Set in the mid-1980s between Canada and Thailand, The Two Faces of Paradise rockets Ted Smith onto into the scene with this skillful debut. After being conscripted into service by his older brother, Robert Percy reluctantly agrees to return to South-East Asia to find his missing niece-by-marriage, Edith Weston. Armed with little more than grave misgivings and an unruly collection of skeletons in his backpack, Robert sets out for Thailand in search of Edith: daughter of privilege, spurious deserter, one-time confidant and clandestine lover. The Two Faces of Paradise is a treatise on travel and the internal journey of the traveller. It is a redemption story of family, devastating loss, and love.

A former R.A.F. pilot tells the true story of air-to-ground combat in World War II. Before his eighteenth birthday E.A.W. "Ted" Smith was in the British Royal Air Force where he served five years on over thirty RAF bases in South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, England, Scotland, France, Belgium, and Holland. Joining the RAF 127 Squadron after D-Day as a fighter and bomber pilot, he flew Spitfire aircraft on ninety missions, a third of which were bombing attacks while the land forces were beating back the German army beyond the Rhine. Following the war in 1946, he became one of the world''s first jet pilots, flying Gloucester Meteors on 74 Squadron. Smith kept a diary of his exploits in World War II, and this was the basis for Spitfire Diaries. Smith immigrated to the United States in 1948 and eventually became the general manager of Lady Bird Johnson''s radio stations, KLBJ-AM and KLBJ-FM in December of 1980 in Austin, Texas.

The prevalence of hidden disabilities and conditions cannot be underestimated: in the UK, one in five people have a disability, and eighty per cent of these disabilities are not obvious to others. Through conversations with volunteer interviewees, this book highlights the wide range of hidden disabilities and conditions that exist in the workplace, and suggests appropriate accommodations that organisations can make to help their employees play a full part in society. Ted Smith is the author of the award-nominated Human Resources A to Z: A Practical Field Guide for People Managers. He''s a senior human resources and organisation development consultant who has been working on a significant project to make workplaces more inclusive for those with hidden disabilities and conditions. That research has led to this informative and practical guide. All profits from the sale of this book will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.
