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.

We may think we know Sarah Palin from all the coverage she has
received in the political arena, but one-side depictions but media
coverage is limited and, Sarah would even say, biased. OUR SARAH is
also a bit biased since it's written by Sarah's dad and brother
with contributions from many friends and colleagues--these are the
people who know her--and love her--best.
Combining the appeal of Sarah Palin's bestselling book, "Going
Rogue, " with the flavor of the hugely successful TV show "Sarah
Palin's Alaska," here are intimate stories from Sarah's life along
with a celebration of growing up in and sharing all that Alaska
means to Sarah and her family. Sarah's dad and brother share great
family stories of life in the last frontier--from hiking, camping,
fishing, hunting and gold-mining, to marathon running, teaching and
community service--first in small ways and then on a national
stage. Structured around themes of family, faith, independence,
resilience, character, risk-taking and adventure--here is a full
and loving portrait of where Sarah Palin came from and what made
her the person she is today.
From her humble beginnings to her time in the spotlight as the
first female Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin
has led an extraordinary life. "Going Rogue" recounts her political
experiences, her time as Mayor of Wasilla and as the first female
governor of Alaska, as well as her rapid rise on the national stage
during the 2008 campaign. Additionally, she shares insights into
the personal challenges she's faced including balancing her time as
a working mother, recognizing the war's impact with her son serving
combat in Iraq, having a child with a disability, and supporting
her teenage daughter through an unplanned pregnancy. Palin has
received much attention through the media, and now, her complete
story is available in paperback - a personal and political
chronicle of her life.
Martin Sproale is a mild, conventional assistant postmaster living
in a small English coastal town, the only exceptional thing about
him being his obsession with Ernest Hemingway. This is confined
harmlessly enough to an encyclopaedic knowledge of everything about
the man and to living in a room surrounded by Hemingway
memorabilia. But when an ambitious young outsider, Nick Marshall,
is appointed postmaster over Martin and starts to transform the
friendly local post office for privatization and the high-tech
challenges of the 21st century, Martin is faced with a choice--to
go along with the drastic changes, or to be like his hero and fight
for what he believes in. Egged on by an American scholar, Ruth
Kohler, who is living nearby while completing a book in Hemingway,
Martin allows his obsession to take over more and more of his life,
culminating in a final, reckless act of revenge against the
ruthless modernizers.
_______________ THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: the remarkable true
story of the exploration ship featured in The Terror In the early
years of Queen Victoria's reign, HMS Erebus undertook two of the
most ambitious naval expeditions of all time. On the first, she
ventured further south than any human had ever been. On the second,
she vanished with her 129-strong crew in the wastes of the Canadian
Arctic, along with the HMS Terror. Her fate remained a mystery for
over 160 years. Then, in 2014, she was found. This is her story.

_______________ A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 'Beyond terrific . .
. I didn't want it to end.' Bill Bryson 'Illuminated by flashes of
gentle wit . . . It's a fascinating story that [Palin] brings
full-bloodedly to life.' Guardian 'This is an incredible book . . .
The Erebus story is the Arctic epic we've all been waiting for.'
Nicholas Crane 'Thoroughly absorbs the reader. . . Carefully
researched and well-crafted, it brings the story of a ship vividly
to life.' Sunday Times 'A great story . . . Told in a very relaxed
and sometimes - as you might expect - very funny Palin style.'
David Baddiel, Daily Mail 'Magisterial . . . Brings energy, wit and
humanity to a story that has never ceased to tantalise people since
the 1840s.' The Times

'The pace of this kind of travel has not much changed since Fogg
set out in 1872. Trains may be a little faster, but there are
certainly no high-speed rail links yet across India, China or the
USA. Passenger services have practically disappeared from the
world's shipping lanes ... Recourse to air travel, even as a
convenient means of escape, was not allowed.' Following the route
taken by Phileas Fogg 115 years earlier, Michael Palin set out from
the Reform Club to circumnavigate the world. The rules were simple,
but nothing else about the trip was straightforward... From a tour
of Venice on a rubbish barge to ship spotting at the Suez Canal and
the bicycle rush hour and snake snacks in China, this is an
unparalleled tribute to man's ability to make life difficult for
himself.
