Two Suitcases

Colonialism Crumbles

By: Mike Bellis

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

European settlers in colonial Africa did not have an easy time, depending on what they came with. Theirs was a life of adventure, hardship, homesickness, disease and sometimes, war. The title is Two Suitcases because that is what most Europeans arrived in Africa with, and subsequently left with. Two Suitcases; Colonialism Crumbles, tells the stories of two normal families with different aspirations, beliefs and backgrounds, one family being British and one being Afrikaans, and their experiences in Southern Africa. The story covers the Boer War to settling in Rhodesia, through the First World War and the hardships of the Great Depression followed by the Second World War. And then, Ian Smith signs Rhodesias Unilateral Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Much of the Two Suitcases trilogy has been inspired by three great writers, Wilbur Smith, James Mitchener and Stuart Cloete. Watch out for Two Suitcases Part Two; The Leap into Uncertainty, covering Rhodesias UDI and Bush War years, followed by Two Suitcases - Part Three; Descent into Darkness, covering the birth of Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe to the present day.

Murder Mile

By: Mike Mulloy

Life was cheap in the Toxteth and Wavertree districts of Liverpool, and more murders were committed there than in any other part of the city; and so this tough inner-city area became known as Murder Mile. Rising to the rank of Detective Chief Inspector, and becoming the most commended officer in the history of the force, Mike Mulloy had the job of investigating a series of high-profile cases over the years involving murder, arson, rape, armed robbery, drug dealing, burglary and bombing. He and his colleagues witnessed the most appalling brutality and violence where neither age nor sex provided any defence - young children, women and old people were constantly vulnerable.MURDER MILE is a fascinating and engaging addition to the literature of True Crime, written by a man who put his life on the line in the defence of the public and who saw it all at first-hand.

I, Superhero!! :

We Wear Tights So You Won't Have To

By: Mike McMullen

Evildoers, Take Heed! Justice has a new face, and it wears a mask. Who are we talking about? Ordinary folk like Mike McMullen, a.k.a. The Amazing Whitebread, who become something entirely new and occasionally borderline pathological: Real-Life Superheroes (RLSHs). "Being a singing superheroine is a way for me to not only pay the bills, it also helps me give the baddies such a headache." --Danger Woman Complete with costumes and all the gadgetry they can afford from selling old copies of Action Comics on eBay, RLSHs dish out their own brand of justice--while criminals go about their business and law enforcers roll their eyes. "Me and Shadowhare were walking past a bank and we stopped to make a phone call. As soon as we started walking away, the police came up and said, 'Do you know why we stopped you? Because you guys are wearing masks standing in front of a bank.'" --Mr. Xtreme McMullen spans the country, coach class, seeking to develop his own RLSH identity and address such weighty issues as: Sidekicks: Faithful wards or CPS bait? Bad Guys: Where the hell are they all hiding? Super-tights: How snug is too snug? So don your mask, suck in your gut, and join us. "Hey, you're with a superhero. . .what could go wrong?" --Geist, the Emerald Cowboy Michael McMullen, a.k.a. The Amazing Whitebread, was born in Wichita Falls, Texas. He earned an undergraduate degree in history and philosophy, and subsequently took the only employment option open to someone with the resultant lack of marketable skills: government service. He's worked as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. Department of Justice for just over a decade and currently lives in Arlington, Texas, with his wife, Lauren, and their children, Grant and Gracie. His hobbies include aspiring to get some woodworking done, thinking about learning a musical instrument, and trying to get interested in any computer game other than Text Twist. He has had short pieces published in various science fiction/fantasy magazines and currently holds the record for "Worst-Kept Secret Identity.

Apocalypse Then

American and Japanese Atomic Cinema, 1951-1967

By: Mike Bogue

The United States, the only country to have dropped the bomb, and Japan, the only one to have suffered its devastation, understandably portray the nuclear threat differently on film. American science fiction movies of the 1950s and 1960s generally proclaim that it is possible to put the nuclear genie back in the bottle. Japanese films of the same period assert that once freed the nuclear genie can never again be imprisoned. This book examines genre films from the two countries released between 1951 and 1967--including Godzilla (1954), The Mysterians (1957), The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957), On the Beach (1959), The Last War (1961) and Dr. Strangelove (1964)--to show the view from both sides of the Pacific.

Adolescent Neglect

Research, Policy and Practice

By: Gwyther Rees,Leslie Hicks,Mike Stein,Sarah Gorin

Adolescent neglect is a significant problem within child protection, but focus on child neglect and other forms of maltreatment means that it can often be overlooked. This book outlines how adolescent neglect differs from child neglect, the context of why it is overlooked, how it is defined, the causes and consequences of neglect, young people's views, and what professionals can do. Based on original research, the book establishes an evidence base and considers the implications for policy and practice. The concluding chapter sets out a practice-based framework for recognizing and working with adolescent neglect. Each chapter includes reflection points to stimulate thinking on key issues. This will be essential reading for all those who work with young people, particularly those in social work, health services and education, as well as academics, policymakers and students in these fields.

