Hockey's Sticks and Stones is a memoir of Carl Johnson, Squire, "Star of Stage, Screen and Red Neck Bars". It is eminently invigorated with truthfulness, unflinching and absorbed in determination.The author's career in sports uniquely exposes the frailty of our brethren while assisting others to achieve new levels of insanity in the process.It is probable that some will judge the author's literary efforts as "supremely unconventional." When asked of his vision on present day sports..... the author responded, "PLEASE CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA!"The author is a sometimes hockey player, country music singer, inventor and entrepreneur - qualities of an endangered species. But he remains mindful of the Don Quixote of windmills and is a lover of nature and pretty girls.The author currently resides in Ontario's Niagara Region, but Cape Breton will always be his home.

Until quite recently, mind-body dualism has been regarded with deep suspicion by both philosophers and scientists. This has largely been due to the widespread identification of dualism in general with one particular version of it: the interactionist substance dualism of Rene Descartes. This traditional form of dualism has, ever since its first formulation in the seventeenth century, attracted numerous philosophical objections and is now almost universally rejected in scientific circles as empirically inadequate. During the last few years, however, renewed attention has begun to be paid to the dualistic point of view, as a result of increasing discontent with the prevailing materialism and reductionism of contemporary scientific and philosophical thought. Awareness has grown that dualism need not be restricted to its traditional form and that other varieties of dualism are not subject to the difficulties commonly raised against Descartes' own version of it. Interest in these alternative versions of dualism is growing fast today, because it seems that they are capable of capturing deep-seated philosophical intuitions, while also being fully consistent with the methodological assumptions and empirical findings of modern scientific work on the human mind and brain. The object of this book is to provide philosophers, scientists, their students, and the wider general public with an up-to-date overview of current developments in dualistic conceptions of the mind in contemporary philosophy and science."

Road tankers come in many forms, with certain goods very often dictating the type and shape. The transport industry has adapted many innovations over the years and a wide variety of examples have travelled on our roads over the years - powder tanks, tanks for liquids, and even specialised tanks for the carriage of a plethora of goods from live eels to animal feed, cement, plastic pellets and more. All of the images in this book were captured by the author over a number of years. They document an important part of our transport history and will delight enthusiasts and modellers alike.

The 1990s were a time of change as British manufacturers struggled to keep pace with the times and the invasion of imported vehicles. However, what a lot of enthusiasts consider to be classics of their time were still to be seen dutifully earning their keep. A lot of UK companies had by this time already tested the water with seed vehicles, which were put head to head with established makes for comparison. With a wealth of previously unpublished images, this is a fantastic record of the nation's lorry scene during the 1990s.

In the 1980s Great Britain had steadily seen an influx of foreign manufacturers, a trend that was to eventually see the demise of all the major UK makes. However, it was still possible to see lots of interesting vehicles - some companies and individuals remained staunch users of British-built lorries. Quite a few older vehicles could still be seen soldiering on, but as time went on these gradually started to disappear. With a wealth of previously unpublished photos, this volume will bring back some memories of how things used to be.

The days of the fairground operating with steam traction engines have long since gone – the next vehicles to enter the tobers were the internal combustion engine, lorries with both petrol and diesel engines being used. As time went on these old vehicles were brought up to date, and today scene includes modern high-powered lorries, some in articulated form, to cope with the ever increasing demands of sophisticated trailer-mounted loads and greater distances to travel. With a wealth of rare and previously unpublished images, Carl Johnson offers a fascinating record of fairground lorries.

ERF Limited was formed in 1933 when Edwin Richard Foden founded the company with his son Dennis. Under the guidance of design engineer Ernest Sherratt, the best components available at the time were assembled to create vehicles that soon earned a reputation as good lorries capable of earning good revenue with reasonable running costs. This approach continued, more or less, until the end of the company and proved to be a very successful and lucrative business plan with a lot of development costs being borne by the component suppliers. This book is a broad overview of the company, with almost 200 photos offering an insight into the range and model types that spanned the years. The majority of the images included here are previously unpublished and offer a wonderful tribute to this much-loved manufacturer.
