The Historical Memoirs and a Biography of Admiral Sir Richard Goodwin Keats.Expanding upon a hand-written memoir this work examines the career, life and character of Nelson's favourite captain who remains a neglected star of the Age of Sail.An active career in the Royal Navy spanning the American and French Wars saw Keats showcasing his skills as one of the most talented sea officers of his generation.Possessing a touch for navigation in difficult waters, topped with a degree of daring and incomparable seamanship, Keats was sure to prove himself at sea, whether in a frigate squadron, as captain of a ship of the line or a flag officer. He showed himself equally capable as a diplomat, as Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Newfoundland and for many years as Governor of the Royal Hospital Greenwich.
Andrew R. Cunningham had a passion for cricket and he has taken historical events and characters and re imagined them. He has produced a fascinating novel concentrating on certain aspects of the lives of individual players prior to and after the First IX Cricket Tour of England in 1868.He has used his power of language to create and define characters in such a way that the reader will be entertained, whilst being introduced to perhaps unknown aspects of events in early days of colonial Australia, that were indeed real, and impacted on this story of the first Australian International team.His evocative and clever writing describes aspects often forgotten or not previously represented by this story. He uses compassion and humour as he gently provokes the reader to think seriously about the past injustices practised by society at the time. His writing also celebrates the prowess, skills and sporting successes of the Aboriginal cricketers. His empathy is encapsulated in the title, 'Cry sorrowful for Bullocky.'

But despite having had a standout collegiate career, the six-foot-one point guard goes unselected in the NBA Draft. Unwilling to give up on his lifelong dream of making it to "the League," a week after the draft, DJ heads to Las Vegas to compete in the NBA's Summer League showcase for the chance to earn his way onto a team's roster.While in Vegas, DJ is approached by a mysterious man named Marion Lake-a low-profile, referral-only player development coach. Nicknamed "The Invisible Hand" for his ability to impact the trajectory of a player's career, Marion explains that he has been hired by an anonymous benefactor to train DJ, and that he's legally obligated to do so until the point guard signs an NBA contract. Though skeptical at first, DJ eventually accepts Marion's offer.Now, under the tutelage of basketball's best-kept secret, DJ attempts to not only make the improbable leap to the NBA as an undrafted rookie, but seeks to leave his mark on the court if and when his name finally gets called. However, what starts out as a quest to realize a childhood dream soon evolves into a journey of self-discovery that transcends the game of basketball.

Having to throw a lot of punches for protection was a way of life in the Navy! Survival depended on how willing I was to stand up to a culture that left many unable to defend themselves. I did a lot of the heavy lifting for them. My experiences in the Navy taught me about not backing down and letting others walk over me. Of course, this comes at a price, mentally, physically and emotionally. I had to create ways to not only survive, but to prosper. The lessons learnt in the Navy certainly stayed with me through relationships and business and it came with good times and bad times. This book is about coming from nothing and ending up in a reasonably good place. I'm not quite at peace with myself yet; I'm a work in progress and I'm looking to turn the next page and see what awaits. Read this book and learn how I survived, what drove me and how I keep moving forward. The Clock Keeps Ticking. Tick, Tick, Tick.

God is the ultimate Entrepreneur!God is a businessman, who makes more out of less through a process of exchange and participation. His miracles are imbued with businessimplications and his parables give wisdom on achieving more than we started with. From turning water to wine at Canaan, to feeding the 5000 plus with two fishes and five loaves, to healing the sick, to showing Peter how to catch (or cash) more fish in his business, the list is near endless. God is a businessman with massive results of success in profit maximisation with faith being the medium of exchange. God desires that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven and he desires to partner with us in achieving this. God created work and by extension, business as the avenue and vehicle in which God would speak with man, relate to man and work with man. It is God's primary means (not the only) of bringing His Kingdom into a divine association with the world. It's interesting to note that God created Work before Family or even the Church. He first gave Adam a lifetime purpose (to work the Garden of Eden and take care of creation) and then later a specific task that contributes to that purpose (naming the Animals). Then within the context of that job and the business environment, God worked with Adam, spoke to him (sometimes walked with him in the cool of the day) and related with him one on one. Similarly, God still desires to partner with businesses and business owners today in a way that allows the presence, proximity and hand of God to cause multiplication such that we can feed, heal and impact the multitude and the world. Our business may not be much, or we may even consider ourselves as underdogs in business, but little becomes much when we allow God to get involved. When you allow God in your business, not as a side kick or as an afterthought but "IN" your business, as your partner, at your board meetings, in your decisions, you can expect the extra-ordinary and the miraculous. This book will show you what God's original intent for business is and why he is more interested in business and in your business as a channel of transformation and fulfilling the great commission than you may have ever imagined.As you read this book, I encourage you to read it with an open mind and prepare to have your preconceived notions challenged about such matters as money, wealth and God's disposition to business, money and wealth. Stay awake in your spirit as you read, so you can stay aware. Let the Truth of God's word set you free once and for all, so you can be financially fruitful and make more impact in fulfilling the great commission. May you gain new insights and an awakening into how you see business and your role in it. Understanding and applying the principles revealed in this book will nodoubt empower you to achieve massive success in business and financial confidence.
'Clive has a wonderful and unique form of writing. These short chapters are quite profound. Many of us are already familiar with the Bible stories he refers to but as we read each chapter of Clive's book our eyes and spirits are opened to see the story freshly and with new understandings. Clive, very simply, yet graphically gives us the background, the thinking and the feeling of the characters un each of the stories. In a very easy to read style Clive teaches complex theology in a very devotional manner because He understands God. God is love and Clive opens our hearts to encounter that love and then share it with others.This book would be a great book, for personal devotion, for new Christians, for those interested in understanding the Bible more. I am sure you will enjoy these short readings immensely but also have your faith expanded and be challenged by fresh insights and understanding of the love of God.'The Reverend Anne Harley; Pastor, Uniting Church Townsville.
