He explains how new research demonstrates that the massive ethnic cleansing Eichmann conducted in argues controversially that Eichmann was not necessarily predisposed to mass murder, exploring the remarkable, largely unknown period in Eichmann's career when he learned how to become a perpetrator of genocide.
Now it sent its top man after Farran. This story of violence, cover ups and expediency reveals the full extent and ambition of Jewish terrorist attacks on Britain and throws light on Britain's legacy in the Middle East, with remarkable echoes of today's War on Terror.
Setting Farran's remarkable story in the context of the first modern campaign of international terrorism, it draws on recently declassified files of the Security Services to reveal the full extent and ambition of Jewish terrorist attacks on Britain in the late 1940s.

Known collectively as the 'Great War', for over a decade the Napoleonic Wars engulfed not only a whole continent but also the overseas possessions of the leading European states.
Combining scholarship with a vivid narrative, it reveals a war of unexpected savagery, of carnage at times so great as to be comparable to the First World War.
Oscar the cat lives on the third floor of a nursing home in Rhode Island, USA. At first glance Oscar doesn't seem special. He's plain to look at. He's aloof. Like most cats, he's partial to treats and catnip. But in the summer of 2007 Oscar made headlines around the world. So what's so unusual about Oscar? He knows when the hospice patients are going to die. Dr Dosa's job is to respond to people's medical needs, treat them for their ailments and communicate with their families. Oscar takes care of the rest. He is a steady companion as patients descend into death. He is with them when they die. And, because of him, they don't die alone. Can a cat really predict death? Is he smelling something or responding to behavioural clues? Is he helping guide souls to heaven? Oscar's warm and profound story - of his uncanny ability to see death coming, of his steadfast and non-judgmental commitment to sit with patients as they die, of his quiet compassion - is a metaphor for what is important at the end of life.
A Chorus of Raspberries is the first full-length academic study of one of the most popular, profitable and persistent genres in British cinema. It redraws the map of British film history by arguing that comedy was the most successful, and perhaps the most important, genre of the 1930s, and that the very qualities which ensured the comedy film's low status are also its particular strengths. In the process it uncovers a whole tradition of popular cinema which criticism has relegated to the sidelines of history.The book looks in detail at the work of a number of key stars, including George Formby, Gracie Fields, The Crazy Gang, Cicely Courtneidge and Ernie Lotinga, revealing the wide range of comic styles and meanings they produced in seemingly formulaic films. It unearths a host of previously forgotten but notable films, and an important tradition in British popular culture, tracing the roots of the genre to its music-hall beginnings.Includes George Formby, Gracie Fields, The Crazy Gang First full-length study of the subject Will appeal to those studying popular culture and film history Market: Scholars and students of film studies, popular culture, media studies, especially those taking courses on British cinema. Academic libraries. The general reader with an interest in twentieth-century popular culture and British cinema.
Vitamin D Deficiency and Covid-19

“For weeks and weeks people from ethnic minority communities have been wanting to know how they can better protect themselves from coronavirus.” [BBC News June 13th 2020] We believe that during Covid-19, ethnic minority communities in the UK, the USA and elsewhere, and all others vulnerable to seasonal Vitamin D deficiency, have been seriously let down by politicians and medical-scientific officialdom. As a result they have been needlessly deprived of extensive biological knowledge that would have protected them against disease and death from a novel virus, for which adequate levels of Vitamin D are essential. We are two retired physicians of similar ages, who together bring a century of experience to many aspects of medical practice and medical education. This includes the endocrinology of vitamin D, the prevention and treatment of serious infections, experience of previous pandemics, and a sadly sceptical view of present medicoscientific politics. During the course of the Covid-19 disaster we both came up against the neglect of first-line immunity provided by adequate levels of Vitamin D, critically important for effective defence against invasion by all new viruses, and supported by science. This is explored from many aspects in this book, in which we identify important lessons for the future, including the folly of relying exclusively on Big-Pharma and the scientists it supports.

In this comprehensive introductory book for Type 2 diabetes sufferers, and those at risk of developing the condition, Dr David Cavan explains how diabetes works in the body, the potential pitfalls of living with the disease, and how to avoid, delay - or even reverse - the symptoms.Type 2 diabetes statistics make for grim reading. In the UK alone, more than 12 million people are 'at risk' of developing Type 2 diabetes. According to the WHO, the number of people in the world with the condition rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. Worldwide, Type 2 diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. But now for the good news. By following a mindful diet, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining the right body weight vs. height, and avoiding tobacco use, it's possible to prevent or delay the onset of disease, and the symptoms can also be treated with medication. With regular screening, and the correct treatment for complications, those with Type 2 diabetes can hope to live a long and full life. This book will tell you everything you need to know.
Health experts believe that a new class of drugs known as GLP-1s, both the weight loss injections such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro and (in the near future) pills of those same drugs, will have a significant role to play in transforming people's health and reducing obesity rates in the UK and in the US.In this book, Dr David Cavan, a world-leading authority on all aspects of diabetes and the use of semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), reviews the history, development, safe use of, benefits and risks of the latest generation of this class of important medications: Wegovy, which is approved for use in the NHS, alongside diet and physical activity, to manage excess weight and obesity; Ozempic, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) which, in theory, will be more effective than others, and is now approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for weight loss management by the NHS. Up to date with a rigorous understanding of both the latest scientific research and public health policy and informed by years of clinical experience, this guide is rich in detail and patient experience. Dr Cavan gives the reader all the facts - so they are in the best possible position to make sensible decisions that help them to discuss with their doctor and achieve their health goals.
