England and Eternity by Declan Kiberd Pdf

A teasing but affectionate celebration of cricket through the ages, written by one of Ireland's greatest living critics. Cricket is the strangest game. It features idealism, brutality, low comedy, high intelligence, luck and sheer bravery in equal measure - and often achieves the condition of art. Declan Kiberd's remarkable book is a celebration of cricket through the ages, and of the peculiarities of the people who love and play it. He evokes brilliantly what it is like to be 'out there' on the field of play. Although the modern game is rooted in the gentle rural England described by LP Hartley and George Orwell, it has in its more modern versions come to reflect the industrial power and intermittent violence of modern life. England and Eternityis a teasing but affectionate study of the genius of the English people as seen from a postcolonial perspective - and of the game which was one of their richest, oddest and most lasting gifts to the wider world.

Tomorrow's Eternity by Dr. David E. Miller Pdf

In our first novel, The Dawn of Tomorrow, the readers were introduced to David Rafflinstein. The young man who fell under the addictive spell of Lord Roberts, the mysterious stranger with fantastic, futuristic gadgets and truly amazing powers. The readers were privileged to share the pain and the joy of his bizarre experiences in growing up. Tomorrow's Eternity continues the story in a direct time line with yet more mystery and intrigue as David's life slips from near normalcy back into the powerful grip of the clandestine Altairn Empire. Determined to accomplish his Directed Imperative, Lord Roberts once again invades David's life, again promising to bring him further fame and fortune…and to restore the love of his life. With the lives of those he loves on the line, David has little choice but to return to the influences which previously came close to destroying him, both mentally and physically. Before Lord Roberts can effect further permanent damage upon David' life, he is disabled by a defective Trolitron power unit. And his true identity is discovered. At this point, his replacement, an Android named, Soolatha is introduced. She is painfully naïve, hopelessly in love with David, and reveals Lord Roberts plan to direct human destiny. Soolatha is both a comic and a tragic figure, yet she is the symbol of hope and eventually comes to display more humanity than most humans. Her beauty subjects her to unwanted attention, and her kind and gentle nature becomes an example to all who come to know and love her. In the end Soolatha displays the most basic of all human altruistic traits. She is willing to sacrifice her happiness and perhaps even her life for the humans she has come to know and love. Daring to challenge the unknown, Soolatha elects to set out on a journey through time into the unknown Tomorrow's Eternity is the second book of the Tomorrow's Series.

The Picador Book of Cricket by Ramachandra Guha Pdf

A tribute to the finest writers on the game of cricket and an acknowledgement that the great days of cricket literature are behind us. There was a time when major English writers – P. G. Wodehouse, Arthur Conan Doyle, Alec Waugh – took time off to write about cricket, whereas the cricket book market today is dominated by ghosted autobiographies and statistical compendiums. The Picador Book of Cricket celebrates the best writing on the game and includes many pieces that have been out of print, or difficult to get hold of, for years. Including Neville Cardus, C. L. R. James, John Arlott, V. S. Naipaul, and C. B. Fry, this anthology is a must for any cricket follower or anyone interested in sports writing elevated to high art.

This pioneering study describes the quest of Baptists in the different colonies (later states) to develop their identity as Australians and Baptists. The first comprehensive history of Baptists in Australia with a national focus, the Baptist story is traced from their beginnings in 1831 with the first baptisms in Woolloomooloo Bay (Sydney) in 1832 down to modern times. Changes and continuities, achievements and failures are carefully analyzed and related to the wider social, political and cultural context.The first volume covers the period from 1831 until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 and shows how a strong sense of becoming an Australian Church shaped much of their development from the various types of British Baptists who began the movement in the new nation. What it meant to be an Australian Baptist is described using denominational newspapers, church records and personal memoirs.

Funny You Should Say That by Andrew Martin Pdf

'A fool and his words are soon parted' wrote William Shenstone in 1764; one might add that 'A wit and his words are rarely collected'. Here is the antidote: a dazzling survey of the funniest remarks, quips and observations from Ancient Rome, the Bible and Chaucer right up to The Simpsons and Little Britain. Over 5,000 of the very funniest remarks to have appeared on paper since, well, paper was invented. The quotations are arranged thematically and cover all aspects of life: from the world we inhabit to the things we eat, smoke and drink; from the way we move around to what and how we learn - oh, and the pointlessness of football. There is a short biography of all of the authors in the book, a brief contextual note for each quotation and an index of keywords to help you find you chosen witticism quickly. But do not be over-hasty when you use this book: it is a browser's delight, and should be enjoyed at leisure.
