London England: Souvenir Press, 1995. Anyone who is in tune with the times knows that Snow White took refuge with seven vertically challenged men, that Little Red Riding Hood, her grandma and the cross-dressing wolf set up an alternative household based on mutual respect and cooperation, that Goldilocks was a rogue biologist who specialised in the study of anthropomorphic bears, that the Frog Prince was not a prince at all, but a middle-aged, balding real estate developer with plans to drain the pond, and that the Emperor was not naked, but merely endorsing a clothing-optional lifestyle. You didnt know that? You mean that you or your children were lulled to sleep by classic bedtime stories that are discriminatory, prejudiced and demeaning to witches, animals, giants, dwarfs, goblins and fairies everywhere? Now at last you can remedy this cultural defect by reading Politically Correct Bedtime Stories and find out what really happened when Jack climbed the beanstalk, when Cinderella went to the ball and when the wolf tried to blow down the houses of the Three Little Pigs. After all, if you were brought up on all that sexist, racist, sizeist, ethnocentrist reading matter, then you most certainly need to be made aware of the dangers, in these sensitive modern times, of expressing any kind of opinion at all.

Reprint. Cloth. Very Good/Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Hardback., Souvenir Press, 1995, 2.75, London England: Harper & Row Publishers, 1979. Paperback. Slight crease to corner front cover. Middle-age is the great neglect unknown of an otherwise well-dcumented lifespan. Yet all of us will have to pass through it, and perhaps we fear it, believing when we are younger that it is indeed a period of stagnation, of physical slowing-down and hardening attitudes. But in reality it is the time when many people reach for and attain the best that their lives can afford them. And it is a time of stress, with new challenges at work, new responsibilites, the departure of children from home, often new emotional commitments combining to demand all the strength a human being can muster. Whether one triumphs or fails in this challenge, it is also a tieme when the reality of one's life has to be approached. This book offers an entirely new approach to and understanding of what has been called 'the mid-life crisis'.

Paperback., Harper & Row Publishers, 1979, 3, London: Nicholas Brealey Publishing. Paperback. Is That Bike Diesel, Mate? One Man, One Bike and the First Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil. Paul Carter is forty years old, a successful writer, husband and father, no longer toiling on offshore drilling rigs, With his manic life left far behind and the perfect opportunity to take it easy stretching out before him, what else could a bike-obsesse4d middle-aged man possibly want? To be the first guy to ride around Australia on an underpowered experimental motorcycle that runs on used chip fat, that's what! And preferably without getting hit by a truck full of bridge parts. Is he out of his mind? Quite possibly....Illustrated. 266 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.)

Paperback. 1st Paperback Printing. 2011., Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2011, 3, Great Britain: Oxford University Press, 1988. Paperback. This original anthology brings together the wit and wisdom of some of the more remarkable figures on the social scene, past and present, to reveal a kaleidoscope of opinions about every age of life from birth to 100. We ritually celebrate each passing year on our birthday, and as we grow from childhood to young adulthood, from middle age to old age, we often pause to reflect on our achievements or aspirations, on what it means to be a certain age. If you want to find your experiences hsared, or your fears or hopes for the future confirmed, turn to any age for profound truths and ironic observations expressed by people as diverse as Cicero and Ogden Nash, Picasso and Mozart, Goethe and Churchill, and Charlotte Bronte and Gertrude Stein. After reading these pages you may be encouraged to proclaim your age - or hide it. Whatever you decide, you will know you are in good company. 202 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.). . 1st Oxford University Press Edition.
