Having a moon for a head at high school is a pretty tricky
situation. But when the school talent contest is announced, Joey
Moonhead spots an opportunity to impress his classmates with a
music machine. An imaginative and visually poetic take on the stock
American high school drama, this is one graphic novel that's out of
this world!
The famed, and dangerous North-West Frontier of India was a rocky,
mountainous land between Afghanistan and the settled districts of
the Punjab. A land of hardened Pashtun warriors, fervent clerics
and too little water, once the problem of the British Indian Army
and the Scouts it is now the problem of the Army of Pakistan and
the Frontier Corps. Military aviation above the frontier has had
little real attention, except for a number of light-hearted memoirs
about the challenges of flying antiquated aircraft over precipitous
terrain. The Pakistani Air Force has taken over the job with more
modern aircraft, but it is only since 2004 that independent
American activities in the ongoing fight against militancy in
northern Pakistan have drawn widespread attention to air power over
the frontier. But any wider study of the utility and challenges of
air power in the region would be incomplete without a detailed look
at the Soviet-Afghan War. Aviation came to Afghanistan relatively
early and shares many of the same challenges as aviation in the
neighbouring North-West Frontier Region. The purpose of this book
is to provide a compact, yet comprehensive history of air power in
this region. It covers key aviation events, technological advances
and shortcomings from the days of the fabric-covered bi-wing De
Haviland bombers to the modern jets and armed drones of today. This
look at the British, Pakistani, Afghan, Soviet and US efforts over
this rugged terrain concludes with a number of pertinent
contemporary lessons learnt that will apply to future military
aviation in this region.
Published by CUSTOM BOOK PUBLICATIONS * * * * * A shaken soft drink
requires its cap to be slowly opened to release the pressure
inside. Do it too many times and the drink loses its fizz. Just one
traumatic event can shake a person's emotions so violently it can
cause the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.
The person is then left depressed, anxious and in need of help.
What happens then, to a person who has their emotions shaken on a
daily basis by the worst our society has to offer. Do they lose
their fizz? Welcome to the unique profession of Policing.
POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER... where the past controls today...
as damaging as any life threatening incident officers face on the
street During his twenty-one year service, Andrew Rae worked on the
front line of his state Police Force, confronting scenes that
should only be recognisable through the sterile screen of a
television during a one hour crime drama. Not only were these
horrors seen daily but he touched, heard and smelt them. Then, one
quiet morning free of the usual chaos and drama, Andrew suffered a
breakdown. He was now forced to face his biggest fear and fight his
bravest battle... with himself. Based on real life events, Beneath
The Cap delves into the tortured minds of three police officers who
share a bond much stronger than the uniform they wear. The day
about to confront them could be happening to any police officer,
anywhere in the world THE STORY WILL SHOCK and CONFRONT YOU. Ricky,
a rookie General Duties officer is excited about his day. But will
his youthful innocence provide enough protection to contain the
pressure building within? Thirty-four year old Rowdy is halfway
through his Highway Patrol career. Imperfections forming in his
hardening facade may cause a premature eruption of his emotions.
Dick is a Scene of Crime Officer with twenty-one years' service. He
has done it all and seen it all... So he thought. Confronted with
the house of horrors, will his crusty outer shell be capable of
containing its contents any longer? Stress is the silent force
attacking our Police from within. The real tragedy is, many are
then shunned or discarded like a worn out item of clothing. Come,
take a walk in the shoes of those who suffer it the most... follow
a day in their lives and the next thirteen and a half hours will
seem like a lifetime. POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER... a genuine
psychological illness or a weakness of character? YOU DECIDE.

Salvador Dali is one of the most popular artists in the world,
known for his lavish lifestyle, gravity-defying moustache, and
bizarre art. This book tells the story of Dali's life and explores
the meaning of his Surrealist paintings. It goes beyond his fine
art practice and discusses his venture into the commercial world
from his extravagant jewelry to his cheeky design for the Chupa
Chups lollipops. Surrealism is revealed as a way of life;
illustrations bring to life the extraordinary Dream Ball at the Coq
Rouge, his fabulous home at Port Lligat, and his underwater fantasy
at the World Fair's Surrealist pavilion. Fun, provoking, and
endlessly frustrating, Dali is brought under the spotlight.
Catherine Ingram brings her specialized knowledge to the book,
while Andrew Rae, an award-winning illustrator, vividly portrays
the text.
