We do not choose to be brought into this world. Some believe our lives are predetermined; others say we choose the paths we walk. Still others insist it is a combination of both. What I do know: We are continually evolving and hopefully using our past experiences to reach out to others. Hence the birth of Above His Shoulders. My goal is to bring others along on my journey. At a young age I was sexually abused by my cousin. I carried those horrific events with me for many years. A part of my childhood was stolen. The effects impacted my relationships and brought me on a journey of anger, rage, depression, and feelings of isolation. Dreams of flight were frequent. My travels and therapy were a...
Many prejudiced beliefs will be false and many will be harmful. But it is widely assumed also that prejudiced belief is defective in the sense that it could only arise from distinctive kinds of epistemic irrationality: we could acquire or retain such beliefs only by neglecting evidence, and thereby violating our epistemic responsibilities.

Gig Rowing is one of the country’s fastest growing water sports. It has its origins in the working boats of the Isles of Scilly. But when they were phased out, the Scillonians and the Cornish gradually adopted the gigs for sporting purposes. And over the last twenty years the number of clubs has mushroomed.Now there are clubs in Devon, Avon, Dorset and Wales and places as far afield as Boston in the USA, the Faroe Islands and Holland.The highlight every year comes on the May Bank Holiday weekend, very early in the season, with the World Championships on the Isles of Scilly. Now with more than 90 crews this has become as much a social event as a sporting one.There have been books about gig rowing before but they tended to be about the sport’s history, or about technical aspects. Dan Williams, an education worker in Falmouth and Truro and a member of Devoran Pilot Gig Club’s redoubtable B team, touches on these aspects but for him the camaraderie and parties are as important as which oar goes where.He recounts epic nights such as the one in Gorran Haven when his wife Anne, who as can be seen from the book’s title, is a fellow rower, became a champion “tosser”.
In God's Own Party, Daniel K. Williams presents the first comprehensive history of the Christian Right, uncovering how evangelicals came to see the Republican Party as the vehicle through which they could reclaim America as a Christian nation.
'Mum ...' This was the last word that 15-year-old Liverpool fan Kevin Williams said as he lay dying, one of the 96 tragic victims of the Hillsborough disasters. Kevin's mum, Anne, was not there to answer his call but she never let her son down. From that fateful day, April 15, 1989, Anne embarked on a remarkable 24-year battle to see justice done. Convinced of a cover up by the powers at be, she left no stone unturned in her quest to reveal the truth. It was a campaign that she fought to her dying day before succumbing to cancer at the age of 62 in April, 2013. Even then, just days before she died, she found the courage to attend the annual Hillsborough memorial service at Anfield. In this book her daughter, Sara, tells the real story of Anne's remarkable journey.
