Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos declared a decade ago that “the book is so Payment is due on receipt of books. highly evolved and so suited to its task that it’s very hard to displace”. No reply means item sold prior to receipt of your order. It turns out that he was right, despite his pushing Amazon’s Kindle e- reader as a viable alternative. Unless to firm order, books will only be held for three days.

CONTENTS Amazon now favours print books and is now about to open a bricks and BOOKS OF THE MONTH 1 - 31 mortar bookshop in Manhattan. Price has a lot to do with the dynamics of this. Amazon signed deals AUSTRALIA & THE PACIFIC 32 - 163 with publishers limiting e-book discounting and prices of e-books rose MISCELLANEOUS 164 - 376 after this, however Amazon is still discounting hard copy books. In some BOOKPLATES 377 - 388 cases of late the e-book version of a title has been more expensive that the hard copy, which to me makes no sense at all. Books, either in printed or digital form, have been a more stable platform Front cover items: that other types of media.

  • Mark Ferguson Jane Haining Speech 2021
    HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL EVENT 2021 – Mark Ferguson Jane Haining was born in Dunscore, Dumfriesshire on Lochead Farm in 1897. A very intelligent and able young women Jane came to our town of Paisley to work for J.P Coats threadmill, firstly as a Clerk then promoted to Secretary (A senior post in the Mill). Following this Jane spent some time in Glasgow and Manchester before taking up a position as Matron in a girl’s home at the Scottish Mission to the Jews in Budapest. When the NAZIS turned their attention to Hungary Jane was asked to return to Scotland, however she replied “if these children need me in the days of sunshine, how much more do they need me in the days of darkness?”. Jane was later to be arrested by the Gestapo and was charged on 8 counts: That she had worked among the Jews. That she had wept when putting yellow stars on the girls. That she had dismissed her housekeeper, who was an Aryan. That she had listened to the news broadcasts of the BBC. That she had many British visitors. That she was active in politics. That she visited British prisoners of war. That she sent them parcels. She admitted to all the charges except being active in politics. Jane was amongst the first transportations from Hungary to Auschwitz/Birkenau in May 1944. On arrival she was stripped, tattooed with the number 79467 - at the age of 47, disinfected, hair shaved, before being issued with striped clothing and clogs. In Janes last letter to the head of the mission dated a few days before she died referenced her fondness for her beloved Dunscore stating “even here on the way to heaven are mountains”.

Turkish German Muslims and Comedy Entertainment 6 For the majority of the AHSN’s members, based outside of New Zealand, the conference will be an online event. In order New Books on Humour Studies to make this process as simple as possible, we have decided Explorations in Humor Studies 7 to base the event on a format developed by the Political Humour in Audiovisual Translation 7 Ecology Research Centre (PERC) at Massey University. This is an asynchronous model utilising a pre-recorded video and Review Comments on forum-based discussion which we hope to also supplement The Linguistics of Humor 8 with Zoom sessions where possible.

The aim of this project was to find hidden pieces of glass that perhaps not many folk know about and bring them to a wider audience along with accompanying stories from the people who told us about their glass finds. Here is the result; the Glass Stories Trail. It is a circular route and you can start the trail at any point and visit as much or as little of it as you like. There are also suggestions of additional diversions that you can take away from the trail to see other things that, if incorporated into the trail route, would have made it a bit too big to do comfortably.

The Germans are ten miles away and advancing. There ap- pears to be no escape. There are 400,000 men to be evacuated. Avail- able warships draw too much water to get near the beaches, so smaller craft are needed. Volunteers come forward with their boats. It is one of the greatest rescues of all time by this fleet of small vessels designated “The Little Ships of Dunkirk.” The heroism of these volunteers becomes legendary.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 Abstract Abstract This thesis considers the Chinese Blueshirts organisation from 1932 to 1938 in the context of Chiang Kaishek's attempts to unify and modernise China. It sets out the terms of comparison between the Blueshirts and Fascist organisations in Europe and Japan, indicating where there were similarities and differences of ideology and practice, as well as establishing links between them. It then analyses the reasons for the appeal of Fascist organisations and methods to Chiang Kaishek. Following an examination of global factors, the emergence of the Blueshirts from an internal point of view is considered. As well as assuming many of the characteristics of a Fascist organisation, especially according to the Japanese model and to some extent to the European model, the Blueshirts were in many ways typical of the power-cliques which were already an integral part of Chinese politics.

  • Real Life Stories Scottish Missionary Who Paid the Ultimate Price
    Real Life Stories Scottish Missionary Who Paid the Ultimate Price ! Jane Mathison Haining - Scottish Missionary The story of Jane Haining is the story of a Scottish woman who was deeply committed to her faith and who sacrificed her life for her ideals. It was her calling that took her away from her native Scotland, first to Budapest, and finally to Auschwitz, where she perished. Jane Haining, a Church of Scotland missionary who was forced into slave labour, died in Auschwitz in 1944, aged 47, after refusing to abandon the Jewish girls in her care at a home for Jewish girls run by the Scottish Mission in Budapest, Hungary. Scottish Missionaries were advised to return home from Europe but Jane declined. There were 315 pupils including 48 boarders and Jane was determined to remain to look after them. She refused, and wrote: “If these children need me in days of sunshine, how much more do they need me in days of darkness.” The papers telling the extraordinarily moving story of prisoner 79467 were found in the World Mission Council’s archives at the Kirk’s head quarters in George Street in Edinburgh. They also contain a translation of the last letter she wrote two days before she died and correspondence showing the efforts by Bishop Laszlo Ravasz to try to secure her release. Miss Haining, as she was known to her girls, was born in 1897 and grew up near Dunscore in Dumfriesshire. She worked as a secretary at a threadmaker company in Paisley for 10 years before she moved to Budapest in 1932 to work as a matron in the Jewish Mission School.
