This light-hearted, and illustrated, Adventure is based on the author's personal memories of two trips to the tropical island of Tobago, towards the end of the nineteen-nineties. It not only highlights the beauty of Tobago, but also the wonderful people he met, and the wildlife he encountered. Some of the animals, birds and fish he saw, and illustrated, include the giant Leatherback Turtle, the Magnificent Frigatebird, and the Barracuda. There were other species of flora and fauna that the author had not seen before, which he encountered in their natural settings. All royalties from this book will be donated to local Cancer Charities.

I guess you must have heard of James Joyce's famously impossible novel, Ulysses, or you wouldn't be reading this. You may have had a go at the book but soon given up; probably in the third 'episode', which is quite challenging. You may have bought a guide to Ulysses and found that was quite hard to understand too! I have been reading and studying Ulysses on and off since I first discovered it in my parents' bookcase at the age of 12. Later on, I looked at some of the guides to the book and found them a bit overwhelming too. So I decided to write my own book. It doesn't go into all the detailed references, but there is enough explanation to let you understand a lot and enjoy everything. Some of the characters will stay in your mind like friends for life. You will find much of it poetic and moving. You will also find yourself laughing out loud because Ulysses is full of jokes and comical events. So go and buy the Penguin paperback edition along with John's Guide. And let's get started!
There was once a general consensus on the Left that anti-Semitism, derided as 'the socialism of fools', had no place in the Labour movement. No longer. Having led his party to its worst defeat since 1935, Jeremy Corbyn's humiliation was compounded when in October 2020, Labour was found by the Equality and Human Rights Commission to have been in breach of the Equality Act of 2010 on three separate counts of unlawful anti-Semitic acts while he was Party Leader. Corbyn himself was criticised by the Commission for protecting those committing such acts, and had the party whip withdrawn for rejecting its findings. This book places the Corbyn affair in the context of a general crisis of the global Left, one that has been fuelled by a toxic mix of an obsessive anti-Zionism, Islamophilia, political correctness, a loathing of western civilisation, 'critical race theory' and an abandonment of its historical roots in the working class.ABOUT THE AUTHORRobin Blick is the author under the pen name of Robert Black of: Workers Councils in the Hungarian Revolution (1966), Moscow Trials Anthology, with B.