A Dose of Positivity

Tools, Techniques, and Strategies to Live Life on Your Terms

By: Mike Diamond

Life coach and television personality Mike Diamond explains his tried-and-true methods for empowerment and offers tools and stories to help you find your purpose and create your ideal future. Mike Diamond got off to a bit of a rough start in life—battling undiagnosed dyslexia, exposure to drugs and alcohol at age 12, and struggling to finish high school. A stroke of luck, however, earned him a Green Card in 1997, and he moved to the States, where he landed acting roles and built a career in entertainment, appearing on Miami Ink and NY Ink, and later directing, producing, and starring in Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew. Despite this initial stream of success, however, Mike found himself spiritually bankrupt and thoroughly miserable. Realizing his life depended on it, in 2006 Mike decided to get sober and, with his life completely turned around, has now helped hundreds of people on their own paths to recovery. In A Dose of Positivity, Mike shares not only his own incredible stories of overcoming hardship, but also reveals his personally tested techniques for staying grounded, finding success, and creating positive change. This book provides concrete tips on how to lean on and trust your Source—the spiritual energy and intuition within you—to maintain the flexible attitude necessary for your success. No matter what obstacles you face, a properly cultivated mindset can make all the difference. With A Dose of Positivity, unlock your potential and discover how to make your dreams a reality—with guidance from someone who’s personally tested everything he recommends.

Black History

More Than Just a Month

By: Mike Henry

Over the years, history has become the forgotten child of the academic household. Only recently has it been brought to our attention that our students don't know even basic American history. In June 2011, results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress showed that U.S. students were less proficient in American history than any other subject. Teachers need to make learning American history fun and stop teaching to the test. Some of the most interesting people and events of the past are often bypassed in the classroom. This includes a large number of African-Americans who helped build this country. Black History: More than Just a Month pays tribute to these forgotten individuals and their accomplishments. There are many individuals who have changed our history and, even if they don't make it onto the state test, their accomplishments deserve attention. Some of the people included are war heroes, inventors, celebrities, and athletes. This book is great for history buffs and will be a good supplement to any history class. Book jacket.

Unfinished Lives

By: Mike Antonaccio

Tony Allante grows up in the citys poolrooms, learning the language and behavior that make him cool and one of the guys. Mixing with his friends, he is able to become one of them while hiding the fear of having to fight to protect himself, the fear of knowing hes a chicken. As he completes high school and enters college, his desires for moving up sociallymarrying the right kind of girl, becoming a physician, earning enormous sums of money, moving out of the neighborhoodmake him realize that he must forsake his unsophisticated boyhood friends and blighted neighborhood, without getting hurt in the process. But not before he gets what he wants from them. Tony and his friends found The Phillipo Athletic and Social Club which is, in reality, an excuse for legally establishing a place to sell liquor and attract women. It is wildly successful, the club being filled every weekend with the loud, driving beat of their music, young women with the easy sexual mores of the late 60s, heavy drinking that seems a part of most young people growing up, and a desire to have a good time while the getting is good. Tony takes full advantage of the situation, drinking with the best of them and making it with as many women as he could during the summer before he goes off to college again to pursue his goal of becoming a physician and, ultimately, breaking his relationships with his past. But Tonys goals are confused after he meets Jill, a beautiful young woman who, though she doesnt meet his standards for the wife hed planned, tests Tonys blueprint and decisions for his future. Unwillingly and unwittingly, Tony finds himself falling hard and fast for Jill and even throws over Joanne for her, an act which has serious and unanticipated consequencesincluding murder and his being an unwitting causative factor in her own and a friends death. Tonys life doesnt work out the way hed planned. He doesnt marry the girl of his dreams, doesnt become wealthy, is unhappy in his work, and then, after 17 years, Jill calls him from out of the blue. What does it all mean for Tony? What should he do? What will he do? Is this a chance to redeem himself and his mediocre life? This is a story of young men and their women, healthy and full of life and its promises, of youthful sex and dreams, of the excesses committed while growing up and, finally, of how being untrue to yourself and others can ruin lives.

Voices from the Shoreline

The Ancient and Ingenious Traditions of Coastal Fishing

By: Mike Smylie

For generations, coastal fishermen, working at the very fringe between land and sea, have fished salmon and herring using methods passed down from father to son. Some of these ancient traditions have been traced back as far as the days when the men from Scandinavia colonised these lands in the eighth and ninth centuries; others are simply nineteenth century in origin. Sadly, in recent years stocks have dwindled and regulations limit local fishing practices. Today, some surviving methods, such as haaf-netting, are in danger of dying out, whilst other traditional fisheries now lie abandoned. Though herring stocks have recovered from their late twentieth-century decline, the Atlantic salmon is now under immense threat and more danger of extinction than ever before. Tracing and describing his own journey from North Devon, through Wales and up to the top of Scotland, along with interviews with many fishermen, both retired and working, Mike Smylie explores the social history of these indigenous fishing traditions and communities, presenting a picture of their lives, past, present and future.

