The Unassuming Sky
As featured on the Antiques Roadshow, the work of Timothy Corsellis is made available here, for the first time, in a collected edition. One hundred poems have been chosen and arranged in such a way as to bring out the unique literary and historical interest of the short life and long work of this unusual war poet. They have been grouped in roughly chronological order in six chapters, each accompanied by a thematic introduction which places them in the social and intellectual contexts from which they sprung: the Munich crisis and the search for other ideas of a Christian society, the fall of France and the possibility of a Federal Union, days in the East End and nights in Chelsea during and a...
UFO Investigator's Manual
UFOs have been a global phenomenon from the late 19th century to the present day. The UFO Investigator's Manual examines many UFO investigations worldwide by looking at the government reports, both official and secret, that have attempted to explain the "otherworldly". This manual also explains how you can identify a UFO yourself and how to classify an alien encounter--was it of the first, second, third, fourth or fifth kind? The findings of scientific research will also be explored, as will the human attempts at alien communication, and finally, alternative explanations of uncanny happenings coupled with over 200 illustrations.
Captured by Aliens?
New Hampshire couple Betty and Barney Hill provided Americans with what is essentially the original alien abduction story. Since their story became public in the early 1960s, many thousands of Americans have likewise come forward with similar stories of traumatic experiences. Sometimes the abductee has little conscious recollection of these events, but through nightmares, dreams, flashbacks and hypnosis they eventually learn more. Sometimes the participants are bewildered. To get a better understanding of the opposing viewpoints of skeptic and believer, the Betty and Barney Hill case is used to examine the wider context of such encounters, their historical origins, media influences and the latest extraterrestrial, psychological, paranormal, conspiracy and sociological theories that surround them.
UFOs of the First World War
Lieutenant R.S. Maxwell took off in his BE2C fighter but saw nothing unusual until 8.25 p.m. when, according to his report: 'My engine was missing irregularly and it was only by keeping the speed of the machine down to 50 mph that I was able to stay at 10,000 feet. I distinctly saw an artificial light to the north of me, and at about the same height. I followed this light northeast for nearly 20 minutes, but it seemed to go slightly higher and just as quickly as myself, and eventually I lost it completely in the clouds.' Such sightings occurred frequently during the war. The reasons are fascinating in themselves: the first is that aviation is in its infancy, so light phenomena at altitude are a new experience. The second is fear: for the first time a real threat came from the skies. It wasn't just the Western Front: on 21 August 1915 twenty New Zealand soldiers allegedly saw eight bread-loaf shaped clouds over Hill 60, Suvla Bay. 'A British regiment, the First- Fourth Norfolk, of several hundred men, was then noticed marching . . . towards Hill 60.' They marched into the cloud, which lifted off the ground, and were never seen again.
The First Epistle to the Corinthians
"This commentary on 1 Corinthians is the fruit of many years of teaching and reflection on the appropriate interpretation of the New Testament. The more clearly we can see the situation which the apostle Paul was addressing in his occasional writings, the more clearly we will see the point of what he was trying to say. In spite of the gap that separates the world of the New Testament from our own, if we dig deep enough, we will find again and again a message that resonates with our own experience. This second edition of Nigel Watson's commentary on 1 Corinthians is completely revised and updated, taking into account current Pauline scholarship and applying it to life at the present time."--BOOK JACKET.
Peter Green
One of England's greatest blues guitarists, Peter Green was the founder of Fleetwood Mac. Considered an enigma as well as a brilliant musician, he quit the band in 1970. Written by Green's close associate, this fourth edition of the biography first published in 1995 challenges the accepted narrative about why he left Fleetwood Mac and what happened next. Revised and updated, the book also includes unseen photographs.
Still Learning Still Preaching
In this new volume Nigel Watson presents seventeen sermons drawn from fifty-five years of preaching. The subjects touched upon include incarnation, atonement, resurrection, ministry and the relationship between Christian faith and other faiths.I am convinced that if our weekly preaching could achieve anything like the directness, the relevance and the lucidity of these sermons of Nigel Watson, people might be les inclined to dismiss preaching out of hand.From the foreword by the Rev. Professor Harry WardlawThis is Nigel Watsons' sixth publication with Seaview Press. Previous titles comprise:-Still preaching, still learning (1999)-Reading with Discernment (2000)-Ministry - does it have a future? (2002)-Who do you say that I am? (2003)- and Kerfuffle in Corinth (2005).
Arnold Ziff
The life of Arnold Ziff is the story of one of Yorkshire's most successful businessmen. He floated his property company at the height of the post-war property boom, making him a fortune. His triumphant takeover of Barratts provided the backbone for one of today's few remaining independent retail shoe businesses, and through the development of the Merrion Centre he played a pivotal role in the post-war revival and redevelopment of Leeds. He never forgot the debt he and his family owed to Leeds, and the gifts stemming from his gratitude touched many of its institutions and inhabitants. He could be a difficult man, but he was also charming and generous. His family was all-important, and this included not just relatives but also those whom he dealt with in his many other activities. Above all, it is his humanity which shines throughout this book.
Still Life
A photographic study of the Arctic huts that served as expediion bases for explorations led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton.
The Durham Difference
The Durham Difference spans the birth, infancy and maturity of the country's third oldest university, from its roots as a monastic institution and the award of its Royal Charter in 1837 to become one of the most highly regarded universities in the country with an outstanding record both in teaching and research in science and a great many other subjects.The author, Nigel Watson, a graduate of the University, has thoroughly researched original records and drawn on hitherto untapped reminiscences of staff and students from various generations, which bring the book brilliantly to life. In his foreword, the Chancellor and world-famous author, Dr Bill Bryson, says: ''It is my private conviction that you can tell that you are in a good university town from the moment of arrival, in much the way you can often sense the presence of sea before you actually see it .... And nowhere that I know of is that happy air of productive, brainy toil more winningly offset by architectural glory than in Durham. What other universities, after all, can claim a castle and cathedral at their very heart ...... ''
