This best-selling book is both aimed at the beginner and someone who is perhaps considering taking up metal detecting. However it also contains information that the more experienced detectorist may find very useful. After a combined 70 years metal detecting Dave Stuckey and I decided that we had a large amount of research information that allowed us in most cases to quickly assess the potential of areas to search. Why should everyone else have to wait that long to get the same benefits as we had? We simply had to share it all. Who would guess that a flock of birds might just reveal the site of a Roman villa or a cluster of molehills be the site of a Georgian manor house? Those pieces of twisted metal you have just found might actually pin point the site of a crashed wartime aeroplane. Just like a forensic examination every investigative factor is covered here, what might it reveal for you? Written in an “easy read” style with high quality colour illustrations it is perhaps that ideal Christmas or birthday present, or indeed anytime gift for that person in your life you know is or could well become very interested in metal detecting.

The Twisting of Souls
‘THE TWISTING OF SOULS’ is an emotional roller coastal ride. Christina’s life had been falling apart. She had come to despise Carl, the man who had shared much of her life…a turbulent life. Handsome and charismatic Carl De-vrise, feels the bottom has fallen out of his world. Unable to accept their relationship is over he becomes obsessed with revenge. No longer able to conceal his dark side, the depth of his sardonic passion is for all to see. His turmoil of seething emotion motivates his every attack, with only one thing in mind–to trap and destroy Christina. Diagnosed with a fatal illness he had nothing to lose. His attitude was, even if he ended up dead, what the hell. “If I can’t have you then no other fucker will! And that dwarf you’re with, his days are numbered.” The following 11 months became a living nightmare for Jack and Christina as they became ensnared in the emotional twist of daily onslaughts, perpetrated and executed by Carl De-Vrise. His need to win and have total control underpinned his every move and using a phrase he often expressed “to win you have to know your opponent’s “Achilles Heel”. He certainly knew Christina’s. Endeavouring to survive and outwit the malicious and vindictive actions perpetrated by Carl, forced Christina and Jack to defend and protect what was theirs. “How could she do this!” Was the cry of disbelief from family and friends when hearing that Christina was no longer with Carl. The close family were under no illusion, therefore, under “normal” circumstances, no heed would have been paid to Christina’s exit from the relationship. But this was not normal. Her timing was wrong. Carl had cancer. Enduring 11 months of being stalked and harassed, with fear as their daily companion, the final straw eventually came when “nowhere else to hide” and being shot at-forced them to leave beloved England and flee for their lives. A mistaken phone call intervenes with fate. Christina returns to England. Christina’s re-emergence into Carl’s life causes the family to gasp with disbelief. Carl is dying. It becomes imperative for Christina to seek forgiveness from Carl. Her daughter Felicity mistakenly believed that Carl would reject her. His welcome of Christina’s return, divides the family. Felicity’s jealousy of her mother’s occupancy in Carl’s life becomes a main thread in the second half of the book. An unbelievable twist becomes the finale to this true and at times incredible story.
Science Uncoiled
Whilst programming early PET and IBM computers, I thought our brains must be better designed. If someone hit the wrong button, computers instantly forgot everything you’d written. I still recall sharing Aristotle’s delight and shouting ‘eureka’ 48 years ago when I discovered how life originated. This book grew from the idea that uncoiled DNA held flat by proteins formed a molecular abacus called a ‘minion’. Minions have nine answers to any question, they don’t just answer yes or no. Only Human explains how minions account for different ways of thinking. They index knowledge, relate artistic, scientific and philosophical ideas and resolve disputes. They embrace all human knowledge, store it in 18-character words and account for relationships and aesthetics. ‘We see through a glass, darkly’ says the Bible, I offer a vision of how the 21st century will be different. What’s Natural? describes mind and body working together and how trace element supplements can prevent common maladies. Genes encoding enzymes don’t explain everything. We also inherit molecular pumps made of DNA, establishing life’s rulebook. Understanding them and adopting my proposals could simplify medical and psychiatric care, freeing resources for managing rare conditions and foreign aid. Origin of life relates my discovery of ice crystallizing in liquid nitrogen, explaining it. Allowing for the way minions warp perception reinterprets relativity, big bang cosmology and quantum mechanics; research needs redirecting to humanitarian projects. Mimicking life’s energy efficiency would reduce the fuel consumption and pollution threatening our environment. Theories evolve, as Newton did ‘I have stood on the shoulders of giants’.
Sales Dogs
The number one skill for any entrepreneur or business owner is the ability to sell. Why? Because sales = income. Yet, many fail financially not because they do not have great ideas or even good work ethic, but typically because they don’t know how to, refuse to, are afraid to, or don’t think it is important to know how to sell. SalesDogs was written as the very first of the Rich Dad Poor Dad “how-to” Advisory series to teach in a very fun and impactful way how to overcome the fears, the myths and the obstacles to selling your products, services or yourself. It then teaches a simple, time-proven process of selling that will generate great income in most any business. The reader will learn the five most important selling skills to master, how to overcome any objection, manage a territory and much more.The book quickly de-bunks the idea that you have to be an overly aggressive “attack dog” to be successful. It uses the metaphor of “man’s best friend” to say that a great sales person is like a loyal, persistent and lovable canine. It stipulates that there are five different “breeds” or personalities of SalesDogs that can each make a lot of money by playing to its strength. You will learn how to identify, maximize and train to that strength and also how to teach others on your team to do the same.While the book is fun and engaging, it also dives deep into the personal development issues that block a person’s ability to generate income and how to overcome them. The book is perfect for first time salespeople, individuals who are uncomfortable with the notion of “selling”, those who need to train others to sell and those who want to simply get better quicker.
