This year of reflections give a fairly comprehensive view of Equity Crowdfunding. It is based on articles I wrote for AngelNews and felt a good time to put all this together in one place in the hope that others might learn from my journey whist starting theirs. I am a great believer of learning from doing and sharing experience with colleagues. My reflections on this sector are based on building a Portfolio over seven years, hence this not a purely theoretical book although I share learning about the mechanics of Equity Crowdfunding and include an extensive Glossary. My Portfolio is still in the money on a mark-to-market basis and it has grown to be one of the broadest portfolios, if not the broadest in the UK, covering about investments in at least 600 companies. The individual investments may be small but such a portfolio has demanded significant resource both in times of money and time i.e. between 50 and 100k of cash at any one time and latterly a couple of hours a day keeping up with developments. From the beginning, I have been keen to both learn from fellow investors and from founders and to share my information, analysis and conclusions on the Platforms. When a new investor asks basic questions, I remember that I was a newbie not so long ago. Writing articles was a natural follow on and I was pleased to be asked to write for AngelNews and now to share this book version.

Conservation Biology brings together theory, applied research, basic research, and hundreds of real-world examples and stories from dozens of disciplines to teach students how to become practicing conservation biologists who protect and manage Earth's biodiversity. A major theme throughout the book is the active role that researchers, local communities, the general public, conservation organizations, and governments can play in protecting biodiversity, even while maintaining a high quality of life for humankind.

The human race is about to be destroyed by the Breeder Grays and replaced by millions of hybrids--half human, half alien--the Breeders have created. The weapon of destruction: an enormous asteroid the aliens have diverted to strike earth. Only Michael Kendon, a renegade assassin and sole survivor of a crushed resistance movement, can keep it from happening. Kendon has only three days to locate a powerful weapon designed to deflect the asteroid, a gravity-beam device fueled by the same exotic element that propels the Breeder spacecraft. But to find the weapon, he must first gain the loyalty of a woman whose father, the creator of the weapon, he was forced to kill. During their heart-pounding quest, Kendon's lethal skills keep him and Laura Meller alive and on the move, but his extraordinary mental abilities prove the most bedeviling to the Breeders and their human collaborators. Gray Apocalypse is a warp-speed journey into the heart of universe darkness, and it is an unforgettable tale of human survival and personal redemption.

"A story of honor and bloody revenge." The legend of the 47 ronin is one of the most popular and best known stories about the samurai in Japan. It is often referred to as the country's "national legend" and is the most revered example of the samurai code of honor, bushido, put to the ultimate test. The story tells of a group of samurai who, in 1701, were left leaderless (becoming ronin) after their daimyo (feudal lord) Asano Naganori was compelled to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) for assaulting a court official named Kira Yoshinaka. The ronin, led by Asano's chief councilor, Oishi Yoshio, avenged their master's honor by killing Kira, after waiting and planning for almost two years. In turn, the ronin were themselves forced to commit seppuku for committing the crime of murder. With much embellishment, this true story was popularized in Japanese culture as emblematic of the loyalty, sacrifice, persistence, and honor that people should preserve in their daily lives. The popularity of the almost mythical tale was enhanced by rapid modernization following the fall of the shogun during the Meiji era of Japanese history. Many versions of the events appeared and the story of the 47 ronin continues to be popular in Japan to this day. This book traces the history of the story through various retellings. It includes the first English version to appear in print, from Isaac Titsingh's "Illustrations of Japan", published in 1822, plus the second from "The Capital of the Tycoon" by Rutherford Alcock. It also includes in full "The Forty-Seven Ronins" from "Tales of Old Japan" by A. B. Mitford (plus his account of seppuku/hara-kiri), "The Loyal Ronins" by Shunsui Tamenaga, translated by Shiuichiro Saito and Edward Greey and "The Forty-Seven Ronin" by James Murdoch from "A History of Japan". This is a comprehensive collection which brings together some of the best known versions of the story and serves as a perfect introduction to the legendary tale of the 47 ronin.
