Piloting a Vulcan is an unforgettable experience: no other aircraft comes close to matching its all-round performance. & as bombers go it's drop-dead gorgeous. But there's a catch. The Vulcan has only one role: to make a second strike. To act in retaliation for a Russian nuclear attack. Silk knows that knows that if he ever flies his Vulcan in anger he'll be flying from a smoking wasteland a Britain obliterated.

- the only
- deterrent. Derek Robinson returns with another rip-roaring gung-ho R.A.F. adventure one that exposes & confronts the brinkmanship & sabre-rattling of the Cold War Era.

Human All Too Human (1878) marks the point where Nietzsche abandons German romanticism for the French Enlightenment. At a moment of crisis in his life (no longer a friend of Richard Wagner forced to leave academic life through ill health) he sets out his views in a scintillating & bewildering series of aphorisms which contain the seeds of his later philosophy (e.g. the will to power the need to transcend conventional Christian morality). The result is one of the cornerstones of his lifes work. It well deserves its subtitle A Book for Free Spirits & its original dedication to Voltaire whose project of radical enlightenment here finds a new champion. Beyond Good & Evil (1886) is a scathing & powerful critique of philosophy religion & science. Here Nietzsche presents us with problems & challenges that are as troubling as they are inspiring while at the same time outlining the virtues ideas & practices which will characterise the philosophy of the future. Relentless energetic tirelessly probing he both determines that philosophys agenda & is himself the embodiment of the type of thought he wants to foster. ...
