Falling Between the Notes

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In the grand symphony of life, we are all instruments, playing our unique melodies and rhythms to create a beautiful and complex composition. Some of us are violins, soaring high with our passionate solos. Others are drums, providing a steady beat that keeps the rhythm going. And still others are flutes, adding a touch of sweetness and grace to the overall sound.

Whatever our instrument, we all have a role to play in the symphony of life. We each have our own unique talents and abilities that we can use to contribute to the overall harmony. When we use our gifts wisely, we create something truly special.

But the symphony of life is not always easy. There will be times when the music is harsh and dissonant, and times when it is soft and soothing. There will be times when we feel like we are lost in the chaos, and times when we feel like we are part of something truly special. But through it all, we must never give up. We must keep playing our music, even when it is difficult.

Because the symphony of life is worth it. It is worth the struggle, the pain, and the heartache. It is worth the joy, the love, and the laughter. It is worth it all.

This book is an exploration of the symphony of life. It is a journey through the joys and sorrows, the triumphs and failures, the hopes and dreams that make up our human experience. It is a celebration of the beauty and the power of life, and a reminder that we are all connected in this grand symphony.

So join us on this journey, and let the music of life fill your soul.

All at Sea - A Memoir

Alan Loynd

All at Sea describes the career of a ship captain and salvage master from the time when he joined his first vessel to his present status as a marine consultant in Hong Kong. He writes of the remarkable changes he has seen and experienced in a career which has spanned more than half a century. By turns amusing and thought-provoking, this is an enjoyable tale of a most interesting life.
"[Alan] has done readers a service by putting on record so many of his experiences in such a charming & accessible manner. ... those who are interested in recent maritime practice should ... find within its pages much to intrigue & delight them. / Alan Loynd joined the Swire Group in 1976, and worked for businesses within it for most of thirty years.... it is both an honour and a pleasure to commend this volume to almost any curious & enthusiastic reader.”—Barnaby Swire. Chairman, the Swire Group
"A well thought through, beautifully written account of an interesting life.... I honestly could not put this down! Alan writes exceptionally well, with a delightful turn of phrase and a nice dry wit. His shrewd and sympathetic insights into the people of southern China are a particular pleasure. You pick up this book expecting a seafarer’s memoir - Devon schoolboy to CEO - and you get a handbook to modern Hong Kong, a bonus sketch of the Queen and Prince Philip visiting the tiny and remote island nation of Tuvalu, and an insight into modern salvage techniques.... Highly recommended."—Andrew Craig-Bennett, Amazon UK, 29 July 2021.
"A riveting read.... This is a quite exceptional account of a life at sea, covering a vast range of roles and adventures. It is beautifully written, and Alan Loynd’s (very) dry sense of humour shines through it all. I am a compulsive reader of mariners’ memoirs, and this is one of the very best."
—Killick, Amazon UK, 7 July 2021.

Finding Francis - One Family's...

Elizabeth J. West

Finding Francis, finding family, freeing history 
 
 
 
Francis is found. Beyond Francis, a family is found—in archival material that barely deigned to notice their existence. This is the story of Francis Sistrunk and her children, from enslavement into forced migration across South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. It spans decades before the Civil War and continues into post-emancipation America. A family story full of twists and turns, Finding Francis reclaims and honors those women who played an essential role in the historical survival and triumph of Black people during and after American slavery. 
 
 
 
Elizabeth West has created a remarkable "biohistoriography" of everyday Black resistance, grounded in a determination to maintain enduring connections of family, kinship, and community despite the inhumanity and rapacity of slavery. There is inevitable heartbreak in these histories, but there is also an empowering strength and inspiration—the truth of these lives will indeed set us all free.

Policy Making - A Comprehensive...

Kevin Thorley

Policy making is a crucial aspect of governance that directly influences the well-being of citizens and the development of a nation. It is designed to promote the general welfare of the population, addressing issues such as health, education, and public safety to ensure that the needs of citizens are met. Economic policies play a significant role in managing the economy by promoting growth, reducing unemployment, and controlling inflation, which leads to a more stable and prosperous society. 
  
Moreover, policy making is essential for reducing social inequalities by providing support to disadvantaged groups through measures related to housing, social security, and anti-discrimination. Environmental policies are also vital for the sustainable management of natural resources and the protection of ecosystems, addressing issues such as climate change, pollution, and conservation. In terms of national security, policies related to defense, immigration, and foreign relations are critical for maintaining security and protecting the country from external threats. 
  
Policy making also encourages innovation and progress by funding research and development, supporting new technologies, and creating a favorable environment for entrepreneurship. It provides a framework for regulation and oversight, ensuring that industries operate fairly and safely, covering areas such as financial regulations, consumer protection laws, and labor standards. Additionally, the policy-making process allows for public participation and democratic governance, giving citizens a voice in how they are governed and ensuring their interests are represented.
