Bushell on the Rampage

The AUTOB of Gary Bushell

By: Garry Bushell

Most people will have heard of Garry Bushell; music journalist, controversial columnist, TV critic, author, singer and friend to the stars, but very few know much about the private man behind his outspoken public image. This book provides a fascinating insight into the life of someone who is equally at home in the company of celebrities and villains and is not afraid to dish the dirt on either, but it is also an honest and moving account of the personal tragedy and pain that has made Garry who he is. Perhaps best known for his award-winning column Bushell on the Box, during his long and colourful career Garry has been hailed as the Godfather of Oi, toured America with his punk band, appeared on over 2,000 television shows, penned a novel and even appeared in a gangster film. On a personal note he has dated page 3 girls, been fed heroin by Hanoi Rocks, befriended Benny Hill and Barbara Windsor, been investigated by M15, stalked by an obsessive fan, had knives thrown at him by Freddie Star and his eye-brows shaved off by Ozzy Osborne. He has also fathered six children and found happiness with country singer Leah McCaffrey. Garrys autobiography tells it as it is including all the highs and lows that have shaped his life to date. The book, which is full of anecdotes and humour, also provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at the world of print and television media you simply wont be able to put it down.

Face Down

By: Garry Bushell

Harry Tyler is living an unhappy life as a "dead man" following a failed MI5 conspiracy to kill him in Ireland. A right wing journalist in a popular paper is saying all the things his readers want to hear, laying blame for the country’s ills at the doors of immigration, the welfare state, scroungers, and spongers. But when the people he targets in his column wind up dead, a serial killer seems to be taking the law into his own hands. Harry Tyler is surviving on his wits in the North West of England until fate conspires to reunite him with villain and nemesis John Baker, known as Johnny Too, when Too is released from jail early as bait for the serial killer. The job could bring Harry back in from the cold, or leave him totally exposed and set up as the fall guy if things go wrong.The final installment of The Face trilogy is hard, sexy, and it rattles along like an HS2 freight train.

Two Faced

By: Garry Bushell

We first met undercover cop Harry Tyler in Garry Bushell's first novel, fast-moving London cops and gangsters tale The Face. Tyler is back again, doing what he does best - infiltrating the most dangerous gangs in the country. That means he's up against the nastiest drug-dealing, gun-toting, counterfeiting villains around. And then his ex-wife becomes involved when she is the victim of a brutal attack. It's not long before Harry decides to take the law into his own hands and administer some rough justice to those responsible. Two-Faced is a sensational sequel to a book which won great praise. The Independent called The Face "Extremely funny!", the Independent highlighted its "Outrageous opinions, scorching insults" and this is sure to repeat the success

Ghosts Within

Journeying Through PTSD

By: Garry Leech

What are the long-term psychological costs of violence and war? Journalist Garry Leech draws from his experiences as a war correspondent, his ongoing personal struggle with PTSD and the latest research on this mental illness to provide a powerful and vivid answer to this question. For thirteen years, Leech worked in Colombia’s rural conflict zones where he experienced combat, witnessed massacre sites and was held captive by armed groups. This raw account of his journey from war on the battlefield to an internal, psychological war at home illustrates how those who work with traumatized populations can themselves be impacted by trauma. Leech removes some of the stigmas, fears and ignorance related to PTSD in particular, and mental illness in general, by shedding light on a largely invisible illness that mostly manifests itself behind the closed doors of our homes. Ultimately, the book uses a journalist’s journey through PTSD to provide a message of hope for all those who suffer from this illness.

Behavior Modification

What It Is and How To Do It

By: Garry Martin,Joseph J. Pear

Behavior Modification: What It Is and How to Do It is a comprehensive, practical presentation of the principles of behavior modification and guidelines for their application. Appropriate for university students and for the general reader, it teaches forms of behavior modification ranging from helping children learn necessary life skills to training pets, to solving personal behavior problems. It teaches practical "how-to" skills, including: discerning long-term effects; designing, implementing, and evaluating behavioral programs; interpreting behavioral episodes; observing and recording behaviors; and recognizing instances of reinforcement, extinction, and punishment. Behavior Modification is ideal for courses in Behavior Modification, Applied Behavior Analysis, Behavior Therapy, the Psychology of Learning, and related areas; and for students and practitioners of various helping professions (such as clinical psychology, counselling, education, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychiatric nursing, psychiatry, social work, speech therapy, and sport psychology) who are concerned directly with enhancing various forms of behavior development. The material is presented in an interesting, readable format that assumes no prior knowledge of behavior modification or psychology. Specific cases and examples clarify issues and make the principles real. Guidelines throughout provide a ready source to use as a reference in applying the principles.Online resources, including an instructor’s manual, are available at www.routledge.com/9780815366546.

Southern Hoofprints

Southern Hoofprints

By: Garry Allison

One-part lively oral history, one-part meticulously researched encyclopaedia, and one-part wild ride, Southern Hoofprints colorfully conveys the story of horse racing in Southern Alberta. And in so doing, it also becomes a fascinating history of the region itself, from the late 1880s through to the present day. From racing’s rough, Wild West beginnings to the vast grandstands of modern times, this regional history of the Sport of Kings has been deeply researched and is delivered in a unique and engaging fashion. With wry humour and occasional pulse-throbbing drama, the reader is treated to an intimate perspective on family traditions of husband and wife owners, the dynasties of multi-generational riders, the spectators, and even the horses themselves. The chronicle of the rise of women riders from the trivialized ‘powder puff’ races to becoming power players on the track, and that of the First Nations people from the early days through to today, make this a completely inclusive history. It tells a distinctly Canadian story and its focus on the Southern Alberta region allows it to paint the picture in vivid detail. With its historical data enriched and enlivened through the human dimension of the oral histories, Southern Hoofprints entertainingly recounts horse-racing’s triumphs, tragedies, and continual reinvention.

Riff-Raff, Rebels & Rock Gods

An Extreme Memoir from the Golden Years of Rock

By: Garry Bushell

Riff-Raff, Rebels & Rock Gods chronicles the rise of the most exciting generation of British music and musicians the world has ever seen - before or since. In rapid succession came Ska, New Mod, anarcho-punk, Oi and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. A firestorm of incendiary music, created and performed by geniuses and madmen. What a time to be a music journalist! At the heart of this rock tsunami was SOUNDS magazine. And at the heart of SOUNDS was your narrator, Garry Bushell. Like his idols, Garry lived every day as if it was his last. Which it nearly was. Fed heroin in India by Hanoi Rocks . Going to chokey with the Angelic Upstarts. Getting his eyebrows shaved off by Ozzy Osbourne. All in a day's work for Garry. These were truly days of glory. The Specials. The Selecter. 2-Tone visionary Jerry Dammers. Garry was right there at ground zero. The Exploited. Twisted Sister. Rose Tattoo. Iron Maiden. A unique explosion of raw and exciting bands, giant characters and radical ideas. You'll meet them all. Riff-Raff, Rebels & Rock Gods is a brilliant new memoir from a leading rock journalist about the golden years of rock music: a unique moment when Rock Gods really did bestride the earth. Or thought they did.
