This book addresses topics identified by the BI community and the CILA. The authors do not propose prescriptive new wording, nor do they want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The authors believe that most of the existing BI wording works, most of the time. But they do want to highlight those areas where they think some clarification would help.
Clarity and contract certainty, where consistency in the claims response can be seen, is the main aim of the book.

'the experiences and musings of a veterinary surgeon' – A collection of short stories recording some entertaining aspects of Martin's life as a veterinary surgeon.
A Complete Parish Priest Peter Green (1871-1961)
Peter Green is a legend in the Diocese of Manchester, and a figure held up as an example, whose writing featured in my confirmation preparation long ago. His writings emphasise the need for the Anglo-Catholic faith and devotion to go hand in hand with evangelism, resulting in personal commitment to Our Lord. I believe that despite the change in social conditions Green’s advice about the importance of the parish ministry is relevant today, as is his warning of the danger of secularisation to both Church and Nation. I commend this book as a spiritual resource. by Nigel Manchester – Bishop of Manchester
Echoes of Trauma and Shame in German Families
How is it possible for people who were born in a time of relative peace and prosperity to suddenly discover war as a determining influence on their lives?For decades to speak openly of German suffering during World War II—to claim victimhood in a country that had victimized millions—was unthinkable. But in the past few years, growing numbers of Germans in their 40s and 50s calling themselves Kriegsenkel, or Grandchildren of the War, have begun to explore the fundamental impact of the war on their present lives and mental health. Their parents and grandparents experienced bombardment, death, forced displacement, and the shame of the Nazi war crimes. The Kriegsenkel feel their own psychological struggles—from depression, anxiety disorders, and burnout to broken marriages and career problems—are the direct consequences of unresolved war experiences passed down through their families.Drawing on interviews, participant observation, and a broad range of scholarship, Lina Jakob considers how the Kriegsenkel movement emerged at the nexus between public and familial silences about World War II, and critically discusses how this new collective identity is constructed and addressed within the framework of psychology and Western therapeutic culture.

But the Organization won't let him go: they have other plans for him. In a violent tale that shatters as many illusions as bodies, Jean-Patrick Manchette subjects his characters and the reader alike to a fierce exercise in style. This tightly plotted, corrosive parody of «the success story» is widely considered to be Manchette's masterpiece, and was named a New York Times «Notable Book» in 2002. The Gunman is a classic of modern noir.Also available in its original edition titled The Prone Gunman, along with Manchette's Three to Kill, published by City Lights in 2002."There's not a superfluous word or overdone effect . . . one of the last cool, compact and shockingly original crime novels Manchette left as his legacy to modern noir fiction." — New York Times"This is lean, mean noir fiction that cleverly sends up the tough guy genre while incarnating it perfectly." — Detroit Free Press"Manchette is a master of both economy and irony. Brutal and bracing: Terrier's tale fascinates even as it chills." — Kirkus Reviews“For Manchette and the generation of writers who followed him, the crime novel is no mere entertainment, but a means to strip bare the failures of society, ripping through veils of appearance, deceit, and manipulation to the greed and violence that are the society's true engines." — Boston Globe"Jean-Patrick Manchette's terse prose moves like the swift, almost automatic methods and mannerisms of his protagonist." — Wall Street Journal
