He was born in 1932 in haripur, a small town in the north-western frontier province of present-day Pakistan. His love for the army developed from watching troops go by during World War II on grand trunk road, a road next to his house. When Partition happened, his family, like many others, went through the trauma which brought them back to India virtually destitute. The author joined the National defence Academy in 1949. He, unfortunately, lost his right eye in an accident happened at the national defence Academy. He in spite of the loss continued and thrived with his career. His display of courage to persevere through the rest of the service with one eye speaks volumes. He was a directing Staff at the defence services Staff college Wellington and describes his teaching tenure as enduring while meaningful. His love of adventure took him to Para trooping, mountaineering and also to volunteer for 1971 indo-pakistan war. His mountaineering experience gave him an extraordinary chance to lead a police expedition along up-tibet border. His inspiring and vivid description of the Wars, operation vijay(goa), in do -China war of 1962, and indo-pakistan war 1971 highlights the adventure and the profession knowledge he displays in dealing with difficult situations and explicit narration of events. Throughout his autobiography, the author depicts a very colourful journey giving insights about his courage in every aspect of his career. Due to his family circumstances, he resigned from the army as a Brigadier, at the height of his professional career. The author is extremely grateful to the Indian Army for providing wonderful opportunities and important life lessons.

Book excerpt: The full history of St. Patrick's day is captured here for the first time in The Wearing of the Green. Illustrated with photos, the book spans the medieval origins, steeped in folklore and myth, through its turbulent and troubled times when it acted as fuel for fierce political argument, and tells the fascinating story of how the celebration of 17th March was transformed from a stuffy dinner for Ireland's elite to one of the world's most public festivals. Looking at more general Irish traditions and Irish communities throughout the world, Mike Cronin and Daryl Adair follow the history of this widely celebrated event, examining how the day has been exploited both politically and commercially, and they explore the shared heritage of the Irish through the development of this unique patriotic holiday. Highly informative for students of history, cultural studies and sociology, and an absolute delight for anyone interested in the fascinating and unique culture of Ireland.

Book excerpt: From products we use to clothes we wear, and spaces we inhabit, we rely on colour to provide visual appeal, data codes and meaning. Color and Design addresses how we understand and experience colour, and through specific examples explores how colour is used in a spectrum of design-based disciplines including apparel design, graphic design, interior design, and product design. Through highly engaging contributions from a wide range of international scholars and practitioners, the book explores colour as an individual and cultural phenomenon, as a pragmatic device for communication, and as a valuable marketing tool. Color and Design provides a comprehensive overview for scholars and an accessible text for students on a range of courses within design, fashion, cultural studies, anthropology, sociology and visual and material culture. Its exploration of colour in marketing as well as design makes this book an invaluable resource for professional designers. It will also allow practitioners to understand how and why colour is so extensively varied and offers such enormous potential to communicate.

Download or read book Wearing the Green Beret written by Jake Olafsen and published by McClelland & Stewart Limited. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the authenticity of Jarhead and Bravo Two Zero and the straight-up narrative of Contact Charlie, this military memoir describes what really goes on in the training of an elite soldier and his tours in Afghanistan. In 2004, Jake Olafsen signed up for the Royal Marines Commandos. He left everything behind at home in Canada on the basis of a spur-of-the-moment decision. The Royal Marines have the toughest and longest basic training of any infantry unit in the world. For Olafson, this meant eight months of wet and cold in England and Wales. It was hell, but he came out with the four Commando qualities that the corps look for: courage, determination, unselfishness, cheerfulness in the face of adversity. Olafsen went on to serve for four years as a Commando in the Royal Marines, an elite military unit based in the United Kingdom. He went to Afghanistan twice: in 2006, he went to confront the Taliban in Helmand Province for six months, and in 2007, he was sent to do it all over again. His story is filled with good experiences, like the sense of accomplishment, patriotism, and camaraderie, and the opportunity to travel the world. But all good things come at a price. The sacrifices he made for the Corps are significant; he has killed the enemy and he has buried his friends. And in telling his story, Olafsen hopes that he can make sense of it all. This is an honest, gutsy story about the mud and the blood, the triumphs and the tragedies. From the Hardcover edition.
