Worried about dying? Or about someone close to you dying? How are you going to cope? What thoughts are going to pass through your mind? Will you be able to manage the last weeks or months without breaking down? How well will you stand up to the pain? Will there be pain?Mainly based on interviews with surviving family members of more than twenty of his close friends who have recently died, the author, a doctor who has a long-standing interest in terminal illness, aims to provide information leading to a better quality of life during the time leading up to death. Separate chapters deal with the sorts of questions people ask themselves at the end of life, the illnesses that may end life and the helping social and health services.. In addition, he discusses how best to communicate with health professionals and with other family members and friends. He considers terminal illness in people with dementia as well as the degree to which the timing of death can be controlled. Relevant practical information (about, for example, disposing of one's possessions, making a will, registering powers of attorney, making suggestions for one's own funeral and writing a memoir), is provided. Throughout the emphasis is on 'going gentle' by avoiding unnecessary distress while acknowledging the inevitable pain that loss of life entails both for the person who is dying and for their nearest and dearest.

In these modern, entertaining and suspenseful ten short stories, Philip Graham explores the way men, whether straight, gay or trans, young or old, deal with their very different sexual desires. Each decade of life is represented by a narrator who tells his own sexual story. The first is told by a four-year-old boy, fascinated by his parents' body hair; the last by a ninety-four-year old moral philosopher, who may be terminally ill in a care home but still finds himself attracted to one of his carers. Each character describes the predicaments into which his sexual feelings lead him. In so doing, he casts light on how his sexuality is seen by others.. People of all genders who find sex more interesting than anything else, will find these stories make compelling reading.

Focusing on scenes as broad as a citywide arts festival and as small as a single paving stone in a cobbled walk, this title renders Lisbon from a perspective that varies between wide-eyed and knowing. It reveals the author's struggles with (and love of) the Portuguese language as well as an awkward meeting with Nobel laureate Jose Saramago.
