A fictional social history, which gets under the skin of 1960s England: its music and youth cultures and the more general social attitudes and behaviours of that decade. John Eves challenges the depiction of Mods vs Rockers in the 60s, comparing experiences of living in North London at that time, to those of young people growing up in the provinces. This is interspersed with stories of working life in a small provincial office environment, with shocking accounts of the sexism and sexual harassment 'tolerated' by the female staff. East Coast Blues - A 1960s Odyssey is the story of a young man coming of age in the 1960s; about how the Mod culture of the 1960s went sour through the mindless violence of a few. The novel reveals the jealousies, power struggles and disputes - mainly over girls - and challenges the bias of the press at the time, that all Mods were violent thugs.This is not an alternative history but the 1960s as one man remembers living it."Can be loosely compared to Absolute Beginners by Colin Macinnes with regard to its social commentary"

One day a man enters a bookshop and starts a conversation with the knowledgeable woman who serves him. An intriguing relationship ensues - in the search for revelations about The Israelite Exodus.

EZDRAS INSIGHTS contains the Apocryphal Book of 'II EZDRAS' which was in the KING JAMES version of the Bible until 1885. Why was it taken out? Read on and find out WHY?EZDRAS INSIGHTS has many Bible verses as cross-references, as well as 'insightful comments'. II EZDRAS talks about the 'Bride of Christ' & also the 'Call of the Bride'. As in Enoch Insights, my second book Ezdras Insights mentions that the earth is actually hollow in five different chapters. It also mentions the coming Messiah and prophesies very accurately that he would come in 400 years from the time of Ezra, who wrote II EZDRAS. This turned out to be exactly correct. This book also talks about Salvation & Zion. It amazingly predicted the rise of the Roman Empire over 400 years before it happened. It talks about the Son of God & the coming Wrath of God, as well as Babylon the Great, as also mentioned in Revelations 17-18. The 20 appendices are chock-full of extra information about Hell, Portals, man becoming smaller, weaker, not taller and stronger as modern science teaches, and many other interesting topics. This book even proves that the earth is very young, and not much more than 6000 years old. Amazingly this book also explains what happened to the missing 10 tribes of Israel back in around 700-800 BCE. That alone is an amazing and incredible story.

Tri-lingual: Français-English-DeutschThe presence of different communities in the same social environment has never been easy because each people has its particularities. Languages, cultures and civilizations are identity marks characterizing each group of individuals. But everyone, if not everybody would like to safeguard his personal identity: communion or conflict? Thus, the research presented in this book gives itself the fundamental objective of drawing parallels around the concepts of linguistics, sociolinguistics and interculturality, the stakes of which are also social. This is why through this cross-examination of concepts, Dr. Jean René Maffo highlights their aims and their limits in order to finally consider perspectives, without forgetting the part of multiculturalism and multilingualism.This study is conducted in English, French and in the German language.ÉTUDE CROISÉE DES CONCEPTS: LINGUISTIQUE, INTERCULTURALITÉ ET SOCIOLINGUISTIQUE: VALEURS, LIMITES ET PERSPECTIVESCROSSOVER STUDY OF CONCEPTS: LINGUISTICS, INTERCULTURALITY AND SOCIOLINGUISTICS: VALUES, LIMITS AND PERSPECTIVESCROSSOVER STUDIE DER KONZEPTE: LINGUISTIK, INTERKULTURALITÄT UND SOZIOLINGUISTIK: WERTE, GRENZEN UND AUSSICHTEN

ENOCH INSIGHTS gives great insight into the book of Enoch itself, which is an ancient book of around 5000 years old and apparently the very first book ever written. The book of Enoch was banned for 1000 years during the Dark Ages, on the threat of one being burned at the stake. Why was it banned?Enoch lived in a Prediluvian world where 'Fallen Angels' came down from heaven and were seduced by the most beautiful women who had ever lived.The fruit of this 'forbidden union' were the Giants and Titans, who became cannibals and devoured mankind. Perhaps that is why we find many prediluvian cities underground? Were the prediluvian peoples hiding from man-eating giants and other monsters, such as dragons, dinosaurs and also chimeras of many types? How did the chimeras come into existence?During his lifespan which reached 365 years old, Enoch had many visions and dreams of heaven. He also visited hell and other dimensions. He prophesied about the entire '7000-year-History' of mankind from the beginning to the very end with stunning accuracy

