Dave Barr knew from 12 years old he wanted to be a Marine. Following a series of menial jobs – including working at a shoe shiner in a barber’s shop and in service stations – at 17 he joined the Marines before shipping out to Vietnam. This was his dream come true – flying as a helicopter gunner – and he ended the war with an impressive 57 Air Medals, one Air Medal for every 20 combat missions. After leaving the Marines, like many veterans, Dave found it hard to hold down a good job and stay out of trouble. It was then that he read about Israel. Always looking for a rush, Dave learnt to skydive before deciding to take his chances – emigrating illegally to Israel. He was inducted into the Israeli Army and then the Paratroopers, where the training was difficult – involving long tough marches, as well as learning Hebrew. After serving his time, he left Israel – and back in the USA, Dave was stuck in a rut and ready for his next adventure. This is the second volume of Dave’s memoirs. Just as rich and colourful an account as the first instalment, the book portrays a professional soldier's view of the ‘sharp end’ of war. Following on from his time in the Israeli Army paratroopers, Dave travelled to Rhodesia and fought alongside the Rhodesian Light Infantry. His next assignment was with the South African Defence Force in operations in South West Africa and Angola. Then came the fateful day and near fatal injuries as a result of a land mine explosion. Almost a year later following 20 operations and Dave was finally allowed back onto active duty and doing what he did best, being a soldier. Autorid: Dave Barr

Corinna Lim is the Institute of Policy Studies' 8th S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book is an edited collection of her three IPS-Nathan Lectures, delivered in April and May 2021, and includes highlights of her question-and-answer segments with our virtual audience. Ms Lim examines the most pressing concerns facing women in Singapore, contributing her insights to the national gender equality review. She analyses why gender equality in the workplace and home has not advanced more despite Singapore's promising start in the 1960s with the introduction of the Women's Charter and gender-neutral education. She looks at what Singapore should do to accelerate gender equality, and tackles the issues of masculine norms that are harmful, support for family caregiving, and comprehensive sex education in Singapore. The IPS-Nathan Lecture series was launched in 2014 as part of the S R Nathan Fellowship for the Study of Singapore. It seeks to advance public understanding and discussion of issues of critical national interest for Singapore. Autorid: Corinna Lim

How many times have you spotted an empty site and dreamt about developing it? And how many times have you given up because you didn't know where to start? Perhaps you couldn't track down the landowner or you didn't have the money? Many architects have built their own house, but few have made the leap to become a fully-fledged developer. Architects are in a strong position to release value from sites because their training means they can spot opportunities and creative solutions that a developer often misses. Featuring illustrated case studies and practical guidance, this is the first book aimed at the first-time architect developer that covers every stage of the development process, from finding land through to raising capital, understanding risk and marketing and selling. Featuring projects by: Breathe Architecture, Burd Haward Architects, ByOthers, Craftworks, Edgley Design, George Ferguson, Harrison Hunt, John Kinsley Architects, Liddicoat & Goldhill, Matheson Whiteley, Mikhail Riches, Nelson | Wright, Raw Property, Sjölander da Cruz, Studioshaw, Tamarkin Co andTurner Works.

Big money and municipal politics collide in the story of Edmonton’s Rogers Place hockey arena. When the Rogers Place arena opened in downtown Edmonton in September 2016, no amount of buzz could drown out the rumours of manipulation, secret deals, and corporate greed undergirding the project. Working with documentary evidence and original interviews, the authors present an absorbing account of the machinations that got the arena and the adjacent Ice District built, with a price tag of more than $600 million. The arena deal, they argue, established a costly public financing precedent that people across North America should watch closely, as many cities consider building sports facilities for professional teams or international competitions. Their analysis brings clarity and nuance to a case shrouded in secrecy and understood by few besides political and business insiders. Power Play tells a dramatic story about clashing priorities where sports, money, and municipal power meet. Autorid: Jay Scherer, David Mills, Linda Sloan McCulloch

British Railways modernisation plan permitted individual regions to specify locomotives to fit their own requirements rather than opt for a one size fits all policy. As a result, the Southern Region with its third rail network ended up with some very specialised locomotives. Its thrifty reuse and rebuild policy also influenced this. The Class 09 shunters stayed entirely on the Southern until privatisation. The Class 71s and the rebuilt Class 74s were all bar one example scrapped very early on. The Class 33s and Class 73s have over the years trundled well off the Southern, and the fact that many Class 73s are still in everyday service after sixty years shows how versatile they are bi-modes decades before it became fashionable. Andy Gibbs revisits Southern Region locomotives and charts their spread across the country during the 1970s and 1980s with a variety of fascinating and previously unpublished photographs.
