I cannot think of any world problem that is more desperately in need of a solution than obesity. It is certainly on the same level as terrorism, starvation and AIDS. If it is not successfully addressed and sorted out soon, health care systems around the world will grind to a halt. This 50-page book offers a way forward. It addresses the essential requirements for successful weight loss: eating the right food, eating the right quantity of it, managing your environment, managing your own attitude and outlook, and getting exercise. The tips are blunt and to the point and they demand discipline. But if you follow them, you'll lose as much weight as you want. They worked for me.

This novella is the story of a heroic occupant of the chair of St. Peter, the two hundred sixty sixth Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. He sets about confronting and fixing the endemic problems of the Church and many of its most destructive policies and teachings. He is met with strong opposition from the Vatican community which he gradually overcomes. The final apocalypse is a scene of horror but ultimately one of hope for the future. If you are a non-Catholic, with doubts about the values and behaviour of the Church and the organisation that runs it, you may feel sympathy with the man who confronts its problems so directly and courageously. And if you are a devout Catholic, you will undoubtedly find his story painful, but ultimately you are likely to rejoice at the heartening results of his heroic journey.

Britain is truly a great place to live, but the economic quality of life is under threat while it tries to get out from under a mountain of public debt. As the coalition government struggles to rein in spending, people's expectations will have to be reduced. They cannot realistically expect even moderate wage increases any time soon, the services offered by the National Health Service will have to be curtailed, the law enforcement authorities may have difficulty coping with increased street unrest, and people will generally have to reduce expectations and downshift their lifestyle. All the talk by politicians about the best route to growth is just rhetoric. The reality is that we must get back to a public spending level that we can afford. Until then, it will be very uncomfortable for many of us. It's that simple. Much of this difficulty has been exacerbated by Europe and its catastrophic currency experiment. I suggest however that common sense will prevail in Britain and that the nation will eventually emerge in relatively good shape, but only after a long and painful period of reform and recovery. In this brief article I explain why it will be difficult and conclude by itemising what individuals must do to get through the pain.
