The Gallipoli Experience Reconsidered
The Gallipoli Campaign is generally viewed as a disastrous failure of the First World War, inadequately redeemed by the heroism of the soldiers and sailors who were involved in the fighting. But before the first landings were made, the concept of a strike at the Dardanelles seemed to offer a short cut to victory in a war without prospect of end. The venture, and what was required of the men undertaking it who were enduring heavy casualties, eminently deserve reconsideration in the centenary year of the campaign. What fuelled and what drained morale during the eight months of extraordinary human endeavour? A balanced evaluation of the Gallipoli gamble, and of the political and military leadership, are the challenging tasks which Peter Liddle sets himself in his new study of the campaign and the experience of the men who served in it.
Light the Fire Within You
Light within humans is often translated as enlightenment, understanding and/or truth. Light gives off warmth and the warmth of this light is love. It is love that breaks through darkness, fear, negativity, hatred, low self-esteem, anger, envy, greed, self doubt, uncertainty and poverty. These negative states prevent us from attaining trust, faith in oneself or in others. Fear paralyzes the mind and every cell in the body. It blocks the natural light and when this happens we feel isolated, abandoned and alone. The emotional states of uncertainty, doubt, distrust, worry, frustration, anxiety, anger, condemnation and fear, all prevent us from moving forward in life. This book demonstrates how we may rid ourselves of our rigid beliefs about life and the conditions we encounter.
Hoops Shadow
After the first day of tryouts for the school basketball team, Stu stays behind to shoot extra free throws--his weak spot. As he's shooting baskets, a boy joins him in the gym. He's wearing a retro jersey, and Stu doesn't recognize him. He tells Stu to come back later, and he'll give Stu tips. Stu returns, and the boy named Randy helps him with his shooting. Stu asks Randy when he went to school there, but the boy disappears. Stu discovers Randy is a ghost. Randy helps Stu make the basketball team, and Stu chooses to wear the ghost's number on his jersey.
Mom Milestones
Mom records her baby's milestones, but what about her own? Where is the celebration of mom's transformation? Beginning with one-day-old mom, who may feel like she is learning a new language, Mom Milestones is a love letter to the myriad ways moms grow and adapt to motherhood. Here are significant firsts: First sleepless night. First walk with baby. First mom friend. Skills learned—how to soothe baby (sometimes); how to coax a preschooler into taking medicine. Mom's likes (adapting pop songs to lullaby format; gathering intelligence from other moms) and dislikes (emptying the lunch box with mystery smells; requests for video games). There's Bedtime: The Board Game; crafts mom enjoys (no glitter or glue, thanks!); and the ABCs of motherhood (E for ennui). While there might not be a road map for motherhood, Mom Milestones tracks both the memorable and slightly forgettable guideposts along the way—sunrises, snack plates, cuddles, laughter, and astonishment—because, as the saying goes, the days are long, but the years are short.
Literary Retranslation in Context
The present study examines the interrelation between literary texts, their successive retranslations and the corresponding historical, social and cultural backgrounds that inform these versions. The book considers how translations of works may change over time and how this influences perceptions of the translated authors themselves.

Pulling No Punches
In this book I relate dozens of dramatic events from my own troubled youth to illustrate the willingness of a loving God to deliver us from the worst of circumstances. The solutions I offer for making a positive transition from a destructive past have worked for me for over 30 years. Pulling No Punches delivers a knock-out blow to the attitudes and choices that prevent us from conquering the evils that hold us in bondage. Whether you are just looking for an exciting story of gaining the victory over past mistakes, or searching for answers to the problems that are troubling you, I believe you will find this book to be challenging, informative and inspirational. I thank God for allowing me the privilege of sharing a part of my life with you. May the Master over all Creation bless you, as you read Pulling No Punches.
Within Or Without
Scott Ruff's studio, "Gullah/Geechee Institute," investigated architecture's role as a cultural signifier in the African-American Gullah-Geechee community off the South Carolina coast. It challenged students to translate cultural ideas into tectonic and spatial strategies for a monument, museum, and memorial that serves as a gateway to the Gullah-Geechee corridor, incorporating public interpretive and historical programs. In Florencia Pita and Jackilin Bloom's studio, "Easy Office," students experimented with ways of generating new spatial, formal, material, and narrative ideas through the processes of collecting, collaging, and casting everyday objects. The studio considered notions of the ...
