John Lamb

Lamb tells the stories of an unusual collection of men who, by being aliens in a largely unwelcoming country, have been omitted from the historical narrative. More than a dozen of these medical practitioners arrived and contributed to the welfare of Australian communities during the hundred years prior to the dismantling of race-based immigration policies, and this book examines not only what they achieved, but the political, social, and economic context in which they operated and the prejudice with which they dealt. Through its forensic investigation of archival materials both in Japan and in Australia, as well as contact with descendants of the men, this study book throws unprecedented light on their trials and tribulations, and on the factors most important in determining acceptance and performance in a discriminatory environment. Moreover, through its many illustrations, explanations, and general narrative, it draws the reader into the personal lives of the doctors and what they faced. At the same time, its inclusion of detailed mortality and morbidity statistics, and their analysis in conjunction with population and economic parameters, will doubtless prove an important resource for medical historians. In its depth of research and access to relevant information in both countries and languages, this book contributes to Australia-Japan relations and understanding, and sets a new standard in cross-cultural research. A valuable resource for Australian and Japanese researchers and students of international immigration, medical history, the politics and character of racism, Asian Studies, and International Relations. Migrant narratives further enjoy broad international appeal in countries including Asia, the United States, and Europe.

Telegraph People celebrates the characters who produced a multi-edition evening newspaper in the large industrial Midlands city of Coventry across two decades. It reveals what went on behind the fa ade of the Coventry Evening Telegraph offices in Corporation Street. Read about the journalists who put this newspaper together - the dramas, the crises and the fun. This was before the digital revolution and... - Stories had to be by filed by phone - Reporters hammered out their words on typewriters - Breaking news from around the globe clattered into the office on tele-printers - The news was set in hot metal - Pages were torn up hourly to accommodate breaking news and great pictures - Copies were printed in their tens of thousands on giant, thundering presses - Vans roared all over the city and neighbouring towns, dropping off copies, including the Saturday night PINK sports edition - Tens of thousands of newspapers were delivered direct to homes These people arguably had the best job ever - journalism. Among them was a young man who embarked on an unlikely career in newspapers. This exclusive and true story is seen through the eyes of journalist JOHN LAMB, who gained an intimate insight into the Telegraph on three separate occasions - as office boy, deputy sports editor and assistant editor. He worked on the smallest and the largest newspapers in the UK, including the Kenilworth Weekly News, the Coventry Evening Telegraph (plus its PINK Saturday night sports edition), the Birmingham Evening Mail, the London Evening News, the News of the World, the Sun, the London Evening Standard and the Birmingham Post.

Playing drums is easy ... As long as you know what to do. Unfortunately, knowing what to do is the tricky part. It's easy to get lost along the way, distracted by things that won't move you forward, practicing things you already do well, or simply intimidated because you just don't know what you need to work on. This book will fix that. I've broken down what you need to know into about a dozen or so separate skills. Each chapter is a new skill, and the exercises are real songs that you can listen to and play along to. The songs get progressively complex. By working your way through this book, you'll end up being able to play songs like Kashmir by Led Zeppelin and Chameleon by the Headhunters with ease. The way the skills are broken down is a good start, but each skill is itself composed of different elements that you'll need to figure out if you are to master it. Deciphering the instructions, learning the physical movements required, using the skill in sequence, finding a flow, and getting your notes to mean something musically all require different mental tools. Unfortunately, the tools required for one part interfere with the effectively learning a different part. For example: "being in your head" is a disadvantage to performing well, but an advantage for figuring out the pattern in the first place. To fix this problem, I've included a method for learning them that I've developed over years of teaching, learning and my formal study of education, music and psychology. This method breaks down how to learn each skill into stages and how to approach mastering each stage. Along the way, you'll learn how to swing a groove, how to read a groove in staff notation, how to hear what you read in your head before you play, and gain some tools for both learning fast and playing musically.

This beautiful book is an exploration and celebration of modern Lancashire's unspoilt and lesser-known corners. Full of fascinating facts, figures and insights, complemented by many colour images, the book is written in an accessible and lively style and will delight anyone who has an interest in the natural history of our region.
