Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. I came from a family of barely solvent aristocrats So begins one of the most refreshingly honest memoirs to have appeared in recent years. Richard Needham looks back on a life that straddles the worlds of commerce and politics, and that deeply influenced both those spheres. In captivating style, he traces his journey from innovative businessman to visionary and often controversial politician and back again to his roots in the commercial world. From Thatcher to Arafat, from Northern Ireland to China, the reader is treated to caustic wit, humorous anecdotes, and frank verdicts on those with whom he came into contact. One Man, Two Worlds is an engaging addition to the social and political record of the life and turbulent times of Sir Richard Needham, 6th Earl of Kilmorey. Richard is handicapped by wit, honesty and a lifelong inability to toe anybody elses line. Max Hastings As a politician and businessman, Richard Needham was talented, irreverent and from time to time high risk. His memoirs reflect all those traits, which makes it a delight to read. John Major Its a bloody marvellous book. Frank, fearless and funny but full of humanity. Penny Junor Richard Needham is both funny and full of highly interesting observations, especially on Northern Ireland where he was an excellent minister. Chris Patten Richard Needham is a character larger than life. He is always at it, of certain opinion and audible. For a glimpse behind the realities of a political career ups and downs, roughs and smooths this is it.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In 1983, Interpol named Northern Ireland the most dangerous place in the world to be a police officer. In 1968, the RUC was catapulted into the Troubles. Bombs, death threats and murder became a regular part of the day job. Working right at the heart of the conflict, police officers were often caught in the middle heroes to some, villains to others. Now, for the first time, the men and women who policed the Troubles tell their own stories in their own words. Covering all aspects of police work, from handling informants and conducting interviews with notorious criminals to dealing with the aftermath of tragic bombings, these candid, moving and sometimes blackly comic stories show the unpredictable, brutal and surreal world in which the RUC operated. As a former police officer, Colin Breen has unparalleled access to former RUC, Special Branch and CID officers who have never spoken out before. Their stories reveal the mayhem and madness that officers dealt with every day; the psychological and personal toll of the job; and the camaraderie and the whiskey that helped them to cope. Raw, unsettling and frank, A Force Like No Other tells the real story of the RUC. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The 1950s saw the beginning of a rural revolution in the north of Ireland, as farmers took stock after the war and began to use modern methods, moving away from centuries-old practice. Mechanization and farm specialization became more common and statutory marketing boards rationalized the buying and selling that used to happen at markets and fairs. The years since have seen accelerating change - professional training, entry into the EEC in 1973, the introduction of milk quotas in 1984, an inexorably declining rural population and the catastrophic crises of BSE and foot-and-mouth disease. In this informative account, Michael Drake, an experienced agricultural journalist, charts the highs and lows of an industry and a way of life that has seen extraordinary changes in the last five years.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Northern Ireland has an enviable, extensive and often unappreciated role in aviation history. With a focus on aircraft manufacturing from the first pioneering steps by Lilian Bland, Joseph Cordner and a young Harry Ferguson, through a century of developments in production and research, this illustrated volume highlights that history and the people who played a part. Using over 300 black and white and colour images, with extended captions, the authors take a chronological look at how, from innovative beginnings, a successful aircraft and aerospace industry has thrived locally through periods of war and peace. Aircraft from both military and civil backgrounds are featured including the early experiments, licensed military production, flying boats, conversions, fascinating research designs, jet and missile developments, and successful transport and passenger aeroplanes. Details of both locations and people help to bring the story to life.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'Belfast came up with the Titanic, the Troubles, the car bomb, kneecapping, Ulster fries and big fucken sinks. What the fuck is all that about?

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'By Christmas we were living to the rhythm of the tides.' In 2002, following the collapse of his business and the loss of a much-loved family home, Mike Faulkner and his artist wife Lynn left Scotland for a cabin on Islandmore, an uninhabited island on Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland. Familiar to Mike as the holiday haven to which his father, the last Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, had gone with his family during the worst years of the Troubles, moving there to live year-round was a different prospect. With no mains electricity, an erratic water supply and access to the mainland only possible by boat, life on Islandmore is one part catastrophe - storms, broken generators, escaping dinghies - to three parts idyll - long walks on the shore, sunsets from Eagle Hill, year-round picnics, visits from friends. The result is a book imbued with sense of place; an honest, often funny, and moving account of one couple and two dogs living the kind of uncomplicated life that so many of us yearn for.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. As Sydney Callaghan recounts, many of those writing on the theme of grief and bereavement are either dripping with piety or else so orthodox and traditional that those who find difficulty with this position are made to feel odd. Updated to take account of the personal and communal trauma which many in Northern Ireland and elsewhere have to face, this new edition retains the compassion and simplicity of the much-loved original. Although sadly the author passed away since the last edition, his work is a continuing source of comfort to the bereaved themselves. This is also an invaluable tool for clergy, nurses, counsellors, and for anyone dealing with sorrow and distress. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
