Summary

'Our modern-day version of an old quotation ‘variety is the spice of life’ is a fitting description of Jacqueline Lonsdale Cuerton’s life story to date. Her relationships with family, friends, acquaintances and colleagues, plus her many and varied occupations, all reflect her ability to adapt to circumstances and move forward with life. Jacqueline is a true survivor. Her story gives us an insight into a very interesting personal life and her service to the community at large, told in a very entertaining style.' - Ann Browne 
'Jacqueline Lonsdale Cuerton has cheated death twice in her life: once as a child when a German bomb blew in the walls of her house in the Blitz; and again when, at 16, she barely survived a horrific motorbike accident. Hers is one of the many ‘ordinary’ lives that, once told, are clearly extraordinary. From these beginnings, and from feelings of being a forgotten and unappreciated child, Jacqueline has emerged to live a fascinating life on her own terms. Twice married, a determined single parent, an accomplished career professional, traveller and poet, and always suffering pain from her accident, Jacqueline has nonetheless prevailed. Her story is instructive and entertaining. She is proud, and should be proud, of who she is and the life she has led. I commend her story to you.' - Steve Wilson

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
