    Gil Jackson

    FANCY A JOB AS AN APPRENTICE COMPOSITOR*?(*a snotty-nosed subclass of the primitive species Homo erectus)A tongue-in-cheek autobiography of an apprentice compositor learning his trade in London’s Old Covent Garden during the so-called swinging ’Sixties, when youth culture was, for the first time, finding an identity in a post-war Britain.Chapters include:The composer (music critics need not apply).Trots and trotting (Deli belly? Worse than that!).A wet lunch (bring your own blotting paper).Tickets, please! (I'm an apprentice, inspector - we're exempt).A suspected criminal for a day (it wasn't me guv'nor, honest).Soho! (the cultural quarter of London).Swearing (and other terms of endearment).For this is,A GUFFAW OF RIB-TICKLING TALES, ANECDOTES AND STORIES GUARANTEED TO SPLIT YOUR SIDES LAUGHING!And one, with a CLICK, that will educate the reader in the finer points of robbing The London Underground blind, before getting caught.What kind of reader would enjoy your book?Not necessarily one that has an interest in the printing industry. Although they might have. No, it would be a person that has an interest in nostalgia for a world that is no longer there. Just a memory. A reader that enjoys humour, with hopefully, occasional overtones of thought provoking seriousness that will bring him or her away from the page for a moment to reflect. Bring a nod of affirmity, a tear to the eye perhaps, as they reflect on their own experiences of life and family.CUSTOMER REVIEWSA must read for allGreat read couldn't put it down, lots of laughs. Verified PurchaseA fascinating look back at the sixties in LondonA fascinating look back at the sixties in London and into the printing industry. I'm a little younger than Gil, not working in London until the Seventies, but many things were still the same then. I have given five stars although there are quite a few typos. Fell free to tap me for proof reading. Ron Cummins. Published on Amazon.comAuthors Note: Typos all fixed Ron. Thanks for checking. Gil.

  • Slow Getting Up: A Story of NFL Survival from the Bottom of the Pile

    Nate Jackson

    Hardcover (Harper, Sept. 17, 2013)
    Nate Jackson’s Slow Getting Up is an unvarnished and uncensored memoir of everyday life in the most popular sports league in America—and the most damaging to its players—the National Football League.After playing college ball at a tiny Division III school, Jackson, a receiver, signed as a free agent with the San Francisco 49ers, before moving to the Denver Broncos. For six seasons in the NFL as a Bronco, he alternated between the practice squad and the active roster, eventually winning a starting spot—a short, tenuous career emblematic of the average pro player.Drawing from his own experience, Jackson tells the little known story of the hundreds of everyday, "expendable" players whose lives are far different from their superstar colleagues.From scouting combines to training camps, off-season parties to game-day routines, debilitating physical injuries—including degenerative brain conditions—to poor pensions and financial distress, he offers a funny, and shocking look at life in the NFL, and the young men who risk their health and even their lives to play the game.
  • Dirty Old London: The Victorian Fight Against Filth

    Lee Jackson

    Hardcover (Yale University Press, Nov. 25, 2014)
    In Victorian London, filth was everywhere: horse traffic filled the streets with dung, household rubbish went uncollected, cesspools brimmed with "night soil," graveyards teemed with rotting corpses, the air itself was choked with smoke. In this intimately visceral book, Lee Jackson guides us through the underbelly of the Victorian metropolis, introducing us to the men and women who struggled to stem a rising tide of pollution and dirt, and the forces that opposed them.Through thematic chapters, Jackson describes how Victorian reformers met with both triumph and disaster. Full of individual stories and overlooked details—from the dustmen who grew rich from recycling, to the peculiar history of the public toilet—this riveting book gives us a fresh insight into the minutiae of daily life and the wider challenges posed by the unprecedented growth of the Victorian capital.

  • Sacred Hoops: Spiritual Lessons of a Hardwood Warrior

    Phil Jackson

    eBook (Hachette Books, Oct. 9, 2012)
    With a new introduction, Phil Jackson's modern classic of motivation, teamwork, and Zen insight is updated for a whole new readership"Not only is there more to life than basketball, there's a lot more to basketball than basketball." --Phil JacksonEleven years ago, when Phil Jackson first wrote these words in Sacred Hoops, he was the triumphant head coach of the Chicago Bulls, known for his Zen approach to the game. He hadnt yet moved to the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he would bring his total to an astounding nine NBA titles. In his thought-provoking memoir, he revealed how he directs his players to act with a clear mind--not thinking, just doing; to respect the enemy and be aggressive without anger or violence; to live in the moment and stay calmly focused in the midst of chaos; to put the "me" in service of the "we"--all lessons applicable to any person's life, not just a professional basketball player's. This inspiring book went on to sell more than 400,000 copies.In his new introduction, Jackson explains how the concepts in Sacred Hoops are relevant to the issues facing his current team--and today's reader.
