Tell My Mother I'm Not Dead
This book divides into two parts. The first is a personal narrative of the impact of the death of the author's son Ralph on him and his family and his efforts to see if there was any evidence for his continued existence (generated largely through visits to mediums) that a thinking person could take seriously. The second is an attempt to evaluate that evidence objectively (based on an extensive survey of current and past scientific research in the UK and the USA). The title reflects the inevitable tension between emotion and intellect in such an enquiry.

Confronting Challenges, Maximising Opportunities
"Following the conclusion of the Second World War, the countries of the Caribbean faced serious challenges that threatened their individual survival. Political independence was meaningless without economic independence and the newly independent states of the Caribbean found themselves severely challenges by an international economic system founded on a development paradigm premised on the belief that the accumulation of wealth was the sole route to prosperity and that creating the conditions for more wealth was the preferred pathway to sustainable development. There have been numerous changes to this scenario over the years and Confronting Challenges Maximising Opportunities traces the Caribbean s response to the varying challenges. Using market access as the point to highlight specific challenges, this collection examines Caribbean Diplomacy and paints a picture of the imperatives for social and economic development and the need for a proactive stance to the conditionalities inherent in market access negotiations.
