Mike Filey's Toronto Sketches, Books 1-3

By: Mike Filey

Mike Filey’s column "The Way We Were" first appeared in the Toronto Sunday Sun not long after the first edition of the paper hit the newsstands on September 16, 1973. Now, over four decades later, Filey’s column has enjoyed an uninterrupted stretch as one of the newspaper’s most popular features. In 1992 a number of his columns were reprinted in Toronto Sketches: "The Way We Were." Since then another ten volumes have been published. Each column looks at Toronto as it was and contributes to our understanding of how the city became what it is. Illustrated with photographs of the city’s people and places of the past, Toronto Sketches are nostalgic journeys for the long-time Torontonian and a voyage of discovery for the newcomer. This special bundle collects the first three of those volumes, packed with fascinating information about Toronto’s history. Includes Toronto Sketches More Toronto Sketches Toronto Sketches 3

Three Dads Walking

300 Miles of Hope

By: Tim Owen,Mike Palmer,Andy Airey

Truly heroic' Daniel Craig 'A completely brilliant thing, to benefit so many' Nicole Kidman 'Powerful and deeply moving' Andy Burnham 'An epic journey . . . will touch the hearts of people everywhere' Lou Macari *Foreword from Dan Walker* 'We were (and are) three ordinary dads who found ourselves in a desperate place we never expected to be, engulfed by pain and suffering beyond imagining, but who chose to push back, to not allow it to overwhelm us, to build something positive from the shattered pieces of our lives. We wanted to do something ... and this is what it became: Three Dads Walking.' These three dads would rather have never met. Strangers bound by grief, they joined together to save lives and became a national inspiration - one step at a time. This is their incredible journey. In memory of their young daughters - Sophie, Beth and Emily - who took their own lives, three dads set out on a 300-mile journey across the country, from the windswept Lakeland fells and Peak District dales to the open plains of the eastern Fens. Putting one foot in front of the other in spite of their pain, they capture the hearts of millions: laughing together, crying together, fighting to be heard. With each hill climbed and story shared, they begin to rediscover their faith in humanity and are inspired by the kindness of strangers across the land. Woven around personal diary entries and their own experiences of deep grief, this book, told in three distinct parts by each dad, grows into a beacon of hope for anyone struggling. Itʼs about the power of speaking out, of friendship, laughter and courage (and blisters). The three dads bear a heavy load, but they walk on for us all, finding light on the path after the darkest times. 'Awe-inspiring' Carol Vorderman

Revolutionary Times

Ireland 1913-23: The Forging of a Nation

By: Mike Cronin,Mark Duncan

Ireland during the period 1913–1923 was a nation in constant flux. Spanning a pivotal era marked by the Dublin Lockout, the Easter Rising, the War of Independence and the birth of the Irish Free State, Revolutionary Times captures the full complexity of this transformative decade through contemporary-style reportage, timelines of key events and insightful essays. Emanating from the acclaimed RTÉ project, Century Ireland, and distilling its essence into a captivating print form, Revolutionary Times is meticulously researched yet accessibly written and beautifully presented. Alongside the political upheaval, the book also delves into the everyday realities of Irish life during this volatile chapter – from sports and fashion to housing debates and extreme weather. Offering a rich, nuanced portrait of a nation on the brink of a new dawn, this is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the tumultuous forces that shaped modern Ireland.

More Sex, Better Zen, Faster Bullets

The Encyclopedia of Hong Kong Film

By: Stefan Hammond,Mike Wilkins

How and why did films from Hong Kong — a former British Crown Colony and map-speck — become so popular? Post-WWII, creative freedom was scarce in Asia, but Hong Kong was a safe space for filmmakers seeking to profit from overseas Chinese markets and Chinatowns worldwide. Both Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest set up massive operations in Hong Kong and let the celluloid slip. By the 1980s, Hong Kong's Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan were famous throughout Asia. Their winning formula of humour and martial arts prowess ripped through kung fu stereotypes, while filmmakers like Tsui Hark and Ringo Lam served up fantasy, horror and noir crime dramas for rabid cinemagoing hordes in the grindhouses of Kowloon. It was a glorious time. This book is the nonpareil true story of the Hong Kong film industry, one that doesn’t skimp on the good bits: the hyperkinetic films themselves. Included are intrepid firsthand accounts of the culture and international fanbases to have emerged around these movies. More Sex, Better Zen, Faster Bullets contains the best bits of Sex and Zen & A Bullet in the Head (1996) and Hollywood East (2000) — the two best known tomes on Hong Kong films of the twentieth century — revised and with the inclusion of new material. The result is the most comprehensive encyclopedia of Hong Kong film available anywhere.

‘Me Glasses Bust Again, Sir!’

By: Mike Kent

Shortly before Mike Kent retired after thirty years as a London headteacher, the visiting educational psychologist attached to his school sat chuckling helplessly over a coffee as Mike related tales of school life. ‘You know, people would never believe what your job involves,’ he said. ‘You should keep a diary for a year and turn it into a book.’ Mike thought that was a great idea… and here it is. Read about Emma who wasn’t, the invisible plumbers, Eddie the Terror, the Vicar’s Rolo, Samesh’s spectacles, the shoe in the fence, Joseph and the eels, the lift that wouldn’t, staffroom secrets, serious pigeons, the diplodocus, persistent salesmen, the mums up for a scrap, and a host of other jaw-dropping tales… all in the line of duty!

I Was A Teenage Treacle Tin

By: Mike Kent

In I Was A Teenage Treacle Tin, Mike looks back to his childhood and growing up in 1950s London. It was a time of innocence and trust, when parents didn’t worry where their children were or what they were doing as long as they turned up for their tea. Here are the events, situations and characters he encountered during a crowded childhood. His growing fascination with cinema after he’d received a toy projector for Christmas, his traumatic stay in hospital having his tonsils removed, the dentist who cared little about children and terrified him, the teachers who bored him rigid at secondary school, and his thoroughly enjoyable misadventures camping with the Boy Scouts. He also describes his halcyon holidays with his parents in Kent, injuring himself with his home-made fireworks, starting his great love of music with a temperamental wind-up gramophone and the bitter sweetness of first love. With nostalgia and great affection, Mike looks back at a child’s world that can only be imagined today.

Open Mike

By: Mike Hill

Who is Mike Hill? For 49 years, he attempted to answer the question, to no avail. Hill was known to the world as the polished, versatile talent with multi-decade broadcast experience. After joining ESPN in 2004, Hill made a name for himself at the network, beginning at the highlight desk for ESPN News and later transitioning to some of the carrier's highest-priority programming, appearing as a host on SportsCenter, NFL Live, Baseball Tonight and NBA Tonight among others. In August of 2013, Hill joined FOX Sports. The embodiment of professionalism, Hill appeared to be living the American Dream; however, his private, internal struggles were taking a toll on his ability to live and to love.Eventually, the mounting trauma resulting from childhood memories of witnessing his mother victimized by domestic violence, a lack of proper male tutelage, discovering that his stepfather was a murder for hire, and the demise of two marriages, forced Hill to his breaking point. Amidst a silent cry for help and a quest to heal from within, forced him to pick up his pen to chronicle the most prolific moments of his life.

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.
