Angus Robertson Sinclair, one of the worst killers the UK has ever seen, was convicted of four murders. His first took place in his home city of Glasgow in 1961, when he raped and murdered his seven-year-old neighbour Catherine Reehill when he was just sixteen. But after spending a mere six years in prison, he was released in his early twenties to kill again. Teenagers Helen Scott and Christine Eadie were last seen at the World's End pub on Edinburgh's Royal Mile in October 1977. The next morning both were found murdered; not together, but a few miles apart on the East Lothian coast. They had both been raped before they were killed. The largest investigation in Scottish police history didn't...

Growing up with Parents who have Learning Difficulties uses a life-story approach to present new evidence about how children from such families manage the transition to adulthood, and about the longer-term outcomes of such an upbringing. It offers a view of parental competence as a social attribute rather than an individual skill, assessing the implications for institutional policies and practices. The authors address the notion of children having to parent their disabled parents and argue for a shift in emphasis from protecting children to supporting families. This innovative book provides a fresh approach to a subject rife with prejudice and challenges us to think again about many taken-for-granted ideas about the process of parenting and the needs of children. It also demonstrates the power of narrative research and its capacity for bringing alive people's experience in a way that enables us to better understand their lives.
For the past thirty years, John J. Cobb has devoted himself to teaching the foundational truths of the Christian faith. His first work, Lord, When? A Biblical Perspective on the Second Coming embodies the authors passion for the accuracy and purity of Gods word. His latest work, From Death to Life is just another example of his passion for the doctrines of God as it explores some of the core doctrines of the Christian faith such as: The Doctrine of God Mans Total Depravity Sin Justification Election Predestination These and others covered in From Death to Life are crucial to the Christians understanding of who they are and the tremendous love God has for us. The author is convinced that the main reason so many Christians are so easily misled by false teachers today is a lack of understanding of these doctrines. The authors desire is that all who read this book will be strengthened in their faith and rediscover their love for God and His word.
