Set on a third world island in the Pacific Ocean, Doctors David and Sarah Arathoon oversee the medical care for an entire archipelago, their only help being a rather temperamental radio set, a good sense of humour, and various "how to do it" textbooks. The reader is provided with a frank and humorous first hand insight into medical triumphs and disasters encountered. A short stay on Santa Cruz is an exotic, un-put-down-able, warts and all account of this intrepid family's arrival on the Island of Lata in the Solomon islands and their integration into the ways of its people.

Few of us have been spared the agonies of intimate relationships. They come in many shapes: loving a man or a woman who will not commit to us, being heartbroken when we're abandoned by a lover, engaging in Sisyphean internet searches, coming back lonely from bars, parties, or blind dates, feeling bored in a relationship that is so much less than we had envisaged - these are only some of the ways in which the search for love is a difficult and often painful experience. Despite the widespread and almost collective character of these experiences, our culture insists they are the result of faulty or insufficiently mature psyches. For many, the Freudian idea that the family designs the pattern of an individual's erotic career has been the main explanation for why and how we fail to find or sustain love. Psychoanalysis and popular psychology have succeeded spectacularly in convincing us that individuals bear responsibility for the misery of their romantic and erotic lives. The purpo...

I don't know how she did it' Phoebe Waller-Bridge 'Oh how I ...

Oral health is integral to well-being and quality of life. This important edited volume brings together leading scholars to address global oral health and the multiple ways in which theory, practice and discourse have shaped it in the modern period.

Birth through Adam Weishaupt in 1776 the secret society group known as the Illuminati have been wreaking havoc on the world ever since. They have fomented wars and have manipulated events from behind the shadows to sinisterly and diabolically implement their agenda of a New World Order. People have heard of the Illuminati through popular culture, but most brush off their existence as nothing more than some "conspiracy theory" hatched by conspiracy theorists without doing any valid research that would perhaps discount their existence.Shame on them, because if they did the necessary research they would conclude that the Illuminati do actually exist in the annals of history. However, they supposedly disbanded which of course is not the case. Nonetheless, this powerful secret society is headed by 13 distinct bloodlines consisting of prominent families that you've probably heard of like the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers.

The thoughts contained in this book were from the pen of one who, in the silence of the Charterhouse, had already arrived at the summits of the spiritual heights, and dwelt there unceasingly. Souls who have reached such perfection in this life are rare; not so rare, however, are those who ardently aspire thereto. It is chiefly for such as these - to encourage and help them to arrive at those same heights - that these thoughts have been preserved and collected. They Speak by Silences was first published in French in 1948, and has since allowed Carthusian wisdom and spirituality to reach the widest possible audience. This new, and widely requested edition carries on the tradition. It will provide material for daily reading and reflection for newcomers to Carthusian spirituality and, equally, for those who have already discovered the riches it has to offer. Not everyone can experience that same recollection that exists in a Charterhouse, but they must not be afraid to set aside as far as ...
