Press Pause

And turn challenges into opportunity

By: Stephen Macdonald

Life is full of transitions - some chosen, some unexpected, some forced upon us: a global pandemic, relationships starting and ending, the arrival of a new family member, children leaving home, stepping into a new job, redundancy, the loss of a loved one. However significant or mundane, such events all have one thing in common. They represent a moment for us to press pause, reflect on our reality, and make changes that will help us unlock our full potential and live a life of fulfilment and purpose. I have had the privilege of coaching clients across the globe - including senior business leaders and high performers - through times of change. Whether their 'press pause' moment has been work-related or personal, I have found that most people struggle to leverage the opportunity out of these transition points. By the time they come to me, they are often frustrated by their inability to break their old patterns and truly step into the life they are striving to lead. So I wrote this book - as a guide to navigating change. By dividing the process into clearly defined steps and posing a series of key questions, I want to offer a structured and mindful approach to the self-reflection we all go through during a life transition - something that can often feel confusing, frightening or challenging. Press Pause provides a clear and positive path to identifying what is important to you, so that you can prioritise those areas in your life that you wish to recalibrate. My aim is to help you overcome the obstacles that are preventing you from moving from one phase of life to the next, so that you can start living the life you want today.

War Stories

An Enlisted Marine in Vietnam

By: Stephen G. MacDonald

War Stories: An Enlisted Marine In Vietnam is a memoir of my two years in the United States Marine Corps. It tells what it was like to enlist in the Marine Corps and serve as a field radio operator with an infantry battalion. We operated near the southern edge of the DMZ in Vietnam in 1967, a time and place of intense fighting. It took forty years of writing and rewriting to distill that two years into this book, because it took that long for me to become this honest about my experience. I'm glad I didn't rush it, because none of the earlier versions were as good as this one. This book is not so much about military tactics, as it is about what it feels like to be a Marine. It might be of particular interest to young people considering enlistment in the Marine Corps, to Marine officers, both commissioned and non-commissioned, and to family members of Marines, but it is really written for everyone. Most of us believe that the world is less than ideal, and that there are people and countries out there from whom we need to defend ourselves. Marines and the Marine Corps are an important part of that defense. When we ask citizens to become Marines, to defend us, we owe it to them to try to understand what we are asking. This book can help. A common reaction of many early readers has been, "I had no idea it was like that.

Recent Mammals of Alaska

By: Joseph A. Cook,Stephen O. MacDonald

From the polar bear and the gray wolf to the walrus and river otter, there are 115 species of mammals in Alaska that have never been fully catalogued until now. Biologists Joseph A. Cook and Stephen O. MacDonald have compiled here the first comprehensive guide to all of Alaska’s mammals, big and small, endearing and ferocious. Through extensive fieldwork and research the authors have produced a unique and authoritative reference. Detailed entries for each species include distribution and taxonomic information, status, habitat, and fossil history. Appendices include quick reference listings of mammal distribution by region, specimen locations, conservation status, and the incidence of Pleistocene mammals. The guide is generously illustrated with line drawings by Alaskan artist W. D. Berry and includes several maps indicating populations and locations of species. Mammals of Alaska will be an accessible, easy to use source for scholars and hobbyists alike.

The 8th Ghost Story MEGAPACK®

25 Modern and Classic Ghost Stories

By: Talmage Powell,Phyllis Ann Karr,Stephen Wasylyk,Mary Elizabeth Counselman,Wallace West,Charlotte Brontë,H. G. Wells,Mary Elizabeth Braddon,J. Sheridan Le Fanu,Arthur Conan Doyle,George MacDonald

