A collection of poems touching on controversial contemporary topics such as the value of invisibility, Noah's Ark, Anarchy and a dog barking in the middle of the night.
This is the story of the soul seen as a separate living organism emerging during human evolution. Stripped of all its eerie metaphysical attributes, more importantly stripped of its immortality, the soul is seen as a symbiote or even a parasite of the body with its own agenda: the search of pleasure.Snapshots from the lives of three different couples separated by space and time, mine and F, Arnie and the woman of extreme honesty and Adrian and Kate are used to explore the bloody conflict between body and soul, or what we call self.

An alarming new case has come to the Greek island of Kos, which threatens the vital holiday industry and the lives of innocent locals. Inspector Dikeos must track down a dangerous suspect targeting coach drivers on the island and attempt to protect holidaymakers caught in the crossfire. In the unique landscape of Kos, he must quickly track down the man who is destroying the tranquility and beauty of one of Greece's most important destinations. This is Chance Garner's first story set in the Greek islands. Chance was born in York, England, and now lives in the Yorkshire Wolds with his family.
An illustrated account of the disastrous British-led effort to occupy the Dodecanese in autumn 1943, as Winston Churchill attempted to secure the Aegean islands in the wake of the Italian armistice.The occupation was a gamble intended to increase pressure against Germany and at the same time possibly provide encouragement for Turkey to join the Allies. Spearheaded by the Special Boat Squadron and the Long Range Desert Group, garrison troops were deployed to the Italian-occupied Dodecanese, but they were too late to prevent the Germans from taking control of the key island of Rhodes and its all-important airfields.An all-out German offensive followed. Air force and naval units supported a series of assaults by infantry and paratroopers, including specialist forces of the Division Brandenburg. Within three months, only Castelorizzo was still in British hands. Rhodes, Kos and Leros remained under German occupation until May 1945 and the end of the war in Europe.The Dodecanese would be Adolf Hitler’s last enduring victory – and the last enduring British-led defeat.

This volume is based on material from an intensive and systematic field survey of Halasarna (modern Kardamaina), located on a coastal plain in the southern part of the Dodecanesian island of Kos, and a study of settlement patterns across the Aegean. It provides a new corpus of data on the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age periods, presents a material sequence based on stylistic analysis, and develops a diachronic understanding of settlement dynamics within a wider regional context.
