Diving Into Heavy Metal! - Philip Kerr - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Diving Into Heavy Metal! - Philip Kerr - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Everybody knows somebody who is a heavy metal fan - fact! If you are already a fan, our hats off to you. If not, let Philip Kerr be your guide as he takes you back through his life and shows how metal has shaped and enhanced every bit. Diving into Heavy Metal! is a journey of discovery, beginning with Philip as a naive child who found himself transfixed by an incredible sound. There tends to be a misrepresentation of heavy metal fans as weird misfits, and many books and films lampoon the subject. Not so in Philip''s book as he invites the reader into the story of a community of fans across the world joined by their love of this extraordinary music. Many aspects of metal are covered as Philip discovers them on his journey: heavy metal, thrash metal, glam metal and more. He''ll show you some of the more major events in music history, take you to a Sabbat gig in Derby, to see Guns N’ Roses in Manchester, to the Clash of the Titans at the Birmingham NEC, and to the artillery barrage otherwise known as Motörhead! He''ll also shed light on some of the murkier parts of the scene as he delves into the world of death metal. Whether you''re a long-time fan, a recent initiate or a complete newbie, Diving into Heavy Metal! has something for everyone. And while the narrative bursts with humour and passion, it''s also above all an honest look at this music that so many fans centre their lives around and without which, Philip says, he isn''t sure where he''d be!

Miles of Smiles - Rob Foxon - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Miles of Smiles - Rob Foxon - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

It was the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway that created Cleethorpes as a seaside resort in Victorian times. It acquired the entire seafront land; beautifying the Central Promenade for quiet leisure and contemplation, whilst developing the North Promenade for the fun, thrills and excitement of the thousands of visitors it brought to the resort by excursion trains during the summer season. This new work is the story of the development of the Cleethorpes North Promenade and that of Wonderland, the largest covered amusement park on the east coast with shelter for 20,000 people ( Pleasure the Weather Can’t Spoil! ) being told largely through the eyes of those who were there, Wonderland people! Cleethorpes has enjoyed no less than four thrilling roller coaster rides, but like other British seaside resorts, competition from car ownership and overseas package holidays has brought with it a roller coaster of fortunes. Thoroughly researched and illustrated, Miles of Smiles is easy and essential reading for residents and visitors alike, transport enthusiasts and those passionate about the bright lights of the fairground. Miles of Smiles is a journey through time of a traditional British seaside resort, so hold tight and enjoy the ride!

The Trials of Love - David Bryer - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Trials of Love - David Bryer - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Trials of Love , two plays, classics of French dramatic literature, which in these translations were British premieres. The plays had not been performed in English for over 300 years, not until Cheek by Jowl were bold enough to commission them. Both plays are about the agonising tangles brought about by love: The first, Andromache , is by Racine who is a master at depicting the kind of love that can flip over into the opposite, hate, when not requited. In the second, The Cid, by Corneille, the problem here is when love and parental duty conflict.

The Seventh Train - Jackie Carreira - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

“Ingenious, great fun, and wholly original” - Fay Weldon CBE, on The Seventh Train What if you can’t stand where you are because there’s nothing there? What if you don’t want to end up anywhere else in case that’s empty too? When life has lost its road map, sometimes the only way to get back on track is to get back on the rails. The Seventh Train is a ride - a ‘road movie’ on the railways. It’s a journey that Elizabeth invented; the only original thought she has ever had in her previously uneventful life. Unbeknown to her, she is not travelling alone. If only she’d pretended that the spare seat was taken. With a wonderfully eclectic cast of characters, The Seventh Train takes its passengers on a journey from the tragic to the strange, arriving finally at hope. By turns heart-breaking, thought-provoking and hilarious, this tale is a life-affirming exploration of the human spirit via the British railway timetable!

Against Sacrifice - Henry P Wynn - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Against Sacrifice - Henry P Wynn - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This book is directed at the sort of raw utilitarian approach to making hard choices in public life which uses in one form or another the idea of the cash value of a human life. This arises with the use of so-called QALYs in Health Economics and spending caps in Health and Safety at work. These are often forced choices, forced by ethical decisions taken at the centre but then outsourced to the harsh frontiers of ethics. They go hand-in-hand with pernicious attitudes which blame the victims or thinks of them simply as collateral damage. The ethics of war should not be used in peacetime, with loaded words like “proportionality”. The response should be to value life itself and the human qualities of empathy and imagination, requiring us to listen to the narratives of victims. The best option is to remove the hard choices wherever they occur but if that is impossible give generous and swift compensation. The central message is that it cannot be part of the “public good” to sacrifice someone for the public good. That happens with vaccination, but in the long run is not acceptable. We need safer vaccines, better intensive care and so on. These ideas can be captured in the terms “duty of care” and “deliberative democracy”. Every regulator and agency which has power over human life should have duty of care written into its constitution and we need new forms of democracy to debate the issues, particularly within communities. The essay draws on the community-based and experimental ideas of the great American Pragmatist, John Dewey.