We love ghost stories here at Wildside Press—witness the fact that we have now now reached our eighth volume in this series. Very few other genres are so versatile and enduring as tales of the supernatural. Ghosts can (and have) appeared in literature for thousands of years, in all countries and continents (and times past, present, and future) throughout the world. But the Victorian era particularly seemed to embrace ghost stories, and that’s when Christmas ghost tales became not just a staple of literature, but a requirement. Seemingly all British fiction magazines (and many newspapers) had to publish at least one ghostly tale in the month of December. Proving that the ghost story tradition is strong to the present day, we have an original story from Phyllis Ann Karr (author of the Frostflower and Thorn series), plus two drawn from Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine (which strayed a little more into the fantastic and horrific in the 1960s that it does today), plus another modern story by Wallace West, who is best known as a science fiction writer. Good stuff. Here is the complete lineup: UNSEEN—UNFEARED, by Francis Stevens RUNNING WOLF, by Algernon Blackwood UNCLE CHRISTIAN’S INHERITANCE, by Erckmann-Chatrian MOMMY, by Mary Elizabeth Counselman A GHOST’S REVENGE, by Tighe Hopkins THE HAUNTED HOUSE, by George MacDonald THE THING IN THE UPPER ROOM, by Arthur Morrison DIE, GEORGE!, by Stephen Wasylyk HEINRICH, by Wallace West RESURGAM, by Rina Ramsay THE SPECTRE OF TAPPINGTON, by Thomas Ingoldsby THE INEXPERIENCED GHOST, by H. G. Wells THE SECOND MRS.

Sheridan Le Fanu THE OLD NURSE’S STORY by Mrs. Gaskell THE FOUR-FIFTEEN EXPRESS, by Amelia B. Edwards THE SECRET OF THE STRADIVARIUS, by Hugh Conway MR.

A Rage for Falcons

An Alliance Between Man and Bird

By: Stephen Bodio

Thus begins the tale by Stephen Bodio, a lover of birds and nature, of the incredible connection between man and birds of prey. Falconry can be traced back over four thousand years and, as Bodio says, “it is amazing that the practice did not die out soon afterward when its first adherents starved.” With a new introduction by Helen MacDonald, A Rage For Falcons not only shares the history of falconry, but shows the personal side in a way only Bodio can share. With masterful prose and breathtaking imagery, you not only understand how falconry has lasted, but why. As Bodio so appropriately notes in his introduction: “To understand falconry, you must understand the nature of the relationship between man and bird.” In A Rage For Falcons, Bodio explores this incredible relationship and how it has affected him as a person. Never has such a personal touch been put on a sport that has lasted generations, which many people still do not have a grasp of. That’s what makes Bodio so great. While his words may not convince you to take up the sport, will certainly open your eyes to appreciate a world unlike any other.

Angus L. Macdonald

A Provincial Liberal

Angus L. Macdonald

A Provincial Liberal

By: T. Stephen Henderson

Perhaps one of the most influential Canadian premiers of the Twentieth Century and one of the leading political intellectuals of his generation, Angus L. Macdonald dominated politics in Nova Scotia for more than twenty years, serving as premier from 1933 to 1940 and again from 1945 until his death in 1954. One rival referred to him as "the pope" out of respect for his political infallibility. From 1940 to 1945 Macdonald guided Canada's war effort at sea as Minister of National Defence for Naval Services; under his watch, the Royal Canadian Navy expanded faster than any other navy in the world. This new work by T. Stephen Henderson is the first academic biography of Macdonald, whose life provides a framework for the study of Canada's pre- and post-war transformation, and a rare opportunity to compare the political history of the two periods. Generally, Macdonald's political thinking reflected a progressive, interwar liberalism that found its clearest expression in the 1940 Rowell-Sirois report on federal-provincial relations. The report proposed a redistribution of responsibilities and resources that would allow poorer provinces greater autonomy and reduce overlapping jurisdictions in the federal system. Ottawa abandoned Rowell-Sirois in the postwar period, and Macdonald fell out of step with the national Liberal party that he had once seemed destined to lead. Within Nova Scotia, however, his ardent defence of provincial powers and his commitment to building a modern infrastructure enabled him to win election after election and transform the face and identity of his province.

Modelling Mortality with Actuarial Applications

By: Angus S. Macdonald,Stephen J. Richards,Iain D. Currie

Actuaries have access to a wealth of individual data in pension and insurance portfolios, but rarely use its full potential. This book will pave the way, from methods using aggregate counts to modern developments in survival analysis. Based on the fundamental concept of the hazard rate, Part I shows how and why to build statistical models, based on data at the level of the individual persons in a pension scheme or life insurance portfolio. Extensive use is made of the R statistics package. Smooth models, including regression and spline models in one and two dimensions, are covered in depth in Part II. Finally, Part III uses multiple-state models to extend survival models beyond the simple life/death setting, and includes a brief introduction to the modern counting process approach. Practising actuaries will find this book indispensable, and students will find it helpful when preparing for their professional examinations.
