  • - Love as an Ultimate Unifier
    af Michael Bassey Eneyo
    187,95 kr.

    This book is borne out of the author's desire to introduce Philosophy of Unity as one of the emerging philosophical paradigms tasked with the responsibility of offering practical ideas to contend with the alarming crisis, disunity, division, disassociation, war, terrorism, distrust and the general unrest that have engulfed the present human society. The author decries human disjointedness from the original purpose of love and the need for complementary living. Thus, attributing the challenges so experienced in the recent human tension-laden society to this negation.The book stands out as a portal of plethora of knowledge that unravels love as the ultimate unifier of the multiplicity of things in the universe, of which the unity and the separation of things in the world are necessitated by it. The author reasoned that, without love, the idea of the universe is inconceivable.The principle of inclusiveness is adopted by the author to drive home the point that the warring opposites, the conflicting issues and the fragments characterizing the universe should not be taken as reasons for division and disunity. Rather, it should be seen as means through which human limitations can be overcome if these different entities are brought together for the overall good of human beings. Hence, all fragments and their opposites are necessary since it is by their existence that our individuals and collective essences are fully put to use.The book is highly recommended for the general public, countries, especially those with multiple religions and ethnicities. It is very relevant to scholars in the areas of Philosophy, Religion, Political Science, Public and International Studies, Public Administration and Sociology. It is also useful to those who study or engage in conflict resolutions, especially in the crisis-prone communities. All lovers of wisdom will find the book useful in their respective areas of research.

  • - 900 Super Four Z1
    af Stefan R Oehl
    504,95 - 590,95 kr.

    A Golden Era The story of how Kawasaki superbikes appeared on the stage and evolved over almost two decades is presented by Stefan R. Oehl in 8 volumes. The code name for the Z1 project "New York Steak" was already invented in 1971. Designed in accordance with the secret "The three S Styling Concept" ("Slim, Sleek and Sexy"), it would be the beginning of a legendary superbike series. Initially the major market for the Z1 was the USA and so the first road tests with the latest prototype versions ("V-bikes") took place on US highways and raceways in early and mid 1972. To keep the project a secret, the engineers painted the motorcycles in Honda blue and installed Honda badges on the tank. Kawasaki presented its first four cylinder four stroke superbike the 900 Super Four Z1 to the public in 1972 on the bicycle and motorcycle exhibition IFMA in Cologne Germany.

    Is the end near? I have documented in this book what happened before the earth was created and how it was developed into its current state. I continue with a chronological summary of the almost 6000 years since mankind has occupied the earth and explore the forces that have caused many of the world`s battles, including the past and current wars in the Middle East. This book also compares the historic fall of Israel to the potential downfall of the United States and discusses the real reasons we are having the climate change debate, and how this is being used as a platform for world control. I explore how the powerful World Economic Forum is organising a total world reset of many of things that we hold dear. The book provides a potential timeline of when the end times may commence and the detailed logic behind this reasoning. I also provide an in depth analysis of the end times, and the devastation that is ahead of us. Is it probable that this will occur within the next decade? I believe that this is essential reading for all who are interested in understanding what the future holds for yourself, your family, and for all of humanity.

    So, the book is essentially my day-to-day activities of traveling from Tokyo, Japan to Shanghai China, and then the course of 4 months through China, including the Great Wall of China, the terracotta warriors at Xi'an, the granite cliffs along the Li River from Guilin to Yangshou, and finally leaving China via the modern city of Shenzhen to Hong Kong. As a side, the 1991 Rugby World Cup is going on in Europe, where I have included newspaper clippings and only two years after the Tiananmen Massacre. I have published my accounts on my Wordpress account in 2019.

    155,95 kr.

    "The Pirates of Paradise: A Not So Serious Boat Trip in Indonesia" invites readers on a rollicking journey with Cory, a charismatic surfer-craftsman, and 8 fellow wave enthusiasts, guided by a Pinky the sea-savvy Surf guide.

