The final collection of poems by a scientist and poet near the end of an extraordinary life. They reflect on unusual incidents in his life and comment on contemporary concerns of life today. Comments covering politics, current conflicts across the world, impacts of climate change, and other concerns are treated with clarity and insight. Some may challenge the reader. Others may reflect concerns shared by the reader. The narrative style of the poems makes them accessible to a wide range of people who have not read poetry since school.The poems comment on life today in the context of someone whose father worked in provincial administration in the Sudan and who had an extraordinary life in his childhood and youth, including active service during his National Service. With a degree in Natural Sciences at Cambridge, he worked in a Field Centre, then as a medical entomologist working in tropical forests in Belize and Cameroon, then in charge of a field centre and nature reserve in Yorkshire and then as a Research Fellow based in the Department of Zoology University of Cambridge, researching the extraordinary habits of scuttle flies across the world. Several poems indicate that his wife, of a working-class background, was the gifted support throughout, along with their 3 children. Concern for the environment, the impact of climate change, wars worldwide and bureaucratic nonsense gave rise to several poems whose insights and comments may surprise. These impacts on ordinary people link these concerns to our everyday lives.Henry Disney has been writing poems since his youth, with his first collection being published in 1963.

The wealthy and reclusive Harry Quirke, misanthropist and student of the piano works of Alkan, is stabbed to death in his country house outside Tadcaster. Only one of the obvious suspects seems to have much of a motive: his alibi is shaky, it is true, but there is no proof of his involvement. DI Moat and his assistant DS Stockwell follow one false lead after another in an exasperating investigation that seems to be getting nowhere: a gypsy caravan, an old murder in Kansas, the hurried will of a dying man, a golf-course green and an unfinished catalogue of Alkan's works - none of it seems to make sense. Finally, the murderer makes the smallest of slips, and the penny drops - but it's a close thing!Book reviews online @ www.publishedbestsellers.com

A Personal commentary on Fredericus Svane Africanus' autobiographyThe Theologian Slave Trader explores the life of Fredericus Petersen, a mulatto adopted in 1710 by a Danish Lutheran Priest at Christiansborg Fort in what is now Ghana and who was subsequently brought back to Denmark as a teenager. The Danish king, no less, Frederik IV, was his godfather. Fredericus Petersen wrote a compelling autobiography which for many years has been largerly ignored. In The Theologian Slave Trader, Dr Christiana Oware Knudsen, herself a Ghanaian who for 50 years has lived in Denmark, brings this autobiography, The General Declaration, to life and contemporary relevance by contextualising Africanus' experience within a personal commentary on her personal family history in Ghana. Dr Knudsen approaches this historical material with the lively and engaging approach of an African story-teller, interweaving historical facts with family legends and documented impressions of the period. In so doing, she also poses a number of challenging contemporary questions about aspects of our understanding of slavery and inter-cultural relations.Book reviews online @ www.publishedbestsellers.com

This book brings clarity to many pertinent questions on healing; it is balanced, full of practical relevance and spiritual depth. The mix between theological arguments and spiritual truth is striking. It is not the typical, sometimes shallow Pentecostal expose but provides historical, biblical and practical perspectives that leave the title of the book fair and representative. 'The Wholesome Truth about Healing' is an excellent writ; worth every page it is written on and comes highly recommend to every Christian....Dr Albert Odulele, Senior Pastor, Glory House Churches, International "e;This is a powerful book in an age where secularism, humanism and pluralism are invading the Church and its teachings; it is refreshing to have a prophetic voice bring us back to basics. This volume is academic, intellectual, informative but inspirational all at the same time. Its pages drip with depth and insight gleaned from years of learning and empirical study. This message of healing needs to be heard by every hearing ear and yearning heart."e;...Dr Jonathan Oloyede, Borough Dean - Newham, Churches Together in EnglandThe "e;Wholesome truth about healing"e; is indeed a complete and systematic presentation of biblical truths that uphold our heritage of healing.

Christians of all theological persuasions would definitely find it most helpful. The book is essential reading for pastors, leaders, counselors, bible scholars and Christians alike....Mr Richard Oyin-Adeniji, Project Coordinator, BASIC Trust InternationalBook reviews online @ www.publishedbestsellers.com

Thornaby, 1930, saw the formation of 608 squadron Auxiliary Air Force. Remembered by some veterans as "e;the kipper patrol,"e; their job as part of Coastal Command, involved protecting shipping convoys, looking for submarines and defending the northern supply routes. Although their role was never seen as glamorous and never received national glory, nonetheless, they played a significant part in the defence of the United Kingdom. This book tells the story of young pilots such as Geoffrey Ambler, Geoffrey Shaw, William Appleby-Brown and Peter Vaux, and airmen such as Albert Guy, Harold Coppick and Syd Buckle, and considers how their lives were dramatically changed with the onset of the Second World War, which saw them cease to be part-timers and become full time members of the Royal Air Force. The Kipper Patrol serves as an insight into the history of this squadron, as well as the history of Thornaby Aerodrome itself. It uses as its basis, a series of interviews with veterans from the squadron and presents their memories of squadron life, along with many of their personal photographs. The book provides an insight into relationships between officers and other ranks within a military organisation and shows how these relationships changed over time.The Kipper Patrol provides a long awaited history of a squadron remembered by many local people, and recognised by both the Airman Memorial and the replica Spitfire. It serves as a lasting memory to both the squadron and the aerodrome, and in particular, to the many veterans who so willingly gave up their time to share their memories.Book reviews online @ www.publishedbestsellers.com
