Plastic Surgery in Wars, Disasters and Civilian Life
The specialty of plastic surgery was developed and named by Sir Harold Gillies following his work between the two world wars reconstructing severely damaged servicemen from the First World War. Sir Harold went on to inspire and train other surgeons from around the world. Among them was his cousin Sir Archibald McIndoe, who in the Second World War set up the unit at East Grinstead Hospital which looked after severely burned airmen and some other servicemen. The airmen themselves set up the famous Guinea Pig Club which gave enormous social and often financial support to the severely injured. After the Second World War specialized burn units were created throughout the UK, including one at Stok...
Never Knowingly Understood
This is an edited collection of reflections, ideas and commentary taken from Anthony Roberts' regular newspaper column in The Essex County Standard. Anthony steps through the frustrations and idiosyncrasies of everyday life with a comic eye and a candid approach to family life. The subject matter leaps from farce to fornication, from his frequent failures to his fierce frivolousness. Mixed in with these irreverent musings are some caustic attacks on homophobia and some beautiful and moving words on the commonality of young male suicide.

Sons of the Great Satan
"TWO NATIONS BOUND BY BLOOD AND VIOLENCE" When American teenager Joey Andrews and his family arrive in Tehran, Iran in 1976 they find an expatriate paradise within one of the world's oldest civilizations. Through the bold and imperious leadership of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, this ancient land is thrust into the modern age bringing great progress to some and seething resentment to others.

Struggle and Mutual Aid
A dynamic historian revisits the workers’ internationals, whose scope and significance are commonly overlooked. In current debates about globalization, open and borderless elites are often set in opposition to the immobile and protectionist working classes. This view obscures a major historical fact: for around a century—from the 1860s to the 1970s—worker movements were at the cutting edge of internationalism. The creation in London of the International Workingmen’s Association in 1864 was a turning point. What would later be called the “First International” aspired to bring together European and American workers across languages, nationalities, and trades. It was a major undertaking in a context marked by opening borders, moving capital, and exploding inequalities. In this urgent, engaging work, historian Nicolas Delalande explores how international worker solidarity developed, what it accomplished in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and why it collapsed over the past fifty years, to the point of disappearing from our memories.
The Thinking Child's God
Anthony Roberts-Moore Has spent his life since the age of twelve disliking religions. Now seventy-eight years old he is still an enemy of all religions and a member of many humanist associations. He hopes this little book helps children of all ages to become thinking people. Anthony is one of the most popular speakers at funeral services and is probably the most admired at that task when families want a humanist, non-religious funeral celebration of the life of a deceased loved one. His websites are popular: www.humanismvoiced.co.uk www.humanistcelebrants.co.uk www.humanism.me Read what families say about Anthony on his sites... You will get an idea of Anthony's nature, character and personality as you read this book but he remains a very private person, reluctant always to speak of himself under any conditions in which he finds himself. Privacy is an aspect of life he treasures.

Under Milosevic's rule, Serbian military and paramilitary forces carried out a carefully planned "ethnic cleansing" in Bosnia and Kosovo that claimed at least two hundred thousand lives.

Under the authority of the United Nations, detective and forensics expert Dr. Henry Lee, at the invitation of his student Dr. Dragan Primorac,...
