Taking up any challenge, even an extreme one, for many people is not unusual, especially when the aim is to raise money to support a specific charity or other deserving cause. Often there is a direct link between the person taking on the challenge and the charity nominated to benefit from funds raised. Not all succeed, of course, even ending in heart break and sadly, tragic circumstances, at times. So, what happens when one, 57-year-old, unfit, overweight, ex-smoking individual decides to pit himself against one of the world's Seven Summits? Maybe it is a recipe for disaster on the face of it, some might even say foolhardy and risky but the events of the previous years that led to this attempt were compelling and after much consideration, made the urge too strong to ignore. The actual challenge was one thing but undertaking the preparation and importantly the fund raising, were extremely hard work, yet, at the same time fulfilling, fun and exhausting. Every Step of the Way not only charts the 12 months leading up to that week on Mount Kilimanjaro and details the actual climb but, additionally, looks into the reasons for attempting it, which began with one man being diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, his appalling treatment in care, and the inevitable outcome.

What would you try if you knew you couldn't fail? What would your life look like if all your dreams came true? Do you know the biggest regret people have at the end of their lives is that they didn't take more chances?

The author shares his experiences, powerful philosophy and system to help you go from fearful to fearless in everything you do, so you can achieve more success than ever before. What you will learn: # Why your lack of success is not your fault. # How to crush that inner voice of self-doubt forever. # How to get the courage to step out of your comfort zone. # How a slight shift in your thinking will give you incredible results. # Why it is never too late to go for your dreams. The goal of the book is simple: to inspire you to go for the life you deserve with an unshakeable confidence in yourself.

This is a short personal story about my experiences with bowel cancer. It is an account from the time of realising something was wrong, to referrals, undergoing investigations, diagnosis and treatment. I have tried to include the physical and emotional aspects of my condition as well as the processes that begin once we have a medical problem such as bowel cancer. This short story is framed around an 18-month period. I have mentioned everything that was going on at this time, because we do not exist in isolation. No matter what events take place for us as individuals, life goes on around us; the good, the bad and the ugly, including for me, the worry of my son's fight with kidney failure compared to the joy of my wife being presented with the Dr Kate Granger award for compassionate care. This small book is aimed to be informative, sometimes humorous I hope, but above all to give insight into the thoughts, feelings and journey of a cancer sufferer. It aims to demystify the procedures, surgery and chemotherapy involved, hopefully accurately, but is written by someone who is not medically qualified and therefore there may be some inaccuracies. I hope it gives hope to those diagnosed with bowel cancer. It may also be of interest to those who wonder what it is like to have a cancer diagnosis. I will forever be indebted to the fast and competent actions of my wife and the amazing skills of my colorectal surgeon, Professor Mark Coleman. However, I would also like to thank the gastroenterologist, who identified the tumour, those who carried out the scans and interpreted them, the nurses who looked after me, the oncology team who monitored and administered my chemo and all friends and relatives for their emotional support. I cannot fault my care in the NHS; in my opinion it remains a wonderful institution, my care has been exemplary, and I owe a huge debt to all of the above.

This book, part of the series Cave and Karst Systems of the World, begins with a review of the interaction between people and caves in Australia (including conservation), followed by descriptions of the spectacular cave diving sites, before comprehensively covering all the major carbonate and noncarbonate karst areas, subdivided by rock type and region, and including the origin of the caves. This is followed by broad overviews of cave minerals and speleothems, cave biology and cave fossils. Each section was written by one or more specialists in the topic and is illustrated by clear diagrams and superb colour photos. The book emphasises the unique aspects of the Australian karst, including the variability in the age of the caves (very old to very young) and the impact of isolation on the stygofauna, as well as the vertebrate fossils preserved in the caves. Written in an easy-to-read style, the book is a primary reference guide to Australian karst and represents a valuable asset for anyone interested in the topic, not only cavers and academics.

When his formidable Aunt Val dies, she leaves him an unusual bequest: her task for Teddy is to post letters to eight of her friends around the world, a job that will take him on a journey into new and unexpected territory. When the replies start flowing in - quirky, unexpected and often hilarious missives from India, Egypt, England, Canada and beyond - Teddy realises there was more to his tough aunt than he'd thought. Will he take on Aunt Val's role as confidant and comforter of the lost? Confidant and comforter? Teddy?!One thing's for certain: Aunt Val is laughing in her grave.
