Ray Clift

Sinopse

A kaleidoscope of social history and down-to-earth humour tracing the life of Ray Clift through sickness, recovery, sadness, the discovery of the truth about his birth and many life-threatening moments as a long-serving Adelaide police officer, during which he received citations for courage. Not satisfied with a quiet retirement, he moved into a fifteen-year career as a court sheriff's office in the northern suburbs of Adelaide. He also served some years in the Reserve forces, most of it in Army Intelligence. The book includes accounts of Ray's contact beyond the veil with Grey Eagle, his spirit guide, who leads him in automatic writing and helps him understand his vivid dreams. Ray also describes his encounters with ghosts, which are revealing and often very funny.

Conversations with Isaiah Berlin

Ramin Jahanbegloo

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'.
