This memoir describes Paul Wokes's 51 years teaching in rural schools in Lincolnshire, England. Paul's determination to bring fresh experiences to his students starts with a chess club in the William Lovell School in Stickney. He follows this with a bridge club, then a badminton club, any of these being uncommon in such schools in the sixties. When his young proteges win chess tournaments, Paul knows this must open their minds to more than they could have imagined. "Please Sir, can I join your Chess Club?" provides a close-up of these journeys of discovery, challenges, overcoming, and losses. The students' stories will warm your heart, and sometimes sadden, but Paul never shies away from the truth. This book includes his attempt, at 80, to regain his 1965 World Chess Marathon record to stay awake and play chess for over 56 hours. In a Radio Lincolnshire interview, the interviewer commented, "Paul, you have a very unusual way of keeping yourself refreshed, instead of sleep." "Yes, leaving my body under control. Astral travel," Paul replied.

Can there be anyone intelligent who can doubt that, far from being the liberating event its proponents argued it was, Brexit is turning out to be the disaster that many (but, sadly, not enough) people expected it to be? Rather than leave it like that, in true academic fashion the author has left no stone unturned, no unconsidered trifle un-snapped up, in scrutinising the mass of data which may contain grains of good news about Brexit. Not for him the pointless shredding of reputations and shallow theorising of our pygmy politicians: this is a fact-based book which will enable the diligent reader to arrive at their own considered view of this momentous event. Alternatively, you may simply want to use the pages as a commonplace book; to write begging letters to mortgage lenders; to draft a letter to the Irish Passport Office in the vain hope that a distant Irish relative from a couple of centuries back may qualify you for EU citizenship; or even in extremis, as loo paper. That, to be fair, is all that the Johnson "oven-ready" Brexit deal was good for...

But although the isolated location may have the effect of concentrating the mind, the Grand Theory is proving elusive and their research is leading nowhere, causing tensions torise. Then one of them is murdered. Is the killer a religious fundamentalist, afraid of the implications of the project for faith? Does the crime have its origins in the jealousies and rivalries of academe? Or was the motive something different from either of those? One thing is clear, as DI Alec Monro, head of a special Scotland Yard unit which investigates high-profile crimes, soon discovers. Further lurid incidents suggest someone is prepared to stop at nothing to ensure the truth is never revealed...
'The Marconi Beam Wireless Stations of Somerset' is a history of the county's two main high-frequency point-to-point receiving stations located at Bridgwater and Somerton. The Bridgwater station was only active for around 15 years, whilst the Somerton station continued in its role in one form or another until 2000. Details of their 'sister' transmitting stations at Bodmin and Dorchester are also included, as well as a fascinating history of the Chedzoy Experimental Radiotelephone Station, near Bridgwater. An overview of the UK's Point-to-Point radio service is also featured to clarify the role played by the Somerset stations. Whilst modern technology has now superseded the international wireless network, the role of these stations cannot be underestimated, and it is right that their historical importance is recorded.

My Awakened Soul is Tohon's concluding memoirs, summing up his life-long battles. He is winner in his outer world but the inner battles leave him wounded and defeated. One of the reviewers commented: I commend the author for baring his soul and sharing his inner torments. On the surface, such an internal struggle by a person who ticks all the boxes that define success in life appears counterintuitive. The book is deeply engrossing. Tohon's lifelong quest to understand and discover how all forms of life, including humans, fit into the infinitely large cosmic ecosystem is engaging. The readers will appreciate the author's honesty, integrity, and tenacity in probing into the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of our brief and puny lives.
Early activity in hydroelectricity is fairly comprehensively described in the first chapter. That is followed by six chapters which cover hydroelectricity generation on a country by country basis. There is a good deal of physical geography, for example the effects of sustained hydroelectricity production on river width. Carbon mitigation benefits of hydroelectricity generation are given their due place in the compilation and discussion. The author expects that the book will have appeal to experts, synthesising as it does information and data for hydroelectricity around the world over a period exceeding a century. It is also suitable for teaching both at Baccalaureate and Master's level, not least because the calculations are suitable for adaptation into studentexercises.
