Softcover. Zustand: Good. Book Description Publication Date: October 1, 2012Wonderment: A Love Affair with Adventure, Writing, Travel, Philosophy, and Family Life keeps the action going from the author's innocent childhood introduction to sex to the danger and suspense of driving a waterlogged tunnel in the Greek mountains. This is the first-person story of a lifelong writer who was born with an insatiable curiosity and a lust for adventure. In Wonderment he explores a giant-sized slice of life through a story of human relationships and romance, a career in science and media, and world travel, seasoned with humor and reinforced with spirituality. This is his sixth book.Here's a synopsis in one single sentence: After spending most of his early years in World War II England, an asthmatic boy arrives by chance in the middle of Utah, spends his first US years as a student and printer's devil in a small Mormon town, develops his life goals in college, and flees to Bermuda, starting a roller-coaster life in which he becomes a science writer and world traveler, a philosopher with a deep respect for American Indians, a top-secret-cleared government executive, and a twice-divorced father of three who, after surviving multiple near-death experiences, becomes a "citizen of the world" with residences in New Mexico and London, content with most of his life goals realized.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. "It's my 40th birthday today and I'm trying to smile, but as I look in the mirror all I can see is an empty shell, someone waiting to die. You could never tell that anything was wrong with me by just looking at me, as I dress clean and I keep myself tidy, and I have a smile on my face that hides my emotions and over the years I've become an expert at hiding behind it" This is the shocking true story of an innocent girl abused by the very people who said they would take good care of her. Lilly's family began the path to her destruction - they used and abused her - but they never ever wanted or loved her. The little girl was sexually physically and emotionally abused by many people around her who were able to hide behind the security of Ireland's Catholic Church-run institutions. She also suffered at the hands of other people around them who they called their friends. You only get one chance to live your life as a child, but Lilly was never given that chance - her childhood was taken from her before it ever begun. From the age of four, when she was first sexually abused, her life changed forever; when she walked through the institution's doors in Ireland, her life continued along the same path that has destroyed her soul. Her emotional pain is as strong today as it was the day it began and will never leave her alone. "When I go to sleep it's in my head and when I wake up I can see it in the mirror and I am only waiting to die." A child abuse story that will stay with you forever and one that you will talk about for many years to come, The Girl Nobody Wants is a harrowing true story that will appeal to fans of biographies.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. Did Myra Hindley deserve to be punished? Does any criminal? Is belief in free will an essential foundation for morality, or an excuse for unwarranted cruelty? Is free will a myth and, if so, can we let go of it? In this entertaining, accessible but deeply serious book, the author brings a refreshingly original approach to the age-old conflict between free will and determinism and comes down firmly against free will. But what does 'free will' mean? And if we rejected it, what would the consequences be? The author, a lawyer who has worked both on law reform at the Law Commission and in private practice, and has written legal and other books and articles, has turned to a subject which has interested him for over half a century. He strongly believes that it does not belong exclusively to philosophers. These questions should be of concern to everyone - and no one who is willing to look at them objectively should be afraid to judge for themselves and reach their own conclusions.

Erstausgabe
Softcover. Zustand: Good. 1St Edition. Lady Colin Campbell (née Gertrude Elizabeth Blood) became the centre of media attention in 1886 when her husband accused her of adultery with a Duke, a general, a doctor and a fire-chief. The subsequent divorce trial was one of the longest in English legal history. Anne Jordan's book is the first full biography of this fascinating woman whose life reflects the profound social changes that characterized the late Victorian era. One hundred years after her death, Lady Colin Campbell is finally given a fair hearing. "A solidly researched yet compellingly readable biography of a woman too often defined by one episode in her fascinating life. Anne Jordan reveals Lady Colin Campbell as a complex individual, a pioneering sportswoman and successful journalist, a figure of considerable interest to anyone interested in the intricacies of women's lives in Victorian Britain, for far more reasons than merely her moment of notoriety as the central figure in a particularly sordid Victorian divorce case." Lesley Hall, Archivist & Historian "An important biography of this historical and colorful figure." Bruce Henderson, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author.
