During the 1st World War, thousands of captured Allied combatants were dispatched to neutral countries to await the end of the conflict. Their stories are seldom told. English-born Canadian soldier Kenneth Foyster was one of them. He fought at Ypres in 1915, was wounded, captured, imprisoned then found himself interned in the mountains of Switzerland. After the war, he penned an extensive memoir describing in vivid detail all these successive experiences.British author Mike Richardson has taken this account and put it into the context of contemporary world events. The result is a fascinating insight into one man's military adventures; from the woods of British Columbia, to the intensity of the battlefield, and on to the snowy highlands of the Alps.

Success is not about reaching the summit, but about having the strength to do what is right for you.Rod Wood is not your typical mountaineer. Working as a farm vet all his life, he suffered from depression and found himself deeply dissatisfied with day-to-day living. So he decided to do something about it and set off to fulfil his boyhood dream of climbing Kilimanjaro. He came down a completely changed man.In Kenya: A Mountain to Climb we join Rod five years later, after overcoming depression, on a second life-changing adventure to Kenya - a journey which would change him more profoundly than he'd ever imagined.Thoughtfully written in Rod's inimitable style, this book recounts his travels through this stunningly beautiful yet troubled country, his encounters with the magnificent Kenyan wildlife, and his attempt to climb Mount Kenya. Along the way, Rod discovers that the mountain pales in comparison to the political and environmental obstacles the country itself must overcome, and this gives him the perspective to recognise the things that really matter.This book teaches us that climbing mountains is not a depression cure, but that doing the things you aspire to do, even if you don't succeed, can be one of the best natural ways to treat depression and help you to rediscover the things in life that make you truly happy.A perfect read for trekkers, outdoor enthusiasts and those with their own mountains to climb...Reviews'... offers a vivid and fascinating insight into Kenya, not only in terms of the author's travels but also looking at the country and its people within a wider context of politics and climate change. I thought it was a very interesting commentary on the country and went beyond the confines of a simple travel recollection.'Jenny D - London

Born in Wolverhampton, author's Paul (left) and David (right) Fullwood are cousins and family historians. After both attending St Peter's School in Wolverhampton, Paul worked for several Government Departments and David attended Wolverhampton Art College before working for an international public limited company.John Fullwood's story begins with an overview of the Victorian Wolverhampton where he grew up and his training as an artist. His move to Birmingham, initially to work in the jewellery trade, led to his emergence as an artist after he attended Birmingham Art School. He became an influential figure in three of that city's artistic institutions and was subsequently elected a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists. Before he left the city he illustrated 'Remnants of Old Wolverhampton and its Environs', the work for which he is probably best known in his home town.This book explores his overlooked role in founding of the Newlyn Art Colony alongside Walter Langley and others and his stay in Paris as he developed his style. On his return to England he stayed in Sussex to explore his fascination with the natural world, reflected in his membership of natural history societies, matching the Victorian taste for landscape and nature and led to his popular success.In Paris he met an influential American art dealer, leading to promotion and sales across the Atlantic, seemingly setting him up for reward and recognition as he moved to live in London and his work was accepted by the Royal Academy. However, family connections with Australia led to a misjudged investment and his final years were troubled by ill health.Because of his achievements he was awarded a Civil List Pension by the Government in 1905 and after the First World War he was still sufficiently recognised to be asked to contribute a miniature painting to hang in the Queen Mary's Dolls House, still on display in Windsor Castle. He died, in London, in 1931.This book brings previously unknown detail to the story of John Fullwood and attempts to place him back into the public consciousness.

My life a roller coaster is on the path difficult as months go by I notice brighter changes in the life that is forward to look at it each day throughout the year.A difficult decision to make in writing my poems for the "Inspiration Of Mine" to take the road of a Roller Coaster.

My name is Norman Lawrence Rowlston, and the following poems represent my thoughts and ideas on all that has happened to me over the last 30 years.After a considerable period of illness, which culminated in a heart transplant in 1996, I decided to try my hand at writing. Some 20 or more of the poems have been published by companies in the USA and in the UK. In America, the main publisher of my works is the International Society of Poets, and in the UK the main one is United Press.Several of my poems are reflections of time spent on the way to and in hospital at certain times; the main one of these is an ode of tribute to the nursing staff, and that is the one entitled Angels of the Night. Although not a sufferer of Alzheimer's disease, I was asked to produce a couple of poems for publishing in their newsletters, including Unseen Images. Marching was written to show support for the Rural Life Association.Justice was in answer to the letting off of a Judge without any response after he had committed a crime. A Dying Breed was a cry from the heart after the butchery of the mining industry by Margaret Thatcher. This was dear to my heart as I have lived most of my life in a heavily endowed mining area, now defunct. I also worked down the pit on two periods. Love is a tribute to my wife of 37 years, Joan, whilst A Prayer to Love was written specifically for the wedding of one of my step grandchildren. The poem was read out during the church service by my eldest grandson. Graduation was written to show my pride in my son and daughter on graduating from University. 9/11 was the idea behind Pray for America. This was published in some newspapers in both America and Hawaii. There are a few poems which may sound strange to your ears, but they are literally correct as they have been written in Yorkshire dialect, a mode I intend to do more in. Nonsense poetry is included with two of the ones I wrote for a children's magazine, and they are Snow and The Obligatatum. The Tramp is based on a true story from this area. All the artwork contained in this booklet has been produced by my wife, Joan Rowlston. Please read and enjoy; half of the joy of writing is knowing that someone else is also getting pleasure from your efforts.
