  This story grew out of an extended family system in rural Mississippi in the early 1940s. This occurred at a time when many black families were immigrating North. A young African American boy of age 18 months had the misfortune of being caught in the middle of squabble between his two parents who were desperately trying to escape the rigor of Southern plantation living that they were in. Finally, his mother was told by his father in no uncertain terms to just bring the girls to Detroit and leave the boys behind with their grandmother. This put such a strain on this young child that even after he had been potty trained, he eventually had to be put back in diapers.

  Anselm - A Very Short Introduction

  Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109) was the outstanding philosopher-theologian of the Latin West between Augustine and the thirteenth century. As a public figure, especially as Archbishop of Canterbury, he corresponded with kings and nobles, popes and bishops, in letters that reveal a fascinating personality and flesh out the practical dimensions of his theoretical philosophy. He wrote at a time when a renewed interest in logic encouraged careful and rigorous argumentation, but before the recovery of Aristotle filled the philosophical discourse with difficult technical jargon, making for writing that is unrivalled for its lucidity and accessibility. He offers the first clear account of what we now call a libertarian view of free will, according to which free choices cannot be determined by the agent's internal states or by external influences. His famous "ontological argument" for the existence of God continues to generate discussion, debate, and puzzlement. His understanding of God is rightly regarded as one of the definitive expressions of classical theism or perfect-being theology, which remains influential in philosophy of religion and analytic theology. His account of the Atonement is one that every theologian to this day still grapples with.

  THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
  From bestselling historian Saul David, a riveting new history of the British airborne experience across the Second World War. 
  The legendary ‘Red Devils’ were among the finest combat troops of the Second World War. Created at Churchill’s instigation in June 1940, they began as a single parachute battalion of 500 men and grew into three 10,000-strong airborne divisions: the 1st, 6th and 44th Indian, each composed of parachutists and glider-borne troops. Wearing their distinctive maroon berets, steel helmets and Dennison smocks, they served with distinction in every major theatre of the conflict – including North Africa, Sicily, mainland Europe and the Far East – and played a starring role in some most iconic airborne operations in history: the Bruneval Raid of February 1942; the capture of the Primasole, Pegasus and Arnhem Bridges in July 1943, June 1944 and September 1944 respectively; and Operation Varsity, the biggest parachute drop in history, near Wesel in Germany in March 1945. 
  Sky Warriors by Saul David is a Sunday Times bestseller that provides a modern, non-fiction account of Britain's military aviation history in the 20th century. This autobiography of the Red Devils is a compelling read for anyone interested in World War II. 
  For fans of Damien Lewis (SAS Daggers Drawn), Joseph Wheelan (Bitter Peleliu), Antony Beevor (Arnhem), Al Murray (Watching War Films With My Dad), and Geoffrey Wawro (A Mad Catastrophe).
