    About The BookIt's September 1966 and Adam has taken a teaching job in Western Canada, still licking his amorous wounds after his break-up with Mary and vowing to hunt down the killer of his friend, Bill Jackson. Tessa Bellman (former student) meanwhile has decided to stay on in London for another year.What lay behind the conspiracy of silence at Hillcrest that had sought successfully to get rid of Bill? Adam wrestles now with this, and other questions. The \Who and Why continued to elude him. Was Bill's strange illness even due to paranoia, as was thought at the time? Or was it something more sinister? Adam, after a year in Canada, goes in search of answers, but, like his literary counterpart, Hamlet, he hesitates, unsure where and how to begin. He has only his vivid nightly visions, and that final, desperate letter of Bill's to go on. He lingers on in Canada until in April '67, he receives an unexpected letter from former student, Mack Hebler....This, the second book of the Trilogy describes Adam Riley's desperate quest to avenge his former friend and colleague, but, as he enlists the help of some of his former students, a dangerous sense of nostalgia and inevitability seems to hang over them. Can they ever rid themselves of the Hillcrest inheritance, and of the 'Play'?About The AuthorThe author was educated at a boarding school in rural England and obtained an M.A in Modern Languages from Cambridge. For a number of years, he worked in London as a freelance teacher, journalist and broadcaster. He has travelled widely, teaching in Germany, Canada and the United States, as well as his native England. In 1963, he took a teaching assignment in Texas, where he obtained much of the background for this allegorical, epic novel of vigorous youth, fierce endeavor, and gentle experience. He currently writes and teaches in England's West Country.'All the world's a stage...'

    The Tree of Life and the Origin of the Species by Philip Bruce Heywood tells the facts that he wanted to be seen published. The book has necessary content clarifying some climate questions with suitable resources. With a three-fold mission, this book ought (1) to leave not the slightest doubt that the whole of science, modern science especially, the whole of creation, the universe in its majesty, its magnificence, in unison with the testimony of history, of heroes of faith past and present, the magnificent, entire, unifying Cosmos of which we each are a part, leaves us no room to doubt - we are loved by, and infinitely important to, the matchless person, who set this all in motion, (2) to show how at this time in history, as divine provision would have it, science has advanced to the stage of enabling anyone and everyone to read as straightforward script, various parts of the bible which were previously clouded in their technical meaning. Those previously clouded parts, having necessarily to do with the most advanced sciences - the methodologies of the creation - are only now beginning to yield their secrets, and (3) to preserve, in hard print, for posterity, various items of science and of science history (especially evolution and climate related) which are in danger of being permanently buried.In telling the facts of the book, this must advance a series of identified details from its first chapter down to its last. Choosing the most important information to represent the book to make it more informative, captivating, and ultimately, more satisfying is a steadfast objective. Although these are the facts about science and the bible in one, it is also dedicated to humankind for the fullness of their understanding to speed in today's science world with the incontestable place of the Christian scriptures in policy making.

    About The BookReflections on a Tragedy is the title of the first of three books (volumes) which appear under the general heading: "A Texan Affair". This book, Reflections on a Tragedy, follows the fortunes, failures, and experiences of two young schoolteachers, Bill (American), Adam (English), who form an unusual friendship as colleagues working in a private high school on the plains of North Texas. Bill, very popular with the students, is a Maverick, unwilling to submit to the authorities' orthodox and conventional educational principles, imposing instead his own liberal views, and splitting the harmony of the school down the middle. Adam, on his first teaching assignment, and sharing much of Bill's own distaste for Establishment rigidity, quickly finds a friend and ally in Bill. Bill is already active in State politics, and together they distribute Liberal leaflets round the local University campus and talk light-heartedly of a school production of 'Hamlet'. A buoyant air pervades not just the school, but the country itself, in the early Fall of 1963, and the naïve Adam wants a part of this exuberance. Neither is aware of the events that are about to change their lives forever....
