Britain, Palestine and Empire: The Mandate Years

In 1948, British troops withdrew from the Palestinian lands, ending over 30 years of the British Mandate of Palestine. What followed in the area now known as Israel, Palestine, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, has been well-documented and is perhaps one of the most intractable problems of the post-imperial age. However, relatively little has been written about the years of the British mandate and the long-standing connection between Britain and Palestine in the years up to May 1948.

The Everything Alternative Careers Book: Leave the Office Behind and Embark on a New AdventureThe Everything Alternative Careers Book: Leave the Office Behind and Embark on a New Adventure

The writer describes a variety of unique and creative careers. He discusses the pros and cons of these jobs and what you need to do to get them. As hack writing goes, this guy has flashes of impish insight and wicked wit within the mostly pedestrian prose. It was probably written quickly under deadline pressure for a small amount of money. However, the author succeeds in fulfilling the mandate for a book of this kind. It is what it claims to be, no more, no less: an informative, how-to guide.
