Sport in the Fields and Woods - An anthology compiled by Rebecca Welshman

Richard Jefferies

Summary

Highly acclaimed author and naturalist Richard Jefferies (1848-1887) made his living writing about the countryside in which he lived. 

He made his name through his newspaper columns about the countryside and rural life, and achieved the peak of his fame as author of The Gamekeeper at Home and The Amateur Poacher.

His love of nature and wildlife was nurtured by his father who taught him much about the life of the fields and woods.

Jefferies' own remarkable powers of observation infuse his writing on the habits and habitat of his quarry, the techniques of fieldsports and the enjoyment of outdoor pursuits.

These sporting articles are collected here for the first time in a new anthology.

My Stir-fried Life

Ken Hom

As a boy, Ken Hom lived hand-to-mouth in the slums of Chicago's Chinatown. Today, he is one of the most celebrated TV chefs of all time, the man who showed the British how to cook Asian food and introduced the nation to the wok.
This is the story of that remarkable journey.
Aged just eight months when his father died, Ken was raised by his mother in an atmosphere of punishing poverty. But no matter how little they had, they ate well. Life would change when, at the age of eleven, Ken landed a job in his uncle's Chinese restaurant. From these humble beginnings, he travelled the globe and went on to become one of the world's greatest authorities on Asian food. His wildly popular books have inspired millions of home cooks, and he paved the way for a generation of celebrity chefs.
High-spirited and frequently funny, My Stir-Fried Life is the epicurean's epic - a gastronomic narrative that lifts the spirits, tantalises the taste buds and feeds the soul of anyone and everyone who loves cooking, from the keen novice to the accomplished connoisseur.

Rusty Wren had found some strange tracks. And nobody knew whose they were.Now, when they were puzzled like that the field- and forest-folk usually went straight to Mr. Crow for advice. But this time it happened that the old gentleman had gone on an excursion to the further side of Blue Mountain, where Brownie Beaver lived. And there seemed to be no one else at hand who was likely to be able to explain the mystery. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/21426

Incredibly True Story of...

Captain Bossman, Josip Listes,...

This is a rhymed story is about Captain Bossman's personal branding adventure and how your CV or resume writing can be turned into a cult classic! It's all about how you frame the narrative...
What's the story with these statues?
At first glance these statuesque creations look like characters from a superhero academy, but they're a part of our gender-ethnic-religious neutral metaphor universe. It's a story about our protagonist Captain Bossman, the ultimate mentor, a statue from the Hall of heroes, a memento-vivere and a zeitgeist of times gone by. This fictional character with a rich story to match an even richer personality has seen it all. Although being drawn as a masculine anthropomorphic statue, our character's main values endorse a universally inclusive prosocial approach towards humanizing work in the modern era.
Is it a personal branding book? Well, yes and no. It's about the different hats we wear on our jobs, sometimes working multiple positions without acknowledging how valuable and difficult that is. We use the example of Captain Bossman wearing the mentor's hat across different jobs, to showcase just how important it is to emphasize your qualities to gain workplace appreciation. The art is in doing it without overdoing it and turning to overselling to gain some appreciation of your skills.
Where's the lesson?
We use the "many hats of Captain Bossman" metaphor as an example of viewing yourself as a human brand both online and offline. If you're a human brand, then every professional workplace experience is a chance to showcase some of your qualities, right? Different qualities you emphasize in different positions across different industries help tell the story of your professional life. A narrative that is interesting and worthy of everyone's time, teaching us a bit about the human experience.
