This exciting Greenvill Collins biography is about seventeenth century navigation, focusing for the first time on mathematics practised at sea. This monograph argues the Restoration kings’, Charles II and James II, promotion of cartography for both strategy and trade. It is aimed at the academic, cartographic and larger market of marine enthusiasts. Through shipwreck and Arctic marooning, and Dutch and Spanish charts, Collins evolved a Prime Meridian running through Charles’s capital. After John Ogilby’s successful Britannia, Charles set Collins surveying his kingdom’s coasts, and James set John Adair surveying in Scotland. They triangulated at sea. Subsequently, Collins persuaded James to sustain his dead brother’s ambition. This, the British coast’s first survey took six years. After James’s flight, and William III’s invasion, Collins lead the royal yacht squadron for six years more, garnering funds to publish Great Britain’s Coasting Pilot. The Admiralty and civic institutions subsidised what became his own pilot. Collins aided Royal Society members in their investigations, and his new guide remained vital to navigators through the century following. Charles’s cartographic promotion bloomed the most spectacularly in the atlases of Ogilby, Collins and John Flamsteed for roads, harbours, and stars.

The DCI Spearing and DI Devlin series tells the real story of the UK in the 'swinging' 1960s through to the 1970s Glam Rock and beyond. Our two detectives are based in New Scotland Yard within the 'new' Serious Crime Squad. They see the real effects of the free-flowing drugs, cheap booze, free love, wild parties, rapes of both boys and girls, and corruption at every level of society - Men, Women, Boys, and Girls - from the highest to the lowest in the UK society. Not to mention the corruption of the police by gangsters and MI5/MI6 by foreign governments. MI5, in particular, was running amok, illegally killing criminals, but sometimes getting it very wrong and killing innocent people. For many people, the 60s were their "Halcyon Days," but in reality, it was nothing like the 'All you need is Love' world, as seen through the rose-coloured spectacles of 'The Hippies' and 'The Flower People.'In addition to all the crime and corruption etc., There were wars, including The Cold War with Russia and Vietnam and the open killing of anti-war protesters in the USA. The Civil Rights movement, the Ku Klux Klan murdering innocent coloured people, and the assassination of Presidents, Politicians, plus civil rights people like Martin Luther King. The books are set against a backdrop of the most successful period in British pop music history, in which the Author, Paul Hughes, was involved in Scotland and London. He has used his experiences in some of the storylines. Many storylines are set all over the UK, from 'swinging' London to the 'No Mean City' streets of Glasgow, DI Devlin's hometown. Many stories are based on fact, although some are exaggerated, and the author uses fictional names and places. Although the stories are based on the uglier, more complex, and more violent crime side of the 'swinging' sixties and the glam rock of the seventies, the storylines are still laced with the humour of those times. All of the Books in the Series have recently (From January 2025 onwards ) been re-formatted, re-edited, and re-published. The DCI Devlin and DI Devlin Book Series has been so far: Book 1, 'Beginning to End.'Book 2, 'Running Amok.'Book 3, 'Revenge is Mine.'Book 4, 'Chasing Dark Shadows.'Book 5, 'Do It Or Die.' (To be published June 2025).

As a poor farm boy who was inured to hard labor, Thomas Josiah Kinard I (1889-1971) chopped cotton and harvested timber in the Piney Woods of Polk County. He had already felt the call of God on his life before he received the Pentecostal Baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1915. When war came, he was ready and willing to answer the call of his country as well as his God. He participated in four major offenses France, then marched into Germany to serve in the Army of Occupation. After the War, Tom Kinard founded several Assemblies of God churches and pastored others, while working full-time at the huge Humble refinery in Baytown, Texas. He wrote: "I did not mind one bit, this was my country, and my people, and I loved it better than ever before, and tomorrow I will get my Discharge, and go back to my home and loved ones that I have not seen in twenty-three months, with the feeling that I had tried to be a good soldier, for my country in the time of this great struggle against the forces of evil."

"What shall we do?" was the question people asked John the Baptist as they came to be baptized. Others asked this question of Jesus during his ministry in Galilee, and of Peter on the Day of Pentecost. After two thousand years, even many confirmed Christians remain confused. May a Christian work on the Sabbath? Is the Sabbath Saturday or Sunday? Must we eat Kosher? Paul said that Christ fulfilled the Law, so what are the rules for today? Must Christians still follow the Ten Commandments, or have all the commandments been abolished in favor of "love"? If there is no Law, is anything still a sin? What are we required to do, or forbidden to do, and how much can we get away with, and still be saved? The New Testament, especially in the practical teachings of the Apostle Paul, contains adequate answers to many of these questions and provides principles for making Godly decisions even on debatable matters never dreamt of two thousand years ago.

This book leaves few denominational toes untrodden. An objective review of Church history demonstrates that Christian theology soon went astray from that laid out in the New Testament, as the Fathers of the Church lost their understanding of sound interpretive principles. Theology began to be supplemented, then co-opted and corrupted, by Greek philosophy: namely, Middle Platonism, then Neoplatonism, and later Theurgy. The external, heterodox doctrines derived from Pagan philosophy were embraced by the Eastern Church, carried into the Western Church, repeatedly revived in the Medieval Church in the form of Scholasticism, Mysticism, and Catholic Church dogma, and re-popularized by modern theologians to the present day. The negative influence of these heterodoxies is manifest in modern elements of Mysticism, Contemplative Prayer, Sacramentalism, Sacerdotalism, the so-called New Theology, and emphasis on Universalism, Liberation, Unity, Mystical Union, apotheosis, divinization, and "spiritual formation."
