Download or read book Under a Mackerel Sky written by Rick Stein and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘All men should strive to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why’ Rick Stein's childhood in 1950s rural Oxfordshire and North Cornwall was idyllic. His parents were charming and gregarious, their five children much-loved and given freedom typical of the time. As he grew older, the holidays were filled with loud and lively parties in his parents' Cornish barn. But ever-present was the unpredicatible mood of his bipolar father, with Rick frequently the focus of his anger and sadness. When Rick was 18 his father killed himself. Emotionally adrift, Rick left for Australia, carrying a suitcase stamped with his father's initials. Manual labour in the outback followed by adventures in America and Mexico toughened up the naive public schoolboy, but at heart he was still lost and unsure what to do with his life. Eventually, Cornwall called him home. From the entrepreneurial days of his mobile disco, the Purple Tiger, to his first, unlikely unlikely nightclub where much of the time was spent breaking up drink-fuelled fights, Rick charts his personal journey in a way that is both wry and perceptive; engaging and witty. Shortlisted for the Specsavers National Book Awards 2013

Book excerpt: Snow leopards and Cossacks can both be dangerous. But to young British officers in India in the nineteenth century there was only one thing more exciting than shooting wild game in the mountains and steppes of Central Asia, and that was spying out those uncharted lands and impeding the advance of Tsarist Russia towards the frontiers of the British Raj.When the two activities were combined in what was euphemistically called shooting leave adventures followed thick and fast.Shooting Leave tells the thrilling story of the dashing cavalry officers who volunteered for these adventures. They were individuals of talent and courage, but also of disturbing prejudice, aristocratic arrogance, missionary zeal or trigger-happy temperament. But whatever their specific task, one factor remained common to all officers sent out on covert and exploratory missions: they were expendable.Here they are brought to life as characters in their own right, as well as players in the Great Game.Praise for Sir John Ure's previous booksPilgrimage:Cheerful and engaging, rich in elegant prose and historical anecdote Sunday Times'Delightful... charts the appeal of nomadic life for generations of European travellers Daily Mail'An excellent collection of travel delicacies Daily TelegraphIn Search of Nomads:'An excellent collection of travel delicacies Sunday Telegraph'Ures book deserves a place in many saddlebags Sunday Times

Download or read book The Development of International Law written by Sir Geoffrey Gilbert Butler and published by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Believing that changes in International Law have been ultimately an expression of changes in the state system of the world and in the practice of the nations, we have tried, as it were, to cut into the procession of history at fixed points, to select some central theme at each stage, and to treat it in the light of history and law. In this attempt we arrived at a division of history from our point of view into three major periods which we have termed respectively those of the Prince, of the Judge, and of the Concert. In the first period, the scholar is still in the age of the dissolving Holy Roman Empire; in the second, commercial and dynastic wars - above all, the long-drawn-out struggle between France and England - dominate the scene; in the third and last, it is the voice of some force other than that of pure nationalism which, whatever the reason, reasserts itself. No division of this kind can be wholly satisfactory, but it is our belief that under one or another of these headings almost every issue which has interest for the historian of the Law of Nations can be conveniently treated." -- from the Preface by the author.