The story of Count Dracula, the blood-sucking vampire of Bram Stoker's classic gothic horror novel and the subsequent star of a multitude of stage and film presentations, is well-known: a creature which comes alive at night when everyone else is asleep to feast on the warm blood of young maidens before returning to its coffin home at dawn; one which can be repelled by garlic and crosses but killed only by a stake through the heart. What is not so well known is that much of Stoker's original 1897 novel is set in Essex - in the Thameside village (as it was then) of Purfleet, near Grays.Why should Bram Stoker have chosen such a seemingly insignificant settlement as the place where the Transylvanian vampire makes his English home? Could it be that the fiction of Dracula is based on some horrifying fact? Does Purfleet perhaps have a history of vampire associations? Are the characters and the locations in the novel drawn from actual people and places in the village? Or is there a more mundane reason for this Essex location being Stoker's choice?This book sets out to answer all these questions and more to provide once and for all an answer to the mystery of why Bram Stoker should wish to set such a horrific blood-curdling story in a quiet Essex Thameside village...

In the beginning was Jamestown.... This is the wondrous story of the genesis of America told through this cradle to the grave account of the life of one man. Richard Pace was a simple London carpenter who became an Ancient Planter - a name given to the earliest colonial settlers. It was his timely warning of an impending attack that saved the first permanent settlement in Virginia from annihilation. Richard's heroic act had profound consequences: Survival provided a breathing space that would eventually bring about a total victory over the indigenous tribes as the colonists gained time to re-group and then went on to the offensive Richard's warning which foiled a Jamestown massacre meant that by their failure to wipe out the settlers the Powhatan Confederacy had effectively signed their own death warrant. The fate intended for the interloping white man was in fact visited on the attackers for in the following years the native population suffered subjugation, marginalisation, suppression of their culture and were pressed from their tribal lands To the victor the spoils for the settlers secured undisputed occupation and control of the territory. Virginia prospered under individual enterprise balanced by institutions which ensured justice, the rule of law and participative governance. The colony organised round this combination of individualism, free markets and democratic self government, presaged what America would become

A few weeks after I made an attempt to rocket power a Dinky Toy, nearly blowing up the Toolroom in the process, I left the Meccano factory to present myself at Cardington Air Force Base to do my National Service in the R A F.Three days later I was back, having been pronounced unfit to serve Queen and Country because I had suffered two severe bouts of pneumonia as a child. At a previous medical I had been graded A1.My family were happy to see the return of the 'prodigal', not so my current girlfriend, she had wasted no time in finding a replacement.After my explosive exit I was also less than welcome when I arrived back at Meccano on the following Monday but, because I had left to do my duty in the armed forces, by law they had to give me my job back. I was immediately moved into the Tool Repair, next door where, presumably, they thought I would be out of harm's way, and the main Toolroom staff would be safer without a budding bomb maker in their midst. Life moved on, then one Sunday afternoon I happened to be near Binns Road and decided to pay a nostalgic visit to the old Meccano factory, now closed. Outwardly the building looked much as I remembered but when I peered in through a small window set in one of the massive doors I looked upon total devastation, demolition was well under way. For a long time I gazed as the memories flooded back so real and fresh, that I realised such unique experiences should not be allowed to simply fade away as the place in which they were created was fading away, they must be preserved. And so . . . .All the incidents in this narrative actually happened although, obviously, not precisely as depicted.This book has not been written to extol the wonderful products which poured from the Binns Road production lines for over fifty years, that has been done many times, but rather it is to bring to the reader the experiences, good and bad, happy and sometimes traumatic of a young apprentice growing up in the legendary factory that was Meccano. Except for the author most of the names have been changed to protect the innocent (and the not so innocent).
