Britain's very own embarrassing (royal) granddad turned 90 this
year and this shamefully funny collection of the Duke's greatest
gaffes celebrates the best from a lifetime of quotes that made the
nation groan and then laugh with embarrassment. With illustrations
throughout, this is a laugh-out-loud funny tribute to the master of
mis-speaking: When accepting a figurine from a woman during a visit
to Kenya he said: 'You are a woman aren't you?' He asked a Scottish
driving instructor how he 'kept the natives off the booze' long
enough to get a licence. In Cardiff he told children from the
British Deaf Association, who were stood by a Caribbean steel band:
'If you're near that music it's no wonder you're deaf'. 'Still
throwing spears?' - a question to an Aborigine during a visit to
Australia.
"An outstanding image consists of more than just acceptable
exposure and sharp focus - the two components that most photography
instruction emphasize. A fascinating subject doesn't necessarily
result in a good image, and likewise, it's possible to create an
impressive image from a mundane subject. How do you capture that
perfect image, and more importantly, what makes it great? That's
where this book comes in. Rather than wasting time trying one
approach after another until something seems right or memorizing a
list of rules, discover a new, more comprehensive and yet intuitive
way to think about photography and see the world around you by
using visual intensity. The quality of your imagery and the speed
of your workflow will both vastly improve once you are able to use
these techniques to articulate why you prefer one image to another.
Mother and son team Ellen and Josh Anon have spent years perfecting
their visual intensity based approach to composition, and in this
gorgeous, full color guide, they'll share their techniques with you
so that your overall photographic experience, both in terms of time
investment and quality of output, will become far more satisfying."

First Contact. The Next Visitation. A conduit to The Divine, in the
advent of ‘His’ return. Whether Alien or God, the History and
purpose of The Pyramids is rewritten. Or dare I say, explained; and
the mystery of UFO’s unraveled. No stone is left unturned.
Nothing is as it seems. Must we now unlearn all that we have been
taught. I think we might. This book is persuasive. Often biblical,
as though ‘The Proclamation of John’, you can trudge through
this intelligent and treacle rich literary style, and enjoy it for
that alone. Or enjoy the vistas of a new perspective, and walk away
from it profoundly changed, with a collection of unique gems of
knowledge and fresh ideas. This book is thought provoking. It will
make you wonder. You won’t read it as Science Fiction: it reads
as ‘The One Truth’ awaiting rediscovery. Quote: “This is the
trough where Great Leaders of The Future will drink”. & “ ~
as they lift the words from the pages of this humble binding, to
gain their inspiration”. This book is raw, with a palatable
sprinkling of social engineering. Books such as this are rare, and
when they do happen along, and manage to avoid being ignored and
undiscovered; or simply discarded into the annals of literature to
be forgotten, they form the very backbone of a cult following,
political movement or religion, that have, have had, or will have,
an impact upon Our World. Reading this book has been an education.