The Reason Why I’m Living This Life - Marie Morrison - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Reason Why I’m Living This Life - Marie Morrison - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

There is a common misconception regarding those who attend church and have decided to dedicate their lives to God.Irrespective of our race, gender or nationality, we can be saved; we all have a choice. One of the most powerful things God has given to humankind is free will. He will not force you to serve Him; He takes no pleasure in that and neither would you. We all knew something was missing, we just did not know that it was God.It is mind-blowing when people look at us believing that we were always this way, and you think, If they ever knew! Well, this book is written for you to know. Some have been homeless, lost children, lost parents, drug abusers, drunkards, gang members, heavy smokers, self-harmers, gamblers – you name it, God saved them from it. We all have to begin somewhere, and this is how and where many stories began.

Turnip-Led Weaning - Harriet Beveridge - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Turnip-Led Weaning - Harriet Beveridge - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Turnip-Led Weaning is Supernanny on acid: a handbag-sized, laugh-out-loud parody of mainstream parenting advice. Angelica Fustain is a spoof nanny who covers all the crucial topics of preschooler care – from crying to sleeping and clothing to discipline – but all from a deliciously outrageous viewpoint. Angelica’s motivation is to protect society from the terrible effects of poor parenting. She is neither a parent nor a childcare professional, but her cluelessness doesn’t stop her being outrageously prescriptive and forceful: She champions the rights of innocent bystanders: “It’s your moral duty to invest in adequate sound proofing so baby’s screaming won’t interfere with your neighbours’ bedtime reading.” She believes that hard work always pays off: “By all means use a tumble dryer… but you can enhance the parent-child bond quite magically by singing your children’s clothes dry with your warm breath.” She never misses an opportunity to promote her wide range of merchandise: “You can buy a range of Trudy Truelove ready-made clothes from my website, all reassuringly priced at more than £85 to make sure you never see a child emerge from Aldi wearing the same outfit as your treasured offspring.” Turnip-Led Weaning puts the modern obsession with ‘perfect parenting’ into perspective and helps parents relax about their own efforts.

Ronnie and Hilda’s Romance - Wendy Williams - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Ronnie and Hilda’s Romance - Wendy Williams - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Ronnie and Hilda Williams met by chance aged 21 in Lancashire in November 1945, when Ronnie was home on his first leave after fighting in some of the most bitter campaigns of the Second World War in Italy. With the uncertainty of the future and Ronnie’s obligation to return to active duty as a soldier abroad, Hilda and Ronnie took the ultimate leap of faith and became engaged after knowing each other for only ten days. Until Ronnie was demobbed in May 1947, their letters, over 250 of which remain, were their principal means of getting to know each other and form the main part of this heart-warming story. These eloquent letters, which are in turn happy, sad, humorous, serious and informative, provide a fascinating and vivid glimpse of what life was like in the immediate post-War period, both for Ronnie, still suffering hardship in active service, and for Hilda in a Britain struggling to return to normality. Their determination to be together against all odds will stay with you until long after the final page. Ronnie and Hilda’s Romance is a social and military history, a romance, and, above all, it is about hope for a new and better life after the long-awaited end of the Second World War.

Keeping a Puffer Afloat - Henry Cleary - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Keeping a Puffer Afloat - Henry Cleary - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

From the heart of Rosyth naval base in 1978 five volunteers set out on VIC 56, an elderly steamer snatched from a scrapyard fate. With only a basic radio and a compass made usable by one of the crew, they set out down the North Sea. Turned away by some ports and welcomed in others, she began a new life on the London river just as Docklands was being reborn. This was the first of many challenges to keep the steamer going and family, friends, work colleagues and sympathetic visitors were ruthlessly enlisted to help. A rare survivor of wartime shipping, the puffer attracted interest around the Thames estuary and in 1989 sailed across the North Sea to Flushing in Holland. VIC 56 appeared in arts events and in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant in 2012 before being donated to Portsmouth Boathouse 4 in 2019 where she is a popular exhibit. Trips were only possible through the heavy work programme of the engineers to keep the engine, boiler and other machinery in good order. This book looks at the challenges for small historic vessel owners and how to stay ahead.

Theatres of War - R. J. J. Hall - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

On the landing beaches at Salerno in September 1943, two soldiers face the German bombardment together but they come from different worlds: Frank grew up in the backstreets of London but he’s clever and is now an officer; Edmund is a cricketer from a landed family. Vermillion had fallen for Edmund in Cairo where she monitored German communications. Desperate to see him again, she gets transferred to war-torn Naples. But when Frank discovers an abandoned theatre and stages a revue, she can’t stay away. It proves such a success that Frank is ordered to stay in Naples and put on more shows. Vermillion joins him and her life becomes enmeshed with both men. While Edmund fights in the bitter winter battles near Monte Cassino, Frank dreams of staging an opera. Vermillion still loves Edmund, but she doesn’t want him running her life. And working with Frank, she experiences the independence she’s longed for. Vermillion feels fulfilled, but a time is soon coming when she’ll have to choose… Theatres of War is a love story about sacrifice and duty, and a war story about self-discovery and love. Seen through the eyes of combatants and civilians, it evokes the convulsions of the ‘forgotten’ Italian campaign of World War II. It makes a gripping read for anyone with an interest in historical wartime novels, Italy, opera and love stories.
