This book traces the path of a young man born immediately after the Second World War and classified throughout the world as a Baby Boomer. Brian was a borderline failure at school but worshipped the outdoors and in particular his close mates - these attributes served him well when he was unexpectedly drafted into a two year National Service Scheme created to meet the demands of the Vietnam war. Brian served a thirteen month tour of Vietnam as an Infantry Platoon Commander with an Australian Infantry Battalion and spent forty weeks of his tour in the field - his life was threatened on many occasions but he came out of Vietnam with a greater understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses and a full understanding of the Australian psyche - the friends he made in Vietnam remain his friends today. Brian also was able to take his family on postings to Darwin, Hong Kong and Brunei which strengthened his children's knowledge of a much bigger world and gave them an insight into the riches we share in Australia. Brian used his military knowledge and background to help him raise funds for his local surf club and restore the presence and dignity of a local RSL - a tough life but not an unhappy one.

This book is presented as a unique means of tracing Biblical history, counsel, and life challenges, highlighting their spiritual significance for today. The reader is taken on a journey from Genesis to Revelation as the entire scope of the major themes of the Old and New Testaments are encountered. The poems introduce, in turn, the Bible's main characters and their stories, their messages, related events, and their impact on daily life.A brief commentary relating to textual information introduces each poem, so they can be used as a guide to Bible study, both personal or in small group settings.THE PSALMS relate to the original modes of Hebrew poetry but here transposed into the rhyme and rhythms of modern poetic genres.THE SONGS have been drawn from selected Scriptural prose which is of such depth, meaning, and current value, that its theme resonates in the soul. All the poems are supplied with a suggested traditional hymn tune so that they may be sung in a Church setting, for example, to support the Biblical theme of the day.

Never AloneNever alone with the feelings you have only alone when you hide them deep inside. Never alone with the fears you face only alone when you don't face your fears to it.Never alone when you want to cry only sad when those tears don't dry.Nover alone when you think to yourself detrimental if those thoughts you oppress.Next time you begin to feel isolated, scared, or in disbelief, know that others and I share these thoughts you think.Walk by yourself, but realize you are never alone.

Most of us will be somewhere in between, but all of us will have a feeling we know about him.In truth, even if we have a scholar's knowledge of the bible it will be unique. Even among Christians, each and every one of the billions of Christians will have a different sum of understanding about God and Jesus. This is the nature of human life.MY LIFE is written so that if you knew nothing about Jesus Christ when you started, by the end you would know the heart of the bible, you would know all you need to know.

While working women have achieved much, the issues of the right to work, equal opportunities and rewards, healthy work environment, unionisation and, in particular, the problems of 'the double working life' are still very much alive.In Women at Work Kaye Hargreaves examines the crucial issues, many of them forcefully articulated in workers' own lively accounts. She shows that the dramatically increased participation of women in Australia 's paid workforce constitutes a major challenge to organisation in the workplace and to traditional attitudes about women's role in the society at large. The difficulties in the relationship between women's movement and the labour movement will be resolved only as women workers develop new forms of organisation which reach beyond the conventional confines of unionism to change fundamental social relationships. Women at Work also documents the emergence of this process during the past decade and points to directions for its further development.

Les Japonais et les Chinois ont en commun l'utilisation d'idéogrammes pour s'exprimer. Mais le plus intéressant c'est que ces idéogrammes transmettent justement des idées. C'est là qu'intervient la finesse dans la compréhension de la langue qui se rapporte au ressenti de chacun des peuples et à leur civilisation.On pourrait schématiser en disant que les Chinois sont un peuple lié à la terre tandis que les Japonais sont soumis aux aléas des océans et des mers. Ainsi l'agriculture et l'élevage sont plus ancrés dans la langue chinoise. Le cheval est incontournable avec le cochon, la volaille, le canard laqué, etc. La maison est en bois avec des meubles. Les Chinois sont avant tout des marchands. Le Japonais sera davantage orienté vers la riziculture et la pêche. Les chaumières aux toits en paille de riz, le tatami, le sushi, etc. L'habitation est sobre sans meuble, simplement un foyer au milieu de la pièce. Ils sont à l'origine plutôt des guerriers.En ce qui concerne l'hospitalité, le Chinois vous accueille à plusieurs avec un extrait de thé en suivant un certain rite, le Japonais sera seul avec vous buvant du thé vert ou du saké. Le Chinois vous recevra au restaurant, le Japonais vous conseillera les onsen, les bains chauds.Ces différences notoires se retrouvent dans le langage où chaque élément prend une signification particulière qui prête parfois à sourire ; finalement en ayant la même écriture, ils ont du mal à se comprendre. Témoin cet ouvrage qui pourra servir de référence aux étudiants des deux langues.
