{"product_id":"one-mans-life-michael-plewes-9781844013852","title":"One Man's Life","description":"This unique record of one man's life reveals him to be a highly enterprising and determined person. Although he does not claim 'any earth-shattering achievements', the story of his very individual and varied life makes for absorbing reading. He has a great deal to tell. He starts with a brief history of his parents, followed by an account of his own school days during the Second World War. As a young adult his stint in the Merchant Navy takes him to foreign climes but ill-health forces him to rethink his future. He does not, however, lose his thirst for adventure, and together with his wife, emigrates to Australia. The author has a remarkable talent for remembering people and events. Place names, work duties, dates - all are recalled seemingly without effort. He also describes his unending quest for new projects and experiences, from fire fighting to mastering the use of a computer. Photographs throughout the book complement his anecdotes beautifully. It is a privilege to share in this man's personal journey through life which is recounted with such a pleasing mix of warmth, humour and candour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Plewes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844013855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844013852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Generation Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Michael Plewes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761322029311,"sku":"9781844013852","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ec602c2-e409-48e0-8c80-d86879639b14.jpg?v=1706680999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-mans-life-michael-plewes-9781844013852","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
