Book Description
"'Paris in my Springtime' tells the story of what happened to a naive, inexperienced young man forced through illness at the start of medical school in 1963 to take an unplanned gap year. The colourful characters he meets and the unusual situations he finds himself in form the framework of this story, laced with amusing anecdotes that will keep you laughing. Highly entertaining." - Living France magazineIs this a novel? Or is it autobiography? The reader must decide. (Not easy...even the author's father got it wrong!) While sorting through old boxes the author finds a diary he kept during a stay in Paris in the 1960s. He had started medical school but been taken ill and had to abandon his studies for a while. He had two choices: a temporary job driving a fish delivery van or a trip to Paris. After much thought (lasting nearly a second) he chose to go to Paris. And this the story of what happened. Or is it? Who cares? As This England magazine says `Coleman is a very funny writer' and that is probably all that really matters. Vernon Coleman is a qualified doctor who has earned his living as a professional author for over 30 years. His books have sold over two million copies in hardback and paperback in the UK and been translated into 24 languages. An award winning film was made of his novel Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War and he is the author of the hugely popular bestselling Bilbury series. His bestselling medical books include Bodypower (the subject of three TV series and one radio series), How To Stop Your Doctor Killing You and many more. He is the author of over 100 books and a list of books available in kindle form is available on his Amazon Author listing.What the papers say:Vernon Coleman writes brilliant books - The Good Book GuideColeman is a very funny writer - This EnglandNo thinking person can ignore him - The EcologistHe writes lucidly and wittily - Good HousekeepingSuperstar - Independent on SundayProbably one of the most brilliant men alive today - Irish TimesIt's impossible not to be impressed - Western Daily PressRevered guru of medicine - Nursing TimesMarvellously succinct, refreshingly sensible - The SpectatorKing of the media docs -The IndependentThe man is a national treasure - What Doctors Don't Tell youetc etc

Full of charm and humour.' - News & StarThe Bilbury books have attracted great reviews and thousands of fans around the world. `You can sniff the clean Devon air and recognise characters indigenous to any West Country village.

Set in the 1970s, the mixture of rural beauty, human nature and the odd whisper of nostalgia combine to make this book a real delight.' Western Gazette`Coleman handles the humour with the assured touch that comes from having already written a string of successful titles (and) manages to retain a heartwarming affection for his fellow man.' - Yorkshire Evening Post`For sheer relaxing pleasure here's another witty tale from the doctor whose prolific writings are so well known to many of us.'

Book Description
Before his death, Dylan Thomas said of Vernon Watkins, "I think him to be the most profound and greatly accomplished Welshman writing poems in English." Since that time Watkins has published a series of distinguished volumes which have brought him to the forefront of contemporary English poets. This paperback selection is designed to bring the work of Vernon Watkins to the wide audience which it so well merits. The choice of poems has been made by the poet himself and is drawn from five earlier books, covering the period 1930-1960. (It replaces the hardbound Selected Poems which New Directions published in 1918.)

Book Description
This book tells the story of several characters who, from 1773, established a project in a house in Frankfurt on the "Judenstrasse" to pave the way for a World Government.However, the people mentioned in this book have absolutely nothing to do with any dogma and don't belong to any nation. They are neither left nor liberal, but they use all institutions to pursue their aims.Indeed, they are not part of any organization, but they often use strategies to hide possible research and create confusion and consequently steer people to a false path. To get to their objectives, these people use Christians, Jews, Communists, Fascists, Zionists, Mormons, Atheists, poor or rich, of all!According to the experts, the people mentioned above are called the "Illuminati" (the enlightened, the ones who know), Big Brother, the invisible government, the gray men, the shadow government, the secret government. The Illuminati's actions in the world date back about 3,000 years before Christ when they infiltrated the "Snake Brotherhood" in Mesopotamia. After 3,000 years, it was succeeded by other groups, such as Jews, Christians, Freemasons, or other religious communities.What started in the past, continues to work on the same terms, so we just have to look at the current situation to see where the problem is. The Illuminati control everything in Europe, the United States, and most of the world. Their secret war against humanity is designed to make us accept their tyranny, in other words, a "World Government."As media owners, they begin and determine their outcome. Moreover, they are responsible for the depressions, and the war against terrorism is a pretext for promoting more conflicts. The Illuminati govern through their control of large companies (agreements between cartels, finance, oil, defense, pharmaceuticals, media, etc.), as well as governments, secret societies, intelligence agencies, armies, judiciary, churches, foundations, think tanks, NGOs and the education system. The Chatham House in London and the New York-based "Pratt House" are two main control mechanisms. The power of the Illuminati is ubiquitous, but the masses do not even know their existence.Fritz Springmeier, one of the pioneering investigators, describes the Illuminati's activities as follows: "The Illuminati are the most influential people in the world. They are an elite group - I call them tribes or families - there are 13 main lineages. They lead a double life. They have a life that the world sees and then they have a hidden life that the world doesn't see. There have been very few people who have been able to decipher their secrets. The first 13 lines are the Astor, Bundy, Collins, Dupont, Freeman, Kennedy, Li, Onassis, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Reynolds, Krupp, Russell... the thirteenth lineage concern the Merovingians . I just call it the thirteenth, and then there's the Illuminati Van Duyn lineage. Lineage 13, is extremely important, as it includes the royal families of Europe."A former Illuminati named John Todd says: "the Illuminati spend a lot of money to corrupt people, especially evangelists and Christian preachers: A lot of what you see in churches, thinking this is liberalism is just an illusion. It's difficult for a ministry to reject half a million dollars and they can get even higher amounts. One church got eight million dollars in two years, and another, ten million dollars in a year!"An example of the actions of these gray men: During the American Civil War (1861-1865) northern states (opposed to slavery) fought the southern states (favorable to the maintenance of slavery). Before the war, the Rothschild family sent agents to support the position of Union between the northern states, and at the same time, other Rothschild agents provoked an attitude against the Union among the southern states. When the war broke out, London's Rothschild Bank financed the northern states and southern states.
