This fascinating selection of over 180 old photographs and
postcards depicts Windsor and Eton over the last one hundred years.
Windsor's Royal connections and monuments and Eton College are
world famous and need no introduction. Perhaps less well known, but
no less important, are the streets, people and events of everyday
life in and around such internationally renowned landmarks. Street
parties, schools, Dr Barnardo's boys, breweries, amateur dramatics,
pubs, butchers selling ice cream alongside joints and cuts of meat,
evacuees, Boy Scouts, floods, charabanc outings, football teams and
the fire brigade are all remembered in this evocative collection.
The Thames has always played an important part in the life and
development of the town, whether for business or pleasure, as shown
by images of boat builders, bridges, steamer trips, the Empress of
India, the Windsor Belle and College boys rowing on the river. The
author, Mike Stiles, not only spent his formative years in Windsor,
but also worked at Windsor Great Park and on many of the buildings
in the town. Most of the material in his book has been drawn either
from his own extensive collection or from family sources. The
result is an informative, affectionate recollection that will
appeal to all those who know and love this historic area.
Two hundred years ago, a prophet wrote of an approaching cataclysm:
a worldwide rebellion in which millions will die. In 1968, a cult
called the Society of the True Judgment is preparing to rise up and
fulfill this prophecy in bloodshed and death... unless Edwin
Terwilliger can stop it. Ever since Ed Terwilliger's wife was
murdered, his life has become a daily struggle against despair.
When the old ceramic gnome in the garden starts talking to him, he
fears that the last remnant of his sanity has finally slipped away.
But Ed is not crazy-at least, not yet. The gnome is real, and it
knows the truth about why Ed's wife was killed. To find out its
secret, Ed will first have to join forces with it to defeat its old
enemy: the leader of the Society, a powerful telepath who plans to
destroy the world. Forest of the Mind is the first of three volumes
in 'The Book of Terwilliger'.
Help yourself to a speedy and minimally painful knee replacement
recovery. This easy-to-follow book is the result of clinical
physical therapy practice in 5 states with hundreds of knee
replacement patients over the course of 20 years. Despite most
patients getting very similar information instruction and
exercises, there is a large amount of variability in speed of
recovery and perceived difficulty of the recovery process. This
book helps you understand and avoid the 5 major pitfalls that
ensnare most knee replacement patients and provides you with an
easy to use system that leads you through an accelerated path of
recovery safely with the least amount of pain and pain medicine
possible. Potential patients in the 40-64 year old category should
especially seek the strategies encompassed in this book. The
current rehabilitation system was created 20 years ago to cater to
retires. Now, many patients have only a narrow time frame to
complete their recovery before having to get back to work. Find out
how to avoid burning valuable PTO time and wasting money on extra
high co-pays for therapy services ($30-$40 per visit). Recovery
from a total knee replacement need not be a daunting project filled
with doubt, worry and stress. Do yourself a favor, take control of
the recovery process before you get on the surgical table by
educating yourself. You can easily get fast and relatively pain
free results by learning simple principles and following the Fast
Track program. Go ahead, get on the Fast Track now.
