Sinopsis

A collection of tales that grew out of the sprawling flatlands, the oozing fjords, the dark forests and the waves that crash on the shores of Denmark.
How a Viking ship carried a future king into Roskilde Fjord, how a mermaid's laughter brought fortunes to her fisherman host, how the people of Lolland survived a flood with waves 3m high and how a princess found her freedom in becoming a prince.
Experience the history, landscapes, stories and fairy tales brought to life by a storyteller who called this country home for nearly sixty years.

    Suburban Policing: Cleveland Style is an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes journey through the eyes of a seasoned law enforcement officer who spent 25+ years as a Police Officer making his way through the ranks (Patrol Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Detective Bureau Commander, SWAT Team Commander, etc.,)—which culminated in serving his final eleven (11) years as a municipal Police Chief. With raw honesty, sharp insight, and moments of unexpected humor, this book offers a gripping look at what it truly means to wear the badge in one of America’s most challenging suburban environments. From high-speed pursuits and SWAT operations to life-altering auto accidents and unpredictable disturbances, this isn’t just another cop story—it’s a boots-on-the-ground memoir of dedication, danger, and deeply personal encounters with both tragedy and triumph. Drawn from decades of real-life experiences, these stories reflect the grit, compassion, and unwavering resolve of those who serve and protect. For anyone curious about what police officers really face day to day—and how a lifetime in law enforcement shapes a person—this book offers an authentic, unforgettable perspective.

    The Power of Dreams tells the story of a couple, already in their 40’s, who uprooted themselves from urban life to follow their dream of living in the wilderness. They settled in a remote mountain valley called Precipice Valley, part of the ancient trade route linking B.C.’s Chilcotin plateau to the Pacific Coast.Surrounded by mountain vastness they lived there for nearly three decades, much of it in near-total isolation. Their dreams sustained them while they carved out a lifestyle that was both rewarding and challenging.These are the stories of how the two of them designed and hand-built a solar-powered, two-storey post and beam house while learning to live off-grid and in harmony with nature. They share their experiences with you through vivid descriptions of the adventures, people, places and the ingenious solutions needed as they forged their Precipice lifestyle and explored the wild world of the west Chilcotin.These vignettes will give you a feeling for life in the wilderness and perhaps inspire you to fulfill your own wilderness dream, helping you find a path through these challenging times when new ideas and insights are so desperately needed.

    From Bicycle to Bentley - A...

    Stephen takes the reader from his earliest school days when it became clear he was academically bright, especially in math, attending prep school, winning a scholarship to major public school Uppingham where he won math prizes and, aged 16, passed 3 S (scholarship) levels. By then he had decided to be a bookie. He attended an interview for Cambridge University only because it was on his bicycle route to Newmarket races!
     
    
     
    Unable to work in any gambling job until 18, he set about visiting racecourses by bicycle, staying in youth hotels (17½p per night), eventually cycling to all racecourses in the UK, including several now-defunct courses.
     
    
     
    At 18 he found employment with Beresford & Smith in London; aged 24 he got his first bookie’s license in 1971 and by the age of 40 in 1986 was betting big on the rails at major meetings such as the Grand National, Cheltenham, Derby, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood, often laying bets to lose £100,000 or more - when money was worth nearly twice today’s value - one of the few bookies who happily stood "toe to toe and traded blow for blow" with big hitters like JP McManus, Barney Curley, Michael Tabor and Harry Findlay.
     
    
     
    In 1998 changes in pitch administration prompted early retirement, and he sold his pitches, worked for a few unsatisfactory years for Corals and then departed the big time - with a Bentley as well as a bicycle, a house in Georgian Bath and a satisfactory bank balance.
