Are you who you were born to be? The trials and tribulations of growing from cook trainee to being a major player in building and selling seven fairly large companies. The journey is humorous, mentally and physically challenging, and very rewarding both personally and financially. Learning the art of people development was one of my greatest joys in life. I believe that I am who I was born to be, and I am very blessed for having made the journey.

The Fourth Person Within is a book about the life of a Green Beret. It chronicles his life leading up to and becoming one of America's most deadly weapons. The training is only one part of the equation when it comes to being sent to Vietnam to train the mountain people to fight against the Viet Cong. The rest of it hinges on allowing that fourth person within each of us who only comes out in extreme circumstances such as life and death situations or when dealing with something so horrific that our minds have trouble processing it. Follow Roy Jones as he recounts his escapades living as that fourth person and his struggle to leave that fourth person behind.

Roy Jones is a journalist of an unusual kind, a real worker correspondent. He became an reporter

on the Morning Star after a hard apprenticeship as an itinerant industrial worker, as a militant

trade unionist working as a pipefitter on industrial sites throughout Britain where the weather

was as challenging as the bosses (and bosses' placemen) who made a guaranteed weekly wage

an uncertain prospect.

Proud of both his traditional manual skills and his newly acquired craft he was respected by

trade union leaders as much as he was trusted by workers on picket lines not least because he

brought to his reporting a sharp intelligence combined with a real insight into the daily problems

workers face.

These reminiscences arrived at Manifesto Press as a series of witty, entertaining, insightful and

politically perceptive political accounts of his unusual life and work. Some recalled in conversation

and recorded by friends and family, some culled from his decades of clippings, some

the product of discussion with his colleagues and comrades.

The finished text bears the marks of its transcription from oral and written accounts and we

are indebted to Manifesto Press volunteer Alan Tucker who carried through the first and most

rigorous edit. Alan is a former engineer, systems analyst and project manager, and technical

author and the text is the result of his discipline and energy.

Land settlement schemes, sponsored by national governments and businesses, such as the Ford Corporation and the Hudson's Bay Company, took place in locations as diverse as the Canadian Prairies, the Dutch polders, and the Amazonian rainforests. This novel contribution evaluates a diverse range of these initiatives.

By 1900, any land that remained available for agricultural settlement was often far from the settlers' homes and located in challenging physical environments. Over the course of the twentieth century, governments, corporations and frequently desperate individuals sought out new places to settle across the globe from Alberta to Papua New Guinea. This book offers vivid reports of the difficulties faced by many of these settlers, including the experiences of East European Jewish refugees, New Zealand soldier settlers and urban families from Yorkshire.

This book considers how and why these settlement schemes succeeded, found other pathways to sustainability or succumbed to failure and even oblivion. In doing so, the book indicates pathways for the achievement of more economically, socially and environmentally sustainable forms of human settlement in marginal areas. This engaging collection will be of interest to individuals in the fields of historical geography, environmental history and development studies.

In any settler and/or postcolonial society, heritage is a complex and contested topic that involves indigenous, imperial and other migrant components. In Australia, this situation is compounded by the unique characteristics of the country's natural environment, the considerable diversity of its migrant intake and the demographic and technological imbalances between its indigenous and settler populations. This volume brings together internationally recognized academics and emerging scholars, whose expertise extends through the areas of tourism, planning, heritage management, environmental studies and state and local government. Through a representative set of case studies from across the country's states and capital cities, the contributors demonstrate the range and diversity of heritage issues currently confronting Australia, and consider possible ways of resolving these.

If we are serious about a new way forward, we cannot hide from historical truth in America. That history is painful, but for whom? The telling of these truths is not nearly as painful for us as it was for Africans to endure such callous inhumanity. White people hide from the great force of history because it lays bare their complicity in making a nation and world that unfairly advantages them and is enforced by violence and mendacity. Black people hide from the great force of history because we do not want to make white people uncomfortable and many of us would rather luxuriate in the national rhetoric of freedom, justice and equality than to fight for the real thing.
