On Christmas Eve, New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) is
visiting his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) in Los Angeles,
where she works. They are attending a party at Holly's high-rise
office block when terrorists, led by the suave Hans Gruber (Alan
Rickman) break in, taking everyone hostage. McClane manages to
evade capture, however, and sets out to rescue his wife and the
other prisoners. It is not long before he is running barefoot over
shattered glass (ouch!) in a sweaty vest, muttering 'Yippy kay aye'
as he dispatches the baddies with bullets and a certain earthy wit.
Join internationally recognized sensory neuroscientist Robert Davis
as he examines the latest experimental evidence and theories of
existence after "death." This treatment is comprehensive in scope
and combines the most recent experimental and anecdotal evidence.
Davis explores the potential for an afterlife through the analysis
of case studies, interviews, and researched findings of near-death
and out-of-body experiences, mediumship, apparitions, psychic
explanations, and reincarnation. In addition, he examines
evidence-based scientific theories that include the multiverse,
biologic brain activity, consciousness-brain connection, and many
others. Davis offers compelling data in an unbiased presentation to
answer the age-old question: Is death really the end of life or is
there life after death?

This enjoyable new book delves into unexplored areas of history
surrounding the great network of the West Midland Canals. It
provides a new insight into its most fascinating figures and
places, including interviews with some of the last true boatmen,
whose world disappeared forever during the turbulent 1960s. It
reveals fascinating figures like John Corbett, who became one of
the richest men in Britain during the 19th century, through salt
and canals. He built a fabulous chateau for his unfaithful wife on
the outskirts of Droitwich that can still be visited today. We also
have an account of how the Droitwich Canals have been wonderfully
restored to the navigation system, with old and new photographs
depicting the changes. And not forgetting such pivotal characters
such as Boulton and Watt, who were an essential part of the canal
story. We at The History Press are sure that this book will appeal
to canal enthusiasts and all who love the West Midlands with its
amazing Waterways.
