Book Synopsis Exhaustive Enquiries by : Betty Rowlands
Download or read book Exhaustive Enquiries written by Betty Rowlands and published by Orion. This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gifted and knowledgeable writer . . . engaging and readable' Financial Times Melissa Craig has taken time away from writing bestselling mysteries to script a murder play for an amateur drama group. 'Murder with a giggle' is how she thinks of it. But no one is laughing when a cast member dies in the cellar of the old Cotswold Heyshill Manor Hotel where the play is to be produced. Persuaded by the manager to investigate, Melissa finds . . . nothing. No well-ordered clues, no sure suspects, just lots of tension. Then she chances upon a vital discovery in the hotel's parking lot, and everything begins to fall into place. This isn't a matter of "murderous plots and murky deeds, all in rhyming couplets" but a death-defying journey along a trail of crime on an international scale.
Book Synopsis The Witch of Hodderford by : C. B. Morton
Download or read book The Witch of Hodderford written by C. B. Morton and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both intriguing and enlightening, The Witch of Hodderford is written in the form of memoirs by a retired, non-conformist clergyman. Easy-going, if somewhat conventional, John Wilkes’ world is turned upside-down when a member of his congregation claims to make out-of-body visits to first century Palestine. The woman, a former nurse, brings back eye-witness accounts of several major events as depicted in the Gospels. These, together with her own critical explanations are, to say the least, highly heretical. In addition, Wilkes has problems enough at home in the shape of his precocious young daughter and his older son; who, despite studying physics at university, cannot resist joining his father in an attempt to resolve the mystery. Others also become involved, including the clergyman’s wife, the caretaker’s wife... and a Professor of linguistics! After a brush with a would-be Witch-finder General and an even more fearsome ‘hot-gospeller’, the approach of Holy Week and Easter foreshadows more earth-shattering, apocalyptic theories; and they don’t disappoint. But Wilkes, his family and friends are made of sterner stuff. So ‘all’s well that ends well’... or does it?
Book Synopsis The Spy Who Painted the Queen by : Phil Tomaselli
Download or read book The Spy Who Painted the Queen written by Phil Tomaselli and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Philip de László a secret agent and was MI5's source really as they claimed? Did an enemy spy really paint the portrait of the young Princess Elizabeth? In 1917, noted society portrait painter Philip de László, who painted such luminaries as the Pope, the Austrian emperor, King Edward VII and Prince Louis Battenberg, was subjected to a secret tribunal which interned him for trading with the enemy. At the outbreak of the First World War, de László had pulled strings to be naturalised as British, but in 1919 he was referred to a public committee to revoke his naturalisation. With the aid of skilled counsel, de László had the application overturned – however, newly discovered records show MI5 had evidence obtained from a top-secret source that alleged that he was supplying the enemy with important information on politics and industrial production. Crucially, the source's anonymity prevented MI5 from presenting evidence to the tribunal, which has particular resonance in the contemporary War on Terror. In the only book to examine MI5's secret evidence, Phil Tomaselli explores these allegations and reaches a shocking conclusion.
Book Synopsis My Years with the British Red Cross by : Nicholas Young
Download or read book My Years with the British Red Cross written by Nicholas Young and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Nick Young’s memoir is a fascinating and candid account of his thirteen years as chief executive of the British Red Cross (2001-2014). During this critical period he led the organization's response to the financial crisis, the Iraq War, the Asian Tsunami, the London bombings, a kidnapping, the fighting in Syria, media challenges, and numerous earthquakes, floods and other disasters. The author shares the strains and moments of fulfillment, relief and humor, as he played a key role in the response to some of the 21st Century’s most dramatic and dangerous events. His book paints a vivid yet modest picture of what is involved running one of the world’s best-known disaster response organizations, reacting to catastrophes, both man-made and natural, and saving the lives and livelihoods of those caught up in global disasters, conflicts and health emergencies. It is rare for charity leaders to reveal their insights in this way and, at the same time, paint such a vivid picture of life at the top of a large voluntary organization. The result is a compelling read, particularly for those interested in international affairs, the way charities work, and what makes them different from other types of world class organizations.

Book Synopsis The Metamorphosis of Magic from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period by : Jan N. Bremmer
Download or read book The Metamorphosis of Magic from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period written by Jan N. Bremmer and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deities, demons, and angels became important protagonists in the magic of the Late Antique world, and were also the main reasons for the condemnation of magic in the Christian era. Supplicatory incantations, rituals of coercion, enticing suffumigations, magical prayers and mystical songs drew spiritual powers to the humain domain. Next to the magician's desire to regulate fate and fortune, it was the communion with the spirit world that gave magic the potential to purify and even deify its practitioners. The sense of elation and the awareness of a metaphysical order caused magic to merge with philosophy (notably Neoplatonism). The heritage of Late Antique theurgy would be passed on to the Arab world, and together with classical science and learning would take root again in the Latin West in the High Middle Ages. The metamorphosis of magic laid out in this book is the transformation of ritual into occult philosophy against the background of cultural changes in Judaism, Graeco-Roman religion and Christianity. This volume, the first in the new series Groningen Studies in Cultural Change, offers the papers presented at the workshop The Metamorphosis of Magic from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period held from 22 to 24 June 2000, and organised by Jan N. Bremmer and Jan R. Veenstra. The papers have been written by scholars from such varying disciplines as classics, theology, philosophy, cultural history, and law. Their contributions shed new light upon several old obscurities; they show magic to be a significant area of culture, and they advance the case for viewing transformations in the lore and practice of magic as a barometer with which to measure cultural change.
Download or read book Betrayed written by Richard Scorer and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1980s, the Catholic Church has been embroiled in a profound crisis of clerical sexual abuse. In many Western countries, paedophile priests have been exposed and convicted, and the Church's moral and social standing has suffered deeply. Scandals in Ireland and America have been extensively documented and much debated. The English Catholic Church has also been shaken to its roots by allegations of abuse, but until now the situation in England has not been fully examined. This book, by one of the UK's leading lawyers in the field, is a shocking exposé of Catholic sex abuse cases in England over the past forty years. Exploring the many facets of the crisis, it analyses the ways in which the English Church has responded - and the ways in which it has failed. The author considers the causes of abuse, allegations of cover-ups, campaigns led by victims, battles within the Church, the legal dimensions and the debate around the laicisation ('defrocking') of individual priests. He attempts to answer the following questions: How serious has the problem been in the English Catholic Church? How effectively has the Church responded? Can it hope to recover from this scandal - and, crucially, can it deal credibly and effectively with future allegations of abuse?

Book Synopsis With British Snipers to the Reich by : Capt. C. Shore
Download or read book With British Snipers to the Reich written by Capt. C. Shore and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1948, this book is a practical guide to the sniper’s art in World War II. Captain Shore’s enthusiasm for firearms and especially for rifles led him to take every possible opportunity to try out different weapons, ammunition and methods of shooting. His interest was combined with sound common sense, and he would never countenance a rumour about a particular weapon or incident unless he was able to confirm it for himself. As a result everything in this book is based on his personal experience. In World War II Captain Shore took part in the British landings at D-Day, and fought in Normandy and northern Europe. He came across many different weapons in varying condition, some of the worst being those used by the Dutch and Belgian resistance fighters. He was keen to learn from experienced snipers and then to train others, and he became an officer sniping instructor at the British Army of the Rhine Training Centre. He shares a wealth of first-hand knowledge of different rifles, pistols, machine guns, ammunition, telescopes, binoculars and all the equipment a sniper should carry. This is not only an account of sniping in World War II but also a guide to all aspects of sniping based on personal knowledge and experience in training and battle. Illustrated heavily with photos, pictures and other illustrations of snipers, their weapons and their tactics.
