When Kasper is seven, his mother steals him away from London and takes him to India. His new life is dream-like: no formal education, the freedom to explore, and the mascot-like status the spiritual community confers on him. Then one day his mother is gone and Kasper must find his own path. Liftman is about the search for home, belonging, identity and truth.

Finding the Constitution is a detailed and highly readable account of English constitutional history. It examines the gripping story of the origins of the nation's system of government and asks whether there was a common law Constitution and where surviving institutions came from. In seventeen, easily searchable, parts the reader is introduced to customary law, statute law, conventions, Indo-European roots, the coming together of thirty-nine nations across the island, the effects of the Norman invasion, feudal emancipation, the Reformation, colonialism and the emergence of the parliamentary party system right up to Brexit. Perhaps the most important conclusion of this book is that, given how the current system of government does not accord with the Constitution in common law, which overrides statute law and was never rescinded by the people, it must still be the law of the land.

¿¿A child refugee from the London Blitz starts as a lab assistant, becomes head of European research on radioactive waste disposal and then... A tale of joy and heartache, with family at the heart, from London's East End to Exeter in the South West. Ron Sambell has lived many lives - cowman, publican, scientist, poet, scout - in several places, from London's East End, via Reading, to Exeter in the South West, from where his family originated. But always at the heart is his family (especially his beloved wife and six children). Episodes in this book could come from the autobiography of many of us, but it is given to few to create as rich a tapestry. Change and seizing your chance are central motifs and Ron shares his memories of being a child refugee from the London Blitz who discovers farm life; of adapting to new schools; of making his way from hospital porter to laboratory assistant at Harwell's Atomic Energy Research Establishment, to heading up European Research on the Disposal of Radioactive Wastes (the first to reach those dizzy heights without a degree). But when he leaves the world of science, he continues to enrich his life through scouting, by owning a pub, travelling, writing and playing bowls and bridge. He tells his tale with joy and heartache, warts and all. Older readers will rediscover long-gone familiar scenes, younger readers will hope to have as rich a journey. Along the way Ron saw how important Exeter Hospice is to the county's care network and is donating all proceeds from the sale of this book to Exeter Hospiscare.

Phil Carroll takes us on his global odyssey of voyages as a deck cadet in the early-1980s. It was the cusp of change in the merchant navy as containerisation began to dominate world shipping. Heady weeks 'on the coast' in traditional cargo ships in old ports, giving way to fleeting visits by 'box boats' to swanky new concrete container wharves, miles from town. He vividly describes his worldwide adventures at sea and in port in a male-dominated environment of British officers and Chinese, Barbadian, and UK crews. Interwoven in his narrative are nuggets of maritime history and simple technical descriptions, bringing a bygone seafaring era to life. Sea experience consolidated his studies in college to earn his Second Mate's ticket, the climax of his cadetship.

This book is based on true facts in the life of a young lad from Gateshead, in northeast England. Geordie lived in a one-bedroom, upstairs flat with his Mam, his Dad and his seven brothers and sisters. He had a way of attracting trouble and the police were forever at the front door. At the age of eight fate struck him a blow that would change his life forever after an accident triggered epileptic fits. This is the story of how Geordie coped when his life changed dramatically and he was sent to an institution in the south of England.

Richard - or Dick, as he is more widely known - has proven to be a natural storyteller.His book is full of human interest and reflects the essential nature of its author: generous, simple-hearted in the best sense, interested in his fellow human beings, ready to appreciate the funny side of life and to take its hard knocks without losing his integrity - a gift he learnt early in life.Dick wanted to write this book as a memento for his family (including the twins, born after the events in this story). He then discovered that there was widespread interest among his old army acquaintances as soon as they had wind of its existence.The number of photographs in which he appears was not his choice, but what could he do when opposed by a couple of enthusiastic women? The first on the scene was Alison Black, wormer out of additional anecdotes from a series of fascinating conversations; general proofreader and (unnecessarily, says the second) prepared to carry the can for any defects in the rendering of the Scots dialogue. The second, Alison Shakspeare, combined the roles of editor, designer, typesetter and fascinated reader.We trust that family and friends alike will find much to enjoy as memories are stirred and perhaps new facets of his life are revealed in these pages.
