As the 1920s progressed & Britain tried to recover from the horrors of war, the country enjoyed a short postwar boom – seeing the development of household gadgets such as dishwashers, sterilisers & cigar lighters – but it did not last & soon unemployment grew.

Peter Pugh shows in this book that despite the ‘swinging twenties’ being largely a myth, the decade was enlivened by mouldbreaking characters such as birth control pioneer Marie Stopes, father of the BBC John Reith, & Horatio Bottomley
- perhaps the biggest business fraudster of all time.

For two weeks in October, Wales held its breath. In the Rugby World Cup, with an influx of young players & probably the most exciting rugby played in the competition, Wales had negotiated a difficult qualifying group to reach a quarter final against an unbeaten Ireland side. Ireland were despatched 22:10; next up was a France side which had misfired throughout the tournament. In New Zealand & at home, Wales believed: over 60, 000 people watched the game at the Millennium Stadium. But injuries to key players, missed kicks, & the sending off of skipper Sam Warburton meant that Wales came up just short in a grippingly tense match they dominated. & defeat against Australia in their last game left Wales fourth.

It couldn't have been closer, & the Wales squad could return home confident for the future & with their heads held high. ...

' If modern medicine is to be a healing art, it must embrace three ideas it has too long ignored. It must address not only our bodies but our minds & spirits as well; it must deal not only with the mechanism of illness but with its meaning; & it must recognise that our power to heal & be healed extends beyond our physical bodies'.
