Описание: A bikers war-compellingly recounted The highly dangerous task of the aide-de-camp was often to carry urgent despatches with essential calls to action across the field of battle. The young men chosen for the job were invariably dashing, brave and prepared to take risks to achieve their objectives. They were, of course, always expert horsemen. The age of the military horseman had not quite come to a close at the time of the First World War, but-as with most forms of progress-he was sharing duties with that which would eventually replace him, the machines of the new age. Now there was a another breed of 'daredevil, ' though necessarily 'cut from the same cloth.' The motorcycle despatch riders were a new service created in an age of innovation. All were so called 'amateur' soldiers though immediately at least ranked corporal so that they could, by British Army convention, address officers directly. These were invariably intelligent, accomplished young men drawn from the professions or universities. Their creed was the same as that of their horse mounted predecessors-the messages they carried had to get through and to deliver them motorcyclists often had to outpace charging Uhlans. Many of them ended their careers tangled among the wreckage of their 'bikes.' The author of this book has written a thrilling first hand account of his experiences riding military motorcycles along the front lines during the early stages of the First World War. Later as an officer he took command of a unit of 'buzzers, ' whose job it was to maintain telephone links. A highly entertaining book and thoroughly recommended to all those interested in motorcycles, motorcycling and the Great War in Europe. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Описание: There has never been a more vulnerable time for priests in the Catholic Church. Although the Catholic religion continues to play an important role in peoples lives around the world, the role of the priest has become publically scrutinized and questioned. In The Potter and His Earthen Vessels, author Dan Corcoran provides an objective, unadulterated perspective on the history of the role of the priest in the Catholic Church. Beginning with a historical look at the role of church leaders in the early Christian church, Corcoran expands on the characteristics that modern-day priests need to embody in order to effectively lead and minister to their churchesand honor God. The Potter and His Earthen Vessels also explores the inherent humanity of these men of God, all of whom are imperfectbut in whom God has entrusted his Word, endowing them with special gifts and talents. Priests from all time are Gods earthen vessels, and these servants of God can help make a difference in the lives of believers. Even though the priesthood is changing and has experienced difficulties in the past, a fresh and personal perspective on the lives of men who form the priesthood can offer us a way to understand the necessity of the priesthood for Gods kingdom and our eternal salvation.

Описание: `Ghost notes` is a musical term for sounds barely audible, a wisp lingering around the beat, yet somehow driving the groove. The Texas musicians profiled here, ranging from 1920s gospel performers to the first psychedelic band, are generally not well known, but the impact of their early contributions on popular music is unmistakable.
