Paperback. Zustand: New. Meta-Age is the final book in a trilogy covering Wayne Lèal's midlife journey. The first book, 20-21, is about developing the discipline to make exercise an intrinsic behaviour such as brushing your teeth. The second, Lone Wolf, introduces the concept of becoming a 'Super-Ager' - one who is biologically…younger than their chronological age. Meta-Age, the final book in the trilogy, marks Wayne's midlife transition and the creation of a new life stage - 'Meta-Age: a midlife extension, not old age'. All health and fitness roads lead to Meta-Age, that is, self-awareness of physical, mental, and social expectations beyond midlife.The desire to defy age is as ancient as human history. We cannot stop the natural intrinsic ageing process, but by taking some preventive actions, we can influence some factors of that process. The Meta-Age philosophy focuses on an extension of midlife, with a short old age, to write a new narrative of ageing as it could - and should - be.

Paperback. Zustand: New. This second volume begins 60 years ago when Elvis Presley returns from the army, wondering if he still has a career and massive fan base after being away for two years.He needn't have worried himself, the fans lapped up his new and more ambitious recordings. Songs like It's Now or Never, Return to Sender… and many more sold in their millions proving the King was back! Although many of Elvis' countless solid gold hits feature in the book, the author is also keen to explore the lesser-known album tracks including the hugely underrated album "Elvis is Back" which came out 60 years ago this year (2020).It is hoped that the reader will look at each song in a different light - maybe they will go and play the lesser heard songs and appreciate them in a whole different way after reading the story behind that particular track. If it further builds on the fans' knowledge about Elvis and brings around a bigger appreciation of Presley's music then the book will have achieved its purpose.

Paperback. Zustand: New. In recent years many first-hand memories of the World Wars and other significant events of the twentieth century have been captured in print and on film. Though extensive, these are only a fraction of the collective memory of the people affected. Most of those involved have now gone, but their memories l…ive on through the people they have told - their families and their friends - but this generation too will pass and with them the wealth of stories they hold on to.As Memories Fade will record these stories in a series of books. Inevitably, many of these stories will be based on wartime experiences, but the series extends into other areas of human endeavour. Many are told by their descendants based on memories and research into surviving documentation others are told by the individuals themselves or by those who knew them.These stories are more than extended anecdotes and have a broader theme relevant to a wider audience. There is a balance of stories about both rich and poor, male and female. Some stories may be about prominent people, but many are about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

Paperback. Zustand: New. With nearly 600 years of history, involving plots, intrigue and paranormal activity, it is surprising that no one has ever before written the definitive history of the Rye House in Hertfordshire. The Rye House - An Investigative History aims to do just that. Through meticulous research, Phil Holland has…written this fascinating account, taking the reader from the House's fifteenth-century origins, through to Tudor times when Catherine Parr spent part of her childhood there; to the Rye House Plot of 1683 - a plan to assassinate King Charles II and the Duke of York; to the widely reported paranormal activity and apparitions; and finally to the present day. The Gatehouse is all that now remains of the fifteenth-century brick-built fortified manor. It is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument and as such is protected by law. The Moated Enclosure is considered to be one of the finest examples of the period in Hertfordshire.It is hoped that this book will enthuse people about the Gatehouse and the history of the Rye House, and that they in turn will come to treasure the building and recognise its importance as a piece of our country's history.

Paperback. Zustand: New. In the long tradition of the anti-hero in English literature, award-winning author Daniel Jacob has created a whole bunch of them - each able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Flashman or anyone from the pages of a Waugh novel. With the touch of a Tom Sharpe for grand farce, the grotesque Crooke-Wells… siblings trace their mean, mendacious and downright nasty steps through a series of plots and pitfalls in their attempt to accumulate unearned and entirely unmerited wealth. Standing like a beacon in this sea of iniquity is the mother, whose string of illicit love affairs seems positively honest by comparison. This is the story of an upper-crust English family which is part of a sub-group known as The Hereditary Rich. Beautifully written and splendidly wicked, The Silence of the Shaggy Rug is not for the faint-hearted or politically correct.

Paperback. Zustand: New. An illustrated book aimed at 4-8 year olds Children are often more attentive than we give them credit for. Parents aren't. Kevin is a sensitive boy, who listens to his mum. Mum does not take any real notice of what Kevin does, preferring to concentrate her efforts in raising his awareness of the dangers…that surround him in his everyday life. The vehicle for this education by fear is 'Great Uncle Stanley', a distant and unseen relative whose careless behaviour resulted in a series of spectacular mishaps. The book follows these misadventures, with Kevin's mental image of Great Uncle Stanley growing ever more dreadful through the cumulative effects of his various calamities. The mother is oblivious of the impact her homilies are having on Kevin. Eventually, Kevin's mental picture of Great Uncle Stanley is as grotesque as Dorian Gray's portrait after a particularly hedonistic session. When his mother announces that Great Uncle Stanley has paid them an unexpected call, Kevin's reaction is to run screaming from this hideous apparition. In the wake of Kevin's frantic departure Great Uncle Stanley (who bears none of the imagined scars) turns to Kevin's mother and warns her of the consequences of exaggerating life's dangers . by doing the same to her. Wells, Thomas (illustrator).
