact with them. They also best represent the impact William Stanier had on locomotive design and best describe the way he changed the culture of the LMS to allow it to grow successfully. It is a story of great endeavor and courage that can only be told by revealing and discussing political, social, economic and engineering issues.
