The Alby Mangels Story by Lynn Santer Pdf

Before Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee there was Alby Mangels -- the original Australian wild man and conservationist. An icon of the 80s who shot to fame and fortune through his ground-breaking World Safari series (as well as his many near death experiences and the beautiful women who were always in tow), Alby Mangels has finally broken fifteen years of self-imposed seclusion to re-emerge looking stronger, healthier and more daring than ever. At the height of his fame Alby Mangels was more than just a household name - he was a legend. His blockbuster travel documentaries, the WORLD SAFARI series, blazed a path into untamed territories. He explored the world and took us along. With an irrepressible spirit of adventure, his bull terrier by his side and a crew of willing accomplices, Alby's daring and dangerous exploits catapulted this very private person from obscurity to superstardom. The backlash was just as swift. Claims were made that his films were misleading and staged. A nature lover, he was accused of animal cruelty and even in his personal life Alby was often branded a 'playboy'. Now, decades on, Lynn Santer takes us beyond the WORLD SAFARI series to find the real Alby Manges - a legend who disappeared from the public spotlight no sooner than he'd found it. Discover the untold stories that followed, as Alby continued to explore the traditional cultures, natural wonders and incredible animals that share our planet. With a balance between the psychological impact that people and events had on Alby, and the pure action of his adventures, this book can take you on an exciting journey of its own. Anyone interested in adventure - who longs to experience it themselves, or just kick back and savour the adventures of others - will find 'The Alby Mangels Story' a satisfying trek into the world of a free-spirit and a spiritual inspiration.

Don't Feel Like a Prick? by Lynn Santer,Brett Sherwell,Andrew Jacob,Karen O'Brien Pdf

Many people have asked me why I've written this book. The reason is simple. Although I have lived around diabetes since I was seven years old, even though several of my friends and neighbours were diagnosed with the condition years ahead of my own recent diagnosis, it wasn't until I was diagnosed that I truly realised the terrifying level of apathy and denial there is about diabetes, the minefield of misinformation that is out there, nor how enormous the spread of this global pandemic has become. There are countless books and theories and claims and counterclaims about diabetes, and in no way is this modest little publication designed to be the ultimate authority on the disease – far from it. No, my reason for doing this is to make you laugh, make you think, wake you up and show you both how easy and how important it is that you take responsibility and take it seriously… NOW. My father was a pharmaceutical chemist, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Health (London), chairman of an international pharmaceutical company… and a diabetic. He was diagnosed with Type Two diabetes when he was 36 years old, slim bordering on skinny, active and otherwise healthy. His career began in medical research and ultimately took him all over the world from the darkest corners of West Africa to the most fashionable quarters of Paris and the Caribbean. In the process he met some of the finest medical minds on the planet (many of whom are still my personal friends) and he witnessed some horrors that defy belief… and he did all this as a diabetic.Open, raw, honest, at times funny, at times poignant, at times unapologetically confrontational, this book is designed to inspire, assist and guide you – particularly if you are pre-diabetic, newly diagnosed with diabetes Type Two, or if you are a friend or family member of a diabetic. All facts and statistics in this book have sources from the official authorities on diabetes… my irreverent language and tone have not!* Enjoy * Be inspired * Take action!

Redback One by Robert Macklin Pdf

Explosive SAS action in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. The command came: 'Stop those vehicles!' It was like a red rag to a bull. Instantly streams of 7.62 mm tracer and 50 mm calibre machine gun rounds arced across the night sky and smashed into the bus and truck. Elite SAS Patrol Commander Stuart 'Nev' Bonner takes us inside the extraordinary and dangerous world of secret combat operations in this explosive, behind-the-scenes look at life inside the SAS. A world where capture means torture or death, and every move is trained for with precision detail to bring elite soldiers to the very peak of fighting ability. In a career spanning twenty years, fourteen of them in the SAS, Bonner shares with us the inside story of being out in front ? and often behind enemy lines. From patrolling the mountains of East Timor to covert operations in Bougainville and the Solomon Islands, from sweeping into the Iraqi desert ahead of invading US forces to cripple Saddam Hussein's communications to patrolling in war-torn Baghdad and being in the middle of the disastrous Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan ? this is a no holds barred account of what it like to live, eat and breathe SAS.

Enlightening and controversial at once, this book puts a human face on globalization.

Representing Aboriginality by Sacha Clelland-Stokes Pdf

Representing Aboriginality takes a close look at the dominant trends in the representation of aboriginal people in Australian, South African and Aotearoa/ New Zealand film. Jan Mohamed's thesis of The Economy of the Manichean Allegory is employed to interrogate these trends in terms of Other/Self binaries, where representations of the Other are understood to be sensitive to tensions within the individual psyches of the media-makers as well as to social tensions and stresses within the "political unconscious" of the society in which they appear. Thee films are analyzed in the discussion of the dominant trends: The Great Dance- a hunter's story, The Last Wave, and Once Were Warriors. Clelland-Stokes' forceful analysis of visual representations pf aboriginality will be of interest to scholars and students on the fields of visual anthropology, cultural anthropology, culture and media studies, film studies, and anyone interested in the visual culture of aboriginal and indigenous communities.
