Christie, Hanratty, The Krays ... murderers haunt the mind. We read
about them in the press with horrified curiosity and, if we're
lucky, this is as close as we get. But Home Office Pathologise
Keith Simpson spent forty years in the very midst of murder. This
is his autobiography. The late Professor Keith Simpson became the
first Professor of Forensic Medicine at London University and
lectured on the subject to other doctors, lawyers, police officers
and magistrates at home and all over the world. He pioneered
forensic dentistry, and for the first time identified a suspected
murderer by teeth marks left on the victim's body. He was
responsible for the first successful 'battered baby' prosecution in
England, and perhaps one of his greatest contributions has been to
save the lives of countless babies by disseminating information on
the syndrome and getting it recognized and controlled. This is the
bestselling autobiography of the man who was always at the scene of
the crime. In describing his celebrated investigations he spares
his readers none of the chilling details: the whip-marks, the
maggots, the skeletal remains, which proved the innocence of so
many men and women...and sent so many more to the gallows.
This book, originally published in 1981, tells the story of the
regular soldiers and reservists of the British Expeditionary Force
(B. E. F.) who fought in the first six months of the First World
War on the Western Front. This photographic history of the B. E. F.
is unique in that the photographs were taken not by official war
photographers, but either by the few press photographers who were
able to get near the Front or by members of the B. E. F themselves.
Complementing the photographs are many first-hand accounts of their
experiences by 'Old Contemptibles' and an authoritative text by
Keith Simpson.

Life is constant assimilation of information. We vary greatly in
what is of interest to us and how we process it. One thing is sure;
we all have the ability to learn. This process begins when we are
children and first realize that there is something out there. Some
of us are taught to wonder while others of us are taught not to
ask. As we develop, we store information in different ways. Some
ask and understand while others have to experience things to
remember them. The information presented in this "Six Phase
Approach" is organized in a transitional format that progresses
from clarification, discovery and understanding our actions, to
reunification through willingness and change into a level of
experience and self-security wherein one may honorably lead others
into a new lifestyle of personal prosperity.
