Little shocks the British public more than learning of the killing of policemen and women whilst tackling criminals. Even the vast majority of hardened crooks baulk at what is seen as the ultimate crime _ the mandatory death sentence in days of capital punishment reflected public disgust at such a crime, particularly when the police were largely unarmed. This book spans fifty years of crime enforcement and describes in detail the ever present danger to the police who patrolled LondonÍs streets and who lost their lives in the line of duty. Many of the police officers died carrying out run-of-the-mill police duties; from PC Nat Edgar, shot in 1948 by a burglar to PC Patrick Dunne, the home be...
Everything has a time. Everything has a place. Everything has a balance. The world exists because it was allowed to. A delicate system that was handcrafted by Time himself to be perfect, to be balanced. His workers, forces as timeless as him, ensured the balance was kept so life could continue to thrive, to grow, to evolve. No one threatened the balance more than humans. Humans, who rarely saw the world beyond what was right before them. Ignorance was something they had perfected over years of existence, and ignorance fed Chaos. Chaos wanted nothing more than a world unbalanced, a world broken and fearful, where order was no longer present, and he was determined to succeed, through any means necessary. For Time, it was a battle, for Chaos it was a game, but whether it was a battle or game, losing wasn’t an option. The fate of the world was left to the humans, the unknowing pawns in the game. But Chaos is not so easily overcome.

Midnight feasts in dorms, jolly japes with chums, pranks on mad teachers and no boys whatsoever: THE REAL MALORY TOWERS LIFE from award-winning writer, Julie Welch. ‘As we spilled from the train we could hear loud revving and smell exhaust fumes, and there in the forecourt was a coach waiting to drop us all off at our various houses. I’d been living for this moment since I’d arrived at the school; since before that. . . We were all schoolgirls everywhere, past, present and future, real and imagined. We were Darrell and her chums at Malory Towers – except the school in front of me wasn’t quite the picture I had imagined. Suddenly I had this out-of-nowhere, waking up from a coma mome...
Awareness of, and interest in, the therapeutic properties of crystals have grown enormously in the last few years as users have discovered the wide range of their beneficial effects.
