Take a Transit Minibus, a full-sized roof-rack loaded with camping equipment, 14 passengers, plus a driver armed with road maps of Europe, Asia and Africa and you have a phenomenon that was to be a character-forming and life-changing experience for a generation of travellers. That phenomenon was "overland". For the first time, young people had an affordable way to travel in the relative safety of a group to what, for many, had previously been inaccessible, and possibly dangerous, places. Overland brought together larger-than-life characters, involved some epic journeys and created unforgettable memories. The late 60s and early 70s was a period of Woodstock, peace, love and flower power - and a feeling of freedom was in the air. The fruits of the post-war baby boom were discovering and celebrating this new-found freedom and the time was ripe for this travel phenomenon to take off.This is a story of how a broken relationship and the urge to break out led the author, in his early twenties and raised on an Essex council estate in the 50s/60s, to take his first trip abroad as a passenger on an overland trip to Morocco in September 1969, (he admits to being so naïve at the time that he thought Morocco was somewhere in the South of France), encountering an individual who happened to be a master at concocting a cock-and-bull story which eventually landed him a job as an overland driver.He suddenly found himself inducted into the University of Life, spending the next four years on a hectic, challenging and adventurous journey across three continents, travelling extensively through Europe, Asia, India and Africa; watching the sunrise over Mount Everest, driving overnight through winter blizzards in the Anatolian mountains of Eastern Turkey and waking in the Sahara just before dawn in a complete sound vacuum. Along the way, he met some amazing, interesting and colourful characters and made lifelong friendships - and went ten-pin bowling with the Prince of Afghanistan!

The arguments of this essay cover three broadly related topics. The first is concerned with ontological thinking as it has evolved over the last 900 years under the pressure of scientific and technological development.This historical sketch provides the background and context for a re-examination, in the second part, of the nature of conceptual thinking, intuition, the role of heuristic modelling, the function of language, and the fallibility of the human mind, and, in the third, of the interiority of human experience, subjectivity, self-awareness, personal identity, jeopardy, autonomy, and freedom.By re-analyzing these concepts, we can hope to create better maps of the complex inter-dependencies between the structures of conceptual thinking and the experience of an inner life that determine the human condition.

A survivor's account of what working in the fashion/clothing industry is really like. From junior designer for chain-store suppliers in the Swinging Sixties to creating her own unique range of tweed country-wear, Jill Fitzgerald-O'Connor was part of the first wave of women entrepreneurs, and became the first woman business counsellor in the North-East for the Small Firms Service. When her business was wiped out by Thatcher's privatisation of the British Wool Marketing Board, she turned to vocational education, her passion for textiles and enthusiasm for passing on her skills leading her to create innovative methods of teaching which led the country, preparing students for the fashion industry, and enabling home-dressmakers to make clothes that looked shop-bought.

A true story of damaged childhood, turbulent adolescence and a descent into alcohol and drugs and the consequent peripatetic lifestyle of a 'down and out'. The reader is carried along with graphic and revealing descriptions of the 'psychedelic' late 60s and early 70s, whilst also highlighting the isolation experienced through the author's inability to make meaningful relationships. His searing poetry magnifies in places both his anger and sadness in adolescence, which led to the apparent irredeemable hopelessness of a lost soul......and then, the beginnings of redemption and re-emergence. This through family, friendship and the loving support of a 50-year rock-solid relationship, in the security of a place to call home. Then finally, the remarkable ending of depression, overcome through the moving experience of coming to know God and being healed.

Written by Molly Kingsley, Arabella Skinner and Ben Kingsley, executive members of the campaigning organisation UsForThem, this book forensically exposes how UK Ministers and senior government officials were repeatedly able to make poor quality policy decisions during the pandemic period with only limited scrutiny and too often with catastrophic consequences for the lives of millions. The authors have meticulously evidenced how ethics, good governance, truth, integrity and transparency were grossly compromised during the pandemic period, and how these factors and a deficit of accountability created the conditions for what fast became an economic, social, medical, ethical and child safeguarding disaster. Danny Kruger MP provides a powerfully candid afterword.

These three playlets are not meant as serious drama. They are designed to be performed at charitable events as a fund-raising medium. While each is self-contained, they form an ongoing narrative and with a little ingenuity could perhaps, if required, be amalgamated as a single performance.Traditionally, however, the evening should consist of a three-course meal (as simple as you like) plus coffee, the courses to be served after each act in turn. Tables should be set for a maximum of six diners each, who will form teams competing to suggest a solution to the mystery. Prizes should be offered for successful detection.The first playlet, The Garnermoor Inheritance, requires very little technical provision; the other two are slightly more demanding, but should not be beyond the capability of an amateur group.Provided that the script is followed reasonably closely, the director has absolute discretion as to how the playlets are presented.Go for it!

From a place of freedomTold from the perspective of Kerry, this is the harrowing account of growing up on the welfare state in 1970's North-West Britain. It is a deeply personal attempt to make sense of the daily struggles and spiritual battles that beset the family. It is a tale of angels and demons, abandonment and betrayal, despair and suffering and of always looking for the light in the deep dark maze of their existence.This memoir began as a letter to the author's father, granting him forgiveness for his actions, after a therapy session in 2010. Many memories have been omitted due to their delicate nature."For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)Dedicated to all the unseen and unheard children.

'Britain Betrayed' is the third book in the trilogy by Sue Wood about the shortcomings and inadequacies of this Conservative government. Written as a diary she has recounted day by day and sometimes hour by hour, the negligence and corruption and self-interest of a Tory government who believe that there is one law for us and no law whatsoever for them. Your story could well be here as she writes about the NHS, our children, women, small businesses, the criminal courts,Con farmers and the fishing industry, the arts, hospitality, and refugees. She exposes ministers who break the ministerial code, who bring in draconian new laws, who are accused of bullying tactics and who use inflammatory and provocative language. The premierships of Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak are all written about in a chatty style which is very easy to read. This is an important historical account for anyone who asks why this Tory government failed. The reasons are all here.
