Conerad, Conestance, Cone-Vera and Conen had had a busy day. They had woggled and woggled until they were too tired to go any further. It was very dark and the four friends rested on a hillside.

This time they will learn all about the importance of electricity, some of the difficulties caused during a power cut and how the power company supports communities so that the most vulnerable are looked after.

Dawn was breaking and casting a warm glow. A large cargo ship was ploughing its way across the heaving sea and turned to come towards the port. A green and white Cone was on the deck, woggling backwards and forwards. He was very tired, it had been a long journey from America. As the ship turned to face the port, a small tug chugged out to sea to help the ship dock safely. In Cones Power and Nature the adventures of the four friends Cones continue when they learn about a power station and the way electricity can be produced from a sustainable resource. Wonderfully creative stories that are delightfully illustrated. Children love them and adults love stories that introduce themes of friendship and safety awareness.

To mark the end of the war in Europe the flag was hoisted in front of the School, and on 8 May and 9 May 1945 there was a holiday to celebrate VE Day. On 10 May there was a short ceremony at Morning Assembly to celebrate the Allied victory.This book is not only about those 463 ex-pupils and staff who were in the Armed Forces, forty-one of whom were killed in the War, or about those who were wounded, or those who were prisoners of war in German, Italian or Japanese hands. It is alsoabout the life of the school in the years 1939 - 1945 and the 998 pupils who were there at the time, forty-one of whom were at Prince Henry's for the length of the war. It is dedicated to everybody associated with Prince Henry's Grammar School before and during the Second World War.Lest we forget.

The Cones series are brilliantly written, delightfully illustrated stories for children that are fun to read. The adventures that the Cones find themselves in through each book illustrate aspects of safety awareness as well as moral and ethical principles of mutual support and friendliness.

In this sequel to the acclaimed novel and Wishing-Shelf Awards finalist, The Sixth Pillar, we again follow the exploits of former SAS officer Rory Calderwood, as he tries to rebuild his life following his time on the North Sea Gas rig. He has now relocated to a seemingly more tranquil area, but an act of extreme bravery leads to a chance meeting with the managing director of a company involved in making weaponry. Rory is soon hired as a security consultant, his key role, to protect them from industrial espionage. The company's latest invention, under the code-name 'Hades', will change modern warfare and there are numerous countries and agencies anxious to get their hands on the plans. What follows is a dramatic account of Calderwood's attempt to protect his employers, the story weaving from the backstreets of Birmingham to the warring factions of the Middle East. Then there is Natalie, the mysterious international lawyer from Estonia recently employed by the company; where does she fit in, in all the mayhem? Is she really what she seems or a smokescreen? Whatever you do, do not miss the exciting climax that will have readers flipping the pages to reach the conclusion.

John Howard was a good Catholic boy brought up in post-war Lancashire, who became more turned on by gilt than by guilt. Sacred Heart statues and a wall-mounted crucifix, along with plans for the priesthood, were replaced by Marc Bolan posters, miming to 'Metal Guru' in front of a full-length mirror and dreams of pop stardom.As Glam Rock stomped into millions of teenage bedrooms, John left home for London, and was quickly signed to CBS Records, making his debut album at Abbey Road studios, and enjoying the hedonistic pleasures of a fully gay-liberated city.He appeared on TV and rubbed shoulders with stars like Johnny Mathis and David Essex, wrote and recorded the theme song for the William Holden/Peter Fonda movie, Open Season, and launched his album with a concert at The Purcell Room on the South Bank.Meanwhile, he was attacked with a knife by his first lover; beaten up by an East End crook boyfriend; narrowly escaped being gang-raped in Malta, and was rescued from being abducted by a serial killer cab driver in New York.Everything finally came to a crashing halt when, at the age of twenty-three, he broke his back jumping from his apartment window, escaping from his flatmates' sex attacker.A potentially glittering career, and an often perilous sex life, were all put on hold as John lay in a hospital bed unsure if he would walk again.

It is no exaggeration to say that we were tortured; physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually. It took decades for me to piece together the fragments of my life at a children's home run by the Catholic Church, to pull hazy images out of the shadows of my mind and bring them into sharp focus. Slowly, painfully, I put the puzzle back together.

This book started as an analysis of the heroic fallacy but became several other kinds of story. Primarily, the portrait of a protracted breakdown in the author Michael Scott's psychological and physical make-up, although he struggles hard not to go under, making his account more useful for others to read. It's neither pathological, nor self-indulgently self-pitying.There are useful accounts of coping strategies, particularly appropriate to age-related weakness and physical infirmity, especially when their onset is sudden as it was for Scott.The book focuses on puzzling features of human behaviour, and whether the species Homo sapiens is anything like the triumphant evolutionary achievement we pretend it to be. We are repeatedly warned about our anthropic megalomania, amply illustrated by unflinching description of the author's own egotism.Two other primary considerations in the book are consciousness and love. Scott questions the airy assumptions made about consciousness, arguing that it is fundamentally unknown and unanalysable. He claims that consciousness is part of life itself, and possibly non-living systems too. He evidences Daniel Dennett writing that the human brain creates a "narrative of consciousness", Scott believes the universe itself is the set of brain-narratives we choose to regard as 'reality'.As for love, Scott is a passionate advocate of it as the only saving grace in our collective and individual behaviour: the supreme brain-narrative, but believes that we are superficial and hypocritical in our attempts to give love its full majesty.In a vivid sense, therefore, The Fifth Revelation becomes a love story. Scott's deeply cherished wife of sixty years marriage died a short time after the book was finished.
