Despite the flat earthers who will not accept what everyone from NASA to Stephen Hawking, to Harvard to Yale to Oxford to Cambridge to the American Academy of Sciences has - that climate change is deadly serious and caused by human activity - this book shows exactly why you should be getting involved and tking this issue seriously. It explains how the world started to wake up to what is happening. If you want to know who has tried to stop us from taking any action read the brilliant and essential BOILING POINT by the Pulitzer prize winning author Ross Gelbspan

I really enjoyed this book. Being new to Wen Spencer, I didn't have a lot of preconceived ideas when it came to her books. This book approaches the fanasty romance in a whole new way. Lets get this out of the way first, it is more of a romance than a fanasty and it will appeal more to females than males.
The novel is based in a world where are 20-30 women to every man and sisters share one or maybe two husbands (if they are lucky). Men are the property of their sisters and the sale or swop of these men are how girls get a husband.

In this setting, a family of Landed Sisters descended from soliders save ... Read More:

I first read this book in 1995 while studying for my first degree and felt that it offered an excellent and ground breaking analysis of the Battle of Goose Green. Thirteen years later and my opinion has not changed. It remains one of the very best military history books I have read. I feel the need to write a review of it now because the other reviews here have either failed to do it justice or have missed the point.
Not Mentioned in Despatches is the fullest and most complete account of the Battle of Goose Green yet written. It is based on the author's Ph.D. thesis `Tactics, Command and Military Culture: A Study of 2 PARA at Darwin-Goose Green'. It is therefore an academic work and an absolute must have for the serious military ... Read More:

A Prog Rock chameleon, a musical surgeon of the psyche, a surrealistic singer and mask wearer, a true champion of and for World Music; Peter Gabriel is and has been all of these (and many more besides). It therefore takes a brave author to write a biography of him - myth as well as man - and Spencer Bright, one of our foremost rock journalists, fills the role admirably. Researched as exhaustively as one would expect this is a true "warts and all" book with no interview ignored, no theory dismissed in Bright's quest to discover his subject. If at times the prose sounds sugary and idyllic ("The River Bourne, as it flowed through Deep Pool Farm, brought out Peter Gabriel's boyhood sense of adventure.") then it somehow acts to enhance ...

I found this a useful insight into the treatment of Sex Offenders in our criminal justice system. If this is a subject that interests you then its worth using this book as part your research.

Wish I had Ms Spencer's ability to use words that make you feel that you know the people and places that she is describing, and more importantly, care what happens to them. Brilliant!!! Characters in her book are allowed to be what we all are, flawed, imperfect, plain and none the worse for all this.
