This book started as an analysis of the heroic fallacy but became several other kinds of story. Primarily, the portrait of a protracted breakdown in the author Michael Scott's psychological and physical make-up, although he struggles hard not to go under, making his account more useful for others to read. It's neither pathological, nor self-indulgently self-pitying.There are useful accounts of coping strategies, particularly appropriate to age-related weakness and physical infirmity, especially when their onset is sudden as it was for Scott.The book focuses on puzzling features of human behaviour, and whether the species Homo sapiens is anything like the triumphant evolutionary achievement we pretend it to be. We are repeatedly warned about our anthropic megalomania, amply illustrated by unflinching description of the author's own egotism.Two other primary considerations in the book are consciousness and love. Scott questions the airy assumptions made about consciousness, arguing that it is fundamentally unknown and unanalysable. He claims that consciousness is part of life itself, and possibly non-living systems too. He evidences Daniel Dennett writing that the human brain creates a "narrative of consciousness", Scott believes the universe itself is the set of brain-narratives we choose to regard as 'reality'.As for love, Scott is a passionate advocate of it as the only saving grace in our collective and individual behaviour: the supreme brain-narrative, but believes that we are superficial and hypocritical in our attempts to give love its full majesty.In a vivid sense, therefore, The Fifth Revelation becomes a love story. Scott's deeply cherished wife of sixty years marriage died a short time after the book was finished.

When the Wells sisters from the tiny English hamlet of Denton, near Ilkley, Yorkshire, took up mountaineering at the start of the twentieth century, little did they know that they were to become pioneers in women's climbing in the UK. At the time of the growing strength of the Women's Suffragette movement, women-only mountaineering began to increase in popularity. This story describes the adventures of Paddy, Trilby and Biddy Wells, through Wharfedale, the Lake District, North Wales, Scotland and the Alps, including the first all-female traverse of the Skye ridge, the first female descent of Gaping Ghyll pothole, and the first female to successfully climb all the Scottish Munros.There were links in the lives of the three sisters to the Church of St. John in Ben Rhydding; to the local ladies Hockey Club; to the founding of England's first women only climbing club; to Bradford Diocesan Council meetings; to innovative ideas in Special Needs education in Bradford; to local amateur operatic and Gilbert and Sullivan Societies; and to many leading and famous British mountaineers of the period.This story will be of interest to the local people in Ilkley and Wharfedale, to mountaineer's around the world and to all those interested in discovering more about some remarkable, independently minded women to whom we should all be in awe.

Eileen Scott has had an amazing career. In the male dominated world of business of the 1960¿s she fought her way up through the ranks of senior executives at ICI, then the world's largest chemical company. Eileen recounts being invited into the oak panelled boardroom of ICI where the directors were seated as they smoked cigars and drank whisky. The Chairman said, 'Eileen we just want to tell you that had you not been a woman we can clearly see that one day you would have run this company', at which point Eileen was waved out of the room. Thankfully, times have changed, Among her prolific creative output Eileen has authored several books such as 'Savage Quest', 'Soredia Inheritance' and 'Ziggurat'.

If you are living with diabetes you'll understand that food and your health are intrinsically linked. Most diets fail because they don't bring the long-term benefits of weight-loss combined with better health - shockingly, research has shown that a large proportion of the weight lost as a result of most dietary approaches consists of healthy lean tissue rather than body fat. 'the 6 diet' is different because it focuses on YOU. Recognising that individual nutritional needs to meet your own health and weight-loss goals is key to your success, this is no one-size-fits-all diet!This approach uniquely brings together the most up-to-date scientific nutritional knowledge with the traditional principles of Chinese dietetics, a fusion developed by Elaine Wilson over a decade of clinical work with patients and clients seeking to lose weight AND improve their health. Based on proven weight-loss principles 'the 6 diet' ticks all the boxes to promote:¿ Proper blood sugar control¿ Easy abdominal fat loss¿ More energy and vitalityEndorsed by internationally renowned nutritional expert:"The 6 Diet makes good nutritional sense, applying the latest principles of optimum nutrition and low GL diet, rather than the outdated low fat, low calorie approach, coupled with the wisdom of traditional Chinese principles about vital energy which, I believe, is a core element ignored in western approaches." Patrick Holford, founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition
