Michael Robertson is known as Mishka due to his love of Eastern Europe. He is a post graduate in English literature but his real area of knowledge is his home town, Lancaster. Just like a river slowly flows towards the sea, the tale of Michael Robertson unfolds as he walks around town lecturing on the city and its history. Robertson talks about the Palatine of Lancaster, the citys gorgeous Georgian buildings and the people that came to Lancaster (Vikings, Gypsies, Romans, Normans etc). He also tells the reader about the space race that visits him, the ghost of John OGaunt, the loss of his family, the decline of sanity (his and societys), the underworld (there is an alternative universe in Michaels mind, where he doesnt have psychosis) and his love of cottage pie. The narrator speaks with suppressed anger and the story jumps around to allow the reader to follow Robertsons thoughts and to discern his split personality.The story ends with Robertsons death, a beautiful suicide that ends in Lancasters river, the Lune.(about 21,000 words)
It has long been held that adherence to the principles laid down by science is at one end of a spectrum and at the opposite end lies faith in God; the two are fundamentally irreconcileable. But is that really the case?In this authoritative, well-written book George Bolt sets out to make that reconciliation. He is after all an ordained Minister with a scientific background which makes his interest in the interface between religion and science unsurprising and puts him in a position to argue his case convincingly. In our opinion he has done a masterful job of bringing together apparently disparate beliefs: here evolutionary theory as first advanced by Charles Darwin is accepted as are the principles of nuclear fusion, yet the existence of an omnipotent God is just as readily accepted. It is a fascinating work, intriguingly structured, written by a man with a complete mastery of his theme. We recommend it highly.The extract from the book is composed of sections from both the beginning and the end. How one is reached from the other is the really compelling part of the book!(about 17,000 words)
The Bible is, together with the Koran, probably one of the two most well-known books ever published. We are proud to be able to offer our e-book version: being an electronic file, searching for a particular passage or person is far easier with an e-book than it is with a printed version.The Bible really needs no introduction, nor does it really need an 'extract'; we have, though, supplied an extract really just to show the format.(about 821, 000 words)
