The story of the rescue of Oscar, a tiny puppy abandoned in Spain and later brought to Great Britain. Told in his own words with full colour pictures.

A wounded soldier comes home from the Boer War to find the girl he left behind engaged to the local mine-owner's son. He becomes involved in a bitter dispute between the wealthy boss and the miners, leading to his brutal arrest and trial for murder. Can he avoid the hangman's noose and win back his lost love, or does fickle fate have other plans for him?

This is the brutal but ultimately uplifting true story of SHAK: the only charity in the UK which rescues condemned dogs from death-row and guarantees them a comfortable, happy life.

A young man struggling to find the lasting love and happiness he yearns for after a disastrous start to life, defends his daughter against sexual abuse and is soon on the run from a murder charge. He flees across Europe and takes refuge in North Africa, right at the start of the brutal Arab Spring uprising of 2010/11. This tense, fast-paced thriller pulls no punches in describing how a sidelined social misfit steps up to the mark and tries to prevail over his past; to overcome the obstacles in his future, and at last succeed in any way he can. It chronicles the people he meets along the way, some of whom will stay in his heart forever, and an unlikely love affair which persists against all odds. This book also includes some of the animals that they and any of us could meet on our journeys through life, and how they can so often enrich that journey. The backdrop is the author's move to a new life in Spain and his experiences there.

Is Religion Necessary: A Debate is a book written by Robert MacGowan that explores the question of whether religion is necessary in today's society. The book presents a debate between two opposing views on the topic, with one side arguing that religion is an essential aspect of human existence, while the other side argues that it is not necessary and may even be harmful. The book covers a range of topics related to religion, including its history, its role in society, and its impact on individuals and communities. It also examines the various arguments for and against the necessity of religion, drawing on both philosophical and empirical evidence. Ultimately, the book aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the complex issues surrounding the role of religion in modern life, and to encourage thoughtful reflection and discussion on this important topic.This is a new release of the original 1931 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
