ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2008). (2007) 2008 paperback reprint. Small 8vo (140 x 213mm). Ppx,227,ad. Not illustrated. Remainder mark to bottom edge but a good second-hand paperback. Good bedside reading. "The backcountry characters of Kerplunk! know very well that a life of hunting and fishing can mean a life of misadventure. They understand, for instance, how not to net a fish, what to do when a deer wanders into camp but your sleeping bag has frozen shut, and the inevitability of bird-dog flatulence. They also understand the importance of metaphor, and why you should always listen for the sound of your fishing line hitting the water - because in life as it is in fishing, you don't know you're in the water until you hear the kerplunk! Often nostalgic, occasionally philosophical, and always funny, this collection of wry, curmudgeonly tales reaffirms bestselling author Patrick F. McManus as an American classic." .

He was the first African-American Secretary of State. He served as the 15th United States National Security Advisor from 1987 to 1989 and as the 12th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993. Colin Powell opened up to journalist Bob Woodward about his health struggles in what is believed to have been his last interview before his death. âDonât say no and donât feel sorry for me, for godâs sakes. Iâm (almost) 85 years old,â Powell said after telling Woodward about battling multiple myeloma for nearly two years. âI havenât lost a day of life fighting these two diseases. Iâm in good shape.â.
