The afterlife really does exist. There is an enormous amount of evidence proving that it is so. It has been by confirmed by professors, scientists, doctors, lawyers and even converted sceptics. Some of the more convincing evidence comes from the Scole experiments, cross-correspondence, and solid materializations All of the evidence proves that the personality lives on and that when we die we will meet our loved ones again. We should all look forward to that day. And although there are no churches or religions there, I hope that, like me, it brings you peace of mind. Have a good life.

When Cobb's friend dies by suicide the police say that it is an open and shut case, but Cobb is far from satisfied. He follows his nose and a few psychic intuitions, and what was a simple suicide turns into a series of devilish crimes. Cobb tears himself away from his university lecturing and follows a very dangerous course to put all the clues together. He ends up asking himself the question "how can a dead man have committed these crimes?" It is a very traumatic time in Cobb's life. Not only does he escape death by a hair's breadth, he finds himself having a passionate but loving relationship with a younger woman

The structure of this play is a loosely connected sequence of sketches, some deliberately written for great comic effect, and others pitched in a much lower key. It is about a boy growing up in the period from the end of World War Two to the late 1960s.Large flexible cast

In this unusual and important work, three well-known historians of ideas examine the diverse forms taken in nineteenth-century Britain by the aspiration to develop what was then known as a 'science of politics'. This aspiration encompassed a more extensive and ambitious range of concerns than is implied by the modern term 'political science': in fact, as this book demonstrates, it remained the overarching category under which many nineteenth-century thinkers grouped their attempts to achieve systematic understanding of man's common life. As a result of both the over-concentration on closed abstract systems of thought and the intrusion of concerns which pervade much writing in the history of political theory and of the social sciences, these attempts have since been neglected or misrepresented. By deliberately avoiding such approaches, this book restores the subject to its centrality in the intellectual life and political culture of nineteenth-century Britain.

Treating the practice of history not as an isolated pursuit but as an aspect of human society and an essential part of the culture of the West, John Burrow magnificently brings to life and explains the distinctive qualities found in the work of historians from the ancient Egyptians and Greeks to the present.
With a light step and graceful narrative, he gathers together over 2,500 years of the moments and decisions that have helped create Western identity. This unique approach is an incredible lens with which to view the past. Standing alone in its ambition, scale and fascination, Burrow's history of history is certain to stand the test of time.

This edition, the first of its kind in Piers Plowman studies, aims to establish the archetypal text of the B-version of the poem, the ancestor of all extant manuscripts. The editors claim that this can be determined with certainty in the majority of lines by examining the relationship between the best copies of the alpha and beta families of the B-version stemma. Past editors have attempted to reconstruct the authorial text by extensive emendation, but Burrow and Turville-Petre claim that the archetype was not nearly as corrupt as previously maintained. In Piers Plowman: The B-Version Archetype the editors have opened a new chapter in the study of the B-text tradition.

Not only has Glasgow produced some incredible personalities, it has also been witness to some of the greatest happenings of our times. These outstanding people and epoch-making events are featured in Glasgow: Tales of the City. As a result of painstaking research, some startling new facts have emerged about the life and times of some of the city's most interesting characters. The many individuals documented in this book include the world's greatest pilot, whose many flying feats are still held in great awe today and unlikely ever to be repeated. He was hailed as a hero in America, they gave a him a ticker-tape reception in New York and Hollywood begged him to be a star. More recently, Glasgow was popularised by a TV programme about the city's tough police officer Taggart. The role of the Glasgow detective made Mark McManus one of Scotland's first international TV stars, and Mark's own life story makes equally compelling reading. Before Billy Connolly, Glasgow's greatest-ever comedian was Lex McLean. He smashed all the box-office records in a Glasgow theatre and became a legend in his own lifetime. His story has never before been told in such detail. This is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating studies of Scotland's largest city ever published.

Few cities in the world abound with so many extraordinary stories as Glasgow. The city has been the silent witness to some of the most significant events of the past century, from major triumphs to cataclysmic calamities, and the best of these anecdotes are compiled here to form this unique collection. Amongst the notable events revisited are the launching of the Queen Mary, which captivated the city's inhabitants in 1934, the victorious 16-month work-in campaign by the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders in the early 1970s, the Ibrox disaster of 1971 and the plague that gripped the Gorbals in 1900. Some of Glasgow's most successful people are also covered, including Clydeside revolutionary John Maclean, founder of the Barras Maggie McIver and the inimitable Billy Connolly, whose humour and colourful personality are synonymous with the city. From the Battle of George Square to the bravery of the Glasgow people during the Blitz, Great Glasgow Stories provides an all-encompassing view of the city throughout the eras.

Saddam Hussein sought great power and prestige in the Middle East. He had been secretly researching and developing nuclear weapons for years and he was determined to use them against Israel. He started his Middle East expansion in 1990 when he invaded Kuwait. It was obvious that Saudi Arabia would be his next target. However Saudi Arabia called in their old American and British friends who, with modern weaponry put the Iraqi military and National Guard into an embarrassing and bloody retreat. It had never been the intention of America and Britain to continue on into Iraq so Saddam was allowed to have what remained of his army. Maybe we thought that that would be the end of things but we were wrong. Saddam was hatching a devilish plan which would bring Israel, America and Britain to their knees. This story starts with three, seemingly disconnected, murders in different parts of the world and it ends with a terrible race against time in London and New York.

Cobb finds it difficult to go on. Though he finally brought an end to Kyle, he also lost the meaning to his life. He returns to his university lecturing 'to keep his head on straight' but allows himself to dwell in the past, a time when every day brought new miracles. Now, there could be no more miracles - or could there? Trouble has a way of finding Cobb and it is a strange route he follows, and a number of attempts on his life, before he realizes what is going on. I hope that you have read DEAD AGAIN before reading this sequel since some important events carry over from one to the other. I would appreciate it, too, if you did not disclose the revelations in the early chapters of this book

In visiting vast primitive, far-off woods one naturally expects to find something rare and precious, or something entirely new, but it commonly happens that one is disappointed. Thoreau made three excursions into the Maine woods, and, though he started the moose and the caribou, had nothing more novel to report by way of bird notes than the songs of the wood thrush and the pewee. This was about my own experience in the Adirondacks. The birds for the most part prefer the vicinity of settlements and clearings, and it was at such places that I saw the greatest number and variety.

This book presents an accessible introduction to Maculey's major work with a masterly introduction by John Burrow. Thomas Babington Macaulay's "History of England from the Accession of James II" was his masterwork and one of the great enduring classics of English historical writing. The first two volumes were published in 1848 and achieved a huge success. They were published in numerous editions both in Great Britain and in the United States. This volume in the "Continuum History Series" contains the celebrated third chapter which inherently contributed to the development of social history by presenting a highly contextually relevant extensive survey of English society in the year 1685, in terms of such things as population, cities, classes and tastes. Macaulay's approach to his subject, as John Burrow explains in his masterly introduction, was that of a definite advocate of 'progress'. He saw many real achievements in British and World history as resulting from policies pursued by Whig political interest. 'The history of our country' he wrote 'during the last hundred and sixty years is eminently the history of physical, or moral and of intellectual improvement'. Macaulay's work must be of compelling interest to any student of history today. As a writer of the finest English prose, he is beyond compare.
