The seeds of success are planted within you—just waiting to break through and grow . . . This is a self-help book with a difference. It contains no promises of financial success in twenty-four hours, no mystical secret buried within its pages. In this book, the emphasis is on “self”—because it’s within yourself that the answers lie. They’ve been there all along. Jack Hatfield, whose memoir Blessed with Tragedy recounted the transformational experience of caring for a premature daughter, shares the simple truths he’s discovered in Natural Success Principles. They are truths so often overlooked that they seem to be revelations of a new and exciting horizon—even though they’ve been a part of you from before you were born. Understanding these truths unlocks methods of reaching your goals, and reveals the complexities and difficulties we struggle with are not as challenging as they seem—once we are able to rediscover what lies within us.

The Hatfield train crash on October 17th last year killed four people and caused several months of social chaos. This is the frightening story of the unnecessary ruin of the British rail system.

Many musicians, including some that are technically quite advanced, never break away from the printed page to learn by simply listening and re-creating. The common name for this process is "playing by ear." With some basic guidelines, any musician with rudimentary skills can teach himself or herself to play by ear, adding a new dimension to their playing skills. This book teaches the 5-string banjoist to listen and play solos and chord progressions by ear, providing essential ear training and techniques needed to participate in jam sessions of all types! Chapters include: Learning Chord Progressions by Ear; Faking a Solo; Playing the Melody by Ear; and Using Licks. Written in tablature only. Includes access to online audio in split-track format with the melody track on the left and the rhythm on the right.

In this selection from over twenty years of reporting and writing, Ian Jack sets out to deal with contemporary Britain - from national disasters to football matches to obesity - but is always drawn back in time, vexed by the question of what came first. In 'Women and Children First', watching the film Titanic leads into an investigation into the legend of Wallace Henry Hartley, the famous band leader of the doomed liner, while 'The 12.10 to Leeds', a magnificent report on the Hatfield rail crash, begins its hunt for clues in the eighteenth century in the search for those responsible. Further afield, he finds vestiges of a vanished Britain in the Indian subcontinent, meeting characters like maverick English missionary and linguist William Carey, credited with importing India's first steam engine. Full of the style, knowledge and intimacy that makes his work so special, this collection is the perfect introduction to the work of one of the country's finest writers.

“My Brother Was an Only Child” was Jack Douglas’ very first humour book, having written for famous radio and television celebrities such as Jack Paar, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Jimmy Durante, as well as TV shows such as “Adventures of Harriet and Ozzie”, “The George Gobel Show”, and “Laugh-In”. It perfectly captures the sense of humour prevalent in this era and is as refreshing and side-splittingly funny now as it was then.