One Thousand Shades of Green

A Year in Search of Britain's Wild Plants

By: Mike Dilger

A cracking read.' IOLO WILLIAMS 'What an incredible achievement!' ALISON STEADMAN 'An inspirational odyssey.' NICK BAKER 'Immediately accessible.' BBC COUNTRYFILE - Mike Dilger's nationwide quest to find 1,000 wild plant species in a single year. For most of 2020, Mike Dilger's day-job of travelling to the four corners of the British Isles all but disappeared. Having been confined to one place by the Covid pandemic, and with daily dog walks his sole permitted outdoor pursuit, the simple pleasure of getting to know the flowers at his feet reignited a long-buried botanical passion. Now Mike is on a mission: to see a thousand different wild plants in one calendar year, and assess how our fascinating flora is faring in modern Britain. From Cornwall to Kent and Breckland to the Scottish Highlands, Mike meets the resilient reserve wardens and courageous conservationists tasked with protecting some of the nation's richest botanical sites, and experiences first-hand the many difficulties associated with saving our rarest and most charismatic plants. Taking in city centres, mountain tops and every conceivable habitat in between, One Thousand Shades of Green is a manifesto on how to love and conserve our green and pleasant land, and celebrates the beauty and diversity of the nation's plants.

Two Suitcases

The Leap into Uncertainty

By: Mike Bellis

European settlers in colonial Africa did not have an easy time, depending on what they came with. Theirs was a life of adventure, hardship, homesickness, disease and sometimes, war. The title is Two Suitcases because that is what most Europeans arrived in Africa with, and subsequently left with. From Rhodesias Unilateral Declaration of Independence to the birth of Mugabes Zimbabwe, Two Suitcases - Part Two; The Leap into Uncertainty, Book Two of this compelling trilogy, continues with the tales and experiences of the Krugers and Morgans during Rhodesias UDI years, which were filled with incredible pride, happiness, sadness and tragedy. Maybe too much pride. Sanctions-busting became acknowledged business practice while the vicious Bush War became a way of life affecting everyone, from the soldier in uniform to the farmers wife fighting off a night time homestead attack. Rhodesians were proud to be Rhodesians. For the first time the unglamorous, but vital, part the District Commissioners and their staff played in the Bush War is told. The Two Suitcases trilogy has been inspired by authors such as Wilbur Smith, James Mitchener and Stuart Cloete. Have you read Two Suitcases Part One, Colonialism Crumbles, covering Rhodesias birth from the Boer War to UDI? Watch out for Two Suitcases - Part Three, Descent into Darkness, covering the birth of Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe to the present day.

Two Suitcases

Book Three: Descent into Darkness

By: Mike Bellis

It is 1980 and Rhodesias flag, proudly flown for fifteen years, no longer exists. In the wake of a cruel Bush War, Rhodesia has succumbed to Mugabes Black Nationalism. Whites are enjoying a fulfilling existence without any idea that Zimbabwe will soon descend into an abyss of corruption, incompetence, and mismanagement. The Morgans and Krugers are like all the other white Rhodesians carving out a new life in Zimbabwe. James and Suzette Morgan and their two children have moved onto Andriess farm, Slagters Nek, and are renovating it after its dereliction during the Bush War. Andries and Colleen have moved to Durban, South Africa, and are living off their payments from James. Gareth and Barbara have retired and are looking forward to relying on his comfortable, government pension for income. Eric and his new wife, Maisie, have put down roots in South Africa. But everything is about to change when Mugabe notices his popularity diminishing and sets off a chain of events with dire consequences that affects all of them. Two Suitcases: Descent in Darkness shares the compelling saga of two families as they attempt to move forward after the events of the Bush War lead to the founding of Zimbabwe.

In Search of Midnight

The Mike McGee Handbook of Awesome

By: Mike McGee

A distinctive and incomparable collection from "Mighty" Mike McGee, the class clown of spoken word and poetry slam's geek champion. This debut includes his most notable performance poems, stories, humorous anecdotes and how-to's. This handbook moves between serious love tomes, like "Open Letter to Neil Armstrong" and "Every Day," to his most irreverent and requested works, like "Puddin'" and "Like." A true road-dog, McGee travels with words and camera, many results of which are captured in this collection. The humor contained in these pages are a campfire on a lonely winter night, the poetry – a reason to shout about love.
