In this riveting true crime account, acclaimed author P. D. James, the "Queen of the English mystery novel" (Newsweek) joins forces with historian T. A. Critchley to re-create the Radcliffe Highway murders, a series of vicious crimes committed in 1811 ... The scene is the London Docks near Wapping Old Stairs, a sinister neighborhood where pirates were often hanged. The first victims were two hardworking shopkeepers, along with their baby and shop boy. Twelve days later and only a few blocks away, an equally blameless pub owner was found together with his wife and servant, victims of equal cruelty and apparent absence of motive. The serial killings provoked nationwide notoriety and panic. With the atmosphere and pacing of her best novels, James reveals the rudimentary police system of Regency London coping with a major murder investigation -- and crimes that rank up there with Jack the Ripper, the Boston Strangler, and Son of Sam as the very symbol of murderous and unthinking brutality.

The mystery writer and a police historian draw on original research to reconstruct the crimes known as the Radcliffe Highway murders, a series of particularly brutal murders that shocked Regency London

Dave Ratcliffe lived and worked through changing times. The transformation of the the venison industry when foot hunters were replaced by helicopters, and the timber industry as native logging ended. "I had lived, hunted, eaten and drank with some of the best there were. The skills and professionalism of those operators in this (venison recovery) business would never be beaten. Some were fearless, but none were heartless, and all of them possessed an adventurous spirit. They knew how to play hard and they knew how to drink hard, but they also knew how to work hard. I was going to find it hard to go into a world without the adrenalin, the adventure, Native logging was finishing; it was just about all over. The venison industry, was a dying game as well, as we knew it anyway. It was to continue, but not in the same depth. The bureaucrats were moving in. They were watching every move we made. Regulations were coming in, you can't do this, you can't do that, you've got to wear this, and you've got to wear that. The bureaucrats were starting to get their moneys worth. They were making rules and regulations to govern everybody else's life. They had created a bandwagon and they were getting on it. We will never get them off it. They are people who have never taken a risk in their lives, or done anything that's a dare, or know what it's like to hurt. Most of them wouldn't know what it's like to get wet - and if they are wet, it's only behind the ears. Gone are the days of flying in after dark with the last load, or leaving in the dark to be in the mountains in the morning, right on the crack of day. Or riding a push-bike without a hat, being able to get drunk in a bar, or even have a smoke in the bar. The days of the hard men have gone. The days of respect have gone. The days of freedom of speech have gone. The days of freedom of choice\ have gone. The days of you being able to think for yourself have gone. Common sense has gone. This book is all about the life and the li

This book offers arguments against the view that interpersonal understanding involves a 'folk' or 'commonsense' psychology, a view which Ratcliffe suggests is a theoretically motivated abstraction. His alternative account draws on phenomenology, neuroscience and developmental psychology, exploring patterned interactions in shared social situations.

Experiences of Depression is a philosophical exploration of what it is like to be depressed. In this important new book, Matthew Ratcliffe develops a detailed account of depression experiences by drawing on work in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and several other disciplines. In so doing, he makes clear how phenomenological research can contribute to psychiatry, by helping us to better understand patients' experiences, as well as informing classification, diagnosis, and treatment. Throughout the book, Ratcliffe also emphasizes the relevance of depression to philosophical enquiry. He proposes that, by reflecting on how experiences of depression differ from 'healthy' forms of experience, we can refine our understanding of both. Hence phenomenological research of this kind has much wider applicability. He further shows how the study of depression experiences can inform philosophical approaches to a range of topics, including interpersonal understanding and empathy, free will, the experience of time, the nature of emotion and feeling, what it is to believe something, and what it is to hope.This book will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand and relate to experiences of depression, including philosophers, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, therapists, and those who have been directly or indirectly affected by depression.

Tom Ratcliffe, the author, has catalogued the 100+ species of plants that are referred to in Scripture, and then deals briefly with the nature, general location and usage of each plant. He is eminently qualified to write on such a specialist subject, for after gaining his initial qualification he spent the remainder of his working life in horticulture. However, the distinctive feature that places this book in a different category to all the others is that it goes on to consider, in depth, the spiritual aspects of each plant as presented in Scripture. The author avers that mention of these plants, fruits and products, in whatever context, must hold spiritual significance and forms part of the typical teaching of Scripture. With meticulous attention to detail he submits delightful, thought-provoking, comments that open up fresh fields of exploration to the devoted student, and point to the limitless extent of the truths contained in God's word. This hard-covered volume is beautifully illustrated, the author's colour photographs and watercolour paintings being used. There is also an exhaustible table of Bible references to plants, fruits and plant products.

Peter Ratcliffe served in the SAS for twenty-five years. Blooded in Oman in the 1970s, he also saw action in Northern Ireland, in the Falklands War, and in the Gulf campaign. From his early days in the Paras to his time as Regimental Sergeant-Major in the Gulf, he has lived and fought by the motto 'Who Dares Wins'. Eye of the Storm is his insider's account of that exceptional career. Fastpaced, earthy, dramatic, funny, occasionally disturbing, it is laced with firsthand descriptions of ferocious and bloody fighting, sudden death and incredible heroism, and peopled with a cast of extraordinary individuals. Beyond that, however, it corrects many of the distortions and exaggerations of other books, and explodes several long-standing myths about the Regiment. Here - at last - is the authentic voice of the SAS.
