Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So what did Scots have to smile about this year? In politics, parties kept on losing their leaders, some folk, not us, voted for Brexit and Donald Trump flew in to give Scots his words of wisdom. In sport Andy Murray smashed it, Rangers returned, and we watched the European Championships from afar, and in The Herald we reminisced about supporters buses, stern refs, and sexist golf clubs. Meanwhile Scots continued to muse on the damp weather, why they didn t understand their kids, how to meet the opposite sex, and going to the pub. All these and more made up The Herald s funniest stories of the year, published every day in the newspaper s Diary column. And now the very best have been gathered here for you to enjoy all over again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the year that saw Rangers Football Club face administration, that saw Greece struggle with teetering debt, that saw Scots wrestle with the idea of a referendum on independence, and saw the Scottish football team once again watching an international competition from the outside. And what did most Scots do? Well, what they usually do - they laughed about it. Fortunately they then sent their musings to "The Herald" newspaper's "Diary" column where their views on world affairs, plus all the stories of all the daft and amusing things that happened in Scotland's pubs, trains, streets and homes were gathered, polished and printed. This is the compilation of the best of these stories. It is where the best of Scottish humour is gathered and kept so that the stories are not lost forever, and if you are a Scot anywhere in the world, you will recognise the humour in them. And even if you are not Scottish you should still be able to smile, even though you have to ask a Scot for the occasional piece of clarification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his latest book of poetry “Diorama Of Three Diaries” Sonnet explores his creativity to the heights and depths of his mortal and spiritual being and allows us to be a part of it. He takes us on a picturesque journey through secret gardens and landscapes visible only to the discerning eye. It is a trip well worth taking. You will be richer for the excursion into the mystical dream he lives in. Every poem in the book has depth and will find a home in hearts that beat in unison with the universe, the earth, humanity and spirit. In the poem “A Call Through Misty Eyes”, these words scrape our souls with the blade of a feather “His misty vision mistook me as someone familiar and I was no more a tramp.” He paints the inner reaches of soulful sentiment and empathy onto the living canvas of life. His stream of consciousness flows like stardust and starlight on iridescent rivers of imagination that spill freely from his mind, through his pen onto the paper and splash against the face of our heart. Candice James Poet Laureate, New Westminster, BC CANADA.

Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive coverage of one of Australia's most historic elections, which produced a hung parliament and a carefully crafted minority government that remains a heartbeat away from collapse, as well as Australia's first elected woman Prime Minister and the Australian Greens' first lower house Member of Parliament. The volume considers the key contextual and possibly determining factors, such as: the role of leadership and ideology in the campaign; the importance of state and regional factors (was there evidence of the two or three speed economy at work?); and the role of policy areas and issues, including the environment, immigration, religion, gender and industrial relations. Contributors utilise a wide range of sources and approaches to provide comprehensive insights into the campaign. This volume notably includes the perspectives of the major political groupings, the ALP, the Coalition and the Greens; and the data from the Australian Election Survey. Finally we conclude with a detailed analysis of those 17 days that it took to construct a minority party government.

Book excerpt: The year 1945 was a chaotic one, both for the world, of course, and for Winston Churchill. Communism was on the march and the people of Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Poland all found themselves in the grip of the Soviets. The Red Army occupied a large German territory, and the Kremlin was manipulating post-war food shortages, labor disputes, and social unrest in Greece, France, and Italy. Having spent his “wilderness years” in the late 1930s warning of the dangers of diplomatic and military weakness and the growing menace of Nazism, in 1946 Churchill made a trip to Fulton, Missouri, to deliver a speech entitled “The Sinews of Peace”—now known as the Iron Curtain Speech—which served to fundamentally define the dangers of Soviet totalitarian Communism. This is the story of that pivotal speech and how it came to be given, and a portrait of the irrepressible man who delivered it.
