Sir Hyde Clarenden Gowan was born to a prestigious English family and in 1902 he entered the Indian Civil Service to embark upon a career in an exotic new country. Sir Hyde rose from the position of under-secretary to become an important figure of the British Empire. Sir Hyde spent his entire thirty-six year career in the Central Provinces and Berar, becoming Governor in 1933. Despite living for decades in India, he always felt like an alien abroad and often called it an “Ulta pulta desh”: an upside-down-country. Sir Hyde held the post of Governor during one of the most turbulent periods of Indian history. Tensions between Muslim and Hindu groups divided the country whilst nationalists such as Mahatma Gandhi fought for India’s independence from Britain. During this time, the Government of India Act of 1935 was passed forever changing the face of Indian society and the role of governors in the country. When Sir Hyde died suddenly in 1938, he was mourned by the British and Indians alike, having been much loved for his steadfast dedication to his duties. His family received condolences from King George VI and other members of the Royal Family. With an introduction by his son, James Hyde Bowie Gowan, Sir Hyde’s diaries are here reprinted in their entirety alongside some of his speeches. The diaries reveal the great man behind the Governor, the delights and difficulties of his position and an insight into Indian history and life never to be repeated.

A Life In Bits is the moving story of one man's battle with bipolar disorder, a condition whose devastating consequences are still not fully appreciated by the world at large. Charles McMullen’s battle with manic depression, as it is often known, began with a nervous breakdown at the age of nineteen. In his twenties, the suicide of his brother, his own divorce and the loss of his job and his home put him inside a psychiatric hospital. Yet despite the periods of appalling despair and the continued setbacks, Charles can still write at the end of the book ‘Overall, it’s been a pretty happy life’. This inspirational book will be of great interest to anyone who is afflicted by bipolar disorder, or knows one of the many people – roughly one in 25 of the population - who are.
Someone from Detective Inspector John Steadman’s past hated or feared him enough to hire professional killers to murder him and his wife. The hit was carried out with ruthless efficiency, except for one detail. The bullet that smashed into Steadman’s skull left him blind, but still alive - and still equipped with one of the finest minds in the force. As Steadman learns to live with the loss of his sight, his fearless pursuit of the criminal fraternity continues unabated. But to achieve his ultimate goal – to bring to justice the man who robbed him of his vision and his wife - he has nothing to go on except a chilling series of nightmares and a voice; a voice he feels sure he has heard somewhere before.
A few pages inside my Parking Lot zine. It was a zine I did in the summer, that was only constructed while in a car, waiting in the parking lot. Filled with doodles. :)
Fiona Goldsby has emerged triumphant from the terrifying experience of suffering a serious brain tumour. She found very little written material was available to help her in her battle, so she has written Tallulah Tumour, Friend or Foe? to help others dealing with a similar diagnosis. It is intended to provide information about what the patient may expect, with hints and tips to deal with the various side effects. The information in the book will not only be helpful to patients but to caregivers and family members. And as you may guess from the title, there is plenty of humour as well. Profits from sales of this book will be donated to the Macmillan Cancer Support charity.
This is my grandmother's book. I am donating it to libraries in the cities I visit, when I get a chance to.
Taiwan - In the countryside, the funerals are usually accompanied by local chapels. When a family member dies, their body is kept in the house, or in a tent built specifically for this purpose. After a set period of time, the deceased, accompanied by a funeral procession is buried.
