Welcome to the second collection of Andrews poetry. Some of these poems are written about his travels here in the North West of England, interpreting in verse the sights and sounds around him. Then later when unable to get about due to illness he took his inspiration from articles in Newspapers and on the Television.The poems sum up his feelings on life in general, sometimes quite angry and disillusioned with the world around him.Sadly this is the last book of Andrews poetry as he passed away in February 2017. This volume is published by his family in loving memory of him. We hope you enjoy reading this as much as he enjoyed writing them.
This is an English transliteration, translation, and interpretation of the original works of the famous saint and composer Sri Purandara Dasa, who composed and sang around fifteen thousand devotional songs. Individual verses numbering to more than a hundred popular songs have been summarized for better understanding. The aim is to include a wider audience. This book enables the artists to read the lyrics accurately, interpret and understand their meanings as well.
While writing this story, I will be as truthful and honest as possible in describing my thoughts and actions immediately prior to being admitted to the hospital. It was at this time that I completely lost all sense of reality and started to live in the world of my thoughts, where I create my own reality. I will include notes from hospitals, so-called epicrisis (a critical or analytical summing up especially of a medical case history), and comments from friends and relatives. It all began in January 2006, ten years ago. At that point, I had successfully finished my education at Riga City Pavnieku Gymnasium and was studying political science at the University of Latvia. After the first year in university, I had the opportunity to go to Denmark and study European democracy and politics at Folkehojskole. As the programme was relevant to my studies at university, my tutors agreed, and I would be able to continue in my group when I returned. I thought I was going to continue with my coursework from Latvia while in Denmark, but I realised that they were two different, unrelated courses. Returning to Latvia, I soon realised I was not ready to take the ongoing examinations; and although my group mate had regularly sent me course notes, I did not bother to study or pay attention. I remember very clearly that day when I had to go to university, but I chose the easiest option and stayed at home. I thought I could take a year out from university, relax, enjoy my life, and teach children dancing. Unfortunately, this did not happen.
The Value of a Teacher is not just a book but a library joining together dozens of writings on history, stories, songs, poetry, and speeches on illegal trade in wildlife, air quality, environmental rule of law, the green economy, chemicals and waste, and marine debris. Almost the only common factor is that they all speak to us of teachers, revealing their nature, their ecosystem-based adaptation response to climate change and them catapulting values.

In Central West Africa over a quarter of a million year ago, mankind evolved to become the very first known genetically and anatomically modern humans - Homo Sapiens. 140,000 years ago some of these modern humans migrated to the Great Rift Valley and Ethiopia, where almost all non-African people living today originated. More than 70,000 years ago, some of their descendants moved across the Red Sea to the Arabian Peninsula, where 90%, of the Worlds existing non-African population originated. Many thousands of years later, some of these huntergatherers moved north. Because of climate change their black skin changed to the olive brown of the Middle East, some of them later, migrated to the Caucasus and the Southern Eurasian Steppe grasslands. A few went east to Siberia and Northern Asia and eventually to the Americas, mutations changing their bodily features as they went. Others moved east and south, to India and Australasia. 40,000 years ago, after moving further north to the vast colder Northern Eurasian Steppes, mutations again took place, with the people adapting to the climate, by changing their hair, skin and eye colour, to a lighter hue. My own paternal haplogroup eventually moved west from the Eurasian Steppes to the fjords of Norway, becoming Viking warriors who raided the British Isles. They eventually settled here in the 11th century with the family name Manningham, changing to Glover in the 17th century. My maternal ancestors moved from being some of the first farmers in Anatolia to become the Anglo-Saxons in North West Europe, who invaded and settled in South East England over 1,400 years ago. Over the centuries, some members of these families settled in the United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, helping to build these new countries to what they are today. Some towns and cities are named after them. If you are a member of one of these now very wide families, or simply interested in the early history of mankind, I hope you will find this little book of interest. - Richard Donovan Glover
