Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Isolation.
The Alaskan Territory.
In the 1950s Alaska was not yet a state when a young woman, the
author Ruth Vincent, accompanied her biologist husband to remote
Afognak Island.
The two were alone with short-wave radio and bush pilots as their
only connection with the outside world. Months at a time would
elapse without Ruth even seeing another woman. Foxes became pets,
mail was delivered by bush pilots, snowshoes were essential, and
puffin eggs enhanced meals.
"In the Wake of the Frontier" vividly portrays this three-year
adventure. Life on Afognak Island included coping without
electricity or running water, facing Kodiak brown bears, and
dealing with life-threatening situations. At the same time, the
stunning Alaskan scenery and idyllic peacefulness were
breathtaking. Through the author's eyes, dealing with emergencies,
aloneness, and inconveniences all come alive in this engaging
historical memoir.
Based on comprehensive statistical data and detailed analyses of
case histories drawn from private practice, maternity homes, and a
county hospital, this book examines the societal, familial, and
psychological factors in illegitimacy.

As the late Bob Marley (R.I.P) so rightly sang, "Who feels it knows
it!" While you can read many books out there that have been written
by Ph.D. titled persons, who, I have no doubt, are well respected
in their various professional fields, most of them can only offer
you 'classroom' tactics of how to cope with and survive
unemployment because they have never been unemployed themselves. I
have been unemployed for more than five (5) years. So, I have felt
the sting and scourge of unemployment and I KNOW, in a very real
and intimate way, what being unemployed feels like. In this book, I
share with you some of my own unemployment challenges. At the end
of each of the 15 chapters I also share with you some precise
activities that you can immediately implement. In chapter 15, I
share some sound financial advice from my cumulative financial
qualifications and experience as an M.B.A graduate in International
Finance, Portfolio Manager, Associate Professor in Finance &
Business etc.