The eclectic group transforms from strangers to an inseparable crew, bonding over shared waves and Cold Bintangs. As the boat weaves through hidden coves and pristine breaks, each chapter becomes a canvas where the surfers and the sea create masterpieces of friendship and fun. The dynamic personalities of the crew, each with quirks and talents, add layers of humor and warmth to the narrative. The journey is sprinkled with spontaneous experiences, impromptu surf sessions, and nights filled with storytelling under star-studded skies on the deck. Cory's storytelling prowess transforms the boat trip into an immersive experience. Readers are not just observers; they become honorary crew members, feeling the sea spray and sharing in the laughter echoing across the waves. "The Pirates of Paradise" is not just a surf memoir; it's a celebration of friendship, the ocean's magic, and the joy found in embracing the unexpected twists of a not-so-serious boat trip in Indonesia.

  • - a collection of short stories
     
    163,95 kr.

    Long and Winding Road is a collection of eleven short stories. Nine of the stories are prose; one is a play, and another is a narrative poem; but all eleven are really stories, just in different genres. The value of a collection of short stories is that you can read just one story at a sitting (or two sittings for the longer stories), rest from it, and then dip in for another treat next reading session. Settings are primarily Australian, though one story is set in a fictitious ancient kingdom and one in northern Mexico and parts of USA. The short play is set in a nursing home, of all places. Readers will meet a range of interesting characters: Miss Magnolia (who has a secret!), Viv Black (who uncovers a secret), the trans-gender Al = Mara, the young loom-girl Therese who becomes Queen, the boy-wonder Agave (who was born without vocal cords! but is anything but mute), Mohair Mary, the talented and prescient Aboriginal woman Doreen, teen Essie/Esmerelda who discovers gold as she discovers her Self, the former sex-worker Penelope in a nursing home, Master Nathaniel who dies by guillotine (!), and dozens more. Some stories border on the bawdy (but nothing X-rated), some deal with tragedy and misadventure, some with romance and strong personal bonds. It's like life. We trudge along life's path - the winding road - dragging life's burdens behind in the dust, not knowing what lies around the next bend. But always there are more stories to tell.

    This is a book where Jennifer Worth's Call the Midwife meets Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes in Australia, with a nod to AB Facey's A Fortunate Life, as it presents the early years of one migrant family's experience after arriving by ship in Australia in the 1950s. Babies, marriages, childhoods, and relationships in general figure prominently not only for those arriving with their large families but also for the Australians who had a similar fertility. All of these have provided material for rollicking good yarns about the real people of the fictional parish, St Kitts, in a fictional country town in Victoria, Australia, going about their daily lives.

    I married Edward, the boy next door. My life had been quiet and calm whilst Edward's loud and full of life with a big family, but that's us. Having vintage cars, we really enjoyed vintage car rallies and camping. That's how our lifetime of spontaneity, travel and adventure started. We left Rhodesia (Now Zimbabwe), for South Africa before setting sail to Australia in May 1968. It was eight months of mostly mud, dust and corrugated, isolated outback roads, in a trusty 1928 Model A Ford named 'Old Henry' and with a husband who could virtually tie a car together with wire and string and get it back on the road.

    The winner takes it all It is 1982. Like the year before Eddie Lawson captures the title Superbike champion. His bike is a converted Z1000 J type S1. 1982 was also the end of the seven year 1000cc AMA competition. For safety reasons AMA decided to reduce the maximum capacity to 750cc. His first championship inspired Kawasaki to develop a limited and street legal version of the Z1000 S1 racer. A tank badge bears the number 1 and the signature of Eddie Lawson surrounded by bay leaves. Only the 1982 model is a genuine "Eddie Lawson Replica". It was followed by the 1983 "Superbike Replica" in two colour schemes and a modified tank badge. In 1984 the final version of this model range appeared, fitted with an 1100cc engine, two colour schemes and some other minor changes. After a second production year with an unchanged Z1100 R the chapter was closed in 1985.

  • - 78 Days of Uranium Deep Seeding
    af Srdan Aleksic
    156,95 - 351,95 kr.

