The Informal Dementia Carer--who cares?
In this hard-hitting defence of the informal carer, Rex W Last draws on years of experience looking after his wife, who recently died after a long stay in a care home with dementia, and many years before that both had been campaigning on the carer’s role in mental health issues. He confronts the neglect of the "informal" carer, both in the lack of any training or preparation for the caring role, and, more significantly, in helping them cope with the huge challenges of losing their role when their loved one enters full-time care. In the absence of official support, he offers a wealth of information, advice and encouragement based on his own personal experiences.

Wolfgang's Castle
Amidst the secluded valleys of Bavaria, 1940, lies a covert Nazi stronghold, the womb to the sinister Project Sea Eagle. Here, in hidden chambers beneath the earth, Nazi scientists toil over an innovative menace: a fleet of aqua-planes intended to unleash a torrent of terror upon Britain’s shores once more. Against the dark tide rises a band of unlikely allies: four anti-Nazi Germans, two audacious SOE operatives, and twenty captive RAF officers. With scarce resources yet unyielding resolve, they plot to dismantle this aquatic harbinger of invasion. At the heart of their mission lies the experimental ‘aquaplane,’ a swift maritime vessel conceived to ferry troops and weaponry across the...
