'Having a dad - for want of a better word - who was a wife-beater,
a drunk, a thief, a burglar and an idle, lazy, work-shy, vain,
narcissistic egotist encouraged me to start work early...' Nick
Clements didn't just get a job, he became his criminal father's
worst nightmare by joining the police force and becoming a
fearless, determined and mould-breaking young copper. This is the
story of how it happened, rich with humour and horror, danger and
excitement, passion and illicit sex, marital joy and strife,
triumphs and setbacks. Above all, the memoir tells of a young man's
determination to escape his past (overcoming a crippling stutter
along the way) and prove himself as a fearless representative of
the law. 'Think of this as 'Billy Elliott' meets 'The Sweeney' and
you'll have the gist of it.'
Roger Cologne is an Alpha Boy. He has all the trappings of success
- the looks, car, flat, and a high-powered job. He doesn't do
relationships. He is a collector of conquests without consequence.
By unexpectedly becoming a father and receiving redundancy he
discovers there is more to life. He is forced to start his personal
development journey. He seeks to learn more about himself as well
as entering a meaningful relationship. By doing so, he moves
towards becoming an Alpha Wolf. Written by Professor Nick Clements,
one of the world's foremost experts on masculinity and rites of
passage, this compelling story allows us to gain understanding and
insight into the modern man's journey. Combining humour, wisdom and
emotionally charged stories the book explains how a lot of men
think and experience the separate worlds of work, relationships and
feelings. It is full of advice and guidance for us all, and
incorporates exercises and life style development work which has
been practiced by hundreds of people over the last 20 years.