Forgive your enemies, they say. Keep their addresses and keep
notes, I say. In Access All Areas, you'll learn how to buy three
Premier League points for just GBP25,000, what it's really like to
face a Football Association disciplinary hearing, and why every
footballer in the country shuddered when they heard about the Ched
Evans case. Add to that The Secret Footballer's no-holds-barred
tour of the country's Premier League clubs - telling us what it's
like to play in each ground and revealing the one that all players
really hate to go to - and you get an entertaining glimpse into a
world that's normally off-limits to the fans. Unapologetically
opinionated, witty and honest, Access All Areas is every thinking
fan's guide to the beautiful game. I am The Secret Footballer and
all bets from here on in are off...
This updated edition of the bestselling and wildly popular I Am the
Secret Footballer features a new introduction and an additional
chapter. The anonymous writer of the Guardian's 'Secret Footballer'
column gives Premier League fans an insider's look into the unseen
world of professional football. 'It is often said that 95% of what
happens in football takes place behind closed doors. Many of these
stories I shouldn't be telling you. But I will.' Who is The Secret
Footballer? Only a few people know the true identity of the man
inside the game. Whoever he is-and whatever team he plays for - TSF
is always honest, fearless and opinionated. Here he takes readers
past the locker-room door and reveals the inner workings of a
professional club, the exhilarating highs and crushing lows, and
what it's really like to do the job most of us can only dream of
doing. TFS chronicles the exploits of his Premiership colleagues
with a gimlet eye and frank humour. Managers, agents and players
are not spared from his observations - their mindsets, their
relationships with those outside the sport, their behaviour good
and bad. In his inimitable style, TSF recounts entertaining and
eyebrow-raising vignettes, naming names and dropping colourful
details along the way.
Countless thousands of people around the world have been restored
to joyful living by practicing the principles embodied in Al-Anon's
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. The Steps outline a program of
personal recovery from the often devastating effects of another's
alcoholism. The Traditions, which are the gentle guides used by
Al-Anon groups, are readily adapted to healing personal
relationships.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER / #1 WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER /
#1 PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY BESTSELLER / #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER No American
leader has accomplished more for his state than Governor Ron
DeSantis. Now he reveals how he did it. He played baseball for
Yale, graduated with honors from Harvard Law School, and served in
Iraq and in the halls of Congress. But in all these places, Ron
DeSantis learned the same lesson: He didn't want to be part of the
leftist elite. His heart was always for the people of Florida, one
of the most diverse and culturally rich states in the union. Since
becoming governor of the Sunshine State, he has fought--and
won--battle after battle, defeating not just opposition from the
political left, but a barrage of hostile media coverage proclaiming
the end of the world. When he implemented COVID-19 policies based
on evidence and focused on freedoms, the press launched a smear
campaign against him, yet Florida's economy thrived, its education
system outperformed the nation, and Florida's COVID mortality rate
for seniors was lower than that in thirty-eight states. When he
enacted policies to keep leftist political concepts like critical
race theory and woke gender ideology out of Florida's classrooms,
the media demagogued his actions, but parents across Florida
rallied to his cause. Dishonest attacks from the media don't deter
him. In fact, DeSantis keeps racking up wins for Floridians. In
2022, the governor delivered a historic, record-setting victory,
winning by nearly 20 points and more than 1.5 million votes. A
firsthand account from the blue-collar boy who grew up to take on
Disney and Dr. Fauci, The Courage to Be Free delivers something
rare from an elected leader: stories of victory. This book is a
winning blueprint for patriots across the country. And it is a
rallying cry for every American who wishes to preserve our
liberties.
Ancient Egyptians imagined the afterlife as a kind of journey you
had to make to get to paradise - but it was quite a hazardous
journey so you would need help along the way. So spells and magic
formulas written on papyrus were placed in coffins and burial
chambers and believed to protect and aid the deceased in duat, or
the underworld. These funerary texts were developed over many
centuries into individualized collections known as the Book of the
Dead. One of the best-known versions, the 'Papyrus of Ani', is
featured here. Some 192 spells are known, although no single
manuscript contains them all. The spells are designed to give the
dead mystical knowledge in the afterlife, offer incantations to
help preserve different parts of the deceased, and protect the dead
from hostile forces. Some of the spells are to make sure you can
control your own body after death. The ancient Egyptians believed
that a person was made up of different elements: body, spirit,
name, heart, all embodiments of a person, and they were afraid that
these elements would disperse when you died. Presented in a
high-quality Chinese-bound format with accompanying illustrations,
Egyptian Book of the Dead is an ideal resource of esoteric wisdom
for anyone interested in Ancient Egyptian notions of death and the
path to the afterlife.
The outspoken anonymous author is back with the ultimate book to

intelligence and candour, the Secret Footballer will guide you

analysis of modern tactics; insight into the psychology of players
on and off the pitch; tips on nutrition and fitness; how to deal
with fans (including what it's like to play in each Premier League
ground in England); a guide to modern footballing language; and a

why exactly Rooney is worth GBP300,000 a week, or who the greatest
player of all time is, you will find it all here. Fully illustrated
with line drawings showing the technical aspects of the game, this
will be the perfect Christmas gift for aspiring football stars and
armchair pundits alike.
I will teach them literature, poetry, culture. I will teach them The Waste Land ! I will be the Best Teacher Who Has Ever Lived!
Or so the Secret Teacher thinks. On his first day at an inner-city state school things don’t quite go to plan . . .
His students are an unruly mob stuffed with behavioural issues, but somehow, the Secret Teacher needs to enthuse them with a love of books. Or at least keep them sitting at their desks until the end of the lesson. And then he’s got to deal with marking, OFSTED, educational consultants, spreadsheets, personal statements, school trips, strikes, class, race, love, death, birth, manhood, dry cleaning, the end of literary culture . . .
This is a vivid account of the Secret Teacher’s first few years in the classroom. Here he celebrates the extraordinary teachers he has worked with, and the kids: bolshie, bright, funny and absolutely eclectic.
I like to go walking and talking with my mom. So says Jonathan, age five, as he starts off on his daily walk with Mom through the bustling streets of the city. But theirs is no straightforward, ordinary walk. They walk in as many different steps as a child's imagination can create-from zigzag steps to reggae steps, from giant steps to crazy crisscross steps. Each step brings a new discovery for Jonathan as he and his mom explore their dynamic neighborhood. By the end of the day, the two are tired, and backward steps lead them past familiar sights as they make their way home. With its urban beat, vibrant illustrations, and strong sense of affection and play, this story of city living and family love is the perfect book for adults and children to share.