    The book once again reminds of the tragic fate of the Serbian people during the NATO aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999. Also, lawyer Dr. Sran Aleksi talks about his legal fight against NATO and against the use of depleted uranium ammunition. A very important segment is the use of ammunition with depleted uranium, as well as the presentation of the consequences of using ammunition with depleted uranium. Due to the far-reaching and long-lasting consequences caused by NATO's aggression in 1999, it is necessary that everyone from their domain contributes to the fight for the truth to come to the surface, for the citizens of the Republic of Serbia to receive compensation for all the damage that NATO has caused. In other words, the book indicates that it is necessary for all those who were affected by depleted uranium to receive monetary compensation. Also, it is necessary to clean our country from undegraded depleted uranium. In particular, we should bear in mind the huge amount of depleted uranium that NATO dumped on the soil of the then FR Yugoslavia. Some analyzes indicate that the amount is greater than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Certainly, the consequences can be remedied in such a way that those who caused the damage will open hospitals where people will be treated with the most modern methods, using the most modern equipment, where the quality of life of people suffering from cancer will be improved as much as possible. Justice must lead to the fact that all the countries that participated in the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia correct the eco-catastrophe that they caused not only to Serbia but to all of humanity. A special segment of the book is the practice of Italian courts. In the end, we can say that the focus of the entire book is man and man's destiny, looking at it from the point of view of good, but also from the point of view of evil. A person fights and hopes while he is alive, this is exactly the case with all the victims of depleted uranium ammunition, who fight their hardest battles every day, they fight, but they also pray, because it seems that only God has not forgotten about those people.

    Making Money Without Money relates the author's experience of making more money in a week running a course than he had ever made over the same time period when he held paid jobs. The story is even more impressive in that he made this money without spending any money; in fact, he did this when he was completely broke as a result of being unemployed for 8 months after being forced to resign from his last job. Following that first experience, he developed several other courses based on the knowledge he had acquired over the years of working in the coffee industry and made even more during the following few months, using the same strategy of not spending any of his own money. That was back in 2001. The experience changed the course of his life. He has been self-employed since as a writer, speaker, trainer and mentor.

    This is a wry but candid first-person account of the scandal surrounding the corruption of the NSW Minister for Corrective Services Rex Jackson. It is written by the then high-profile criminal defence lawyer who was jailed for his part in it. It winds through an intriguing slice of Sydney's 'colourful' underworld at that time - half-arsed crims; some straight and some very bent coppers; dodgy policing practices; court tactics; informants now named; prison life and the kindness of fellow prisoners.Behind all this there is an uneasy backdrop of paranoia-tinged menace - suspected conspiracies, reports of betrayals and executions, anonymous death threats. This dark account is nuanced by its unexpected humour and the gently passing story of his Jewish family, their feuds and oddities, and his parents' brave move from grey post-war England to promised 'Sunny Australia'. They were bolstered by the success of their eldest son and dismayed by his eventual downfall as a self-described 'corruptible sod'. This account is worrying, sad and drily comic.

    I grew up during the hardships of World War II in a family with limited income and a father devoted to racing pigeons left behind by two brothers who didn't return from war. Life was tough. My holidays at a fishing village dictated subsistence living and improvisation. With limited schooling my cousins learnt to build canoes, sailing boats, launches and two weatherboard homes designed with pencil sketches.My grandfather surprised me when thirteen years old with seven magic words that helped shape my attitude to life. From being shy, my athleticism led to a range of different sports, and I played with and against some of the greats, including three Australian legends. As a young engineer I earned the respect of my technical staffs and rose to be regarded as a technical expert. This became a stumbling block for further promotion.I found my sport, coaching, life experience, and the study of creativity, held the leadership skills which enabled me to reach the fast lane of business. The financial rewards, the opportunity to experience other cultures and see some world treasures, were balanced by stress, health problems, and lost family time.I believe my story and what I've learnt show how to improve motivation, learn new skills, and enhance self-esteem.
